Chapter 229: Good Intentions Do Bad Things
As soon as Li Chen entered the door, he was seen by Ye Jingting, who was drinking tea in front of the stone table, and hurriedly stepped forward and took the straw hat in Li Chen's hand, "You're back, the village chief said that there is something good to look for you." ”
"A good thing?" Li Chen frowned and thought about it, it seems that all the things that have come recently are bad, where are the good things: "What good things?"
Ye Jingting said angrily: "How do I know, people said they wanted to tell you personally." ”
Looking at Wu Changliang, who was looking at this side, Li Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask, so you won't know, even if you only tell me, I don't want to tell you!"
"That's pretty much it. Ye Jingting smiled with satisfaction.
……
Li Chen came to the stone table alone and sat down in Ye Jingting's position, thirsty he picked up the tea that Ye Jingting had drunk and poured it down.
Pour a cup of hot tea again, "Is it good for the village chief to find me?"
Wu Changliang had already seen Li Chen's directness, and he was not surprised, but said with a happy face: "It's a good thing, you can get rich!"
Li Chen, who was staring at the tea leaves floating up and down in the cup, raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, "I am rich?
Wu Changliang said excitedly: "You should know the price of your fish, right?"
Without waiting for Li Chen to speak, he continued: "These fish are all worth a lot of money! Let me tell you, if ordinary people really can't afford it." ”
Li Chen's face was full of inexplicability, so he had to signal him to continue.
Wu Changliang picked up the teacup and took a heavy sip, and after putting it down, he said with a smile: "I heard that no one has come to buy a fish yet!"
"Someone asked about the price. Li Chen told the truth.
After a pause, he continued: "It is because these fish are too expensive, and you have exaggerated the publicity, so the rich people regard this as false propaganda, so no rich people will buy it!" If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true!"
Originally, I wanted to say that he didn't want to sell it, not that no one would buy it, but seeing that Wu Changliang still had a later story, he didn't explain, but wanted to see what amazing words he would come up with later.
Listening to what he said earlier, did he want to buy the fish? But the mayor's nephew probably didn't have that much money.
Looking at Li Chen, who was waiting for him to speak, Wu Changliang's voice couldn't help but increase and said, "After I saw the real fish that day, I contacted some big bosses I knew, and guess what?"
"What's the matter?" Li Chen could already guess what was going on, and couldn't help but feel funny, but he still asked him face.
"A lot of them are interested in this, but they don't believe it's true, and after I vouched for it in my name, a few big bosses were willing to come and have a look, and they would be there tomorrow. He said a lot as if he was invited, and he probably didn't think it was shocking enough, so he added: "You must know one of the people who is willing to come over, and that is the richest man in our city - Xu Guoqiang." ”
Li Chen, who heard this, was not only not happy, but frowned, and it was too self-righteous to directly help make such a decision without asking me what I meant!
In addition to being unhappy with Wu Changliang, there is also a sense of difficulty about tomorrow's affairs, you must know that if you can make your business bigger, don't you have considerable wisdom and means? Which one is not greedy? They must see the value of this pond fish better than anyone else, and if it is in their hands, it will definitely be able to create a thousand times the value.
Then, if this can be proved to be true, it is that the evil wolf is eyeing the lamb and will not let it go so easily.
Li Chen said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, Village Chief Wu, you still helped me reject them, thank you for your kindness." ”
When Wu Changliang heard Li Chen's words, his originally happy face suddenly froze, and he asked in disbelief: "Why? Do you still want to leave them in the pond and die of old age? This is hundreds of millions of dollars!"
"It's hard to say the specific reason, but I don't want to sell it for the time being, and someone asked me for the price before and wanted to buy it, but I refused. ”
Li Chen has his own considerations, if he sells it to them, it will be like a fishing net opening a mouth, if there is one, there will be two, there are so many rich people in the world, one gets it, the other does not, then it is he who offends people.
You can't keep cultivating these fish to sell, that fool can know that he has a way to breed top ornamental fish, and he can't tell the matter of aura, and even the personal safety of the whole family is not guaranteed at that time, after all, the crazy rich are terrible.
"But... But they all made an appointment with them. Wu Changliang was also a little dissatisfied, his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he also accompanied his connections.
"I know you mean well, but you don't seem to have made a decision to me without asking, right?" Li Chen shook his head and said, "They haven't come over yet, just explain to them that you don't want to use it, haven't you come here yet?"
Wu Changliang said a little loudly: "They are also characters with heads and faces, I finally invited them over, and I suddenly changed my mind, isn't this a slap in the face!"
"Even my uncle has to give them some face, if it weren't for my uncle's face and interest in the fish, they wouldn't have come. Wu Changliang was a little panicked.
Li Chen thought for a while and said, "You just said that because of the flood some time ago, these fish all had a plague, and most of them have died, and now the fish in the pond can no longer be saved, and you only found out today, so you canceled the agreement." ”
"Will they believe it?" Wu Changliang was at a loss now, and he regretted his impulsiveness a little.
Li Chen looked at the panicked new village chief, a little helpless, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it's good to have an excuse, I won't sell it to them anyway, you can do it yourself." ”
"Why don't you sell it? Wu Changliang still wants to make the last struggle, after all, once he rejects these rich people, it will definitely have a great impact on his future career.
Hearing Wu Changliang's stubbornness, Li Chen was also angry, and said directly without giving face:
"If I sell it to them, then other bigger forces will buy it too, where do I find it to sell to them? Say I don't have their letter? Will my family still have security? I'd rather destroy the fish. ”
"You didn't ask me before you did these things on impulse, did you? And did you think about it thoroughly? Even if you mean well, it's not for your own benefit, right?"
"I know that you have always had ambitions, but ideals are only ideals, and the reality is often bloody, how can people believe that you can lead our village to become rich by doing something like you did this time?
After being silent for a while, looking at Wu Changliang, who was deeply hit, Li Chen patted him on the shoulder, sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm excited for a while, but you can also think about my words." And also... If they come over tomorrow, I'm not going to pay attention to them. ”
"I see. Wu Changliang lowered his head and said, with a little tears in his eyes, after all, although he is not pampered, he has not been so harshly and directly educated in his heart.
"Okay, I won't leave you for dinner, since you said that you will come over tomorrow, then you should call right away, otherwise those rich people have arranged the next day's itinerary, and it will be even more embarrassing." Li Chen directly ordered the eviction.
Wu Changliang got up and whispered, "Hmm." ”
After Li Chen sent him out of the courtyard, he said to Wu Changliang, who was about to leave: "Men, you should have the courage to face reality, cowardice will only make you more cowardly." ”
Wu Changliang paused, didn't know if he listened or not, and left without looking back.
Li Chen looked at his disappearing back, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, he even played a deep game.
Now he wondered if he should auction these fish all at once, so as not to continue to be worried about it, and not be at peace all the time.
