Chapter 1408 An unexpected surprise
"Only your grandfather Mu is easy to talk to-"
"Is he easy to talk to?"
The young man couldn't help but retort to Mr. Zhou in a low voice.
He had tried to persuade and beg so hard, but Grandpa Mu didn't respond at all.
Is it still possible to talk like this?
The young man thought that Mr. Zhou might have some misunderstanding about being easy to talk to.
"Still not easy to talk to?"
Mr. Zhou glared at the young man and said, "I just want you to take the wood carving back."
"You don't need to do anything else."
"I just forgot about that, too."
"You didn't even say sorry to your grandfather Mu."
"Remember to make up for it tomorrow."
"Apologize properly, you hear me?"
"."
Mr. Zhou raised his voice, "Did you hear that?"
"heard it."
The young man yelled back in annoyance, and then muttered impatiently, "So annoying."
……
“I am the one who has been most affected by this incident.”
The young man still felt a little unwilling and couldn't help muttering, "What if no one believes in what I have in the future..."
"you deserve it."
Mr. Zhou cursed.
But after all, he was his son whom he had spoiled since childhood. Seeing the young man's depressed look, the old man still comforted him, "It's okay."
"It's hard for others to say."
"But your grandfather Mu will not tell this to anyone."
"Even if other people hear some rumors, if the person involved doesn't say anything, it's just hearsay after all."
"So, you should thank your Grandpa Mu."
Thinking of his son's behavior just now, Mr. Zhou frowned again, "You still have that attitude?"
"If Grandpa Mu didn't come, nothing would happen."
The young man was still somewhat reluctant.
"You little brat, why don't you just stop selling the birthday presents people gave you?"
Mr. Zhou patted his chest.
He was really pissed off by this brat.
"Is our family bankrupt, or are you in debt?"
"You've fallen so low that you have to sell the birthday presents people gave you to make money?"
"You are so careless in doing things!"
"You just want to make a fool of yourself, don't you?"
……
“I never thought about selling wood carvings.”
The young man objected somewhat fiercely, then lowered his voice and said, "I like that wood sculpture, too."
“But you sold the wood carving.”
Mr. Zhou calmly stated the facts, "He even lied to people that it was a work by a Qing Dynasty master and sold it for a high price."
"I didn't expect it either."
The young man explained, "This time, someone really saw the wood carvings in my hands and liked them, so he came to me and asked to buy them."
“Then you don’t have to sell it.”
Mr. Zhou is not that easy to fool.
"I didn't plan to sell it at first, and I told people it was a birthday gift from an elder."
Seeing that Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, the young man continued, "But the other party said it doesn't matter if it's a little expensive. He really likes this wood carving."
"Then you said it was a wood carving by a Qing Dynasty master and raised the price?"
There was no need for the young man to continue speaking, as Mr. Zhou continued the story.
"……Correct."
The young man was a little embarrassed. "On the one hand, I thought that if I could raise the price a little bit, I would raise it a little bit."
He didn't deny that he was a little greedy at the time.
Especially when you see that the other party is acting like a wealthy person who is sincere in buying the product and thinks price is not an issue.
"On the one hand, I was thinking that if the other party thought the price was too high and didn't buy it, then I would just give up on that idea."
"I know that it's not a good idea to resell the gift."
"You still know it's not good."
Mr. Zhou stabbed his son. "Then... who can't get along with money?"
The young man was quite confident, "The other party offered such a high price and was so sincere, I would feel embarrassed if I didn't sell it to him."
"A bunch of nonsense."
Mr. Zhou was not happy.
"That's right, Dad."
The young man asked cautiously, "That money..."
He hasn't even warmed up the car he just bought.
And all his friends knew that he bought a new car.
It's only been a few days and the car is gone, and the reason is hard to explain. How can he meet his friends?
"money……"
Mr. Zhou groaned, "Don't move your car."
"You are an adult now, it's time to have a car."
"Come to think of it, you're the same. You just bought a car without hesitation. Why didn't you discuss such a large expenditure with us?"
Mr. Zhou glared at the young man again, "You are really getting more and more outrageous."
"Isn't this a surprise for you?"
The man sneered.
"surprise?"
Mr. Zhou sneered, "You've given us quite a few surprises."
The man had a silly smile on his face.
"okay."
Mr. Zhou waved his hand and said, "We'll see what happens when we meet the person tomorrow."
"Dad paid for you."
"Thank you dad."
The man smiled in a somewhat flattering manner.
"You little brat, you wanted a car but you didn't tell your dad, you insisted on..."
Mr. Zhou couldn't help but start scolding again.
"Accident, accident."
The man cried helplessly, "This time it was really an accident."
……
The next day, everyone met in Gumuxuan.
The buyer was a middle-aged man, very easy to talk to.
The main reason is that this man really likes Mu Lao’s wood carvings.
I think Mu Lao’s wood carvings are very spiritual.
Yesterday's words from Mr. Mu also made him admire this somewhat "pedantic" craftsman who is rare nowadays.
He simply said that the money did not need to be returned.
He also placed another order, hoping that Mu Lao could carve a large piece for him to be placed in his office.
Mr. Mu said that he would not charge for this big item, even if it was worth the 500,000.
The middle-aged man disagreed.
Let’s keep things one thing at a time.
In fact, the middle-aged man knew clearly that Master Mu had not received the money for the wood carving.
It was Zhou Mingbao himself who lied to him that the wood carving was the work of a Qing Dynasty master.
Master Mu himself knew nothing about it.
How can we make Master Mu pay for this behavior?
This is so unfair to Master Mu.
……
Both sides insisted on not giving in, and Mr. Zhou advised Mr. Mu that it was not a solution to continue like this.
Let Mu Lao accept the other party's proposal.
If you really feel uncomfortable, just give the other party a discount when the time comes.
After all, it was his son who did something wrong, not Mr. Mu.
Why are you being so polite here, Mr. Mu?
If you open a business, how can you push business away?
……
Under everyone's unanimous persuasion, Mu Lao accepted the middle-aged man's order.
When the goods were finally delivered, Mr. Mu gave the other party a 20% discount.
This was agreed upon at the beginning. Others were also worried that the old man would ask for a discount at that time, so they directly gave the other party a very low discount.
Then the previous debate is meaningless.
……
Because of this incident, Mr. Mu gained a customer who truly liked his wood carvings, which was an unexpected surprise.
