Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Not Even a Penny More!_1
Just as Yang Meifeng had guessed, Luo Shanchuan indeed had his eye on the set of rosewood furniture his father had purchased.
The classic, timeless design of the yellow rosewood from Qiongzhou Island complemented the decor of the Platinum Sharp No. 1 living room perfectly.
Most importantly, since his father’s death, he had not kept a single item belonging to his father.
Now, seeing the rosewood furniture his father had bought years ago stirred an unexpected wave of sentimentality within him.
It was less about buying furniture and more about purchasing the remnants of a father-son relationship.
"Sigh."
Luo Shanchuan didn’t make any excuses, he just offered a bitter smile, his eyes filled with helplessness.
At that moment, Mo Han spoke up, "Dad, I actually think it’s very likely that Luo Yuantu and the others will contact you."
Luo Shanchuan looked up, surprised, and asked, "Why?"
"It’s obviously about the money!"
Mo Han chuckled and said, "With rosewood furniture, there are a lot of fakes out there, and most buyers would require the seller to provide an official invoice and related certificates."
"But Luo Yuantu and the others have lost the invoice and certificates, so even though the rosewood furniture has been well-preserved for seven years, because of the lack of documentation, many furniture stores wouldn’t dare to take it."
"Even if they dared to take it, the price wouldn’t be very high."
"The Yunfang Furniture store we just visited only offered 650,000, and it’s the largest and strongest furniture store in the market. If they’re only willing to pay 650,000, other stores would at most offer 500,000."
"Dad, do you think Luo Yuantu and the others would be content with that?"
Upon hearing those words, Luo Shanchuan bowed his head and pondered for a while.
The Luo Family had already gone bankrupt, and the villa belonging to Old Lady Luo had been sealed by the bank and was soon to be auctioned off.
Worse, his sister-in-law Chen Guihua had taken all the Luo Family’s money and absconded, leaving the family without much cash to their names.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that his mother and older brother were likely at the poorest point in their lives.
Based on his many years of knowing them, if they couldn’t sell the furniture for a high price, there was a real possibility they might come to him.
Yang Meifeng had obviously thought of this too, and she said with a smile, "Right! Yunfang Furniture is offering 650,000, but you could offer 800,000—that’s a full 150,000 difference!"
"That old fox is too cunning to ignore the extra 150,000 just because of spite."
"Hehe, let’s go home and wait for Luo Yuantu and the others to come to us. When the time comes, I’ll give them a good dressing-down!"
Luo Shanchuan was a good-natured man, and hearing his wife say this, he shook his head and urged, "Mei Feng, let bygones be bygones. Mom and big brother are already in such a state, there’s no need to haggle with them..."
"Not haggle? Why not!"
Yang Meifeng retorted disdainfully, "They could bully me before, and now I can’t even enjoy myself by bullying them back? Where’s the logic in that!"
"You, you!"
Luo Shanchuan was lost for words. He glanced at Mo Han, who just smiled faintly and said, "Talking about this is useless right now. We didn’t like any of the furniture in that store anyways, let’s head back."
"Right."
...
Half an hour later, Mo Han drove his in-laws back home.
No sooner had they stepped foot in the yard than Luo Shanchuan’s phone rang—it was his older brother Luo Yuantu calling.
"Shanchuan! I want to ask you, was it true when Mo Han said he’d offer 800,000 for that set of furniture?"
Luo Shanchuan took a deep breath and replied, "It’s true."
On the phone, Luo Yuantu said solemnly, "Can you raise the price a bit, make it a round number, how about 1 million?"
As it turned out, after leaving Yunfang Furniture, Old Lady Luo and her family had visited seven or eight other stores. These stores showed some interest in Old Lady Luo’s furniture. However, once they learned there were no invoices or any other certificates, most of them were discouraged from pursuing it further.
In recent years, the rosewood furniture market had been flooded with fakes.
Even if the goods were genuine, without invoices, the store owners were worried about the legitimacy of their sources.
Finally, two stores were willing to take the furniture, but one offered only 300,000, and the other 280,000. Additionally, both required Luo Yuantu and the others to sign a guarantee at the police station, ensuring the sources were legitimate and reliable. In case of any dispute, all the responsibility would fall on Luo Yuantu.
The furniture set was originally smuggled out of Warehouse No. 2 by Luo Yuantu himself.
Under normal circumstances, since the Luo Group had gone bankrupt, all their assets should have been mortgaged, this set of rosewood furniture included.
If they really had to go to the police station to sign any kind of agreement with the store, and the bank found out, all their previous efforts would have been in vain.
What infuriated Old Lady Luo and the others most was that they turned back to negotiate the price with Manager Wei and Huang Shasha of Yunfang Furniture.
Who would have thought, Huang Shasha had been dismissed, and Manager Wei was currently entertaining important guests and had no time to spare for them.
After discussing with his mother, Luo Yuantu decided to swallow his pride and seek out his younger brother Luo Shanchuan.
After all, Mo Han had just said he could offer 800,000.
Eager for that set of rosewood furniture, Luo Shanchuan was keen on the idea, but 1 million was a decision he couldn’t make on his own, so he looked to Mo Han.
Mo Han took the phone and said flatly, "Luo Yuantu, it’s a flat rate of 800,000 delivered to Platinum Sharp No. 1. Not a penny more, or I don’t want it!"
Seeing how firm the other party was, Luo Yuantu exchanged a glance with his mother, who, resigned, nodded assent.
Luo Yuantu bit his lip and said, "Fine, 800,000 it is! But we want cash! Do you have it?"
The reason they demanded cash was because the Luo family members were blacklisted by the bank, flagged as judgment debtors. If any money appeared in WeChat Wallet, Alipay, or their bank accounts, the bank would directly confiscate it.
"Sure!"
Mo Han replied indifferently, "Deliver the furniture to Platinum Sharp No. 1 in one hour. After I check it and there are no issues, I’ll pay you directly!"
