Slowly reaching into his bosom, Xin Yun took out a small cloth bag, gently put it on the counter and said: "The jewelry is here, take a look..."

Puzzled, he took the cloth bag, and the clerk looked at the strange father and son in puzzlement. Since they came to sell gold and silver jewelry, why didn't the things be carried on the adults, but hidden in the arms of the children

Shaking his head in confusion, the clerk opened the cloth bag, and immediately... two golds and four silvers, a total of six longevity tokens appeared in front of the girl, carefully picked up the biggest longevity token, and the clerk carefully observed stand up.

Then he opened the drawer under the counter, took out a small piece of black stone with metallic luster, lightly rubbed it on the longevity card a few times, and then took a closer look at the stone...

Seeing the clerk's actions, Xin Yun's expression was calm. He knew that the stone was a touchstone. Not only could he test whether the metal was gold, but he could even test the content and purity of the gold.

Under Xin Yun's gaze, the clerk carefully inspected the other longevity cards, and then smiled at Da Dao: "Well, not bad... These two gold cards are of high purity and good workmanship, how much are you going to sell?" money?"

"This..." Facing the clerk's question, Ah Da was speechless for a moment. If you ask him how much the gold medal was bought for, he can still tell, but if you ask him how much it sold for, he won't know. .

At this time, Xin Yun's voice sounded again: "This big gold medal is not only of good quality, but also has a lot of weight. If it is returned to the furnace and rebuilt, this big gold medal can be made at least four pieces thinner. , a smaller gold medal, that's right..."

Hearing Xin Yun's professional analysis, although he was very reluctant, the clerk still had to nod his head. In fact, even a layman can judge it from the volume.

Seeing the clerk nodding, Xin Yun showed the sweetest smile, picked up the smaller gold medal and said, "Such a gold medal should be able to sell for one gold and five silvers. If there are five such gold medals in total, it would be worth it." The price is seven gold and five silver. After all, you are also in business. I can’t let you stop earning. That’s good... If you give me the hardware, the five gold medals will be yours. As for the four silver medals, I won’t accept you. It’s money, it’s given to you for free.”

"Ah!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the clerk's eyes lit up excitedly, and he gave away four silver medals for nothing! Each piece can only be bought for thousands of coppers, and the gold medal has a 50% profit. Such a good deal, you can't miss it no matter what.

In the ecstasy, the clerk seemed to be afraid that Xin Yun would regret it, or that Ah Da would stop him, so he hurriedly took out the hardware and quickly put it in Xin Yun's hands, while putting away the six longevity cards, he said hurriedly: "Okay , let’s make a deal, now the money and the goods are cleared, there is no debt between us.”

Smiling and accepting the five gold coins, Xin Yun smiled strangely, then nodded, turned around and left the jewelry store, leaving the ecstatic clerk there to laugh.

Looking at Xin Yun suspiciously, Ah Da looked puzzled. After holding back for a long time, Ah Da finally chased after Xin Yun and said puzzledly: "Hey... If you don't know how to negotiate the price, then leave it to me." Come on, how can those four silver medals be given away for nothing!"

"En?" Looking at Ah Da, Xin Yun said strangely: "Don't you really think that the silver medal is given away for free? Do you also think that there will be pies in the sky like that clerk?"

"It's not free? What do you mean!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ah Da's face was dumbfounded, and he didn't understand what it meant.

Seeing Ah Da's confused look, Xin Yun shook his head helplessly and said, "Then let me ask you first, if you want to buy it at a jewelry store, how much does the six-faced brand cost?"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ah Da suddenly regained his energy. When it comes to prices, he has really studied them.

Holding his head high, Ah Da said with an expert look: "The big gold lock should be worth three and a half gold, the small gold lock should be worth one and a half gold, and the four silver locks are worth four silver in total. If they add up, it should be worth four gold and a half gold." Silver, um... that's the price, and you can't go wrong."

"En?" At this point, Ah Da was stunned, even if he went to the store to buy it, it would only cost hardware and four silvers, but why did Xin Yun sell for the price of hardware? Wouldn't the store only be able to make four silver profits

On the surface, Siyin’s profit is also profit for him, but in fact it is not. There is no fee for what he does, the salary of the clerk, the rent of the house, and various fees charged by the town. After careful calculation, this transaction Come down, the jewelry store should be lucky not to talk about making money, but not to lose money.

Looking at Xin Yun in amazement, Ah Da was completely speechless, he didn't understand... how did this kid's head grow, and where did he get those four silver medals? You have to be fooled!

It's not that Ah Da didn't secretly scold the clerk for being stupid, but just after scolding, his face turned green first. If the clerk is stupid, then what is he? You know... At that time, he also thought that Xin Yun was lavish and made a loss-making business. If the clerk was stupid, then he wouldn't be much smarter.

Some people may ask, why didn't Ah Da take the money from Xin Yun? That's hardware, in fact... Ah Da really thought about it, not because he wanted to make money and kill, but because he felt that it was not safe for a child to take so much money, and it would be better for him to take charge of it. Unfortunately, The indifference on Xin Yun's face gave him no chance to speak, and he was embarrassed to speak.

Today, although hardware is a considerable fortune, after exchanging corn for mushrooms and selling longevity cards, Ada has recognized Xin Yun's wisdom. Although he is still a child, his brain is easy to use He tricked the two adults, and made him earn twice as much money. How could such a person dare to offend him? If one is bad, Xin Yun doesn't need to harm him, as long as he doesn't tell him good ideas. He is God, and it is impossible to know.

Although there is a lot of hardware, according to Xin Yun's current wisdom, he can earn it for him in a short time. Therefore, the idea of asking for money only flashed in Ah Da's mind before he was completely thrown away. This man... You can't just look at money, you have to look forward! Although Ah Da is a little simple and honest, but who comes out to do business, who doesn't have two eyes, who doesn't have any eyes

While Ah Da was thinking, in front...Yi Luoxiang smiled all over her face, squinted her eyes, hugged Xin Yun's arm with both hands, and said affectionately: "You are really cunning, you don't know... I was terrified at that time." , but I didn't expect that the clerk was really surrounded by you."

"Cunning?" Hearing Yi Luoxiang's words, Xin Yun smiled. In fact... this kind of trick is commonly used by scammers. How many smart people have been deceived? It's cunning, but it's actually just taking advantage of human beings' psychology of taking advantage of small things. Not many people can see it on the spot.

Glancing at Yi Luoxiang, in order to test how smart she is, Xin Yun deliberately said: "It's not a lie, you see... If you melt the biggest gold medal, you can indeed make four small gold medals. First, they can sell seven gold and five silver medals, plus the four silver medals I gave away for free, that’s seven gold and nine silver medals, and they earned two gold and nine silver medals for nothing, a 50% profit, I still think it’s a loss.”

"Slap!" Xin Yun's words had just finished, Ah Da, who had been following behind him, slapped himself on the forehead fiercely, causing Xin Yun and Yi Luoxiang to look back, but they heard this guy muttering: "That's right! So that's the case. They didn't lose money. Fortunately... I'm still very smart and I wasn't deceived."

Hearing Ah Da's words, Xin Yun could only show a helpless expression, but Yi Luoxiang couldn't breathe from laughing, seeing Yi Luoxiang's appearance, Ah Da's eyes widened, and said unconvinced: "What's so ridiculous, this big white tent can never be wrong, they really don't lose money..."

Listening to Ada's words, Xin Yun smiled wryly and shook his head, unable to utter a word, but Yi Luoxiang interjected, "That's right, that's right, but making gold into jewelry doesn't require manual labor." When did you see someone sell jewelry by weight, if a tael of gold is worth only one gold before it is made into jewelry, then when it is made into a beautiful necklace, the price is still so much?"

"Here, I..." Hearing Yi Luoxiang's words, Ada wanted to cry without tears, yes... Sometimes, the production cost of this jewelry is more than the value of its own material, and the crude jewelry is nothing more , Most of the time, you really can't buy jewelry by weight.

Helplessly looking at the two children in front of him, Ah Da felt for a moment that he was the seven and a half year old, while the two on the opposite side looked more like seasoned guys who had lived for thirty or forty years. Is mom still human? Only seven and a half years old, so smart! Is there any reason for this? Is there still Wang Fa!
