The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 613

[Chapter 613 Meeting Liuli again]

The merchant gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He looked at Ding Tong and said, “Eight thousand taels, Master Ding should think about it.”

The young man next to him and the servants of Ding’s house heard this.

Eight thousand taels can’t help but tremble.

A few days ago, the six glazed treasures together only cost 5,000 taels, but now someone has offered a price of 8,000 taels for this one.

what does that mean?

They didn’t do anything, they just smashed the remaining five defective products, and made a net profit of three thousand taels of silver for no reason!

That’s three thousand taels!

Ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family’s living expenses for a year, and three thousand taels is enough for thirty ordinary families!

Even for Yuanwailang, his annual salary is only fifty taels.

In

just three days, I earned sixty years of salary. It’s so crazy! Unexpectedly,

Ding

Tong’s expression was very indifferent. He waved his hand and said: “Brother Fang, we are not talking about colored glass today, we are just tasting tea.”

After saying that, he looked at the young man beside him and ordered: “Go, Make a pot of good tea for your uncle Fang, the best Longjing I brought from Jiangnan last year!”

“Yes, Dad.”

The young man nodded, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and went to make tea.

Some are happy, some are sad.

When the merchant surnamed Fang saw this scene, he immediately knew what was going on.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it even after eight thousand taels!

“Uncle Fang, please have some tea.”

The young man placed the tea next to the merchant and stood behind Ding Tong.

Ding Tong made an invitation gesture and said with a smile: “Brother Fang, this is a good Longjing. One tael costs fifty taels of silver. I only have three taels in my house. I only use it when entertaining distinguished guests.” Use it.

I usually don’t want to drink it.

How can I have a taste of tea at this moment ?

Let alone fifty taels of tea, even one hundred taels of tea would be tasteless!

However, after all the kind invitation, the merchant still picked up the tea cup, took a sip, praised a few words of “good tea”, then focused his attention on Ding Tong again, and asked: “Since Mr. Ding thinks Eight thousand taels is not suitable. Why

don’t you, Mr. Ding, tell you a price yourself, so that Fang Mou can have a better idea? “

How can a shrewd second-rate dealer like Ding Tong say the price himself first?”

You know, whether you are a buyer or a seller, as long as you make an offer first, you will lose half the price, unless the price is extremely low.

But now it seems that this is no longer possible.

“Hey, Brother Fang, I told you that today we will only taste tea, not about colored glaze.”

Ding Tong waved his hands with a calm look and said, “After you taste the tea, I will take you to see what I have collected over the years.” Those antique calligraphy and paintings.

They are all treasures, and they would be priceless at the Baolefang auction. “

In short, we talked about everything, except Liuli.

But among the people who came to visit at this time, who didn’t come to visit because of Liuli?

When the merchant saw this scene, his heart was already cold.

He knew that he might not be able to take this piece of colored glaze away from Ding’s house on his own.

After all, there are only a few days until the auction, and these rare and rare treasures will increase in value as time goes by.

Especially this kind of unique product!

By next year, the price of this glass treasure may be tens of thousands!

However, eight thousand taels had indeed reached the limit he could imagine.

Businessmen like him can’t afford to start early without any profit. If they see no possibility, they still want to stay here.

When I heard that Ding Tong was going to take him to see the antique calligraphy and paintings he collected, I immediately understood what he was thinking.

It was just to get more money out of his own pocket

, so he stood up, cupped his hands and said: “Fang suddenly remembered that there are some things at home that have not been dealt with. Mr. Ding kindly invited him, but Fang can’t accompany him. I’m really sorry. Sorry.”

Ding Tong was also a drunkard who didn’t care about drinking. He took the opportunity to promote his collection or the antique calligraphy and paintings he planned to resell. He just did it casually.

It didn’t work out, but I wasn’t disappointed.

He also stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: “It doesn’t matter, it’s the same thing if I invite Brother Fang to my house for a tasting another day.”

“In this case, Fang will leave first!”

The merchant surnamed Fang didn’t think about it for a moment. He stayed here, cupped his hands, turned around and left.

Business fails, benevolence and righteousness remain.

Ding Tong has now become a typical businessman. Seeing this scene, he also greeted his son and ordered: “Go and give it to your uncle.”

“Yes, daddy.”

The young man should claim to be giving it to his son. The merchant named Fang arrived in front of the mansion.

At this time, I heard the servants at the door talking about something, so I came forward and listened.

“Hey, have you heard? Baolefang is going to hold an auction again, and the ones sold are still colored glazes, and I heard that the quality is even better than what we adults have!”

“Is it true?

This colored glaze is not sold on the street. It’s possible to have such stones. Over the years, only a few of them have appeared in our capital. How come it’s only been a few days?”

“I don’t know, I just heard about it, but outside. They are all spreading the word, so they should be close to each other.”

“So, wouldn’t our lord suffer a big loss?”

“Hush, keep your voice down, our lord probably doesn’t know about this yet! He won’t be angry if he finds out!

Hearing this, the young master of the Ding Mansion couldn’t bear it anymore. He walked up to them, looked at them, and asked, “What are you talking about?”

The

two servants suddenly heard the voice of their young master. , were all startled and almost fell down.

After standing firm, he lowered his head and whispered: “Young people, young people.”

He hesitated, but did not dare to tell the truth.

When the young master of the Ding Mansion saw this scene, he became even more angry and yelled: “Say!”

The two servants knew what kind of person their young master was.

In front of the elders, he was a respectful and handsome young man.

In front of servants like them, he was a devil.

Bullying them wantonly and not treating them as human beings at all.

Hearing this stern voice, everyone was frightened and knelt on the ground, saying in a trembling voice: “Young men, young men, I heard that Baolefang is going to auction colored glaze again.”

The young master of Ding Mansion heard these words again. , took a deep breath, his eyes became red, and he was already anxious.

He thought for a while, lowered his head, glared at the two kneeling servants, and scolded sternly: “Go and investigate for me whether this matter is true. If you are talking nonsense, don’t blame me. Ruthless!”

The two servants were frightened and kept kowtowing: “Young Master, spare your life, Young Master, please spare your life!”

The expression on Mr. Ding’s face was gloomy and terrifying, and he yelled: “Go away now!”
