Chapter 18 Bargaining
Before going to Treasure City, Mo Yin instructed Bai Yang to put on a black robe and possess him, after all, she was still good at negotiating this kind of thing, and generally even worthless things would be fooled into valuable by her. If he is a clumsy idiot to get it, it is estimated that he will be goofed immediately, and he will be fooled.
Therefore, Mo Yin could only go out in person, came to the Treasure City, and went straight to the Treasure Auction. I have to say that this is the most magnificent place in the treasure city except for the city lord's mansion, at a glance it is tall and magnificent, solemn, intimidating, countless treasures flow into it, and then selectively auction it out, which can be described as a place to make huge profits.
Mo Yin didn't let Mo Xian disguise those useless treasures this time, after all, there are still professional treasure connoisseurs in the auction who can identify the authenticity of the treasures. This time, her main purpose is to sell Bai Yang's urinal and strive to auction it in the next auction, so that it can definitely be sold for a sky-high price.
So Mo Yin came to the trading office of the Jubao Auction and said that he wanted to sell some treasures. The management trading office is a middle-aged man with a big belly, richly dressed, small eyes, and shrewd and cunning.
Shopkeeper He looked at Mo Yin's mysterious and short appearance, and asked lightly: "Take out all the things you want to sell, I'll check them one by one!"
So Mo Yin summoned all those useless treasures, and they were all the Dao secrets, spiritual treasures, and heavenly treasures of the cultivators who were killed by her, piled up into a small mountain. Shopkeeper He was surprised, he didn't expect this mysterious person to take out so many treasures, and he immediately couldn't wait to check them.
The more he examined, the more frightened the shopkeeper He became, and he recognized the origin of these treasures, which were obviously from some cultivators he knew, who were obviously looted by this mysterious person. However, he is a businessman, so he naturally doesn't care about this kind of, Zhengse said: "I'll count it and give you a reasonable price right away, how about it?"
Mo Yin nodded, so after some careful calculations, Shopkeeper He asked, "These treasures have a total of 53,750 spirit coins, I don't know if you have any objections to the guests?"
Mo Yin, who must be compared, feels that there is a cat in this price, and naturally it will not be easily pitted. She disguised herself as the voice of an experienced old man, and said lightly, "I hope you will tell me the price of each treasure, so that I can know whether the price you give is reasonable?"
Shopkeeper He hesitated, but after all, the customer is supreme, and he still truthfully told her the quotation one by one. Although the first few treasures were in line with the market price, when it came to the Golden Needle Cheats, the price was only 1,500 spirit coins, so she asked: "Why is this Golden Needle Secret Book only 1,500 spirit coins?"
Shopkeeper He said: "The attack power of the Golden Needle Technique is not strong, it is not a threat to many cultivators, and it cannot be killed with one blow against low-level demon beasts, so its price is relatively low. ”
Mo Yin sneered, this shopkeeper He really regarded her as a fool, you must know that this golden needle technique secret book was taken by her from one of the Taoist cultivators of the Fifth Heaven who was killed in the pit, and she was watching the battle at that time, and she remembered it vividly when he used it. The power of the golden needle technique is also extraordinary under his use, and it can often be pierced on a person's deadly acupoints.
So Mo Yin immediately said solemnly: "Shopkeeper He, don't think I'm a shallow and ignorant person, you must know that the golden acupuncture technique can be used for both acupuncture and murder, and it is because of the human acupoints that are pierced, which can be described as very useful." In the hands of people who are not strong, it is naturally not strong in attack, but in the hands of people who are good at making needles, it is not only a life-saving Dao technique, but also a murderous Dao art, you actually only reported 1500 spirit coins to me, what is your intention?"
Shopkeeper He was suddenly full of relish, he didn't expect this mysterious person to be so shrewd and knowledgeable, which made him ashamed. He could only sneer and say, "How much do you think the price will be for the guest?"
Mo Yin said lightly: "At least 5,000 spirit coins, otherwise I'd rather sell it to someone else!"
Shopkeeper He was startled, and asked timidly: "Guest, are you asking for a bit too much?" How about 3,000 spirit coins?"
Mo Yin said coldly: "Shopkeeper He, don't bargain with me. If this golden needle book is auctioned, it will naturally be worth the money for those who are good at making needles, and it is not impossible to reach 10,000 spirit coins. 5,000 spirit coins is already the lowest price I want, if you don't agree, then this business will be over!"
Shopkeeper He suddenly said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's okay to give you 5,000 spirit coins!"
Mo Yin was satisfied at this time, and said: "Go on, I feel that your unreasonable pricing should be more than this Golden Needle Technique cheats, I need you to give me a reasonable price for everything, otherwise I won't stop!"
Shopkeeper He could only do so, it was the first time he had encountered such a shrewd and difficult guest, and it seemed that it was impossible to get benefits from him. When it came to the offer of the Red Snake Fruit, Mo Yinyou raised an objection, and he said solemnly: "This offer is no problem, I did give it to you at the market price." ”
Mo Yin said lightly: "If it is an ordinary red snake fruit, it is naturally what you said, but this red snake fruit is clearly nourished by a red snake that is about to turn into a dragon, so it looks vigorous, full and huge, and there are even faint scales around it, the value has long exceeded that of ordinary red snake fruit, should I say that you have eyes without beads or do you mean it?"
Shopkeeper He couldn't help sweating, he really didn't see the abnormality of this red snake fruit, he didn't expect this mysterious person to find out at once, and his words were vicious, which reduced him to speechlessness. He could only smile with a sad face: "Then the guest, I can quote you 4,000 spirit coins!"
Mo Yin nodded, and instructed Shopkeeper He to continue, when it came to the jade toad grass, his offer was only 2,000 spirit coins, which made her raise objections again. He suddenly felt a little weak, and reluctantly kept smiling and said: "Guest, this jade toad grass is a poisonous thing, it can only be used to refine poison, and it is inedible at all, so this price should be fine!"
Mo Yin sneered and said lightly: "Shopkeeper He, don't fool me, the jade toad is rare and rare, and there are many officials and nobles who make it into a mascot, which shows that its value is extraordinary." And although the jade toad grass nourished by the jade toad is a poisonous thing, it is a necessary elixir for refining the moon spirit pill, if the toxin is removed, it can also be honed into jade toad powder and become a women's skin care product, which has the effect of maintaining eternal youth and whitening the skin, you actually only quoted me 2000 spirit coins!"
Shopkeeper He suddenly wanted to cry without tears when he heard this, he was completely thrown into this mysterious person, and it was impossible to trap him. He could only cautiously ask, "How much do you think you want to quote for the guest?"
Mo Yin told him truthfully: "At least 10,000 spirit coins!"
Shopkeeper He was stunned, even if the jade toad grass had the value he said, it shouldn't have asked for so much. He shook his head and refused: "Guest, the price you ask for is too much, if we collect your jade toad grass for 10,000 spirit coins at the auction, wouldn't it be a loss?
Mo Yin smiled indifferently and said, "Shopkeeper He, are you underestimating your ability to auction? As long as the publicity is good, it is not impossible to sell this jade toad grass for a sky-high price." The jade toad grass is indeed not very effective for ordinary people, but for alchemists, it is indeed a necessary elixir for refining the Moon Spirit Pill. ”
"First, you should know that alchemists have always been very wealthy, and if they compete for this jade toad grass, I don't need to say much about what kind of grand occasion it will be when the time comes. Second, there are countless women who love beauty in Taoism, as long as they say its effect, they will definitely fight for it at any cost, and many men who love them will also participate, do you think it is too much for me to ask for 10,000 spirit coins?"
After listening to this, Shopkeeper He's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said gratefully: "The old gentleman really woke up the dreamer with a word, your business mind is much stronger than mine, since the jade toad grass has the value you said, it can be used as an auction item for the next auction, we can definitely make a lot of money, not to mention 10,000 spirit coins, even if it is 20,000 spirit coins, I will give it to you." But that's too much of a loss for you, so why don't you consign it to our auction and charge 10% of the handling fee at that time?"
Although Mo Yin was right, Shopkeeper He felt that the risk was too great, what if it didn't achieve the benefits she said. So he decided to use the jade toad grass as the auction item in the next auction, if it doesn't sell well, he will also take it for himself, and the auction will definitely not lose money under the charge of 10% of the handling fee.
Mo Yin chuckled, she naturally saw through Shopkeeper He's thoughts, obviously she didn't want to take too many risks, after all, most of the audience of Jade Toad Grass was only alchemists and cultivators, and it was unknown whether they would respond enthusiastically at that time. So she nodded and agreed: "Yes, then consign it to the auction, Shopkeeper He, I don't need to say more about it!"
Shopkeeper He naturally understood what Mo Yin meant, so he didn't dare to make a ghost, and Zhengse said: "Since the old gentleman has such a strong business ability and is well-informed, then you should know the price at which you sell these treasures." As long as the price is reasonable, I will truthfully give you the spirit coins I quoted!"
Mo Yin nodded, in addition to the jade toad grass to be consigned, she counted and quoted all the other treasures, and the price was exactly the same, which made Shopkeeper He breathtaking, and obediently handed her 105,780 spirit coins, which was twice as much as his previous total offer.
In the end, Mo Yin took out Bai Yang's urinal, and Yin Yin smiled: "Shopkeeper He, I have a big business for you!"
Shopkeeper He was curious when he heard this, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in this mysterious man's gourd......
