Uncle Ming recovered quickly. He was only confused for about two or three seconds, then he put away the confusion and shock on his face, smiled at the fat man, and made a sound.
"Boss Wang, this courtyard house of mine is not worth much at all... I think after we come back from Tibet, I will get you some more antiques. Those antiques are more valuable."
Words spread.
‘Are you testing Fatty? Want to see if Fatty really knows that most of his antiques are worthless?
Because he deliberately stared at Uncle Ming, Ding Ze immediately noticed some changes in Uncle Ming's expression and tone. After thinking about it, he felt that this was what happened.
'hehe.'
'Sure enough, ginger is still spicier with age.'
'The fat man probably won't be aware of this level of temptation.'
Ding Zeru thought.
At this time, the fat man smiled and replied, "Of course we have to get some of those antiques... However, antiques are antiques, and courtyards are courtyards. These are two different things."
"The main reason I want your courtyard house is to realize Lao Hu and I's wish. It has nothing to do with how much money you have."
"There is a saying that goes, wishes are priceless. I think this is a good saying, what do you think?"
Hear this.
Uncle Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When Ding Ze saw this, he was sure of two things... Uncle Ming was indeed testing, and Fatty didn't realize it... So, he had a good idea to tease Fatty back...
'Hey, hey,' just thinking about the fat man's reaction, Ding Ze found it so funny that he couldn't help but laugh silently.
at the same time.
Uncle Ming's acting skills were soaring and he had a voice. He said to the fat man in an awkward tone, "I also think that wishes are indeed priceless, but...Boss Wang, I am really embarrassed to give you this courtyard as a reward..."
"The thing is, my family's situation is quite complicated. In fact, this courtyard no longer belongs to me, but to one of my sons..."
Come on, come on, Uncle Ming is talking nonsense.
After talking about it for a while, Uncle Ming sighed and said in a very sincere tone, "Hey, if I had known that you liked this courtyard, Boss Wang, I shouldn't have given it to my son..."
The words fell to the ground.
Everyone walked to a house on the side.
Uncle Ming reached out and pushed open the door, "Come in, please come in, have some tea and chat slowly."
The fat man said nothing more for the time being and walked into the main room of the house.
The same goes for Ding Ze and others.
Not long after.
All six people sat down.
Uncle Ming ordered to Adong, "Adong, help pour the tea."
A Dong nodded and said, "Okay."
In the blink of an eye, A Dong poured the tea.
Uncle Ming saw this and said to Adong, "You go out first."
A Dong did not hesitate and Ma Liu left the house.
-----------------------
In the hall.
"Five bosses, thank you for your hard work coming all the way. Let's drink some tea first and moisten our throats, and then we'll talk about business," Uncle Ming greeted politely.
Ding Ze didn't say anything. He had no interest in what was going to happen... Considering the development of the plot, he didn't intend to get involved... so he picked up the teacup and drank tea by himself.
Fat people are just the opposite.
The fat man was not interested in drinking tea. He picked up the tea cup and took a few sips. Then he opened his mouth again and continued the topic that he had left off not long ago. He said to Uncle Ming, "Uncle Ming, according to what you said, your courtyard house is really good."
You can’t give it to us as part of the reward?”
Uncle Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I can't help it, Boss Wang. I'm really sorry."
When the fat man heard this, he immediately let out a long sigh and looked disappointed, "e=(′o｀*))) Sigh... This is boring. I am still looking forward to changing my place..."
Possessed by a fat drama queen, blah blah blah.
Uncle Ming couldn't help it, blah blah blah, he was very good at acting and responded a little apologetically.
The two went back and forth and fought for several rounds.
Uncle Ming's attitude that he would not give this courtyard house was very obvious in his words.
"Okay, let's not talk about this courtyard," Fatty realized, and stopped pestering him, "Uncle Ming, what kind of reward do you plan to give us? Tell us."
Uncle Ming laughed and said, "Boss Wang, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you in terms of remuneration."
"This is my plan."
"The glacier crystal corpse in that nine-story monster building belongs to me. Our family will take half of the artifacts inside... When the time comes, you can choose first."
"Besides, after you come back, you can choose any of the antiques I have here."
"how?"
Hear the words.
The fat man immediately grasped the key point, "Uncle Ming, what do you mean by picking casually, there is no limit to the quantity?"
When Uncle Ming heard this, his expression stiffened slightly, and then he replied with a smile, "What I said is inaccurate...the quantity must be limited, otherwise, if you take away all my antiques, I will suffer a loss."
He’s dead.”
"I think the quantity should be limited to ten pieces. How about that?"
The fat man shook his head decisively, "Too few! We risked our lives to help you dig up those crystal corpses..."
Bah bah bah bah.
Fatty and Uncle Ming had another 'confrontation' between you and me.
"Twenty pieces! Twenty pieces at most, absolutely no more," after the confrontation, Uncle Ming said through gritted teeth with superb acting skills and a heart-wrenching performance.
The fat man smiled brightly, turned his head, looked around at Ding Ze and the others, and then nodded to Uncle Ming, "Okay, we don't want you to suffer, so let's settle it like this. When we come back,
Let’s come to your place and pick out twenty antiques.”
Uncle Ming smiled helplessly, "Well...Boss Wang, you are really amazing. I have been doing business for decades, and I have never seen you be so good at negotiating..."
"Hey, it seems that I am indeed old," Uncle Ming said with a sad expression.
The smile on the fat man's face suddenly became as bright as a flower, "Uncle Ming, I'm embarrassed by what you said..."
The fat man said a few polite words proudly.
So far.
Negotiate the remuneration matter.
----------------
"Now that the remuneration has been agreed upon," Uncle Ming changed the subject after chatting with the fat man for a while, "Boss Wang, let's talk about the specific cooperation."
Fatty: "Okay...but I only know how to negotiate remuneration. How to cooperate specifically depends on Lao Hu."
In response to Uncle Ming like this, the fat man turned to look at Hu Bayi, "Old Hu, it's your turn."
"Well," Hu Bayi responded, and then he said seriously to Uncle Chao Ming, "Our current plan is that in addition to Big Gold Tooth, the four of us, Fatty, Old Ding, and Miss Yang, will go to Tibet.
…..”
"Lao Ding and I will take the train there tomorrow..."
Hu Bayi briefly explained the plan.
After finishing speaking, he asked Uncle Ming, "Do you think there is any problem?"
Uncle Ming immediately shook his head, "No problem, very good... With the help of you four bosses, I believe that our trip will be successful and smooth."
Hu Bayi smiled faintly, "I hope so. Uncle Ming, how many people do you plan to send there?"
"There is something I need to declare first."
"After arriving in Tibet, considering everyone's life safety, I hope that Uncle Ming will tell your people not to mess around and follow us... After all, your people don't have as much experience in this area as we do.
"
"Uncle Ming, I speak frankly, I hope you don't mind."
Uncle Ming shook his head cheerfully, "I don't mind, I don't mind... Even if you don't tell me, Boss Hu, we will follow you honestly. You can rest assured about this."
When Hu Ba heard this, his brows moved: "Uncle Ming, why should I listen to you and you want to go to the hiding place?"
Uncle Ming smiled, "Of course, for such a big deal, I won't go to the jail in person, and the money will have to be taken away by others... Boss Hu, don't think too much, I'm not worried about you."
"I mainly want to do it myself and earn my hard-earned money so that I can eat sweet things."
"You don't have to worry about my physical condition. I have been running a boat for more than 20 years. Although I am now over 50 years old, my body is still very healthy."
Hu Bayi was speechless for a while and frowned slightly.
He was speechless for a few seconds.
"Uncle Ming, I don't think you really need to go..."
"You've never been to the hiding place, so maybe you don't know much about it."
"That place is extremely cold and hypoxic, and the natural conditions are extremely harsh..."
"Especially over the snow-capped mountains, it is inaccessible and there are no normal roads at all...The bad situation is simply appalling...Don't talk about you, even young people living there may not be able to survive...
.”
Hu Bayi said, "Come on, come on."
Unfortunately, the persuasion was fruitless.
Uncle Ming insisted on going.
Seeing that nothing he said worked, Hu Ba felt helpless. After thinking about it, he sighed and was too lazy to say anything more, "Since Uncle Ming has made up his mind, I won't say anything."
"Then how many people will come to your side?"
Uncle Ming thought about it for a moment, "It happens to be four people, me, my bodyguard Peter Huang, and my wife Han Shuna in mainland China... She is an expert in antiques."
"Plus my goddaughter and right-hand assistant, Axiang."
As soon as these words came out.
Hu Bayi's brows instantly wrinkled, then his eyes moved and he looked at Shirley Yang, Fatty, Ding Ze, and Da Jinya one after another.
Shirley Yang shrugged helplessly and said nothing.
The fat man bared his teeth and smiled, but said nothing.
Ding Ze looked calm and said nothing.
Big Gold Teeth bared his teeth, but also remained silent.
Seeing the reactions of the four people, Hu Bayi withdrew his gaze and looked at Uncle Ming again. After a moment of confusion, he still couldn't hold it back and said.
"Uncle Ming, we are not going on vacation this time... You are a bodyguard, a wife, and a goddaughter... To put it bluntly, isn't this nonsense..."
Uncle Ming smiled lightly and said, "Boss Hu, I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I am sensible and am not messing around."
"My bodyguard Peter Huang is not an ordinary bodyguard... He is of Cambodian origin. He used to fight guerrilla warfare with the Vietcong for several years. Later, he moved from the Golden Triangle to Malacca and became a pirate. In the end, he was shipwrecked and was killed by me.
I happened to save him... He is a good hand and can definitely help."
"My wife, Han Shuna, is very knowledgeable in antiques... She can help us identify the antiques and maximize our income as much as possible... It is necessary for her to go with us."
"As for my goddaughter Axiang... Axiang has a very powerful ability. She can detect unclean things immediately... Her ability will have a great impact on our operation this time.
The advantage...so we must go together."
Uncle Ming explained.
After listening.
Hu Bayi was immediately curious and asked, "Does this Axiang still have this kind of ability? What's going on? Does she have yin and yang eyes, or has she opened her third eye? Is it convenient to tell me?"
