Returning to the small mountain village of '86, intelligence updated daily.

Seeing how sensible Zhou Rui was, Li Dehua's gloomy expression vanished instantly, and his tone softened considerably.

"Hey, Zhou kid, you're doing well! I won't let you lose out, so it'll be 15 yuan as you said, and I'll give you an extra yuan."

As he spoke, Li Dehua deftly counted out seven banknotes from his leather wallet and handed them to Zhou Rui, including one large bill.

Seeing this, Zhao Jianjun angrily pointed at Zhou Rui, but when he heard that Zhou Rui wanted to compensate him with several kilograms of meat, he didn't lash out.

Instead, he sighed deeply and said something cryptic.

"Li Dehua, I'll let you off this time, out of respect for Old Master Zhou and Brother Zhou..."

"If you try to take my things again next time, that's really not fair."

Li Dehua smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you both for giving me, Li Dehua, this face. If you need anything in the village in the future, just come to me."

After Li Dehua finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the street. Before leaving, he told Zhou Rui not to forget to take the things to him.

Zhou Rui watched Li Dehua's retreating figure, feeling no enthusiasm whatsoever, and paying no heed to the other's words.

Just listen to what this kind of person says, and never take it seriously.

At the same time, Zhou Rui felt disgusted by his actions, but there was nothing he could do.

He is still too weak to compete with Li Dehua.

Now, the only way to get a little money from the other party is through these subtle methods, even if it's not much.

You can't provoke someone who is unreasonable, vengeful, and short-tempered; otherwise, your current size simply won't be able to withstand their retaliation.

Now, the other party suffers a loss but still happily thanks them, and instead of becoming enemies, they become closer to us, even though this closeness is very superficial.

But at least we won't offend anyone...

The Zhou family needs time to develop and needs to lie low.

Zhou Rui's thoughts drifted, and his gaze slowly turned cold, no longer the same as before.

Although Zhao Jianjun couldn't see Zhou Rui's face directly, he could sense that Zhou Rui was completely different from before.

The moment this feeling arose in his mind, a series of thoughts spread like a plague, causing him to feel a chill.

This kid is so cunning! Thank goodness... he might become one of our own in the future. This kind of person can only be a friend, never an enemy.

Fortunately, I placed a big bet from the beginning. Xiaolan treated his family well, and he is not an ungrateful person, as can be seen from his attitude towards my family.

He's clear about right and wrong, has a strong personality, is intelligent, can endure, and dares to love and hate. Zhou Rui, oh Zhou Rui... how far can you go in the future?

Zhao Jianjun was glad that he had a sharp eye.

With just a few words, this young man not only swindled Li Dehua out of nearly 10 yuan in "big unity" notes, but also made the man leave happily...

It should be noted that the price of deer tail, even in county towns, is at most eleven or twelve yuan, and in townships it is usually less than ten yuan.

But after Zhou Rui's maneuvering, the price almost doubled!

While luck played a part, Zhou Rui's control over people's hearts was also astonishing.

Zhou Rui turned his head, the coldness on his face gone, and thanked Zhao Jianjun:

"Uncle Zhao, thank you for your cooperation just now. Without you, this deal would have been difficult to close, and we wouldn't have made that much money."

Zhou Rui thanked him sincerely. The two of them had complemented each other perfectly, and even Zhou Shiwei, who was standing next to them, was stunned.

No, you can play it like this?

A question mark popped into Zhou Shiwei's mind, but he didn't say anything. The whole day had been Zhou Rui's personal show.

He stood beside Zhou Rui like a bodyguard, but it was precisely because of his presence that some people dared not act recklessly.

Zhou Shijie seemed to have gotten used to it, standing behind the tricycle carefully wiping the kitchen knife.

Zhao Jianjun waved his hand, then said with a hint of regret:

"It's alright, the tacit understanding between us uncle and nephew is truly remarkable. However, it's a pity about the deer antler. If the deer antler were still here... sigh~"

Zhao Jianjun subconsciously assumed that the deer antlers had already been sold, and he sighed after saying that.

However, just as he sighed, Zhou Rui smiled mysteriously and said:

"Uncle Zhao, I've saved this for you. I didn't sell the deer antlers. Oh, and the deer hide too. I know you own a textile factory. You can use that deer hide to make clothes."

"I believe that if we make them into clothes, we could sell them for some money."

After listening, Zhao Jianjun pushed up his glasses, utterly shocked:

"What? You really kept it and didn't sell it?"

Zhao Jianjun never expected that Zhou Rui would not sell it. The most valuable part of a deer is actually its antlers!

Zhou Rui, who had already packed his things and was ready to leave, nodded and then answered with great certainty:

"Not only that, but they also didn't sell deer blood. Well, Li Dehua bought the deer penis for 140."

After Zhou Rui finished packing, he followed his father, Zhou Shiwei, pushing the tricycle away. Zhao Jianjun hurriedly got on his motorcycle and slowed down to follow Zhou Rui.

"140? You mean a deer penis sold for 140?!"

Zhao Jianjun's worldview was once again shattered by Zhou Rui. He knew the selling price of these things: 140 yuan for a single deer penis, which was already seriously inflated.

At least at the township level, it's extremely rare to see something sell for this price.

Moreover, after hearing that Zhou Rui had sold deer tendons at high prices, Zhao Jianjun's shock deepened once again.

Sometimes, a small detail can change the course of an event.

For example, in this case of selling the by-products of the water deer, Zhou Rui perfectly took advantage of the different needs of the three parties and their respective competitive mentality.

He wasn't just sitting idly by and watching all of this happen. Just now, he even exaggerated and amplified his knowledge of the various parts of the wild deer from his previous life, as well as their medicinal value.

Many of the employees were completely taken aback.

Then, through actions and words, they quietly raised the price of water deer by-products considerably.

The same method was used when selling wild boars last time; the method was actually very simple, and Zhou Rui had tried it many times without success.

This reminded Zhou Rui of a gimmick used by itinerant merchants in his previous life to sell their goods:

"Jiangnan Leather Factory! Jiangnan Leather Factory! The biggest leather factory has gone bankrupt! Bankrupt! The boss ran away with his mistress..."

Zhou Rui simply used this method, emphasizing the gimmick, to perfectly sell venison at a high price of 3 yuan per kilogram.

Hearing Zhao Jianjun's surprise, Zhou Rui just smiled shyly, then scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:

"That was the price he insisted on... I couldn't do anything about it..."

Zhao Jianjun: "..."

After pausing for a moment, Zhao Jianjun managed to utter another sentence:

"He insisted, so you gave it to him?"

Zhou Rui smiled shyly again:

"There was nothing I could do. He insisted on having that thing, so I had no choice but to give it to him, even though it hurt."

"Hmm...he should thank us."

Zhou Rui was telling the truth; there was nothing he could do. The three of them were arguing so fiercely that they were red in the face, and he couldn't get involved.

Who would have thought that Li Dehua could be so weak?

No, Zhou Rui knows...
