Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 94: Sold and Counted Money

Bargaining is a science.

Customers often find various reasons to bargain.

Although he was obviously very satisfied with the dress, he pretended to be unhappy and wore it reluctantly.

Because if the stall owner finds out that you like a piece of clothing, you will often be asked to pay a high price for it.

Bargaining is a process of psychological game.

For example, "How much did my neighbor pay for it?", "The material is too bad?", "It's not worth the price"...

There are all kinds of reasons.

The stall owner also has to pretend to be heartbroken and start raising the price with all kinds of reasons.

After a long argument, the customer said: No, I'll go to another store to have a look.

At this time, the stall owner will often quote a "final price" that both parties can accept, thus reaching a deal.

How could Lin Ruoxi understand this?
She had sold vegetables before, and the market price of vegetables was relatively stable, and Lin Ruoxi's cost of growing vegetables was not high, so at most she would just have to sell a few vegetables, and she wouldn't suffer too much of a loss.

It is different for products like clothes, which have confusing pricing. The premium is so large that it is staggering.

So bargaining is a normal thing.

"But... I really bought it for 50 yuan." Lin Ruoxi didn't know how to respond to the aunt's move.

"Silly girl, can I lie to you? My neighbor bought it for 30 yuan, the brand and style are the same."

The aunt spoke with certainty, as if it were true.

“Hmm…” Lin Ruoxi felt so wronged, as if she had been cheated by the clothes seller again.

"Well, I'll give you 50 so that you can get your money back." The aunt pretended to be generous and handed Lin Ruoxi 50 yuan.

Lin Ruoxi nodded: "Well...thank you..."

After the old lady took the clothes and left contentedly, the stall owner next door finally couldn't help it.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The man laughed so hard that he fell over. It was the first time he had seen such an innocent girl.

Xue Rui could hardly hold it back any longer. This silly girl even said thank you to others.

"Whenever I sell it to you, you have to count the money for me." Xue Rui pinched Lin Ruoxi's face.

I only sold one piece of clothing in half a day, but in the end I still lost 10 yuan.

"Where...are you going to sell me to..." Lin Ruoxi stared into Xue Rui's eyes and handed the 50 yuan she had received to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui was both angry and amused. It seemed that this girl took it seriously again.

"I was just teasing you. I don't know why you study so well." Xue Rui was so angry that he tapped Lin Ruoxi on the forehead.

Lin Ruoxi covered her forehead and said, "We...seem to have been cheated by the clothing seller."

She thought about it for a long time and felt that the old lady was more sincere.

Xue Rui didn't know how to explain to Lin Ruoxi, so he simply said, "It's possible that both of them lied to you, or it's possible that only one of them lied to you. Who do you think it is?"

"Whoever has the biggest conflict of interest with you has the greatest possibility."

Lin Ruoxi thought for a long time and shook her head blankly. She couldn't figure it out.

"Continue selling clothes." Xue Rui sighed helplessly.

He suddenly had a feeling that Lin Ruoxi was hopelessly stupid.

"Little girl, how are the clothes sold?"

"Hmm...200."

……

After more than an hour, Lin Ruoxi sold more than ten pieces of clothing, but still lost 50 yuan in the end.

Xue Rui felt that if another girl had this face, after some sweet talk, those male customers would have probably paid a high price to buy the clothes.

But Lin Ruoxi was so naive that she figured out her bottom line in just a few words.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Ruoxi still hadn't made a penny, Xue Rui said: "Stop talking, now you are only responsible for letting customers try on clothes."

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi nodded. She felt so useless that she even lost money selling things.

Not long after, another middle-aged woman came over.

"Little girl, how are the clothes?"

Xue Rui smiled and said, "Please try it first. Satisfaction is the most important thing. The price can be negotiated."

He took a quick look at the customer's body shape, rummaged through the clothes, and handed over a piece of similar size.

The aunt touched the material and thought it was good, so she reached out and adjusted the clothes a few times.

The aunt glanced at Lin Ruoxi, then looked at Xue Rui who was groping for something on his body, and asked casually, "How much?"

"280 yuan." Xue Rui casually quoted a price, but he was not observing the customer at the moment. Instead, he was rummaging through his body.

"it is good."

The aunt paid the money readily, as if she was afraid that Xue Rui would go back on his word, and left with the clothes.

Under Lin Ruoxi's surprised gaze, the aunt walked away in a hurry.

The stall owner next door looked curious, as he had never seen anyone who couldn't bargain.

"What are you looking for?" he asked curiously.

"Where is my lighter?" Xue Rui said to himself.

The man threw a lighter over: "Here you go."

"Thanks." Xue Rui pretended to light a cigarette.

Seeing Xue Rui smoking, Lin Ruoxi mustered up the courage to speak up: "Smoking...is not good."

Xue Rui nodded thoughtfully, threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.

After that, this strange phenomenon happened more than once.

"Why?" The stall owner next door scratched his head. Since it was getting dark, it seemed that few people had bargained with the two kids.

And these two kids are so weird. The boy keeps looking for his lighter on his body. When the girl takes a look at it, the boy will put out the cigarette.

This strange picture has been lingering in the man's mind.

"Uncle, let's go." Xue Rui felt that it was about time, so he packed up his stall and rushed to the wholesale market.

"How strange." The man muttered.

This afternoon, Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi sold more than 2000 pieces in total, making a net profit of yuan.

Lin Ruoxi sat in the tricycle and asked curiously, "Why don't they bargain with you?"

Xue Rui smiled and threw a paper bag to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi opened it and saw that it was full of red banknotes. However, the color of these banknotes was a little wrong, and there was also "practice coupons" written on them.

"When they try on clothes, they can touch these training coupons." Xue Rui said with a smile.

These practice coupons are small props that Xue Rui asked Chen Shen to find.

Xue Rui crumpled these exercise coupons and stuffed them into the pockets of clothes. When customers tried on clothes, they subconsciously reached into their pockets and felt a roll of exercise coupons that felt very much like banknotes.

In addition, Xue Rui also stuffed in a few real coins. The customers were afraid of being discovered by the stall owner, so they only dared to take a sneak peek and only saw a roll of red and green bills.

The feel is right, the color is right, and the sky is dark...

They subconsciously thought that this was something the stall owner had casually put inside a piece of clothing and had now forgotten about it.

In addition, Xue Rui made the gesture of "looking for a lighter" from time to time, and they were afraid of being discovered by the stall owner. The greed of human nature was infinitely magnified at that moment, so they had no time to bargain with Lin Ruoxi.

So when Xue Rui quoted the sky-high price of 280 yuan, he readily paid the money and left.

Feeling guilty like thieves, they dared not to take a closer look. Instead, they left in a hurry with a secretly delighted attitude.

"I... don't understand." Lin Ruoxi found Xue Rui's words difficult to understand.

Why is it that after I put this up, no one bargains with me?
She had some clues, but she couldn't grasp it.

In the end, Xue Rui returned the tricycle and the remaining clothes. Although the wholesale owner lowered the price a bit, it didn't matter since he had no use for those clothes.

"You earned two thousand, won't you treat me to a meal?" Xue Rui touched Lin Ruoxi's head.

"Well...you make money, I...I will only lose money." Lin Ruoxi said with her head down.

She hasn't figured it out yet, but she feels that making money mainly depends on Xue Rui.

"Would you like to eat shrimp?" Lin Ruoxi said, pointing to a small restaurant nearby.

"Eat." Xue Rui agreed immediately.

The two ordered a signature shrimp dish and a few other dishes.

"Would the old lady like to eat tonight? Go back and pack some for her."

"Grandma won't eat it."

Lin Ruoxi bit her fingers and suddenly figured something out.

"This...isn't this a lie?" Lin Ruoxi suddenly realized.

After Xue Rui's guidance, she finally figured out the key point. The reason why those people didn't bargain was that they regarded Xue Rui's training coupons as real money.

"Lying? What did I lie to them about? Did I ever say I would give them money if they bought me clothes?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

"Um...no." Lin Ruoxi shook her head stupidly.

She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"They want to take advantage of you, but because they are too greedy, they outsmart themselves," Xue Rui sighed.

"If you weren't so pretty, there wouldn't be so many customers today. This money is yours."

Xue Rui smiled and added: "How does it feel to lie?"

Lin Ruoxi hasn't recovered yet.

"If you don't use some tricks, you will be losing money all day. Now you know why others want to cheat you?" Xue Rui pinched Lin Ruoxi's face.

"I...I don't want to lie." Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to look into Xue Rui's eyes when she spoke.

"Ah~" Xue Rui sighed. This silly girl was so easy to trust others and was fooled by them.

Two thousand yuan in cash was placed in front of her, but she was not moved at all.

To be honest, Xue Rui admires him very much.

However, if he was not with Lin Ruoxi, who knows how much this girl would suffer in the future.

"Sister, the food is ready." The little boy came over with a plate.

Xue Rui smiled at the little boy.

This shop is run by a couple. When they came in, the little boy was still lying on the table doing his homework.

This reminded him of his childhood when his family also ran a small restaurant.

Suddenly, the little boy tripped over a trash can under his feet.

Lin Ruoxi was startled and hurriedly supported the little boy, but the soup spilled on her skirt.

"Are you okay?" Lin Ruoxi helped the little boy up, took out a tissue and wiped him, muttering, "Fortunately it's a cold dish, be careful."

"Sorry, sorry, it's our fault. We will give you a new portion." A man ran out from the kitchen and hurriedly apologized to Lin Ruoxi.

“No need…” Lin Ruoxi was very flustered. She waved her hands repeatedly and picked up the plate that fell on the ground:
"It's still edible, no need to change, I'll just wash the clothes."

Xue Rui frowned. Lin Ruoxi always tries to please others. This is obviously the compensation she deserves. Why doesn't she want it?
"Why?" Xue Rui asked curiously.

Lin Ruoxi whispered: "When I was a child, I would be beaten for breaking a bowl. I was afraid..."

Xue Rui's eyes narrowed and he looked around. What was Lin Ruoxi worried about?
The little boy knocked over the food and soiled the guests' clothes.

If you lose money...

Is Lin Ruoxi worried about the little boy?

Afraid that the little boy will be violent because he made the store pay for his work?

The middle-aged man looked panicked. He saw that Lin Ruoxi's skirt was splashed with oil and he hurriedly looked around for paper.

"Boss, let's take it away." Xue Rui insisted on paying the bill.

"I'm really sorry..." The man apologized repeatedly and insisted on giving Xue Rui a few more side dishes and drinks.

Before leaving, Xue Rui kicked the trash can:

"You put this trash can in there and it's tripping over the kids."

On the way back, Xue Rui took Lin Ruoxi's hand and said, "He won't be beaten."

Lin Ruoxi's face was red and her arms were a little stiff.

Xue Rui usually pinches her face and hits her head...

This was the first time I held her hand so gently.

She always felt that this seemed to mean something...

It seems that these young couples in school are like this?

Xue Rui stroked Lin Ruoxi's hand. Her slender palm did not feel as good as Gu Muxue's, and there were some slightly hard calluses on the palm.

Lin Ruoxi had been caught in the rain herself, and always wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

Xue Rui thought there was no need to correct Lin Ruoxi, as this kindness was innate and difficult to change.

He turned his head to glance at Lin Ruoxi, and suddenly felt that he was not worthy of this angel on earth.

But what exactly has this angel experienced?
To be honest, he now wanted to run to Hua Village and pee on that scumbag's grave.
