At around eight o'clock in the morning, three buyers arrived as scheduled. I saw that the woman named Qin Juan looked confident, as if she was determined to win our tower. Wang Ruhai also wanted to try to bid. As for the man named Liu, he His expression remained expressionless after he sat down.
Wang Ruhai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, everyone is here. Let's take out the thing and show it to everyone. I've only seen that thing once in the museum. If you can't buy it and touch it, it's not a worthwhile trip."
He pressed his head with his hands to signal for peace of mind, and then gave me a look.
I nodded in understanding, walked quickly to the door, opened it and took a look, then I closed the door to signal safety.
Only then did the boss say:
"Everyone, something happened yesterday. That thing will have to be kept for a few more days."
Liu Yuanning, who had been talking very little, stood up suddenly. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean, someone cut off the beard? Or do you, the king, don't understand the rules?"
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Please pay attention to what I just said. I said to keep it for a few more days, but I didn't say that I can't ship the goods." He looked at the three of them and said, "So, you can continue to bid, and the one with the highest price will win." This rule still applies."
Liu Yuanning looked at the boss and said, "So what you mean is, pay the money first and deliver the goods later?"
He shook his head and said, "Pay 15% of the total price as a deposit first."
Liu Yuanning immediately shook his head and said: "I don't agree with this. In the past, when we cooperated with Boss Sun, we paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other hand. Boss Wang, I see you have recruited a few new faces, but you still have to abide by this rule." Old one."
He turned his head and said, "I know this." He looked at Qin Juan and asked, "Miss Qin, what do you mean?"
Qin Juan asked hesitantly: "Then...how many days did you mention first? How many days specifically?"
"Five days." He stretched out his head and slapped him.
Qin Juan said with embarrassment: "It's not that I don't trust you, Chief Wang. You also know that my money does not belong to me alone. Lao Kong, Lao Zhao and others all have shares..."
"You can pay a deposit. Let's not talk about it for now. You guys can take a look at the goods." The boss instructed me to bring over the iron box.
The moment I opened the iron box with the key, everyone stopped arguing and stared at the iron tower with shining eyes.
I only let them look at it for a few minutes and then put the tin box away.
"I'll give you 40," Wang Ruhai said, "Don't come in secret, come in the open."
Just when Qin Juan was about to speak, Liu Yuanning stood up and said: "438, all I can get."
Both my head and I were stunned, why would you buy something like this?
"Wait a minute, I need to call a few shareholders to discuss paying the deposit and delaying delivery for five days," Qin Juan took out her mobile phone and said.
Liu Yuanning shrugged, looked at the boss and said: "The rules in the industry are to wait for no one when playing cards. Over there in Guangdong it's ten minutes. Look at the boss, how about ten minutes?"
I thought to myself, this guy with the surname Liu is awesome. He talks things in a polite way, and he also talks in a polite way. There is indeed a saying in the south about selling stolen goods, which is to play cards for ten minutes, and the rules wait for no one.
If the leader wants to say there is no time limit, he will definitely say, "I followed the rules, but you didn't. This is a rebellion against the general."
There is a co-buying shareholder behind Qin Juan, who is the strongest, and Liu is also trying to seize the opportunity.
As a result of this game, the person named Liu won the bid.
The time came before Qin Juan finished calling. As for Wang Ruhai, I guess his upper limit of strength at that time should be around 200.
The boss was not very satisfied. He said that Qin Juan should be able to give a higher price, but if he did, Wang Xiansheng's reputation in the Tao would be bad.
Afterwards, Liu Yuanning and the boss went out. According to the agreement between the two parties, we received more than 650,000. He came to pick up the tower five days later and paid the rest.
When leaving, the man surnamed Liu shook hands with the boss and said: "Wang Boss, my wife has been all-in for half my life. I just bet on this for the rest of my life. I hope nothing goes wrong."
Just tell me you understand, don't worry.
Now that the matter has been settled and we have collected the money, we must take out the contents of the fourth section of the tower within five days.
Generally speaking, the outside of Ashoka Pagoda is protected by a stone letter and an iron letter. Ours has a special origin. It may be regarded as a "human letter?" because this thing was taken out from the belly of the mummy. As for why it is hidden in people's stomachs, I don't know and there is no way to verify it.
Boutou and I studied all night last night and drew up several plans. We tried all the plans the day before, but nothing worked.
Dou Sprout was impatient, and he yelled: "Damn it, it's so hard, I might as well cut it in two with a chainsaw."
I said, Yazai, don't talk nonsense. We have already received the money. How could someone want it if it was cut in half? We might even have to pay liquidated damages to others.
Dou Sprout scratched his head and said: "What should I do? If I were Sun Wukong, I would become smaller and go in to see what is hidden inside."
"Get smaller?"
"Get smaller and go in and take a look?" He suddenly stood up and patted the table, "Yes! Yazai reminded me!"
He immediately asked: "Ya Zai, you used to run boats all year round. You should have seen the plumbers doing repairs on the boats, right?"
Dou Sprout thought thoughtfully for a few minutes, then suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly: "I know the clue. You want to use the endoscope used for ship repair to go into the tower and have a look! Don't you?" Dou Sprout looked excited.
"Good boy, you are not stupid," the head said with a smile.
"But...head," Douyazai seemed to have thought of something again, and he said: "My uncle does have this thing on the boat. It is usually used by mechanics to check the internal corrosion of pipelines and check welding joints. If there is any There will definitely not be enough time to get the logistics here.”
He nodded his head repeatedly and said that Yazai was right. We can only buy this high-tech endoscopic equipment locally.
At that time, the endoscopes on the market were mainly divided into industrial grade and medical grade (don’t think wrongly). Douyazai and I asked people in the local market where we could buy industrial endoscopes.
It was hard to buy this thing. At that time, the local hardware stores in Yinchuan had no stock. Finally, we rented one through a hardware store owner and spent more than a thousand yuan. It was expensive, but there was nothing we could do about it. Maybe we could get it at this price. Bought one.
At this time, the delivery date is getting closer and closer.
That afternoon, I drew a sketch on the paper and drew a pagoda. Then I divided the pagoda into five sections. I pointed my head at the picture and said: "The bottom of the pagoda is solid, and the middle may be hollow. If it is solid, there is no way to hide anything." So we have to use a drill to drill a hole at the bottom of the tower, and then send the endoscopic line into the tower body.”
After hearing this, I asked: "Yes, it is possible, but how will this small hole be repaired and covered up in the end? If it can't be repaired well, I won't be able to communicate with Liu Yuanning."
He told him that it wasn't difficult, we just left the iron filings from the tower. He had already sent experts over, so there was no need to worry about it.
That's it, that night in the room.
A few of us gathered around and started doing it.
