Chapter 623: Bargain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It does sound good. 1’11 half the price for you.” Under the bookstore owner’s hesitant expression, King Xiaoyao directly decided.
After Ah Yu left happily, the bookstore owner stammered, “Your Highness… This is just a small business. Moreover, if the people on top ask, how should 1 answer?”
King Xiaoyao retracted the faint smile on his face and his cold gaze pierced over like an arrow, causing the bookstore owner to tremble. Then, he said slowly, “Do you still need me to teach you how to reply?”
The bookstore owner trembled. “This commoner is stupid.”
“Just be honest and tell them everything. I was the one who made you earn less. If you feel that you’ve lost money, go to my King Xiaoyao Estate and ask for money. How about that?”
What else could the bookstore owner say? He could only watch helplessly as King Xiaoyao turned his wheelchair and rolled out of the bookstore.
After King Xiaoyao left, the bookstore owner hurriedly discussed with the a.s.sistants and left the store. After making eight turns in the West Bay, he arrived at the door of Duke An Manor’s backyard. He knocked a few times before a gatekeeper came.
“Boss Yue, what’s the matter?”
The bookstore owner smiled bitterly and said, “I think your second branch offended King Xiaoyao?”
The gatekeeper looked surprised. “This matter should be top secret. How did you find out?”
The bookstore owner:”…”
No wonder.
Every time their second branch caused trouble, King Xiaoyao would go to the bookstore to find trouble. He would either give their books to the students for free or give them some discounts.
Or like today, they would lose 300 taels of silver with just a sentence from him!
It was a real loss of 300 taels!
It had to be known that everything sold in the bookstore was very expensive, but it was also because the business of the bookstore was not as good as they imagined. In addition, there were not many bookstores in the capital. Under all kinds of compet.i.tive pressure, and with King Xiaoyao venting his anger here from time to time, their bookstore had long been unable to make ends meet.
The bookstore owner sighed. “Sigh, it’s so tiring to follow the wrong leader.”
He vaguely thought in his heart that it would be better to let that little girl become the shopkeeper, or even be the behind-the-scenes owner. That young girl seemed like someone who could do business, adaptable and capable of saying both good and bad things without making anyone angry. Wasn’t she born to be a great merchant?
As for Ah Yu, she hummed a tune and returned to the w.a.n.g Family happily. She plunged into Old Madam w.a.n.g’s courtyard.
“Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back. I’ve ordered the paper from the bookstore!”
This time, Ah Yu didn’t just order the 300 sets of paper for brocade bags. There were also all kinds of paper for her Big Brothers to use when they came here to study, as well as 10 sets of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. She also had the foresight to buy a lot of high-quality decorative paper. The plan was for the brothers to practice writing on it during their free time. After the imperial civil service examination, when Big Brother Ah You became the top scorer, it would bring in another substantial chunk of income.
The total price was almost a thousand taels. Ah Yu pestered the boss to give her a discount of 100 taels.
As soon as that uncle came, she managed to slash the price down to half. That was really profitable!
“Slow down. Be careful not to fall.” Old man w.a.n.g in the courtyard had begun to carve a new jade pendant. Now, the appearance of a Pixiu could be seen on it. Seeing her like this, he hurriedly called out.
Ah Yu nodded and leaned over. “Grandpa, what are you doing?”
Old man w.a.n.g said, “Carving a jade pendant for your second uncle.”
“Wow!”
Just as Ah Yu was surprised, w.a.n.g Chuangui moved over with a book, his eyes filled with flattery.
“Father, is it really for me?”
Why didn’t he believe it?
“No,” Old man w.a.n.g said angrily. “It’s for the pigs.”
w.a.n.g Chuangui patted his chest with a relieved expression. “Then it’s mine.”
Ah Yu :”…”
