As soon as these words were spoken, the chubby shop owner froze for a moment.
The next second!
His eyes widened!
His face stiffened.
Beads of cold sweat covered his forehead.
He wiped the sweat with his sleeve, staring cautiously, stammering, "Y-y-young lady, how m-m-m-much did you say?"
"Fifty thousand!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty held up five fingers.
"Oh my god! Fifty, fifty thousand!!!!?"
The chubby shop owner shivered all over, stumbling back two steps, feeling as if his future had turned dark.
"Boss? Boss? If you think fifty thousand isn't enough, I can offer more!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty's voice rang out again.
"F-fifty thousand isn't enough, I-I-I can add more..." the chubby shop owner mumbled in a daze.
"Sixty thousand! Boss, will you sell for sixty thousand?"
Chubby shop owner: "..."
"Sixty thousand not enough? Then... seventy thousand!"
Chubby shop owner: "..."
"Eighty thousand!"
Chubby shop owner: "..."
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty noticed the chubby shop owner's unusual behavior, frowning slightly, she asked.
"All day long hunting geese, only to be pecked by one, foolish, foolish, foolish... my eighty thousand ah~~" The chubby shop owner murmured to himself, full of regret.
"Hahahahaha, Old Wang, honestly, when it comes to business, I've never admired anyone, but today, I really have to hand it to you. A pile of junk collected from the countryside for three hundred bucks can actually sell for eighty thousand, tsk, impressive~~~" Vendor No. 1 said in a peculiar tone.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
The chubby shop owner's face suddenly turned dark.
"One hundred thousand! Boss, I'll offer one hundred thousand at most!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty suddenly said firmly.
The chubby shop owner's face grew even darker, almost like charcoal.
"Sigh~~~ Young lady, let me tell you, just now, Old Wang sold that bronze wine cup! It was just a minute or two ago!"
Vendor No. 1 squinted his eyes, held up two fingers, and continued, "Guess how much it sold for? Two thousand bucks! It sold for a full two thousand! An old item collected from the countryside for a few dozen bucks, selling for two thousand!"
The chubby shop owner's face was stiff.
"What?! It's sold!!?" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty was stunned.
"Young lady, wait a moment, I'll be right back!"
The chubby shop owner suddenly raised his head, with a dark face, said to the Little Red-Dressed Beauty, then turned and chased in the direction Bai Wu had left.
Just as he took a step, a commotion and noise erupted from the center of the free trading market in the distance.
"Three hundred thousand!!?"
"This young man's luck is incredible, Old Li is actually willing to pay three hundred thousand for this bronze wine cup!"
"Tsk~ Anything that catches Old Wang's eye must be a good item!"
"I heard this bronze wine cup was found at a stall in our free trading market, and it only cost two thousand!"
"What? It only cost two thousand bucks?"
"Hahaha, I wonder which stall it was found at, the owner must be regretting it now, right?"
"…"
The chatter came from afar.
"Yo! Old Wang, the bronze wine cup they said was bought for two thousand bucks, wasn't it the one you sold?" Vendor No. 1 shouted loudly in an exaggerated voice.
"Th-th-three hundred thousand..."
The chubby shop owner's whole body stiffened, his face ashen.
At this moment, another commotion arose from the center of the market.
Rustle
"Rejected! This young man rejected it!"
"But that's three hundred thousand!"
"This young man isn't wise, is he trying to ask for an exorbitant price?"
"My gosh! Three hundred and fifty thousand! Old Li actually raised the price!"
"Oh my god! Something bought for two thousand bucks can actually sell for three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"The person who sold it for two thousand must be heartbroken now!"
"Rejected again, rejected again!"
***
Listening to the commotion from afar, the chubby shop owner's face grew more and more grim.
It was like he had fallen and accidentally eaten a mouthful of dog poop, feeling utterly miserable!
"Tsk, rejected even at three hundred thousand!
Tsk, Old Wang, the bronze wine cup you sold for two thousand, Old Li is actually willing to pay three hundred and fifty thousand!
Tsk, Old Wang, you might have misjudged this time, not selling even at three hundred and fifty thousand!"
Vendor No. 1 kept lamenting in the chubby shop owner's ear.
Chubby shop owner: "..."
His intestines were turning green with regret!
"What a hassle!"
The Little Red-Dressed Beauty clenched her delicate fist, secretly spitting in disdain.
After pausing for two seconds, she walked straight towards the center.
The chubby shop owner hesitated for a moment, then followed.
In the center of the market, amidst the crowd.
"Four hundred thousand!"
An elderly man with kind eyes and gray hair held up four fingers, saying, "Young man, I'll offer four hundred thousand for your bronze wine cup!"
Immediately.
The onlookers erupted in another commotion.
"Not enough!"
Bai Wu shook his head.
Old Li frowned slightly, glanced at the bronze wine cup in Bai Wu's hands, thought for a few seconds, then said, "Young man, it seems you know the value of this cup, name your price!"
"Five hundred thousand!" Bai Wu continued, "Final offer!"
Rustle!
The crowd erupted in another uproar.
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Is he asking for the moon?"
"This young man really dares to say it!"
***
Facing the doubts coming from all directions, Bai Wu remained unmoved.
Because the success rate above the old man's head in front of him hadn't changed at all due to Bai Wu's sky-high price of five hundred thousand, it was still 100%!
Old Li gave Bai Wu a deep look and said, "Five hundred thousand, deal!"
The chubby shop owner's eyes rolled upwards.
