Chapter 2452 Are you crazy about money?
"Mr. Qin, although this thing is quite popular at the moment, I'm afraid people outside won't be able to accept it if the price is raised so high all of a sudden." The fat shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said.
"It's okay. If most people can't accept them, then naturally there will be people who will accept them. As the old saying goes, good wine needs no bush. I believe there will be people who will pay for them."
Although the quality of the wine has only been slightly improved this time, Qin Fei believes that someone will definitely pay to buy it.
He had no experience before, so this fat profiteer made a lot of money from it, but now that he knows the acceptance level of those people outside, he will of course raise the price.
Market price is market price, and naturally the price depends on the market. What he sells now is a unique item, and it is difficult to get it except from him. Since this is the case, Qin Fei must make a lot of money.
"Shopkeeper, my patience is limited. If you're unwilling to help me with the consignment, I can find someone else. When I passed by other exchanges before, I asked around and found that they seemed particularly interested in this wine that suddenly appeared."
Qin Fei threatened the other party in a calm tone.
Qin Fei can sell his things to whoever he wants. He is right. There is more than one exchange in this city now, and if Qin Fei really goes to find someone else to cooperate with, he really won't make a penny.
Thinking of this, the fat shopkeeper quickly and enthusiastically grabbed Qin Fei's hand and said, "Okay, since you are the boss, then we will sell as much as you say. How many bottles are you going to sell this time?"
"Not much, let's take a hundred bottles first!" Qin Fei said after thinking about it.
"How much...how much?" The fat shopkeeper almost bit his tongue when he heard Qin Fei's words.
It is said that rare goods are valuable. The reason why the wine was sold at a high price and sold well before was because it tasted good and was also scarce. But Qin Fei is now taking out so much to sell at once. Can it still be sold at a high price?
The fat shopkeeper thought Qin Fei was crazy about money.
"You heard it right, I said one hundred bottles." Qin Fei repeated again.
"Mr. Qin, with all due respect, if you really want to make money from this, I don't think you need to take out so much at once. I'm afraid that if there's an oversupply, the price will plummet."
"Tsk, you're talking too much for such a small amount. It seems that the scale of your exchange is not good enough, or you don't have the ability to sell these wines?" Qin Fei glanced at the fat shopkeeper and said with disdain.
"How could I be incompetent?"
"Don't underestimate me!"
Hearing Qin Fei belittle himself, the fat shopkeeper got furious and said decisively, "Okay, then this deal is done!"
The fat shopkeeper has a bad habit, which is that he can't stand other people's provocation. Qin Fei looks down on him, so he wants Qin Fei to look at him with admiration.
Just a hundred bottles of wine, he can sell them easily!
"I'll give you one day to sell the wine. I'll find you around this time tomorrow to settle the bill!"
Qin Fei knew that this fat guy was very good at selling things, so he didn't want to keep him too long, one day was just right.
"It won't take a day, half a day will be enough!" said the fat shopkeeper with a conceited look on his face.
"Boss, I think you need to change your personality. How can we sell out such expensive wine in half a day?" The servant said with a frown.
He knew that his shopkeeper might have been a little too pretentious just now. How could so many people come to buy such expensive wine, unless the shopkeeper paid for it out of his own pocket first.
"If I say it's sold out, then of course it's sold out. You know nothing!"
The fat shopkeeper scolded his servant, then immediately turned around and made preparations.
With the crystal in his hand, Qin Fei felt more confident when moving around in the city.
He had never been to the city before, so he had no need for things like crystals. But as he came to live in the city, he found that crystals functioned like money on Earth. Without them, he really couldn't get around in the city.
You need crystals to eat, you need crystals to drink water, and even just walking requires crystals from you.
After getting the crystal, Qin Fei immediately arranged a stay for himself in a high-end restaurant.
Why is it a high-end restaurant?
That's because Qin Fei had already inquired and found out that these restaurants are responsible for providing basic security protection to their guests. Now that he is being threatened by the Qi family, it would naturally be the best thing if someone could protect him.
The higher the grade of the restaurant, the stronger the protection behind it.
Although Li Yan is protecting him on the surface, who knows if there are any villains who will suddenly attack him in secret, so living in a protected restaurant can avoid some trouble to a certain extent.
Now Qin Fei's realm has reached the late stage of Tianxuan Realm. If there is no special opportunity, he is afraid that there will be no changes in his realm in a short time.
The function of this crystal is similar to that of a magical medicine, so naturally the more the better.
So now that he has time, he will store as many crystals as possible.
The fat shopkeeper was indeed a profiteer. Because Qin Fei gave him a very short deadline, he sent people to take action that very night.
Before dawn the next day, the news was already flying all over the city. The news was that the exchange where the fat shopkeeper worked had some fine wine for sale. This wine surpassed all the other wines on the market, and if you missed it, you would regret it for the rest of your life.
There are tens of thousands of monks living in the city now, and this fat man is obviously using the tactic of casting a wide net.
It is impossible for all these tens of thousands of monks to like drinking, but as long as he can attract one hundred people who are interested in wine and willing to pay crystals for it, his mission will be accomplished.
The next day, many people came to the door of his exchange. Among them were those who were interested in wine, but most of them came to watch the fun.
Because everyone wanted to see what he meant by regretting his whole life.
Joining in the fun is not just something that only the Chinese have, it applies to all of humanity.
And this is exactly the effect that the fat shopkeeper wants.
Regardless of whether there are real customers buying wine or not, as long as we can increase the flow of people here, why worry about not having business?
"Everyone, today I limit the purchase of a total of one hundred bottles of fine wine. Here are the samples, you can taste them."
Just like yesterday, the fat shopkeeper took out a bottle of wine and opened it up for everyone to taste.
The wine was definitely good, even better than yesterday's Erguotou. However, when everyone learned the price of the bottle of wine, they all backed off.
"A bottle of wine costs six hundred crystals, why don't you just rob it?"
Everyone murmured to themselves, feeling that the price of this wine was ridiculously high.
You have to know that crystal stones are not blown by the wind. This thing can be used to buy more cultivation materials. Why use it on this wine?
So even if some people have tasted the wine and know that it is delicious, they still won't buy it.
Seeing this, the fat shopkeeper knew it was time for him to take action.
"Ahem... I know you might think this wine is too expensive, but as the saying goes, treasures belong to those who are capable. I have a chance to get this bottle of wine for free. Do you want to hear about it?"
"Free?"
"Isn't it a tiankeng?"
When they heard that it was free, everyone present showed disbelief.
There is basically no such thing as a free lunch, so the fat guy knew at a glance that he was setting a trap for them.
"If it's a tiankeng, won't you understand if I tell you?"
The fat shopkeeper patted his chest confidently, then said, "What I said about free actually has conditions. Anyone who deposits 2,000 crystals with me today can get this bottle of wine for free."
"Two thousand crystals?"
"Why don't you go and grab it?"
"Your heart is too dark."
Hearing this, many people started cursing.
"Don't be impatient."
"Everyone, please be patient!"
Seeing everyone start to scold him, the fat shopkeeper was not in a hurry at all. He just raised his hand and pressed it down, then slowly said, "When I said to deposit 2,000, it doesn't mean that these two thousand can't be used. You can use these two thousand to buy anything in my exchange. It's equivalent to depositing 2,000 crystals and I will give you an extra 600 crystals to buy wine."
“But what if we don’t want to buy anything?”
"That's fine. I'll keep a register for you. As long as the crystals aren't used up, you can come and buy things from us anytime."
"You mean as long as we pay two thousand crystals, we can use up the crystals from you immediately and then get an extra bottle of wine?" someone asked after summarizing the information.
"That's right!"
Hearing this, the fat shopkeeper couldn't help but praise the other party's wit.
"Hearing your exaggerated boasting, could it be that you have already secretly changed the prices of the items inside?" someone raised a reasonable question.
"It's okay. The prices of the things I sell support price comparison across the city. If you think they are too expensive, I can always return them at the original price."
Although the fat shopkeeper is a profiteer, he also knows that since he has spent so much money and made such a big fuss today, if he fails to catch this wave of traffic, he will definitely suffer a huge loss.
So he had to make some people spit out two thousand crystals no matter what.
"Hearing you put it that way, I think it's acceptable."
The items sold in the exchange are basically cultivation materials, and these kinds of things are what cultivators cannot do without the most. If the purchasing power of two thousand crystal stones does not change here, then they can definitely make a deal where they can buy things and get free wine at the same time.
In other words, if they don't drink the wine themselves, they can just sell it off.
This is a sure-win deal!
Thinking of this, the smarter and more intelligent people had already smelled the business opportunity and immediately said to the fat shopkeeper, "Since you've said it so sincerely, I'll trust you this time and spend two thousand with you!"
"Okay, okay, please come in."
Hearing this, the fat shopkeeper's face almost turned into a chrysanthemum.
