Chapter 119 Both buyers and sellers are sincere

The next afternoon, the judges brought a person, 3516 years old, with a foreign accent.When he saw Xing Yi, he said, "Can I see your stone?"

Xing Yi opened the box, took out the stones and laid them out for him to see.

He stretched out his hand to hold the stone, as if measuring its body temperature, stroked it a few times, took out a tissue, wiped it gently on the head of the stone, brought the tissue to his nostrils to smell, took out a lighter, lit the tissue, and carefully observed the flames. , and then took out a small flashlight and a magnifying glass, almost lying on the ground, watching carefully inch by inch.

After reading it, he stared at Xing Yi: "Tell me about the origin of the stone?"

"There's nothing to say. The person who found the stone said that he was playing on the river beach. He accidentally fell and kicked off a few small stones, and the stone came out. He thought the color looked good, so he took it home. , and then he met me.”

"how much did you spend?"

Xing Yi stretched out five fingers.

"fifty thousand?"

Xing Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "No, no."

The judge interjected: "Our collection of strange stones has just started, and there is still a big gap between the market prices and yours."

"I understand what you mean."

He turned to Xing Yi and asked, "Do you want to sell this stone?"

"Want to sell."

"Then, just make a price."

Xing Yi thought for a while but didn't speak. He just looked at the judges.

The judge smiled slightly and said, "I'll step away a little while you talk."

The judge walked away, and the buyer looked a little impatient: "Tell me, how much does it cost?"

Xing Yi bit his lip, and his heart was moving. When the stone was put into the base, he asked the old carpenter if he believed that this stone could be sold for 2 yuan.At that moment, the old carpenter's dumbfounded look made people laugh.

How about I play it safe now and ask him for [-] yuan?

I gave half of the 3 yuan to the old carpenter and [-] yuan to Wen Qiyi. I still have [-] yuan.I asked a few days ago that the cost of replacing a femoral head is [-]. Once this stone is sold, half of it will be paid.

He was thinking a lot, so his face turned slightly red and he said, "You are an expert, just tell me."

The buyer pouted, made a face, and held out five fingers.

Xing Yi first felt that it was five thousand, which was a bit far from what he expected.

When the buyer saw him frowning, he thought he didn't understand, so he said, "Do you think I paid 5 yuan a little too little?"

Xing Yi looked up at the ceiling. He was afraid that he would hit his head when he jumped.

He tried hard to control the agitation in his heart, pretending to be hesitant, calming himself down as quickly as possible, staring at the stone intently.

This man saw the stone for the first time, and he looked at it inch by inch, even more carefully than the judges. What did he see?

The buyer rubbed his hands: "How is it? Do you think my bid is low? Then you always have a low price in your mind. Tell me, how much less will you not sell?"

Xing Yi quickly calculated in his mind. If he offers [-] yuan, then I will change the original plan and increase it based on his bid. How much more can he accept?

He hesitantly stretched out his thumb and index finger and made an eight gesture.

The buyer said calmly: "I paid [-] yuan, and you asked for [-] yuan. There is a big or small gap in the middle. Whether this business can be successful or not depends on the sincerity of both of us. What about you, you really want to Sell, as for me, I really want to buy, this is sincerity, on this basis, how about we each give in?"

He also whispered: "Yeah, okay."

"If you say yes, then I'll add ten thousand. Look at my step, it's not a small one. Your step can't be less than..."

"Okay, I'll give in ten thousand, too."

"That means you agreed to sell it to me for [-] yuan?"

"Well, I promise."

The buyer grabbed his hand, turned it over, and let the other hand pat it.

"Deal!"

After taking the money, the first thing to do was to deposit thirty-five thousand to the old carpenter, and the two of them would share it equally. Whatever was said in person must be honored.

We invited the judges and the buyer to dinner and gave the judges 1000 yuan to express our gratitude.

I went to a wool store and bought two kilograms of high-quality wool for Ni Shuzhen’s mother and a scarf for Yang Linxiang’s mother. I went to a telecommunications product store and picked out a blue mobile phone to give to Ni Shuzhen. I also went to a music store and bought one for Ni’s father. Bring a brand new erhu.

After finishing the above tasks, I still have 3 yuan left. I will give [-] yuan to my mother and keep the rest for myself.

When I returned to Jinxiu, I checked that I still had enough time, so I immediately rushed to the Wanhe River to get on the boat. At ten o'clock in the evening, I arrived at Ma'anshan and met my parents.

My father was cleaning the yard at the door. He saw him from afar. He put down the broom, dusted himself off, and waited for him to walk over.

Mother was doing crafts at home and had already made two pairs. When he came in, she asked him to sit down, took off his shoes, put the insoles in, and tried them on again to see if they fit.

Xing Yi felt warmth on his feet, held his mother's hand, and said affectionately: "We have money now. Mom's leg disease should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible."

The mother said: "My leg problem is not serious and I can still walk. I don't need to go to the hospital for examination."

He said: "I have consulted with a specialized doctor. Check early and perform surgery at the early stage of the disease. The effect is particularly good and there will be no sequelae."

With that said, he took out 2 yuan.Give it to your father.

The father did not answer immediately, but asked: "Where did you get the money?"

He put the money in the dustpan where his mother was doing handiwork and said, "Don't worry, the money was obtained through legitimate channels. After you have discussed and determined the time for the inspection, inform me and I will ask for leave to accompany you."

My father said: "As long as you have me, you can work with peace of mind. When you first arrive at the new unit, you must perform well and don't leave a bad impression on others."

Fang Kehua, the deputy director of the village, came and said, "Someone ran to me and told me that they saw Uncle Xing's eldest son coming. I quickly put aside my livelihood and came over. It turned out to be you. I'll stay for a few more days when I come back."

Xing Yi said: "No, I will go back tomorrow."

Fang Kehua said: "Did you tell me about what happened on the hillside?"

Father Xing said: "Not yet, you are here, you can tell me."

Fang Ke said: "It's like this. The report you helped us make made everyone aware of it and discussed it, but the enthusiasm couldn't be raised for a while."

Xing Yi said: "I will bring the fruit saplings in, and I want you to take the lead and plant them first."

Fang Kehua said: "I can try."

Xing Yi said: "Let me ask you, if I say, I will give you one yuan to dig a hole, and I will give you another two yuan if the sapling survives, will you do it?"

"What are you talking about? Not only did you pay to buy fruit saplings, but you also paid to dig holes?"

"Yes."

"Why do you do that?"

The father also looked at his son blankly, with a look of surprise on his face.

Xing Yi explained: “I stated this in that report. When the implementation started, that is, in the early stages, the enthusiasm of the villagers was not very high. This was expected, so there was such an arrangement. As an incentive."

“Where does this rule come from when you plant fruit trees on your own barren slope and get paid for free?”

Xing Yi said: "After the tree pit is dug, my father will count and pay on site."

"Speaking of which, if I don't go all out, even if the deputy director is wrong, I will still work hard to get this thing done, otherwise I will really be sorry for you, father and son."

"My parents came to Ma'anshan, and you took them in. They live a relaxed and stable life. This is the greatest support for me. It is me who should be grateful. If I do this, it can be regarded as a reward for the villagers."
