Chapter 208: No treachery, no business
Li Xuan spent a lot of money and purchased a large number of flowers, which not only caused the madness of the Victoria Park Flower Market, but also many vendors in other flower markets came to invite Li Xuan to buy flowers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Xuan did not refuse to come, and after visiting the Victoria Park Flower Market, he led Zhao Bing, Song Zhong, and Haonan to the next flower market to buy flowers.
Since Haonan used to be the leader of Causeway Bay, there are not many people who don't know Haonan at the Victoria Park Flower Market, and no one dares to ask Li Xuanchao for a price. Although Li Xuan has never bargained for flowers, the things he bought are not expensive.
However, when Li Xuan changed to another flower market, he was treated differently. The vendors in these flower markets knew in advance that there was a young man who spent money without blinking, and his accent was not local to Hong Kong Island, and he never bargained when buying flowers.
Since there is a big wrongdoer, it is not slaughtered for nothing. Some unscrupulous vendors are starting to figure out how to raise prices. As long as he sees Li Xuan coming to buy flowers, no matter which pot he fancies, the price can be doubled immediately, and some can even be doubled three or four times.
At that time, the reform and opening up had just been implemented, and the word profiteer had not yet appeared. Li Xuan once learned an idiom called "no sharpness, no business". It is said that in the old days, when buying rice to use the bucket as a measuring device, the seller would use a mahogany ruler to flatten the bulging rice in the bucket to ensure that the amount was accurate. After the transaction of the silver goods, the merchant will add some rice to the rice bucket in the rice basket, and if the surface of the rice has been smoothed, it will be bulging into a pinch of "pointed heads" to make a profit as much as possible.
But when doing business, you must always give a little bit of help to the guests. This is a kind of business gimmick of old-fashioned businessmen, and this handful of "additions" is very useful to customers, so there is a saying that "no sharp business". "No sharp business" is also embodied in going to the cloth village to pull the cloth, "full foot to put three", "add three feet"; copy oil and wine are a little added, and so on.
When Li Xuan was in the countryside, he never bargained when buying things, basically the other party said how much money, and he paid directly. Zhao Bing is a cold character, and he will not bargain. Song Zhong usually talks nonsense, but it is also in vain to meet businessmen on Hong Kong Island. And Haonan used to be a mixed black, and he was the younger brother who bought things, or he was just playing tricks and not giving money to take it away, and he never did anything about bargaining.
"This pot, and these three pots, I want it, you can make a price!" Li Xuan asked, pointing to the four pots of flowers he had taken a fancy to.
"Oh, these four pots are all new varieties, I'll give you a discount, two thousand Hong Kong dollars, thank you for your patronage. "Flower vendors started asking for sky-high prices. After the baptism of fishing, the small businessmen on Hong Kong Island have evolved from "no sharp business" to "no treacherous business" in advance, and businessmen have begun to use all kinds of tricks for profit.
Li Xuan was about to pay for it, but was stopped by Haonan, "Master, we can't spend it like this if we have money! ”
"Hey! I'm a hundred-year-old shop, fair trade, and no bullying! Why are you talking nonsense! If you don't buy it, go to the side!" Seeing that Haonan didn't let him buy, the vendor immediately crossed his waist and spoke.
Li Xuan frowned and asked Haonan. "What should I do? I'm really interested in these pots. ”
Since Haonan became the general manager of Xuanhuang Security Company, his temper has been subdued a lot, "You wait a little longer, the pheasant will come over with his little brother immediately." There should be some of them who can bargain. ”
Hao Nan saw that the master was crazy about buying flowers, and he had already urgently notified the pheasant and asked him to call the security guards of the Xuanhuang Security Company and accompany Li Xuan to buy flowers together.
After waiting for about ten minutes, several large cars quickly came to the gate of the flower market, and under the leadership of the pheasant, more than 30 little brothers wearing black suits and sunglasses walked down from under the car like dumplings.
The pheasant led them to Li Xuan, saluted Li Xuan in unison, and shouted in unison, "Li Dong is good!"
"Pheasant, Master is buying flowers here, this person is not honest and has raised prices indiscriminately, what do you think?" Haonan asked Pheasant.
"Haonan, why did you go back more and more? Do you need to say this? Like this kind of profiteer, we just smashed his stall, and we just moved away which pot of flowers we liked!" Pheasants are used to running rampant on Hong Kong Island, and when they see someone who dares to bully their master, they immediately become angry.
"Ah! The boss spares his life! The boss spares his life! Those who don't know are not to blame, you will spare me, right? Which pot of flowers do you fancy move away directly, I will never dare to ask you for money again!"
Just now, when more than 30 big men bowed to Li Xuan, this flower vendor was stupid. As soon as he heard that the pheasant was going to lead someone to smash the stall, he was so frightened that he knelt down.
"I am old and young, and I rely on this flower stall to support my family. It's me who is blind and collided with the boss, and I won't dare next time!"
"As long as you trade fairly, I won't embarrass you. Li Xuan bent down and helped the vendor up.
"I really don't want the money, you just move out!" said the vendor, standing up and trembling.
"Well, do you dare if my master wants to give you money? We are all serious people! We must trade fairly!" the pheasant glared, so frightened that the vendor almost fell to his knees again.
"These three pots are a total of 100 Hong Kong dollars, can you see it?" the vendor glanced at Li Xuan and asked cautiously.
"Five hundred for you. According to the price of buying flowers at the Victoria Park Flower Market just now, Li Xuan directly took out 500 Hong Kong dollars and handed it over.
"It's too much, I don't need so much!" The vendor asked for two thousand just now, but now five hundred is too much.
"Well, fair trade, do you dare?" the pheasant glared again.
"I want it, I want it! Thank you for your patronage!" the vendor shuddered and took five hundred Hong Kong dollars.
Next, Li Xuan took a fancy to which pot of flowers, and paid the bill directly, and immediately a younger brother stepped forward to carry the flowers and loaded them directly into the hired truck.
With these little brothers in black suits following, none of the vendors dared to ask for a price. Some vendors also deliberately sold to Li Xuan at cost price, fearing that Li Xuan and others would find a future account in the future.
If the asking price is lower than the market price, Li Xuan will take out some more money and pay the bill according to the market price.
When he met someone who didn't dare to collect money, the pheasant's eyes glared, "Fair trade!" The flower seller immediately obediently collected the money.
All the way, all the way to buy. Li Xuan and the others walked to the middle of the night, and they visited 14 large flower markets on Hong Kong Island. Li Xuan also took out more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars from his shoulder bag. It took more than a dozen trips back and forth for the trucks to transport all the flowers back to the villa.
Zhao Bing silently followed behind Li Xuan, and when he saw Li Xuan buying flowers, he didn't ask why. She knew that Li Xuan's purchase of flowers naturally had his deep meaning.
Song Zhong muttered along the way, very dissatisfied with only buying flowers and not food. Especially because the temperature is relatively low in the past two days, there are relatively few people who come out to buy flowers, and most of them are at the level of uncles and aunts, and the exposed beauties mentioned by Haonan did not appear at all, which made Song Zhong very regretful.
Along the way, it is already far from the seaside villa. The pheasant drove a few people back.
In the car, Li Xuan closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he felt that there was something different in his Xuanhuang merit technique.
And on top of the five-story Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, there is a layer of pagoda about to begin to take shape.
"Hey, this is a phenomenon that has never happened before!" Li Xuan fell into an epiphany again. (To be continued.) )
