Chapter 10 Selling Pills
(I don't know why, when I finished picking the name after this chapter, I suddenly thought of a song, selling rice balls.) It can only be understood but not spoken. )
An old man with glasses at the front desk glanced at the "pill" handed in by Chu Chu, and his face turned black at that time.
Chu Chu was anxious to know the answer, and asked again, "Pill, do you want to accept it?"
The business of the exchange is always hot, although it has just opened, it has been busy, some people heard the conversation here, curiously stopped to watch, when they saw the self-proclaimed "pill" thing in Chu Chu's hand, they were so happy that they leaned forward and closed, and some people even sighed, "Ouch...... Whoa, ......" called.
Chu Chu suddenly felt a little weak, and slowly withdrew his hand.
The noise outside attracted the attention of the person in charge of the exchange, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a brocade dress walked over, and when he saw Chu Chu, he was stunned, and then quickly changed his smile, nodded and said: "It turned out to be Miss Chu Chu, why did you come here? ”
The middle-aged man obviously recognized Chu Chu's identity, but Chu Chu didn't know him, and his attitude was not bad, so he raised the retracted pill in his hand again, and asked, "This gentleman, hello, may I ask, do you buy this pill here?"
The middle-aged man was so shrewd, with his well-informed, he naturally saw that the black thing in Chu Chu's hand was not an elixir at all, but he still accompanied a smiling face and asked politely, "Of course, for the elixir, we can't ask for it, but this one in Miss Chu Chu's hand is ...... Seems to ......"
"I know, don't you just want to say that it doesn't seem to be an elixir, right?" Chu Chu looked at the middle-aged man and gave him the answer.
The middle-aged man laughed, "This ......"
Chu Chu said bluntly: "Sir, this is indeed not an elixir in my hand. It is a pill. ”
"Pills?" the middle-aged man was stunned, obviously he had never heard of this kind of statement.
Chu Chu saw that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he said angrily, "How about it, whether you accept it or not, if you don't accept it, I'll go to another house to ask." ”
There is more than one exchange in the city, the competition is very fierce, as long as it is a good thing, everyone is scrambling to compete for it, in addition, standing in front of him is the goddaughter of Mo Yan, the patriarch of the Connor family, and she can't afford to offend, the Connor family is also a big customer that the major exchanges are competing for.
The middle-aged man feels that his mouth is dry and his lips are dry, which is a sign of a dilemma. However, he is not an ordinary person, so he suddenly changed his words and said, "Miss Chu Chu, the stakes are very high, I can't be the master, please follow me upstairs, I will take you to see the elder adult, he will make a decision." ”
"Oh well. Chu Chu thought, since he came, he might as well meet him, anyway, with the mentality of giving it a try, even if the negotiation is not appropriate, it doesn't matter. So, I followed the middle-aged man upstairs.
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't take it seriously, just took it as a little girl's joke, and then dispersed.
On the second floor of the exchange, in a large house, there was an old man with gray hair, who saw the middle-aged man come in with Chu Chu and asked, "Ivan, what's the matter?"
"Good morning, Director. The middle-aged man greeted respectfully, then led Chu Chu to the front and introduced, "This is Chu Chu, the goddaughter of the Mo Yan patriarch." ”
The old man looked at Chu Chu kindly and said, "Miss Chu Chu, hello. ”
Chu Chu was flattered, the director of the exchange, his status was no less than that of his godfather Mo Yan, he actually took the initiative to greet him, and immediately said politely: "Mr. Director, hello." ”
"How is Mr. Mo Yan?" the old man asked.
"Father is well, thank you. ”
The old man put his mind at ease and asked, "Why are you here this time?"
"It's nothing, I'm just here to ask, do you accept pills here?" Chu Chu was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he changed the word pill to pill.
The old man had obviously never heard of pills, and asked, "Pills, what is it, can I take a look?"
Chu Chu was ridiculed twice just now, and his courage had faded by more than half, so he didn't take out the black pill medicine again for the first time, and now when he heard the old man take the initiative to ask, he hesitated, took it out, handed it over, and said, "No, this is it." ”
The old man frowned slightly, looked at the "pills" on the table, looked at them suspiciously, and after half a ring, he raised his head and asked, "How is the effect of the medicine?"
The old man deserved to be the director, and he did not directly refuse, although there was a worthless **** pill on the table in front of him.
Chu Chu hurriedly said, "Mr. Director, this is, this is," Suddenly, she thought of something, and she didn't know what the name of the black pill was.
"What is it?" asked the old man, puzzled.
"Yes...... It's ...... "Chu Chu is in a hurry," black jade intermittent ointment. ”
The old man looked at her for a while, and then looked down at the so-called black pill medicine whose name was outrageous and a little bluffing, "Black Jade Intermittent Cream." ”
After staring at it for a few seconds, the old man stretched out his hand, specifically stretched out the two fingers on his hand, carefully pinched the black pill with his fingernails, looked at it, hesitated to bring it close to his nose, inhaled it gently, found that it was tasteless, put it down, his face did not look as good as when he first met, but he was still kind, raised his head and asked, "Miss Chu Chu, can you explain its effect in detail?"
Chu Chu nodded and said, "Black Jade Intermittent Balm, black, irregular pill-like, efficacy, washing tendons and marrow, can effectively eliminate impurities in the body of quasi-knight-level cultivators. ”
The old man looked at Chu Chu suspiciously, and then at the black pill medicine, if it was really like what she said, it was definitely a priceless treasure, if not, then ...... Then, the consequences are unimaginable.
Seeing that the old man was hesitant, Chu Chu picked up the black pill on the table and said politely, "Mr. Director, I'm sorry to disturb you, goodbye." ”
Watching Chu Chu turn around and leave, just as she was about to sell the door, "Wait." The old man suddenly made a bold decision, although he asked himself to be cautious all his life, especially since he became the director of the exchange, he was walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss, and was cautious, but today, he decided to go crazy, "people are not frivolous teenagers", and sometimes, the elderly also need to be crazy occasionally.
Chu Chu stopped, turned around, and looked at the old man.
The old man paused and said, "Miss Chu Chu, you know, for our exchange, what we need to do is to control the risk to the minimum, and the pill you are holding in your hand has never appeared, and we can't reasonably characterize and price it." He thought for a moment and then said, "I can't quote you directly, but I can provide you with a platform." ”
Chu Chu asked curiously, "What platform?" ”
"Auction. ”
Chu Chu knows the rules of the auction, as long as any item is on the auction table, there is no upper limit, and it belongs to the one with the highest price. There are pros and cons to doing this, the price of an item that is familiar to everyone is often higher, but for something unfamiliar, sometimes it may fetch a sky-high price, and sometimes, it may be worthless.
"However, auctions are risky, so you need to be cautious in your decision. In line with the business philosophy of Tong Suo, the old man first informed Chu Chu of the drawbacks.
Chu Chu counted for a moment in his heart, gritted his teeth, "Okay." ”
The old man was also happy, just now it was just a compromise method, not to offend the Connor family, but also not to damage the reputation of himself and the exchange, listening to Chu Chu's promise, he professionally informed, "Miss Chu Chu, you know the rules of the auction, the fee, ten percent of the transaction price as a commission." ”
Chu Chu said without hesitation, "Okay, please arrange it as soon as possible." ”
"Miss Chu Chu is really a nobleman, it's better to be in time than to be in time, there is just an auction today. The middle-aged man who had been silent on the side interjected.
The old man asked, "Miss Chu Chu, look, do you want to hold an auction today, or do you want to choose another day?"
Chu Chu was anxious, afraid of long nights and dreams, and said with certainty, "Just today." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you. The old man looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Ivan, you help Miss Chu Chu go through the relevant procedures, and then take her to the VIP area to wait." ”
The middle-aged man saluted respectfully, then made a gesture of please to Chu Chu, and said, "Miss Chu Chu, please." ”
Chu Chu said a blessing to the elder and walked out with the middle-aged man.
When the old man saw them go out, he also got up, went out the door, and walked towards the third floor.
The efficiency of the exchange is very high, Chu Chu waited for less than ten minutes, and the middle-aged man had already completed all the formalities, and said: "Miss Chu Chu, it's done, please follow me to the auction hall on the third floor, the auction will start later." ”
"Thank you. ”
"You're welcome. ”
On the third floor, there is a large hall, which is extremely luxurious. Above is a bright platform, below are several rows of large seats, above the seats, is a row of attics, decorated into a luxurious seat, there are comfortable sofas in it, in the middle is a coffee table, on which are placed exquisite tea sets, precious drinks and teas are readily available, this is the VIP area.
There are constantly people seated in the hall, but they are not noisy, and it is obvious that the quality of the people who come in here is not low. The middle-aged man led Chu Chu straight up to the second-floor pavilion, entered a medium-sized private room and sat down, and then respectfully withdrew.
Chu Chu sat on the comfortable sofa, but she was restless, like sitting on pins and needles, and she was a little nervous.
In a slightly larger lattice not far away, there was the elder man sitting impressively, and the middle-aged man walked into it quickly, and said respectfully, "Director, everything has been arranged." ”
The old man nodded, "Very well, Ivan, you can also come and sit down and have a look together." ”
The middle-aged man knew that what the old man said was referring to the black jade intermittent ointment brought by Chu Chu, and he really wanted to take a good look at what kind of uproar the black thing like animal poop could cause.
Ivan is the deputy director, and he has been in this position for almost ten years.
A deputy director who doesn't want to be a director is not a good deputy director. Ivan's idea of becoming the director is no longer a day or two, but the old man has been sitting in that position for almost twenty years, and looking at his physical condition, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to persist for another twenty years, as long as there is no particularly major fault, he will definitely not be able to get down.
Ivan does things in a hidden way, making small movements for the old man behind his back, but he is always respectful. In the morning, he was really stumped by Chu Chu, and he was in a dilemma, so the evil was born on the side of the guts, and the trouble was kicked to the director, but he never thought about it, but the director chose a compromise method and put himself in an invincible position that could advance and retreat.
Ivan should actually learn how to lift the old man's weights, but unfortunately he didn't, he chose to watch the joke, expecting an uproar, and it was best to make the old guy ruined.
