Chapter 45: Repairing Corpse Wood and Corpse-Eating Insects
I unplugged the phone line to prevent ghost calls from coming in again, and took out my cell phone to call Lao Feng.
After I finally got through, Lao Feng told me that I had just gone to Kyoto on a business trip.
He was very polite and asked me if I needed help. Although he was not in the provincial capital, he could still ask for help from others.
I hesitated for a moment, but refused again and again, then turned around and called Zhao Fei.
Although Zhao Fei is not very reliable or loyal, he has been in the circle all year round and can be regarded as well-rounded and well-informed.
If you ask him to help you palm your eyes, you should have a low chance of being tricked.
After the call was connected, Zhao Fei was very happy to hear that I wanted to ask him for help, and said generously: "Old He! You are right to ask me for this matter!" "
I tell you, buy things and sell things. Pulling strings and pulling ropes, that's what I do, brother!"
"You must have approached that reckless man Feng Lili, right?"
"He is a good fighter, but he is not very popular! If you ask him for help, it will be fine if others see him. I don’t want to trick you, but I have to trick you for his sake!”
I frowned and said, “Old Feng’s popularity is so bad?”
Zhao Fei chuckled: “He is the spokesperson of the official family. , how popular can I be?"
"Brother, I am different. Brother, I take both black and white. When it comes to social relations and business, brother, I am a hundred times better than him!"
I sneered; "So powerful? How about that? Why don't you go talk to the Qi family and Yu Bushun from northwest Shanxi and resolve the conflict between us?"
Zhao Fei immediately stopped talking.
After a while, he said: "Lao He, my good brother, you two brothers are too troublesome. Let's not talk about this first. Let's buy something first." "
Tell me first, what are you buying? "
I answered quickly: "Corpse wood, ghost tears, and corpse-eating insects."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fei made a pop sound, as if he choked when drinking water.
He made a fuss and said: "Old He, do you know what these three things are for? How much do they cost?"
I said impatiently: "I don't care how much you pay. If you can help me buy it, I will buy it. If you can't, I will buy it for you." I'll find someone else!"
Zhao Fei said hurriedly: "Don't, don't."
"I'm telling you, corpse wood is used for carving. It's usually a piece the size of an arm. If it's carved into a human image, it can attract people. If the souls of the dead get inside, and if a layer of evil-suppressing runes are added on the surface, it will be the best prison for the souls of the dead." "
Last year, one appeared at the Kyoto auction. It was as thick as a forearm and as long as it was. It was sold. Three million."
My heart skipped a beat, shit.
three million! How about playing?
I said nothing, and Zhao Fei said again: "Ghost tears are used to soften the corpse king. At the level of the corpse king, the soft corpse incense is useless, but ghost tears are the most miraculous. This thing is more expensive than repairing corpse wood Higher, because as long as you find the corpse wood in the right place, it is not a problem to cut it into ten or eight sections."
"Ghost Tears are not good, you have to rely on luck to find them! The current market price of Ghost Tears in the circle is about five It’s about one million, and even if there is any, it’s from northwestern Shanxi.”
I felt even more uncomfortable.
Five million, and it’s from Yu Bushun in the north of Shanxi Province.
It’s probably not easy to buy if you have money.
As for corpse-eating bugs, they are even rarer. The magicians from Siam may have them, but even if they do, they usually don't sell them. That is the best thing about the evil magician as a poisonous insect.
I got a little impatient and said, "Can you do it? I'll prepare the money. You're just responsible for pulling the strings, bargaining, and identifying the authenticity!" "After the
deal is completed, I'll give you a commission of 10,000 yuan!" For a million-dollar transaction, a commission of 10,000 yuan is actually very small.
But I really didn’t plan to give him much. Who let this guy trick me the first time?
Zhao Fei said: "Old He, I don't care if I don't charge you! But I'm done with my cheating on you before. If that's okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow and let's go to Fangbei Trading Place to have a look!" "
As long as you The money is ready, and I promise to get it for you at the cheapest price!"
After hanging up the phone, I lay on the chair at the front desk and squinted for a while. It wasn't until the alarm rang that I picked up the gold-plated invitation on the table and prepared to get off work.
When I saw the invitation, I couldn't help but mutter. I chose to send the invitation in the middle of the night, and I didn't know who had the idea.
Seeing that it was still early, I went back to the dormitory, took a shower, and lay on the bed to sleep for a while.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that I was woken up by Zhao Fei's phone call. This guy was already waiting for me outside.
I put my bank card and invitation in my pocket, changed my clothes and hurried out.
On the way, I even asked Zhao Fei to take a turn to go to the bank.
In the ATM machine, I checked the balance of my bank card to avoid running out of money and causing trouble.
When I saw the balance, I was completely stunned.
Damn it, the boss is so rich?
That series of zeros, I lost count for a while!
More than thirty million!
It’s all cash!
The boss told me his bank card and password so easily, so he wasn't afraid that I would run away with the money?
Isn't this guy a little too arrogant?
I muttered, but my heart was touched. Judging from this point alone, Zhang Sanfen already has great trust in me.
Zhao Fei, who was waiting for me outside, urged impatiently: "Lao He, can you do it? If you don't have enough money, I'll lend you some, just stamp your funeral home's seal!"
I said, "Do you think my boss will be short of money?" You have this little money? Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and lead the way!"
This fair was held by Fangbei Commercial Bank, and it was also a monthly practice.
You must know that the business of collecting corpses is very profitable, but it also requires a lot of things.
Most people are ignorant of these things, and no one will recognize them even if they are placed in front of them. So there is a group of businessmen who specialize in collecting all kinds of weird gadgets from the people, and then sell them to the experts in the circle at high prices.
This is basically a hugely profitable deal.
For example, lightning-strike wood is quite rare among the people. Ordinary families cut down the big trees and use them as firewood.
But if you are met by a businessman, you can buy it for two to three hundred and put it at a trade fair, and it can sell for hundreds of thousands in minutes.
Another example is some weird purple cinnabar in the cinnabar mine. Ordinary people would treat it as impurities, remove it from the cinnabar ore, and throw it away.
But if it is seen by merchants, it will be recycled as scrap and sold at the trade fair for just a pound! It’s no different than gold!
Not to mention, there are still many people buying these.
Because cinnabar wards off evil spirits, purple cinnabar is the best among cinnabars!
Although the color is a bit strange, once it is ground into powder and a spell is written on the corpse king, even the most powerful zombies will not be able to jump up.
Inside the handbag Zhang Sanfen gave me, there was a small jar of purple cinnabar.
It is because of this cognitive bias that the business in this industry has become extremely popular.
The masters in the industry can earn up to 100,000 or 80,000 yuan every time they take a job, and there are many who earn millions a month.
When it comes to spending some money to buy something more powerful, they are unequivocal that spending a lot of money is considered light.
For example, the combined price of these three things I want to buy today is close to tens of millions!
