7. Good pen
As soon as he heard that the Quartet was not for sale, the man jumped up in a hurry: "Why?" Before waiting for the Quartet to answer, he added: "As long as you give me this pen, the cost of damage to this door and window will be cleared." ”
When Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng heard this, they replied: "Okay, good!"
The cost of this pen is only four yuan, but if these smashed doors and windows really want to be compensated, it will be at least thousands of dollars, it is rare for someone to pay such a high price to buy this pen, this is really a pie falling from the sky, and it happens to be smashed on the head of a person who has been hungry for seven days, why not do it?
Cheng Sifang said: "This gentleman, I'm really sorry, the doors and windows are damaged, I will compensate according to the price, but this amount cannot be given, so please ask Mr. to continue to calculate on my clothes." Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng listened, all strange, Xiao Zhihan ran to Cheng Sifang's side and whispered: "Why refuse? This is a big deal!" Cheng Sifang smiled secretly in his heart: "Big deal? The big deal I want is still to come." ”
"In this way, to offset the damage to the doors and windows, I will give you two taels of silver, how about it?" So he took out two taels of silver from the front pocket of his waist.
There are two taels of silver, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears, Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng would not have believed that a pen could be sold at such a high price.
There will be three treasures, weapons, armor and BMW, weapons to injure the enemy, armor to the body, the value of BMWs is above the two, attack and escape, if a military general because of the horse, failed to catch up with the enemy, missed a rare opportunity, what is the use of the best weapon? If a military general because of the horse, failed to escape in time and lost his life, no matter how good the armor is, what is the use? Therefore, the value of the BMW is the sin of the three treasures.
There will be three treasures, the text also has four treasures, that is the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, among which the pen is the most important, if there is no good pen, no matter how good the paper, ink, inkstone, can not play its due charm. This person carries an ink bottle with him, obviously a person of good literature, a person of good literature, and the requirements for the four treasures are even more demanding. Since this person is a person who is good at writing, his requirements for the Four Treasures, especially the pen, will not be low.
When Cheng Quartet handed over the pen to this person, this person saw that the pen was damaged, and some hesitated to use it, so he knew that this person's attention to the pen was by no means ordinary. Although it was expected, the price offered by this person was still beyond Cheng Sifang's expectations, and Cheng Sifang calculated in his heart that at most he could pay off the compensation for the damage to the doors and windows, but he did not expect that there would be two taels of silver more.
The more this is the case, the more happy the Quartet becomes, because the more it reflects the value of his own money, and the more he can infer from the price of this person, the more he has made a pen, and the bigger his business can be.
Cheng Quartet said: "I can't sell this pen, originally I brought two, today was lost one, only this one is left......" Before the words were finished, this person was a high-five, shouting: "It's a pity!" Xiao Zhihan on the side panicked in his heart, regretting that he had accidentally destroyed such a high-priced object.
Cheng Sifang continued: "But since Mr. likes this pen so much, I should make a friend and give it to Mr. As soon as these words came out, this person was overjoyed, and Xiao and Xiang were shocked.
The man laughed: "It couldn't be better! So he turned to the boy and said, "Boy, make a pot of tea to entertain your guests." He invited Cheng Sifang into the house, Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng then entered, sat in the hall, and wondered in his heart, why did Cheng Quartet do this, two taels of silver for nothing, and flew. Xiao Zhihan muttered, "I really don't know what the boss is thinking." Xiang Beifeng has been impressed by the clever plan of Cheng Quartet to make money, and whispered: "The boss must have his reason for doing this." ”
The tea was brewed, brewed, everyone tasted it, and the person said with a smile on his face: "In Xia Chen Lin, I am fortunate to meet with Boss Cheng today, and I will replace the wine with tea here, and I will toast Boss Cheng with a cup." ”
Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng were shocked, and Xiang Beifeng asked: "Chen Lin? Could it be that he is the great talent who wrote "For Yuan Shao's Yuzhou Wen", Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang?" Chen Lin smiled slightly: "It is just below, and now it is the sacrificial wine of the Air Force Division of Cao Company." ”
Chen Lin was a member of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and served in the imperial court at the beginning, but He Jin did not listen to his advice, so that he led the wolf into the room, causing Dong Zhuo to dominate the situation of the Beijing Division. Later, from Yuan Shao, before the outbreak of the Battle of Guandu, he wrote an article for Yuan Shao "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao", scolding Cao Cao's ancestors for eight generations, and scolding Cao Cao, who was suffering from head disease, was frightened, and the head disease was cured. This matter has long been spread all over the world, and I admire Chen Lin's wonderful writing. Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng had heard his name earlier, but they had never seen him, and when they saw it today, they couldn't help but have a sense of restraint when they saw the king.
Cheng Sifang is a person who has been cut off from the outside world for many years, regardless of whether he is in chaos outside or icy and snowy, Cheng Sifang doesn't know, he only smiled and saluted: "It turned out to be Lord Chen." Chen Lin saw that he was so calm and composed, and then looked at Xiao Xiang's surprised expressions on the two, and there was a layer of admiration for Cheng Sifang in his heart, but he didn't expect that his composure was just that he didn't know what was going on outside.
Chen Lin said some mundane things with Cheng Sifang, but Cheng Sifang only answered, but did not start any topic first. Chen Lin asked and asked, and when he saw that Cheng Quartet was just perfunctory, he didn't ask anymore, just piled up a smiling face, took the pen he had just arrived in his hand, and looked at it.
Cheng Sifang saw Chen Lin like this, drank the tea in the tea bowl in one gulp, and said: "The number of this pen is extremely rare, I only carry this one, which was originally my tool for making money, but as the so-called virtuous minister has to meet the master, a good pen has to meet a talented person, Lord Chen loves this pen so much, I will give it to Lord Chen, I just hope to exchange a pen for Lord Chen, let me continue to do business." These words were learned from Village Chief Wang when Cheng Quartet was in the village.
Chen Lin smiled: "This is easy to do, boy, take my pen." When he was young, the boy carried a pen stand, on which more than 20 pens were densely hung: "Boss Cheng is optional." Cheng Sifang took a pen at random: "Thank you, Lord Chen." Then he said: "Master Chen, I really have a lot of money, and I must cherish it." ”
These words came out of Cheng Quartet's mouth, Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng both felt strange, they were still letting this pen be smashed by a thousand stones before, and now they said that they would cherish this pen. As everyone knows, this is Cheng Sifang deliberately trying to arouse Chen Lin's curiosity.
Sure enough, Chen Linqi said: "Such a good pen should be mass-produced, so that everyone in the world can use it, why is there only this one?" Cheng Sifang said: "The raw materials required are different from ordinary brushes, and they are very difficult to collect, so the production is scarce. Chen Lin slapped the table and stood up: "So, Boss Cheng still has stock?" Cheng Sifang said: "There are not many, there are less than two hundred." ”
"Great!" Chen Lin walked down, took the hand of Cheng Quartet, and said: "There are still two thousand such good pens, if we can all use this kind of good pen, it would be great, let's go, I will introduce you to see Cao Gong." Cheng Sifang smiled and said: "Since Lord Chen said so, then I might as well be respectful." So he went out of the house with Chen Lin.
Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng hurriedly ran to Cheng Sifang's side, grabbed Cheng Sifang, Xiao Zhihan said: "Boss, wait a minute, do you know who this Lord Chen is going to take you to?" Cheng Sifang looked dazed: "Isn't this an obvious thing? Xiao Zhihan almost didn't fall to the ground: "I'm completely ...... to you No more words. ”
Xiang Beifeng said with a serious face: "Boss, the person you are going to meet is Cao Cao." Cheng Sifang was still at a loss: "Who is Cao Cao?"
Xiang Beifeng was stunned: "You don't know?"
"I don't know. ”
Cao Cao raised troops from Chen Liu, and under the orders of the Son of Heaven, he attacked Dong Zhuo, defeated Lu Bu, defeated Liu Bei, destroyed Yuan Shao, unified the north, and Xingdu and Ye.
Xiang Beifeng said: "Boss, when you see Cao Cao, you must not say offensive words, otherwise we will all die." "Although Xiao Zhihan and Xiang Beifeng's martial arts are high, there are not a few fierce generals under Cao Cao, among which Xiahou Xuan, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, etc. are not inferior to the two of them, even if Xiao Zhihan's swordsmanship is superb, and Xiang Beifeng's marksmanship is unparalleled, and he is better than these fierce generals, how can he withstand the trampling and ravaging of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops?
Cheng Sifang smiled: "Of course, doing business is to be kind." After finishing speaking, he caught up with Chen Lin, Xiao Zhihan shook his head: "I don't think the boss has any consciousness at all." ”
At this time, Cheng Quartet is thinking about a huge deal in his heart, if it can be done, the income of Cheng Quartet will be huge, and this will also be the first step to become the richest man in the world.
Chen Lin led the three of them to Cao Cao's residence, this mansion is flashy but not luxurious, solemn but not strong, all aspects are just right, if you don't know, you think which nouveau riche lives in it, where would you think that Cao Cao lives in it?
There was a big man standing in front of the door, it was Cao Cao's close attendant Xu Chu, Xu Chu saw Chen Lin, and saluted with a smile: "Mr. Kong Zhang, come to see the lord?" Chen Lin said: "Yes, yes, I have something to report to the lord, please ask General Xu to report it." Xu Chu agreed, went into the room for a while, and said, "Mr. Kong Zhang, please come to the study." ”
Chen Lin led the three of them into the house and stopped in front of a secluded incense room, Chen Lin saluted to the door: "Lord, Chen Lin has something to report." I only heard a person's voice from inside the room, simple but very majestic: "Kong Zhang, it's just right, come in and come in." "Don't think about it, this is Cao Cao's voice. Chen Lin said to Cheng Sifang: "Boss Cheng, wait a minute. But he heard another voice from inside the house: "Who have you brought with you?" ”
