1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"I am Chen Tiezhu. Who are you?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion.

Those who can afford Santana these days must be rich or noble. Could it be because of the fertilizer issue?

"Hello, hello, it seems that I have found the right person. I heard that you have a lightning-struck jujube tree here. Can I take a look? I want to buy it." The young man who got off the car hurriedly said.

"It is said that there is, but how did you know it?" Chen Tiezhu was even more puzzled.

"My father heard it from a friend, and this friend also heard it from others. Don't worry, after I have seen it, as long as the appearance is good, the price is not a problem." The young man continued.

Chen Tiezhu nodded, "I did spread the word. Then you can come in and take a look, but you can find our village, which is also amazing."

"No, no, it's really because you are famous. I will know it after asking." The young man said with a smile.

This young man is good at talking. Chen Tiezhu was very happy to hear these words.

"Tiezhu, is this your friend?"

At this time, Li Yinglin came out of the house holding the little confused kid.

Seeing his police uniform, the young man was instinctively stunned.

"It can be regarded as a friend I just met. He came to me to buy art." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"Yes, I came to buy art from our young master." The young man hurriedly added.

"What art? Can the treasure be sold?" Li Yinglin was anxious all of a sudden, thinking that he was going to sell the Dongzhu.

"I thought wrong, it was a lightning-struck jujube tree." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

While talking, he also came into the house, "It's on the ground, and the other half has been burned. Anyway, it's not worth much."

"Burn, burn it?" The young man asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I made a fire. I found it when I was collecting firewood. People said that the remaining dead thing could be sold as a work of art, so I didn't burn it." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

I didn't want people to go to the mountain to find the jujube tree after the news spread. I took half of it, that's enough.

Li Yinglin next to him blinked his eyes, it turned out to be this work of art.

And the young man picked up the jujube tree and looked at the cross section carefully.

"Oh..., it's a pity, it's a pity, it would be better if the roots were dug out. Look at this cross section, it's still growing." The young man said.

"Still digging roots, who dares to go to Erdaoling to find roots? That's just asking for death." Chen Tiezhu said with a pout.

"This is it. There are wild boar hairs on it. It's probably because the wild boar had a fight with someone and knocked it off. Those who can fight with wild boars are good people."

He said carelessly and winked at Li Yinglin.

"Are the wild boars in your mountain making trouble again?" Li Yinglin understood.

"That's right. They are very fierce. I didn't dare to touch the mountain at night. The elk in the house was probably scratched by a tiger." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"By the way, little brother, see how much this thing can be sold for. If you give a suitable price, I won't let my friend look for someone outside."

"I forgot to introduce myself, Brother Chen, my name is Zhou Fengxia, Xia in Daxia, not Xia in Caixia. My family is in the antique jade business." Zhou Fengxia said hurriedly.

"This tree has good veins. It can be made into a sword as an ornament. Let me give you a high price, one thousand yuan."

"Hiss..."

Li Yinglin took a breath of cold air. This half of a broken tree can be sold for one thousand yuan?

Is he not misled?

On the contrary, Chen Tiezhu was happy, "Brother Zhou, don't bully me for not knowing the market. Although I am in the village, I also know the value of art."

"Just these branches on the trunk, if cut well, can also be cut into a work of art worth hundreds of yuan. If you make a big product like a sword, you will give us one thousand yuan, isn't it a little too little?"

"I'm ashamed, Brother Chen may have heard it from others, but these works of art also need to meet the right people." Zhou Fengxia said seriously.

"It's possible to meet in three to five days, or it's possible not to meet in three to five months. But since Brother Chen said so, I'll add another 500 yuan."

"This price is already the highest price I can offer, and only I can offer such a high price. Brother Chen can also ask friends to see how the price is. Otherwise, Brother Chen, please name a price."

"The fortune teller told me that I have a predestined relationship with the number five in this life." Chen Tiezhu said, raising his right hand and spreading his five fingers.

Not to mention Li Yinglin, even Han Zhenwen, who was trying to pick up soybeans and listening to him, was shocked by his report.The price was shocking.

It was obviously not 500 yuan, but 5,000 yuan.

This is a lion's mouth.

"Brother Chen, your price is really too high, I really can't afford it." Zhou Fengxia said with a wry smile.

"Hahaha, it's okay, take your time. Art is all about fate." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Brother Chen, that's it for now, sorry to bother you."

Zhou Fengxia put down the jujube tree reluctantly, and then took out a business card from his leather jacket, "This is my home phone number, if you change your mind, you can call me directly."

"Okay, I don't have a phone here. If you change your mind, just call our village and you can find me." Chen Tiezhu took the business card with a smile.

The positioning of Zhou Fengxia in his heart was also raised to a higher level.

This is a man who has seen the world, otherwise there are not many people with business cards in this era.

"Brother, how valuable is this thing when it's so old?"

After Zhou Fengxia left, Li Yinglin hurriedly asked.

"Actually, I don't know how much it's worth, but my prediction is that the price should be above 5,000 yuan." Chen Tiezhu thought for a while and said.

"Brother Chen, do you understand this? Just predict it upwards?" This time it was Han Zhenwen's turn to be curious.

"Just think about it, he offered 1,000 yuan at the beginning, I made up a random reason, and he added 500 yuan. If he doesn't make two or three times the profit this time, is he still going to waste it?" Chen Tiezhu asked back.

"This..., it seems to be true." Han Zhenwen said after a slight hesitation.

"You didn't ask for a random price just because he drove a Santana?" Li Yinglin asked hesitantly.

Chen Tiezhu was happy, "He heard the news and wanted to take advantage of me, but it's not that good. But it also proves that our tree is really worth some money."

"We have to plan it carefully to maximize the profit. The best way is to auction it and let them raise the price themselves."

Li Yinglin and Han Zhenwen didn't know what to say. Chen Tiezhu was thinking too much.
