082. Negotiation is a tug of war
Xiao Xie'er didn't care much, smiled slightly, and said, "Minglan, don't say such things. ︽You are asking for a price everywhere and paying it back. How can you list your own psychological price as soon as you come to negotiate?"
After saying that, she turned to Chen Sha, and said with a smile: "Interest, there should be interest, right? What about ten ice slurry fairy fruits? First of all, the number of fairy fruit trees is not large, and for some reason, it is impossible to cultivate more fruit trees through other ice slurry fairy fruits. Next, a tree bears up to three times a year, and only one or two at a time. Ten ice slurry fairy fruits have far exceeded the fruits of one tree bear in a year, so they are treated as interest, how about?"
The following topic began to make Tao Zhaide feel a little tired.
Because for the next half day, Xiao Xie'er kept bargaining with Chen Sha in various senses. Sometimes you give me a little, sometimes I give me a little. Sometimes I refuse to lower the price in Haomotang, but I agree to give you more things. Sometimes Xiao Xie'er is willing to not give me gifts and reduce spending.
For a fool, there are many things in this world that seem to be incomprehensible, and once you don’t understand, you will be bored. Just so happens that this kind of business negotiation is one of the boring topics, and he almost yawns.
On the other hand, perhaps because all the topics that followed were such business negotiation topics, they seemed a little tired for the disciples of Haomo Temple who did not understand the economy very well and only knew how to fight. Their originally tense nerves were gradually wiped out by the bargaining of Chen Sha and Xiao Xie'er. Later, they even started to yawn a little.
"Or... let's have a meal first?"
Calculate the time, it is now dinner time. Taozhaide saw Xiao Xieer and Chen Sha still talking nonstop. Both sides had already taken out their abacus and started to settle accounts, and at the same time they were quarreling loudly about the probability that they could not understand at all, transportation fees, maintenance fees and other things. He also decided not to disturb them at the moment. Instead, he greeted the disciples of Haomo Temple.
Wu Ming looked at his junior brother, and after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement. At this moment, the disciples of Haomo Temple began to gradually leave the reception hall and walk towards the Crystal Restaurant outside the palace.
————————————————————
Dinner cannot be said to be so luxurious.
But for the disciples of Haomo Temple who have been walking on the mountain for so many days, this dinner may be the best meal they have ever eaten in their lives. But a little bit of a pity is that even during dinner, Xiao Xieer and Chen Sha next to them kept holding pens and abacus and bargaining while calculating. It seemed that both of them were a little happy.
"Fortunately it's Miss Xiao Xie'er."
Xiao Xiaoyao, who also came here to have a meal, held a bowl of rice noodles. He looked at the two people over there and said—
"If it were Mr. Li, I guess he wouldn't be able to lift his sleeves with people to quarrel and bargain."
Tao Zhaide, who was sitting at the same table, thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's true! It's hard for me to imagine that Li Jianfang was so quarreling there. If it were him, he would probably be so angry by that Chen Sha."
There is no way. Although Li Qingyou is in charge of the accountant, he is a scholar. How could he bargain with others in a stern manner like Xiao Xieer?
Sitting at this table was Wu Ming, the head of the Haomo Hall. He was slightly stunned and said, "Mr. Li? Can you ask if it is the former head of the Ling Sect. Li Qingyou? I heard that he and the entire Ling Sect were incorporated by your Guanghan Palace, why didn't you see anyone just now?"
Taozhaide smiled and said, "Li Chanfang was very happy today! Because his wife was pregnant, she gave birth to a very healthy baby daughter! So he didn't have much time to come to have dinner with us. Senior Wu, is the food still in line with his appetite?"
Wu Ming picked up the rice wine in front of him and took a sip. After a slight pause, he looked at the dishes on the table and nodded: "The food is good. I am very attentive. Lord Guanghan, you can establish such a foundation at such a young age. It is really rare. I didn't expect that today is the day when Lord Li's love daughter. Well... I came here and didn't bring any gifts to meet him. I dare to ask the Lord. Can I allow me to meet Lord Li after the meal?"
"Yes! Actually, there is no need to give me any gifts. I believe that Li Jianfang will be very happy to see someone congratulate him."
Wu Ming waved his face, and the old man stroked his beard again and said, "How can this be? I will live for 120 years without any mercy. How can I, a grandfather, go to see a child empty-handed without a gift? Wouldn't it be a joke? Well... I have it, someone is here."
As he said that, the old man called the disciple who was eating beside him and gave a few instructions. After a moment, the disciple brought a package, but he didn't know what it was inside.
While eating, he talked. In fact, after talking to the old man for a few more words, Taozhaide discovered that although the master of Haomo was a man of old age, he was not a person who could not talk to him. If he insisted on saying that, he was just a person like the stubborn old man. Once the conversation started, he would no longer be as fierce as when he first met Bai Ri, but instead seemed very kind, and he drank rice wine more and more times.
"Grandpa, you can drink it very well! You can drink it even if you owe debts!"
Xiao Qiuxuan directly raised his cup and jumped off the seat, ran to Wu Ming in two steps, and raised his cup high. Now, the old man seemed to be happy with the little girl's appearance holding the cup. He raised the cup with a smile on his face and gently touched Xiao Qiuxuan.
"Little girl, you have a good alcohol tolerance! Come on, cheers! Hahaha!"
In fact... as long as people smile happily, there is nothing bad about it.
but--
bump------!!!
A terrible sound suddenly came from the seat next to him! Then...
"What a joke?! Don't think I don't understand! The sealing method is attached? What kind of sealing method will you give me! If the so-called secrets of immortal arts sent by you Haomotang are actually all expired and have hidden dangers in sealing immortal arts, we might as well not! "
"Hehe, little sister, I'm so angry! Do you look down on our Haomo Hall? Our Haomo Hall has been studying sealing for five hundred years, and that is a well-known sect in the Central Plains Immortal World! We won't give other sects even if we ask us to give them some leftovers to seal them! Besides, our Haomo Hall is shameless. If it is spread out and said that the sealing method we give you is actually a big problem, where can we be separated from the credibility of our sect? We are not as shameless as you Guanghan Palace!"
"Hmph, shameless? I think you Haomotang is really shameless! He actually asked us to pay your level tax? Just a few ice slurry fairy fruits, just hide them in your arms and take them away? Why do you have to pay taxes?!"
"There is no need to pay taxes when crossing the border! Do you think the entire Central Plains Immortal World is the same country, and the items you carry when you communicate with each other do not need to pay taxes?! And I only proposed the taxes for you to pay the first level, and there are two levels behind it. We, Haomotang, don't we do it ourselves?!"
It turned out that the two people who were negotiating there started arguing again.
Although such a quarrel was fierce, after a few words, the two of them returned to calm again and continued to discuss. After meeting the agreement that had been reached, they smiled. How could they have a little bit of the quarrel just now?
Seeing this, Wu Ming also frowned, drank the wine in the glass, and said, "It's getting late. Palace Master, let's go and meet Master Li. I also have something to give to them and their husbands as congratulations."
