"Fifty million."
Lin Han was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
The man was startled, and after a moment he said:
"That makes sense..."
He paused and said, "It's just that I can't get that much money together in a short time."
Lin Han was accustomed to this kind of cliché.
"Then there is no other way. You must know the origin of this book... Not a cent less than 50 million."
The man frowned slightly and held the book tightly, not wanting to let go.
He was determined to get the book.
But he really couldn't come up with 50 million at once.
The man hesitantly put the book down, then stood up and went to the next room.
After a while, he came out holding something golden.
"I don't have that much money on hand right now, but I want this book. It's just a deposit. If it's not enough, I'll give you some more."
As the man spoke, he poured what he had in his hand in front of Lin Han.
It turned out to be a handful of golden melon seeds.
Golden melon seeds are made of gold.
The golden pumpkin seeds on the market now are not very realistic in shape, but because of their high purity,
So it can be considered hard currency.
Although the purity of the golden melon seeds in front of me cannot reach 99%, their shape is lifelike.
Each melon seed has edges and corners on it, and some are even slightly open, as if the kernel inside is about to come out.
Lin Han took a quick look.
These golden melon seeds are from the Republic of China. Each one weighs five grams, and the current gold price is about four hundred.
The gold melon seeds in front of me are worth about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan in gold alone.
If its cultural relic attribute is taken into account, its value should be around 150,000 or 160,000 yuan.
hiss……
Lin Han raised his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man.
Although for something worth 50 million, a deposit of 150,000 or 160,000 is reasonable.
But the man's frank and unreserved attitude still shocked Lin Han.
After all, I'm used to being in the business world and have seen a lot of people who are dishonest and cunning.
Lin Han immediately asked for a piece of paper and pen, signed for the golden melon seeds, and wrote down the payment deadline.
The middle-aged man read the note up and down, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"I will definitely gather 50 million within three days."
Lin Han nodded: "It's a deal, I'll wait for you!"
Afterwards, he left his address, took the book, and left Daojia Village with Zhuang Yao.
On the way back, Zhuang Yao was puzzled.
The weird blind old man, the identity of the middle-aged man, and the spooky lantern in his house.
The strangest thing is that despite all the difficulties at the beginning, the subsequent conversation with the middle-aged man went unusually smoothly.
"It's really unpredictable!"
Zhuang Yao sighed and asked Lin Han whether the middle-aged man would fulfill his promise.
"Probably. Judging from his expression, he is determined to get this book."
"But fifty million is not a small amount."
Lin Han did not comment: "At worst, we can find a new buyer and get a handful of golden melon seeds for free!"
When it comes to golden melon seeds, Zhuang Yao is very interested.
I held it in my hand and played with it carefully for a long time.
Lin Han thought of the tiger bone in his trouser pocket and asked Zhuang Yao if she knew anyone from the Chinese medicine clinic.
He wants to sell the remaining tiger bones.
Zhuang Yao thought about it and said that the family of one of her male classmates ran a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
"It's not big, an average Chinese medicine clinic can't afford so many tiger bones."
Zhuang Yao dodged a little and pursed her lips: "It's Jishidiang, you... don't really want to go there, do you?"
Um?
Lin Han turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Yao.
The fearless woman now had a shy look on her face, as if she didn't want to be mentioned to anyone.
"Of course I'm going! Call your classmates and we'll sell the tiger bones tomorrow!"
"Okay... okay."? ?
Lin Han suddenly had an idea and joked:
"Could it be that the male classmate is your suitor?"
It was originally a half-true and half-false joke, but he unexpectedly came right.
Zhuang Yao showed a look of disgust: "He did pursue me, but I don't like him... Otherwise, let's go to another Chinese medicine clinic!"
But Lin Han disagreed.
Jishidiang is very famous, not only in China, but also abroad, where its business is booming.
This century-old shop has research on tiger bones and can make full use of them.
As for the male classmate who had pursued Zhuang Yao, Lin Han didn't take him seriously.
It's just a trivial matter, who cares?
He is going to do business, not to fall in love!
The two drove back to Shangjing city overnight.
After running around all night, the two were starving.
We found a breakfast shop on the side of the road, had breakfast, and then drove back to the villa.
In the yard, Zhuang Kaiyuan was practicing Tai Chi. Strangely, Zhuang Xiao, who never practiced early in the morning, actually accompanied him for the first time.
As soon as they saw Lin Han and Zhuang Yao, they stopped what they were doing at the same time.
Zhuang Kaiyuan looked at his tired daughter but did not say any words of blame.
"Another sleepless night? Go back and get some rest!"
Zhuang Yao said happily, and pulled Lin Han inside.
Zhuang Xiao was tired of it and asked:
“Did the book sell?”
Zhuang Yao continued walking and said loudly:
"The buyer has paid the deposit! Come buy the book within three days!"
What?
Such big news, and this little girl Zhuang Yao didn't even confess on her own initiative?
Zhuang Kaiyuan quickly followed behind Lin Han, grabbed his arm and asked:
"Is it true? Someone really bought it? Who was it?"
Zhuang Xiao was nervous and very unhappy when he saw that his father took it so seriously.
"Dad! Didn't you listen? It's just a deposit. It's not certain whether you will buy it or not!"
As they were talking, the four of them had already entered the villa.
While instructing the nanny to prepare some drinks and fruits, Zhuang Yao told Zhuang Xiao,
The buyer has already paid 150,000 or 160,000 gold melon seeds, and he will definitely buy the book within three days!
"What, golden pumpkin seeds?"
When Zhuang Xiao saw the golden melon seeds that Zhuang Yao took out, he burst out laughing.
"You are just kids! There are a lot of these golden pumpkin seeds in the antique market! They are not worth a penny!"
"And buy books. How much does he plan to spend?"
Zhuang Yao blinked: "Fifty million!"
Zhuang Xiao was even more unconvinced.
A book of unknown origin, although Lin Han called it a strange book, in Zhuang Xiao's opinion,
It's just very dirty.
He and his father accepted the loss of 10 million and that was it.
But Lin Han wanted to be in the spotlight, so he volunteered to go out and sell books!
It has failed to sell after three attempts, and now they are bringing up the deposit and golden melon seeds!
Anyone who can really spend 50 million to buy goods will definitely not use gold melon seeds, which are as trivial as playing with children, as a deposit!
Zhuang Xiao turned to Zhuang Kaiyuan and said calmly:
"Dad, this book can sell for 50 million, do you believe it?"
hiss……
Zhuang Kaiyuan was at a loss for a moment.
Although he has been competitive all his life, he is also a businessman. In business, there are wins and losses. Losing is losing, and he can look at it rationally.
He spent 10 million to buy this book.
Lin Han can sell it for 50 million.
Zhuang Kaiyuan really couldn't believe it.
"Yaoyao, Han'er, I know how hard you two have worked. Just sell this book, no matter how much money you make."
"It doesn't matter if I can't sell it. I'm over 60 years old, not a child anymore. I can only win, not lose."
When Zhuang Yao heard her father's tone, her face immediately turned red:
"What? The buyer will come to buy the book within three days! Fifty million!"
