Chapter 50: Haggling Ghost
“Eight billion is too much? Then I can give you a discount.”
“We can give you a fraction.” The old woman sneered.
“Didn’t you ask me to make a bid? You’re still angry after I made the bid.” Chen Yu waved his hand. “Then you guys make the bid.”
The old woman picked up the motherboard and thought for a moment. Then she said, “It’s just an electronic product. Although I can see that it’s a high-tech product, this kind of future thing is produced in many exotic lands. The price is limited.”
“Please state a price first.”
“Two thousand.”
“Then give it to me.” Chen Yu took back the motherboard and turned to leave.
“Wait a minute.” The old woman stopped him.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man appeared out of nowhere and blocked in front of Chen Yu.
“What?” Chen Yu turned back. “The Tong Sheng Group, who always rely on credit to build their foundation, also wants to buy and sell by force?”
“That’s impossible. The Tong Sheng Group won’t do such a thing.” The old woman poured a cup of tea for Chen Yu. “Sit down, we can have a good chat. There’s no market price for this thing, so naturally, we can bargain.”
Chen Yu took advantage of the situation and sat down opposite the old woman. He picked up the teacup and said, “Although it’s a bargain, I hope you can be a little more sincere.”
“A person who asks for eight billion yuan is accusing others of being insincere.”
“A fixed price.” Chen Yu was too lazy to waste time. “100,000 yuan.”
“Impossible.” The old woman shook her head. “Last month, the official purchase price for the first-generation quantum calculator that was produced in the strange realm of Rotten Chicken Tower was less than 100,000 yuan. This small motherboard can’t even be sold for 10,000 yuan.”
“But this is the first product produced in the strange realm of Qingcheng City. It has its own value.”
“Then why don’t you sell it directly to the government?”
“Because I want to sell it at a higher price.”
“For promotional reasons, the Qingcheng City Government clearly needs this motherboard more. Are you sure that it will be sold at a higher price than the government in the black market?”
“Of course I’m sure.” Chen Yu leaned forward with his hands on the table and whispered in the old woman’s ear, “What if… This motherboard was discovered by your Tong Sheng Group first?”
“…”
Hearing this, the old woman’s eyes flashed.
The middle-aged man at the door also left the room smartly.
Only two people were left. The old woman looked Chen Yu up and down for a moment and said, “I underestimated you. You came with a trick.”
“How about it?” Chen Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip. “Are you interested in cooperating? If your side is the first force to bring out products from the Qingcheng alien realm, it will raise your reputation a lot, right?”
“That’s right.”
“So, a fixed price of 100,000. This motherboard is yours.”
“Even so, 100,000 is impossible. Don’t you know anything about money?”
“Then name a price.”
“…10,000.”
“80,000, that’s it. If it works, then it works. If it doesn’t work, then it’s fine.” Chen Yu stood up.
“If it’s 80,000, then it’s fine.” The old woman waved her hand. “Go by yourself. There’s a black market next door. You can go and ask again.”
Seeing the other party’s firm attitude, Chen Yu sat back down. “Aren’t you guys pushing the price too far?”
“Our Tong Sheng Group never pushes the price down. We don’t earn this kind of petty money.” The old woman shook her head. “If it were a beast bone, weapon, or even a gem from another world, the price would be more than 50,000 yuan. But electronic products like yours, which are in the near future, are the least valuable in themselves. They could only be sold to scientific research institutions for research. However, there are too many future products that scientific research institutions need to research.”
“Then give me another price.”
“12,000.”
“50,000.”
“Even 50,000 won’t do.”
“You’re such a big organization, yet you’re still stalling over this little bit of money.”
“The bigger the power, the more meticulous you have to be. Follow the rules. This thing of yours isn’t worth this money.”
“You still have a reputation,” Chen Yu argued. “The first power to dig out the treasure, who in Qingcheng would not look up to your Tong Sheng Group in the future?”
“This kind of reputation can only prove luck, the effect of publicity is limited.”
“Why don’t you ask your boss again?”
“It’s just a few tens of thousands of dollars, it’s not our place to ask. I can make the decision.”
“Then 40,000.”
“…” The old woman sighed. “I’m freaking annoyed with you. It’s just a fixed price. 30,000. If you can’t do it, then leave. Don’t talk to me anymore.”
“Deal.”
Seeing that he really couldn’t increase it more, Chen Yu could only agree.
He also didn’t expect that high-tech electronic products would be so lousy on the streets… It wasn’t even worth as much as a Qi boosting pill.
As expected, it was a world where all people valued martial arts. They did not understand what it meant to prosper with technology at all…
“We’ll take the motherboard for 30,000 yuan. You have to promise that the first to bring out products from the alien realm will be our Tong Sheng Group.”
The old woman paused slightly and threatened, “If you dare to deceive the Tong Sheng Group, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
“I’m a man of my word.”
The old woman: “…”
Unwilling to talk more with Chen Yu, the old woman wrote out a bill and handed it over. “Take this, and you’ll get 30,000 yuan.”
“30,000 yuan for a motherboard. That’s not bad…” After taking the bill, Chen Yu smacked his lips regretfully. Then, he took out another motherboard from his windbreaker. “Then sell another one.”
The old woman: “???”
“Hurry up and write the ticket.” Chen Yu pushed the motherboard. “I sold you another one, 30,000 yuan.”
“How many do you have?”
“Just two.”
“This…” The old woman frowned. “The second one can’t be 30,000 yuan. You know, giving you 30,000 yuan, it’s a premium.”
“But you said 30,000 yuan for one.” Chen Yu tilted his head. “Isn’t Tong Sheng Group the most trustworthy?”
“30,000 is the first piece!” the old woman roared.
If they were not at the negotiating table, she would have slapped them.
“If the first and second place of the production of the foreign land were all taken by your Tong Sheng Group, it would definitely be more imposing!”
“Then 30,000 won’t do either!”
“Name your price.”
“25,000.”
“Deal.” Chen Yu nodded in agreement.
Taking Back the second motherboard, the old woman put on a straight face and wrote down the second bill. “Here you go.”
“Thank you.” Taking the bill, Chen Yu sighed regretfully. “25,000 for one motherboard. That’s not too bad.”
With that, he took out the third motherboard from his windbreaker. “Then sell another one.”
The old woman: “…F*ck.”
Chen Yu was displeased. “Why are you still scolding people?”
“How many do you have!?”
“Just three. Twenty-five thousand. Take the money.”
“It’s impossible for the third one to be twenty-five thousand!” The old woman tried her best to suppress her anger.
“Then reduce it by another five thousand. Twenty thousand.” Chen Yu pushed the motherboard under the old woman’s eyes. “Let’s make friends.”
“…”
“Think about it. If the first, second, and third place of the alien production were all taken by your Tong Sheng Group, it would definitely be more imposing!”
“…”
After a moment of silence, the old woman wrote down the third bill. “Take it and go.”
“Emmm… 20,000 yuan for a motherboard is not bad, right?”
Hearing that, the old woman immediately became alert. “You…”
The next second, Chen Yu took out the fourth motherboard..
“If the first, second, third, and fourth place were all taken by your Tong Sheng Group, it would definitely be more imposing!”
The old woman: “…Someone! Where’s my knife?!”
