In order to make money, Mr. Liu Keng worked very hard.
While walking, he learned some basic knowledge about Luffy.
"Boy, do you know how many types of jade there are?"
Of course Luffy didn't know, he only vaguely remembered the imperial green that the protagonist often talked about on TV.
So he blurted out, "Hey, uncle, I only know one emperor green, and the other ones are just a black eye!"
Liu Keng touched his beard and pretended to be profound, "You see, this shows the importance of knowing what you do!"
"The imperial green you are talking about is actually just a classification based on the degree of color, which is a bit different from this type!"
Luffy was puzzled, "What do you mean, can we use other methods to distinguish?"
Liu Keng nodded, indicating that he had it.
Luffy thought for a while and said what he was thinking, "Could it be based on purity?"
Liu Keng showed admiration in his eyes.
Although this young man doesn't know how to do it, he has a very flexible mind.
You have to be careful when you trick him later.
Seeing that Guanzi was almost sold, he started to explain it directly without any further ado.
"Generally speaking, according to the purity of jade, we in this industry will roughly divide it into four types, namely glass type, ice type, waxy type, and bean type!"
“Glass seeds are the purest and most expensive type, while bean seeds are the cheapest!”
Luffy took over, "Uncle, if you put it this way, the small jade bracelets, jade Buddhas, etc. that can be seen everywhere on the street are all bean seeds?"
Liu Keng smiled and said, "Then you are wrong. Although this kind of jade is much worse than the previous types, it is still at the top level! It is still much better than the ordinary ones!"
“There are so many kinds of goods like those on the street!”
“Those who still have some sense of conscience will at most sell some low-quality real jadeite as good quality goods, and some evil-hearted people will even try to fake it!”
“It’s really hard for people who don’t know how to tell the difference!”
Luffy pretended to be shocked, "No way, now that we have a legal society, aren't we afraid of being caught if we do this?"
Hearing this, Liu Keng looked around and then squinted his eyes and whispered, "Young man, you don't understand this. Who can do this job without some background and means?"
"If it's so easy to get in, then you might as well change your profession as soon as possible!"
"To put it bluntly, as long as the benefits are sufficient, some people are willing to take risks! Don't you think so?"
Luffy nodded in agreement.
Take the first scene he saw as an example.
The original price of twenty yuan was sold to the young man by the 60-year-old stall owner for one thousand yuan.
This move is a huge profit of 50 times, who wouldn't be tempted to see it!
Liu Keng was delighted when he saw the expression on his face, thinking that the level of trust between the two of them had increased again.
After thinking about it, he was ready to find another reason to take the relationship between the two parties further.
This will make it easier to harvest later.
Then he rolled his eyes and started thinking again.
"Boy, do you want to play an interesting little test?"
Luffy became interested, "Okay, there's nothing important to do later anyway."
After hearing this, Liu Keng lowered his head and whispered in Luffy's ear.
After saying that, he took out another 50 yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, "I won't hold you back, I'll take care of the money for you first."
"If it happens later, you can just give me the money, and the gadget will be treated as a gift from me."
Luffy was stunned when he heard this, "That's not good, sir. It's not even half an hour since we met, so you just give me money. Isn't it a little inappropriate?"
Liu Keng laughed and said, "Money is an external possession. Now that I'm old, it's not easy to find a friend with whom I can chat, so I don't care about this."
Luffy didn't say much when he saw this, turned around and walked towards a stall not far away.
As soon as he walked away, his eyes were full of vigilance.
This old fox is really cunning!
He actually played with him like he couldn't let go of the child but couldn't trap the wolf.
Things are simple.
Liu Keng just told Luffy that the cost of items at many stalls on Zhenbao Street is actually very low, lower than what most people think.
Something that looks great and is priced at tens of thousands of yuan may actually cost less than 20 yuan!
As long as you dare to bargain, you can even get it at a super-fragile price!
In order to completely convince Luffy, Liu Keng even spent 50 oceans at his own expense to sponsor!
The purpose is to deepen the relationship between the two after the matter is completed!
Be prepared for subsequent kickbacks!
For example, there was a jade bracelet priced at 50,000 yuan at the stall in front of him. Liu Keng insisted that he could sell it for 50 yuan!
Luffy was skeptical about this.
So as soon as I saw the boss, I immediately used my clairvoyance.
[Jia Ping: More superstitious. Sigh... I haven’t closed a deal in a month. My wife is going crazy. Let’s get off to a good start first! 】
…
Jia Ping is very worried now. For some reason, there is not even a single customer at the stall this month.
So much so that he was almost depressed to death.
Fortunately, things may turn around, and a young customer comes.
He still looks like a newbie, and he looks like he could make a lot of money.
But who would have thought that this idea would be shattered as soon as it arose.
Because this young man spoke!
"Boss, this jade bracelet is pretty good, can you have it a little less?"
Luffy asked, pointing to the bracelet with a price tag of fifty thousand.
Jia Ping started to brag, "This handsome guy, you have great eyesight. This bracelet is..."
As soon as he started, he was immediately interrupted by Luffy.
"Just say a little less and don't waste so much words!"
Jia Ping was stunned for a moment, thinking that Luffy might be impatient, so he changed his strategy in a flash.
"Handsome, if you sincerely want it, how about I sell it to you for 47,500 at a 9.50% discount?"
Luffy smiled, "100 yuan, I'll pay it now!"
Jia Ping thought he heard wrongly, "Guest, are you kidding me?"
"You want to get my bracelet priced at 50,000 yuan for 100 yuan?"
Luffy showed his big white teeth and said, "It's 80 yuan now. I can pay in cash."
Jia Ping found it unbelievable. Could it be that he was here to cause trouble?
So he looked solemn and said, "Guest, if you want to find something missing, you can go to the street stalls at the street corner. The goods there are cheaper."
"This bracelet of mine is an authentic old-fashioned one. I can sell it for 80 yuan but still have to pay for it to my grandma's house!"
Luffy directly took out 50 yuan and said, "Just 50 yuan, if you don't sell it, I'll leave immediately!"
Jia Ping was silent.
He has now determined that this young man is definitely not as simple as he seems.
Most likely a connoisseur.
You can tell at a glance what the cost price of this bracelet with a price tag of 50,000 is.
Now he is a little hesitant and doesn't know whether to sell it to the other party.
If he doesn't sell, he won't lose anything, but he will continue to maintain the record of not opening for more than a month.
After selling, he still had no loss, but he got a good opening bonus.
People in this business are quite superstitious, and he, Jia Ping, especially believes in transshipment.
After a fierce ideological struggle, he decided to choose the latter.
So when Luffy turned around to leave, he immediately called him.
"Okay! Just fifty! I'll just make a friend!"
