Chapter 337 Bargaining

Chapter 337: Chapter 337 Bargaining

This little girl is too cunning, despite her young age, she really knows how to play people.

She hadn’t even made a real offer yet, and she has already pulled the price down by two points.

This can’t go on; I need to take control.

"Four points," Shen Mianmian extended four fingers.

"What?" The shopkeeper’s face immediately darkened, "That won’t do, at four points I might as well be working for you! That wouldn’t even cover my running costs."

One hundred headbands is indeed no small quantity. It’s hard to come across such a buyer; if anyone needs this many, they would go directly to the wholesale market.

But this is too cheap; it’s not worth it.

Shen Mianmian didn’t get angry because of the shopkeeper’s attitude, but continued calmly, "Shopkeeper, there were some things I didn’t mention before. In fact, I’m selling these to the students in our town. These are all pre-ordered by the students, and next week I’ll come to buy more goods, and in the future, I’ll buy other items from you as well. I can be considered your regular customer."

At the mention of the words "regular customer," the shopkeeper’s eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Shen Mianmian continued to extend an olive branch, "At four points, indeed there’s not much profit, but I am a fixed regular customer. Later on, if you find some hair decorations hard to sell, you can also recommend them to me, and I’ll help you sell them."

"But four points is too low; we small business owners, we don’t have it easy either. If you really want to buy, add a little more," the shrewd shopkeeper countered, doing her math. If it’s really a long-term deal, then it indeed could be profitable.

But what if this girl was deceiving her?

It’s still better to ask for a little more, so even if this little girl doesn’t come back in the future, the shopkeeper would have made a profit, not a loss.

Shen Mianmian feigned difficulty, then stealthily signaled to Lu Siyuan, who immediately understood.

"How about this, we add one point, if you can sell at that price, we’ll buy; if not, we’ll leave," proposed Siyuan.

The shopkeeper’s eyes sparkled, fearing they might retract their offer, she quickly agreed: "Alright, I’ll count the strawberry-studded headbands for you, and you can look at the others to see which ones you’d like."

She pointed to the headbands that were going for three points each, "You can only choose from these."

"Fine."

The shopkeeper was in high spirits, as was Shen Mianmian. They quickly chose forty headbands.

Both sides counted, and Lu Siyuan handed over five yuan to the shopkeeper. In such a short time, she had made a quick two yuan, leaving the shopkeeper quite merry.

Especially since Shen Mianmian would be coming back to stock up, the shopkeeper was even happier, "These hairpins of mine look really good too. Next time you come, don’t just buy hair ties."

As she finished speaking, she suddenly caught sight of a strawberry stud in Shen Mianmian’s hair, which was exactly what her shop sold. Her mind flashed, and she suddenly thought Shen Mianmian looked very familiar.

"Young lady, have you bought hair ties here before? What you have in your hair seems to be from my shop," she inquired.

Mianmian squinted her eyes and smiled, "I have come before with my brother to buy them."

"Oh my! Look at my memory," the shopkeeper excitedly slapped her thigh, "I knew you looked familiar. Such a beautiful girl, and I hadn’t remembered."

The last time she had seen Shen Mianmian, she had been dressed like a beggar, but now she suddenly appeared as if she were from a wealthy family in the city. The shopkeeper truly hadn’t recognized her.

Indeed, clothes make the man as much as the saddle makes the horse. Dressed up like this, she was stunningly beautiful.

Like a little fairy.

In those days, many people who hadn’t received much education, when they saw a beautiful young girl, liked to compare her to a
