Douluo: What if Bibi Dong has a problem?

Chapter 198 The profiteer and the girl

Except for a few genuine and precious gadgets around the shop owner, the entire store was bought in bulk from the second-hand market, with an average cost of less than 10 gold soul coins.

Of course, there are some things here that even the store owner himself cannot understand the value of, but this does not prevent the store owner from making money.

Generally, merchants mark prices based on the value of the goods themselves and the region, such as food, daily necessities, weapons and even treasures.

But this shop owner is different. He sets the price based on how much the customers are willing to pay. The so-called 100 gold soul coins are just bait for him to watch the customers' reactions.

If the customer is resolute, the store owner will naturally change his mind and increase the price until his psychological bottom line is reached. When the customer bites the bullet and buys it, the store owner will naturally make a profit, because the cost is less than 10 gold soul coins.

If the customer can't help but choose to leave the store directly, the owner will not be at a loss. He will carefully observe the products, and even if he can't see any clues, he will move to the position next to him and the next time he will quote a higher price, not a lower price.

This sales technique is not very clever. The key to really playing it well is the store owner’s vulture-like precise and ruthless eyes under the black square-rimmed glasses. He must be able to quickly derive the psychologically expected price by observing the customer’s reaction.

It was obvious that Tang San's reaction was a fat sheep in his eyes. It didn't matter that he didn't know Ban Jing, the key was that Tang San knew the goods.

A common man who is a great soul master is willing to spend 100 gold soul coins as a soul master subsidy for ten months without hesitation to buy a piece of broken crystal that doesn't look good at first sight.

He, Flanders, could smell something was wrong without opening his eyes. He had genuine eagle eyes, and he took another look at Tang San.

"Are you sure you won't change it again?" Tang San asked coldly with a tense face, over and over again, he couldn't bear it.

Logically speaking, the right way for him to turn around and leave at this moment is that this plate crystal is too precious. 100 gold soul coins is no different from giving it away for free, and the same is true for 200 gold soul coins.

The middle-aged shop owner secretly laughed in his heart, where did Hina come from? Even though he looked more mature, he was just a half-grown boy with hair not fully grown, but he remembered that the crystal was nothing special.

But looking at his reaction, Flanders responded lazily: "Okay, five hundred gold soul coins, no changes. You can take it if you pay, otherwise please leave."

Five hundred gold soul coins, Tang San looked gloomy, in his heart this person was the worst profiteer he had ever seen.

Because gold is relatively heavy, he only carried 200 gold soul coins in his backpack.

There was 1000 gold soul coins that he had carefully hidden in the hotel, but the cost of joining Shrek Academy was unknown, and it also cost money to buy ore to make hidden weapons.

He could come up with 500 gold soul coins, but how could he ensure that this dishonest profiteer would not raise the price again?
For example, if he goes back to get money now, what should he do if the profiteer comes back and says that the previous price was 500 gold soul coins, but the current price is 1000 gold soul coins?
Just when Tang San was hesitating, a familiar figure walked into the store. Tang San turned his head and was subconsciously surprised. It was the girl from the Rose Hotel before.

What a coincidence?Tang San thought of the signboard of this small shop and shook his head.

No, the door number of this store is very high, and most soul masters don't know it. It's normal for this ignorant girl to be attracted by the door number.

The girl didn't care about Tang San, whom she had met once, but she didn't look at the products immediately, but looked at the store owner emphatically.

Flanders also seemed to feel something, opened his eyes and stood up from the recliner, looking at the young girl's face with some surprise, which then turned into a cheerful smile.

"Please feel free to use this new guest."

After glancing at the three walls, the girl focused on a few things beside the shop owner. However, she did not ask the price, but directly asked, "Is there a storage soul guide here?"

Hearing the storage soul guide, Tang San also pricked up his ears and looked at the boss. His savings were more than 1200 gold soul coins.

If he could get plate crystals and storage soul guides, he wouldn't care about these extraneous things.

"The customer is joking. The cheapest storage soul guide sells for a sky-high five-digit price at the auction house. The products in our store are all displayed on the wall, but I collected these things from others. I don’t know the details, maybe there’s something in there that the customer really wants.”

Flanders shook his head and deliberately hinted to the girl that he could tell that the girl was extraordinary just from her dress, and there were many details that could tell that she was wealthy.

If the first great soul master was just an ordinary fat sheep, then this girl whose true identity he couldn't even see clearly was a top-notch fat sheep with golden fleece.

"By the way, boy, do you want to pay the 500 gold soul coins? Otherwise, I ask you to leave."

500 gold soul coins?The middle-aged shopkeeper's voice drew the girl's attention to Tang San and the crystal in front of him.

The ornamental price of a crystal with a large number of impurities, even if it is the size of a human head, will definitely not exceed 10 gold soul coins, but why is the boy who has met once so hesitant?
"Selling this for 500 gold soul coins?" The girl walked to Tang San and looked at the crystal. She did not scold the boss for his treachery like ordinary people.

On the contrary, the black pupils in her eyes became darker and darker, and then she turned her hand and a huge coin appeared in her hand.

That coin was very special. One side was made of brass-like material with an unknown coordinated texture, and the other side was a shell made of transparent glass.

The fine white liquid between the metal and the glass rolled inside, filling approximately five-sixths of the space.

The girl placed the metal side of the coin directly on the plate crystal, and then the white liquid changed color, first to yellow, then to purple, and finally completely black with red threads appearing in it.

Tang San looked a little dissatisfied at the girl next to him, and felt even more uneasy watching her operations.Faced with the risk of being raised by the boss, he turned to look at the middle-aged store owner and said, "I want this."

Then he looked at the girl nervously. In terms of financial resources and strength, he subconsciously felt that he could not compare with the girl.

Fortunately, the girl just looked at him deeply and did not speak. Instead, she looked at the middle-aged shop owner who came over with a smile.
The shop owner looked at the little guy and then at the girl who didn't stop him. He hesitated for a moment and did not perform the endless tricks on the little sheep over and over again in front of the big fat sheep.

"You give me 500 gold soul coins, and this is yours."

Things went so smoothly, Tang San suppressed the excitement in his heart and added, "But I didn't bring so much money, can you wait until I bring the money back? I will definitely bring 500 gold soul coins to trade before dark."

The shop owner sneered in his heart, but shook his head and did not respond clearly.

Now he is just worried about leaving a bad impression on the girl. After he has entertained the big fat sheep, he will naturally have the energy to take good care of the little fat sheep.

Seeing the reaction of the shop owner, Tang San felt uneasy and instead of stupidly choosing to leave and go back to the hotel to get money, he spoke again to confirm.

"I will come to the store with 500 gold soul coins to trade within an hour. Boss, are you sure about this?"

"I can only say that the current price of this crystal is 500 gold soul coins." The middle-aged shop owner replied lazily to Tang San and ignored him.

Turning his head, he looked at the girl with a little enthusiasm that a store owner should have, and his voice was no longer lazy but vague, "This guest, is there anything you like?"

The girl didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper with a shoehorned face next to her, but looked at Tang San, who couldn't contain his anger and had a gloomy expression.

"Hey, do you want to buy this crystal now?"

"I..." Tang San's face turned red and he opened his mouth. He wanted to buy it, but since he didn't have a storage soul guide, he really didn't carry so much cash.

"That's right, kid. If you have money, pay as soon as possible. If you don't have money, please leave. Don't affect the business of my store." Flanders on the side also said to chase people away with a serious expression.

"I'm not buying it now, but I want to reserve this first. Even if the price is higher, it doesn't matter. I can bring the money within an hour."

Tang San made a last-ditch effort, staring intently at the middle-aged shop owner, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

The girl still looked at the middle-aged shop owner calmly without speaking.

"We pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. We are honest and honest. We only do face-to-face transactions. We do not support the transaction method you mentioned. Please leave quickly, kid."

Flanders was very confident in his vision. This girl was obviously also interested in this crystal, so his focus naturally shifted from the big soul master boy to her.

How much money can a great soul master have? To be honest, Flanders was surprised that he could take out 500 gold soul coins, but even if he doubled the risk, he could only get 1000 gold soul coins.

But if it were a girl with golden fleece, the starting price would be 1000 gold soul coins.

All profiteers deserve to die, especially the one in front of me. There is definitely a way to die!Tang San couldn't hold back any longer, gritted his teeth and firmly remembered the face of this profiteer, then turned around and left.

However, when Tang San walked out of the store, he did not choose to go back to the hotel to get money in a hurry. Instead, he used the Purple Demon Eyes across the street to carefully observe the situation in the store.

. . .

"How much does this crystal cost?"

Seeing that Tang San had left, the girl pointed at the crystal and looked at the store owner, her eyes deep as if she had seen something, and she directly bought it without taking out the 500 gold soul coins.

"Beauty girls really know what they're selling. This crystal is priced at 1000 gold soul coins. Just now I saw that boy was young, so I gave him a [-]% off child price."

The middle-aged shop owner made up the lie without blushing, as if he were telling the truth.

"1000 gold soul coins? No increase?" the girl looked at the middle-aged shop owner and asked meaningfully.

"Hahaha, this crystal is indeed priced at 1000 gold soul coins, but that was yesterday's price. Its current price is 2000 gold soul coins."

Flanders said, but he was also unsure in his heart. After all, this thing must be a piece of crystal. No matter how expensive it is, it can't be more expensive than a soul guide.

A three-digit business does not matter to him, but a four-digit business means that even he has to worry about gains and losses.

If we miss this one, that big soul master boy won't be able to get 2000 gold soul coins even if he is willing to be a grudge.

"Deal." The girl put the crystal into the storage belt with one hand, wiped the jade on the belt with the other hand, took out two cards and handed them over.
