"It's like this, miss, this dress is a custom-made piece by a Milanese designer, so there might be some extra cost due to its handcrafted nature... Would you be okay with that?"
"Was it custom-made by a designer in Milan? I didn't expect you to have such a high-end dress here. Hmm... okay, I can accept it."
"Okay, miss, it seems you know your stuff... Haha, our price is eight hundred and ninety-nine. If you really want it, I'll pack it up for you right now."
puff!
Hearing this, Xia Che had a bellyful of complaints but couldn't get them out.
How could someone dare to ask for almost a thousand for such a seemingly ordinary dress?
Is this a rip-off restaurant?
Xia Che was willing to guarantee that if he took a picture of this dress and searched for it on a shopping app, he could find an identical dress that was several times cheaper.
Before they arrived, the two had already agreed that Xia Che would only watch and not say anything.
Yu Shiyue handled the bargaining herself; she brought Xia Che here specifically to demonstrate her bargaining skills.
"No, it's too expensive!"
Just as Xia Che was feeling a stomachache from holding it in, Yu Shiyue suddenly and resolutely put her skirt back, speaking with righteous indignation.
oh?
Xia Che's eyes lit up instantly.
oioioi……
Have you finally realized that this dress is ridiculously expensive?
Are you ready to show off your amazing bargaining skills?!
cut!
Cut it in half!
No……
Even cutting it in half is too expensive; Xia Che thinks it's best to aim for a 20% to 10% discount.
Cut them until they're broken, cut them until the shop is covered in wounds!
"Oh? Miss... We've been having a promotion at our store lately. Since we just opened, the prices we're offering are at cost price, just to promote our business. This is already our lowest price."
The saleswoman was clearly taken aback. She hadn't expected that Yu Shiyue, who had just seemed so willing and shy like an innocent college student, would suddenly have such a strong reaction.
strangeness……
Based on her experience in judging people, Yu Shiyue should be the kind of shy, simple girl who pays whatever price is offered, right?
Did I misjudge the situation?
But her commission was calculated based on the transaction price, so the saleswoman forced a smile and said, "How about this, I'll take the liberty of giving you an extra custom-made French hat as a discount, how about that?"
"No, it's still too expensive, eight hundred and ninety-nine. Why don't you just rob someone?"
Yu Shiyue stood with her hands on her hips, like a Valkyrie.
"That's right! First, overwhelm them with your presence. That way, no matter what price they offer, keep pushing it down. Their confidence will gradually wane, thus achieving your goal of bargaining... Could this guy really be a master bargainer?"
Xia Che was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He had misunderstood her!
This guy is actually quite good at bargaining.
"So you mean..."
The saleswoman's smile faltered slightly; Yu Shiyue was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
Am I going to lose this deal today?
For a moment, the salesperson's eyes flickered slightly.
All right……
There is indeed a considerable profit margin in my quoted price, which is unavoidable, since if you want to earn a commission, you have to sell at a premium.
Even if we earn less, it's better than earning nothing at all.
The salesperson was already prepared; even if Yu Shiyue were to slash him with a knife that could break his bones, he would grit his teeth and close the deal.
As long as you don't cut your profits to the point where you don't make a single penny, that's fine.
The saleswoman reassured herself that the price she offered still allowed for considerable profit margin; as long as she didn't cut all the prices, it would be fine...
"You need to lower the price by at least fifty! Otherwise, I'm leaving now, and we can forget about this deal."
Yu Shiyue turned her body slightly to the side, extended her palm with an air of dominance, and raised her head slightly, completely overwhelming the salesperson with her aura.
In a short time.
The entire shop seemed to be suppressed by Yu Shiyue's overwhelming aura, becoming completely silent.
At this moment, Yu Shiyue resembled a great emperor of the human race!
Xia Che: ……
Salesperson: ...
A passerby overheard this: ...
The entire shop fell silent.
Xia Che was completely stunned.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, from head to toe.
I was completely stunned.
Yu Shiyue's demeanor just now was just like that of a master negotiator.
Xia Che had been looking forward to it for a long time, just waiting for Yu Shiyue to make the final decision.
Unexpectedly...
That was indeed the final word.
The salesperson had no objection to the price.
but……
After waiting so long, all I got was a huge poop?
Will they actually try to bargain?!
Just cut it by fifty?
Is it really necessary to shout so loudly just to cut the price by fifty?
That's not embarrassing enough...
"Okay...okay, I'll wrap it up for you right away!"
The sales clerk reacted first, snatching the dress away as if afraid Yu Shiyue would change her mind. She rushed to the cashier to pack it up. After packing, she watched Yu Shiyue pay the bill, then handed her the bag containing the dress with a strange expression: "Welcome... to visit again next time."
Well, how should I put it?
This dragon-slaying sword, which I thought would kill me outright, turned out to feel like a nail clipper just trimming my nails...
It's really amazing.
This "Welcome back next time" greeting is a heartfelt blessing from the salesperson.
She genuinely hoped that Yu Shiyue could come here more often.
I really mean it.
"Hehe, got it, let's go."
