Chen Qiye suddenly trembled as if he had been stabbed in the ribs, and his whole body twitched. The hand holding the tea cup trembled, and the lid fell to the ground with a clang, and it broke into two parts in an instant.

The tea in the tea cup also overflowed a lot and sprinkled on his robe.

He didn't expect that his always shrewd uncle would offer such an outrageously high price for the first time.

Ouch, how can I make a counter-offer after this?

"I'm sorry, my hand slipped and made a fool of myself just now, making the little gentleman laugh."

Chen Qiye was depressed and looked very embarrassed. He apologized to Chen Tianhua repeatedly in annoyance, lowered his head, picked up the broken lid and threw it into the trash can next to him.

"I'm sorry, my Qinshi has had trembling hands since he was a child. His father brought it to him. It's a sin to disturb the young gentleman."

Chen Zongyu frowned and glared at his nephew with dissatisfaction, his words clearly implying that he hates iron for not being able to become steel.

"It doesn't matter. This kind of accidental thing can happen to anyone, so don't worry about it." Chen Tianhua said politely.

Chen Zongyu's quotation was so high as soon as he opened his mouth. This was completely beyond Chen Tianhua's expectation, and it really made him unable to respond for the time being.

Of course, I went along with the flow and agreed to the deal at this price. This was also a response and seemed to respect the other party.

But Chen Tianhua doesn't think so.

By selling rare jewelry this time, on the one hand, he really needed some money to pay off his debts, and to establish his own aquatic business.

On the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to expand and establish his business contacts through this jewelry transaction.

Chen Zongyu is a famous jewelry tycoon in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. His connections in the Jiangnan business community over the past few decades are absolutely immeasurable.

In the future, if I want to develop my career in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he will be a good recommender and guarantor.

Perhaps, this business tycoon is also paying attention to him, and he is offering inducements in order to find out the other person's character and the bottom line of his desire for money.

Chen Tianhua is so smart. Now that he has thought of this powerful relationship, he will not easily fall into the trap of money.

Although on the surface it seemed like he was getting an advantage by selling more than a thousand yuan more, in the long run, Chen Zongyu would look down on himself, which would be a big loss.

The right way is that a gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way. Having a reputation is much more important than cash.

He wanted to convince Chen Zongyu from the beginning to the end, showing that Chen Tianhua was a gentleman on the outside and would never covet easy money or take advantage of his friend's uncle.

He understands better that in order to develop in the chaotic business world of the late Qing Dynasty, for a young man like him who has neither family nor reputation, personal reputation and reputation are most important.

Sometimes, he just needs such a heavyweight to recommend him and spontaneously establish a monument for him.

Chen Zongyu is just an ideal candidate.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianhua calmly put down the tea cup, raised his hands and replied with a smile:

"The big shopkeeper is indeed very dignified. He is generous with his gifts and treats his guests kindly. He demonstrates the demeanor of a businessman and tycoon, which really makes Hua Zhi admire him greatly."

"But I understand the great shopkeeper's kindness. Hua Zhi is by no means a greedy person. What I believe in doing business is fairness and justice, and no bullying."

"These pearls are indeed rare, and half of them are 'top chicken blood red' in color. And since the younger generation has become a brother of the opposite sex with Yingshi, and the chief shopkeeper is naturally Hua Zhi's elder, so Hua Zhi cannot ask for such a full price, and the younger generation only wants ten thousand

Yuan Yin Yang.”

Chen Tianhua's words made Chen Zongyu and Chen Qiye's uncle and nephew extremely shocked.

Did you hear it wrong? You took the initiative to give in two thousand oceans. What happened?

In the world of buying and selling, both parties look at the goods and discuss the price, and it is natural to bargain.

The sellers here brag about the high quality of the products and extort high prices; while the buyers on the other side are very picky about the quality of the products, like nitpicking, trying to lower the price.

Is it really the so-called "crying to heaven and returning the earth" rules of the trading game?

Then, the seller and the buyer made multiple bids, and after several rounds, the price difference gradually narrowed...

When the price difference shrinks to zero, it is the transaction price.

But the scene in front of me was reversed. The buyer offered a high price, and the seller offered a low price.

It’s not what I’ve heard or seen personally. No one would believe me if I were told that I’d be beaten to death, unless my head was squeezed by a door.

This is truly unprecedented and unparalleled, and it is shocking and embarrassing.

Who among them is confused and mistaken?

Chen Qiye was muttering in his heart, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

His eyes were rolling around, and his eyes were wandering. He looked at his uncle for a while, then at Chen Tianhua, and he was puzzled.

Chen Zongyu is such a person. He has been running in the docks for decades and has met many people from all walks of life.

From the deep eyes of Chen Tianhua, he understood that this unique young man had great respect for his elders and believed in the noble moral character of being moderate in wealth and wealth.

Chen Zongyu nodded and praised:

"Now that the young gentleman has made up his mind, even his words are in vain. The deal will be settled at 10,000 silver dollars. Gentleman, please go to the accountant and get the banknote."

"Yes, second uncle." Chen Qiye stood up stupidly, walked out of the door like a puppet, and went to the accounting room to get the banknotes.

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper!" Chen Tianhua stood up and handed over his hands.

"Little sir, you just said that my Yingshi is a brother of the opposite sex. I can't call you little sir anymore. I'll just call you Hua Zhi. How about that?"

"Of course, my second uncle is here, and this junior Hua Zhi kowtows to you." After saying that, Chen Tianhua knelt down on his knees in a polite manner and paid homage to his nephew.

"Oh, get up quickly, nephew Hua Zhi." Chen Zongyu quickly took a step forward, offered support, and said with a cheerful smile:

"I really didn't expect that I would have a good nephew with good conduct and talent. I am so lucky in my life, haha..."

While smiling, he took out a golden pocket watch from his arms, handed it to Chen Tianhua and said:

"Hua Zhizhi, you have performed the ceremony of son-nephew, and you and I are actually uncle-nephew. This gold case and bead-embedded enamel pocket watch was given to you by a German friend as a greeting gift for your uncle.

"

"Oh, uncle, no, it's so precious, and Hua deserves it."

When Chen Tianhua saw this pocket watch, it would be considered an absolute antique in later generations. It would be worth tens of millions. Even today, it is worth thousands of silver dollars.

"That's a bad thing to say. With Hua's character, I deserve this. Please accept it." Chen Zongyu handed it over with both hands sincerely.

When we reach this situation, we can no longer accept it.

Chen Tianhua knelt down again and took the noble gift with both hands, "Thank you, uncle, for the gift."

"Get well, uncle and nephew, we should talk about something else."

"Okay, second uncle."

Chen Tianhua stood up and sat down again, carefully putting the gold case and enamel pocket watch into his arms.

The two sides were quiet for a while, each slowly tasting the best Dahongpao.

Chen Zongyu was the first to break the silence:

"I heard Yingshi talking about it last night. Huazhi is very interested in doing aquatic products trading. I don't know what the specific plan is? Can you tell me?"

Now convinced of Chen Tianhua's character and appreciating his talents, Chen Zongyu thought to himself:

Such talents are rare in a century. If we have this opportunity, why not become partners? It would be terrible if we become competitors in the future.
