Chapter 16: Bargaining
The Zhou family showed great enthusiasm for Zhang Chi's arrival, but Zhang Daxian was like a mirror in his heart, and the polite enthusiasm of the people was not aimed at him, it was all for the sake of the demolition house, and he and Zhou Liangmin were invited to dinner for the first time in these years.
Zhang Chi didn't say anything polite to the Zhou family, he shook off his cheeks and should eat and drink, eat and drink, and a pair of eyes began to scan the Zhou family's two-bedroom house like a radar.
Although it is a building, because it is an old community, the total is less than 50 square meters, and the age of the house is close to 20 years, and the structural design concept is very backward.
Zhou Liangmin lives in a large south-facing room, which his parents exchanged with their son in order to facilitate his study, and now the two live in the north house of less than nine square meters.
Zhou Liangmin also has an older sister, who is studying in a university in the provincial capital, and only comes back during the holidays every year, when she comes back, she can only deal with it on the sofa in the living room, all to make way for Zhou Liangmin, who is about to take the college entrance examination.
Zhang Chi also has a bottom in his heart, the conditions of the Zhou family are very ordinary, such families often expect their children to change their fate through study, Zhou Liangmin's sister Zhou Liangting has been successfully admitted to the Provincial Medical University, and now it is Zhou Liangmin's turn.
It shouldn't be difficult to get into a book with Zhou Liangmin's current grades, but his goal is even more ambitious, and he wants to enter Mizuki, a top university in China.
The main reason for him to set this goal was Lin Daiyu, because he knew that Lin Daiyu chose Mizuki, and he wanted to realize his desire to enter the same university as Lin Daiyu in this way.
After eating, Zhou Liangmin explained to Zhang Chi that he was going to a nearby cram school to take classes, and Zhang Chi also understood this, and people have pursuits and know that hard work is always good.
After Zhou Liangmin left, his mother enthusiastically made a cup of jasmine for Zhang Chi, and Zhou's father took out the printed agreement with some reserve: "Zhang Chi, look at it! If there is no problem, we will sign the agreement." ”
They didn't have much of a good impression of this little fat man before, and even they privately told their son to have less contact with this backward student, so as not to delay his studies.
Zhang Chi picked up the agreement and glanced at it, and when he saw the amount of the agreement, he paid attention to it, it said that the handling fee was 40,000, plus the 60,000 yuan of demolition compensation that he should have received, a total of 100,000, because the demolition compensation will be directly deducted from the house price in the future, so this money is to be given directly to Zhang Chi.
The agreement also emphasized that after signing, if he repents, he will have to pay three times the compensation, that is, he will compensate his family 300,000 yuan.
Zhang Chi was a little unhappy when he saw this, although he understood the Zhou family's worries, but he was a little more ruthless in this repentance compensation, he had to know that he and Zhou Liangmin were classmates, and he also asked for 10,000 yuan less in this situation, why did the Zhou family not trust themselves so much?
Father Zhou seemed to sense Zhang Chi's displeasure, coughed and smiled: "The standard contract, it's all written like that, in fact, I don't think there is even a need for an agreement, we watched you grow up, what kind of child are you, we don't know yet?"
Zhou's mother followed: "Yes, yes! Xiao Chi is so loyal and honest, how can he regret it, Old Zhou, I just said that there is no need to be so troublesome." ”
Zhang Chi laughed: "Since uncles and aunts are troublesome, then don't sign it, call me the money, and the house will belong to you." ”
The two of them panicked when they heard it.
"That's not ......"
"Xiao Chi, love is love, the formalities still have to be obtained, otherwise you don't have a guarantee of whether it is ......"
Zhang Chi looked at the faces of the two of them who suddenly became frightened, and suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart. I have to pretend to be reluctant even if I take advantage of it, and I don't have any protection? Or are you worried that I will change my mind?
Zhang Chi said: "Also, if you don't sign it, if your uncle and aunt regret not buying it one day, won't I have to return the money to you?"
Father Zhou smiled: "No, no." "It's so cheap, I won't buy it unless I have a brain pump.
Zhang Chi said: "This agreement only says that I will pay three times if I regret not selling, but it doesn't say how much you regret not buying and paying me?"
Father Zhou said in a serious way: "Is there one?" I was a little depressed in my heart, didn't my son often say that this child was not bright-headed? Why did he feel that he had a lot of eyes? Why is such a young child so a philistine? Compared with him, our children are too simple.
Zhou's mother said: "Negligence, negligence, we will add, if we regret it...... How much do you say to pay?" she is not afraid of compensation, anyway, this demolition quota is a good thing for pie in the sky, not to mention that it is 10,000 yuan cheaper than outside, so a fool will regret it.
Zhang Chi's eyes were fixed on Zhou's mother's wrist, Zhou's mother was wearing a jade bracelet on her hand, the color was average, glutinous rice, and because it had been broken, the broken part was inlaid with two pieces of gold, which was even less valuable.
Zhang Chi paid attention not to the bracelet itself, but to the gold-inlaid part of the bracelet, he always felt that the two gold-inlaid places were a little special, dull, and not pure enough, but Zhang Daxian keenly felt the breath of pure gold.
Mother Zhou saw the little fat man staring at her wrist, and subconsciously retracted her hand. This kid, don't understand the rules of indecency?
Zhang Chi's next words startled the two of them: "Auntie, give me this bracelet." ”
The hearts of the two of them are on fire, why is this kid so thick-skinned, saying good things, why did he suddenly increase the price again. Zhou's mother touched her bracelet, in fact, this bracelet is not much money, she went to the cultural market to inquire about the price, the sky is only a thousand yuan, if the quality is intact, it can be sold more, but this bracelet is meaningful.
Zhou's mother said: "Xiao Chi, this bracelet was given to me by your Uncle Zhou's grandmother when I married your Uncle Zhou." ”
She didn't lie, this bracelet was like this at the time, and it has been worn until now, and it is not worth a few dollars.
Father Zhou said in his heart that this kid must have heard the wind outside, and knew that the transfer fee was now 70,000 yuan, and he felt that 40,000 yuan was a loss to them, so he sat on the ground and raised the price, and his face became a little unsightly: "Xiao Chi, we agreed on the price in advance, shouldn't you regret it again?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "That's not it, how can you change what you say is good, but I think I like this bracelet a lot." ”
Mother Zhou secretly glanced at her husband, after all, they took advantage, if they provoked this kid, they really regretted not selling, wouldn't they be in trouble, she smiled: "Xiao Chi, this bracelet is not worth anything, otherwise, we will add a transfer fee of 1,000 or 40,000 to you on the original basis, can you see it?"
Zhang Chi said: "Thirty-eight, give me the bracelet." ”
The two of them were stunned when they heard this, this bracelet is indeed not worth two thousand, but the more Zhang Chi wants it, the more they muttered in their hearts, could it be that this bracelet is really a treasure?
Father Zhou said: "Forty-two thousand, let's get a price." ”
"Bracelets included?"
Dad Zhou really couldn't cry or laugh, I added two thousand to you and gave you the bracelet, you and I were as stupid as you, he shook his head and said firmly: "Not included!"
"Thirty-five thousand with bracelets, otherwise I won't sign this agreement. "This article is a bracelet that I really want.
The two of them glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this child is really not smart, and he will stick to the things he sees to the end. 5,000! Not a small amount, this bracelet can be sold for a maximum of 1,000 yuan in the cultural entertainment market.
Father Zhou's psychology was loosened, and he understood what she meant from his wife's gaze, and pretended to be embarrassed: "Thirty thousand with bracelets!"
Zhang Chi behaved very happily: "Deal!" Knowing that Dad Zhou had the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but Zhang Daxian didn't care, how could a mortal person's eyesight understand his broad mind, according to what the language book said, it was called Yanque Anzhi Honghu's ambition!
Zhou's mother immediately wanted to take off the bracelet, but because of her middle-aged fortune, her wrists were a little thick, and it was impossible to take them off, so she could only go to the bathroom to lubricate them with some soap.
Zhou's father was worried that Zhang Chi would change his hexagram, so he persuaded Zhang Chi to sign the redrafted agreement while the iron was hot.
Zhang Chi had just signed his name and was about to press his handprint, when he heard a scream from the bathroom, mixed with a crisp cracking sound.
Dad Zhou moved like a rabbit, rushed out with one arrow step, rushed into the bathroom like a flash, saw the jade bracelet broken into several pieces on the ground, and then saw the ruined girls who wanted to cry without tears, and his heart surged upward.
