Chapter 40: Cutting in half is a good idea

The boss looked at Dai Qing and smiled even more brilliantly. "Since the little girl likes it, I won't give you a false price. Three hundred yuan, take it. Whether you put it at home or give it to someone else, it will be very face-saving."

The last sentence was not a lie. In this era when the average salary was less than 200 yuan, no one would spend two months' salary to buy a piece of broken wood that was not enough to eat or drink.

Even though she earned two thousand yuan from Zhang Shunfu a few days ago, she was reluctant to spend three hundred.

One hundred and fifty is about right if you cut it in half.

Before Dai Qing could bargain, she heard someone behind her say, "This red sandalwood Pi Xiu of yours is not old red sandalwood. At most, it can be called Dalbergia cochinchinensis. It has characteristic patterns and black veins on it, which makes it easy to identify."

Dai Qing turned around and saw Cheng Hao standing behind her. Her eyes lit up.

"What a coincidence."

The boss was originally in a bad mood and was about to get angry, but seeing Cheng Hao's temperament, he suppressed his anger. Seeing that the two knew each other, he could only smile awkwardly.

"Wow, I didn't expect to meet an expert. Even if what you said is true, this is imported material and it is made by a master craftsman. The price is already very low."

"You are right. Dalbergia dasyphylla is also called Indonesian black rosewood. It is mainly produced in India. Compared with the old red sandalwood in our country, it is not even ranked."

boss:"……"

Hey, his grandpa, does he want to mess things up?

Listening to Cheng Hao's explanation and looking at the boss's brilliant face, Dai Qing held back her laughter and patted Cheng Hao's arm.

"How come you have time to come here?" This person doesn't look like someone who knows how to go shopping, and he immediately angered people.

"Prepare to pick out a gift for someone." Cheng Hao glanced at her, looked around, and his eyes fell on the Pi Xiu again.

Dai Qing nodded. So that's how it is.

"Boss, I won't bargain with you for this Pixiu. I'll take it for 150 yuan. How about that?"

"What? Cut it in half? Do you still want people to do business with you, little girl?"

The boss was stunned and his face turned red with anger. Finally, he couldn't help but glared at Cheng Hao, probably because he thought he was meddling in other people's business.

"If my friend hadn't come over, I wouldn't have bought it. It was originally a gift, and I didn't plan on giving it something too fancy. One hundred and fifty is beyond my budget."

If you don't bargain for things in the small commodity market, people will think you are a fool. Even though the boss is very angry now, who knows how happy she will be after she leaves.

"That won't work. I can't sell it at this price. The most I can give you is twenty bucks off. Take it for two hundred and eighty. I guarantee you won't lose out."

"One price, one hundred and fifty. Pack it up for me and I'll pay for it right away."

Dai Qing said this while clutching the small leather bag in her arms, looking as if she was going to turn around and leave if you don't agree.

"You...you little girl, you are too cruel. We are just small business owners, and you can't make me cry..."

Before he could finish, Cheng Hao interrupted him, "One hundred and fifty, you've made a profit."

boss:"……"

I am him~

Dai Qing agreed, "Yeah, if I earn less, I'll come back next time. I get a good deal, and the boss gets a repeat customer. It's a win-win situation for both sides."

"Well, never mind. I met an expert today, so I admit defeat. One hundred and fifty is one hundred and fifty."

The boss had a bitter face, took out a packaging box, packed it carefully, and Dai Qing paid the bill.

After sending the two out of the store, he did not forget to greet them, "You two, come back next time if you need us."

"must."

See, I said there was money to be made.

After taking a few steps, Dai Qing looked up and said, "Thank you for helping me bargain."

"You would offer this price even without me." Cheng Hao looked at her with a teasing look.
