Chapter 118: The Buying and Selling of Life
After drifting to the top of Chenghuang Mountain, Xiahou wandered around the Chenghuang Temple a few times, and after checking the clear shape, he saw that it was still early, so he decided to take a break offline.
After going offline, Xiahou floated to the next door and didn't see the little fat man Pang Fei, so he went around on the 19th floor, but still didn't find the little fat man, could it be that he was fired from the company if he didn't see him for a day?
With this doubt, Xia Hou got into the ventilation duct, climbed up, and didn't see the little fat man until he found the top floor, no way, Xia Hou began to look down.
When he went down to the 8th floor, Xia Hou made a new discovery, where he saw several new faces.
Since they have been in the Qiling Mansion for several days, the Lin family has basically seen Xiahou, although they don't know their names yet, they are all a little familiar, and they can still be distinguished.
At a glance, these people are obviously not from the Lin family, nor do they look like newly recruited game testers, which Xia Hou still has confidence.
The leader of these people was an old man in his seventies and eighties, and behind him were several strong men who looked like bodyguards.
Who are they and what's going on? With this question, Xia Hou stood aside and watched.
"Qian Dong, welcome to Qiling Company, contemptible Lin Ting, this time I am responsible for the reception and negotiation of Qian Dong." Opposite them was an old man named Lin Zhen.
The old man named Qian Dong said: "Mr. Lin, wasn't Mr. Lin Tilin in charge before, how can he be replaced now?" ”
Lin Zhen replied with a smile: "Brother Ladder has encountered some trouble, and he can't spare time now, if Qian Dong is not in a hurry, wait a month or two, Brother Ladder will be free to negotiate business with Qian Dong by then." ”
This Lin Ti Xiahou knows that he is not the old man who was killed by himself in the copy, he is indeed in trouble now, and this Xiahou can testify.
Qian Dong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't wait for him." ”
"Come, Qian Dong, please, let's go in and talk alone, you can entertain these brothers well." Lin Yan turned his head and said to the person next to him.
Lin Ting left Qian Dong's bodyguard here and took Qian Dong to a room alone to talk in detail.
Xia Hou followed them in, this person came here with bodyguards, it seems that the origin is not small.
Lin Zhen invited Qian Dong to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said: "Qian Dong, we have traded several times and established trust in each other, you know that our reputation is excellent, we have always put money before goods, and this time is the same." ”
Qian Dong nodded and said, "I understand, this time I plan to buy more, buy for 20 years at a time, buy so much, Mr. Lin can ask for a discount." ”
Hearing his words, Lin Zhen's face stiffened, and he said with a dry smile: "The company's board of directors just met and decided to suspend the sale of life to the outside world, because Qian Dong is an old friend, the board of directors decided to make an exception once." The current price is 50 million a year, as for the number, Qian Dong should think about it again, twenty years is too much, we can't take out so much at once. ”
Hearing his words, Qian Dong said in surprise: "Your ability to sit on the ground and raise prices is too powerful, isn't it 10 million a year before, why did it increase fivefold in a few days?" ”
Lin Zhen explained: "Qian Dong, don't you know, the Temple of Life has been a little unstable recently, and we finally repelled the natives there, and the losses are very great." We're now living in a very tight lifespan, so if you wait a few more years and come back in a few years, maybe we'll be back to 10 million a year. ”
Qian Dong said dissatisfiedly: "Cunning, you know that I can only live for one year, and let me live for a few years, you are hoarding goods and reluctant to sell, sitting on the ground and starting the price." Fifty million a year is a bit expensive, and we've traded it several times, so let's talk about the real price. ”
Lin Zhen said without giving an inch: "Chairman Qian, 50 million, this is the real price, it can't be cheap." An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time. How many people want to use money to buy time, they still can't find a way, Qian Dong can buy life with a blockage, how can he not lose anything. ”
"How can you do this, what's wrong with you? The price has increased fivefold all at once, and I really can't accept it, how about 20 million a year? Qian Dong tried to make a counteroffer.
Lin Yan insisted and did not let go: "This is really not good, we are really very nervous about our life resources now, we have stopped selling for a long time, if it weren't for you being our old friend, the board of directors would not have taken into account your actual situation, we would not have sold it anymore." ”
Looking at Lin Zhen's look of whether he liked to buy or not, Qian Dong gritted his teeth and said: "I know it's not easy for everyone, 50 million is too expensive, 30 million, how about it?" ”
Lin Yan spread his hands and said: "Dong Qian, this is not my own decision, we had a board meeting before you came, this is a unanimous decision made by the directors, I have no right and cannot change it, 50 million, not a single point can be lowered." ”
Seeing that Lin Zhen was biting to death and not letting go, Qian Dong said angrily: "I now know why you have changed people, find someone who doesn't enter the oil and salt, and give a chance to bargain when doing business, do you have such a business?" Tell Lin Ti to come out, I'll talk to him! ”
Lin Zhen put away his smile and said solemnly: "Qian Dong misunderstood, Brother Ladder is really in trouble, he can't come, even if he can come, it's still at this price, and he can't give a cent." And this is not a business, it is not a transaction, this is a life-saving business, and it is a more sacred cause than treating diseases and saving people in the hospital! If it weren't for Qian Dong, you are our old friend, we wouldn't have exchanged our lives for money. Life is one's own after all, but money is something outside one's body after all. ”
Seeing that the price could not be suppressed, Qian Dong had no choice but to compromise, who let this is the only one who sells his life in this world, there is no other semicolon.
Qian Dong sighed and said, "Hey, the deadline is coming, this time I was calculated by you, let's buy it for a year first." I was going to buy it for 20 years, but I didn't expect you to take advantage of the fire to rob, your price is too ruthless, you can't afford it, and the people's livelihood is difficult. ”
Lin Zhen didn't think so, but said: "Qian Dong, don't say that, after all, life is priceless, it can't be measured by money, to be honest, you still earned it." ”
Qian Dong stood up and walked outside: "I'll make a call and ask my son to make a call, it's still the same account last time, right?" ”
"Yes." Lin Zhen stood up and sent him off.
Qian Dong walked to another room and started calling: "Hey, second, it's me, it's all negotiated, call 50 million to the account last time." ”
When Xia Hou got up, he sat on his head, came out together, and was now listening to his ear.
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side: "Dad, don't you want to buy it for twenty years, how can you give 50 million enough?" Could it be that the eldest brother went there to work, and they gave you a 2.5% discount? ”
As soon as he said this, Qian Dong said angrily: "What a two-point five-fold deal,!" As soon as your eldest brother came here to work, they raised the price five times, 50 million a year, I tried my best, and they refused to lower the price, I think they want to give your eldest brother a disadvantage. ”
Hearing his words, an angry voice came from the other side: "Damn, these bastards. Dad, you don't have much time, I think this time I will give them 200 million, these two hundred million are ready, buy them first. At the same time, it is also a test, if they dare to give only four years regardless of their previous friendship, we ...... Not to mention, now the 200 million budget is spent first, in case they raise the price again in the future, we ......"
Qian Dong interrupted him dissatisfiedly and said, "Why am I running out of time, how do you speak?" ”
"Dad, you made a mistake in your mouth, you said the wrong thing in a moment of excitement, you will live a long life...... Ah, no, long live you, immortal. Dad, if they really only gave four years, I will definitely ask them for an explanation for you, this kind of good thing cannot only be in their hands, we have an excuse to get a piece of the pie. "There was a quiet voice on the other end of the phone.
Qian Dong interrupted the voice on the other end of the phone and said, "Forget it, don't say this on the phone, you can tell your eldest brother about this later." When I got back, we sat down as a family and discussed what we were going to do next. ”
"Okay, Dad, we'll wait for you to come back."
"You said that this group of people, in order to raise the price, actually changed someone to trade, isn't this an extra move? It seems that for the sake of money, they really do everything, they are all a group of guys whose conscience is eaten by money. ”
Through their conversation, Xia Hou knew that they were eyeing this game, and it seemed that there was a good show to watch.
But how did the Lin family come up with the idea of selling their life in exchange for money? They don't know how many greedy people will be attracted by doing so?
In the face of the covetousness of these greedy guys, it seems that the Lin family is in trouble, how can I add fuel to the fire on it?
Xia Hou sat on Qian Dong's head and thought about the ins and outs of the matter.
