The guy was very eloquent. He followed Ma Xiaoyao like bah, bah, bah, bah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Ma Xiaoyao stopped and pointed at a jade pendant the size of a child's palm: "How do you sell this thing?"
The clerk glanced at it and suddenly smiled: "Oh, sir, you must be discerning. This jade pendant is the treasure of our store! It is made of top-grade Hetian jade and was carved by famous artists. Oh, it also has a
The name is Fengyun Pei. If you take this out, it will definitely be more honorable..."
"How much is it?" Ma Xiaoyao asked calmly.
"Well... the price is thirty-eight thousand taels of silver... If the customer really wants it, I can give you a discount..." the clerk said.
Thirty-eight thousand taels of silver? The corners of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth raised slightly, this guy really dared to ask for it!
"Sir, are you really interested in this jade pendant? How about I call the shopkeeper out and you talk to him in person?" the clerk asked tentatively. If he could sell the jade pendant, he could get a huge sum of money.
Fei's bonus, that's why this guy is so enthusiastic.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Okay, you go call the shopkeeper."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'm going to call the shopkeeper!" The waiter turned around and ran towards the backyard, and disappeared in an instant.
Ma Xiaoyao stood beside the shelf with his hands folded, looking at the jade pendant on it and thinking secretly. Such an ordinary jade pendant sold for thirty-eight thousand taels. Wouldn't the jade pendant in his arms be more valuable? There are jade pendants placed on the shelf.
The size of a baby's small hand, the shape is ordinary, with a few small flowers carved on it. It is far worse than the jade pendant in Ma Xiaoyao's arms. Of course, the jade pendants on the shelves are real, and the jade pendants in Ma Xiaoyao's arms are fake.
.
"My guest, do you want to buy this jade pendant?" A middle-aged man wearing a satin gown came from the backyard, followed by the clerk from before.
"This is the shopkeeper of our shop!" the clerk introduced.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded towards the middle-aged man: "Hello, shopkeeper, I'm here...not to buy anything..."
"Don't want to buy anything?" The middle-aged man's face suddenly darkened. He turned around and glared at the clerk: "Didn't you say he wanted to buy that jade pendant!"
"Yes...he...that's what he said just now..." The waiter said with a pale face: "Who knew he...he actually changed his mind..."
"Brother, I'm afraid you have misunderstood." Ma Xiaoyao smiled faintly: "I just asked casually and did not say that I must buy this jade pendant. It was you who decided to invite the shopkeeper out..."
"Call me again after you understand the situation!" The middle-aged man said and left.
"Shopkeeper, please stay!" Ma Xiaoyao shouted.
"What? Do you have anything else to do?" the middle-aged man asked with a frown. When he learned that Ma Xiaoyao was not here to buy anything, the middle-aged man immediately lost interest.
"I want to ask the shopkeeper, do you accept anything here?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Something? What thing?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.
"Jade." Ma Xiaoyao said two words: "A very precious jade."
"Oh..." The middle-aged man became interested: "Take it out and let me take a look. If it is good, I can accept it."
Ma Xiaoyao didn't show any pretense, and took out a small exquisite box from his arms. Under the gaze of the middle-aged man, Ma Xiaoyao slowly opened the lid of the box, and a dazzling green light suddenly came out from the box...
"This is..." The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened: "What a beautiful jade pendant... Can I take a closer look?" At this time, the middle-aged man's tone became more polite.
"Of course." Ma Xiaoyao handed the box to the middle-aged man generously.
The middle-aged man carefully took out the jade pendant, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. While looking at it, he kept praising: "Good stuff... really good stuff... It looks like it should be made of top-grade Hetian jade..."
The carving is exquisite, and the most valuable thing is that it is so big. There is a dragon and a phoenix carved on the front, and a landscape on the back... Hey, there is something inside the jade pendant..." The middle-aged man looked closer to the light and was shocked.
He exhaled: "There is actually a little dragon and a little phoenix inside, and they can also roam around... treasures, peerless treasures!"
When he first took out the jade pendant, Ma Xiaoyao was a little worried, fearing that the middle-aged man would see the flaw, but after seeing the middle-aged man's amazed expression, Ma Xiaoyao immediately felt relieved. It seemed that the shopkeeper Mi Jiu did not lie to him.
.
"Shopkeeper, how do you like this thing of mine?" Ma Xiaoyao asked with a smile.
"Good! Good! Great! It's simply the best!" The middle-aged man praised loudly: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such exquisite jade. What a good thing! What a good thing!"
"Then will you accept it?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Take it! Of course I will accept such a good thing!" The middle-aged man nodded without hesitation: "May I ask, how did you get this thing?"
"It's a family heirloom." Ma Xiaoyao replied casually: "If it weren't for money, I wouldn't sell it."
"Well..." the middle-aged man touched his beard: "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "How much is the shopkeeper willing to pay?"
"This..." The middle-aged man nodded secretly. The guy in front of him was quite smart and refused to bid easily. He asked me to bid first, so that he could find out my trump card... Hum, in that case, then I
I’ll give you a low price and see how you take the offer. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man stretched out five fingers: “Fifty thousand taels of silver...how about that?”
"You're kidding!" Ma Xiaoyao reached out and grabbed the jade pendant, pretending to leave: "I only paid 50,000 taels of silver for such a good thing, and you're just sending me away like a beggar!"
"Hey, hey, hey... stay, my guest, please stay." The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped Ma Xiaoyao: "It's easy to negotiate, it's easy to negotiate... Since you don't like 50,000 taels of silver, then you can make an offer.
.”
Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "I won't bullshit you anymore, one price! One million taels of silver!"
"How much... how much?" The middle-aged man almost bit his tongue: "One million taels of silver? You... you are a bit too high... This jade pendant is good, but it is not worth one million taels.
ah……"
"It's just one million taels. If you agree, we will trade now. If you don't agree, then I will find someone else!" Ma Xiaoyao said.
"In this case, I will give you three hundred thousand taels, which is the highest price I can offer. If you agree, I will get the banknote for you now..." The middle-aged man said: "If you can't accept it, just go
If you go to other places, I can guarantee you that no one will bid higher than me..."
"I don't believe it! No one wants such a good thing?" Ma Xiaoyao left angrily after saying a few words.
The middle-aged man chased Ma Xiaoyao out and shouted at Ma Xiaoyao's back: "I'll be waiting for you at any time!"
"Shopkeeper, is that jade pendant really so good?" the waiter asked cautiously.
"Of course! Otherwise, I would be so interested?" The middle-aged man sighed: "It's a pity that guy's price is too high... Just wait and see, other shops will definitely not bid too high, at least not too high.
If you pass me, I can guarantee that that guy will come back in the end..."
"When he comes back, we will take the opportunity to lower the price!" said the waiter.
"Let's talk about it then." The middle-aged man licked his dry lips: "The most important thing is to find a way to get that jade pendant...it's so beautiful...it's so beautiful..."
…
Ma Xiaoyao left on purpose. Even if the other party really offered one million taels of silver, he would still find other excuses to leave.
Next, he visited several shops. When he took out the jade pendant, the shopkeepers of these shops expressed their intention to buy it, and the bids were quite high, but Ma Xiaoyao did not agree.
After dark, Ma Xiaoyao took off his disguise and boldly returned to the inn.
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyao left the inn, found a deserted alley to put on makeup, and then continued shopping in shops with the jade pendant...
Because of what Ma Xiaoyao did, many people knew that Ma Xiaoyao had a top-grade jade pendant in his hand. This news came from a shop, and then spread more and more widely, and finally reached the ears of Young Master Long.
Young Master Long loved to collect jade articles. Hearing that someone had a top-quality jade pendant, Young Master Long was immediately tempted and sent a large number of his men to find Ma Xiaoyao's whereabouts.
Ma Xiaoyao had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, so Master Long’s men easily found Ma Xiaoyao...
In a luxuriously decorated villa.
Ma Xiaoyao looked at Young Master Long who was sitting on a chair drinking tea with an ugly face: "What do you want to do?"
"I heard that you have a top-quality jade pendant in your hand?" Master Long asked calmly.
"Yes, I have a jade pendant, what's wrong!" Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"Take it out and let me have a look!" Young Master Long raised his eyebrows: "If it's in good condition, I'll buy it!"
"Who are you! Why should I show it to you!" Ma Xiaoyao said angrily.
"Bold!" A bitch jumped out, pointed at Ma Xiaoyao and yelled: "This is Young Master Long. Do you know who Young Master Long's father is? Tell me and scare you to death! Our Young Master Long's father is Mr. Hou.
!”
"The son of Lord Marquis!" Ma Xiaoyao was startled: "Oh... Mr. Long, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't see Mount Tai, I'm really sorry..."
Young Master Long waved his hand magnanimously: "Ignorance is not a crime... I won't argue with you. So, take out the jade pendant and let me see if it is really as high-quality as the rumors say."
"Yes, yes..." Ever since he learned that Young Master Long was the son of Lord Hou, Ma Xiaoyao became extremely respectful (actually it was all pretending). Ma Xiaoyao took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Young Master Long.
"What a good thing!" Young Master Long took a fancy to this jade pendant at a glance, holding it in his hand and stroking it over and over: "Okay, okay! It is indeed the best! Not bad! Very good! I want this jade pendant! You
