Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

The people behind the mayor lowered their voices and secretly tugged at the mayor's arm, telling him not to suffer a loss now.

The mayor stared anxiously at the pile of good timber behind the bodyguards, sweating profusely and feeling his heart bleed!

That's a piece of fine wood that's over a hundred years old!

The best quality ones can sell for two thousand yuan per kilogram!

Those are the most valuable pieces of wood in the entire White Crane Town.

but……

just now……

He was actually going to stand by and watch as a brat who wasn't even an adult would monopolize all that wood and become a multi-millionaire!

……

house.

Da Bai took out the various receipts stored in the wooden cabinet and showed them to Lin Chen and the others.

The family fortune accumulated by her ancestors was not originally intended for her.

After all, she is a girl.

In such isolated rural areas, there has always been a serious preference for sons over daughters.

If her father hadn't been unable to have a son, she would never have had these things.

But now, she's all alone in the house.

No matter how you look at it, she was the only one who knew all this.

Da Bai sat on the small stool, quietly waiting for Lin Chen and the others to reach a conclusion.

"This wood is exceptionally good."

Lin Chen had originally just come to watch the spectacle, but after examining the quality of the wood and the certificates, his expression turned serious.

He quickly handed the item to Lu Chengzhou and asked him to take another look.

Lu Chengzhou doesn't know anything about wood, but Sister Meng is quite knowledgeable about it.

He took pictures of these materials and sent them to Sister Meng.

In less than three minutes, Sister Meng had a conclusion and sent the following message: "I'll take as much of this sandalwood as you have, and the price is negotiable!"

Lin Chen felt a little reluctant when he saw that the Meng family wanted this batch of wood.

However, since it concerned the overall situation, he still informed his elderly father of the current situation.

Lin Chen's father, who was able to become the richest man in Yicheng, must be well-versed in interpersonal relationships.

Having just received the message, he replied to Lin Chen: "If the Meng family wants it, just buy it and give it to them!"

Master Lin has always wanted to establish a business relationship with the Meng family, so how could he not cherish such an opportunity?

A mere ten million worth of sandalwood, if only we could truly befriend the Meng family.

That means we can generate at least an extra 100 million yuan in profit every year from now on.

This is not a difficult problem to solve!

Lin Chen hissed, thinking to himself, "My father is really willing to spend so much."

Such fine wood, crafted into furniture for personal enjoyment, would be a source of immense pride.

result……

Sigh, I had no choice but to follow my father's arrangement and give them to the Meng family.

"How much do you think this wood costs?"

Lin Chen looked at Big White.

After a moment of contemplation, Da Bai said, "I've checked the market price. It ranges from 300 yuan per jin to 2000 yuan per jin. My batch of wood is all old wood, the best kind. I'll ask for at least that price."

As she spoke, she gestured with her fingers.

Before Lin Chen could speak, Lu Chengzhou rejected her.

"1500 is too high. You only have a few good ones here."

As he spoke, he offered a new price: "I won't pick and choose your wood. I'll pack it up and take it all for you. I'll give you a thousand."

Big White pursed his lips, looking somewhat unwilling.

Lu Chengzhou took a sip of tea and said slowly, "You don't have to sell it."

Big White snorted coldly: "Fine, I won't sell! You want to bully a child, huh?"

That's not how you bargain!

If it's 500 yuan less per pound, that pile would be nearly a million yuan less!

Lu Chengzhou laughed and said, "But I wonder if you've ever heard the saying, 'A gentleman is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime'?"

"If you don't sell them now, they'll become a hot potato."

"After we leave, I don't need to tell you how your mayor will treat you, or how he will treat them, do you?"

"You'd better think this through."

Threat!

A blatant threat!

Upon hearing this, Da Bai's expression instantly changed.

She could hear the commotion of the villagers outside, and the thought of how they had treated her sent chills down her spine.

Such a large pile of sandalwood is like a hot potato.

“If you miss out on buyers like us, it will be difficult to find someone else to acquire them,” Lu Chengzhou added slowly.

Big White took a deep breath.

His expression turned ugly.

Yes, Lu Chengzhou is right.

Everyone knows these pieces of wood are valuable, but how many people can come up with tens of millions to buy them?

If the transaction isn't conducted in cash, then there's absolutely no guarantee whatsoever.

Moreover, after this incident, the townspeople now hate her to the core.

She won't be staying here much longer.

Thinking of this, Da Bai gritted his teeth, glared at Lu Chengzhou hatefully, and agreed to the deal!

Lin Chen gasped.

They actually managed to get Lu Chengzhou to agree to the deal?!

At this price, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything like it, even with a lantern.

Even if you don't make furniture from it, you can resell it for two thousand yuan per kilogram without any problem!

In an instant, Lin Chen's admiration for Lu Chengzhou reached a new level.

In his eyes, Lu Chengzhou was no longer just his life mentor and savior, but also a potential business advisor for the future!

……

An hour later.

All the sandalwood was weighed and its weight recorded.

Lin Chen paid the money readily, which brought a slight smile to Da Bai's face.

However, the villagers standing on the periphery all had tears in their eyes when they saw this scene.

"Mayor! Did she really sell those logs?"

"No, Mayor, that's public property!"

"Her parents are gone, so all her property should be confiscated!"

"Mayor, say something!"

The crowd chimed in, urging the town mayor on.

The town mayor was also envious and eager, to the point of obsession.

But what could he do besides stand there and watch the wood being moved away?

The Lin family's bodyguards are blocking them!

More than a dozen burly men, each carrying professional weapons, each capable of taking on ten men at once.

Even if they brought all their hoes and sticks, they would only be delivering vegetables to each other.

"Stop arguing!"

The mayor roared, turned his back, and stormed off.

"Huh? Mayor, you're leaving already!"

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to do your job?"

"They're loading up and leaving, Mayor!"

The villagers were envious and eager, but it was all in vain.

Lin Chen had someone drive them away first.

Lu Chengzhou sized up the villagers, roughly anticipating that they would try to stop him again.

So, in front of these people, he added:

“I have already called the police. If our car is involved in an accident, everyone present will be held responsible.”

Upon hearing this, the few people who had been harboring wicked thoughts all lowered their heads.

The hatred in his heart had reached its limit.

But if you have no ability, what can you do even if you're angry?
