Chapter 38: Big Profits
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Fine, then. I'll give it to you for 2,000!"
Fatty Wang pretended to be reluctant. After receiving the money, he gave the item to Cui Si.
After Cui Si left, he immediately showed off to the stall owner next door.
"See, Old Sun? It's not easy to fool anyone anymore. Bargaining nowadays sometimes makes it hard to earn a proper living."
Despite what he heard, Old Sun knew that Fatty Wang had profited greatly.
Before Old Sun could reply, a Mercedes-Benz G Class stopped in front of Fatty Wang's stall and a young man rushed out in a hurry. When Fatty Wang saw the young man, the former immediately beamed with joy. Wasn't this yesterday's customer?
"Sir, where's the ancient wine pitcher from yesterday? I want it now. I'll give you 10,000 yuan for it. Is that enough?"
Fatty Wang's face instantly darkened. 10,000 yuan?
The young man thought that Fatty Wang was hesitating because the former hadn't offered enough money, so he raised the price to 100,000 yuan. Fatty Wang's vision went black, and he fainted to the ground.
The young man was dumbfounded. Old Sun walked over and explained to the young man with a smile. "Fatty Wang just sold the pitcher to another person for 2,000 yuan just now."
Fatty Wang got up from the ground and chased after Cui Si while shouting to the young man, "Wait here, I'll go buy it back."
Fatty Wang hadn't run far when he saw a group of people surrounding her.
"Hey, Miss. How about this? I'll give you 300,000 for the pitcher."
Fatty Wang squeezed in and confirmed that it was Cui Si they had surrounded.
Cui Si shook her head. This pitcher was worth so much more than that. How could she agree to sell it to him?
The man tried his luck again. "Miss, just name your price and I'll try to match it."
"400,000."
Cui Si named her price and the man was about to agree when someone else offered more.
"I'll give you 450,000. How about it, Miss?"
A young man squeezed through the crowd and walked over with determination.
This made the man earlier angry.
"Look here, young man. It's a first come, first served-"
Without waiting for the man to finish, the young man raised the price again. "I'll bid 500,000!"
The man frowned, "Young man, stop being ridiculous. I'll bid 550,000! Miss, just sell it to me."
"Then I'll bid 600,000." The young man was determined to get it.
Fatty Wang was really going to vomit blood. The item he sold for 2,000 yuan had risen to this price in a blink of an eye. What a loss!
At this moment, the man who had bid suddenly said, "Young man, why do you look so familiar? You must be related to that old lecher from the Sima clan. What is your relationship with Old Sima?"
When the young man heard this, he immediately turned serious.
"I am Sima Jin, and Sima Tian is my grandfather."
When the man heard this, he laughed out loud. What a small world.
"I'm your grandfather's classmate, Wang Jin. Since your grandfather and I are on good terms, I won't get in your way then."
Wang Jin then turned around and left. Sima Jin looked at Cui Si and directly reached out his hand toward the pitcher.
Cui Si held the wine pitcher in her arms and took a few steps back. She had not agreed to the price yet. How could he so brazenly attempt to take it from her already?
Sima Jin noticed how Cui Si reacted and stated his price again.
"600,000. There are no other buyers now. Just sell it to me!"
Cui Si thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Sima Jin handed over the money to Cui Si in one hand and received the ancient wine pitcher with the other. After confirming the condition of the ancient wine pitcher, he turned around and left.
"Hey, don't leave yet. Let's exchange our contact information. Next time I have good goods, I'll sell them to you. How about that?"
Sima Jin stopped in his tracks and looked at Cui Si with disdain.
"Miss, you were just lucky once and you already think you can keep dealing with me? You must be dreaming."
Cui Si was instantly displeased. She was already 27 years old but the man was still looking down on her. What right did this person have?
"What makes you think that I got lucky? If you didn't have the money to make the purchase, I wouldn't even have sold it to you!"
Sima Jin looked at Cui Si with eyes filled with fury. This girl was blowing things out of proportion.
Cui Si used her Success Rate Analysis Skill on Sima Jin and very quickly found out his age. She even discovered that Sima Jin was gay and didn't like women at all.
"Sima Jin, you're only 27 and you don't like women. So don't think you're all that."
Sima Jin stared at Cui Si. How was this possible? How did she know his secret?
