There's a basic principle to bargaining.
The price is reduced through various methods, but this price must be within a range acceptable to both parties.
Merchants need to ensure profits, while customers want the lowest possible price, ideally even free, but that's impossible.
Merchants all have a bottom line in their minds. If the price is negotiated beyond this bottom line, most merchants will refuse.
I'd rather forgo this deal than lose money.
If it doesn't exceed the limit, the chances of the merchant agreeing are still very high.
To put it simply, the secret to bargaining is figuring out the merchant's bottom line on prices.
But He Ye's actions have crossed this line.
The stalemate continued until the very end, but Genda Ryūnō remained unmoved and refused, and Hattori Heiji, seeing this, also decided to give up.
In fact, even he thought it would be strange if Genda Takatoku agreed.
"Alright, boss, we don't need that ring." He Ye knew this too, and seeing that the other party still hadn't relented after so long, she didn't want to continue.
Continuing won't lead to anything, so it's better to end it early, pay the bill, and then go see a movie.
"I really can't agree to that, I'm sorry." Genda Takatoku politely apologized, then asked, "Do you still want to buy it?"
The joy he felt earlier had long since faded, and now he was worried that these things wouldn't sell.
"Uncle, that's a really bad question. Of course we'll buy it!"
Despite haggling, Hattori Heiji didn't forget the purpose of his visit. Pointing to the clock, he said, "I'll just buy the clock; this woman can pay for everything else."
"Heiji!" Kazuha glanced at Hattori Heiji, snorted, but didn't say anything more; she was already used to it.
Ignoring the dark-skinned man with tactless mannerisms, Kazuha put on a smile again, her tone tinged with apology.
"Sorry, boss, I won't buy any of those, I'll just buy a clock..."
Halfway through her sentence, Kazuha glanced at the grinning black-skinned man beside her, pointed at him, and said resentfully, "This guy is paying."
"I'll pay, I'll pay." Hattori Heiji shrugged, indicating that he didn't care, since he hadn't intended for Kazuha to pay anyway.
“Okay…” Genda Takatoku smiled, rubbed his hands together, and nodded in agreement.
It's best not to interfere in the matters between the two of them; he just needs to focus on doing his job well.
"Uncle, this clock costs seven thousand yen, right?" Hattori Heiji asked, taking out his wallet from his pocket and preparing to pay.
“This…” Genda Ryūtoku’s smile froze for a moment. Remembering what he had just said, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Yes, seven thousand yen."
He originally decided to give her an extra 200 yen discount because the girl was nice.
Moreover, I bought quite a few other things afterward, so it wasn't a bad deal.
But if you were buying a clock now, someone else might say, "It's seven thousand because you buy a lot of things. Now that you're just buying a clock, it's seven thousand two."
But he had already spoken, and changing his mind at the last minute was not in his nature. Remembering that these people had helped him, Genda Takatoku decided to keep the price unchanged.
Let's go with the price he just agreed on; this clock will cost seven thousand yen.
"I've thought about it, so I'll go with 7,500 yen," Hattori Heiji said, taking the money out of his wallet.
After counting out 7,500, Hattori Heiji handed the money to Genda Takatoku.
The money was already handed to him. Genda Ryūnō hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it at Hattori Heiji's urging.
"grateful!"
He bowed slightly as was his habit, said thank you, and then glanced at the money to make sure the amount was correct before putting it in his pocket.
"Heiji, we've bought everything, let's go." Kazuha glanced at the time and urged, "The movie's about to start!"
"I have something to say to the uncle. You and Conan go ahead first, I'll be there soon." Heiji Hattori gave Conan a wink.
Although he didn't know what Hattori Heiji was going to do, Conan nodded after receiving the signal.
Then, Conan smiled and said to Kazuha, "Kazuha-neechan, let's go first. Ran-neechan is still waiting for us outside!"
"Well... alright then." Kazuha glanced at the counter, nodded in agreement, then looked at Kouyu and asked, "Kouyu, aren't you leaving?"
"I'll be right there. You two go ahead, Sister Ye," Guangyou replied with a smile.
"Then hurry up!"
"OK."
After saying that, Kazuha led Conan away from the antique shop.
Watching their retreating figures, Guangyou stopped smiling and turned to look at the counter.
"Kazuha seemed to be looking at something just now..."
"This costs fifty thousand!?" Hattori Heiji pointed at the blue jewelry box on the counter, and perhaps because of the price, his voice became a little louder.
He hadn't been listening carefully and didn't realize this little thing was so expensive.
"Yes...the pattern on this is exquisite, and it was once worn by a very famous female singer."
As he spoke, Genda Takatoku prepared to take the item out of the jewelry box and show it to Hattori Heiji.
"No need to look anymore." Hattori Heiji waved his hand. He had just glanced at it and it was indeed quite beautiful, but also quite expensive.
"That..."
Although he hadn't finished speaking, Hattori Heiji understood Genda Takatoku's meaning. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Uncle, could you give me a discount?"
"..." Genda Ryūtoku swallowed hard.
Seeing his expression, Hattori Heiji knew why. He hadn't felt anything when he was bargaining, but now he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
