Chapter 713 Zhou Ziwen's Deterrence
"Brother, can I ask why you insisted on buying this leopard skin? You should have noticed that I planned to keep it for myself and not sell it."
Zhou Ziwen looked at the middle-aged man curiously.
Although the price offered by the other party was very high, it even far exceeded the value of the leopard skin itself.
But Zhou Ziwen was not really planning to sell it. After all, he was not short of money, and this thing would be worth a lot of money when he got it.
You know, in a few years, not to mention leopards, even sparrows will become protected animals.
At that time, it will be illegal to hunt these prey.
Zhou Ziwen also wanted to save more precious animal furs while it was still legal.
By the time you get there, this thing won’t be common anymore.
"Brother, this leopard skin is really important to me. My father-in-law is turning 60 soon, and he loves collecting this kind of precious fur."
Seeing that Zhou Ziwen seemed to be giving in, the middle-aged man had no choice but to explain.
In fact, there are some things he hasn't said yet. His father-in-law is not an ordinary person. The reason why he married his wife was because of his father-in-law.
Including his current position, he got it all thanks to his father-in-law.
This time, it’s his father-in-law’s 60th birthday. If he can make his father-in-law happy, maybe he can still move forward in his current position.
Of course, he would not tell Zhou Ziwen about these things.
"Oh? So it's a gift for someone!"
Zhou Ziwen nodded in understanding, then changed the subject, "Brother, you know I'm not going to sell this leopard skin. I really like it and plan to keep it as a family heirloom. You're asking me to give it up now, which is a bit difficult..."
Zhou Ziwen frowned, looking very conflicted.
"Brother, I know you're in a difficult situation. How about I offer a high price, triple it?"
Hearing Zhou Ziwen's words, the middle-aged man was not surprised but happy.
His father-in-law's 60th birthday is approaching, but he still hasn't found a suitable birthday gift.
Zhou Ziwen's leopard skin appeared at the right time, and he was willing to buy it no matter how much money it cost.
"three times?"
Zhou Chaoyang on the side exclaimed.
"Yes, I'll pay three times as much, how about 500 yuan?" the middle-aged man said affirmatively.
"Five hundred dollars is indeed a lot, but I plan to keep this leopard skin as a family heirloom..."
Zhou Ziwen was a little confused.
"Six hundred, how about six hundred dollars?"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen's dilemma, the middle-aged man raised the price again.
"Hey, big brother, I see you really like this leopard skin. So, if you give me one thousand, I will sell it to you."
Looking at the middle-aged man's anxious expression, Zhou Ziwen finally gave in.
To be honest, although a leopard skin is quite expensive at one thousand yuan, in Zhou Ziwen's opinion, whoever makes a profit from it will make a lot of money.
In this era, this leopard skin is indeed very expensive.
Generally speaking, skins like leopards and tigers can be bought for just a few dozen or a hundred yuan in this day and age.
But that’s just the way it is today.
If you put it in the future, it will be valuable.
But Zhou Ziwen also had his considerations.
Although leopard skin is precious and valuable, that will come in the future.
He doesn't have much money now.
And with his ability, it’s not impossible for him to get it.
Since this big brother wanted to buy it so much, he also wanted to take this opportunity to sell it for more money.
As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth a thousand in the bush.
If this guy is really willing to pay a thousand dollars, he will really sell it.
"one thousand?"
When Zhou Ziwen said this, not only was the middle-aged man shocked, but even Zhou Chaoyang next to him opened his mouth wide.
One thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. For an average family, it would be good if they can save one hundred yuan a year.
One thousand yuan is enough for them to save for ten years.
However, for a middle-aged man, although one thousand yuan is a lot, it is not unaffordable.
Just looking at Zhou Ziwen's confident look, he felt like he was being taken advantage of.
"Yes, that's one thousand. If you want it, take it."
Zhou Ziwen looked at the middle-aged man leisurely, as if he had him in his hands.
In fact, Zhou Ziwen really had him in his grasp.
It can be seen from the middle-aged man's anxious look that the leopard skin is very important to him.
But if Zhou Ziwen sold it for less, he would feel like he was losing out. Since someone wanted it, he simply offered a sky-high price.
If the middle-aged man really bought it, he would not lose anything.
With this thousand yuan, at least he won't be short of money in the countryside in the next few years.
From now on, I'll go to the black market every now and then to sell some wild game. In a few years, I should be able to make a lot of money.
This money will be the starting capital for him to return to the city in the future.
"Little brother, this one thousand yuan is too much. How about seven hundred? I'll give you seven hundred."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while and began to bargain with Zhou Ziwen.
"Brother, it's just one thousand yuan. I won't sell it for less than one thousand yuan."
Zhou Ziwen refused without hesitation.
On the side, Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen with some admiration.
He also realized that his brother Zhou was sure to get this guy!
"Okay! One thousand is one thousand! I'll buy it, but I don't have that much money on me. Can you come back with me to get it?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, let's go get it with you!"
Faced with the middle-aged man's invitation, Zhou Ziwen nodded indifferently.
His appearance made the middle-aged man a little confused about where he came from.
Although Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang both had a face scarf tied on their faces, it was not very useful. The middle-aged man could tell that they were not very old.
After agreeing on the price, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang packed up their things and left with the middle-aged man.
"By the way, little brother, how did you kill this leopard?"
On the way, the middle-aged man asked curiously.
"Oh, I went fishing this afternoon, and when I was about to go back, I was ambushed by this guy. As a result, of course, I beat him to death with one punch."
Zhou Ziwen answered casually.
"Killed with one punch?" The middle-aged man was a little unconvinced.
"If you don't believe me, just watch."
Zhou Ziwen looked at him meaningfully, then picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, squeezed it with his hand, and the hard stone instantly shattered into pieces like soil.
Zhou Ziwen rubbed the gravel in his hand, and a cloud of sand and dust leaked through his fingers.
"I've been practicing boxing since I was a child, and now I've achieved some success. I can kill a leopard with just one punch."
Zhou Ziwen clapped his hands and glanced at the middle-aged man casually.
But this look of his put great pressure on the middle-aged man.
Originally, he had some other thoughts in his mind, but when he saw the stone that Zhou Ziwen had just crushed, he lost all thoughts.
And this is exactly the purpose of Zhou Ziwen showing his strength.
He was a man who loved trouble, especially in a situation like this.
After all, it's only a thousand yuan. Even if it were him, he might not be willing to spend it.
He was not sure whether the middle-aged man had any bad intentions.
It's not that he was afraid, but he felt there was no need to make things so complicated.
For example, now, no matter whether this middle-aged man has any bad intentions or not, after he shows his strength, even if he has any bad intentions, they will probably disappear now.
