Graf is a little embarrassed. Women look at him with wary eyes and men look at him with a little hope. The problem is that he is not the one who can decide. So he took a step back to highlight Dooling''s position, and said in a low voice, "this is our boss."

    The man''s face obviously showed a surprised expression, but his eyes became brighter. In this world where capital is king, if a young man says he wants to buy something valuable, there are only two possibilities.

    He is a liar.

    He is a young master of a rich family.

    I''m afraid a young man who can afford Graf''s size and threatening appearance will not be a liar, and even if he is a liar, nothing here can arouse his interest. Just like those businessmen who asked about the price before, the high price discouraged them. Instead of buying the pasture like wasteland at a premium, they might as well buy wasteland directly.

    Of course, the price of wasteland is indeed cheaper, but there is a small problem here, that is, time.

    Buying land is not a simple thing. Since a ranch tycoon''s crazy enclosure caused public anger, the Empire has become very careful in selling land, and there are many procedures at the same time. For example, the purchase of a piece of wasteland for pasture development or farmland development must first be approved by the "Yaoxing Empire land use office". It will take about 20 days from sending the approval to approval if there are no problems.

    Then we have to win the votes of farmers, herdsmen and a few urban residents around the target land. Only 60% of them pass can we enter the next process.

    No matter what you do to buy a piece of wasteland, it is impossible to buy it completely in two or three months. This is why Du Linming came here knowing that wasteland is cheaper.

    He can''t wait that long, otherwise the three suppliers will go crazy, and he may also be prosecuted for fraud.

    The man''s expression was calmer, put down the lock inside the door, opened the door, "welcome you, no matter whether we can be satisfied in the end, I welcome you."

    He let go of the door. Graf and two members of the hometown Association stood outside the door. It was useless for them to go in. Instead, it might affect Dooling''s subsequent negotiations. Therefore, Graf was smart to avoid such a situation. He didn''t go in.

    Durin followed the man into the supplies. The woman stood aside with a golden brown haired girl in her arms and looked at durin longingly.

    They have been cornered by debt. In the spring of the previous year, they took 800 yuan from a man named Morris in the city and bought 60 calves and some necessities. Unexpectedly, 800 yuan grew to 3000 yuan in only two years. Some time ago, they took away 60 cattle that could be sold for $2000. Unexpectedly, they only offset the principal of $800 and the interest of $2200.

    They can''t get even a penny. They are at the end of the mountain. The other party says that if they can''t get the money together at the end of the month, they will fight the women at home.

    After several waves of businessmen welcomed them and sent them away, the family was desperate, and the man had the determination to die. If the other party really wants to do it, he will definitely do it. Kill one, earn one, and then the family goes on the road together.

    Just when he was in despair, he didn''t expect to encounter a new turn.

    "My name is Hoon." the man asked him to pour a cup of inferior fruit wine to Dulin. Generally speaking, most farmers and herdsmen in the countryside brew some inferior wine by themselves. It doesn''t matter whether it''s good or not. This is one of their few pastimes.

    Doolin raised his hand and lifted the mouth of the wine pot. Hoon put down the wine pot. His hands were uneasy and his fingers shook back and forth, just like his restless heart. "In fact... I know that such a price can''t satisfy anyone, but this is the last thing we can sell." when he looked up, his haggard eyes really made people feel pity, But durin is a businessman. When it comes to trading, he must not be moved by foreign things.

    He just nodded and said he understood. The man showed such an expression, smiled bitterly and said, "how much can you pay?"

    Dooling did not say any price, but asked, "can you tell me about the guy named Morris?"

    The man is a little strange, but this may be the last chance for his family. Whether it''s straw or anything, he must seize it. "Morris is is a provincial elegant man. He runs a deli at the corner of 7th Street. He has some subordinates who specially ''help'' some people who are in urgent need of money. It is said that he is a gang member, so..."

    Through Hoon''s statement, durin felt that the guy named Morris was not too dark. It took two years for 800 yuan to become 3000 yuan. Such a conscientious lender was really "helping" those who were in need. In Dooling''s dream, those financial companies are really black hearts. It only takes two years for a hundred dollars to turn over millions. To say bad luck, we can only say that Hoon chose the wrong direction of investment.

    Of course, all this had nothing to do with him. He took a sip of fruit wine with a slightly astringent smell of fruit, and then slowly put it down. "Mr. hoon, I think I''ve learned that if I decided to buy your farm, are you sure you''d give Morris the money?" he took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it and said slowly: "I don''t want to be involved in any trouble."

    Hoon nodded hard. "Of course, sir, I also want to end all this early and then go back to my hometown to start a new life." Hoon''s eyes shone brightly. At this time, he realized that durin was very likely to buy his farm, which was very good news for him. Once he gets rid of his heavy debt and has a little money in his hand, he can go to another city to be a carpenter, or reclaim some wasteland to be a farmer or herdsman.

    Durin considered for a moment and said, "for the sake of my sympathy for your experience, I can give you 1800 yuan at most." at this time, Hoon''s face suddenly changed. When he wanted to say something, durin raised his hand and stopped him, "If you buy a piece of wasteland with the same area as your pasture, you only need 1500 yuan at most, and you should understand that because of your neglect of management and repair, the pasture is almost no different from the wasteland."

    "I used the extra 300 yuan for two months of approval time. You have earned it. After all, there is no job that can make you and your family earn 300 yuan in two months."

    Seeing that Turin closed his mouth and didn''t speak, Hoon immediately said, "but I owe Morris 2200 yuan, and we still need the fare to leave here, and we need some money to start a new life..."

    Turin smiled and shook his head. "You''ve made a mistake, sir. You owe Morris the money you owe him, not me. All I need is this farm, not to pay you back and give you an extra sum of money to give you time to start a new life." Turin stood up and patted his trouser legs, "I''m just a businessman, not a philanthropist. If you''re willing to sell this ranch for $1800, you can find me at 117 Queen''s road."

    Seeing that Turin was about to leave, Hoon''s hands slowly clenched into fists and his arms were shaking. Seeing that Turin''s foot had stepped out of the door, he fiercely stood up and shouted, etc. when Turin turned back with doubts, Hoon took a deep breath and made his voice less trembling, "I want to discuss with my wife."

    "No problem, then I''ll wait outside the door for a while. You have five minutes."

    The slowly closed door finally closed the gap, and Hoon''s wife and daughter came from the side restaurant. The woman''s face was sad. In fact, the real reason why Hoon asked to keep Turin was that Turin offered the highest price among those who asked for the price. Before Turin came, the highest price was only 1600, and many people offered 12000 Between 1400.

    They just figured out that Hoon urgently needed a sum of money to save his family. He took advantage of the fire and wanted to buy this 480 Mu farm at a very low price!

    As for what to do with the remaining money after selling the land, it is not in the consideration of those businessmen.

    As Dooling said, they are businessmen, not philanthropists.

    "What should I do?" , the wife leaned on Hoon''s arms and hugged her daughter. The huge interest has put the woman on the verge of collapse. If she can''t get enough money by the end of the month, she will choose suicide to protect her virginity. Of course, she will leave with her daughter and won''t let her continue to suffer in the world. Even Hoon made a decision before Dooling came.

    But I hope it appears inadvertently, which makes the family who are desperate and ready to fight with their lives suddenly improve again. There is only a gap of 400 yuan between 1800 yuan and 2200 yuan. 400 yuan is indeed a lot, but there may not be no way at all.

    The daughter looked at her sad parents and suddenly asked, "why can''t you sell it twice?"

    Hoon didn''t react yet. He said something, but his wife reacted very quickly. She immediately squatted down, grabbed her daughter''s shoulder with both hands and asked, "you just said to sell twice? Didn''t I hear you wrong, sold twice?"

    The daughter nodded and said what had happened in the school these days.

    In her rural school, there is a classmate who has good family conditions and likes reading comics very much. This classmate often sells the comics he has seen to other students at the depreciated price. He can add some and buy a new comics. Two days ago, this classmate was called away by the teacher. Later, everyone knew that he agreed to sell the comics to a and on his way home The money for selling comics was lost.

    The students who suffered losses were unwilling to lose their money and had no comics. They quietly sold the comics to b.

    Hoon and his wife looked at each other and were silent for a long time
