"Hello Mr. Ji, I am Zhang Qinglu, and this is my assistant! You are a cheerful person, so let's keep the story short. I heard that you have a copper coin from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. I want to buy it, but my assistant said that you have difficulties there! Do you think this will work? I will rent it for three years, and I will give you a thousand dollars every year. After three years, the copper coin will be returned to Zhao intact. If you agree, we will sign a contract now, what do you think?"
Zhang Qinglu was wearing a black vest, casual pants, and a white shirt, and his every move smelled of foreign ink. Ji Donglai was slightly startled.
Three thousand U.S. dollars. When the U.S. dollar was at its highest point, it was more than 20,000 yuan.
Zheng Wei had given an estimate for this copper coin, which was only thirty to forty thousand. The other party spent so much effort to get the copper coins. Could it be that there is some secret hidden in it?
The more Ji Donglai thought about it, the more he felt the same. He held the tea cup and said nothing for a long time.
"Mr. Ji, do you have any difficulties?"
Seeing that Ji Donglai didn't say anything, Zhang Qinglu couldn't help but speak.
"Can I ask you, what is the secret behind this copper coin that you are so anxious to get? I am not afraid that you know, my house was robbed because of this copper coin. The other party did not hesitate to commit crimes and wanted to find this thing. Could it be that there is some treasure or something? …”
After Ji Dong finished speaking, he looked quietly into Zhang Qinglu's eyes. The other party was slightly surprised and looked at the assistant, who felt embarrassed.
"Although Mr. Ji is young, he has read many martial arts novels... I don't mean to belittle you! Only ignorant people will believe these things! To tell you the truth, our ancestral home is here, but we had to live overseas because of the war! "
"Have I not been back in the past two years? We have completed the procedures with the local department and many of the things at home have been returned! Our family temple needs to be rebuilt on the original site. The old man is old and in poor health. According to the master’s advice, I need to find a copper coin like yours!”
"Wear it for at least three years, otherwise it will be difficult for the elderly to pass the test. Aren't you also wearing it for the elderly?"
Zhang Qinglu was very proud when he spoke and pointed to the sign on the wall, which meant that this was also his family's property.
Ji Donglai said something casually that Ji Donglai seemed to have said yesterday. Ji Donglai secretly cursed, thinking that I was just talking casually, but I didn't expect this thing to actually have such an effect.
But he didn't fully believe the other party's statement. Zhang Qinglu also noticed it and simply asked his assistant to drive Ji Donglai. Half an hour later, the group entered Dongcheng.
In front of a seemingly small courtyard, several people pushed the door in and saw a large courtyard. Although many buildings fell to the ground and some were still under construction, judging from the scale, this The owner of the yard used to be either rich or noble.
Five-in-one yard! This alone makes Ji Donglai envious.
"My old man is in the innermost yard. He is not in good health now and sees no outsiders! Once construction can start here in the spring, we will start repairs on time... By the way, Mr. Ji has a group of people who will do the demolition and repairs. Is it your job? If Mr. Ji is willing to give up, the demolition and repair work of this house will belong to you. What do you think? My family really needs this copper coin!"
Seeing Ji Donglai still undecided, Zhang Qinglu looked around and felt a slight movement in his heart. Ji Donglai also followed suit.
The project at the factory is almost finished, and the gang under him will be disbanded next. This is not a good thing, so why not take the opportunity to find something to do for the gang under him.
After all, if a person wants to succeed, the most important thing is to support a group of skilled people.
"Okay, let's do this. You don't have to pay three years' worth of this copper coin in one lump sum. You have to pay it once a year. If anything happens to you, the copper coin will be returned to me. You don't have to pay me the next year's money! In addition, should we also sign a contract for demolition and renovation?”
"To be honest, I prepared the copper coins for the elderly at home. The reason why I came out last time to find someone to identify them was to find out what would happen if it was not good for the elderly! My elderly are still strong, so let's lend them to Mr. Zhang first. Use it, but we agreed that you must return it to me, you can’t lose it!”
For Ji Donglai, that copper coin was actually a tool for cashing out, and the rest had no meaning. Ji Donglai had always looked at things like ghosts and gods very lightly.
Having said so much is just to find an excuse for myself. The most important thing now is to study and establish my own business.
"Okay, Mr. Ji is a temperamental person, so let's do this, pay once a year! In order to prevent the loss of copper coins, we will deposit a sum of money in the bank in Mr. Ji's name, just in case, I mean just in case, If the copper coins are really lost because of our poor storage, we will compensate the loss ten times, and Mr. Ji can take the money away at once!"
"Our family will never do something that violates our conscience..."
Finally getting the copper coins, Zhang Qinglu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the elderly in the family are crucial to the entire family's business. Compared to the family's business, Ji Donglai's small amount of money is nothing at all.
As for the demolition and repair of old houses, it is also a wish of the elderly.
It’s the same no matter who the job is done for, but the difference is that Ji Donglai has a group of knowledgeable people under him. Before making an appointment with Ji Donglai, Zhang Qinglu had already sent someone to investigate all the information about Ji Donglai.
Including everyone under his command, among them Lao Wu's past details were very clear to the other party, and he did this.
After getting the contract and bank book, Ji Dong went to the bank and changed the password. Then he took Zhang Qinglu's assistant to the company to withdraw the copper coins.
At the scene, Lao Wu took photos of Ji Donglai and the other party to prevent trouble later, and then Ji Donglai took Lao Wu to Zhang Qinglu's old house to survey.
"Mr. Ji, I wish us a happy cooperation. If you have anything to do in the future, you can call me. We often come and go. If you find a treasure exactly like this copper coin in the future, please inform me as soon as possible. I will definitely thank you very much!"
In the luxury hotel, Zhang Qinglu raised his glass to Ji Donglai, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Mr. Zhang is serious. This kind of treasure is hard to come by. I believe that everything is God's best arrangement. You can do whatever you want with me!"
Ji Donglai's style of doing things has never been Ji Donglai's style of doing things, and his words made Zhang Qinglu think more highly of him.
In particular, Ji Donglai's calm style is difficult to see in young people of the same age.
If he hadn't investigated Ji Donglai's family clearly, Zhang Qinglu would have thought that Ji Donglai was a child of a wealthy family in the capital.
