Chapter 31 Seeing the Money Opens Your Eyes
"This ......"
Xu Jianshu listened to his younger brother's words and felt that this was really possible, and he was a little depressed for a while, but he immediately reacted, isn't Meng Zitao a person in the industry?
Xu Jianshu smiled and said, "Xiao Tao, can you sell these two things? We don't want more, you only need 65,000 to sell them." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Brother Jianshu, aren't you sending me money like this? ”
Xu Jianfang said with a smile: "What does it cost to send money, this is called channel fee, and you deserve it." ”
That box, Meng Zitao must have wanted to buy it, he thought about it, and said: "Otherwise, I won't make any money, and I will pay 70,000 yuan for these two things." ”
Xu Jianfang frowned when he heard this: "Xiao Tao, it's too obvious for you to do this, right?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Brother Jianfang, to be honest, it is indeed difficult for these two things to be sold at the price of 70,000 yuan when they are sold in the antique market, but who told me to like it? ”
In fact, he bought it at the original price because of the thing hidden in the box. Although the item was only worth two thousand, it was likely that there was some very important clue left on the thing, otherwise it would be hard for him to imagine that the original owner of the box would do such a boring thing.
In this case, of course Meng Zitao didn't want to take advantage of his relatives, otherwise even if only he knew about it, he would be unhappy in his heart. He is such a person, relatives and friends can treat him badly, but he can't take advantage of them with peace of mind, otherwise he won't be able to save face. Perhaps, this is to die to save face and suffer sin.
Of course, if the guess is wrong, it doesn't matter, that thing is taken as his profit.
Xu Jianfang shook his head and said, "No, if it is sold to you at the original price, then if it is spread out, where will we put our face?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Brother Jianfang, I brought this matter up, what does it have to do with your face?"
Xu Jianfang shook his head, still not agreeing.
Meng Zitao said: "Otherwise, let's go back and ask my aunt's opinion, this thing is also hers, and she must be in charge." ”
Xu Jianfang opened his mouth, originally he wanted to say that he could make the decision without asking, but thinking of his mother's temper, if he made his own decisions about this matter, he might regret it.
The car stopped at the door of her grandmother's house, and as soon as the three of them got out of the car, Luo Zhuyue stepped forward and asked, "How is it, how is it? Have you got the money back?"
Xu Jianshu patted the box on his hand: "Mom, let's talk about this when we go into the house." ”
Luo Zhuyue's face was happy, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, let's go home." ”
When she returned home, Luo Zhuyue closed the door, and then, Xu Shufang took a sip of tea and told everyone what had happened.
Luo Zhuyue listened and bowed with her palms folded: "It's okay, it's okay, God bless, I finally didn't lose money." ”
Xu Xingguo was also very happy, but thinking of this thrill, he still glared at Luo Zhuyue: "In the future, all the passbooks at home will be placed here with me!"
Luo Zhuyue jumped up when she heard this: "Why, I still made money this time!"
Xu Xingguo reprimanded angrily: "Phew! You are embarrassed to say, if it weren't for Jianfang and Xiaotao, you would have asked for this money back! I don't think you have a long memory at all, let me tell you, if you don't agree, you have to agree, otherwise you can try!"
Xu Xingguo is an honest man, but an honest man is even more terrible when he gets angry, just because of the momentum, people feel scared when they look at it.
Luo Zhuyue looked at her husband's fierce and vicious appearance, and no longer had the arrogance of the past, snorted, turned her head, and came out of sight.
So, everyone was persuaded again, Xu Jianfang immediately changed the topic, talked about the factors about the price of antiques, and said: "Mom, Xiao Tao said that he bought it for 70,000 yuan, I think this is a little inappropriate, no matter how we do, don't let Xiao Tao make some money, and you can't let him pay it, don't you say?"
Luo Zhuyue immediately took over and said: "We are all laymen, Xiao Tao is an insider, let's do whatever he says." But then again, Xiao Tao, do you think these two things can be a little more expensive?"
Luo Zhuyue's words suddenly made the room silent. Meng Zitao was even more depressed, his aunt clearly didn't believe the price he gave. Originally, I didn't want to make my relatives cheap, so I was kind enough to buy it at the original price, but I didn't expect it to get this result, and I felt very aggrieved when I thought about it.
Therefore, some people really can't be too good to him, otherwise it is completely possible to have the heart of a villain and live the heart of a gentleman.
As I said before, Meng Zitao doesn't want to take advantage of his relatives, so he just gives 72,000, let alone 72,000, even if it is a few thousand more, Mencius Tao can also give it, but in that case, what will others think?
Others will definitely think, why did Meng Zitao give it higher than the market price, is it more than 70,000 yuan for these two things, is there something greasy in it, there must be a few people who want to think so. This is also the reason for overdoing it.
But no matter what, Meng Zitao didn't expect that his aunt would actually see that her eyes on money had reached this point, as long as it was related to money, she didn't trust it at all.
Meng Zitao thought with some annoyance in his heart, he had known this, he just said that these two things were only worth 50,000. Of course, this kind of thing is just thinking about it, and he definitely can't do it.
Halfway through, Xu Xingguo roared from his mouth: "What are all the things in your head!" Xiao Tao is already enough to help today, and he is willing to buy things at the original price, you still say that, you still have to be ashamed!"
Luo Zhuyue looked at the whole family's face and didn't look good, laughed dryly, and said, "Isn't it that I don't understand?"
Meng Zitao sighed in his heart: "Auntie, what do you think of this, you take your things to the antique shop in the city to ask the price, and then you call me again, how about it?"
Luo Zhuyue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Xiaotao, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." ”
"Hey, what do you mean by that?" At this moment, the thought popped up in everyone's hearts.
Luo Zhuyue vaguely felt the disdain in everyone's eyes, especially the attitude of her husband and son, which made her embarrassed and angry, and said in her heart: "Why am I doing this, isn't it for the sake of a more comfortable family? Besides, who knows if Meng Zitao is a ghost or not? Could it be that his heart is so good?"
After complaining a few words in her heart, a thought rose in Luo Zhuyue's mind, and she asked, "Xiao Tao, how much can each of these two things be worth?"
Meng Zitao pointed to the box and jade one after another: "This is worth 30,000, and this is worth 40,000." ”
Luo Zhuyue thought for a while and said, "Xiao Tao, I won't tell you, I also like this fawn, and I think it's not bad to be an heirloom, or you just take this box, what do you think?"
Luo Zhuyue's idea is actually very simple, that is, she wants to use jade to explore the price, if it is really like what Meng Zitao said, she will sell the jade to Meng Zitao again, if not, then don't blame her for being polite.
Although Meng Zitao was speechless in his heart, this was exactly what he meant, so he preemptively said: "Okay, then so be it! I'll go and get the money for you in a while." ”
Luo Zhuyue smiled and waved her hand: "Hey, don't be in such a hurry, you can just transfer it to the bank card at that time." ”
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll call you the money when I go back......"
Due to Luo Zhuyue's relationship, the atmosphere at home was a little dull, and Xu Ping was even more uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't sit for a while, and then asked for her farewell on the grounds that Meng Shuliang was the only one in the family who wanted to go back early.
On the way home, Xu Xingguo scolded angrily: "You are simply in the eyes of money, Xiao Tao has seen it since he was a child, what kind of person he is, don't you know!"
Luo Zhuyue defended: "It's not that we live together, we only see each other a few times a year, who knows what it will become?"
"You just use strong words, with your temperament, sooner or later you will offend all your relatives. Xu Xingguo brushed his sleeves away.
Luo Zhuyue snorted coldly: "I'm going to see how good your nephew is tomorrow!"
The next day, Luo Zhuyue and Xu Xingguo took a car to the city early in the morning, but they went to several antique shops, and Zheng Yixuan, who had the highest price, only gave 32,000.
On the one hand, it is a bully, and on the other hand, most of the people who can open an antique shop have a very vicious vision, how can they not see that Luo Zhuyue is just to inquire about the price, so of course the price is low.
What Meng Zitao didn't expect was that this only increased Luo Zhuyue's doubts, thinking that Meng Zitao must have something to hide from her, otherwise why would he give such a high price?
At that moment, she even had the idea of asking Meng Zitao to get the box back, but she was resolutely stopped by Xu Xingguo, and scolded a bloody dog.
In fact, at that time, Meng Zitao had already taken out the contents of the box, even if Luo Zhuyue went to ask for the box back, it didn't matter.
The words were divided into two ends, Xu Ping and Meng Zitao went home, Xu Ping told Meng Shuliang about today's events, and in the end, she complained about Meng Zitao: "You have a lot of money, it's good, why do you want to buy things at the original price?"
Of course, Meng Zitao couldn't tell the truth, he touched his nose and said, "It's not that my uncle borrowed money to help us, why do I have to repay the favor?" Besides, I didn't get to see my aunt become like this now. ”
Meng Shuliang nodded and said: "You should do this, as for your aunt, don't talk about it, no matter what, it's your elder." ”
Xu Ping sneered: "Her two eyes have turned into copper coins, how can she still look like an elder?"
Meng Shuliang waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't say a word." Let's just have a clear conscience. ”
Meng Zitao nodded, he also thought the same.
