157. Strong buying and strong selling
"Hey, if you are talented, take a look, your chicken is popular on the Internet!"
The hospital in the afternoon was as dull as ever, but fortunately, the air conditioner was very cool, which made people feel lazy and didn't want to move.
Lao Song sat behind his desk with his feet crossed, staring at the screen of his mobile phone, his eyebrows beaming.
Since it is not easy to smoke in the air-conditioned room, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he put a toothpick in his mouth to relieve his hunger.
"Yeah, Youcai, why does your family have a big rooster with colorful feathers? I haven't heard you mention it before."
Sister Tao, who was playing with her mobile phone, also raised her head and looked at Chen Youcai curiously.
"It's just an ordinary country chicken, it looks a little weird."
Chen Youcai touched his nose, that was depressed, he wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength didn't allow it.
The speed at which information can be disseminated on the Internet is beyond his imagination.
In less than a few hours, the video of the colorful rooster quickly spread on the mobile phones of the locals in Nanling City.
"Someone still asked me in the circle of friends, saying let me go and see if your chicken is sold."
Old Song smiled strangely in joy: "I see, there is no talent like his big rooster is famous now!"
Hearing these words, Chen Youcai's face turned green. Sister Tao glared at Lao Song angrily, but couldn't help laughing out loud.
In the evening, Chen Youcai returned to his small courtyard. Before he could finish dinner, several groups of people came to the courtyard one after another.
There are those in Chenjia Village, and there are also those in nearby villages.
Even a few people from Zhangjia Town rushed over to ask Chen Youcai about the origin of the big rooster.
After getting Chen Youcai's reply that he didn't want to sell the chickens, these guys were so sincere, they started to insinuate and asked about the origin of the big roosters.
Some people from Qingquan Town recognized this big rooster, and it seemed that it was brought back by Aunt Xu a few days ago.
As a result, I went to Qingquan Town to have a look, and the big rooster's brothers were found, but they never grew such beautiful colorful wings.
"You are talented, your Aunt Xu even asked me, what did you feed that big rooster for a few days, and it looks so good-looking."
Under the bright electric lights in the main room, Chen Dazhuang and Chen Youcai sat around the wooden table.
He asked casually while picking up dinner.
"Dad, did someone ask you?"
Chen Youcai thumped in his heart, and quickly swallowed the rice grains in his mouth: "This chicken cannot be sold."
"Why can't it be sold?"
Chen Dazhuang looked at Chen Youcai in puzzlement, but the latter hadn't responded yet.
Then there was the sound of a car stopping outside the courtyard door, and then someone shouted loudly.
"Is Chen Youcai at home?"
The father and son looked at each other, Chen Youcai put down the bowl and chopsticks, and saw three strangers striding through the half-closed courtyard door towards the main room.
"I am Chen Youcai, what do you want?"
The person who came to be the leader was a balding fat man with a double chin, who looked to be in his forties.
Flip flops, big underpants, and a big belly sticking out under the floral shirt, like a basketball hidden inside.
He squinted his small eyes, stared at Chen Youcai and smiled, then raised two fingers: "I'll offer 2 yuan to buy your big rooster!"
What, 2 yuan? !
Chen Dazhuang was so startled that the bowl and chopsticks in his hand almost slipped to the ground.
After finally calming down, he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Boss, are you kidding me?"
"How do you say this is!"
The man who looked like a secretary behind the fat man frowned and scolded loudly.
"Our President Long keeps his promises. What is a mere 2 yuan? It's not enough for President Long's bottle of wine!"
Fatty Long was very pleased with this flattery, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, if you are not satisfied with this price, you can still increase it."
"Hey, Mr. Long's time is precious. If it wasn't for Miss Xiaoli, I wouldn't bother to come to your poor country!"
The male secretary looked at the old furnishings in the hall with disgust, then covered his mouth and nose, and deliberately reached out and waved his palm in front of him.
As if dispelling some bad smell.
"Sorry, that big rooster, my family doesn't plan to sell it."
Chen Dazhuang looked at this, then at that, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Youcai's face.
To be honest, a big rooster can sell for 2 yuan, which is far beyond his imagination.
I even felt a bit uneasy about my conscience, thinking that I was cheating on Chi Guoguo.
But if it can be sold at this price, then [-] yuan can be distributed to Zhao Xiaolin's family.
Although it is not very useful, at least it can slightly improve the living standards of the mother and daughter.
Unfortunately, just when Chen Dazhuang was moved, Chen Youcai shook his head without hesitation, and immediately rejected Fatty Long.
Dead silence, a dead silence, only the cry of frogs sounded from time to time in the corner of the courtyard.
"Heh, you country people are really greedy."
The male secretary squinted his eyes, with a look of contempt "as expected".
The potbellied Fatty Long restrained his smile, and was obviously a little unhappy.
"Don't waste time, just tell me, how much do you want to sell?"
He lowered his eyes, casually scratched his fingernails, and said calmly: "I, Long, is still a bit thin-faced in the entire Nanling City."
Threat, this is clearly Chi Guoguo's threat.
Chen Dazhuang, who has experienced ups and downs for half his life, suddenly changed his face.
Just as he was about to speak, Chen Youcai sneered and said first, "If I don't sell chickens, do you still want to grab them?"
"Boy, don't be shameless. The last time someone dared to talk to our President Long like that, he finally knelt on the ground, crying and begging for forgiveness, it was useless."
The male secretary had a sulky face, and said sullenly, his words were full of threats.
"Do you know Zhang Xiangtai?"
Chen Youcai smiled, changed the subject abruptly, and said in a low voice, "If you don't know Zhang Xiangtai, Cao Kun should know him, right?"
"……What do you mean?"
Boss Long's chubby face tightened, and his voice seemed a little weak. After all, in terms of his current status, he was barely equal to Zhang Xiangtai.
As for a big shot like Cao Kun, of course it cannot be compared.
Could it be that this country youth in front of him has a relationship with that guy Cao Kun?
Hmph, even if there is, so what?
Not to mention Zhang Xiangtai, even the grass on Cao Kun's grave has grown tall now.
Thinking of this, Boss Long's confidence came back, he snorted immediately, and said coldly: "Don't scare me with Cao Kun, who the hell is it?"
It's not that Fatty Long is bragging, he does have the confidence to say this.
Even in the past when Cao Kun was alive, he was full of arrogance, Fatty Long would not be too afraid of him.
It is rumored that Cao Kun was able to rapidly expand a private pharmaceutical company, and there was a faint backing of the Jinling Wu family behind it.
But Fatty Long is not a vegetarian anymore, so why not have the support of a big man in Jinling behind him?
Tonight, I came to Chen Youcai's house specially to buy that big colorful rooster from him. Fatty Long didn't just want to curry favor with that little Internet celebrity anchor, Xiao Li.
The big man behind him has been secretly collecting strange creatures all over the country over the years to make huge profits.
Or process it into a rare tonic diet, and send it to the dining table of some high-ranking and important people, so as to connect with people.
Or secretly smuggle it abroad and sell it to those oil tycoons in the desert country as pets at sky-high prices.
Over the years, Fatty Long has also followed that great man's fame. From a small cattle and sheep dealer, he has transformed into a successful person who runs a big business.
Bored at noon today, he clicked on Xiaoli's outdoor live broadcast.
Fatty Long was not interested at first, but after glancing at Xiao Li's bulging chest, he felt bored and decided to change to a more beautiful female anchor.
But at the very next moment, he witnessed the big colorful rooster flying to the persimmon tree with a huff!
Baby, if this big rooster grows like this naturally, it will definitely be a rare treasure among chickens!
One must know that the ancient gambling industry of cockfighting is still secretly popular no matter whether it is in Daxia or abroad.
This big rooster with beautiful wings looks extraordinarily handsome, and it can be called the overlord of chickens.
Not to mention that it looks very good, even if it is resold to those local tyrants as pets, it is more than enough.
If you can get it, can't you make a lot of money?
Fatty Long was immediately moved.
After watching the live broadcast patiently, he couldn't wait to contact Xiao Li and asked her about the authenticity of the big cock.
After receiving Xiaoli's affirmative answer, Fatty Long was so happy that he was as happy as Chinese New Year.
On the pretext of coming to the countryside to find Xiaoli to catch up on old love, he rushed to Chenjia Village with his assistant and driver, as if his butt was on fire.
He was even afraid that others would take the first step and sell the big cock, so he took the initiative to visit the door late at night, regardless of his status.
I thought that if I asked for 2 yuan, it would definitely shock Chen Youcai, a country bumpkin.
After all, the average rural person may not have as much as 2 yuan in net income for a whole year.
It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Fatty Long never expected that Chen Youcai didn't even think about it, so he shook his head and refused.
This made Fatty Long quite unhappy.
He intends to double the price, but in addition to the pain, he is also a little worried that the other party will make an inch of it, so he is even more stubborn and does not let go, so he raises the price hard.
That's why Fatty Long winked at his assistant, telling him to threaten and lure Chen Youcai and his son.
However, this trick, which is usually invincible, seems to be somewhat ineffective at the moment.
