(Daily Life + Sea Foraging + Relaxed + Tycoon) Reborn back in 2002, transforming from a top corporate elite into a village rascal who used to steal chickens and dogs, Ye Cheng accidentally obtained...

Chapter 238 Big Liar, We've Finally Got You!

Ye Cheng has stored more than 80 pieces of bird's nest at home, as well as the Melo pearl, which he plans to sell in the city tomorrow.

Overall, today was pretty good, but the sea turtle didn't come back, which made Ye Cheng a little unhappy.

The next day, Ye Cheng glanced at the system:

Luck value: 20+20

Points: 4290.

Deposits: 115,000; Foreign debt: 40,000; Mortgage: 300,000 (including interest).

The points didn't increase much, and I didn't make much money selling them either. I'm relying on today's bird's nest and Mirabilis japonica.

After telling Xiao Hu, Ye Cheng rode his motorcycle into the city.

Sell ​​bird's nest first. Selling high-end jewelry like Melo pearls might be a bit troublesome, but we've already established connections with bird's nest last time, so we can just go and sell it directly.

This time, he rode directly to Donghai Tongdetang, carrying a box of bird's nest as he went inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw the beautiful woman who had acted with Manager Hu that day, still sitting behind the counter, leisurely and carefree.

As soon as the beautiful woman saw Ye Cheng, she stood up abruptly, her face full of surprise. Then she screamed and turned to go into the back room.

The scream startled Ye Cheng. Seeing how excited he was, it must be because his batch of bird's nests last time was too good.

Before he could react, Manager Hu rushed out from behind, his face contorted with excitement, pointing at Ye Cheng and shouting, "Don't run away!"

Don't run, brother, don't run, kid, don't worry.

This feels like a fan meeting.

Before he could reach Ye Cheng, Manager Hu tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground at Ye Cheng's feet.

Ye Cheng opened his mouth wide, looked down at Manager Hu, and said softly, "No, Manager Hu, there's no need for such a grand gesture. I'm just here to sell some things."

You've truly mastered the "customer is king" principle; I'm impressed.

Manager Hu grabbed Ye Cheng's ankle, struggled to lift his head, and glared at Ye Cheng with resentment.

"Bullshit! You're a bullshit God, you liar, a big liar! I've finally waited for you today!"

fraud?

Ye Cheng looked bewildered. "You mean yourself?"

Manager Hu grabbed Ye Cheng's foot tightly, as if afraid that Ye Cheng would run away.

Ye Cheng had no intention of leaving. He needed to clarify when he had become a liar.

Manager Hu scrambled to his feet, but still held onto Ye Cheng tightly, pulling him into the back room.

Ye Cheng didn't leave. He sat down directly and calmly looked at Manager Hu. "Manager Hu, come here, tell me how I became a swindler? Was the bird's nest I sold you last time fake?"

Shopkeeper Hu's expression shifted for a moment before he spoke, "Brother, the bird's nest is fine, but the price is too high."

Depend on!

No problem, you can say I'm a liar.

Ye Cheng's face darkened, and he lightly tapped the table. "If the price is too high, then it is too high. Did I lie to you?"

Shopkeeper Hu gave a wry smile. "Brother, if you hadn't said last time that your father and brother risked their lives to get this, and that you broke your leg, it would have been 20,000, but you took it upon yourself to reduce it to 18,000."

"If it weren't for your explanation, would I have impulsively bought it for 18,000?"

Manager Hu spoke with such deep sorrow that Ye Cheng felt a little embarrassed.

You can't entirely blame yourself last time; I just improvised.

After hearing what Manager Hu said, Ye Cheng couldn't be so assertive anymore. "18,000 isn't a bad deal, is it? My stuff is definitely good stuff, I can make a little profit at most."

Manager Hu sighed deeply and poured Ye Cheng a cup of tea. "Brother, I'm just a manager. What the boss wants is profit. If the profit is too low, the boss won't be happy."

Unlike you, brother, who can decide on your own, working life is too tough.

This remark left Ye Chengdu speechless.

"Alright, alright, brother, that's all in the past. Did you bring any goods today? You'd better give me a good price today, or I'll get scolded again." Manager Hu looked like a victim.

Ye Cheng scratched his head. Damn it, something felt off. It was like he was the one who was wrong to sell the goods to him.

And how did he manage to bring down the price so easily?

Ye Cheng first took out a few pieces of bird's nest and asked Manager Hu to examine them.

Upon seeing the bird's nest, Manager Hu's eyes lit up. He picked it up and examined it closely before looking at Ye Cheng.

"Brother, how much do you have? I'll take it all."

"80 cups, more than last time." Ye Cheng took out all the items at once.

Seeing so many wild bird's nests, Manager Hu's breathing quickened, and he nodded repeatedly, his eyes glued to the sight of them.

"I'll pay 15,000 yuan per jin, I'll take all of these." Manager Hu held out one hand.

"Damn, last time it was 18,000, this time it's 15,000, you've lowered it by 20%, that won't do."

This is ridiculous, they're just cutting the price by 3000 yuan.

“Brother, let me be frank with you, we can only sell it for 19,000. We can make a profit of 18,000, but that's only 1,000. We still have to pay rent, taxes, and wages. Can't you give us even a little profit margin?”

Ye Cheng now felt that he was completely outmatched by Manager Hu's performance just now, and he definitely couldn't sell it for 18,000.

After a brief and intense struggle, they finally sold it for 16,000.

To be honest, Ye Cheng was quite satisfied with the price; the previous price of 18,000 was just something he casually mentioned.

More than 80 pieces, totaling 720 grams, which adds up to a total of [amount] yuan.

After taking the money, Ye Cheng was seen out by Manager Hu and the beautiful woman standing at the door, which made Ye Cheng very suspicious that he had been cheated.

After selling the bird's nest, it's time for today's big-headed Melo pearls.

Ye Cheng specifically found a wooden box and wrapped it with a piece of silk, so that President Cai wouldn't say he didn't take it seriously enough.

This time, he planned to find Mr. Cai, who sold oyster beads last time, as he had left his contact information with him before.

He took out his phone and called Mr. Cai.

"Hey, Xiao Ye," President Cai said in a very calm tone.

"President Cai, didn't you say you wanted to buy Mirabilis? I have one, would you like to buy it?" Ye Cheng asked directly.

"Oh, Melaleuca, what?!" President Cai's voice suddenly rose, making Ye Cheng's ears hurt a little.

"You mean Melaleuca?" Mr. Cai asked again, his nervousness and trembling voice evident even through the phone.

"Yes, Melaleuca, will you take it?"

"Yes, yes, definitely. Brother Ye, where are you? I'll drive over to pick you up."

This guy's attitude changes really fast. He was ignoring me at first, but now he's offering to drive over and pick me up.

Ye Cheng had his own motorcycle, so he didn't ask President Cai to pick him up. He asked for an address and rode there himself.

The address Mr. Cai gave was No. 32 Guangming Road, a jewelry store.

As soon as Ye Cheng arrived at the door, he saw that President Cai was already standing there, looking anxiously left and right.
