On this day, as soon as Downing got off work, a colleague came to his side, handed him a cigar and diligently helped him light the fire. ”

Marcel laughed and said, "Well, it's a little bit of a trivial matter, Tony, can you please ask your fiancée's uncle, Mr. Hule, if he is still willing to accept that holy shell?" ”

Tang Ning asked rhetorically in some surprise, "What?" Do you have one here? ”

Marcel nodded, "A little, but not much." ”

"Where did you get that?" Tang Ning asked curiously.

"Oh, that's right, ever since the news spread that the holy shells with monograms were valuable, people began to go to the beach to look for them. But what do these fishermen know, this morning there was a guy who set up a stall in the market and sold a holy shell for ten, ah, no, twenty raw shells, but as soon as they were put on the table, they were snatched up, and it took me great effort to buy a hundred. Marcel explained, and then said with some embarrassment: "But this kind of good thing is also a waste in my hands, so I want to ask Tony for you to help me ask Uncle Hule if he will accept it?" These holy shells can only be of true value in the hands of someone as knowledgeable as him. ”

Listening to Marcel's words, Tang Ning sneered in his heart, what is only Yu Le knows, you just say that you want to make a profit, but on the surface he still replied seriously: "I have to go back and ask Uncle Yu Le about this, although he said that this kind of holy shell can be shipped to the Americas for a lot of money, but if the quantity is too small, it is not worth making a special trip, so it is really hard to say that you have a hundred." ”

Hearing Tangning say this, Marcel immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Tony, you must help me talk to Uncle Hule, these twenty francs are a small amount of money in the eyes of a rich man like him, but that is all my savings, if he doesn't accept it, then I will not smash it?" Tony, you know that my family is very difficult, and I have four children to raise, and if the twenty francs are gone, then I will really have to die......"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Ning hurriedly interrupted: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely persuade Uncle Yule to take all your hundred holy shells." But he still complained in his heart, since you know that your family is in difficulty, why not buy a holy shell for twenty francs at such a risk?

When he arrived at Hule's residence, Tangning was about to talk about Marcel, but he was surprised to see that Philippe was talking to Hule with great interest: "Hule, do you think I have encountered something good today?" ”

Maybe it was because he was too excited, so before he could answer, Philip hurriedly said: "You must not guess, I will tell you directly, today when I went to the park after taking a nap, I actually saw someone selling holy shells, and only sold them for thirty cenels, how could I miss such a good thing, so I immediately bought them all, there are more than three hundred, and this is not hundreds or even thousands of francs when it changes hands in the Americas!" ”

Yu Le took a shallow sip of the coffee in his hand and said indifferently: "Dear Brother Philip, you are right, but I can't afford to go to America for the sake of three hundred holy shells, right?" ”

"Well, that's right." Mr. Philip scratched his hair and replied, but then he said with a bitter face: "Then, Hule, are these three hundred holy shells useless?" I bought it with my money! ”

Hule replied with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to be so distressed, so let's do it, I will collect all your three hundred holy shells, and I will collect them at the price of one franc each, anyway, I am not afraid to put this thing, and when I go to America again, I will sell these holy shells by the way." ”

"Oh, dear Hule, you are so good!" Mr. Philip said gratefully.

"Brother, what are you polite to me, if you encounter such a holy shell again in the future, as long as the price is not too excessive, you will buy them all, and I will buy them all here according to one franc." Hule patted his chest and reassured.

"How do you make it look like I'm taking advantage of you and making your money!" Mr. Philip said with some embarrassment.

"How can this be called brother, you earn my money, this is just that I will give you a part of the profits in advance, and you also know that this holy shell can definitely be sold for more than one franc in the Americas." Hule was relieved.

"That's right, that's the same, Na Cheng, if you encounter this holy shell in the future, I'll help you collect it all!"

Seeing that the two of them had already talked about it, Tang Ning leaned over and said to Le, "Uncle Yule, it just so happens that a colleague of mine has also bought some holy shells, and wants to ask me if you can accept them?" ”

Hule nodded without hesitation and replied: "Yes, yes, but since it is your colleague, it is impossible to buy it according to the purchase price of one franc, by the way, how much did your colleague buy?" ”

"Well, he said it was twenty lives, but I don't think there should be so many." Downing guessed.

But before he could speak, Mr. Philip exclaimed, "Huh? Why did he buy it so cheaply? Am I being deceived by that damn outlander? "But Don Rather than believe that Mr. Philip would be deceived, but that it is more likely that he would raise the purchase price, after all, he would have made more money from Huler.

But Hule, a successful businessman, did not seem to have thought of this at all, but instead persuaded Mr. Philippe: "Brother, it's okay, it's a big deal, it's a big deal." ”

Then he turned to Tang Ning and said, "In this way, I will buy it from your colleague according to twenty-five shengding, and you ask him if he is willing to sell." ”

As a result, there was no need to ask, Marcel was very happy to hear that it could be sold for twenty-five centimes, so he immediately followed Tangning to Huller's residence, but this time Tangning was stunned, because he saw that many people were looking for Hule to sell this kind of holy shell.

This can't help but make him wonder, why did there suddenly appear so many holy shells in Havre City? I haven't seen anyone sell it before, have you? What the hell is going on?

PS: Because the New Year is coming soon, clean up the house, buy New Year's goods, and visit the house of the leader's relatives, so it is really much busier than usual, so I can only change one day recently, and please bear with me, and I will definitely compensate for it when the New Year stabilizes!
