Chapter 97 Bargaining

Mo Yi quoted a price of one thousand taels.

Shopkeeper Zhao immediately looked helpless and amused: "Miss... Miss Mo!"

He pushed the tray in front of Mo Yi and said, "You are really joking! These five pieces together can't even be sold for two hundred taels! Tsk tsk, such a valuable thing, you better put it away quickly!"

Mo Yi was not panicked: "Uncle Zhao, there are so many treasures in your store, and I dare not ask for them because they are too expensive. I am afraid that I can't even buy one with one thousand taels of silver, right?

So, this price is really not high! Besides, this is consignment, and you don’t have to pay for it. At most, it will cost the clerk some time to talk. You won’t lose if you don’t sell it. As long as you sell it, you will make a profit! It’s just a matter of how much!”

"That's not what I mean, girl! Those customers who buy these from you won't buy other goods in my store. You pick up sesame seeds here and lose watermelons there!"

"But these things of ours are only suitable for little girls. The distinguished customers who come to your store are all those who spend a lot of money. These are just things they buy by the way. How can they affect the treasures in your store?"

"Little girl, you are so arrogant!" Shopkeeper Zhao said with a sneer on his face.

He thought: You two, father and daughter, have come to my shop so many times. Every time you just look around but don't buy anything, you drink tea and eat snacks, but I didn't expect that you like to brag!

But looking at Mo Yi's bright eyes like a little adult, he sighed again: "Originally, I thought that Mr. Mo and Miss came here often, although they never bought anything in my store... But to be honest, doing this business, making money is one part, and the other part is because I really like it.

Mr. Mo and the young lady are kindred spirits, so it is not a bad idea for you to help her privately. But the price you are paying...I am sorry that I cannot accept it. The item is good, please use it yourself. Or...go ask somewhere else?"

"Uncle Zhao, you have to know that my father brought these back from thousands of miles away. There aren't many of them! How about I leave them with you first, and then you decide if you'd like to sell them?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, his smile faded, "No, no! Well... I think it's better to do this: Miss, you keep it yourself first, and I'll ask for you when the time comes. If there are customers who want it, I'll let you bring it over for a look."

This was an obvious refusal. Mo Ruhai was extremely anxious. From what Manager Zhao said, he felt that it was still possible to accept the purchase, but he felt that the price was too high.

Lower the price, girl!

These five pieces totaling two hundred taels are worth a lot, and quite a lot!

Mo Yi looked regretful and stared at the shopkeeper: "Then...why don't you keep one piece first?!"

"Miss... I'm just the shopkeeper, not the boss. I understand what you mean. I'll ask the boss for you later and give you a reply!"

This is a real refusal.

Mo Ruhai was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. Lower the price, silly girl!

Mo Yi sighed with some regret and prepared to pack up: "Alas. I know what you said makes sense. But we feel bad in our hearts. After all, we carried it so far... In the future, we will never have the chance to go there again. If we can't even get back the money for the trip... Alas!"

Shopkeeper Zhao talked for a long time and felt very bored!

I had good intentions and wanted to help the father and daughter, but I didn't expect this girl to be so tenacious that I had to spend so much time talking to her! What did I want?

You conceited little girl, try this on me!

"Then the girl..."

At this moment, a young woman came into the store, followed by two girls.

There were two maids and a servant behind her, and look, there was a male servant standing at the door.

From the look of their attire and demeanor, one can tell that they are the wives and daughters of wealthy and powerful families.

The waiter had already bowed and greeted them. When Shopkeeper Zhao saw them, he immediately went over to greet them. He stood a few steps away from the women and their group, smiling and bowing solemnly: "Mrs. Wang, Miss Wang. Welcome!"

He turned around and told the waiter, "Hurry up and ask Master Li to come out!"

The clerk hurried to the back, and soon a respectable female clerk came out, also with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Wang, Miss Wang, Miss Li! Welcome! Please go upstairs for a cup of tea?"

As long as guests come once, they will remember it.

Besides, the Wang family is a big customer of the store.

The young woman, with a dignified demeanor, shook her head gently, "I won't go up today! I have other things to do later. An elder at home is celebrating his birthday, and I want to find a gift. Let's see if you have any rare items in your store!"

"Madam, your filial piety is truly admirable... Then please sit over here, Madam!"

Even though people say they don't want to drink tea, the shopkeeper and his waiters won't slack off.

The waiter quietly and quickly prepared tea, preserved fruits, and snacks, arranged them in an attractive manner, and placed them on the small table in front of them.

The young woman sat down and the female chef came over to her and listened to the customer's request first.

The two little girls didn't sit down. They walked around the shop, looking at things and whispering to each other.

Mo Yi stopped packing halfway, thinking that he would try again after the customer left. He saw the clerk over there take out a rare item, then another...

Even from a distance, it's so frightening.

Alas... She sighed in her heart, it’s good to be rich and powerful!

Looking at these in my hands...they are indeed insignificant little things.

Shopkeeper Zhao can obviously keep it... If you think the price I quoted is too high, you can bargain it down!

A few rounds of back and forth, isn't that what business talks are all about? ?

But he refused to bargain and told me to lower the price myself. How much should I lower the price by?

Not following the routine... Humph, he has the nerve to bully a little girl like me!

Mo Ruhai looked at his daughter stupidly and whispered, "Girl, let's not be too greedy!"

Mo Yi forced a smile, "Dad, don't worry about it, just drink some tea first!"

"Okay, you can talk to Shopkeeper Zhao about it later. Dad feels that he can afford it, but he thinks the price is too high!" This was all he could say, and then he drank his tea peacefully.

This tea is really good!

The mouth is full of lingering fragrance and the aftertaste is rich and sweet, much better than my own tea!

So he signaled to the waiter that he wanted another drink!

But the clerk was unhappy: This father and daughter always come to our store to ask for money! The shopkeeper is kind, but you can't take advantage of them! The rules in the store are strict, so I dare not show my face, I just pretend I didn't see it...

Mo Ruhai has become much more shameless now. He ran to the small table to pour tea.

Mo Yi pouted, raised a piece of purple crystal, and looked at it against the light coming in from the doors and windows. How bright is this color! ?

How transparent? No impurities at all!

The folded corners reflect the light, like stars, how beautiful!

The sculpture is of Bauhinia.

The material and shape complement each other, making it even more perfect!

If you won’t give me two hundred taels, give me one hundred taels... fifty taels will be fine too!

Huh? If I tidy up my house, will it look more classy?

I have to reconsider these fine goods when I get back to them.

For example: make a purple flower string, weave a few small beads on it, and wear it around your neck. Add a purple silk ribbon, and you can hang it around your waist...

It doesn't cost much, but it's better than being alone like this! Maybe Shopkeeper Zhao will take a liking to it at first sight.

Alas, I was still careless today!

She was looking at it foolishly, when suddenly, she smelled a pleasant fragrance.

Behind him, a proud voice came: "Boss, I want to see what she is holding!"
