Return to Splendid

Yang Linxiang chuckled: "Actually, I know very well. If he doesn't want to sell, it's impossible for him to go all the way to deliver it and go back like this. When he slowly stands up, I will say, you can take this trip It’s not easy either. If you don’t sell the stone and carry it back heavily, your family may see it and think you don’t know how to do business. Who would be willing to spend thousands of dollars on a stone if it wasn’t because they need to make a medicine introduction? Buy it. He stopped. Since you really want to buy it, then pay back the price.

"I thought for a moment and replied, I'll give you a thousand and a half. He also thought about it and said I don't want ten thousand, eight thousand. I shook my head and said, the money is spent on my old father. It should be more, but the key point is that I really don’t have that much money. He said, it depends on you being a filial son. I will drop another thousand, and I can’t give in anymore. I said it’s not enough, I can’t afford this much. He asked, always If I keep giving in, you have to pay back the price. I have guessed his mentality, but I still shake my head. Finally, he said, forget it, five thousand, it can’t be lowered any more."

Xing Yi couldn't help it anymore, interrupted him and said: "Yang Linxiang, you are very good at bargaining. For this reason, you gave up half of the money. What else do you want? Why don't you agree?"

"You're right. At this point, it's unreasonable to force him to give in. I've settled on this, and I don't know if it's expensive or not."

"It's not expensive, not expensive at all. This stone is worth the price."

"I feel relieved when you say this."

"But……"

"Don't panic, I know what you want to ask me, and I'll tell you right now, I didn't give him five thousand at a time."

"How did you trick others?"

"I only have two thousand with me, and I still have the lottery prize."

"That's your money, how can you mess with it? Just call me."

"If you can get through on the phone, I won't be so arbitrary in making decisions for you. I only gave him two thousand, and the other three thousand, as I said, I still have an income, and I will get it in half a month. I would give it to him. He frowned and sighed again, saying that if it weren’t for treating your old father, I really wouldn’t want to sell it. I said, you have done a great thing. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. .”

"It's not a pagoda. This sentence should be read like this. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

"Yes, after saving someone's life, there is no need to care about or ask for repayment, that's what it means."

"That's even more wrong. That's not what it means. You should read the word clearly first. It's a pagoda, a floating pagoda, a slaughterhouse. A pagoda is a tower, and a seven-level pagoda is a seven-level pagoda. You should understand this."

"Hey, you have knowledge. You can make up any story you want. The more bizarre the story, the better."

"No, this is a Chinese idiom, which means building a tower for the dead. After all, it is not as good as saving someone's life. It is more meritorious and more meaningful."

"Okay, okay, I understand what you said. He said, I have made enough concessions. I hope you will be honest. You said within half a month, then the money will be ready. Deliver it to me. Just like that, he left an address, put down the stone, took the 2000 yuan and left."

Then he took out a piece of paper with the address and phone number on it, handed it to Xing Yi, and said, "You can figure out a solution for the 3000 yuan yourself."

Xing Yi said: "Are you busy with money?"

"Don't be busy. I know what you mean. I'm not in a hurry to get the 2000 yuan. I'll just keep it with you. After March and May, if I can use it, I'll come back to you to get it."

Xing Yi took the stone back to the hotel, wrapped it in a sack, and put it under the bed. He met with Wei Zhenghai in the evening and offered to borrow 3000 yuan from him for urgent needs. In order to leave some room, he explained that it would take three months. return.

Wei Zhenghai said: "You are lucky. I have 5000 yuan, which I will deposit in the bank tomorrow. If you need it, I will give it to you first."

Xing Yi said: "When the time comes, I will calculate the bank interest and return it to you together with the principal."

Wei Zhenghai said: "It's my fault that I can't speak. Why are you talking about the bank? If you want to give me interest, wouldn't I become an exploiting capitalist?"

Xing Yi said: "I don't want interest, so I can only give you two words, thank you."

A burst of laughter.

The next day, Xing Yi and Yang Linxiang took a farm bus to a certain village in a certain township. On the way, they told Yang Linxiang, you know, this stone as a medicine introduction is just a gimmick of my original work. I want to tell you the truth now, in fact, it has great uses. . "

Yang Linxiang said: "Yeah, if you don't tell me, I'm thinking, why do you need so many medicinal primers? It's only one or two tablespoons at most. If you spend thousands of dollars to buy a stone weighing dozens of kilograms, there must be something else." use."

Xing Yi further told Yang Linxiang: "In the world of strange stones, this bloodstone has a good reputation, and many people appreciate it. Once you take a fancy to it, you are willing to pay a high price, and send this stone to the province to participate in an exhibition. Once it is awarded a prize, Someone might offer 20 to [-] yuan.”

Yang Linxiang listened carefully and thought carefully. Ever since he came into contact with Xing Yi, he was different from others in terms of speaking, doing things, and handling problems.I will never forget buying lottery tickets in my life, the whole process was magical.But this time I bought stones and paid a lot of money to hire people to post small advertisements, which also made people feel strange. Now that I have said that I will send them to the exhibition, someone wants to pay 20 to [-].That would be equivalent to this stone suddenly turning into a gold nugget. If this is true, then... Yang Linxiang really doesn't dare to continue thinking about it. Then there will be nothing he can't do.

After entering the village, I asked several people to inquire. They all shook their heads at first. After telling them the facial features of the man with a mole next to his nose, someone remembered and said that this man was not from the village, but was related to the Xue Yuanchun family in Beitou. .

When I came to the north end of the village, I found Xue Yuanchun and asked about this relative. He said: "Yes, my cousin's uncle's uncle has not had contact with him for many years. He came suddenly a few days ago and stayed for one night. I left two days later, saying that there were still people waiting in the countryside and that they were going to inspect some important projects at the junction."

"Will he come back?"

"I don't know. He seems to have a heavy responsibility. He's mysterious."

Xing Yi had no choice but to leave a message to the relative: "If this relative of yours comes again, please tell him that someone named Yang in the city has been here. Find a way to contact him quickly. It is best to go to Jinxiu City. If you have something to meet, ."
