Chapter 133: Bargaining skills

After about a few minutes, Jia Sidao kept playing with several different small stones on the street stall. It seemed that he had picked up this piece, put it down, picked up that piece, and put it in his hand for a few times, and then it was put down again...

Even Wang Biao, who came with Jia Sidao, felt a little bored and wanted to leave. Jia Sidao took out three of the few small stones he had seen, piled them together, and asked the seller: "What's the price of these three stones?" The meaning of this statement is naturally that Jia Sidao wanted to take action.

The seller is a middle-aged man. Maybe no one has asked for the price for a long time. The young men next to him just looked at the child-shaped stone, but they didn't bargain, and they didn't have any smiles for a while. They had long stared at Jia Sidao. Now, when they heard Jia Sidao's asking for the price, a smile naturally spread on their faces and said, "This little brother, you have a good eye. The quality of these stones is good, and the price is not low."

Jia Sidao was annoyed, saying that there was no businessman, and it was true. As for the three he chose, it was really ordinary in terms of appearance, only one of them looked a little famous. I am afraid the buyer wanted to kill a lot, right? He raised his eyes and looked at the seller slightly. At this moment, he might also realize that the words just now were biased, and his face turned slightly red.

But after the other party looked at Jia Sidao, he remained silent again, as if he had accurately grasped the stones that Jia Sidao had liked and wanted to take them down, and was waiting for Jia Sidao to continue asking for the price.

Jia Sidao naturally refused to refuse and asked, "It costs about how much. If it is appropriate, I will want it."

"Three thousand yuan." The seller said without blushing.

"Just these three broken stones, the price is 3,000?" Jia Sidao had not yet refused. Wang Biao was a little embarrassed and said, "Your price is too dark. Do you really treat us as a sucker?"

"This...how can it be? The three stones this little brother picked are indeed very difficult treasures. I'm afraid the little brother knows the mystery inside, right?" The seller said, and looked at Jia Sidao and said, "If it is other stones, it's just two or three hundred yuan, cheap, and dozens of yuan." Moreover, the seller seemed to be trying to make Jia Sidao and Wang Biao believe what he said, and he specially picked a small stone from the street stall and said, "Hey, this one is fifty yuan. If you want it, you can take it."

As a result, Wang Biao couldn't speak nonsense anymore, so he could only glar at the other party with his eyes.

There is no way, the transactions in the black market are like this, and they offer prices everywhere and pay back the money. As long as the seller is caught by the seller, you like this thing, you will definitely be slaughtered. Anyway, these people are used to doing such transactions. Their ability to observe words and expressions is really not something that ordinary people can achieve.

"What about this stone?" Jia Sidao was not as anxious as Wang Biao. He ignored the three stones he had found before, and turned from the street stall, picked up another stone and asked, "Isn't this one cost another thousand yuan?"

"Uh, this, this is five hundred yuan." Looking at Jia Sidao's casual behavior, the seller didn't know for a moment what Jia Sidao wanted. He wanted to say a thousand yuan in his heart, but he was embarrassed and unable to speak. Otherwise, wouldn't this be slapping himself in the face?

"Oh, this one costs five hundred." Jia Sidao responded, then put down the thing, then picked up another piece and asked, "What about this?"

"I said, "Brother, which one do you want? You shouldn't come to spend my time on purpose?" The seller couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help asking anxiously. It caused Wang Biao next to him to smile, patted Jia Sidao's shoulder, and said, "Xiao Jia, I really didn't see that there is you."

As he said that, he gave his thumbs up, and then he followed Jia Sidao's appearance, picked up a stone from the street stall and asked, "Boss, is this stone saying it's too little?"

The seller threw a helpless look at him and stopped answering. Seeing Jia Sidao and Wang Biao, he actually laughed happily, and muttered angrily: "What, if you don't buy it, don't make trouble here."

Although the sound is light, it can be heard by the few people next to you.

"Haha, boss, you're wrong. I sincerely want to buy a few stones to go back." Jia Sidao replied, "But the price of the stones here is too high, I can't afford them. I can only pick a few cheaper ones. By the way, it's like this stone. Look, how much is it worth?"

While talking, Jia Sidao seemed to randomly pick up a stone from the street stall. After such a mess here, the young people who were originally surrounded by him naturally joined in the fun and watched them all.

The seller's face couldn't help but look a little ugly. He looked at the small stone in Jia Sidao's hand, and didn't know whether Jia Sidao really wanted it or was deliberately looking for trouble. He said angrily: "This stone is only 200 yuan, which is cheap enough, right? If you don't want it, don't make trouble here."

After saying this, Jia Sidao and the others couldn't help but feel happy. The young people next to them were yelling: "Boss, two hundred small stones are no longer cheap." "That's right, no one picked up such small stones even if they were thrown on the ground."...

The middle-aged seller had no choice but to turn his head away and ignore it. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that Jia Sidao shouldn't have paid the stone for two hundred yuan, but he was just making trouble on purpose.

Jia Sidao knew it and couldn't help but ask again: "Boss, this stone is two hundred yuan, isn't it too expensive?"

When the seller heard this, he was happy. This was the first time Jia Sidao wanted to bargain. He couldn't help but say politely: "It's cheap enough. Isn't the few dollars you picked before still worth 1,000 yuan?" The meaning of the words was naturally to remind Jia Sidao that compared to the stones worth 1,000 yuan, these two hundred yuan are naturally cheap.

"I want it for one hundred yuan." Jia Sidao bargained, "Look, this stone is not as beautiful as the three before."

"Okay, if you sincerely want it, it will cost 180 yuan. You can take it." The middle-aged seller said, "Or, if you really want to be cheap, then choose this fifty yuan." As he said that, he pointed to the stone that had previously paid.

"I think this is how it is. I finally came to the ghost market and bought something back, which can be regarded as a souvenir. It's better to give one by one, 150 yuan. What do you think?" Jia Sidao continued to bargain. Wang Biao next to him naturally touched Jia Sidao, as if muttering: "Just this broken stone, it's not worth spending more than 100 yuan. If you really want to keep a souvenir, that's not easy? Just pick up a piece on the roadside......"

"Okay, one hundred and five, just one hundred and five." The seller glanced at Jia Sidao and Wang Biao, and sang and agreed there, and then simply agreed. At this moment, after Jia Sidao paid the money, the seller was not disappointed, but was a little happy. It seems that the purchase price of this batch of stones will probably not exceed the price of 100 yuan per piece, right?

After leaving the stall, Wang Biao looked at Jia Sidao's eyes and said curiously, "Xiao Jia, you are quite smart when you bargain. Of course, you should know that the stall owner wholesales these stones must be only a few dollars, and at most a few dozen dollars. Why did you spend more than 100 yuan? Moreover, I really can't see anything special about this stone, brother."

"Haha, Brother Wang, if you just take a look at this stone, it will naturally have no shape. However, I just think it's easier to hold it in my hand. Anyway, it's just a small amount of money. We've been shopping early in the morning. Isn't it a fun to tease the middle-aged boss?" As he said that, Jia Sidao still played with the stone in his hand.

Look at the shape and size of this stone, it is indeed very convenient to hold it in your hand. The whole stone is a bit narrow and long, three or four fingers thick, one end is slightly larger, about 10 cm in length, and the skin feels a little smooth and delicate. The only surprising thing is the color. On the small end, there seems to be some blue marks, like a green pine tree. There are also dark brown parts under the pine, shaped like a table stone. It is somewhat elegant.

Otherwise, at first glance, it would be just an ordinary stone.

After hearing Jia Sidao's words, Wang Biao smiled brightly. Speaking of which, this one of the hundred yuan is really nothing in the eyes of the two of them. However, when it comes to business transactions, even if Wang Biao takes tens of millions of dollars when he sees good jade materials, he will not frown. That's because Wang Biao thinks that it is worth it. If he doesn't like it, even if Wang Biao holds hundreds of dollars in his hand, it will be difficult to cut out hundreds of dollars!

On the contrary, Wang Biao looked at Jia Sidao's falsehood and reality in his bargaining.

Looking back now, the three stones that Jia Sidao had begun to ask about the price in the first step was undoubtedly a cover. The continuous conversion of the purchase targets later was nothing more than diverting the seller's attention and following his own thinking. What Jia Sidao really wanted was definitely the one in his hand now.

As for the other party's bid for 200 yuan, Jia Sidao also has to bargain hard. That is the rule of the antique company. No matter how cheap the other party's things are, you have to bargain. To put it nicely, it is to give the other party a psychological comfort. After all, if someone offers 200 yuan, if you directly ask for it, the other party will naturally feel that you have lost money.

But if you are petty and repeatedly bargain, then after a difficult "tug-of-war", even if the price drops, the seller will feel that he has made a small profit with his own efforts. The difference can only be slowly experienced. For example, those who often bid tens of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan but do not bargain at all, and think that they are rich, if they are not familiar, others will definitely think you are a kid.

In addition, to put it more or less nicely, it is to avoid unnecessary trouble. Such constant bargaining also makes the other party constantly affirm the price he has paid.

Otherwise, if someone says 200 yuan, you will ask for it directly. If the other party feels that it is a loss, it is a 200 yuan or something. At that time, the buyer will suffer. After all, no one has any regulations. In the domestic market, you must not use US dollars or euros to sell things, right?

Afterwards, the two continued to stroll in the ghost market. Occasionally, they could learn a lot from what experts bargained in front of the stalls. Especially Jia Sidao, although he did play pretty well just now, and bought the stone he liked at a relatively low price. However, when the day was dawn and gambling on stones, the subsequent bargaining was not missing at all. The knowledge here became more and more exciting.

Even Wang Biao, the big boss, sometimes, listened to other jade merchants' bargaining methods, his face was full of smiles. It was just like this when he lived and learned.

Until the sky got darker and the stall owners who set up stalls stopped work one after another, and whether the customers or people on the streets began to disperse, Jia Sidao and Wang Biao looked at each other, and naturally they went home.

There was nothing good about the two of them. While it was still early, after eating something on the roadside, they went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and after dawn, they rushed from the hotel to the gambling stone market. Because in the ghost market, both of them followed the principle of seeing more and buying less, but there was no other gain except the small stone collected by Jia Sidao.

Of course, Wang Biao’s goal is jadeite material. For the ghost market, he has no intention of spending much money. Moreover, there are many finished jade products in the ghost market. This is why Wang Biao, even if the things are right, there is not much profit. Instead, it is better to bet on stones directly. As long as you develop a good texture, water head and color, you can often make all your expenses and even get rich instantly.

Such stimulation, even a big boss with a net worth of over 100 million cannot withstand the temptation. Especially those who run the jade business, it seems that no one is fascinated by gambling stones.

When the two of them visited Yushi Street again, because it was still early and the traffic was not too large, they were not in a hurry to take action. Instead, they looked at each household one by one and saw what kind of jadeite materials they had so that they could have a clear idea. However, what made Jia Sidao frowned a little, as we know in the Internet information, compared with the gambling stone market in Yunnan, most of the jadeite rough stones in Pingzhou have opened windows.
