What's the point of selling it at this price? Only a fool would do that, so he shook his head firmly:

"I can't take this price, I can't take it, it's too low, I can't even get my money back. Don't be in a hurry to bargain, take a look at our quality first."

Xia Ran was talking about the price quite loudly. As soon as Xia Ran started talking about the price, the two ladies next to her stopped talking, came over, and said straight to the point:

"Comrade, you are planning to buy something too. Let's go together and buy it. The price will be cheaper."

Xia Ran smiled and responded, "Sure, no problem on my end."

The shop owner and the clerk's faces almost changed at this moment, and their hearts skipped a beat. It seemed that today's two orders must either be completed or they would be cancelled. There was no other choice.

"I just heard you say you want to buy 8 beds, right? I plan to buy 3 beds. If we put them together, we will have 11 beds. That's a lot. You should give us the wholesale price."

When the clerk heard this, he was done for. This order would be lost. He replied bitterly: "But our store doesn't do wholesale, only retail."

Xia Ran said to the shop owner: "I don't ask you to give me the wholesale price, just 90 yuan is fine. We need 11 beds in total, which is a lot. This is a quilt, and it doesn't circulate as fast as other fast-moving consumer goods. One quilt can be used for many years, so you can only keep as many as you sell. Why keep them?"

The final result of the negotiation was that Xia Ran bought 8 beds and the two ladies bought 4 beds, at a price of 92 yuan per bed.

As Xia Ran was walking out with her things, the older lady said, "Thank you for today. I was able to negotiate a good price thanks to you. The things in this store are good, but they always hold prices very tightly, so bargaining is very difficult. The last time I came to their store was three years ago, and they didn't even give me a penny discount when they bought me a quilt."

Xia Ran replied: "You're welcome. Today we are in a win-win situation. The other party agreed to lower the price because our combined volume is large."

"That's right. I was originally planning to buy three beds, but when I saw the price, it was really affordable. If I don't buy it today, I will have to pay the original price next time, which will be much more expensive. It's better to buy one more bed."

"That makes sense. Buy it if you need it."

"You're not from here, are you? Your accent is different from ours. Are you planning to buy it as a gift?"

"Yeah, keep some for yourself and give the rest away."

The other party replied: "Then you finally made the right purchase. The quality of this store is very good. It is a famous old brand that has been passed down for many years. Their prices are so low, but you can still buy such good products because they never cut corners or cheat on quality. They are all handmade. The production is small but the quality is absolutely good. This is the main reason why people are willing to buy from them even if they think their products are expensive."

"Well, I don't quite understand this. I bought it because it felt okay to the touch. I'll know whether it's good or not after I go back and try it out." After paying, Xia Ran specifically asked for the store owner's contact information.

Maybe we can have long-term cooperation in the future.

These days, she left the contact information of all the stores that she thought sold good products.

This is the main reason why she is willing to take the time to stroll around slowly. She is taking a survey and sampling.

If you have actually seen, used and eaten the products, you will be more knowledgeable when purchasing in the future.

After saying goodbye to the other party, Xia Ran found a blind spot to put the things into the space and continued shopping.

As soon as I walked out of an alley and onto the crowded street, I felt a claw reaching towards my backpack.

Xia Ran snorted and grabbed the other person's wrist, but the wrist was too thin.

When I looked down, I saw a skinny boy, not much stronger than a bamboo pole, and his face was almost deformed due to the pain.

Xia Ran loosened her grip a little and said, "You are very skilled at this job. You must have done it a lot. Why do you have to do this when you can do something else?"

After hearing what Xia Ran said, the other party's expression didn't even change. He stared at Xia Ran with a defiant look on his face, without saying a word.

"You are a habitual offender. You should be glad that you are still..." Half-grown kid, otherwise you won't be able to keep this hand today.

Xia Ran planned to drag this kid into the nearest police station, but the kid followed him steadily without saying a word.

"You are like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water." You are definitely a habitual offender.

As expected, as soon as he entered the police station, the habitual criminal kid was welcomed by everyone with jokes.

"Ermao, you're here again. This is the nth time this quarter."

"If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. You must have been caught again."

"You, you, I don't know what to say about you," a male policeman looked at Ermao helplessly and shook his head.

Finally, he looked at Xia Ran: "What of yours was stolen?"

"I caught him on the spot before he could commit any crime. I wanted to bring him here to scare him and let you teach him a lesson so that he would remember it. But I found that I was just overthinking it. He is a regular customer of yours."

"He's a regular customer. I see him at least once a month," said a female police officer.

Xia Ran let Ermao go and said, "So what? You're just going to let him go like this. Why don't you teach him a lesson? He's still so young. If you don't teach him now, he'll probably be ruined in the future."

The female police officer replied: "Sit down. How can we teach him? He has to survive first before we can talk about other things. This child is not a bad person, he is just forced by life."

Xia Ran glanced at the kid who didn't leave after letting him go, and just stood there rubbing his wrist, "What's going on? Is there something hidden here?"

The female police officer sighed: "This child only has a grandmother left at home, and she is sick. He also has two younger brothers and sisters to support."

Xia Ran asked: "Where is the master? Could it be that he has passed away?"

"Ermao's parents went to work in the south and died in an accident for unknown reasons, leaving Ermao and his sister behind. While his uncle was helping to deal with the funeral, he was in a car accident and died, and the most important thing was that the driver fled.

The elder brother of my uncle's family wanted to avenge his father and ran away from home to find out the truth. When his aunt saw that the family was broken up and there was no hope, she took the remaining money in the family and remarried. Now only a little cousin is left in my uncle's family.

After the two families buried the bodies, they didn't have much property left, and then his aunt-in-law plundered them all, so they were naturally very poor, but these children had to eat and survive."

"Are you telling the truth? Even TV wouldn't dare to show it like this. It's too dramatic. Could it be that his parents knew something they shouldn't have known and were silenced? This family is so unlucky."

"It's true. Even the storybooks don't dare to write it that way, but it happened. I guess he knew something he shouldn't have known, or he saw something fatal. That's why this happened." Otherwise, how could so many people die in a row? It doesn't seem normal no matter how you look at it.
