After listening, Master Qu pondered the matter repeatedly.

Because the Crown Prince of Yu had already given him the order to "lower your prices if the Zhou family's cloth shop dares to lower them," the Crown Prince of Yu had no intention of showing his face today. Master Qu couldn't even talk to him about it and had to make the decision himself.

"How about you wait a moment, Mr. Ollie, and let me think about it some more?"

After a brief discussion with Aoli, the short foreigner said, "Let's discuss this with the head of Nagqu Manor. We'll go to the Zhou family's cloth shop and see what they have to say! If they also choose to lower the price, that's fine, we'll let bygones be bygones. But if they don't lower the price, then we must pursue this matter!"

"Wait!"

Upon hearing this, Master Qu could no longer remain seated.

He didn't even need to think to know that once the Zhou family's cloth shop saw that things had been exposed, they would definitely try to cut their losses in time. And they certainly wouldn't dare to offend the foreign merchants again. At this point, they would have to lower the price again and sell the cotton-padded clothes to the foreign merchants.

In this way, even if they lose money, once the cotton-padded clothes are sold, the warehouse will be empty, and they can go back to their old business.

Therefore, no matter how much the foreign merchants want to lower the price, Zhou's cloth workshop will probably have to agree!

Master Qu and the others have been working so hard for so long, we absolutely cannot let this happen, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain!

"Mr. Aoli Gei, I agree to lower the price, but I have one more condition!"

"What are the conditions?"

The foreign translator asked.

"As for the conditions, if we lower the price of the cotton-padded coats for you, then you can no longer buy cotton-padded coats from Zhou's Cloth Shop!"

"..."

After listening to his words, the foreign translator had a long conversation with Mr. Aolige. Then the foreign translator said, "Master Qu, I spoke with Mr. Aolige. He means that we have a great need for cotton-padded clothes. After all, our foreign people really need cotton-padded clothes. If the cotton-padded clothes we buy from the Qu family's cloth shop are not enough, wouldn't it be better to buy them from the Zhou family's cloth shop? Of course, we are not short of money!"

"..."

Master Qu sneered inwardly: You're not short of money, but I am? Even if I am short of money, the Crown Prince of Yu is not!

The reason why Master Qu did business with foreign countries was to prevent Zhou Family Cloth Shop from selling the cotton-padded clothes. Therefore, he said decisively, "Mr. Aolige, as I just said, our Qu Family Cloth Shop has plenty of cotton-padded clothes. Besides, the low price I'm offering you is something Zhou Family Cloth Shop definitely can't match! If Mr. Aolige doesn't agree to my conditions, then our Qu Family Cloth Shop will not sell!"

After saying that, he added with a smile, "Mr. Ollie, they say things are valued for their scarcity. If the Zhou family's cloth shop hears that our Qu family's cloth shop won't sell you cotton-padded clothes, then even if they set the price at 250 coins, there's nothing you can do about it, right?"

"..."

After listening, the foreign translator looked serious. He then had a conversation with Mr. Aolige, during which the words "fuck you" and "whote" appeared more and more frequently.

After the communication, the foreign translator said, "Master Qu, our Mr. Aoli Ge has been moved by your sincerity, so he has decided to do business with your Qu family's cloth shop instead of the Zhou family's cloth workshop!"

"Then I thank you very much, Mr. Ollie!"

As he spoke, Master Qu cupped his hands in greeting, but inwardly sneered: Moved by my sincerity? I bet you're just afraid you won't be able to buy the cheap cotton-padded coat in the end! It seems that when money is involved, even these foreign barbarians are all spineless!

At this moment, the foreign translator said, "Since our Mr. Aoli has shown sincerity, shouldn't Master Qu also show his sincerity?"

Upon hearing this, Master Qu understood the foreigner's intention: they simply wanted to know his price.

So he said directly, "Forty coins!"

Thirty coins!

He thought he had offered a low enough price, and that the foreigner should agree immediately. But to his surprise, the foreign translator started haggling with him.

These foreign lands are truly cunning!

"Forty coins, no less!"

Thirty coins, that's the most I can offer!

"..."

At this moment, Master Qu had a thousand words of greetings to say to these foreigners.

Forty coins was already the lowest price in Master Qu's mind; thirty coins couldn't even buy a robe!

"Why don't you ask Mr. Ollie?"

“No need, Mr. Ollie already told me his target price! Master Qu, to be honest with you, we've also heard about the current predicament of the Zhou family's cloth shop. They dared to lie to us. If we go there and put a little pressure on them, even if it's only thirty coins, they will definitely accept it! The only reason we're staying here is because we're angry that they lied to us!”

The translator from the foreign land said.

"..."

Master Qu squinted, weighing the pros and cons.

Thirty coins is really too little, but it's only ten coins less than the forty coins he mentioned. However, once these foreigners start doing business with the Zhou family's cloth shop, there will be endless troubles in the future!

"Thirty-five cents!"

Just as he was struggling with his decision, Oli Gei suddenly spoke up, and Master Qu was stunned, as was the foreign translator.

"Mr. Aoli Gei... can actually speak Angolan?"

"Hehe... This is Mr. Aoli's target price. He specifically asked me how to say it in Anguo language... I didn't expect Mr. Aoli to have such a good language talent. I only said it once, and he remembered it!"

"..."

Master Qu remained silent for a moment, then thought about it and realized it made sense.

The foreign translator continued, "Master Qu, is Mr. Aoli's asking price acceptable? Let's compromise!"

Master Qu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

However, he still said very cautiously, "Alright, considering Mr. Ollie's sincerity, I can agree to the price of thirty-five coins. However, Mr. Ollie needs to sign a written agreement for me!"

What kind of written agreement?

"In other words, I agree to sell the cotton-padded coats to Mr. Aoli Ge at a price of thirty-five coins each, and Mr. Aoli Ge has to promise me that he will never do any business with the Zhou family's cloth shop again!"

"..."

The foreign translator quickly communicated with Aoli Ge, and then, after Aoli Ge said something, the foreign translator asked, "Besides the production of cotton-padded clothes, can't we do other business with Zhou's cloth shop?"

"Of course not!"

Good grief, you're still thinking about other businesses?

Foreign merchants are so wealthy. If they did other business with the Zhou family's cloth shop—like Huanhua Jade Brocade—wouldn't the Zhou family's cloth shop make a fortune? It seems I'm quite clever. Luckily, I thought of this in advance. And once the written agreement is signed, I'm not afraid he'll go back on his word!

Afterwards, Aoli Gei communicated with the foreign translator, who finally said, "Okay, our Mr. Aoli Gei agrees, but we need to buy at least 10,000 cotton-padded coats from Qu Family Cloth Shop before we can sign this invoice!"

"..."
