Chapter 398
Erbo Cat was standing at the door of the store, leaning forward with his ears almost touching the window of the store, carefully eavesdropping on Grandpa Wei's conversation.
Grandpa Wei's voice was sometimes high and sometimes low, and Second Uncle couldn't hear clearly, but from the occasional sentences he said, he could tell that things were developing in a favorable direction, which made him so happy that the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
After a while, Grandpa Wei hung up the phone. Before he walked out of the store, Second Uncle ran a few steps, then suddenly turned around and pretended to be walking towards this side.
When Grandpa Wei stepped out of the store, Second Uncle greeted him warmly: "Uncle Wei, good morning!"
Grandpa Wei responded with a smile, his face wrinkled with joy: "I just finished talking to my son on the phone, and was just about to come look for you!"
The second uncle asked calmly, "Oh? Did your son agree to sell the yard?"
Grandpa Wei nodded, sighed, and said, "Yes, he said that everything in the city is so expensive now, and no matter how much we earn, it's not enough to spend. This yard is useless if it stays idle, so it would be best if we could sell it and make money to use it."
"That's great! Did your son tell us how much he wants it to sell for?" Uncle Er asked, unable to contain his excitement.
"He said he wants to sell it for 1,000 yuan, which seems a bit high. I don't know if you can accept it. But he will be back soon and can talk to you in person."
Second uncle said in surprise: "He's coming back?"
“Yes, as soon as I told you that you wanted to buy the yard, he immediately said that he would rush back to meet with you.
I'll go to the station later to see if there are any tickets left. After I buy the tickets, he'll call me and tell me, "I've already told Azhi, please answer the phone for me."
Grandpa Wei had originally made preparations for both of his sons not to come back for the New Year. Now that his youngest son said he wanted to come back, he was very happy and thought about telling his wife quickly to prepare more delicious food.
"Okay, I'll tell Ah Zheng the news. We'll talk about it slowly after your son comes back."
The second uncle came back and told everyone what had happened. Before he even finished speaking, several uncles were furious and started shouting "exorbitant".
Uncle Si frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "He only spent a hundred yuan to buy the land. Although he paved the ground and built a house, plus the bribe to Old Wei, the total cost was only a little over four hundred yuan.
Although everything has gone up in price in recent years, his yard has been abandoned for two years, so it's a bit of a conflict. Now he wants to sell it for double the price, which is too shady!"
Uncle Qi was also there: "I think he's just raising the price because Zheng's business is so big. We can't just go along with him. At worst, we can just look for someone else.
There are still a lot of vacant land around the village. We can invite our relatives to work there, which will reduce the wages and help us meet the deadlines."
Su Miao listened quietly to everyone's discussion, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
She felt that one thousand yuan was not particularly expensive for the expansion of the factory. She thought that it would cost eight or nine thousand to buy a small yard in the city.
But being able to afford it is one thing, and being asked for an exorbitant price is another. We can't set this precedent and give everyone the impression that they are easy to cheat, which will cause trouble later.
Su Yuanzheng said, "This is probably just an estimate. Didn't he say he'd come back? That means there's still room for negotiation. When he comes back, we can negotiate. If we can't get the price down, forget it and look for something else.
If he's willing to surrender, we can still take him down even if we're not much higher up. After all, the ground he's on is hardened, so we can save a lot of time. What do you think, Miaomiao?"
Hearing his father's question, Su Miao nodded in agreement with his idea: "I think Dad is right. It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, but it can't be doubled like it is now.
And I think the chances of getting the deal are very high. Uncle Wei didn't even come back during the Chinese New Year, but as soon as he heard that someone wanted to buy the yard, he rushed back without stopping.
First of all, it proves that he is not unable to come back because of some important matter, but maybe he simply does not want to come back.
Furthermore, his eager attitude may also indicate that his current financial situation is not good and that this income is very important to him.
Another reason why he was in a hurry to come back and negotiate on his own was that he wanted to get the money directly. In this case, there was a lot of room for negotiation.
We tried to be calm and not too anxious, and then hinted to him that we had other options. He might get anxious and even lower the price himself."
Su Miao's analysis was logically clear and well-reasoned, leaving the adults stunned.
Second uncle couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I told you, Miaomiao will always find a way."
So, everyone started discussing how to bargain appropriately, and the rest waited for Wei Lao Er to come back.
At noon, Zhi Ge hurried over to report: "Dad, Uncle Shi, I just received a call from Uncle Wei Er. He said that he couldn't buy a ticket for today. He will leave early tomorrow and will be back in the afternoon."
The second uncle, who had already discussed the countermeasures, nodded calmly: "No hurry, no hurry, we are waiting for him."
That tone, as if everything is under control.
The next afternoon, Wei Laoer indeed rushed back exhausted.
He was walking in a hurry, without his wife and children. He was only carrying a black travel bag, and his face was tired from the journey.
After returning home and putting down the package, he rushed to his second uncle's house without even asking how his parents were doing.
Su Yuanzheng and others were shocked when they saw him. After just a few years, Uncle Wei's appearance had changed so much.
He looks thin and listless. Although he is less than 40 years old, he has already grown a lot of white hair, as if the years have drained away his vitality.
Standing in front of Su Yuanzheng, who was almost a few years older than him, he looked like he was ten years older, extremely haggard, and most importantly, he had lost his energy.
Uncle Wei had a big smile on his face, but that smile was filled with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.
After a few absent-minded pleasantries, he began to talk about the yard: "I heard from my dad that Ah Zheng wants to buy my yard to build a factory? That's really good news.
I originally thought it was a shame that the yard was left abandoned, so it’s great that you can use it again.”
Su Yuanzheng also responded with a smile: "Yes, we want to build a small factory in the village. Your yard is in a good location, but it has been abandoned for a long time. It will take a lot of effort to clean it up.
Yesterday, Uncle Wei said the yard would cost 1,000 yuan, which we thought was a bit expensive. We went out for a look this morning and decided that buying another piece of land for rebuilding would be about the same price. It all depends on us discussing it with you.
After hearing Su Yuanzheng's words, Wei Laoer's face froze. Is he interested in another piece of land?
No! He has come back with great difficulty, he doesn’t want to return empty-handed!
