Chen Dong comforted him.
"Uncle, we don't need to get angry with such a petty person. It's just collecting treasury bonds."
"Don't worry, we'll take as many as you have."
"If we don't have enough money, I promise you that in half a month at most, we can come back and collect all the treasury bonds. How about that?"
As he spoke, he asked Jiang Fei and the others to count the remaining funds, and then asked another question.
"Uncle, you know the price we paid for acquiring treasury bonds, right?"
The old man nodded.
"I heard from them that they're buying it at half price."
"Then why are you still selling? Why not wait? I guess you've figured it out by now, we're just a bunch of scalpers, buying treasury bonds here at low prices and then reselling them at high prices."
Hearing this, the old man's expression didn't change, as if he already knew. He looked at Chen Dong and said helplessly.
"A 50% discount is fine. It's better than having it for nothing. Spring is just around the corner, so I can buy some fertilizer."
At this moment, Jiang Fei walked up to Chen Dong and whispered a few words in his ear.
Chen Dong nodded to him, then looked at the old man.
“Uncle, you are my brother-in-law’s cousin, so we are family. I’m going to be frank and say it straight.”
“Before we came, we agreed on a 30% discount with the mine, but Ma Jianguo went back on his word and finally bought it at a 40% discount. As for the others, it was the 50% discount you heard about.”
"Is that how it is? It's such a small place; if you ask around, you'll find out everything."
"We'll buy from all of our relatives in the Lin family and villagers in this village at 70% of the original price. As for people from other villages, no matter who they are, we'll buy from them at 50% of the original price."
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Zhiyuan again.
"Brother-in-law, you'll be going with Brother Fei to collect treasury bonds later. I think you know better than I do who's from this village and who's from another village."
Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and Lin Zhiyuan followed up with a question.
"What if people from other villages also demand the same treatment?"
Chen Dong was speechless. He glanced at the faces of the group and said seriously.
"Remember, this is the first and last time I'll say it."
"Although we are all ticket scalpers, we are also law-abiding citizens. We must never engage in forced buying or selling. If the other party is unwilling to sell, we should not force them, understand?"
"Understood!"
Jiang Fei and the others suppressed their laughter. If they still couldn't understand such an obvious hint, they might as well just kill themselves.
Chen Dong practically told them openly that he would buy it at half price; if they could accept it, they could sell; if not, they could leave.
"But we mustn't let people from other villages look down on our Lin family."
As he spoke, Chen Dong looked at the old man.
"Uncle, this is only because of you..."
At this point, Chen Dong emphasized his words.
"For the sake of my uncle, we can't let people from other villages say bad things about our Lin family."
"If he trusts us and is willing to let us help him sell the tickets, we will buy them all at 70% of the original price, but we can't give him the money. We will give it to him when we come back next time after we have sold them."
"If you don't trust us, don't try to win us over. I, Chen Dong, can't afford to lose face like that."
"clear!"
After hearing this, the old man smiled and wholeheartedly agreed with Chen Dong's suggestion.
Not only did they save face and substance, but a crisis was also averted.
The problem was solved with just a few words, and everyone's eyes were filled with admiration.
Next.
The group split into two groups.
First, he took out 5,000 yuan in cash as travel expenses to go back.
Chen Dong and Lin Zhiming took 5,000 yuan to buy train tickets back home.
The remaining cash was taken by Jiang Fei and the others, who went to the village with the old man.
