Looks like a reject but can it be saved

Hi - this is my first bonsai project.

Punica Granatum石榴

It does not even look like a bonsai to me, but untill I find a bonsai supplier in darkest shanghai this is all i can get. (They tried to convince me that wire cutting into the trunk was a good thing on an Elm they tried to sell me!)

I was thinking this weird thing needs to be cut right down, or at least to cut off the smaller branch/trunk that is growing from the base. It has a crappy stub near the bottom which looks like some body could not be bothered!

Can it be saved, by me, a beginner? Any suggestions will help me to get started.
