Upon hearing the word "sable," the factory manager's face revealed a meaningful expression as he said, "It seems you two know your stuff!"

"This stuff is indeed very rare. Even with my connections, I can't get too much at once. But if your business isn't too big, it should be enough to supply you!"

"However, regarding the price..."

Businessmen don't get up early for nothing, and factory managers are no exception.

Moreover, he was also a very cunning and shrewd businessman. He realized that Lin Fan needed this product, and that he was the only one in the surrounding provinces who could provide him with a stable supply.

If Lin Fan were to be taken advantage of, he would likely be very upset, so it's possible to appropriately raise the price.

This is why the same thing can have different prices in the hands of different people, because the commodity market is fundamentally a supply and demand market, and supply and demand are not static.

If two people have the same item, but some people have a greater need for it and others have a smaller need, then the item will be more expensive in the hands of those who have a greater need.

"Don't worry, Director Zheng, the price will definitely satisfy you. I previously worked with Boss Huba, and the price for a sable pelt between us was one hundred yuan. I can raise the price for you by ten yuan!"

Lin Fan understood the meaning behind the factory manager's words, so he directly gave his target price.

This price is already very reasonable.

The agenda was raised beyond what was originally planned, but the factory manager was clearly not satisfied with that.

He looked at Lin Fan and shook his finger, saying, "Mr. Lin, I'm afraid this price isn't enough, is it?"

"I'm not afraid of being blamed by Boss Lin. I dare say that once I reveal my location, you won't find anyone nearby who can supply you!"

"I don't have any other hobbies, I just love money. So I try to make as much money as possible whenever I have the chance, in case I need it for retirement. So I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Mr. Lin. You have to give me 150 yuan for this piece of leather, or we can forget about it."

The saying goes, "Asking for an exorbitant price and then bargaining on the ground." Lin Fan didn't expect to close the deal so quickly!

Actually, Lin Fan could accept the price of 150 yuan. After all, he was in the luxury goods business, and the difference between the cost of raw materials, labor, and other expenses and the final selling price was huge.

Originally, a fur coat cost about 120 yuan after deducting all costs, but it could be sold for a full 2,000 yuan.

Now, even if the cost is increased by fifty yuan, it's not a big deal. But Lin Fan knows this in his heart, yet he can't reveal it to others.

He's not a sucker; how much money he can make is his own business. He can't just give away his profits just because he can make money.

So Lin Fan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If the price increases by 150 yuan, I won't even make any money. I know you do business to make money, but I don't do business to have fun either."

“I really need this. As you said, you're probably the only one who can provide it to me in the short term.”

“But if you offer too high a price, I won’t make any money if I buy the goods from you at that price. So what’s the point? That price is impossible. I can only give you 110 yuan.”

The other party was a cunning old fox, but Lin Fan was no novice either. He immediately refuted the other party's words and remained very firm in his stance, while continuing to protect his own interests.

That's how business deals work. You must stick to your bottom line while keeping it hidden. Don't let the other party see your bottom line, otherwise they can take advantage of you.

Lin Fan may look young, but having lived two lives, his little tricks are so simple that even a small business owner in a small county or a business tycoon across the country would not be able to see through his flaws.

In addition, his current youthful appearance has become a protective shield for him. Looking at Lin Fan's innocent and earnest expression, Director Zheng couldn't help but frown.

He wondered to himself if he had really set the price too high.

I thought that since I could buy such an expensive fur coat, and the profit margin in business is usually quite high, it wouldn't be a problem for them to squeeze out a little for themselves. I didn't expect that they wouldn't make much profit after I only asked for fifty yuan.

Based on experience, the other party estimates that the profit from a single piece of leather is only between seventy and one hundred yuan, so it seems difficult to get them to concede.

Thinking of this, the factory manager gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lin, that's true, but the price is too low. I don't make any profit. You know that bringing these things here is a big risk for me, right? How about this, we each compromise. I'll lower the price by another ten yuan, how about one hundred and forty yuan?"

Lin Fan shook his head again and said, "Director Zheng, if I only make a few dozen yuan profit from buying such expensive leather, do you think it's worth it for me?"

"I can only offer 110 yuan, which is already a high price. I believe Director Zheng knows in his heart how much you can actually earn!"

"If you still feel that a normal price increase isn't enough, then I can offer another five yuan, making it one hundred and fifteen yuan. We can complete the transaction right now, and I'll buy as many as you have!"

The factory manager had a headache. He hadn't expected Lin Fan to be so difficult to deal with. After all the talk, he ended up raising his salary by five yuan.

Five yuan was clearly not enough to satisfy his appetite, but he didn't know how to continue the negotiation. What if he pushed the price too hard and the other party just left, leaving him with nothing to earn even the five yuan?

Ultimately, business is reciprocal. Lin Fan really needed his fur coats, but these things are generally not bought by anyone, so he really needed a buyer.

Lin Fan had precisely grasped this point, which is why he relentlessly pressured the price and refused to budge. Unless the factory manager didn't want to make the money, as long as he held his tongue and didn't budge, the other party would definitely suffer a loss.

"How about this? It's normal. Among these sables, there's a precious breed called the Crown Sable. You've probably heard of it, right?"

"Do you know if you have any way to get me some of this sable?"

"To be honest, when I bought this kind of sable from Brother Huba before, he asked for a thousand yuan for one. If you can get me this thing, I'll raise the price by a hundred yuan. How about that?"

Upon hearing this number, the factory manager's eyes immediately lit up: "Mr. Lin, are you serious? You're really willing to pay 1,100 yuan for a single sable pelt?"

Lin Fan nodded very seriously and said, "Of course it's true."

"I'm here to do business sincerely, not to make fun of you, Mr. Zheng. Please believe in my sincerity!"
