Chapter 33 Unconventional Bargaining
Xu Yuan had chosen a date to modify the feng shui of the cemetery and asked Xu Nuo where he could buy a compass and other items.
He needs these things to resolve any unsuitability of the cemetery.
Xu Nuo thought for a moment and guessed that his older brother might have something he needed in the antique street, so he took him to the largest antique street in Mingdai.
"Brother, you don't have a phone yet. I'll buy you one when we get back."
Xu Nuo walked ahead to remind Xu Yuan to remember this for her.
Walking into the antique street, you'll find antique wooden buildings lining both sides of the cobblestone road, with vendors displaying various items for sale under the eaves.
Xu Yuan walked and looked around, his gaze sweeping over the small stalls he passed.
"Young man, look at this, it's a good item, from the Western Zhou Dynasty."
The stall owner greeted him warmly, and Xu Yuan found it interesting, so he bent down to look at the items on the stall.
Xu Nuo took a few steps and realized that his older brother hadn't followed, so he immediately turned back.
"Brother, are you going to buy these?"
"Don't be fooled by them. They claim it's from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it's actually from last week."
"Hey, how can you talk like that, little girl?"
The stall owner was the first to object when he heard the promise.
"This was passed down from my ancestors. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation."
Xu Nuo, hands on her hips, was completely unfazed: "Western Zhou dynasty artifacts are so rare, even museums have very few. You think you have any here?"
"You're just ignorant, aren't you?"
Do you know what it means to own one of every museum item?
My guarantee is that what's in a museum may not be genuine.
"You old fogey, why are you arguing with a little girl?"
The stall owner next to him couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up with a smile.
"You must have a lot of free time."
"Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well find someone to amuse me." The stall owner smiled, but his expression was lifeless.
Setting up a stall can be boring sometimes. When you finally see someone stop in front of you, why not take the opportunity to chat a bit more and maybe you can swindle something out of them?
Even if things don't go perfectly, if someone sees something interesting and comes over to watch, they might accidentally step on and damage their own things, and then they can pack up early for the day.
Xu Yuan glanced at the Western Zhou items the stall owner was talking about, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He didn't understand the quality or value of these things, but he could still tell that they were definitely not from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"I'm leaving. I won't talk to him."
Xu Nuo snorted and pulled Xu Yuan inside.
Walking to the middle of the antique street, Xu Yuan indeed saw a vendor selling compasses.
He squatted down but didn't take it directly; instead, he asked about the price first.
The stall owner immediately asked for a thousand.
Xu Yuan was slightly shocked. Goodness, is this thing really that expensive?
"Fifty."
Xu Nuo suddenly spoke, extending his palm toward the stall owner sitting on the small stool.
"Little girl, you must be joking with me."
"You're really going too far with your bargaining."
"They cut it in half, you're cutting it at the ankle."
The stall owner saw that they were two young people and wanted to scam them out of a larger sum.
Unexpectedly, the young girl was so shrewd, reducing the price from one thousand to fifty.
"Fifty, that's not even enough for my purchase price."
The stall owner continued to explain, holding up his hand as well: "Five hundred, that's the lowest I can go."
"thirty."
Xu Nuo proudly raised his chin.
The stall owner was slightly taken aback: "Wait, you didn't raise the price at all, so why is it decreasing?"
"Are you going to sell it or not?" Xu Nuo insisted, then pointed in the direction they had come from.
"The store just now offered us a price of twenty, but we didn't take it."
I mainly contacted you because I thought you were honest and had a good appearance.
"If you don't buy it, we'll buy someone else's."
Seeing that the stall owner was not speaking and seemed to be thinking seriously, Xu Nuo reached out and grabbed Xu Yuan's arm to leave.
As she walked, she muttered to herself, "Three, two..."
"Little girl, come back."
Hearing the shouts behind her, Xu Nuo proudly raised her chin at Xu Yuan, as if to say, "I'm awesome, aren't I?"
"You young people these days are really something."
I'll sell it to you at a loss, just because we're destined to meet.
Come back to me if you need anything else.
"If you have anything good to sell, you can come to me."
The stall owner handed over a compass, which Xu Nuo took with both hands and then handed back to Xu Yuan for inspection. After confirming that there were no problems, Xu Nuo scanned the code to pay.
"Boss, we'll come again next time!"
Xu Nuo, holding Xu Yuan's wrist, skipped and hopped forward.
"It seems like we gave them too much."
Xu Yuan raised her hand and ruffled her hair: "I didn't realize you were such a good negotiator."
"Absolutely, we must save where we should and spend where we should."
"I may be rich, but I can't be a sucker."
Xu Yuan smiled, then glanced at a jade pendant on a nearby stall and suddenly stopped.
"Boss, may I take a look at this?"
"Take it yourself."
Xu Yuan reached out and took the jade pendant, carefully examining both sides, and then held it above his head to inspect it closely in the sunlight.
"This is of good quality; I can make a good luck charm for you when I get back."
"Hey, who's this?"
Just as Xu Yuan was about to ask about the price, a sharp female voice rang out.
"Isn't this what we have to promise the beautiful woman?"
Looking back, a man and a woman stood behind them. The woman was heavily made up, her makeup skills were not very mature, and she was wearing a short black leather skirt that accentuated her particularly voluptuous hips.
A thin boy stood next to her, carrying a pink bag. He gave Xu Nuo an awkward smile.
"Zhang Yunxi, what a coincidence!"
Xu Nuo greeted him politely, glancing at the boy behind her with little expression.
"Let's go shopping together."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to run into you here," the boy replied with a smile.
Seeing the boy smiling and answering Xu Nuo, Zhang Yunxi's face grew even uglier, and she turned her head to glare at the boy.
Zhang Yunxi crossed her arms and looked at Xu Yuan with disdain: "Is this your new boyfriend?"
"Your taste isn't very good either?"
"They found this country bumpkin."
She noticed the jade pendant in Xu Yuan's hand and made no attempt to hide her disdain: "What's this for? Are you buying it as a gift?"
"Oh, by the way, I heard that your parents died, your company went bankrupt, and your villa was taken back."
Do you have a place to stay now?
"If you don't have a place to stay, just let me know. As a classmate, I can ask you and I'll help you rent a place."
"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."
Xu Nuo's face was unpleasant as she stared intently into Zhang Yunxi's eyes, maintaining her basic composure throughout.
He reached out and pulled Xu Yuan over, introducing her with a face full of pride: "This is my brother, my own brother."
"Your brother?" the boy behind him asked in surprise.
Throughout his three years of high school, he had been pursuing Xu Nuo and had never heard that she had an older brother.
"What? You think you have a chance now?"
Zhang Yunxi glared at him, making the boy unable to lift his head.
She and Xu Nuo were rivals for three years of high school, competing in exams, clothing, and even stealing the boys who pursued Xu Nuo.
The boy behind her, Wang Xu, was originally a loyal suitor of Xu Nuo, but after hearing that the Xu family had gone bankrupt, he threw himself into Zhang Yunxi's arms the very next day.
All the designer clothes he was wearing, even his underwear and the iPhone in his pocket, were bought for him by Zhang Yunxi.
Zhang Yunxi stepped forward, grabbed the jade pendant, looked it up and down, and then looked at the stall owner.
"Boss, how much is this? I'll take it."
The boss has been around this street for years and is a shrewd businessman.
Seeing the conflict between the two sides, he knew he was about to make a fortune today.
Two hundred thousand.
