Negotiations (2)
When Li Guang walked out, the pawnshop owner knew that Li Guang was just negotiating with him. After all, this wasn't a brilliant method, but it made the pawnshop owner's mood fluctuate greatly.
He knew that he couldn't get rid of the other party. He felt that Li Guang knew that there was some kind of secret hidden in this painting. He couldn't just watch this treasure slip away like this.
The shop owners in Muye were either ordinary people from Muye, or they had a big family backing them. Some of them were shops owned by big businessmen. Commoners usually opened small shops. Pawnshops like this were definitely owned by people who were related to Muye. They stood at different heights and naturally looked at things from different angles. The boss suspected that this thing was a treasure map or a ninja tool that transmitted some kind of information. With the mentality of a rare commodity that could be hoarded, he wanted to take it. How could he let Li Guang leave? It didn't matter even if he had to pay a higher price. Every year, he would make mistakes. This part of the loss was just a drop in the ocean compared to his income.
"Sigh, sir, wait, wait.”The pawnshop owner suddenly appeared and called out to Li Guang.
He didn't see Li Guang, who was walking out. A victorious smile appeared on his face. Otherwise, he would have shouted that he had been tricked.
"Teacher, don't be in a hurry to leave. You can go to the inner hall and sit down. We can talk in detail.”The pawnshop owner wanted to invite Li Guang to the inner hall to calm him down.
Looking at the amiable pawnshop owner, Li Guang thought to himself, The people from the other world are all idiots. They call themselves before they even leave the door. Aren't they being ripped off!”
It was indeed a trick to play hard to get. Li Guang actually used his usual shopping skills. Cough cough ~ Was this a habit?
After some struggle at the door, Li Guang still went in because he was just pretending. Although he could find another shop, it was troublesome, so he borrowed a donkey to go downhill.
The pawnshop owner didn't do business anymore. He hung a closed sign on the counter and invited Li Guang to sit down.
There wasn't much space in the pawnshop, and there was a simple living room decoration at the back. The pawnshop owner invited Li Guang to his seat and said while busy,"You must be tired from standing for so long just now. Come, let me make you a cup of tea.”As he spoke, he quickly served the hot tea.
Li Guang sat upright and waved his hand casually.""Don't do these useless things. Is there anything to eat?”
Is there, is there food?
The pawnshop owner was stunned.
However, he immediately said,"Yes, yes. We'll wait objectively."”He turned around and took out two plates of dessert-like food from under the counter.
"Please." The pawnshop owner kindly gestured to Li Guang, who nodded in satisfaction.
There's food and water, hurry up and eat.
The other party heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Guang eating happily. Seeing Li Guang's down-and-out appearance, he began to examine Li Guang. The more he looked at Li Guang, the more he felt that Li Guang should be from a noble family.
The tea and desserts in the other world taste pretty good!
"Not bad, not bad." Li Guang sat there eating and drinking as he commented with a smile.
He had been living in the open for two days and had suffered a lot. He almost couldn't come out. Fortunately, Li Guang was lucky enough to walk to Muye and have the opportunity to sit here.
While Li Guang was acting cool and enjoying the delicious food, the boss was watching from the side with a pained expression. Isn't it not bad? This is the Wind Country's Breeze Sun Tea that I usually can't bear to drink. It's a top-grade tea! I prepared the pastries to entertain my distinguished guests.
(Li Guang, what cool breeze and blazing sun? It's just a slightly tastier black tea. You're an ignorant old country bumpkin. However, what is this pastry made of? It tastes good. It doesn't seem like it's made of flour. It doesn't stick to the mouth. It has a little jelly-like smoothness. It tastes quite good. There are indeed many good things in the other world.)）
Li Guang ate elegantly. He knew that people who were very hungry couldn't eat too much at once, so he ate small bites. He had eaten a lot of wild vegetables along the way, so he wasn't very hungry. His stomach was uncomfortable because he had just vomited, and his body was tired and thirsty.
The boss watched Li Guang's actions carefully from the side. Li Guang's small bites of food became a performance of family upbringing in the eyes of the other party. The more he felt that Li Guang's background was extraordinary, because even though he was in such a dire situation, his body looked very weak, but he still ate very elegantly. This kind of etiquette seemed to be deeply rooted in his bones. This kind of inadvertently revealed thing was usually possessed by the children of big families.
Li Guang glanced at him. He wasn't very hungry anymore, so he started negotiating. He paused for a moment and said,"I'm not criticizing you, but you're only using these two pieces of money to send off beggars with this treasure! This was passed down from my ancestors. If my family hadn't been in trouble, would I have brought it here? Do you think I've never seen money before? Back then, my grandfather and the Country of Fire were brothers, and their wealth was comparable to that of a country.”
The boss was stunned. Back then? The Fire Country had only existed for a few years, and although this painting was unique, it looked very new. It couldn't have been decades, right? This kid was lying.
However, even if he knew that Li Guang was lying, he didn't dare to say it out loud because he was afraid that Li Guang would just leave. Li Guang had already 'demonstrated' to him just now, and now it made him recall some bad memories!
He wanted to fly into a rage, but he couldn't bear to part with that item!
He knew that these young masters were all like this. The more you competed with them, the worse it would be. Therefore, although he didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't dare to refute Li Guang on the surface. Only by giving benefits to satisfy these young masters would they let go.
This might be one of the perks of being a silkpants.
Seeing that the pawnshop owner didn't believe him, Li Guang pouted unhappily.""What? He didn't believe it! This piece of paper is very durable. Don't use your secular eyes to measure it!”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Although he knew that Li Guang was just spouting nonsense, he had to agree to whatever Li Guang said. At the same time, he secretly blamed himself for his performance just now. Why didn't he do this earlier? He brought so much trouble!
He had even forgotten the basic means of doing business.
The pawnshop owner knew that he should take the initiative to attack. He was a wily old fox and naturally had a way to counterattack. He could not let Li Guang take the initiative in negotiating the price.
After Li Guang sat down to drink tea and eat some snacks, he said,""Sir, look at my small business. Although this thing of yours is exquisite, it's still an unknown item.”
Li Guang interrupted the pawnshop owner." Don't say such useless things. You still want it when it's useless!" Let's talk about the price directly."
"Price ~ It's up to you. If you want to live, according to the rules, I can only give you one-tenth of its value. I really didn't cheat you before, so the price I gave you is quite fair.”The pawnshop owner also took a sip of tea.
Li Guang stopped eating." Live? What's that?"
Seeing Li Guang's question, the other party immediately explained,"We have our own rules. After all, pawnshops also need to make a profit. There are two types of items that can be pawned, live or dead. Live pawning means that you can buy the item back within a certain period of time, so the price is not high. After all, you can still pawn it back.”
After listening to the explanation, Li Guang was enlightened. It was his first time here, so he naturally didn't know the rules of these pawnshops. No wonder the movies treated these pawnshops as black-hearted merchants. They charged at a low price, so the profits were naturally high. It was easy for people to be greedy, and it was reasonable for some dirty things to arise. Li Guang thought that this was the pawnshop owner trying to find a way out for himself.
However, he didn't care. Every industry had its own ways to make money. What he cared about was the one-tenth of the value of the item mentioned by the shop owner, which meant that it could be multiplied by ten times.! It was also not!
A normal person could only see this much, but Li Guang thought of a deeper meaning! That was the background of this shop!
Someone who could spend so much money on a useless thing and dared to casually reveal such insider information should not be simple!
"I'm selling paper money! If the people from the other world were to see that complicated pattern, their first reaction would be to think that it was a treasure map containing some kind of treasure! There was no reason to take back such a treasure that was sold in a pawnshop! Therefore, even if Li Guang wanted to take it back in the future, the pawnshop would not obediently hand it over! This was just a topic that the pawnshop owner wanted to use to divert Li Guang's attention!”Li Guang sneered in his heart. He understood after thinking for a moment that this information that seemed to be beneficial to him was actually a trap.
The pawnshop owner's idea was really shrewd. If Li Guang hadn't been fooled by this method of diverting attention, he believed that even if he chose to die, the other party would have a way to deal with it.
These businessmen were indeed cunning.
What? He didn't understand. Alright, the shop owner's " kind " explanation to Li Guang was actually digging a pit for Li Guang to jump into. It seemed like he was making money, but in fact, he was making a loss because only he knew the true value of the item. Moreover, the real purpose of the pawnshop owner doing this was to seize the initiative in the negotiation and break Li Guang's advantage! This diversionary song was played beautifully!
Li Guang thought about it for a while and made a decision. Ten times was not a small amount. One card was worth 100,000 yuan, and three times would be three million yuan. This was about the same as his expected bottom line. If Li Guang wanted to swallow an elephant like a snake, he had a bottom line in his heart. Three million yuan was the bottom line that Li Guang had set.
After all, he knew the true value of this thing. It was definitely not a loss to exchange it for so much money.
Li Guang said with a strange expression," Oh, then I'll die. Anyway, I'm not going to take it back. How much can you give me? Don't tell me it's a small business. If you can open a shop in Muye, tell me it's a small business!"”
The other party thought for a moment and said,""What do you think? I'll give you 200,000 more. 500,000.”As he spoke, he stretched out five fingers.
When Li Guang heard that, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Ten times wasn't three million, but five hundred thousand! Li Guang said with an expression that said,""Are you trying to scam me? Didn't you say it was ten times?"
"How would I dare? It's just that our small shop has limited funds, so look.”The pawnshop owner didn't plan to take out the three million. How greedy!
"Humph!"
As expected, this guy was playing tricks again! He didn't really want to give Li Guang three million!
Li Guang smiled coldly. He had been in society for some time, so he naturally knew what the boss was up to. This was just a joke. He didn't want to give the three million yuan. He had just said that it was one-tenth of the value, but in the blink of an eye, it was cut by more than half. He was indeed a businessman, a profiteer!
At the same time, Li Guang thought to himself that these old foxes of Muye were indeed not easy to deal with! He had fallen into his trap the moment he agreed to it. If he continued to argue, he did not know what tricks he would have to deal with, but he would definitely be in a passive position.
Although Li Guang couldn't see through the pawnshop owner's methods, he could feel that something was wrong!
It seemed like he had to use his trump card.
"If that's the case, I'll go to other places to take a look. I believe that there's no merchant in this huge Fire Country who can't afford this sum of money.”After saying that, Li Guang stood up and was about to leave. A smile appeared on his face. No matter how cunning you are, the initiative is in my hands. I don't want to trade anymore. What else can you do?
When the other party saw this, he quickly stopped Li Guang and said,"Don't, don't, it's negotiable."
The pawnshop owner was on the verge of tears, as if he was wondering why it was this move again.
This time, it was different from the last time. Li Guang wasn't playing hard to get, so he didn't have any intention of stopping. No matter how cunning you are, I won't play anymore.
Seeing that he couldn't stop Li Guang and that Li Guang was still walking out, the pawnshop owner immediately raised the price.
" One million."
There was no movement, and Li Guang was still walking out.
"Uh ~" The pawnshop owner sighed behind him. He seemed to have failed to stop Li Guang. The price was too low. He was actually mentally prepared to bleed, but he really couldn't bear to.
Actually, Li Guang wasn't confident either. He didn't know if the other party would stop him.
The boss seemed to have made up his mind. He pointed his index finger at the sky and shouted,"Three million, one million each! What do you think?"
Li Guang shouted in his heart, I'm rich! He was extremely happy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be disdainful. At the same time, he stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"You won't cry until you see the coffin! What were you doing earlier? Did you really think that my 'baby' couldn't be sold?”
Li Guang cursed as he walked back and sat on the chair again. He shook his tattered clothes and said confidently,"Add another two million."
Puff! What! The boss suddenly jumped up as if he had been scratched by a cat and glared at Li Guang.
"You, you…" The pawnshop owner was so angry that he couldn't speak.
At this time, Li Guang seemed to be able to let go and actually took the initiative to attack, showing his glib tongue.
Li Guang looked at the other party with satisfaction. He leaned closer and put his arm around the other party's shoulder as if they were very familiar with each other."Ha, don't care about this small amount of money. Do you think I don't know that this thing is not simple? I'm also from a prestigious family. It's just that my family is in trouble now, so I'm using this to exchange for money. Don't think I've never seen money before! You guys must have a great background to be able to open a shop in Muye!”As he spoke, Li Guang gave the other party a knowing look.
"Humph! Of course!" Only then did the pawnshop owner's ugly face reveal a trace of confidence.
"Add two million!" Li Guang casually added a sentence that almost choked the pawnshop owner to death!
"Cough cough!"
The pawnshop owner replied fiercely,""I'm just afraid that you'll die if you have the money!"
Li Guang felt a chill in his heart when he said this. Money moved people's hearts. The ancients did not lie to him. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared. Li Guang did not show any fear. Instead, he did not say anything and sat down calmly.
The pawnshop owner found that his little heart couldn't take it anymore. When he said this, he seriously doubted whether he could last until the end of the transaction.
Reality proved that the pawnshop owner's prediction was correct. Li Guang was obviously trying to anger him to death. After sitting down, he said calmly,"Don't worry, after the transaction, I'll retire in Muye and not go anywhere! I still believe in Mu Ye's reputation.”After saying that, Li Guang revealed a smug look. He believed that in a place like Muye, no one could threaten it, because making a move here meant provoking Muye. The dignity of the largest country was not something that could be violated by just anyone. It was just a small pawn shop. He definitely wouldn't dare to. If not for his brother's mental preparation, he would have really been frightened. At that time, the initiative of the transaction would be taken back by the other party. Sometimes, transactions were psychological warfare.
What? The pawnshop owner looked at Li Guang in shock. How did he see through his bluff? He only wanted to say two words," You're awesome." He really didn't dare to touch Li Guang in Muye. Even if he really did, he would have to wait until Li Guang left Muye. However, from the other party's performance just now, he did have some knowledge and courage. Not bad kid, but why did I feel a little strange?
" Why do I feel like this transaction isn't a negotiation, but my son is asking me for money…" The pawnshop owner looked at Li Guang with a strange expression, and he was secretly amused.
