Chapter 36: Lost Something
Times have changed, and Na San is living with these gold bricks left by his ancestors, and his life is getting worse day by day. He has long wanted to sell the gold bricks for money. It's a pity that no one can buy this thing these days. I found a few buyers, but they either found it too expensive or didn't want it, so I kept it until now.
At this time, Lei Laoliu came back with a thermos bottle, refilled the tea cup, and sat down with a smile.
Du Fei had nothing to ask. Since he had just confirmed that these gold bricks could absorb white light, he had made up his mind and must take them.
Du Fei picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, then looked up at the three people, "I heard Lao Lei say, do you want to sell me a gold brick for fifty cents?"
San Yi was stunned. A moment ago, this 'Leader Du' was smiling gently, but when he turned his face, he suddenly became serious, making him not sure how to answer. ??
In this situation, it was difficult for Lei Laoliu to interrupt, so the three of them fell into silence for a while.
After waiting for a moment, Du Fei said again, "You also said that you have a total of 150 gold bricks on hand, right?"
Na San felt that he could no longer remain silent, so he nodded bravely.
Du Fei smiled, shook his head and said, "This gold brick is indeed good, but it is too expensive. At this price, I can't buy it."
Na San suddenly became anxious and almost stood up, but was grabbed by Lei Laoliu next to him and glared at him fiercely.
Although the three men were big, they were not as strong as Lei Laoliu who had been working all year round. They dragged him to stagger and sat back down again.
Lei Laoliu put on a smile again and said, "Leader Du, tell me, we brothers will listen to you."
Du Fei secretly laughed in his heart. Lei Laoliu said it nicely. He said he wanted these gold bricks for free. Can Lei Laoliu and Na San really give them to him?
However, Du Fei didn't want to be greedy for this advantage. He said calmly, "The most I can give you is 25 cents per brick, and one hundred and fifty yuan is too little. I want four hundred yuan. If I can get it, I will give you one hundred yuan immediately." If you don’t have enough money, forget it.”
Lei Laoliu and Na San looked at each other, neither of them expected Du Fei to make such a request.
r>
Especially Lei Laoliu, who originally claimed that one hundred and fifty gold bricks were ordered by him.
Because even if Du Fei's two rooms were all paved with gold bricks, and the bathroom bathtub was built with gold bricks, it would only cost more than a hundred yuan.
That's why Lei Laoliu asked Na San to say that the total was only one hundred and fifty yuan.
If there are too many, Du Fei will feel that things are worthless and worthless.
But Du Fei didn't play according to his preset routine at all, and directly cut the unit price, but doubled the total amount.
Lei Laoliu really couldn't figure out why Du Fei bought so many gold bricks?
But this result was an unexpected surprise for him and Na San.
Originally, I had spent a lot of money, a gold brick was only 50 cents, but 150 yuan was only 75 yuan.
Now, Du Fei wants 400 yuan at a time. Even if it is 25 cents, they can still get 100 yuan, and the total amount is more than before.
As for paying an extra 250 gold bricks, Lei Laoliu and Na San didn't care.
Anyway, if they don't sell it to Du Fei, no one will care about those gold bricks, just gathering dust in vain.
Besides, the gold bricks left by the three ancestors were far more than that. Even if they were sold to Du Fei for 400 yuan, there would still be a lot more left over.
The two sides hit it off and reached an agreement.
It was agreed that within three days, the three handfuls of gold bricks would be transported to the courtyard.
After sending Lei Laoliu and Na San away, Du Fei happily put the two remaining bricks on the ground into his personal space.
Originally, Lei Laoliu and the others wanted to take these two remaining bricks with them before they left.
It's not that they are stingy, I really think these two big guys
There is no use in staying in Du Fei's room. You will have to throw it out after you turn around.
But Du Fei stopped them and told them to just leave.
However, there is not much white light in these two remaining bricks.
In just seven or eight minutes, the two remaining bricks no longer emitted white light, and the total amount was less than one-tenth of the previous jade bracelet and jade pendant.
Fortunately, gold bricks account for a large number. More than four hundred gold bricks are enough to hold dozens of jade articles.
The next day, Du Fei got up early in the morning and took Xiaowu to work.
Nothing happened this morning. Section Chief Qian and Zhu Ting both left early in the morning.
At noon, after taking Xiaowu to the canteen to finish their meal, Du Fei received five lunch boxes and sent them back to Lei Laoliu and the others.
The courtyard here today has obviously changed compared to the mess yesterday.
The broken bricks and rocks were cleared out of the house, and the bricks that could be reused were picked out and neatly stacked aside. Most of the remaining garbage was removed, and trenches were dug for the water and sewer pipes...
But Du Fei discovered that Lei Laoliu didn't look very good-looking.
After he distributed the lunch boxes, the other four workers went to the side to eat, but Lei Laoliu did not move with the lunch boxes.
"What's wrong with Lao Lei?" Du Fei asked.
Lei Laoliu whispered, "Leader Du, we lost something last night."
Du Fei frowned, "What did you lose?"
Lei Laoliu said, "It's some hardware I brought back from the north of the city yesterday. I counted them all, but there are more than ten missing."
Du Fei thought for a while and asked, "How did you find out?"
Lei Laoliu replied, "To tell you the truth, we come out to do the work. In order to prevent someone from having dirty hands and feet at night, we will mark the place where the materials are piled. When we came this morning, the marks were moved, and the results were counted.
The number, indeed something was lost. "
Du Fei nodded. No wonder Section Chief Qian introduced Lei Laoliu. This man did have some rules for doing things.
As for who stole the thing, Du Fei immediately thought of Bangge.
At night, the gate of the courtyard must be locked, making it difficult for outsiders to enter the high-walled compound, let alone just take a few hardware pieces and leave.
In the courtyard, the only person who can do such a shitty thing is Banggeng, a restless troublemaker.
However, even if we know that it was Banggeng who did it, it is not easy to deal with it.
Firstly, the lost things are not valuable, at most only two or three yuan. No matter what the result is, it will appear petty, chaotic, and resentful.
Secondly, even if we catch the evidence, it is Banggeng who did it. The old woman of the Jia family will cry, make a fuss, and hang herself, and in the end you will be labeled as bullying orphans and widows.
Du Fei thought about it and said to Lei Laoliu, "You know the matter, don't make it public yet, I will solve it in the evening."
"Okay, then you can do it, I'll go to eat first." Lei Laoliu nodded, and also wanted to see how Du Fei would deal with it.
In fact, he encountered such a situation of losing things when he was working outside.
It was a small matter, and the owner didn't want to make trouble, so he just let it go, anyway, the loss was not big.
If the host is stingy or has a strong personality, it is common to make a scene, and quarrels and fights are common.
From the beginning, when Section Chief Qian introduced him, Lei Laoliu felt that this young man Du Fei was different.
Whether he was taking things to the warehouse of the North City Grain Station or selling gold bricks with the three last night, Du Fei showed a strong network of contacts and unpredictable thoughts.
Lei Laoliu was very curious, how would a person like Du Fei solve these trivial matters, would it be easily resolved? Or would it be a mess?
