After staying for a long time, Qiu Dun and others still didn't return, and the fat man himself couldn't sit still.
Under his strong request, Nathan had to compromise, put on masks with Fatty, and prepared to go out for a walk.
Miaochun originally wanted to come along, but she had no choice but to have a bottle of oil, so she could only stay with a mouth that could really catch the bottle.
At this time, it was just dark, the lights were on, and there was a bustling scene on both sides of the main road in Ross City.
The fat man looked around and immediately agreed with Miaochun's evaluation. This place was far more prosperous and fashionable than Zudai and Mase.
In particular, the various buildings lined up in the city are representatives of different cultures at first glance, which further proves that this is a metropolis with frequent international exchanges.
"If I were the boss here, I might be able to make a lot of money just by collecting tolls!" The fat man sighed with infinite emotion.
Nathan heard this and said with a smile: "You are right, tolls are really an important financial income for Ross. Moreover, related industries such as accommodation, catering, entertainment and so on are also very developed. It's just a pity that something like this There are only two or three developed cities in Ulan, and their existence cannot drive the development of the entire country."
"I remember that the main economic support of this country is food, right?" Fatty searched in his memory for a long time and only found this relevant information.
"That's right! About half of the food in the Ilp Alliance alone comes from here. Ulan is a veritable granary!" Nathan sighed.
"Well! What about Rus? What are their main exports?" the fat man asked like an idiot.
"Of course, of course it is ore that can be burned, and there are also resources such as iron ore!" Nathan replied vaguely.
The third young master was completely confused by his eldest brother at this time, and he had no idea whether he was really confused or was deliberately testing himself.
"Alas!" The fat man sighed, grabbed a gauze scarf hanging in a shop on the roadside and asked the boss, "How much does this tablecloth cost?"
The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He almost fainted when he heard this.
Looking at the vulgar-looking fat man or the rude-looking Nathan behind him, the boss suppressed his anger and said: "Five McKenzie dollars, no bargaining! Also, this is a gauze scarf, not a tablecloth!"
The fat man immediately made an expression of disbelief and exclaimed: "Why don't you go and grab it? Do you know how many cakes and naan you can buy with five Mckin gold dollars in our Su Lier? Just such a rag, you , you dare to ask for five yuan and you are not allowed to counter-offer?!"
"Are you deliberately joking with me? This is a luxury product. Are there any cheap luxuries? This thing is indeed inedible, but letting a woman wear it can make her happy, give you face, and make others envious. You Is that true?" The boss explained with all his patience.
"Happy? Well! That's not bad! But my wife and I get hungry easily when we are happy. When we are hungry, we have to eat cakes and naan to satisfy our hunger. But if we don't have money to buy cakes and naan, how can we be so happy!? So, why not do this? , I’ll give you two yuan, and then I’ll buy some pancakes and naan with the remaining three yuan to take home and have fun with, what do you think, is it a deal?”
The boss was extremely depressed by the fat man's words, and finally realized that the other party wanted to bargain. He originally wanted to drive the stingy fat man away, but he felt that if he didn't do business, he would be losing money.
So, the boss gritted his teeth and said: "The minimum is three yuan, don't take it down! This is McCann's latest style this year. If I didn't want to open up, I wouldn't..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, the fat man had already taken out three gold coins from the stunned Nathan's pocket and threw them on the counter. He then raised a finger and stood in front of the boss and said: "Don't lie, the sky is going to thunder!"
After the guy finished speaking, he picked up the gauze scarf and stuffed it into Nathan's hand, turned around and left.
The third young master hurriedly followed behind, dumbfounded. He felt that what the fat man had just done seemed to have a hidden meaning, but it was difficult to explain clearly at the moment.
After walking forward for a while, the fat man, who had always looked gloomy and said nothing, suddenly turned around and entered a store that looked very high-end.
He groaned angrily and walked directly to the shelves with countless scarves and began to rummage through them.
A fashionably dressed female shop assistant didn't know what was going on and hurriedly followed the fat man, watching his words carefully.
After a while, the fat man took out a gauze scarf that was exactly the same as the one he bought just now "from the flowers."
"Tell me, how much does this gauze scarf cost?" He asked the female clerk, pretending to be the only rich man in the world.
The obviously frightened clerk replied tremblingly: "Seven, seventy-eight gold dollars!"
"Ha!" the fat man shouted, grabbing the bargain item from the frightened Nathan, shaking it in front of the clerk, and asking angrily: "This kid lied to my sister and said he bought this piece of rubbish. It cost more than one hundred and fifty gold dollars! Tell me, where is the one worth one hundred and fifty gold dollars? Take it out for me and have a look!"
When the female clerk heard this, she felt more at ease. It turned out that her brother had exposed her trick to deceive the girl!
She thought and glanced at Nathan to show disdain.
As a result, the poor female clerk was shocked again. The third young man wearing a mask had a sinister face and a fierce look on his face.
"Can you let me take a look?" The female clerk forced herself to calm down, took the bargain item from the fat man's hand, and examined it.
After a moment, she said firmly: "There is nothing wrong with the texture and color of this piece. It's just the mark. I'm not sure. However, I think the piece you bought is not sold in our store, right?"
Looking at the female clerk's pleading eyes, Nathan nodded in annoyance and amusement.
When the clerk saw this, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "This gauze scarf, including the same style, is the latest style of McCann this year. The price in our store is 78 yuan, oh, the price includes tax. As for , as for this boss bought this one, maybe it was in another store, maybe they read the wrong price!"
Seeing Fatty and Nathan's eyes widening at the same time, the clerk quickly added: "As you know, we have a lot of commercial street shops here, and there may be some unscrupulous merchants among them, so..."
"Hmph! Is this piece of crap worthy of my sister? Okay, let's keep looking, I want to see where you bought it from!" The fat man pointed at Nathan and finished yelling, then threw the gauze scarf back to the clerk. He took the evidence back from the other party and left angrily.
After leaving the store and walking a few steps, the fat man returned to normal and said to Nathan with a smile: "It seems that we just bought fakes, no wonder they are so cheap!"
But at this time, the third young master was no longer in the mood to joke. He looked at the crowd of people passing by and sighed softly: "I just found out today that a mark can have such a high value, twenty-five times the price of the product itself. !”
"Haha! This is the strength of McCann! They don't sell food or mineral resources. What they sell is the brand mark. To put it bluntly, it's values!" Fatty said leisurely.
"However, McCann is indeed the most advanced in many technical fields, whether it is civilian or military aspects! These are McCann's real economic support and strength." Nathan argued in a rare way.
"Of course this is true! But I think it is McCann who is trying his best to promote the idea of technology first to the outside world, right? When doing business, selling finished products rather than selling technology should be McCann's most critical business principle Right?!" Fatty said with a smile, while also reflecting on why he had such unfathomable inferences.
