When Xie Xuan spoke, he stared specifically into Hong Mei's eyes.
Ten thousand yuan per minute is of course outrageous, so outrageous that Xie Xuan thought it was a joke.
He just wanted to know who Hong Mei was.
There was no panic or fear in Hong Mei's eyes, only a hint of anger flashed through her eyes.
Obviously, it wasn't that Hong Mei couldn't afford such an outrageous phone bill, she just felt it wasn't worth it.
If she could only afford a hundred yuan or a thousand yuan at most, she would be horrified when she heard that a one-minute phone call cost ten thousand yuan.
And if she can spend 10,000 yuan, she will be angry. After all, the phone bill is so high and it is not worth it.
Nowadays, when sending a telegram, each word is worth one silver dollar. Even if it is converted into legal currency, it will only be five or six legal coins at most, right? One word on this phone call, even at the fastest speed, is estimated to cost dozens of French currency.
Hong Mei asked: "Director Xie, how much does it cost to release him?"
"We are all Chinese. It would be unconscionable to charge you for letting you go. ... Let's do this. I will only charge you for phone bills, room and board, medical expenses and other specific expenses. Once you pay them off, you can I can leave."
When Hong Mei heard Xie Xuan's previous words, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, but after listening, her face turned dark.
Can ordinary people afford the 10,000-minute phone call fee?
As long as she made a call, Xie Xuan would be guaranteed a minimum of ten thousand or even twenty thousand, which was enough for him to let her go.
Even the phone bill is sky-high, and the food, accommodation and medical expenses are definitely not cheap either.
It is estimated that the bowl of porridge just now can bankrupt a well-off family.
Hong Mei said calmly: "How many people can afford Director Xie's phone bill?"
"As long as you can afford it."
Hong Mei asked: "Okay, how do you charge for room and board? How do you charge for medical expenses?"
That Dr. Zhu really has a kind heart, but Xie Xuan's conscience is probably eaten by dogs.
The best way to deal with such a villain is to use the villain's method and only talk about interests and not emotions. If you talk to a traitorous spy about your conscience and patriotism, it's like playing the harp to an ox.
"The environment here is more than 10,000 times better than the detention center of the Gendarmerie. You can move around freely in the house. Everyone can sleep on the bed. When you are tired, you can sit and rest. There is tea to drink and you can wash your hands and face. Take a shower. You won’t get scolded or beaten. I charge you a thousand yuan a day. Isn’t that expensive?”
Hong Mei tried her best to suppress her inner anger and said calmly: "But I have to starve."
Xie Xuan said with a smile: "If you live well, I will definitely let you eat well. Not only must you eat well, but you must also be well fed."
Hong Mei interrupted: "What about the fees?"
There is nothing to say to Xie Xuan. Others hurt their feelings when they talked about money, but he was hurt when they didn't have money, and it was easy to talk to him when he had money.
Xie Xuan stretched out a finger, sighed, and said: "One meal... no, how about a thousand a day? I guarantee that there will be fish and meat every day, which is rich in nutrients and the body will recover quickly. As for the medical expenses, you guys You also know that I paid money and took a huge risk to hire a famous doctor from Shenpu. I charge you one thousand each. Isn’t that excessive? This is life-saving. If you don’t eat, you will starve to death without treatment. Injury, you may die of illness. We are all Chinese and I don’t want to embarrass you. The charges are really low and you have really earned it.”
Hong Mei no longer wanted to talk to him. Such a person would be beaten to death outside.
However, she had to talk to Xie Xuan: "Director Xie, since everyone is Chinese, can the Chinese not cheat the Chinese and let me make a free phone call? You won't have free things here. The price Can it be cheaper? You always charge one thousand yuan, how about one thousand yuan for just one phone call?"
Nowadays, telephone calls are paid on a monthly basis. From now on, no matter how many calls you make, they will be free of charge. Charging like Xie Xuan on a per-time and per-minute basis is simply a money grab.
"You can't make a phone call easily. How much risk do I have to take to allow you to communicate directly with the outside world? Ordinarily, I shouldn't charge you money, but you are embarrassed not to give me the risk, right? So, I You don’t charge by the minute. Just give me 10,000 yuan in total. However, the time cannot be too long. I have the right to cut off the call at any time. You ask the other side to prepare the money, and I will send someone to get it. "
"Director Xie..., you said you can leave after paying the room, board and medical expenses. We just came here and we haven't eaten anything. Do we only need to pay a thousand yuan for medical expenses and we can go back?"
Before Hong Mei could speak, the taller one of the four men suddenly stood up and asked.
His name is Huang Ziliang, he is a broker, a member of a gang, and he also does smuggling. He was arrested by the gendarmerie for reselling prohibited goods.
"Since you are here, you have to pay for at least one day's accommodation. As for meals, as long as you are here, you have to pay for them."
Huang Ziliang asked: "So, for every day we stay, we should be given at least two thousand?"
"right."
Huang Ziliang asked again: "What if I can't afford it?"
Xie Xuan said calmly: "You only have three days. After three days, if you don't pay, you will return it to the gendarmerie."
Huang Ziliang asked: "If we give three thousand today, can we leave?"
The four men were all brokers, with him as the leader.
Xie Xuan nodded: "Of course."
When he heard this, he realized there was something wrong. Huang Ziliang was talking about "us". If the four of them left together, it would be 12,000, and the deal would not be a loss.
"Sister Mei, can you please prepare an extra ten thousand yuan... Director Xie, how about a discount of two thousand yuan for the four of us to go together?"
Huang Ziliang first told Hong Mei, then suddenly turned to Xie Xuan.
The total of the four of them is 12,000. If they go together, it should be 2,000 cheaper.
It's like when they purchase goods, the price is the same if they purchase goods individually, but if they are bundled together, they can get a 10% or 20% discount.
Xie Xuan said happily: "Okay."
Huang Ziliang cupped his hands towards Hong Mei and said, "Thank you very much. Sister Mei, can you please prepare an extra 10,000 yuan? I will give it to you as soon as I get out."
Hong Mei said: "They are all Chinese, so I helped them."
Staying here for one more day costs two thousand yuan. Even she doesn't want to bear such a price. It's too damn expensive.
She glanced at Xie Xuan again and said insinuatingly: "It's not like some people who only care about money and don't know if they have a conscience."
Xie Xuan suddenly said: "I know who you are."
Huang Ziliang's "Sister Mei" suddenly reminded him of a person. This person was not an ordinary person, and he could make all the difference in Shenpu.
Xie Xuan regrets it now. If he had known that Hong Mei was "Sister Mei", he should not have treated her like this.
The offer is too low!
Ten thousand yuan for a phone call is not suitable for Sister Mei's status, but it would be fine if it was doubled.
