After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

"Girl, name your price and let me see," Ding Xuyang asked Ruan Mumu again. His eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation, seemingly full of interest in these items.

Ruan Mumu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Young Master Ding, you have seen all of these things. Putting aside everything else, just for their unique existence, they are priceless. What do you think their value is?" She leisurely picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then put the cup down, quietly looking at Ding Xuyang.

Ding Xuyang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's precisely because they are all unique that I don't know how to set a price. Why don't you name a price? If I think it's reasonable, we can reach a deal." His tone was sincere and direct.

Ruan Mumu nodded slightly, secretly admiring Ding Xuyang's honesty.

She thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Except for the phone... uh, the thing that showed your image just now, I can't sell it to you. I'll ask for 25,000 taels of silver for the rest. What do you think, Young Master Ding?"

This was a price she had carefully considered. Although she didn't know the market value of these items, she gave a relatively high price based on her judgment and intuition.

After all, these items are unique and have special functions and meanings. At the same time, she also left the other party some room for negotiation, increasing the flexibility of the negotiation.

Ruan Mumu waited quietly for Ding Xuyang's response. She knew that this negotiation might be very long, but she believed that as long as both sides were sincere, they would eventually reach a satisfactory result.

"I agreed."

"I disagree."

Two voices rang out simultaneously, sounding exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

The person who agreed must be Ding Xuyang, that rich and foolish guy! He looked at Ruan Mumu with excitement, his eyes gleaming with greed, as if he couldn't wait to get those Pokémon.

The one who disagreed was Ding Bocong, the owner of Jucaizhai, who was also Ding Xuyang's biological father. At this moment, he strode into the room, his face showing a hint of anger, and his eyes glaring sternly at Ding Xuyang.

"Father, why do you disagree?" Ding Xuyang asked anxiously as he saw his father stride into the room.

"Such a big matter, you didn't even ask your father's opinion? How many times have I told you? Don't make hasty decisions. You can make your own decisions on small matters, but for such a large amount as 25,000 taels, shouldn't you discuss it with your father before making any plans?" Ding Bocong said irritably.

Hearing his father's rebuke, Ding Xuyang's face turned somewhat embarrassed, but he still retorted unwillingly, "Dad, you don't understand, these things are rare treasures that are hard to come by. If we can get them, it will definitely take Jucai Zhai to a higher level! Besides, it's not like our family can't afford this little bit of money..."

Upon hearing his son's words, Ding Bocong couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph, 25,000 taels is no small sum. Even if our family is wealthy, we can't just spend it so easily, can we? Besides, it's hard to say whether these things are even worth that price!"

Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao exchanged a glance, knowing that this person was the one who could take charge, so they clasped their hands in a gesture of respect.

They secretly lamented that Ding Bocong had appeared at the very moment the deal was about to be finalized, and felt extremely regretful.

“Dad, you haven’t seen how amazing these things are. This is absolutely worth more than its price,” Ding Xuyang argued, whispering the last four words in Ding Bocong’s ear.

Ding Bocong looked at his son with suspicion, hoping he could give a reason that would convince him.

Ding Xuyang didn't say much, just pressed the play button on the tape recorder, playing "The Dream Chaser" that had just been played, and then looked at his father with a smug smile.

Ding Bocong was suddenly startled by the sound coming from the tape recorder, especially since such a small metal box could produce such beautiful music and even a real voice. He eagerly asked, "Son, what is this?"

"Dad, this is called a tape recorder. It can record audio, and then play it back. The song I just played for you was a recording. What do you think?" Ding Xuyang had an expression that said, "You're surprised too, aren't you?"

Ding Bocong stared in astonishment at the tape recorder before him, unable to resist reaching out to gently stroke its casing as if touching a precious treasure. His eyes gleamed with curiosity and excitement, filled with anticipation for this novel contraption.

"This is really something new! Son, you said that was a pre-recorded song, are there any other songs?" Ding Bocong was eager to know if there was anything more valuable inside.

"Boss Ding, this tape recorder has many different types of songs, and you can switch between them at any time. Moreover, if you like a certain song, you can play it repeatedly," Qiao Tinghao explained from the side, demonstrating the tape recorder's functions while a proud smile spread across his face.

Ding Bocong's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He imagined being able to hear all sorts of beautiful music anytime, anywhere, and a surge of excitement welled up inside him. He couldn't wait to experience this magical tape recorder for himself.

Meanwhile, seeing Ding Bocong's interest, Ruan Mumu immediately seized the opportunity to promote the product: "Mr. Ding, look at this tape recorder! It's not only exquisitely designed, but also incredibly powerful. It's definitely a treasure worth owning. If you love music, this tape recorder will be the perfect companion in your life."

Ruan Mumu's words deeply moved Ding Bocong.

Ruan Mumu continued enthusiastically, "Mr. Ding, your son has a discerning eye; anything he sets his sights on must be exceptional. If we weren't struggling to find a reliable source, we could easily sell any item here for more than the package price we'd give you. So, this is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!"

Ruan Mumu launched into a flattering tactic, her sole aim being to sell the product. She needed money for her business and to support her money-devouring beast. She hoped to win over Ding Bocong and persuade him to make the deal.

After speaking, he gestured with his eyes to Qiao Tinghao next to him to continue showing other things.

After reading it, Ding Bocong was even more eager for these items than his son. "Miss Ruan, twenty-five thousand taels it is, let's make the deal."

"Boss Ding, these things don't include the phone you're holding right now..." Qiao Tinghao reminded him from the side.
