Young Again

Chapter 33: A camera that takes good-looking photos of people

Chen Wang just wanted to try out the portrait quality, and he didn't expect Li Xintong to give him her entire face.

She is cool and clean in the picture, giving people a sense of arrogance and equality as she hates the world.

But this is also a misunderstanding of the language of the lens.

Her abstraction is far more serious than it appears.

With a click, Chen Wang pressed the shutter. Then, he lowered his head and studied Li Xintong in the camera, not looking at her again.

Li Xintong also turned back quite naturally, as if nothing had happened.

What a calm couple.

If the boy hadn't spoken just now, the boss would have almost mistaken them for a mute couple.

"Boss, name a price."

Chen Wang looked at Li Xintong in the camera and was quite satisfied with this excellent mid-range SLR camera.

Because it seems that it can make people look very good.

"You tell me how much it's worth and I'll give it to you based on your opinion." said the boss with a smile.

"One thousand." Chen Wang said casually, and then added, "It's one thousand in nine hundred and ninety-nine and one thousand and one, not one thousand and eighteen."

He knew that the boss wanted to raise the price randomly, so he started to play a joke on him.

"You must be kidding. It's made in Japan. Is it possible to sell it at this price?" The boss laughed.

"Then just shout." Chen Wang said.

Even though he knew the other party was familiar with the knowledge, the boss still said, "Three thousand, one price."

This time it was Chen Wang who was happy. He looked at him and complained, "Brother, a new phone is only over 4,000 yuan."

"Four thousand and nine is also four thousand, right?"

"That second-hand one can't possibly be worth three thousand."

"Then name me a price." The boss continued to play with his emotional intelligence and still refused to show his desired price.

"You can give me less." Chen Wang said, "I can still consider it if you give me less."

"That two thousand eight, can't be any less."

Both of them knew that their psychological price was actually the one thousand that they both shouted plus three thousand divided by two, which was two thousand yuan.

A second-hand Canon 600D with an 18-55 IS lens and original batteries, if in good condition, will cost you two thousand.

But for a machine like this in such good condition, it’s okay to pay a hundred or two hundred more.

Therefore, the key to the problem lies in how much more you can earn and how much less you can spend based on the price expected by both parties.

"Then let's see."

Chen Wang put down his SLR camera, patted Li Xintong's elbow, said "Let's go" and prepared to leave.

"Just name a price, handsome guy. I didn't say you can't bargain." The boss reluctantly tried to persuade him to stay.

"Eighteen hundred." Chen Wang said firmly.

"This may not be sellable. I can't even get it back. Please add more."

"That two thousand is all I have in my budget. If I can, I'll pay for it now."

Chen Wang knew that it could definitely be sold for two thousand yuan.

He also only wanted to spend two thousand.

Of course, if you fail to get it, you can just go to the next one. After all, this is only the first store you have visited.

However, the price of goods is determined by their value. Cow dung cannot be sold at the same price as red bean paste.

Wanting to save as much budget as possible means lowering the requirements for product quality.

Having said that, Chen Wang's requirement is at least a mid-range device; an entry-level device is not enough.

Hearing this, the shop owner's attitude changed significantly. But his expression was still innocent, as if he was losing a lot of money. He said, "I can't make any money from selling it for 2,000 yuan. You can give me a little more."

"I only brought two thousand. If I can, I'll take it."

"You should add a little more. This price is really too low."

"Just two thousand."

"Add a little more."

Just when the two were at a stalemate, Li Xintong, with her hands on the glass cabinet, said in a pleasant but calm voice: "Two thousand, let's buy another tape recorder."

"..."

The owner was stunned.

Facing the girl's piercing eyes, he blushed slightly.

"May I?"

Li Xintong leaned forward slightly, still staring at him, and asked in an expressionless but somewhat 'strong' tone.

Being asked by such a girl. Although this is obviously not a spoiled child, but just this face saying such words, even the most cunning businessman will return to the simplicity of his youth...

.........

Finally, they spent 2,100 RMB on a tape recorder and a SLR camera. They put them in a bag with "San Ge Digital" printed on it and walked out of the digital city.

"Did I just tell you that I was at a loss?" Li Xintong suddenly said.

In fact, when she opened her mouth, she felt a little regretful, wondering if she had disrupted Chen Wang's bargaining rhythm.

So when she asked the question for the second time, it already had a bit of a questioning tone.

Meaning: You'd better agree quickly.

"No." Chen Wang smiled and said, "It was cut very well, no problem."

I've also tried that tape recorder, and there's no major problem with it. It would cost a hundred dollars if I bought it again.

Add the two together and you get the required budget.

In fact, at the end of it, he didn't think the boss would agree.

After all, the price I gave was normal. If the item was just left there, it wouldn't depreciate quickly.

The boss probably thinks that after going around, he will eventually come back.

But unexpectedly, Li Xintong spoke.

That's the only additional factor.

If you don't understand why he agreed, you can imagine that An Jiani was holding the SLR camera, with drooping eyebrows and said coquettishly: Just sell it to me, okay?

Li Xintong can also achieve the same effect.

If someone has a sour face...ah no, a mature woman complex.

All I can say is that the beauty economy will never go out of style.

"Can you show me what you took just now?"

Li Xintong asked Chen Wang.

"sure."

Chen Wang took the SLR camera out of his bag, brought out the photo with one hand, and handed it to Li Xintong: "Here."

Li Xintong took the SLR, put one hand through the SLR strap, looked at herself on the LCD screen, and felt a little weird.

It seems that I am not the same as myself in the mirror...

However, it was shot very well.

It is much more realistic than the camera on a mobile phone. The colors are also rich.

Because the background of Digital City was quite messy, when Chen Wang took the picture of himself, he blurred the back a little bit, so there was no feeling of overshadowing the main subject.

"Is this a photography technique?" Li Xintong asked curiously, "Just blur the back."

"Little depth of field." Chen Wang said casually.

“How did you take that photo?”

Li Xintong was particularly surprised, because Chen Wangjia looked like an ordinary working-class person and should not have a hobby like photography that costs a lot of money.

“I learned it in Hawaii.”

"Are you also a famous detective?"

Li Xintong's natural response to the joke made Chen Wang feel for the first time that he had resonated with the natives of 13.

Quite, comfortable.

"I used my uncle's SLR before and learned a little bit from it. Then I saved some money just to buy a second-hand one today." Chen Wang said.

"That's it..."

Chen Wang’s explanation was quite reasonable, so Li Xintong nodded.

Then, the two continued to move forward.

Li Xintong also admired this photo. The more she looked at it, the more bizarre it seemed to her, but she liked it very much.

But she didn't realize that she was about to get off the escalator.

As Chen Wang was walking and preparing to go down the stairs, he suddenly saw Li Xintong's foot stepping into empty space, and the center of gravity of her body fell downwards...

Seeing this, he quickly reached out his hand to pull her up.

But in her astonishment, she suddenly wrapped the SLR camera against her chest with both hands, protecting it tightly.

There is no hand left to pull.

In a hurry, he could only put his entire arm around Li Xintong's belly!
Chen Wang instantly locked onto her soft waist, and at the same time, she felt the fragrance coming through her warm sweater.

Li Xintong, who was worried about the SLR being broken, used herself as a cushion. She was still in shock from what happened just now and hadn't reacted yet. Chen Wang had already hugged her tightly in his arms...

"Li Xintong, where's your hand?"

Chen Wang, who was also frightened, couldn't help but question after escaping the crisis.

Damn it! You just fell down like this, do you want to become a vegetable?
"..."

However, the dumbfounded Li Xintong did not hear the reproach in Chen Wang's tone. She just raised her right hand weakly with the back of her hand facing upwards, like a clumsy dance partner, at the man's request...
