Chapter 284: System: I'm good at counter-offering
"The first place, his family is not in a hurry to sell the house, so the price is very competitive. They say they won't sell it if it's less than 5,600 taels. The previous place can be reduced to 4,200 taels; this one is 3,300 taels.
two."
As the king spoke, he habitually observed Zhao Ruxi's expression.
The system suddenly shouted in Zhao Ruxi's mind: "Two thousand five hundred taels, one thousand eight hundred taels, one thousand taels, just pay this price."
Zhao Ruxi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Is this guy imitating the way she bargained for it and cutting it off at the ankles?
The few middlemen were invited by Wu Zong for the sake of Dali Temple's reputation. Even if they falsely reported some prices, they would not be much, and they would never dare to open their mouths to her.
If she pays the price given by the system, she will definitely be blacklisted by several scammers.
"Then tell me, what is the real price of this house?" she asked the system.
The system immediately pretended to be dead and stopped talking.
This confirmed Zhao Ruxi's guess.
She nodded directly to the king: "Okay, then I want the second place, four thousand two hundred taels."
Although she can completely wipe out the zero and negotiate the price to four thousand taels, there should be no problem, but saving these two hundred taels of silver does not mean much to her. But with Wang Zhongren, it can make him change his mind and think that she is a generous customer.
If I have any good stuff, I am willing to introduce it to her.
Spending these two hundred taels of silver also means making friends.
The king was stunned.
In fact, the base price of that house was four thousand taels. He deliberately left two hundred taels for Zhao Ruxi to counter-offer. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruxi asked for it without paying back a penny.
The fee for each of them is based on commission. The higher the price of the house, the higher the commission.
He scratched his head and said to Zhao Ruxi: "To be honest, the owner of that house gave the lowest price of four thousand taels. Some people like to bargain, so I asked for a higher price. In the end, everyone was happy with the bargain. The girl is generous,
It makes me feel embarrassed. How about we just deal with it for four thousand taels?"
"No, no, no." Zhao Ruxi waved her hands quickly, "I know it's not easy for you, even if you run around outside every day, you still have to look at people's faces. It's not easy for you to get a house. You can get a house and sell it at a low price.
Well, if someone sells the house in the future, they may not look for you but look for someone else."
"It would be fine if you were someone else, and I would benefit from it. But you are a friend of the Dali Temple official, and I can't cheat you just because of this benefit. So let's settle the deal at 4,200 taels."
"How, how can this be done?" The king was very moved.
They were really scolded for being in this business, and everyone thought that he made a lot of money from his customers. Zhao Ruxi was the first to think of him and say such heartwarming words.
Zhao Ruxi waved her hand: "That's it. If you think I'm a good friend, then when you recommend me a servant, you can choose the one for me. Next time you meet a good house or servant, you can introduce me again.
Give it to me, this will help me a lot."
The king immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely pick some good ones for you, and I will never fool the girl with some crooked melons and bad dates."
"Thank you very much." Zhao Ruxi said with a smile, "It's getting late. I'll go to the west of the city to have a look. If there's something suitable over there, I'll ask for a place. You've made an appointment with the owner of this house, so you can send a letter to
My third senior brother is Mr. Wu of the Wu Zong of Dali Temple. The best time to sign the contract is in the second half of the afternoon. I am usually free in the afternoon."
"Okay." The king said, "I will take them there as promised this afternoon, Miss Zhao, don't worry."
With that said, he diligently sent Zhao Ruxi to the big banyan tree. After watching Zhao Ruxi see Yu Zhongren in the west of the city, he left with peace of mind.
Zhao Ruxi bought the house in the south of the city to process the jade, and then sold it in the shop that the emperor gave her as a silver building.
In addition to the silver building, she also planned to engage in other industries, so naturally she wanted to buy a house and a shop. The ones in the south of the city were too expensive, so she set her sights on the west of the city.
When Yu Zhongren heard that Zhao Ruxi had bought a house in the south of the city, he was a little depressed at first. But after hearing her request, he immediately became energetic and took her to see three or four places. Finally, Zhao Ruxi chose one and moved in.
The house and a medium-sized shop cost only 4,700 taels in total.
After separating from Yu Zhongren, Zhao Ruxi did not go home, but took a carriage directly to Beining and arrived at Kang Shilin's painting academy.
Kang Shilin was born into a noble family, had never been short of money in his life, and lived a very particular life.
Since he wanted to live in the art academy, he moved many of the Kang family's usual cooks, cooks, and servants. Zhao Ruxi was Kang Shilin's beloved disciple. Even if Kang Shilin wasn't there, she would definitely order these people to cook a meal for her.
No problem, not to mention that Qing Feng followed her instructions and rewarded these people.
It turned out that Wu Zong had the same thoughts as her. When Zhao Ruxi was halfway through the meal, he brought Wang Guangyao in and ordered a few dishes. It was obvious that he was a regular rice cook and was very familiar with the Kang family.
What ingredients are available in the kitchen and what special dishes the chef will make.
He glanced at the food placed in front of Zhao Ruxi and despised her: "I don't know how to enjoy it."
Zhao Ruxi was speechless.
You have gained a reputation for being a good person, so why don’t you treat yourself like an outsider?
After eating, the three of them went next door.
"Girl, they are all here." Ma Sheng came up and reported, "The villain has placed them according to your instructions. The king in the south of the city said that he has chosen an excellent servant for you, and both husband and wife are very capable.
, the children are also very good. They were originally servants of a wealthy businessman, but later the wealthy businessman lost money in business, so they sold them because they were capable and blocked the way of some people in the house. "
It seems that the two hundred taels of silver were really well spent.
Ma Sheng and Lu Bo came here as soon as they arrived in Beining, and had meals separately from Zhao Ruxi and the others.
At this time, Zhao Ruxi ordered him: "You and Lu Bo go to dinner. You don't need to worry about this."
She turned around and told Wu Zong and Wang Guangyao about the situation, saying: "Senior brother, you also know that the emperor gave me a two-story shop. I used to design jewelry for Jie Baozhai, and I am familiar with the silver building, so I also
I'm going to open a bank. Most of the people I want to buy are in business, so they need to be flexible, well-spoken, and preferably literate. When you and Uncle Wang select people for me, you'll focus on these aspects."
Wang Guangyao was very respectful to Zhao Ruxi because of Wu Zong's reputation.
But when he heard that the emperor had given Zhao Ruxi a two-story shop, his heart trembled, and he realized that Zhao Ruxi was also a person herself. Otherwise, how could the emperor give her a shop?
His view of Zhao Ruxi immediately changed, and he made up his mind to be more respectful to Zhao Ruxi.
