Chapter 138 Buy
The parents of this family are honest people and do not want to sell.
"This was left by the child's father. I'm used to it and I can't bear to sell it like this."
It is normal to not want to sell old items that you are used to and have feelings for.
Li Zhuo took a look at their son and saw that he was in his thirties and his eyes were more lively.
Li Zhuo smiled and said to him:
"If you need money urgently, this is an opportunity."
The elder brother suddenly lost his composure. Indeed, since there was no such shop in this village, it was indeed a rare opportunity for someone to be willing to spend money to buy something that didn't matter to him.
He turned around and asked:
"Dad, where did our pot come from?"
The old man thought about it and said:
"It was a long time ago, forty or fifty years ago. Your grandfather bought it in a big store in Hankou. He said it was a good thing, but because he spent a lot of money, he was scolded by your grandma.
”
Store bought?
The elder brother was a little discouraged after hearing this. You can buy it in stores. How good can this be?
But it cost a lot of money back then, and it should be quite valuable now, right?
The elder brother asked Li Zhuo:
"Brother, do you know what this is?"
Li Zhuo only knew that it was chosen by a parrot and was probably quite valuable, but he really couldn't tell what it was.
He spread his hands:
"I can't figure it out either, it's just a teapot anyway."
The elder brother said:
"Brother, how about you give me a price?"
Li Zhuo asked the old man next to him:
"Uncle, how much did your father spend when he bought this pot?"
The old man shook his head:
"My grandfather didn't tell me. At that time, my mother scolded me so fiercely that he didn't dare to use it. He didn't mention it again until he died."
Li Zhuo nodded and said:
"The uncle also said that this was bought from a store. It cannot be an antique. It is something we usually use. It was expensive at the time. I will give it a decent price now. Do you think 100,000 is fine?"
As soon as the price was mentioned, the elder brother immediately became a little excited.
If he is willing to spend so much money to buy things for his pet, it is obvious that this young man is really rich.
Who can have too much money? He wants more.
He said to Li Zhuo:
"I'll discuss it with my parents. Brother, please wait a moment."
"Okay, you can discuss it."
The eldest brother pulled his parents aside, and the three of them discussed.
Li Zhuo picked up the parrot and carefully held the sand pot in his hand.
This pot is not big and Li Zhuo can easily hold it with one hand. It feels slightly red in color and has three legs. It looks a bit warm and reflective.
Li Zhuo couldn't figure it out, so he looked at it a few times and stopped caring.
After discussing with his parents, the eldest brother over there came over and said:
"To be honest, brother, this pot is definitely good, because I spent a lot of money when I bought it. Now I am very short of money. I bought a house in the suburbs with a lot of mortgage. If brother wants it, 300,000
You take it."
This is a sky-high asking price.
In fact, Li Zhuozhen is willing to give 300,000 yuan. Although he doesn't understand this thing, he knows his golden finger, and it will never fire cannons.
But at this time, I really don’t dare to give as much as I want. I’m afraid that as soon as I agree, they will immediately change their mind and ask for a shockingly high price.
Li Zhuo pursed his lips, looked at the parrot in his hand, and then at the clay pot.
Said:
"I don't mind spending some money on my pet, but there is a basic premise that the money must make me feel comfortable. The price you quoted, brother, makes me feel like I have been taken advantage of, and I won't do it even if I give it to you.
Comfortable."
He casually handed the clay pot to his elder brother and said:
"It's not worth sacrificing my own happiness for the sake of this little guy's happiness. Brother, just take it. I'll buy my parrot a gift he likes when I get back."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any intention of lingering.
When the elder brother saw that Li Zhuo was leaving, he quickly followed behind and said:
"Brother, don't leave. This is a good thing. It's very valuable. How much are you willing to give? Twenty is okay?... Fifteen is okay? Half the price, fifteen..."
Li Zhuo hesitated for a moment, paused, then turned around and said:
"Twelve at most, any more and I won't accompany you."
"Can you give me more, fourteen lines?"
"Twelve, I don't know if this is a good thing, and I actually don't care. It's just because my parrot likes it..."
"Thirteen, this has already dropped a lot. Brother, you are a rich man and you don't care about this..." The eldest brother did not dare to be tough anymore.
Li Zhuo seemed moved, and finally said reluctantly:
"Okay, then thirteen, that's the price."
The eldest brother breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had earned it.
An unknown teapot, which is often used at home and may be accidentally broken one day, was sold for a high price.
It's just right to give him this feeling, so as to save him from feeling unbalanced if he knows that this thing is expensive.
In fact, Li Zhuo could have quoted a few thousand yuan at the beginning and won the pot with a slight increase in price.
The reason why he asked for 100,000 yuan was because he still had some conscience and didn't want them to get any benefits.
So from a business perspective, he is not qualified this time.
But that’s just his character. If he is doing business normally, such as producing products or providing services and getting paid, no matter how much he earns, he feels it is appropriate.
But in this situation, he is still willing to keep a certain bottom line.
After transferring 130,000 yuan to his eldest brother, Li Zhuo was about to leave with the sand pot. At this time, his parents came out and gave him a strong cloth bag to put the sand pot in.
Li Zhuo thanked him, put the clay pot into a cloth bag, and then took the parrot and left with the bag.
After walking out of the mountain pass and passing through the paddy fields, he returned to the roadside.
Opening the car door, Li Zhuo got in, and the parrot turned into a chatterbox at this time:
"Okay, you said you don't want to buy it and then turned around and left. I've been deceived..."
Li Zhuo found that this bird was very smart. For example, when Li Zhuo bought a clay pot just now, it never said a word from beginning to end, not even a cry.

Li Zhuo nodded. This bird understands the situation and has a sense of proportion.
Now he is the only one left, chatting non-stop.
Li Zhuo was very happy and said with a smile:
"Come on, let's go back. What do you want to eat? Let someone buy it for you when we get back."
The parrot smacked his tongue and said:
"Give me some millet. I used to eat it when I was a kid, but I haven't eaten it since. I still miss the taste."
This is too simple. I didn’t expect that parrots are quite easy to feed.
I eat fruits and vegetables, nuts, millet and rice. It’s really good.
After returning to the hotel, Li Zhuo called the housekeeper and asked her to buy some millet.
The housekeeper was also slow to respond and asked in confusion:
"Mr. Li, do you want to drink millet porridge? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it for you and then bring it to you?"
Li Zhuo waved his hand and pointed to the parrot on his shoulder:
