Uncle Liu nodded and smiled: "I asked the team leader, and he said that the tractor cost just over two thousand yuan and has been used for several years. If your team wants it, just pay eight hundred yuan."

Susie thought for a while, "Uncle, how many years is that tractor?"

Uncle Liu counted on his fingers, "It must have been four or five years."

He knows this best, because he has been driving it since we bought it.

When Susie heard this, she shook her head repeatedly, "That's too expensive."

"A four- or five-year-old tractor won't last long if you buy it back. Eight hundred yuan is not a good deal."

"Except less."

Uncle Liu scratched his head, "I can't make the decision, so why don't you go tell our captain yourself?"

"Okay, please ask uncle to take me there."

Uncle Liu stood up and said, "Let's go, it's not far, just past a few houses."

Su Qian followed Uncle Liu to the left and walked a few dozen meters. Uncle Liu pointed to a house with blue bricks and black tiles, "That's right here. The captain is my nephew, also named Liu."

Entering the yard, Uncle Liu shouted, "Captain, here comes Xiao Su who wants to buy a tractor."

A man who looked less than thirty years old came out of the room. Susie was a little surprised. This captain was too young.

In her impression, captains are usually older, just like the second grandfather.

Captain Liu was a little surprised when he came out and saw Su Qian. This girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She could make the decision on such a big deal as buying a tractor?

Captain Liu still politely gave way to the room.

Su Qian sat down and said straight to the point: "Captain Liu, I heard that your tractor is four or five years old. I think the price of 800 is a bit expensive."

Captain Liu lit a cigarette and said, "The price is really not expensive."

"When I bought it, I spent more than two thousand. This is only eight hundred, which is less than half."

Su Qian smiled and said, "Captain Liu, that's the truth. This tractor is a machine, and it will wear out if it is a machine."

"If you think about it, the gears and other gears will wear out after being used for a long time, and then they will be completely useless."

She paused, "I heard that the scrappage period of agricultural vehicles is very short. After all, if you buy this tractor, it won't last long."

Susie actually didn't know how long it would take for the tractor to be scrapped. She thought that the tractor had to pull things and plow the ground, and it was used so hard that it might not last a few years.

Captain Liu smoked and said nothing.

When he bought the car, he was told that the tractor would be scrapped after six years of use.

Captain Liu didn't know how this little girl knew so clearly, and she was quite professional about agricultural vehicles.

Susie continued: "If we buy this tractor, it will only last for about one or two years, and it won't be as useful as the new one."

"If it's eight hundred yuan, we definitely can't take it, so we might as well bite the bullet and buy a new one."

Captain Liu blew out a puff of smoke from his nostrils, "Tell me, what price can you ask for?"

Susie held out three fingers and said, "Three hundred."

Captain Liu snorted, "Three hundred is impossible. I would have sold it for three hundred."

When Susie heard this, she felt that there was a possibility. Since someone had offered this price, it was easy to say.

She smiled at Captain Liu and said, "How about I add more, three hundred and one?"

Captain Liu snorted, "Where are you buying cabbage? Add this much!"

Susie thought for a while, "Three hundred and five, I won't want any more."

Captain Liu shook his head, "Four hundred."

To be honest, no one wants this tractor, only the production team buys it.

He had been out for a while, and only one person came to ask about it. He offered three hundred, but he didn't sell it.

If the price is too cheap, then he might as well not sell it, or at most not buy a big tractor. His bottom line is only 400.

Susie was delighted, as this figure was actually not much different from the price she paid.

She put on a pitiful expression and said, "Captain Liu, our team is poor. We still don't have roads, water or electricity. If we weren't poor, we wouldn't even think about buying a second-hand tractor."

"Just think of it as helping us."

Captain Liu was a little shaken when he saw how pitiful she said.

Su Qian kept up her efforts, "Our production team is in the mountains, and it takes a long time to walk to the county. It will be more convenient to have a tractor to deliver public grain and other things to the county."

Captain Liu saw that she was speaking pitifully, so he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, "Well, I'll give you another twenty yuan, three hundred and eighty yuan, it's up to you if you want."

Su Qian saw that Captain Liu had a very determined look on his face, and she guessed that he wouldn't offer any less, "That's okay, it's only three hundred and eighty."

Captain Liu looked at her sideways, "Can you make the decision?"

It's not that he looks down on people. Although this little girl is experienced in handling things, she is definitely not the one who can make the decision.

Su Qian smiled and said: "Captain Liu, you don't have to worry about whether I can make the decision or not. You just need to pay the money and deliver the goods."

Captain Liu thought about the same reason. He had to get the money in his hand before he could hand over the tractor.

"Then when will you give me the money? Let's agree first, no credit!"

Susie thought for a moment and said, "If our captain agrees, we will pay you within three days. Do you think that's okay?"

Captain Liu nodded, he could afford to wait for three days.

Su Qian said goodbye to Captain Liu's house, wondering how to contact the second grandfather.

I thought about this all the way back to Wang's house.

The door of the main room was closed, Susie knocked on the door, and the voice of Lao Wang's wife came from inside, "Who is it?"

Susie raised her voice, "It's me, the tenant living in your house."

Lao Wang's wife opened the door to let Susie in, then quickly closed it.

The lamp was lit in the hall, and Lao Wang was reading the letter of introduction carefully under the lamp.

Uncle Liao was not in a hurry and sat beside him, drinking tea leisurely.

Lao Wang looked at it for a while and returned the letter of introduction to Uncle Liao, "What price do you charge for gold?"

Uncle Liao held out two fingers and said, "Two yuan a gram."

Lao Wang blinked, "How much is one gram?"

Susie replied from the side: "One pound is five hundred grams, and one tael is fifty grams."

Lao Wang thought about it in his mind. He borrowed a scale and weighed his gold. It weighed more than three kilograms.

How much does this cost?

Lao Wang didn't understand, so he thought about it and said, "It's only two yuan a gram? That's no good, it's too cheap."

Uncle Liao shook his head, "Two yuan per gram, if you don't bargain, the price will be the same everywhere."

"It doesn't matter whether you sell it or not. If you don't sell it, we will just waste some travel expenses. We will go to Lianzhou early tomorrow morning. There is a lot of gold there, so we usually collect it there."

After Uncle Liao finished speaking, he stood up. Liuzi opened the door, and Susie followed in. The three of them entered the house without closing the door. Susie was thinking about the tractor, so she asked Uncle Liao, "Do you know the telephone number of the commune?"

She finally figured out how to contact her second grandpa just now. She called the commune and asked her second uncle to go to the commune with her second grandpa. She would then call back in two or three hours to talk to her second grandpa.

Uncle Liao nodded, "I know, what's wrong, do you want to call?"

Susie whispered: "It's that tractor. I've agreed on the price with someone. I have to contact the captain to see what he decides."
