Why didn't he bring out the best?
Of course, it was to test the ladies' acceptance of these colored glaze wares. Otherwise, how could he set the highest price?
The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face as he calmly pacified her.
"Madam, please don't blame me. I'm not being rude to you, it's just that … Sigh, if this humble shop brought out the best treasures, it would raise your standards. When that time comes, what treasures should this humble shop bring out to attract your attention and make you linger here?"
Madam Wu Liba blushed and clicked her tongue. "Just bring out the best, why are you worrying about this? Could it be that all the things this madam had bought from you over the years were all fake? Good or bad, when did I not take care of your business? "
The shopkeeper smiled warmly and turned to go upstairs to retrieve the set of glass tea wares that he wanted to sell at a high price.
The previous set was already eye-catching enough, but in front of this set, even the slightest flaw was magnified.
Madam Wu Liba said directly, "I want this set. Shopkeeper, just quote the price directly. You won't miss a cent or a copper coin."
The shopkeeper smiled helplessly and said, "If any businessman were to meet such an easygoing customer like you, he would wake up laughing even in his dreams."
Madam Wu Liba asked boldly, "Shopkeeper, will you laugh tonight because of me?"
"Of course."
Originally, the owner had set the price at 20,000 to 30,000 strings of coins, but the shopkeeper felt that there was still room for appreciation.
Wasn't the most successful businessman trying to maximize the value of a product?
He pondered in his heart and did not speak too confidently, in case there were better quality colored glaze wares next time and it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
If these rich ladies were to kick up a fuss, his old bones would not be able to handle it. With a quick thought, he already had a way to deal with it.
He said, "This set is the best in this batch. It's slightly more expensive than the previous set, 41,000 strings of coins."
Madam Wu Liba was not stupid. She understood the meaning behind his words. "Shopkeeper, are you saying that there will be better colored glaze wares?"
How could that do?
If she was going to buy, she had to buy the most expensive one. Only then would it match her status.
The shopkeeper took out the prepared draft and said, "Ladies, do you know the origin of these colored glaze wares?"
The madams shook their heads. "I don't know. I've never heard of it."
They were also used to seeing good things. There were not many treasures smuggled and sold in the treasure house, but there were almost none that were as beautiful as the colored glaze wares that could awaken their dead young girls' hearts with just a glance.
Although colored glaze wares were a little expensive, it wasn't that they couldn't afford them. However, they had to buy things that were worth it, or else they would lose their value.
"There's a strange record of the Great Xia Dynasty. There was a golden phoenix descending from the sky of the Plum Region, and at the same time, a baby girl was born. This baby girl was one of the founding fathers of the Great Xia Dynasty. After her death, she was conferred the title of Marquis of Inner Pass, Duke Xu. " The shopkeeper explained in detail to the madams, "These colored glass artifacts were found at the place where the Golden Phoenix landed. Each one of them is magnificent. It's just that the person who discovered it was too crude and ignorant, causing some damage to the glazed artifact. It's no longer as stunning as it was before. "
Madam Wu Liba was the most cultured among the madams, and she loved to show off her culture.
She said, "I've heard of this story before. It's said that Marquis of Inner Pass, Duke Xu, had the life of a golden phoenix. She was a goddess who descended from the heavens. These colored glaze wares … could they be celestial items that came with Duke Xu from the Heavenly Palace?"
The shopkeeper hesitated and said, "I don't know about this … these colored glaze wares have been buried deep underground for hundreds of years. A while ago, the earthquake in Dongqing allowed them to see the light of day. The store had to expend a lot of resources to get a few sets of them. Now we're still thinking of ways to get more … the set in front of us is the best one in our shop's collection … "
When the madams heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised. Their already wavering hearts became even more one-sided.
Even if they didn't have a legendary background, they were still tempted. Now that they heard this story, they wanted to snatch it!
Madam Wu Liba saw the expressions of the madams and secretly regretted it. Why did she mention celestial items for no reason?
The shopkeeper took in their expressions and smiled warmly. "Madam, do you want to buy them?"
Madam Wu Liba decisively made the decision. Without waiting for the others to speak, she said, "Of course I want to buy them. It's just 41,000 strings of coins. Shopkeeper, wrap them up and send them to my house. Also, if you have better colored glaze wares here, don't forget to inform me. "
The few madams actually wanted to buy them at a higher price. However, this treasure house had its own rules and wouldn't resell them. If they increased the price, they might even offend Madam Wu Liba. It really wasn't worth it.
Every treasure had a price. If a customer was the first to buy it at the set price, even if the subsequent customers increased the price by a hundred times, they wouldn't resell it. The few madams were regular customers. Of course, they knew the shopkeeper's temperament.
The more upright he was, the more it showed his strength of character. He was obsessed with earning money, but he didn't stink of money. Many noble ladies from the North borderline wanted to invite him to be their guest. However, he was loyal to his wife. The Princess Royal of the North borderline had also offered him an olive branch, but he wasn't moved.
He had such strength of character, humor, looks, and talent …
There wasn't a single part of him that wasn't good. How could he not be attractive?
Another plump madam opened her mouth. "Shopkeeper, take out all the colored glaze wares here."
The shopkeeper smiled and agreed. He personally brought them out.
When the nine sets of glass tea wares were lined up, the dazzling sight made even some madams who didn't have any intention of buying feel tempted.
At this moment, there was only one thought in everyone's mind – don't be afraid of the price. Buy, buy, buy!
The shopkeeper had been dealing with these noble ladies for many years. He naturally knew their extravagant purchasing power. They always bought the most expensive and not the best. These nine sets of glass tea wares, the cheapest was 23,000 strings of coins. Excluding Madam Wu Liba's set, the most expensive was 33,000 strings of coins.
The few madams bought five sets and kept the four cheapest sets.
The total was 146,000 strings of coins!
Sigh, this money was easy to earn. It was even better than robbing.
The shopkeeper sighed silently in his heart. He admired his young master even more.
He had seen his old master Madam Gu's money-making methods.
Ever since Madam Gu passed away, the shopkeeper had never seen someone who was more ruthless in earning money than robbing a bank. Until … he met Madam Gu's child. He could only sigh with emotion. When Liu She asked him for help, his heart that had been dead for a long time came back to life.
He loved to earn money, but he loved the thrill of tricking people even more. He had obviously slaughtered the customers until not even their bones were left, but the other party still felt that he had earned a lot … Based on Madam Gu's evaluation of him, it was probably because he had gained intellectual satisfaction from a mentally handicapped customer?
In short, the feeling of superiority was indeed addicting to the shopkeeper.
