Chapter 163 Bargaining
Seeing Huo An's expression was not right, Lin Xia thought that the drama should not be too much, so he said: "Of course, brother, the cost of my mining can't be all spread on this 'mysterious stone slab', but this stone slab is definitely not an ordinary stone slab, you can see it, so if you add a little more, I will give it to you, brother. After all, we have a close relationship, right? Then the new artist can only rank behind you!"
Huo An breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll offer 8, no higher! I still have to work hard to find a buyer!"
"Brother, you see how auspicious a number 8 is. Let's just make a price of 8. What's more, after this order is completed, I have something good to show you!"
Seeing Lin Xia's mysterious look, Huo An's heart was burning. Could it be that this little girl's character had exploded and she had obtained something rare? Forget it. If you don't sacrifice your child, you can't catch a wolf. If you don't sacrifice your wife, you can't catch a gangster. Let's fight!
"Okay! Let's just pay 8. I spent a lot of money on this~"
Lin Xia agreed repeatedly, but in her heart there was only "hehe". Who was she trying to fool?
After successfully selling the worthless stone slab at a high price, Lin Xia took out two huge clam shells in front of Huo An's expectant eyes. Huo An...
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then called Zach, who was busy at the side, over and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with my eyes? Doesn't what Lin Xia just took out look a bit like a clam shell?"
Zach looked at Huo An and said seriously, "This is the clam shell. She fished it out with me last time. I told you. Don't you remember?"
Huo An: "...Lin~Xia~You used a clam shell to trick me into thinking it was a good thing?"
Lin Xia felt wronged: "Such a big clam shell, how rare is it? I have never seen one before, how can it not be a good thing?"
Lin Xia felt really wronged. In her previous world, she had never seen such a big clam shell in real life, not even in documentaries or mythological dramas.
Huo An took a few deep breaths and said through gritted teeth: "With Zack, a diving fanatic, here, do you think I would be short of things like clam shells?" Isn't it possible to have as many as I want?
"But I don't see any here." Lin Xia looked around again, and after confirming that she didn't see any clam shells at Zach's house, she looked at Huo An and said seriously, "Really? Look, this clam shell is so big, it has so many uses, don't you really want to consider buying it?"
"Thank you!" Huo An said unhappily, "I really don't need the clam shell, you can keep it for yourself."
Lin Xia didn't give up: "You really don't want it?"
"do not want!"
"Okay, I'll take it back and put it at the door to plant some onions and garlic." Lin Xia put away the clam shell in disappointment.
"Oh~ That's right!" Huo An suddenly remembered something, "Your clam shell, I remember last time Zack said you fished it out because there was a black pearl inside, where's the pearl? I can keep this~"
After saying that, Huo An couldn't help but give Zach a blank look. How come you never thought of bringing back anything valuable when you go diving every other day? I don't care about the clam shells, but the pearls inside are good things! You really can't even make money!
Zach was confused by the white, if he knew Huo An's mental activity, he would probably swear to the heaven: I really love diving! Apart from diving, nothing else is worth watching~
"I won't sell the pearls. I've never seen pearls this big before. I must keep them as a treasure!" Lin Xia expressed her opinion immediately.
"Hey, you haven't seen this, you haven't seen that, what else have you seen?" Huo An didn't ask how old the pearl was, buying and selling were free, but he was still disappointed, "Forget it, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. If you have other valuable things in the future - if you have seen something that is not rare, remember to come and sell it to me!"
"Okay!" Lin Xia responded happily, and then asked Zach, "Zach, have you been diving recently?"
Zach touched his head and smiled innocently: "Of course! But in autumn, the weather is getting colder in the morning and evening, so I changed my diving to the afternoon, about one or two hours a day!"
"Didn't you go today?"
"It rained these past two days, so I didn't go. Special weather conditions are not suitable for diving. The sea is already dangerous, and special weather conditions make it even more dangerous!"
"Oh, I see. I'll ask you to go diving later. I want to catch some big sea clams. Last time, there was only one pearl in the clam. Next time, I want to catch more and make jewelry~"
Zach: “...Okay~”
After Lin Xia made an appointment with Zach with satisfaction, she came to Huo An's counter and said, "Brother Huo, do you have any good stuff recently?"
Huo An immediately perked up when he heard this: "Haha, whatever you want to buy, even if it's not available now, I can find it for you. But these are the only things on the counter, you can take a look for yourself~"
Lin Xia looked around and found nothing new, so she said, "I want a few sets of tools for fishing and catching shrimps, suitable for use in small spaces, easy to use and not complicated. Do you have any?"
The moat to the south of Lin Xia’s ranch and the long ditch on the back mountain that connects to the Goddess Spring Waterfall are actually very suitable for using small nets or push nets. Just fix both sides and catch the fish and shrimp swimming downstream in the mountain lake.
Lin Xia wanted to catch some river fish that are not easy to catch with a fishing rod, such as small shrimps, snails, shellfish, etc. These are also super delicious when cooked!
Huo An's eyes lit up as he said, "You've asked the right person. I have a fishing set that includes all the household fishing equipment, including fishing nets, electric nets, hooks, cages, and anything else you can think of. I'll go to the warehouse and get it for you!"
With that, he happily rushed to the warehouse. Lin Xia was also happy. Anyway, she had enough money now and could still afford it.
Soon, Huo An came over quickly carrying a small silver toolbox. Lin Xia recognized that it was another space compression box. Sure enough, after Huo An opened it, Lin Xia saw various underwater tools inside. After Huo An's general introduction, Lin Xia learned about the tools suitable for use in different waters.
Of course, there is still a gap compared with those large-scale professional fishing equipment, mainly in terms of catching range and quantity, but this set of tools is definitely suitable for individuals and small teams of 3-5 people, and the quality is very good, with a lifetime warranty, and the price is 150 million.
Lin Xia: "I remember you introduced me to a luxury hunting set before, which was 200 million. Didn't you say that the set included all the hunting tools? How come this set, which only has underwater fishing tools, costs 150 million? Wouldn't it be more cost-effective for me to just buy that set?"
"Hey~ This is the retail price, and that's the package price, of course they are different?" Huo An said calmly, "If you want that set, that's fine, I'll still give you 200 million. That set includes two types of tools, land and water, but this fishing set is completely for underwater use, it's more professional, it depends on your personal needs!"
Lin Xia thought about it. Now that his total assets have exceeded 600 million, money is not a problem at all. Moreover, hunting is purely a side job for him, and it is not limited to land or underwater. He does not need to worry about whether it is professional or not. Overall, a hunting suit is more suitable, and the suit also contains various prey processing and gathering tools, climbing and drilling tools, etc.
Having made the decision, Lin Xia did not hesitate and began the bargaining stage. After the two sides exchanged positions and started to talk back and forth, the price was reduced by 12, which was another auspicious number, 188 million. Huo An didn't know why this girl was so obsessed with the number 8. Otherwise, he could just add a few more 8s in the quotation in the future to avoid being so tired every time!
He didn't know that Lin Xia was just looking for an excuse to bargain. After Huo An changed the price to 8, she could bargain for auspicious numbers 6, 4, 9, or another lucky number. As long as she could bargain, she could make anything.
This time, Lin Xia did not choose to pay in installments. As long as it was not for building a villa or buying secret goods, Lin Xia would be rich for the time being!
Huo An was visibly happy after making some money, and asked casually, "Would you like to have dinner here tonight?"
Lin Xia: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to lose weight at night?"
"Hey~ It was Zach who said he wanted to lose weight, but I didn't."
Zach: Be a human being.
Lin Xia: Too shameless~
