The driver was very moved when he heard this and said: "Hey, you are really thoughtful. I wish I had a sensible child like you. [26nbsp;] It's a pity that I have to go home, and there is still a mother-in-law and a baby waiting at home.
Me, otherwise, I will send you to the capital, and I will go and broaden your horizons. However, although I cannot send you, I can still help you in Xiaoyue Town."
With that said, the driver urged the carriage to move forward. After walking more than thirty meters, the driver stopped the carriage outside a grocery store and shouted loudly inside: "Boss Wang, come out and take a look at these rabbit skins."
Take it or not."
Wang Tao wanted to sell the big package made of rabbit skin bedding. He didn't have a needle or thread, so he just cut the broken rabbit skin into strips and simply sewed several pieces of rabbit skin together. Of course, city people wouldn't want this.
It's a rough thing. There are dozens of rabbit skins in the package, and fifty complete rabbit skins in the big bag. The color of the fur is pure white. He plans to keep those rabbit skins and sell them in big cities.
out.
As soon as the driver finished speaking, a thin middle-aged man walked out of the grocery store. He looked at Wang Tao with a pair of eyes slyly, and then fell on the two packages in the car. The driver pointed at the rabbit skin package and said: "
Boss Wang, this is the bag of rabbit skins, let’s see how much it costs.”
Boss Wang opened the rabbit skin package and carefully identified the rabbit skins one by one. After a long while, Boss Wang raised his eyes from the rabbit skin and said to the driver: "Zhang Laowu, although this rabbit skin is still intact, it is
They are all mottled colors, and this rabbit skin bedding is too rough. It is not worth much money at all, even if it is ruined. Moreover, now that winter is about to pass, it is difficult to sell. So, I will pay you fifteen copper coins for these rabbit skins.
I've accepted all the pieces, and for your sake, I'll also accept the ones made into bedding at this price."
The driver said: "Boss Wang, you are a bit bullying. These are good leather goods, and you actually give such a low price. Forget it, I'd better ask Boss Hao."
After saying that, the driver moved the bag of rabbit skins to the middle of the car, picked up the reins and started to drive forward. When Boss Wang saw this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Old Zhang, how can you have such a bad temper with the driver?"
It's the same as always, do you want to do business? If you think the price is not suitable, we can discuss it. How can you leave without saying a word?"
The driver said angrily: "What are you still discussing? You gave such a low price. How can we negotiate? I'd better ask Boss Hao. There's no need to waste any more time."
Boss Wang said anxiously: "Lao Zhang, what do you mean? You should know that Lao Hao is not a fuel-saving lamp. If you come to him, he will definitely let him cheat you and lose his pants. Let's do this, Lao Zhang
, seeing that we have often dealt with each other before, I collected all these rabbit skins for only forty-five copper coins in one palm. Now that winter has passed, I don’t know how long these rabbit skins will last.”
The driver said: "Boss Wang, you think I don't know. Last year I saw you selling a rabbit skin for more than one silver coin, but now you only sell forty-five copper coins. You are too shameless."
Boss Wang blushed when he heard this and said: "Old Zhang, do you know how much the annual rent of my shop is? Do you know how much my clerk earns per year? Do you know how much tax the town collects every year?
?Hmph, even if I earn half of a rabbit skin, it won’t be enough for the shop’s pick-up fee. Let’s do this, a rabbit skin can cost up to fifty coppers, otherwise you can go find Lao Hao.”
The driver was not in a hurry to leave at this time. He smiled and said: "Boss Wang, don't cry about being poor. Who doesn't know that your shop is the most profitable in this town, and the surrounding villages buy their daily necessities from you."
, if you still lose money, everyone else will have closed down long ago. Let’s just say, if you want a rabbit skin for sixty-five coppers, I’ll sell it to you.”
Boss Wang immediately showed a bitter look on his face and said: "Old Zhang, you still say that I am a profiteer. I think you are more ruthless. Why don't you grab sixty-five copper coins? If it were autumn, these rabbit skins might still be there."
It’s worth sixty, and now, it’s fifty-five at most. I don’t know when I can sell it. It’s just land and money. Maybe the bugs will bite me and I’ll lose everything.”
The driver said: "Boss Wang, you are too unrealistic. I don't know how to do business, and I don't have time to bargain with you. The price is sixty. If you want it, you can stay. If you don't want it, I will go to Lao Hao's place."
go."
Boss Wang had a look of pain on his face, and after a long time he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Lao Zhang, I will do this business even if I pay the loss. Anyway, I can't give that Lao Hao an advantage."
The driver said: "Huh, boss Wang is doing business at a loss, only a devil would believe it."
While talking, the driver looked at Wang Tao. After all, Wang Tao was the owner of the rabbit skin. Wang Tao had been watching the two bargaining with interest. Speaking of which, the number one lobbyists in the Warring States Period were Guiguzi's disciples Zhang Yi and Su Qin.
Although he also learned this knowledge, he had no practical experience because he had never been in contact with the outside world.
Wang Tao saw the driver looking at him and knew that the price should be about the same, so he nodded slightly. If he bargained with Boss Wang himself, although he had enough knowledge of negotiation skills, he had never practiced it, and he didn't know how to negotiate.
Given the value of the skin and his youthful appearance, the rabbit skin might not even be sold for half the price.
Although Boss Wang had a painful look on his face and seemed to have no choice but to agree, Wang Tao still saw a cunning light in his eyes, which showed that he had made a lot of money with sixty copper coins.
However, Wang Tao still believes that the driver has obtained the best interests for him, although because his health-preserving formula has not yet formed Xiao Zhoutian, he cannot activate his eyes with spiritual energy to achieve spiritual goals, and the physiognomy he learned from Guiguzi is still not completely accurate.
It depends on a person's nature and luck, but he can still see honesty and reliability in the face of the driver.
Boss Wang counted the rabbit skins one by one. There were more than eighty rabbit skins in total, and handed over fifty silver coins and some copper plates to the driver. Wang Tao also bought some salt and a skin bag with water from the grocery store.
His gourds were just simple water vessels. One of his gourds had cracked due to the freezing weather, so he spent money to buy a water bladder.
The driver accompanied Wang Tao to a small tailor shop to buy clothes, pants and shoes, and then to a snack bar to buy a lot of steamed buns, corn tortillas and other dry food and some pickles. From the beginning to the end, the driver was the one who took part in the bargaining. He just stood aside.
Watch. Finally, after spending more than 20 silver coins to purchase everything, the driver personally sent him out of the east of the town and gave him the general direction of the capital.
