Chapter 60 Section VIII

The following things went like a whirlwind, but Qi Bichengxin also found a little way. Although the house in Yonghefang was dilapidated, it couldn't be bought for 300,000 yuan.Qi Bicheng thought to himself, this is Lao Hu'er trying to embarrass him on purpose. The owner of that house was a run-down young man who was able to live a decent life, and the whole family lived in another small residence.For this house, the owner asked for 800,000 yuan, which is a fair price. Buying a house worth 800,000 yuan with 300,000 yuan requires Qi Bixin to use a little brains.Qi Bicheng's eloquent tongue played a huge role at this time, and he gave the owner a good idea.

The idea doesn't sound complicated.Qi Bicheng paid 100,000 yuan in good faith, plus two promissory notes, one for three months and the other for six months, with no interest bearing.His allure is to increase the actual house price to 830,000. Of course, the money will not be paid until six months later. The owner of the house is not stupid either. Anyway, the house cannot be moved, and he cannot pay the due amount.Even so, the savvy homeowner still felt that the conditions had to be paid by himself, so the total price of the property rose to 850,000, and the down payment was 200,000. Things went smoothly, and Qi Bichengxin was very happy, so he generously paid the regular money for the book office when he transferred the ownership of the real estate in Wannian County.It's just a matter of a thousand dollars, and Qi Bicheng feels that he has some business talents.

Wei Yixin had already been waiting in the old house, listening to Qi Bicheng's honesty and complacency about what happened, and seeing that the house deed and other matters had been settled, he couldn't help praising Qi Bicheng's cleverness. "Even if I do it myself, it won't be better. You are a genius in business." Wei Yixin still had the old cloth scarf on his head, and Qi Bicheng couldn't see his smile clearly. "Then why don't you do it yourself? Don't say cheap things here." Qi Bicheng was not forgiving. When the house deed was obtained, Wei Yixin was a little crazy with excitement.He dismissed the old man at the gate without spending much money, and asked Qi Bicheng to go to the market to find some workers. He especially asked for the kind of farmers who came from outside the city for winter leisure.

In the afternoon, the farmers came, Wei Yixin closed the dilapidated gate tightly, and then ordered the farmers to dig out the stone at the corner of the steps. What was exposed outside the ground was only a corner of the rock, but what was buried under the soil was a huge rock weighing several hundred catties.Qi Bicheng was not interested in these things. He was thinking about how this first business, which was obviously losing money, would bring a profit of one million yuan.If he really lost his money, would this old Hu'er renege on his debt?Then I would be too wrong to my free-eating brother.

When the big stone was finally dug out, the reminder drum on the city gate also rang.This is the rule of Chang'an City. Every evening, drums will sound at the gates of the city, urging pedestrians to return to the workshops where they live.After the sound of eight hundred drums, the gates of all squares, streets and cities will be closed, and the Jinwu Guards will go out to patrol the streets. Those who are still on the streets at this time will commit the crime of night walking, and it is inevitable to spend several days in prison. Wei Yixin directed the crowd to carry the stones into the hall, and immediately paid the wages and sent the farmers away.

"Honesty, go out and buy more food. It should be enough for five or six people. We still have work to do tonight." Wei Yixin caressed the rough and ugly boulder with both hands, as if he was caressing his only son. generally.Seeing Qi Bicheng's disdainful expression, Lao Hu'er said with a smile: "This is our father's first business, digging treasures. I have known that this thing is here, but I have been looking for a really smart and capable person. People with the ability to share this wealth. I finally found you, so this treasure will see the light of day."

The saying that Persians know treasure is a very popular saying in the Tang Dynasty. Qi Bicheng has no doubts about it. However, in the business he made at the risk of hurting his friends, he smelled a trace of it. Disturbing taste.Bosshuer would never share with others the property that he could take it all by himself. Looking at Wei Yixin's methods, 300,000 yuan is not difficult for him. I don't necessarily have to go to the old beggar to borrow it. There are too many people to count.So, why did he drag me to share his treasure? When the reminder drum was about to finish beating, four or five neatly dressed people hurried in from the courtyard, carrying large and small packages in their hands.The leader was in his fifties, with a fat face and a smile on his face. When he saw Wei Yixin, he carefully crossed his hands and saluted. "When I received your letter from the old man, I was a little shocked. People said that the old man was killed, and some said that the old man had gone back to Persia. It's great to see you again."

He crossed his hands to Qi Bicheng again and said: "Little Zhao Sheng, he is doing some jewelry business in Dongshi, and his name is Juren Pavilion." Damn it!Qi Bicheng was puzzled while returning the gift.No one in Chang'an City does not know that Juren Pavilion is the largest jeweler in the two capitals.Last year when the emperor built the Huaqing Palace, Zhao Sheng, the owner of Juren Pavilion, donated twenty pieces of Nanhai camphor wood with a diameter of ten square meters.Needless to say how much this wood is worth, the freight alone will cost tens of millions of dollars.Unexpectedly, this old guy would have such a great ability, so that the boss of Juren Pavilion came here in person like a street runner.

The urging drums had stopped, could it be that Zhao Sheng wanted to spend the night here. What surprised Qi Bicheng even more was that Zhao Sheng actually took off his gorgeous black fox fur cloak, rolled up his snow-white sleeves, and personally measured and drawn lines on the boulder. While he was busy, he also nodded and bowed to ask Wei Yixin for his opinion. "Okay, Boss Zhao, let them remove the outer skin first, and let's look at it later." Wei Yixin had undergone a huge change in Qi Bichengxin's eyes at this time, his back was no longer hunched, his waist was straight, and his blurred eyes He was radiant, and his tone of speech carried a majesty like a king.

The house was so old that there was no usable room, and the three of them had to squeeze into the dingy porter's room. "Your old man is coming out of the mountain this time..." Zhao Sheng spoke very cautiously. "I didn't come out of the mountain. No one knows that I'm still alive, except you." Wei Yixin's gaze was fixed on Zhao Sheng's face, and Qi Bixin could clearly see that Zhao Sheng shivered. Zhao Sheng hurriedly said: "The people who came with me are all newbies. I will send them to Yangzhou after finishing the work tomorrow, so there will be no leaks."

Wei Yixin seemed to be satisfied with Zhao Sheng's performance, so he greeted Qi Bixincheng. "Honesty, bring out the food, let's treat Zhao Caidong to a drink." "Don't dare, thank you." When Qi Bicheng returned to the hall again, he couldn't believe his eyes.The rough skin of the boulder has been chiseled off, and a huge, unruly but dizzyingly beautiful jade is placed on a precarious high table. "Your eyesight is still so good." Zhao Sheng smiled obsequiously. "My eyesight has never changed, it has always been so good." Wei Yixin intentionally hit a nail on Zhao Sheng.Although such a large piece of beautiful jade is rare, in terms of its value, it is not worth a drop in the bucket of Zhao Sheng's Juren Pavilion.The reason why he behaved so humbly was because he was afraid of Lao Hu'er's reputation in the past. "This stone can be used to extract about thirteen pairs of jade belts, right?" Wei Yixin said to Zhao Sheng. "Fifteen pairs, there are still some leftovers that can be used." Zhao Sheng didn't want to take advantage of this demon. "About how much it's worth, tell me the truth as a partner." "A pair of jade belts of this texture is worth about 300,000 yuan, and the scraps are worth 100,000 yuan. The total is about 4.6 million yuan." Zhao Sheng thought to himself, when did this old Huer partner with someone to share profits? ?He clearly remembered that by the time Old Hu'er disappeared, he had no living partners. "Let's say thirteen copies, the rest is wages." Wei Yixin was very generous. "Don't dare to do it, I will serve you myself, and the wages will be ignored." "Then give it to Jade Worker." "Thank you very much." As he spoke, Zhao Sheng took out a roll of oil paper from his sleeve. "Here are the certificates of deposit and checks you requested, a total of 1.5 million yuan."
