Chapter 1536 Selling White Mink Fur
Just when he got the "wait and get rich" and "money quilt", a windfall came, which stunned Wen Hongchang.
Wen Hongchang's momentary high spirits made him reveal his true colors, and he was caught by Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai who were eager to take credit.
The large steamed dumplings stuffed with donkey meat that had just been served were steaming hot. When you bit into the thin and chewy dough, a stream of soup spilled into the bowl, and oil droplets immediately floated on the soy sauce and vinegar.
Zhao Jun was eating dumplings calmly, while Li Baoyu, Jie Chen, Zhao Weipeng, Zhao Jinhui, Wen Ming and Zhang Shaoqiang were staring blankly at the verbal battle between Zhang Yuanmin, Li Ruhai and Wen Hongchang.
"We can't ask for an exorbitant price, can we?" After asking and negotiating the price, Wen Hongchang slammed the table, glared at Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai and said, "I'll give you the market price, isn't that enough?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanmin squinted his eyes and kept silent. Zhang Yuanmin was an honest man, and the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce was not a black shop, so it would not take advantage of the situation to rob.
"Boss Wen, please don't lie to us." Li Ruhai said, "I found out that if you want to sell the white leather in the fur market, you have to go to the fifth floor."
At this point, Li Ruhai turned to look at Zhang Shaoqiang and asked, "Mr. Zhang, the hides on our fifth floor are special, and there is no market price estimate. It's a matter of willingness to fight and willingness to be beaten, right?"
Hearing Li Ruhai's words, Zhao Jun, who was eating dumplings, raised his head and glanced at the child. Unexpectedly, Li Ruhai was very attentive. When asking people about the leopard skin, he also found out some other useful information.
At this time, Zhang Shaoqiang did not answer Li Ruhai's question, but looked at Wen Hongchang with a bitter smile, and said: "You bought the quilt worth two hundred thousand without bargaining. What are you still hesitating about? Buy those three mink skins quickly and go back to make your coat. Isn't that better than anything else?"
"Who are you in league with?" Wen Hongchang said to Zhang Shaoqiang in a bad mood, then turned to look at Zhao Weipeng and said, "Old Zhao, please judge for me. Last time when I was at your house, I bought two white mink skins from Zhao Jun. Was it 18,000 yuan?"
"Yes." Zhao Weipeng responded, and Wen Ming nodded. Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai were stunned, wondering why Uncle Zhao was speaking for Wen Hongchang again.
"Then look!" After receiving Zhao Weipeng's response, Wen Hongchang pointed at Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai and said, "For these three pieces of skin today, they asked me for 100,000 yuan. Is that reasonable?"
Hearing Wen Hongchang's accusations, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai looked at each other and then turned their heads away.
The 100,000 yuan they had just mentioned was a tacit agreement. But Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai did not respect each other, but regarded each other as rivals.
"I haven't forgotten." Zhao Weipeng said with a smile: "Did you have dinner at my house that day? When we were drinking, you and Zhao Jun negotiated 18,000. After you agreed, didn't Zhao Jun ask you?"
"What did you ask me?" Wen Hongchang was confused, and then he heard Zhao Weipeng say, "You said at the time that after buying those two, you still needed two more male ones to make a coat. Then Zhao Jun asked you that he would give you two more next time he came, so did you have to pay 80,000?"
"I..." Wen Hongchang almost couldn't breathe. He stared at Zhao Weipeng with wide eyes and said, "Isn't that a joke?"
"Who told you I was joking?" Zhao Weipeng waved his fat hand, then looked at Li Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, bring those three leathers to me. One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, I'll buy them!"
"Ah?" Wen Hongchang was stunned, looked at Zhao Weipeng in surprise, and asked: "Old Zhao, why did you buy it? Can you make a coat?"
"I don't want the coat." Zhao Weipeng said with a smile: "I'll buy it and exchange it with you for the small gold quilt."
"I..." Wen Hongchang felt a tightness in his chest. The white mink coat was the result of his four years of hard work. It was impossible for him to give up such a rare item that could earn him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For Wen Hongchang, the little money quilt was his life. As soon as he got it and put it on, he turned into a mink coat. In Wen Hongchang's opinion, this thing brought him great fortune, and it was indeed "a lifetime of wealth and prosperity".
Neither the mink coat nor the golden quilt could be parted with. Wen Hongchang had no choice but to stop Zhao Weipeng and said, "Old Zhao, you can't do this. How can you do this?"
Zhao Jun smiled when he saw this and winked at Li Baoyu, who then retreated with the three leather scrolls.
Zhao Weipeng also smiled, leaned back in his chair and stopped talking.
"One hundred thousand is definitely not enough." Wen Hongchang waved his hand and said, "I won't buy yours today, but I can catch up slowly."
"Then you definitely won't be able to catch it this year." Wen Hongchang had just finished speaking when Zhang Yuanmin laughed and said, "The day after tomorrow is March 3st. The snow is about to thaw in our area, not to mention Jilin and Liaoning provinces. If you can't get the trap down by the time it starts to thaw, who will be able to catch the marten for you?"
"That's right!" Zhang Yuanmin said, and Li Ruhai immediately followed up, saying, "If you wait another year, it won't snow next year. If you don't do it right, you won't be able to catch up with it by this time next year."
Wen Hongchang was speechless. What these two people said really made sense. Sables were very rare. In addition to the three northeastern provinces in China, some people said that sables could also be found in the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang.
But Wen Hongchang has been buying mink skins for many years, and all of them are from the Northeast. In the entire fur market, I have never heard of anyone whose mink skins are from XJ.
Just as Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai said, the civilization was about to begin, and the old skills of the mountain herders in the Northeast were no longer effective for sables, so there were no sable furs to collect.
"One hundred thousand yuan is definitely not enough!" Wen Hongchang suddenly became tough and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll just wait. When I collect it, I'll make clothes. There's nothing I can do. Your price is too high. I can't buy it."
He didn't say anything final, just that 100,000 yuan wasn't enough, so Zhang Yuanmin raised the price to 98,000 yuan.
In the next half hour, Wen Hongchang fought one against two and engaged in rounds of negotiations with Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai.
Finally, Wen Hongchang insisted on 50,000 yuan, saying that it was already a lot. Li Ruhai's lowest price was 80,000 yuan. According to Li Ruhai, his elder brother's words were golden. Since Zhao Jun had said 80,000 yuan last time, then let's set it at 80,000 yuan.
Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen agreed with Li Ruhai's statement.
But in this case, the price gap between the two parties is quite large, and it is difficult to reach a consensus.
"Brother Jun!" At this moment, Wen Ming suddenly spoke to Zhao Jun and said, "Look, now the situation has become so tense, why don't you say something?"
Hearing Ming's words, Wen Hongchang was startled. Of course, why was he arguing with two followers?
"Haha." Zhao Jun smiled faintly and said to Wen Ming: "Brother, the price difference is quite big."
"Brother." Wen Ming said to Zhao Jun in a humble tone, "We have bought a lot of things from you today, and fifty thousand is not a small price. My dad bought thirty white mink skins, and the most expensive ones were the two you bought last time for eighteen thousand. They were not so expensive before, so fifty thousand is enough."
Wen Ming said these things, and only the first sentence touched Zhao Jun's heart. Wen Hongchang spent a lot today, the leopard skin and leopard skin quilt totaled 230,000 yuan, and he didn't even bargain.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun looked at Zhang Yuanmin and others and said, "Brother, Ruhai, I'll take care of this matter, okay?"
"Brother, you have the final say." Zhang Yuanmin said so, and Li Ruhai also said: "Brother, whatever you say is what counts."
Hearing what they said, Zhao Jun raised his hand to Wen Hongchang and said, "Uncle Wen, add another ten thousand yuan, sixty thousand yuan, and you can take these three skins."
Wen Hongchang seemed to want to say something when he heard this, but Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, my elder brother and my brothers have been bargaining with you for so long, and you still won't give in even after the price has been reduced to 80,000.
I'll bargain for 20,000 yuan, which is 10,000 yuan more than what you offered. This is to give an explanation to my two brothers. Anyway, this is my bottom line. If you can agree with it, you can take it. "
"Alas!" After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wen Hongchang sighed and said, "Zhao Jun, I understand. You brought your two brothers with you this time just to bargain with me, right?"
"Haha..." Zhao Jun laughed, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai also looked very proud.
Wen Hongchang looked at the two men again. One was short and plain-looking, while the other wore a Zhongshan suit with a cotton jacket, which was not appropriate. Neither of them looked like serious people, but one was eloquent and the other was well-organized and well-informed. They were both talented!
"Sixty thousand is sixty thousand." Although Wen Hongchang felt a little pain, he was still confident. Because once the mink fur was made into clothes, the money would be doubled back!
Wen Hongchang stood up, looked around the table, and asked, "Have we all eaten and drunk enough?"
Zhao Jun and Zhao Weipeng both said they had eaten well, but Zhang Shaoqiang said to Wen Hongchang, "You were the only one who didn't eat much afterwards."
"I'm fine." Wen Hongchang waved his hand at Wen Ming as he spoke, "Go, son, go pay the bill!"
Wen Ming agreed, got up and walked out of the private room.
At this time, Zhang Shaoqiang saw Wen Hongchang carefully folding the leopard skin quilt, and said, "Look at you, you spent 200,000 yuan to buy this, and you didn't talk about a penny."
"This is not negotiable." Wen Hongchang said to Zhang Shaoqiang, "This is to bring wealth, just like the God of Wealth coming to your door. Can you still bargain?"
Wen Hongchang said one sentence, and Zhang Shaoqiang was silent. After folding the quilt and the leopard skin, under Zhao Weipeng's envious and regretful eyes, Wen Hongchang put the two things in his arms and asked everyone to leave.
When they left, Zhao Jun, Zhao Weipeng, Wen Hongchang, Wen Ming and Zhang Shaoqiang still rode in the same car.
When passing the back street of the fur market, Zhang Shaoqiang asked Zhao Weipeng to turn the car inside.
There is a post office here, and Wen Hongchang wants to use the post office's phone number to find someone to raise money.
When the car turned inward, they saw a large truck from the post office parked sideways in front of them, so Zhao Weipeng and Li Baoyu both stopped the car at the intersection.
Ten people got off the bus and walked inside under the leadership of Zhang Shaoqiang. After entering the post office, they borrowed a phone from someone.
"Zhao Jun." Wen Hongchang said to Zhao Jun before he called, "I need to make six to eight calls to get the money together for you. Don't worry, wait for me for half an hour."
"Don't worry, Uncle Wen, just call." Zhao Jun knew that it was difficult to make phone calls these days. You had to wait a while for the switchboard to connect and the call would be connected.
"Shaoqiang." After talking to Zhao Jun, Wen Hongchang said to Zhang Shaoqiang, "Go back and help me borrow 30,000 yuan."
"Oh, okay." After saying this, Zhang Shaoqiang said hello to Zhao Jun and the others, then went back to the fur market.
Wen Hongchang sat down and made a phone call, while Wen Ming, Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui sat in the room and chatted.
Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin and others were strolling in the post office. About ten minutes later, Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui came out. The father and son found Zhao Jun, and Zhao Weipeng said, "We are going to smoke a cigarette. You can go inside."
"Ah, haha." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this. He understood what Zhao Weipeng meant and said with a smile, "It's okay, uncle."
As he spoke, Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed outside the main entrance of the post office, saying, "There's a teahouse over there. Let's go there to rest for a while and have a drink of water."
"Then you won't keep anyone here?" Zhao Weipeng asked Zhao Jun in a low voice, because the leopard skin and the leopard skin quilt were in Wen Hongchang's arms, and Zhao Weipeng was afraid that the father and son would run away.
Zhao Jun smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's okay, uncle."
As he spoke, Zhao Jun glanced back and said, "This is a large warehouse with no doors or large windows."
"Ah?" Zhao Weipeng followed Zhao Jun out and pointed at the teahouse and said to Zhao Jun: "Let's go in. Did he run out?"
After saying this, Zhao Weipeng added: "I'm not familiar with him."
Zhao Weipeng trusted Zhao Jun and his friends because they had lived together for a period of time. However, he had no relationship with Wen Hongchang and was worried about the treasure worth more than 200,000 yuan.
"No, Dad." Zhao Jinhui said at the side: "My classmate is not that kind of person."
Zhao Weipeng glanced at Zhao Jinhui without saying anything, while Zhao Jun held Zhao Weipeng's thick arm and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, uncle. We have Baoyu, they can't run away."
"Ah?" After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui, father and son, looked at each other, not knowing what Zhao Jun meant.
Zhang Yuanmin and others who were following behind all laughed, and Jie Chen even patted Li Baoyu on the shoulder.
"Ha!" Li Baoyu raised his head and said proudly, "I'm not bragging. As long as I can see his shadow, he can't run away."
Several people entered the teahouse and sat down at a table near the window. This teahouse is next to the fur market and has a large flow of people every day.
Seven people drank tea from big bowls, six of them chatted, and Li Baoyu was left staring at the window.
About thirty minutes later, the Wen father and son had not come out yet, and Zhang Shaoqiang was trotting over here with a bag under his arm.
Li Baoyu knocked on the window. Zhang Shaoqiang heard the noise, turned around and was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Shaoqiang was quite well-connected in this area. As soon as he entered the teahouse, many people greeted him, even the boss came out.
Zhang Shaoqiang said a few words to the boss and then came to meet up with Zhao Jun and his men. As soon as he sat down on the bench, he saw the Wen family father and son coming out of the post office.
After the father and son went out, they looked around but could not see any sign of Zhao Jun's men.
At this time, Li Ruhai went out and shouted, calling Wen Hongchang and Wen Ming over.
The father and son entered the house, sat down and drank a cup of tea. Wen Hongchang then said to Zhao Jun, "Let's go to the bank. I'll get you some money."
"Bank?" Zhang Yuanmin's eyes lit up and he said, "I've seen it on TV!"
"There is no bank near my home." Li Baoyu said so, and Xie Chen continued: "Is the credit union considered a bank?"
No one answered Xie Chen's words, and Li Ruhai said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, I really learned a lot by following you!"
The four people's inexperienced looks instantly attracted the attention of the people around them.
There is one more chapter to make up for that day, which will be published later. Brothers, please go to bed if you are tired, and read it tomorrow morning
