Chapter 1713: Sculptures in the courtyard
Lin Ran was not taken advantage of, so how could he just add money when he said he wanted more money?
He continued to sneer: "Didn't I give you 15? I paid back 6, and there is still 9. Why is this money not enough for you to continue gambling?"
"No, no, no! I will never gamble again." Meng Lin said firmly, "But after selling the shop, I have to find a way to make a living elsewhere, and 9 yuan is obviously not enough. You See if you can add a little more? For example, 20, and I will hand over the ownership of the store to you immediately without saying anything!"
This kind of person's external debt relationship is extremely complicated, and it is not known whether there is any outstanding payment for the goods in the store.
Taking over this kind of store is actually very risky.
The first thing they did when they took over the store was to publish a statement in the newspaper announcing that they and Meng Lin were officially separated. They also had to paste the newspaper at the door in case someone else came to the house to cause trouble.
But it doesn't matter. In Panjiayuan, Yang Jianlong is protecting him, so he doesn't have to worry about big problems.
"I borrowed it for half a year. Originally I wanted to pay back 6, but Wang Dehua had to calculate the money based on the full interest. The total was 8."
"You are really taken advantage of. Why do you borrow money from everyone?" Lin Ran couldn't complain.
It seems that because of gambling, he is indeed very tight on money.
This kind of person really can't be made rich.
If you don't have money, you have to borrow money from everywhere to gamble. Once you have money, you won't give up until you lose all your family property.
The interest of borrowing money for half a year is [-] yuan. Wang Dehua is also a profiteer.
No wonder he didn't worry about the lack of business in the store. In addition to cheating and abduction, he was also good at loan sharking.
When Boss Meng saw Lin Ran thinking about the problem, he thought he had an opportunity and said again: "Wang Dehua is a bad guy in Panjiayuan. He has many thugs. If you don't tell me clearly, they will definitely come to the store to cause trouble and beat people." of."
"Then let him come here." Lin Ran never had the chance to teach him a lesson. If Wang Dehua came to his door, he would be happy.
However, Boss Meng has made up his mind. He will definitely not be willing to hand over the store without paying him.
Wu Ning was already very angry. He clenched his fists and cursed Meng Lin for not keeping his word.
Lin Ran said: "Actually, you can solve these things yourself, why do you need me to pay the extra 5 yuan?"
"If our family still had money, we wouldn't have been arrested." Meng Lin sighed deeply.
"Your ancestral house can be sold for more than [-] yuan, right?" Lin Ran has been observing the courtyard since he entered. This is not a courtyard, but a private courtyard like an ancient landlord's house.
In Beijing, and in Xicheng District, many people would never be able to afford such a house in their lifetime.
"This is absolutely impossible!" Meng Lin immediately waved his hand and said, "This is my family's ancestral home. My father repeatedly told me before he passed away that no matter what happens, the main home cannot be sold!"
"No matter what the situation is? For example, you were almost beaten to death just now?"
They communicated repeatedly, but Meng Lin refused to lower the price no matter what, and Lin Ran's attitude became tougher every time.
His patience has its limits. If a scoundrel like Meng Lin agrees to his request this time, he will definitely raise the price again.
The best way to deal with this kind of person is to ignore his price increase.
He refuses to even sell his house and wants others to buy the shop at a higher price. It is simply ridiculous. Do you really think that others are philanthropists?
Wu Ning was furious.
"Okay, then our cooperation ends here. You can send the goods to the auction house tomorrow. Don't even think about getting a penny again."
What Wu Ning said in anger made Meng Lin smile.
"Okay, I'll do it."
All he wants is to keep his shop. As for the items in the shop, he has found a counterfeit dealer. As long as he can keep the shop, he can make back his money in two or three years.
As for the money owed this time, it was actually just a favor owed to Lin Ran.
As the saying goes, as long as there is no morality, you will not be kidnapped by morality.
Meng Lin is not a person who repays kindness. Let's talk about what happens after he is saved. Anyway, he is best at pushing the ball.
Lin Ran shook his head when he saw Wu Ning say this.
In fact, he plans to continue dragging it out. This kind of person's patience will be worn out, and he will definitely take the initiative to lower the price.
However, as I said before, Wu Ning has the final say in the auction house's contracts.
Now that he has spoken, he has no intention of persisting.
"It is only natural to pay back debts," Wu Ning said, "We were blinded by this matter."
"How could it be? I will definitely treat you two to a banquet in a few days to express my gratitude."
Lin Ran would have to vomit in disgust if he wanted to eat with such a person.
In fact, Lin Ran already had an alternative plan when the gangsters moved their things back.
Previously, he took a special look at Boss Meng's furniture.
Although they are all shabby old furniture, they are all modern handicrafts. There is no so-called huanghuali wood furniture and they are not worth money at all.
Although his table is better than ordinary people's, it is just common people's furniture and cannot be sold for much money even if it is taken to a flea market.
If it was really valuable, he might have taken it to the store to sell it.
All the items in the whole house would cost at most a few hundred yuan.
What really concerned him was the wooden sculpture that the gangsters had moved off the truck.
From the perspective of others, it is just an ordinary wood carving.
But Lin Ran could clearly see that it was a root carving!
Strictly speaking, root carving is a type of wood carving, but wood carving is carved from trees or trunks, while root carving is carved from tree roots.
Root carvings are more limited than tree carvings, because tree carvings are carved from logs and can be carved into any shape according to the maker's imagination.
The root carving is different. The root carving is more like a spiritual sword in martial arts novels, which can choose its own master.
A true root carving master needs to have a full understanding of tree roots and perform limited carvings based on the natural shape of the roots.
As the saying goes, it takes three parts to carve a root, and seven parts to make it naturally.
Since sitting down just now, the root carvings have been scattered at the door. It is obvious that they do not pay attention to these root carvings at all.
Lin Ran thought for a moment and said, "If you want to tear up the contract, it will be impossible for us to cooperate in the future."
Boss Meng was extremely proud, but on the surface he pretended to be distressed and said: "Mr. Lin, I have tried my best. I really can't do business with you this time. Let's do this. I have something at home. If you If you like it, just take it away."
