After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

Lin Fan recalled what Huba had told him when he came before.

He said that Hou Yu was greedy and would always ask for an exorbitant amount of money every time he came. He would argue with him for a long time until Hou Yu realized that he could not get any advantage from him before Hou Yu would give in.

Huba was clearly doing the same thing. He wasn't willing to raise the price by even a penny; his bottom line was 500 yuan, and he was determined to get Hou Yu to agree.

As expected, the two of them will continue arguing for a long time, until Hou Yu and Huba lose their patience, and perhaps then things will take a turn for the better.

However, the factory matter was extremely important to Lin Fan, and he couldn't possibly have the patience to wait any longer.

He looked at the two men and frowned, saying, "Sir, five thousand yuan is indeed too much. Even if I wanted to give it to you, I couldn't."

“What you said is true. Since I urgently need this information, I am certainly willing to pay a certain price to buy it. But have you considered that the price is beyond my ability to pay? Even if I still want to buy it, I can't afford the reward. Aren't you wasting your time?”

"Five hundred yuan is not much, but it's definitely not a small amount either. It's at least equivalent to the price of one of your pigs. Please be lenient with me."

Hou Yu glanced at Lin Fan, snorted coldly, and said, "You young man are quite the smooth talker."

"But that's not something I should be considering. That's just how I am. If I can't sell this information for the price it deserves, I'd rather keep it to myself. Are you going to buy it or not? If not, get out of here."

Although Hou Yu kept urging Lin Fan and Huba to leave, he didn't actually intend to force them to leave, which was clearly a negotiation tactic on his part.

Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless and subconsciously rubbed his forehead.

Just as she was about to continue arguing with him, her gaze suddenly fell on an appliance in the room that was flashing a blue light.

Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. He coughed and looked at Hou Yu, saying, "Old sir, how about we make a deal?"

Hou Yu looked at Lin Fan with a sour face and said, "Make a deal? What kind of deal? I have nothing to trade with you."

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Sir, I can fix your broken computer!"

"You must use this computer often, right? You must be very annoyed that it's broken, right? I think you've already taken it to someone for repairs, but it wasn't fixed. If you want to continue using the computer, you'll have to buy a new one yourself, and that price will far exceed five hundred yuan, won't it?"

"I won't take advantage of you. I'll still give you the five hundred yuan, and I'll fix your computer while I'm at it. All you have to do is tell me what I want, okay?"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Huba subconsciously looked towards the corner of Hou Yu's pigsty, at the large, blue-glowing computer on the table, and was momentarily surprised.

On the small screen of the old-fashioned desktop computer, some white English characters were flashing, and it was also emitting a blue light.

Computers are a real rarity these days, and they're extremely expensive.

Don't be fooled by its small size; it costs as much as two motorcycles, and only wealthy people in the county can afford it.

Even some wealthy families don't have this thing. Of course, it's not because it's expensive. Part of the reason is that you need to be able to read and understand some related knowledge to use it. Otherwise, if you buy it, you won't be able to do anything with it, not even surf the internet. It's just a pile of scrap metal.

In this day and age, there are no dating apps or short video platforms like those of later generations, so finding things you're interested in online isn't actually that easy.

Lin Fan never expected that this unassuming old man would actually know how to use a computer.

It has to be said that he is quite good at keeping up with the times. You know, even now, Lin Fan has acquired a lot of things, but he has never thought about buying a computer because it is too expensive and he doesn't need it for the time being.

"Hey, you know about this?"

Hou Yu looked at Lin Fan with some surprise.

These days, you can find a handful of people on the street who have gone to university.

His pile of lumps is much rarer and more unusual than that of college students.

This is actually a second-hand computer. He bought it and studied it for a long time before he could barely use it. He finally got into the swing of things, but for some reason, it turned into this blue screen.

He also took his computer to the International Trade City to find someone to repair it, but most of those people only knew how to repair hardware and were completely clueless about software issues. Some of them claimed to be experts, but after fiddling with it for a long time, they still couldn't figure it out, which gave Hou Yu a huge headache.

This situation is quite normal, after all, in this day and age, not many people have ever seen a computer, let alone are proficient in it or know how to fix it.

"I don't know much, but this computer is more than enough to repair. I wonder if the old man can accept my request?"

Lin Fan looked at Hou Yu with a smile.

Hou Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I want five thousand, but you're only willing to give me five hundred. You want to buy my information for just five hundred yuan to fix my computer? Doesn't that mean you'll charge four thousand five hundred yuan just to fix it? You're even more ruthless than me!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Sir, that's not how it's done. As you said, I urgently need the information you mentioned, so you can ask for an exorbitant price. You also urgently need to fix this computer, so I can ask for an exorbitant price as well."

"Actually, I didn't need to give you this 500 yuan. We could have just exchanged things. You would tell me the information, and I would fix your computer. I'm only giving you this 500 yuan because you know my brother Huba."

"Because I know that even if I don't give you the five hundred yuan, you will still agree to my request, right?"

Hou Yu glanced at Lin Fan in surprise, frowned, and said, "How did you know?"

"It's very simple. You've probably used this computer for quite a while, but I guess you bought it secondhand. Even so, it's been in your possession for quite some time. Now that the computer is broken, you can't just give up and never touch a computer again. You only have two choices: either buy a new one or spend money to repair it."

"You've definitely already tried the second option, otherwise you wouldn't have left it here. As for the first option, I think you're probably struggling with that right now. Maybe if we had come two days later, you would have had a brand new computer in your house."

Hou Yu was somewhat surprised by Lin Fan's ambiguous smile.

He looked at Lin Fan strangely, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You're quite capable, young man. How come you're hanging out with this bastard?"
