Chapter 222 - Addition of Regulations
He hesitated and followed Leah into the new store. She didn't understand what Leah meant by suddenly saying this. They don't have extra money on them, how can they get that tag that costs as much as one gold coin? No matter who trades it, it is obvious that they will not give such a big concession!
As soon as I entered the store, the store reacted quickly.
"Are you here to buy a brand?" the shopkeeper greeted when he saw a student or attendant from the academy entering. As one of the five stores, he also understands what the students are doing at this time.
However, the girl seemed to answer the question and said, "Shopkeeper, you have signed some agreements with our mentor, right?"
Although this was not a purchase brand, her first sentence also shocked the shopkeeper's expression. What is the purpose of this girl's visit? Does this agreement refer to the brand? Why do you bring this up at such a time? The shopkeeper said in confusion, "Aren't you here to buy brands or rent goods?"
The shopkeeper may have to drive people away in the next sentence.
It's just that the girl didn't have any intention of retreating, she said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Shopkeeper, don't change the topic." I have a rough idea of the agreement you signed with our mentor. I also know that you need this brand to get enough profits. ”
When the girl said this, the shopkeeper immediately understood that it was a student who came to bargain. Of course, the squire in front of him was obviously more sensible than the teams that came before, and knew that he would first get enough information, and then use what he got to bargain, rather than just proposing unreasonable price reduction conditions.
Only when both parties have obtained benefits, will they make a deal! It is only a one-sided loss or gain, and it is impossible to reach a transaction that both parties agree to!
Looking at the two of them, the shopkeeper touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Since you know the content of the agreement, then I will reduce the price of the brand to ninety silver coins for you." As you should know, I have to sign some cumbersome rules with your mentor when I do business. For example, the occupation of space, time, and manpower, you can't say that I am just going through the motions, and it is convenient, right?"
"Shopkeeper, that's the case, but ninety silver coins aren't the value of the brand itself, right?" asked Leah, gesturing to the shops behind her. She had heard the price of eighty silver coins before. The same product will naturally not be higher than this price.
"Ahem. The shopkeeper muttered to himself in his heart, it seems that this girl is quite clever, and she doesn't take the road with the information, she just buys the brand and leaves. Instead, I went to one location to inquire about the price and get the lowest price, so that I could lower the price for other brands in the store.
But the shopkeeper was not so easy to fool the past, he reined in his high-pitched tone, and said in a more compromised voice: "Then you can quote the right price." If I think it's good, I'll sell it to you directly!Never raise the price again!" The store didn't directly answer the second price, but gave the initiative back.
The girl thought for a while, and then said, "Shopkeeper, I'm not talking about the real price of this brand, it's actually just a piece of wood, and it's not worth much." It's mainly about helping us get through the challenge. ”
"Moreover, I am also very clear about the content of the agreement, knowing that when our mentor gives you the brand, the specific content of the agreement is: the price at which the brand is sold will give you a proportional profit. So, if you actually sell at a low price, you won't lose anything. Shopkeeper, do you think so?"
Lili swallowed on the side. Leah was with both of her, and there was no contact with the Peace Mentor. Naturally, they will not know the details of the mentor's challenge. How could she be so sure of the contract, and even the contents of it?
Worried that the matter would be revealed, Lili looked up cautiously and looked at the store. I saw the shocked expression on his face.
"How do you know?" the shopkeeper's words made Lili also look at the girl next to her in disbelief.
Faced with the store's somewhat surprised words, Leah said very easily: "I know that the content of the agreement is very simple, because when you are selling, you just want to sell the brand, and you don't think about another problem. ”
"What's the problem?" the shopkeeper frowned. The instructor promised that the content of the agreement would not be known to the students. And at the moment, this problem is actually on your own side?
"Isn't it true that this shop in front of you is slashing the price by one silver coin every five minutes?" Leah continued, "That is, in the rules of our challenge, only one team is required to reach the stone monument position, and the entire challenge will be won!"
"So, how about that?" said the shopkeeper in a fierce tone. Contrary to the girl's train of thought. Because it only takes one team to reach the Monument, the challenge can be over. That first sign is the highest position they can accept!
That is to say, only the first brand is the most valuable and can bring the most profits!
"I think you should think that many students will basically make two choices, the first is to spend a huge amount of money directly to buy a brand, and the other is to go to the latter two places to get the brand, come back here to buy it, and then rush to the location of the stele. ”
"Yes, and then?" replied the shopkeeper with a nod. No matter how you look at it, it is the first brand, to be precise, the first brands can get the highest profits! and the subsequent brands are obviously inferior and can only be sold at a low price.
"Didn't the first batch of students buy the brand, and they entered the last two places along with the other students?" Leah seemed to think from the perspective of the store, "Store, although you want to get the most benefit from the brand." However, you also have to know that as long as one person cracks the sign in this way, then the subsequent teams will immediately make a decision and make a corresponding choice! This scope of influence is actually very large, more than one team, and even affects the entire class!"
"Hmm......" the shopkeeper seemed to think she had a point. The previous teams also entered the exchange area together in a short period of time.
What the girl said was true.
The later the brand goes, the more the price will be lowered, because the challenge is almost over!, however, what the store didn't anticipate before was the coins that each team carried, and whether the messages between the teams were exchanged.
If the teams that buy the brand and start again, they will have already completed the challenge!
"That's right! A lower price will make them compete to buy, and if they don't have the right price, they won't buy it even if we force it. The shopkeeper seemed to understand the girl's thoughts, and said, "I'll sell you fifty silver coins!" But if you want to do something for me, go and tell the other students to come and buy it from me!"
The girl's words just now obviously mentioned the shopkeeper. He immediately added: "What's more, I can use the money from the academy to pay here, as long as I sign my name and put in the spirit and demon pattern! I don't have to pay a penny! If I get crystals or other precious materials in the future, I can also use them as coins to offset the debt!"
The girl finally spoke, but she still sighed, "Shopkeeper, although you were very close to me in the end, you still didn't understand what I said. Do you know what the mentor gave you the sign, and why I told you about it, and why I asked you if I found any problems?"
"Let's earn coins and profit ourselves?" said the shopkeeper of the conjecture of the mentor's intentions.
"You're wrong!" Leah looked at the shopkeeper's surprised and confused expression with pity, and said, "Are the tutors all selfish learners who only want to earn student coins?
Leah took three steps forward with her backhand, and said with an annoyed expression: "Shopkeeper, if you have to let me point out the intention, then I'll tell you!"
The girl's imposing words made the shopkeeper suddenly stunned, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the girl's follow-up words. Could it be that he was thinking in the wrong way? What was he missing? And why was this girl angry? What did he do wrong?
"After being here for so long, you should also understand that students come here to train for themselves. There are inherent restrictions on the coins you can carry. Even the crystals and crystals that need to be used in the training camp are directly supported by the academy and are encouraged to be rented, and large amounts of coins will be carried there?"
"Since the student can't get the money, why does the tutor use such an inappropriate method to test the student?" said the shopkeeper hesitantly. This girl's words are a bit strange, but is this also a problem? Isn't this a problem with the academy that restricts the carrying of coins, and the mentor who designed the rules for this challenge?
"Shopkeeper, he's not just testing the students, he's also testing you!"
Suddenly, the shopkeeper froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.
Testing him? Actually testing him? Why didn't he think of it!
Yes, how can those extremely capable teachers only think about one aspect!
The girl calmed down and explained calmly: "Our instructor assigned the signs, and instead of sending twenty signs to the twenty stores, we sent them to the five selected stores. You know that, right?"
Leah sighed and said, "These five stores relied on their own original efforts, as well as the guarantee of product quality, and insisted that the conditions for the needs of learners and students were met, so that the tutors were selected in this challenge. ”
"So! In this appropriate opportunity to challenge, the tutor hopes to use the competition between the two classes of students to test whether the store he has confirmed is worthy of recommending him to the academy! Of course, in order to ensure the fairness of the insider, the students were not informed by the tutor that this additional test will be completed by them!"
"You...... You mean......" The shopkeeper's face was a little pale, and his speech was a little unclear. He has realized that there is a big problem, and this is about his own interests in the future, not the current small amount of money!
"Yes, that's the class of the challenge, and it will be the recommended students!When they complete the challenge and show the instructor the process of acquisition, or the hardships in the process, the mentor will also draw a final end to you!" the girl exhaled.
The shopkeeper's mind was extremely confused, if this was the case, if he had received this recommendation from his mentor, then he would have rented more often than the surrounding shops, and he would have a firm foothold! It would not be as deserted as it is now! After all, although there are few people who come to the shop in Songrong Village, there are still a few idle people every day. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to drive it a long time ago.
"After the challenge, if the tutor who understands the student's situation is not a friendly person, then the tutor's impression will be greatly reduced. Wonder if you're only looking at the surface and consider whether to make the necessary decisions. ”
"Well, I'm done, it's time to go. What you want to do is none of my business, if you don't believe it, it's all the gibberish of a little squire. The girl stood on tiptoe and tried to pat the shopkeeper on the shoulder, but when she found that she couldn't reach it, she turned around and patted him on the arm.
Immediately, she slowly walked out of the store.
Before she could walk out of the shop, the shopkeeper shouted from behind, "Wait!"
However, at his words, the girl still did not turn around, but quickened her pace.
The shopkeeper hurriedly took out the sign from the counter behind him, quickly caught up with the two, and said, "It's true that I missed the thought." Thank you for the reminder! You are also optimistic about me, so you said this to me, right?"
The reason for his decision is very simple, there is a world of difference between the current part of the coin distribution and the steady stream of customers in the future!
That choice was the right one, more promising, no doubt about it!
Seeing the sign in his hand, Leah smiled: "Sure enough, you are different from the others." He's a nice guy. ”
Leah took the sign and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "I will talk to the other members of my team about your situation here, the shop family is very good, and the challenge is also successful." Of course, my final reminder is that the exchange is also part of the challenge that students have been challenged for. Although the store understands the reason, you also understand that you can't give the sign to them too easily. Otherwise, the guru will think that you are doing it on purpose. ”
Hearing her words, the shopkeeper could only nod with a wry smile. As for what to do inside, he couldn't have asked the girl what she thought, she had already said enough, and she didn't stop in the slightest to tell him more about the insider's questions.
Seeing the two girls walking out of the store, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. It's a shame that he didn't look down on the two girls because they were attendants, or kicked them out with insulting words, otherwise he would have lost a very important link.
I don't know if the other stores understand what this challenge means to them.
……
Walking on the road, Lili still looked at the sign in Leah's hand as if she was distracted. She never thought that with the two of them, she would wander around three stores in the exchange, and she would actually get the brand without spending a single coin! At the beginning, she also thought that the brand would have to pay an unacceptable price to buy the brand!
In order to solve the doubts in her heart, she asked, "Leah, while the tutor is challenging the two classes, is he also testing these five stores?"
"Huh, you ask about this, I don't know. Leah replied dryly.
"Well, you really don't know, and how did you tell the agreement between the mentor and the shopkeeper......" asked Lilian. Isn't this Leah's answer too foolish, and what the store said in the middle seems to be the same as the truth, and finally said that she actually didn't know?
Leah thought for a moment and said, "I guessed. The lazy mentor has a certain agreement with the exchange, which was guessed from the first store. And the relevant content of the agreement, as well as the two people's thoughts on the store, is actually based on the first store and the second store. ”
"Hey!" she clearly didn't believe it. "Then, what if the shopkeeper doesn't agree with you halfway?" In the final analysis, this is also Leah's own guess and calculation, which is not completely accurate. She herself knows that it is not written in black and white, so why did she say what she was thinking to the store so decisively?
"Let's try again at the next store. ”
