Chapter 1159 - 1154: Astonishing Purchase Volume
Chu Touzai has been hustling at the flea market for over a decade.
He’s seen countless wealthy patrons, countless naive kids, and countless shrewd individuals.
But these three traits are usually separate. It’s almost impossible to find them in one person.
But it’s the first time he’s met someone like Qin Hao, who is both generous and naive.
You’re here for the first time, and you know nothing.
Yet you casually offer me ten thousand yuan as a consultation fee.
But now, you’re so aggressive about haggling?
Alright then, Chu Touzai feels a bit of a headache and is also quite frustrated.
He’s supposed to be an experienced old fox.
Will he really be outplayed by this newcomer?
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand, but only because you just gave me a ten thousand tip!"
Chu Touzai said, spreading his hands.
"Great. That number is tempting," Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "In light of your generosity, Brother, I’ll offer three hundred thousand."
"..." Chu Touzai was at a loss for words.
Is this guy insane or what?
Is this how you play the game?
It’s too much!
"Brother, you go ahead, I’m not selling anymore!"
Chu Touzai started shouting.
This kind of ruthlessly bargaining customer is someone I can’t deal with, can’t I just shoo him away?
But to be honest.
Chu Touzai’s move is just a bargaining tactic.
He’s doing this to apply psychological pressure on Qin Hao.
If the other party really wants this Snow Lotus Ginseng, then he surely won’t leave.
Unfortunately, Qin Hao indeed just walked away.
Without a word, he turned around and moved to another stall, eagerly browsing and chatting with the stall owner.
Chu Touzai felt a cold sweat, is this kid really not planning to buy? Leaving so decisively?
"Hey, young man, come back, we can talk more!" Chu Touzai started shouting. He had no choice, the shop hadn’t opened for days and he needed to eat.
Qin Hao then returned, smiling playfully, "What now. Brother Chu changed his mind?"
"Hmm, I think the previous price was a bit inappropriate. How about this, I’ll give it to you for five hundred and fifty thousand. That’s already my limit, you need to know, a ginseng of this age has that value even in the common market, even if it’s only thirty years."
Qin Hao just smiled slightly and said with a firm tone, "Three hundred and ten thousand, that’s already my limit."
"Pfft!" Chu Touzai almost spat out old blood, "Brother, you can’t be so stingy! I’ve already made such a concession, and you’re still haggling here!"
Qin Hao grinned, "Brother Chu, let’s be honest with each other. You said this Snow Lotus Ginseng is fifty years old, but in my eyes, it’s only a mere ten years. If it weren’t for the fact that Brother Chu is a decent person, I wouldn’t even bother looking at it."
This took Chu Tian by surprise.
Qin Hao wasn’t wrong, this Snow Lotus Ginseng was indeed ten years old. As for the fifty years, well, that was just a sales pitch with some embellishment.
However, the Snow Lotus Ginseng is entirely white and its size doesn’t change with age.
Under normal circumstances, you have to cut it open to determine its age.
Because of this condition.
Using Snow Lotus Ginseng to scam people has become commonplace at the flea market.
Chu Touzai couldn’t understand how Qin Hao was able to spot the trickery?
"Brother..." Chu Touzai’s voice became somewhat hoarse, "I thought you were a newbie and hoped to cut a deal, but I didn’t expect you to be so sharp and competent. I miscalculated."
Qin Hao smiled slightly, "Brother Chu, no need to feel bad, you all have to make a living too."
"Brother..." Chu Touzai’s tone was sincere, "In that case, I won’t be greedy for your money, the procurement price was one hundred and fifty thousand, if you’d like, just take it."
Qin Hao opened his eyes in surprise.
Didn’t expect this old fox to be so charming after all.
"Then I won’t stand on ceremony." Qin Hao wasn’t bashful, scanning the QR code to transfer one hundred fifty thousand, took the Snow Lotus Ginseng in hand, and inquired, "Brother Chu, do you have a backpack here?"
"Yes, the backpack is a freebie." Chu Touzai took out a backpack and handed it over, asking, "Brother, are you planning to buy a lot of things?"
Qin Hao put the bag on, stuffed in the Snow Lotus Ginseng, and said, "Yes, I’m going to a dangerous place later, preparing to refine more Elixirs."
"A pharmacist, too!" Chu Touzai was shocked but quickly understood, "No wonder my Snow Lotus Ginseng didn’t fool you, brother, you’re a pro!"
Qin Hao just smiled without saying anything, "Just proficient in some basic Elixir refining."
Chu Touzai nodded in agreement.
He believed what Qin Hao said was true.
Because, the path of Elixir refining is extremely difficult. It not only requires talent but also immense financial resources to support it.
Under normal circumstances, at twenty years old one is usually in the budding stages of wealth.
How could there be so much spare money to invest in Elixir refining?
The known Elixir Masters in Huaxia are almost all over forty years old.
So, in people’s minds, a true Elixir Master is always an old man, it’s almost a rule.
With Qin Hao being so young, it’s understandable that Chu Touzai didn’t really believe he was a true Elixir Master.
"Didn’t expect I misread."
Chu Touzai joked half-heartedly, "Brother, I don’t have much herbs here, but if you’re looking for other herbs, would you mind having an additional guide?"
"Brother Chu does that kind of work too?" Qin Hao blinked and smiled.
"Sigh, competition is intense these days, business is tough to do!" Chu Touzai showed a helpless expression, "Brother, I’m quite cheap. Plus, I’m very familiar with every square inch of the flea market, you won’t go wrong with me guiding you."
"Uh, well then." Qin Hao thought the proposal was quite good.
Besides, the flea market is said to cover two thousand square meters in area, with countless commodities lined up, a normal person would get dizzy just walking through it. Not to mention searching for herbs.
Having Chu Tian guide them, things should go much smoother.
"Brother, wait here, let me pack up this stall." After saying that, Chu Touzai started organizing and packing.
Qin Hao rolled his eyes, "Not doing any business at all?"
But after a closer look, Chu Touzai’s stall was filled with goods meant to scam newcomers. No wonder business was bad.
In just a moment, Chu Touzai packed the herbs into what seemed like a ready iron box, locked it, then put his arm around Qin Hao’s shoulder, "Brother, let’s go."
As they walked, Qin Hao asked, "Brother, you’re just leaving your stuff here?"
"Yes. There’s no theft here." Chu Touzai looked around, "The best thing about the flea market is its security. Any thief or thug discovered here gets relentlessly chased, so brother, don’t worry about things getting stolen."
"I see." Qin Hao nodded.
Chu Touzai then asked, "Brother, what herbs do you need?"
"Purple Mallow, Steamed Bun Peak, Mare’s Tail, Yellow Moss, Blood Ginseng, Yuxiang Leaf..."
As Qin Hao listed out a plethora of herbs, Chu Touzai was beyond surprised, "Brother, your procurement list is staggering!"
