Chapter 136 Competition!

Seeing Nie Yun's hesitation, there was a glimmer of hope in the man's heart.

If Nie Yun doesn't value this pot of osmanthus, just come and have a look and casually ask about the price, then when the man says the price of 400,000 yuan, Nie Yun will definitely turn around and leave. Even if he doesn't leave, he will at least have to show a sneer and disdain on his face.

Now Nie Yun did not show such an expression, but slightly hesitated, which showed that the man wanted to sell the bonsai, and there was still a glimmer of hope.

Of course, this is also Nie Yun's inexperience.

A really experienced old man in the bonsai world, if he wants to pick up a leak and buy a bonsai, he will never let people see his true thoughts clearly. Never reveal your cards to others, which is the most important thing.

However, in fact, Nie Yun also disdains to play these intrigue tricks.

Picking up your own bonsai depends on your ability, not on such a trick!

"Brother, to tell you the truth, my pot of osmanthus is really worth the price. If it weren't for my buddy, it would be really difficult this time, I would never have sold this pot of flowers!"

Seeing that Nie Yun was still hesitant, the man hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot.

"This osmanthus was originally given to him by my father's comrade-in-arms in Ludong Province more than 20 years ago. At that time, the osmanthus was worthless, and my father never wanted to sell it. After all, it represented the friendship between their comrades-in-in-arms. But recently, my mother was diagnosed with a disease. She has advanced liver cancer. Although it has not been cured, as children, we can't just watch my mother suffer, but there is a glimmer of hope to be cured. My father died more than ten years ago when I was in high school. I didn't have much money at home, so I had no choice but to sell this pot of flowers..."

As the man said, he couldn't help wiping a handful of tears. Such a big man shed tears, which made people look a little sad.

"The advanced stage of liver cancer?" Before Nie Yun could speak, Liu Junwei behind him suddenly stepped forward.

"I said, buddy, don't blame me for talking too much. You're not making up stories, are you? My brother is usually quite kind, but he can't see others lying to him. If you really make up a story, we can turn our heads and leave..." Liu Junwei said, pulling Nie Yun.

Many people who sell antique calligraphy and painting bonsai will make up stories. The content of the story is generally aimed at the items sold themselves, and the value of this thing is amazing, so as to raise the price.

Of course, there are also people who say that their background is very miserable, so as to win the sympathy of buyers and increase the price of goods.

But in today's society, this second method is not commonly used. Because the way of making up a life has a little sense of seeking charity. And modern people, roadside beggars are too lazy to give a penny, and the charity donation is only one hundred and eight yuan. Who will raise the price of the things sold by hundreds of thousands of yuan because of your poor background?

Even so, Liu Junwei still wants to remind Nie Yun.

What's Nie Yun's surname? Liu Junwei knows very well that Nie Yun is not compassionate, at least his heart is not particularly hard. When this man said this, maybe Nie Yun really believes it.

"Brother, I'm really not coaxing. This... My ID card, if you don't believe it, just go to the hospital with me to check..." Hearing Liu Junwei's words, the man's face was bitter, and he directly took out his ID card and handed it to Nie Yun.

Nie Yun glanced at his ID card casually. The name on the ID card was "Chen Weixian". The photo was the man in front of him. Obviously, the man's name was "Chen Weixian".

"Brother Chen, little brother Nie Yun, it's not that I don't believe you, but the price of this pot of osmanthus is indeed a little higher. Let me think about it?"

Nie Yun stretched out his hand, gently pushed Chen Weixian's ID card back, and said to Chen Weixian.

"Brother Nie Yun, I also know that my price is a little high."

Chen Wei took back his ID card first and sighed.

"Normally, if your parents have cancer, it can be cured by spending tens of thousands of yuan, and it can also be cured by spending more than 100,000 yuan. Anyway, it can't be cured, so many people can cure it. To tell you the truth, I sold this osmanthus this time just to give my mother the best medicine. I'm willing to pay any amount of money. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to the United States and Europe... If I don't wait for the money to run out, my mother will... If it's gone, I'll donate all the money left, and I won't leave a penny!" Chen Wei said first, and couldn't help wiping his eyes.

"Brother Chen, I understand your mood. Otherwise, you can come to our booth first. Even if we don't buy it, you can put this flower on our booth and wait for the right buyer.

Nie Yun said to Chen Wei first.

" Nie Zi, you won't really buy it, will you?"

Hearing Nie Yun say so, Liu Junwei behind him pulled Nie Yun again.

"400,000 things, even if we don't lack this money, at least we should weigh the value, right? We are not good people, and the money is not picked up for nothing..." Liu Junwei whispered in Nie Yun's ear.

Nie Yun smiled, not to mention that although his money was not picked up for nothing, it was almost the same. Of course, even if the money is picked up for nothing, there is also a matter of attention to who does not give it to whom. Those who are really difficult and encounter natural disasters [***], as long as Nie Yun encounters them, he doesn't mind helping. Those who are powerful, have no worries about food and clothing, and come out to be deceived, naturally will not be fooled by Nie Yun.

"This bonsai works well, and it is possible that it is worth millions. The price of 400,000 yuan is also fair. I want to buy it because I see that the bonsai itself is valuable, not because of his pity. Even if what he said is all false, we are definitely not a loss, and he is definitely not a big profit. Nie Yun also whispered.

"That's good. Anyway, you're an apist. Just watch it!"

Hearing Nie Yun say so, Liu Junwei said directly.

At this moment, some onlookers have been gathered here. After all, a pot of bonsai worth 400,000 yuan is rare in the whole bonsai expo, not to mention that the young man seems to really want to buy it. If you want to make a deal of more than 400,000 yuan here, the people around you will naturally come and have a look.

Seeing that Nie Yun seemed to really want to buy it, several people shook their heads in the crowd.

"Young man, flowers are good flowers, and bonsai is also good bonsai. It is conservatively estimated that the price is 200,000 yuan. There are many people in our expo rushing to ask for it. But 400,000... you still need to be cautious..."

A middle-aged man of 40 or 50 years old and a square face opened his mouth to remind Nie Yundao.

"Thank you, uncle. I'll think about it." Nie Yun smiled at the middle-aged man and said.

"Don't think about it, this pot of flowers, 400,000, I want it!"

And at this time, a full voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.

Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, but saw an old man about 70 or 80 years old, not tall, with snow-white hair and a white beard striding this way.

This old man is dressed in a Tang suit, with a thousand-layer cloth shoes under his feet, and his waist is straight, which looks full of momentum.

"It's Mr. Xu!"

The middle-aged man who just reminded Nie Yun was slightly shocked to see the old man coming in.

After walking to Chen Weixian's electric car, Mr. Xu looked down at the pot of osmanthus and nodded gently: "Okay, okay, the flower is a good flower, 400,000 yuan, it's worth it. Xiao Chen, I know the situation of your family. In fact, when your father was still alive, I went to ask him for this flower pot of osmanthus. You and I know each other. At that time, the price I offered was 50,000 yuan!"

Mr. Xu said, stretching out a slap.

"Your mother's situation, I just heard an acquaintance say that I originally wanted to go to your house again when I had time, but I didn't expect that you also came to this bonsai expo. 400,000 yuan, I want this pot of osmanthus!"

Mr. Xu was familiar with Chen Weixian's father in his early years, but Chen Weixian's father has passed away for more than ten years. Earlier, Mr. Xu offered this pot of osmanthus at 50,000 yuan. However, at that time, 50,000 yuan in more than nine years is still worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. Nie Yun still remembers that at that time, his parents worked for a year, that is, saving three or five thousand yuan. Now he works for a year, and I dare not say that it is still no problem to save three or five thousand yuan.

"Elder Xu, thank you so much. To be honest, I did it behind my mother's back when I took out this flower and sold it. My mother didn't want me to sell it, saying that my father was gone, and keeping it was a thought. In fact, I also know that she cares about money and doesn't want to spend a lot of money on medical treatment..."

Chen Wei first thanked Mr. Xu. In this case, Mr. Xu can spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy this bonsai, which is already a great kindness to him.

As he said, Chen Wei hurriedly untied the rubber rope and wanted to move the flowers down to Mr. Xu.

"Wait a minute!"

And at this moment, a voice sounded sharply.

Xu Lao and Chen Wei were all stunned. They looked in the direction of the voice, but it was Nie Yun who saw the speaker.

"Elder Xu, the flowers are favored by the younger generation first, and the younger generation did not say that they would not buy it. Mr. Xu is not suitable to bid now, right?" Nie Yun said to Mr. Xu with a wry smile.

Nie Yun really took a fancy to this pot of osmanthus. What he favored was not easy for Nie Yun to give up, but he didn't expect that before he was sure to buy it, Mr. Xu rushed to bid. This kind of behavior of inserting a bar in other people's trading process is more or less irregular.

"Ha ha, this time we are opening the Bonsai Expo, not trading in a small circle, and there is no need to talk about so many rules for trading. Little brother, since you also like this pot of osmanthus, just bid. The price is high, and this pot of flowers can also be taken away. Of course, little brother, you bid, and my old man may also have to raise the price!"

Hearing Nie Yun say this, Mr. Xu smiled, touched the beard on his chin, and said.

Normal bonsai trading, flower friends in a small circle usually pay a suitable price for each person, and others bid higher, so they are embarrassed to raise the price again.

But it's different to open the expo. The bonsai at the fair is more like an auction. Basically, you can bid at will, and the price is high. The meaning of competition is obviously stronger.
