Chapter 139: My stuff, if I say it's not for sale, then it's not for sale.
Zhao You didn't actually understand the treasures of Juba Zhai, he just followed Su Wen's notes and pretended to be very knowledgeable. Listening to him talk so smoothly, it was easy to be deceived by him. In this way, Zhao You could also get a lot of useful information out of them.
"Auntie, let's buy it, we must buy it."
"Fengtong, shut up." Fengying shouted, she knew the merchant's cunning, if you show that you want to buy too much, then wait to be cheated!
"Heh heh, you guys think about it, just these two bottles, maybe tomorrow someone will buy them." Zhao Yu had an indifferent look on his face, he knew that the guests who came today were going to be kept waiting for a while, but according to the young master's orders, he still had to wait for another two days before selling.
Obviously.
It was Feng Ying and the other three who had arrived at Jibao Inn yesterday, but they didn't find any treasures that could cure internal injuries after taking a look. However, other things also moved them greatly, but they didn't have enough money on them, so they went back to raise funds very readily.
This morning they visited the person in charge of Shengshi Auction House, Yang Feixue. It is said that Shengshi Auction House will soon be auctioning off a three-leafed Lingzhi mushroom, which makes Fengying feel it's necessary to take a shot at it. Although the three-leafed Lingzhi mushroom isn't specifically for treating internal injuries, it'll still have some use. Now that they've found the Thousand Year Jade Dew, Fengying feels the three-leafed Lingzhi mushroom is completely unnecessary; if she can buy these two bottles of Thousand Year Jade Dew, maybe that will be enough.
"Speak, how much money?" Fengying wasn't a fool either, she saw that Zhao Yu had already taken advantage of her, so she didn't bother to hesitate. Buying the Thousand Year Jade Dew earlier would also allow her to return to her family earlier, and once the master's injuries healed, they would have some leverage against the Chunyu family.
"This price, we can't say for sure, mainly depends on the customer's sincerity." Zhao You started playing Tai Chi, Su Wen had just put things in the treasure hall today, they haven't determined the bottom price yet, now let Fengying quote her own price. Then they will be unbeatable.
"Your stuff, how much does it cost? Do you need to ask us?" Feng Ling'er spoke up, she was very puzzled. At her age of around twenty years old, she didn't understand the social etiquette. Zhao You's words were very smooth. No matter how you answered, Zhao You could follow up.
"Haha!" Zhao You chuckled, "Little girl, you don't understand this. We actually didn't plan to sell this thing now, I just saw that you guys are in urgent need, so I casually asked, if your price is acceptable, selling it to you is no problem, if not, then let's forget about it. I'm letting you name a price, also giving you an opportunity, if I directly said this thing isn't for sale, wouldn't you be very angry?"
"This..." Feng Ling'er's small brain couldn't turn around, she really thought Zhao Yu was doing it for their own good, especially when she heard that Zhao Yu didn't plan to sell, her face turned green. This clearly told Zhao Yu again that if they couldn't buy the Thousand Year Jade Dew, the consequences would be severe.
"Shopkeeper, don't scare my young lady." Fengying could only sigh at Fengling's naivety. "You are the sellers and we are the buyers. What you said about not selling is just a scam. The real reason must be that you're worried we don't have enough money."
"It's still this lady who is clever, since we've taken the goods out to sell, naturally it's for the money. The lady sees clearly, then please name a price, if we think it's suitable, we can consider selling to you, if not, we can also discuss further, there's no coercion between us, all voluntary." Zhao You smiled slightly.
"One hundred million!" Feng Ying raised her finger.
"Not enough, too low." Zhao You shook his head, this was his habitual action. Whenever someone quoted a price for the first time, he would say it's too low. This was also the consistent style of all business people. In the eyes of every cunning merchant, if you could take out 100 million the first time, you could take out 200 million the second time.
"This is still not enough, you are robbing us!" Feng Tong shouted, he knew it clearly, the Feng family was a hidden world family, and their assets were only about 10 billion. If they wanted to take out more money, they would have to sell their ancestral property.
The so-called "hidden world" families sound good, but many of them are also poor devils.
Any family that exists in this world, where can they really hide from the world? Unless they move to a different dimension and never communicate with the outside world again. So Su Wen has always had little reverence for hidden families, in his opinion, a hidden family is just a family with a very low sense of existence!
However, some hidden world families are still very wealthy. Not to mention the countless treasures passed down from their ancestors, they also control many enterprises. The real hidden world aristocrats, which one doesn't have a murky relationship with the secular world? Many even cooperate with the government, it's just that others don't know about it. The Feng family used to be one of the four great guardian families of Huaxia, but who knows how many years ago that was? Now they can't even surpass a rising family like the Chunyu, you can imagine how much they've declined.
Feng Ying was also somewhat unbelievable, she didn't expect Zhao Yu to refuse so quickly and thoroughly, which left her speechless.
"Hey kid, we're not robbing you. We sell things, you buy things, it's a fair trade. Don't think that just because our prices are high, it means we're cheating you. This Thousand-Year Jade Dew isn't just about its effects, we also have to consider the costs of obtaining it, how much money and manpower was spent in the middle... do you know?" Zhao You seemed to be lecturing Feng Tong, but at the end, he specifically mentioned the rarity of the Thousand-Year Jade Dew, clearly waiting for the other side to raise their offer.
Feng Tong wanted to argue again, but Feng Ying hastily stopped him.
"Auntie, let's add some more money!" Feng Ling'er gritted her teeth, "We must buy the Thousand Year Jade Dew, we can't wait any longer."
"1 billion 200 million?"
"130 million, 140 million......190 million......"
"Bang! Bang!"
Su Wen clapped his hands and walked out: "It's really generous, it'll be two hundred million in no time."
"Little Master!"
"Uncle Zhao, we won't sell our treasures from Juhbao Village to them."
"Alright, young master."
Zhao You immediately put away the Millennium Jade Dew, and looked at Feng Ying with an apologetic gaze: "Sorry, our Treasure Gathering Pavilion does not welcome you, please do not come again in the future."
Feng Ying was stunned, he saw Su Wen, and saw the nine-tailed fox.
"Don't recognize me? Then you should recognize Little Yao!" Su Wen smiled, "It's really a narrow road to enemies, you robbed Little Yao on Mount Da Pan, and now I didn't expect you to run into my store again. You say it's quite a coincidence."
"Little brother, we really have no choice." Feng Ying sighed bitterly. She now truly understood what it meant to be unlucky. If not for the incident at Dapan Mountain, it might not have been difficult to buy the Thousand Year Jade Dew. But now that they had met their enemies, let alone buying the Thousand Year Jade Dew, she estimated that even the Three Leaf Lingzhi at Shengshi Auction House was beyond their reach.
"Are you the master of the Treasure Pavilion?" Feng Tong shouted.
"Unfortunately, it is." Su Wen looked at Feng Tong coldly, "You threatened me in Dapan Mountain, I remember it clearly."
"Little brother, at first we didn't intend to do anything to you, we just simply wanted a bit of the nine-tailed fox's blood. Why must you hold a grudge?" Feng Ying said, she didn't want to give up on the nine-tailed fox, nor did she want to give up on the thousand-year-old jade dew, but now these two things, as well as the three-leafed spirit ginseng that Sheng Shi auction house was going to auction off, all had something to do with the person in front of her. If she couldn't coax Su Wen properly, then she would really be in a desperate situation.
"It's also lucky for you that you didn't think of doing anything to me, otherwise do you think you could have left Dapan Mountain alive? At that time, my grandfather Yang was nearby, and I just needed to shout once, he would naturally come to save me. So from the beginning, it was impossible for you to do anything to me." Su Wen said very bluntly, "Also, considering that you didn't plan on doing anything to me, I won't make things difficult for you either. Apologize to me, and I'll consider the matter on Dapan Mountain as if it never happened."
"Really?" Feng Ling'er was overjoyed, as long as he apologized, that would be easy.
Nature keeps its promises." Su Wen nodded.
"Alright, I'm here to apologize to you. We were wrong about the Dapan Mountain incident. Sorry." Feng Ying said.
"I want him to apologize to me in person?" Su Wen pointed at Feng Tong, "This guy who threatened me, I don't like the look of him, I want to hear him apologize to me."
"Fengtong!" Fengying shouted, and her meaning couldn't be clearer.
"Sorry!" Fengtong gritted his teeth, in front of the great righteousness of the family, no matter how resentful he was, he had to apologize.
"Alright, I forgive you all, go!" Su Wen waved his hand, with an air of finality.
"Then the Millennium Jade Dew..." Feng Ling'er hastily spoke up.
"What Thousand Year Jade Dew, I just forgave you for what happened at Dapan Mountain, but didn't say I'd sell the Thousand Year Jade Dew to you. This thing is going to be put up in the Shengshi Auction House's auction next month, so it won't be sold for now. You're welcome to come and bid then." Su Wen smiled very cutely and interestingly.
"You deceived us!" Feng Ling'er was furious, "The reason we apologized to you is that we want to buy your Thousand Year Jade Dew now. Otherwise, do you think we're stupid enough to apologize to you?"
"But I didn't say you apologized, I just want to sell the Millennium Jade Dew to you!" Su Wen had a very innocent look, "You'd better leave now, if you really can't bear to part with the Millennium Jade Dew, you can come and see it again in the future, we don't charge for viewing here."
"You damned rascal, you've fooled us!" Feng Tong cursed.
"You're not that bad, the Millennium Jade Dew is mine, I said it's not for sale and you can't afford it. You have no say in this matter." Su Wen pointed at Feng Tong, "Your mouth is dirty again, it's better if you don't come here anymore, seeing you always makes me angry for no reason."
Feng Ying glanced at Su Wen, her brow furrowed tightly: "This time we were rash, let's come visit again another day."
"Auntie!"
"You three, what are you still standing there for? Leave first!" Fengying shouted, her heart now twisted into a knot. She had thought she saw hope, but it turned out to be another despair.
