Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Hearing the price of 2.4 cents, the owner of the cow was obviously tempted. He also knew that this cow was so thin that it couldn't be sold at such a high price.

I was just thinking about agreeing.

Another young man squeezed into the crowd.

While squeezing, he called out:

"Uncle Can! Are you selling your cow? If you do, I'll buy it!"

Wang Jianjun frowned and turned to look at the person who came.

I saw a young man with a vulgar and ugly face pushing through the crowd and coming to the scene.

Wang Jianjun looked at the other man's face and thought to himself that there were actually such ugly men in the world.

Not only is it ugly, it also looks vulgar.

Even Sha Zhu would feel ashamed to see this.

Wang Jianjun was unhappy and was the first to propose the deal.

What does it mean that this guy comes here and tries to steal the deal?

"Hey, where are you from? Do you understand the principle of first come first served?"

The young man was not of good temper. He immediately got angry when he saw Wang Jianjun's handsome face.

"Who are you? I'm a buyer for the city's machine repair factory. I specialize in purchasing supplies for the factory cafeteria."

"What a coincidence! I'm also a buyer for the Red Star Steel Mill. But I told this gentleman I wanted to buy a cow before you did. If you don't believe me, ask other people."

Wang Jianjun generally does not compete with his peers for business.

After all, he didn't lack anything, but he really wanted to get this cow, so he had to fight for it.

The man looked at Wang Jianjun and said disdainfully:

"So what if you said it first? I've had my eyes on this cow for the past two days. I even went to the factory to ask around before I talked to Uncle Can about buying the cow. And who would believe you if you said you were a buyer?"

"I still don't believe you are also a buyer! Here is my purchase certificate!"

As he spoke, Wang Jianjun took out the purchase certificate and showed it to everyone.

"It's like no one else has it."

The young man also took out his purchase certificate and Wang Jianjun took a look at it.

Wang Jianjun looked at the purchasing certificate and thought to himself, we are really in the same industry.

But the proof looks so weird.

Just as Wang Jianjun was about to take a closer look, the other party quickly took back the certificate and said to the old man:

"Uncle Can, everyone in our village has the surname Cui, and we are all one family for several generations. You can't be so rude as to help this outsider."

When the cow owner saw that both of them wanted to buy his cow, he suddenly became interested.

He then pretended to be embarrassed:

"Although this cow is sick, it may get better if we take it home and take care of it. Besides, this is a cow that has only given birth to one baby. If we take good care of it, it may give birth to several more babies and become very valuable.

Just now this young man offered 2.4 cents per pound, but I didn't want to accept it. But now you say you want to buy it too.

How about this, I will sell this cow to whoever of you offers the highest price."

Wang Jianjun was a little unhappy. The cow was so sick that it was dying. Only he could cure it if he bought it. Others who bought it would have to slaughter it and sell its meat.

The other party is obviously raising the price.

But he really wanted this cow, so Wang Jianjun glanced at the young buyer beside him. Then he said:

"All right, I can add another cent. 24.01 cents."

When the young man heard Wang Jianjun raising the price, his face turned a little ugly.

He had evil thoughts when he knew the cow was sick.

I made a special trip to the city to ask the people at the Pigeon Market.

If he sold the cows to Pigeon Market, he could earn at least thirty dollars per cow.

That's why he came to buy cattle from Uncle Can under the name of a purchasing agent.

Originally, he planned to use the excuse that the cattle were sick to lower the price in the hope of making more money.

Now, not only can we not lower the price, we have to raise it instead.

The young man glared at the old man, quickly calculated in his mind, gritted his teeth and said:

"Uncle Can, I'll give you 2.42 cents."

"Then I'll take three cents."

"You!!!" The young man glared at Wang Jianjun and said fiercely, "I'll pay four cents!"

"Five cents!"

The young man was angry. He stared at Wang Jianjun and threatened:

"Boy, you are a foreigner, how dare you come to my territory to steal my business."

Wang Jianjun curled his lips in disdain and said:

"Isn't it okay if I have a lot of money? If you have the guts, you can raise the price?"

The young man was so angry at Wang Jianjun's attitude that he shouted at him:

"I'll give you 25 cents! You have money, right? Keep giving!"

Wang Jianjun waved his hand and said:

"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't have that much money. If you want this cow, go buy it."

It’s not that Wang Jianjun can’t afford the money, but he doesn’t like being taken advantage of.

At worst, I can wait for a few months and try my luck in Inner Mongolia.

The young man was frustrated by Wang Jianjun's attitude.

The next moment he reacted instantly, damn! He was at a huge loss!

The cow that used to cost 2.4 cents now costs 2.5 cents.

Don't underestimate this one-point difference.

This cow looks to be about 600 to 700 kilograms, which means the loss is several dollars.

He should have been happy about buying the cow, but now thinking about losing several dollars, he lost interest at all.

The cow owner was very happy to see that the young man was willing to spend 25 cents to buy the cow.

He quickly approached the other person and said:

"Dake, the twenty-five cents is a deal. I'm selling the cow to you now. Once you pay the money, you can take the cow away anytime."

When the young man heard what the cow owner said, his face immediately became embarrassed.

"Uncle Lao Can, the factory hasn't given me the money yet. But don't worry, I'll take the cow away first and send the money to you in a few days."

The owner of the cow became unhappy when he heard this. He thought, "You want to take the cow away without giving me money."

"Cui Dake, buying a cow on credit is a good thing. If you want to buy a cow, pay the money. Otherwise, don't even think about taking the cow away."

Cui Dake said anxiously:

"Uncle Can, we agreed on a price, and you promised to sell the cow to me. And I'm a buyer for the machine repair shop, how could I owe you the money?"

After hearing this, the cow owner hesitated again and asked:

"Dake, when will your money arrive?"

Cui Dake said with some guilt:

"About a week, if it's late it'll take at least ten days."

When the cow owner heard this, his beard almost stood out with anger.

He pointed at Cui Dake and cursed:

"Get lost, Cui Dake! I've known for a long time that you're not a good person. You're using your tricks on me now."

Cui Dake took a few steps back after being scolded, and said awkwardly:

"Uncle Can, if you can't trust me, how can you not trust the machine repair shop?"

"Get lost! I don't trust anyone but money!"

As he spoke, he shouted to Wang Jianjun who had just walked away:

"Young man, don't leave yet! I'll sell you this cow!"

Wang Jianjun had just taken a few steps when he was stopped.

He turned around in confusion and looked at the old man strangely.

The owner of the cow quickly stepped forward and said, "Young man, Cui Dake has no money at all and still wants to buy my cow on credit. I won't sell him my cow. If you want it, I'll sell it to you."

When Wang Jianjun heard the name Cui Dake and thought of the other person's appearance, he instantly remembered who the other person was.

Isn’t this Cui Dake, the second male villain in “Man Is Iron and Rice Is Steel”?
