"No, no, it's too high. You think too highly of me. Can you give me a little discount? Twenty-five is fine. I can't agree to fifty." When Zhang Ertian failed to reach an agreement, he started to talk about their old friendship.

He said, "We're so familiar with each other now. You see, I've always supported you since you started your small business. I've always paid you the highest price for your ants. For the sake of our past, please give me a break."

Tao Wenwen almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She was selling ants just to kill time because she was bored. It turned out that in Zhang Ertian's eyes, this was also a business.

Come to think of it, there is no distinction between big and small in a transaction. As long as money is exchanged for goods, even if it is only one cent, it is still a transaction.

Tao Wenwen straightened his face.

He said, "Twenty-five is definitely not possible. Second Master's family has a large population, and the total land area is almost ten acres. Add to that Second Master's good reputation in the village, and twenty-five acres is a piece of cake. It's not a challenge at all. Second Master, don't you think so? Of course, I don't mean to make it difficult for you. Otherwise, how about we just settle for thirty acres?"

Tao Wenwen's face showed a hint of embarrassment after he finished speaking. He continued, "Second Master also knows that this business is not done by me alone. There is also Gao Yue. Everything needs to be discussed with both parties before it can be finalized. Your conditions are too low and it is difficult for me to tell Gao Yue. I heard that Second Master was also a businessman when he was young. He must understand my difficulties, right?"

Zhang Ertian seemed persuaded by her words. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Then, it's thirty acres. Not a cent more, or else this deal won't work!"

Tao Wenwen said readily, "Okay, thirty acres is thirty acres. You know what kind of person I am. You can ask your family to come to my place to discuss the contract for the cattle. You can rest assured that the price you give will be the most fair."

Zhang Ertian chuckled, "How come you can make the decision now?"

Tao Wenwen also smiled, with a gleam in his eyes, and said, "Second Master has shown enough sincerity, so of course I have confidence. I believe Gao Yue will definitely agree to this when he knows about it."

Zhang Ertian realized it late, and had the illusion that he had been fooled and was secretly happy about it?

This was not an illusion. Tao Wenwen was secretly happy in her heart. The Zhang family was willing to rent land and also inspire the villagers in the same village. She asked for 50 acres of land deliberately to leave room for bargaining with Zhang Ertian.

This was a skill she learned while buying lingerie.

The boss lady was really good at bargaining. After a lot of talk, she finally lowered the price by 20 cents. She felt very happy when it was her first time to bargain, but when she realized that she seemed to have been cheated, she knew that the price could definitely be lowered further.

But I am still very happy that I learned a new skill. I used it today and it went quite smoothly.

"Okay, we've already negotiated. Even if I know I was ripped off by a little shrew like you, there's nothing I can do about it. You're such a good businessman after all." Zhang Ertian said nothing more and changed his mind, "I'll have Zhang Kongming go with you to meet Gao Yue and discuss the cattle contract."

Zhang Kongming had been listening to the conversation between the two at the door and immediately said, "Okay, I'm free now anyway. I'll go with her when Wenwen goes back."

Zhang Ertian warned, "Don't be too playful, kid. When you have time, see Wen Wen more often and learn how to do business from her. Maybe our family will have a successful business owner in the future. Our ancestors went into business before, so if we can make a comeback, it won't be a disgrace to our ancestors."
