Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

However, Zhao Zhuo did not show his surprise, but said lightly:

"Eighty per pound, this price is a bit low."

Hearing this, the shop owner couldn't help but sneered:

"Let me tell you the truth, although Panax notoginseng is precious, the amount you bring is really too little. With less than two kilograms of Panax notoginseng in total, why do you still want to make a fortune from it?

If it weren't for the quality of your Panax notoginseng, I wouldn't even bother to do your business."

This medicinal material market deals in bulk goods. Retail sales of one or two kilograms like this are indeed not looked down upon by shopkeepers.

Zhao Zhuo naturally knew the inside story, so he was not angry when he heard the shopkeeper's words, but smiled slightly:

"Then if I say, do I still have Panax notoginseng of this quality in my hand?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly changed his expression and said enthusiastically:

"More? How many more?"

Zhao Zhuo did not answer directly, but asked:

"How much can you ask for?"

Hearing Zhao Zhuo's somewhat provocative question, the shop owner was suddenly inspired to be competitive:

"Hmph, as long as they are of this quality, I can eat as much as you have!"

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile when he saw this:

"I have ten thousand pounds here."

"How much??? Ten thousand catties?!"

The shop owner was so surprised that he almost spit out water.

After calming down, the shopkeeper looked at Zhao Zhuo with some suspicion:

"Really? You're not here to have fun with me, are you?"

In fact, it is no wonder that the shop owner has such an expression, mainly because the quantity is really too astonishing.

Zhao Zhuo said calmly:

"Do you think I'm full and just wasting my time here?"

When the shop owner thought that this was indeed true, he immediately put away his contempt and asked seriously:

"Where is the ten thousand kilograms? I have to see the goods first."

Although he knew that Zhao Zhuo could not be joking for no reason, the shop owner had to be cautious with such a large business.

Zhao Zhuo understood this, nodded and said:

"You can view the goods at any time. A truck full of goods is parked at Zhuoyun Company."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper's suspicion almost disappeared:

"Oh, it turns out you hired Zhuoyun Company to transport it."

Zhuo Yun's reputation has always been very good, so the shop owner was naturally relieved.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhuo's next words surprised him again:

"It's not that I hired Zhuoyun Company to transport it, but that Zhuoyun Company belongs to me."

The shop owner didn’t react at first:

"Yours? You are?"

"Zhao Zhuo."

Hearing this name, the shopkeeper stood up suddenly:

"Are you Mr. Zhao from Zhuoyun Company?!"

As he said that, the shop owner stretched out his hand to Zhao Zhuo with a face full of surprise:

“I’ve admired his name for a long time, but I didn’t expect to see him here today!

I hope Mr. Zhao has a lot of people. It wasn’t that I had a bad attitude just now, but..."

The shop owner tried to explain, but Zhao Zhuo smiled and waved his hand:

"It's okay, we are all in business, I understand.

After all, you are all doing large-scale business, so the Sanqi I have is indeed a bit short."

The shop owner felt relieved when he heard that Zhao Zhuo was so reasonable.

After all, Zhao Zhuo's name is so famous in the Fengtian business community. Whether it is a chain of photo studios or Zhuo Yun's racing team, they are all big and famous businesses.

The shop owner was really afraid that Zhao Zhuo would be dissatisfied with his attitude just now.

The shopkeeper quickly waved:

"Xiao Gang, quickly take out my cakes and tea and make tea for Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Zhuo smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't be so troublesome, let's go take a look at the goods first."

Unexpectedly, the shop owner shook his head nonchalantly:

"Hey, why don't you worry about doing business with Mr. Zhao?

You said that the goods are all of this quality, then they must be of this quality, and we still have this trust."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help crying or laughing.

He himself never thought that his name would be so useful in Fengtian.

In fact, this is understandable. Combined with the business of the photo studio and the fleet, Zhao Zhuo's fixed assets are worth several million.

No matter how high the price of 10,000 pounds of Panax notoginseng is, it is only a business of several hundred thousand. Compared with Zhao Zhuo's net worth, it is really not a particularly big sum of money.

However, I don’t know what other people would think if they knew that although Zhao Zhuo’s business was so large, he actually didn’t have much working capital in hand.

After a while, a young man who looked like a waiter brought tea.

The shop owner said enthusiastically:

"Mr. Zhao, try the authentic Chuncheng Pu'er. I asked someone to get it with great difficulty."

Zhao Zhuo nodded, picked up the tea cup and tasted:

“It is indeed well-deserved.”

Hearing this, the shop owner smiled quite proudly:

"Yeah, everyone who drinks this tea agrees. This is specially used to entertain distinguished guests. When ordinary people come, I won't take it out."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but joked:

"How can I be considered an ordinary person? For example, when I just held two pounds of Sanqi?"

Hearing this ridicule, the shop owner couldn't help but smile sheepishly.

From the shopkeeper's attentive attitude, Zhao Zhuo noticed something was wrong.

So, after exchanging a few words, Zhao Zhuo put down his teacup and said calmly:

"Should we talk about business?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he also put on a solemn expression.

"Okay, let's have a good talk, after all, this is not a small amount."

After a pause, the shopkeeper thought about it, and then said tentatively:

"If it is such a large amount of Panax notoginseng, then the price of 80 is indeed a bit low. I can give it..."

The shop owner was about to tell a number, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhuo:

"Wait a minute."

The boss looked at Zhao Zhuo with some confusion:

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Zhuo said slowly:

"I am a business person who only wants to be happy. So I didn't do any research before. When I entered the market, I came directly to you.

Then, let’s not engage in haggling. Boss, think about it carefully and give me a price. If I think it’s suitable, then we’ll make the deal directly. If it’s not suitable, I’ll just switch to another one.”

Hearing this, the shop owner quickly closed his mouth subconsciously, swallowed the price he just came up with, and then nodded with a complicated expression, falling into deep thought.

This is the brilliance of Zhao Zhuo.

He knew that for the medicinal materials market in Fengtian, Panax notoginseng was a rare good thing.

Therefore, in this seller's market situation, Zhao Zhuo directly dismissed the shop owner's opportunity to bargain and test his bottom line, and instead asked him to offer a fixed price.

In this case, the shop owner will naturally have to think carefully and never dare to give a low price.
