Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1253 - 1254: Made a Killing
Lu Xiaobu noticed that Wen Family Hall was gone and frowned.
Wen Family Hall isn’t usually the kind to leave without a word.
But he wasn’t too worried. Wen Family Hall wasn’t a child; after all, he’s a billionaire, well... at least a small big shot, and he has bodyguards, so there’s no need to worry about anything happening. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
So, Lu Xiaobu started wandering around again.
Soon, that merchant gathered all the Red Fruit he could and placed it in front of Lu Xiaobu, "This... this!"
"Mm, I’ll take it all. How much in total?" Lu Xiaobu asked.
"Counting for you... nine hundred and twenty pieces," the merchant said excitedly.
He was initially worried that Lu Xiaobu would think it was too much, but to his surprise, there wasn’t even a blink.
So he generously erased the twenty extra pieces.
Anyway, he was making a huge profit!
"Here, a hundred thousand, round it off, and the extra is for you to help me carry it to the hotel," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said.
"Huh?!" The merchant was stunned.
Shouldn’t I round it off to nine hundred pieces?!
How did it turn into him rounding it off and giving me a hundred thousand?!
This can’t be right!
What kind of logic is this?!
As for carrying it to the hotel, why would that need money? Just ask, and he would help.
But there’s no reason to refuse the money in hand.
He immediately agreed, "Alright, thank you! I’ll make sure it’s done!"
...
Having bought a large batch of Red Fruit, Lu Xiaobu started wandering around again.
He didn’t find anything interesting, and even if there were good things, he didn’t care.
Besides, he wasn’t like those protagonists in novels who always find gold hidden right under everyone’s noses once they make a move.
He’s an illiterate in these matters.
Ye Changsheng did buy two things, but they didn’t seem to be anything valuable, probably just for fun or a keepsake.
As they walked on,
"That thing isn’t bad. I suggest you buy it," Ye Changsheng suddenly said to Lu Xiaobu, pointing to a Jade Pendant on one of the stalls.
"This thing isn’t bad?" Lu Xiaobu asked in return.
"It’ll help nurture your father’s body if he wears it," Ye Changsheng nodded and said.
"Alright." Lu Xiaobu didn’t hesitate at these words.
"I’ll take this," Lu Xiaobu picked up the Jade Pendant and said to the stall owner.
The stall owner’s eyes immediately lit up.
What a simpleton!
He’s a big fat Sheep, a really big one!
He immediately prepared to make a killing, "Five million!"
"Alright, here you go." Lu Xiaobu directly scanned the code and transferred the money, then turned and left.
"Uh..."
The stall owner was dumbfounded!
He looked at the notification on his phone, completely shocked!
Damn! Five million?! It’s five million!
He had planned to let the buyer haggle!
The original price for this was only five hundred thousand!
But now...
He just gave it like that?!
A thought suddenly popped into his head!
Did I sell it too cheap?!
Did I get taken advantage of?!
This item must be worth more than five million?!
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn’t sit still!
No way! No way! I need to get it back! I definitely sold it too cheap!
Although according to the rules, you can’t take back something once it’s sold, for a profit of at least five million, he didn’t care about his reputation!
However, he couldn’t just ask for it back so bluntly.
He needed to come up with a plan.
So, he took out another Jade Pendant from his pocket, gritted his teeth, and made a decision!
This Jade Pendant in his hand was reserved for someone else, priced at two million.
He had been keeping it for them; the trade was about to happen.
Now he decided to trade it back for the five million one; surely the other party wouldn’t refuse.
If he were to sell it for a high price, he would make a profit!
So he went ahead!
The stall owner hurriedly caught up with Lu Xiaobu, putting on a show, "Hey, little brother, little brother."
"What’s up?" Lu Xiaobu asked, fiddling with the Jade Pendant.
"I’m sorry! I overlooked something; that Jade Pendant is reserved for someone else! I accidentally sold it to you! Could you return it to me? Of course! I’m not shameless! If you return it to me, I’ll give you the five million back and also this Jade Pendant as compensation!"
The stall owner said, taking out the Jade Pendant that was originally reserved for someone at two million.
Lu Xiaobu immediately frowned, "What do you mean by this?"
The stall owner saw Lu Xiaobu’s expression and became even more convinced of his idea; that Jade Pendant must be worth more than five million!
"Little brother, I didn’t do it on purpose, but the other party is very powerful. If they pursue the matter, never mind me, but you..." the stall owner said with a slight threat.
Lu Xiaobu’s face immediately darkened.
However, Ye Changsheng whispered to Lu Xiaobu with a strange expression, "I don’t know what’s wrong with this stall owner, but the one in his hand is more than twice as good as yours."
"That one is better?!" Lu Xiaobu’s lips twitched.
"Yes, that one will be much more effective for your father," Ye Changsheng was also a bit dumbfounded.
"Alright then." Lu Xiaobu gave in helplessly.
Could it be that there’s really a special reason why this Jade Pendant is reserved for someone else?!
Otherwise, why would this stall owner want to trade one better for a worse one?
Thinking of this, he sighed, "Alright, a gentleman does not rob others of their joy. Let’s do as you say."
"Thank you, thank you," the stall owner immediately looked smug, thinking the simpleton was tricked.
Both sides completed the transaction again, happily parting ways.
After that, the stall owner didn’t even set up his stall, but with excitement, he took the Jade Pendant to find the buyer who reserved the Jade Pendant.
"Why are you here now?" The buyer frowned at the stall owner, then shook his head, "Never mind, trading early or late doesn’t matter much."
"Sir, your Jade Pendant is gone, I sold it!" The stall owner sat down with an air of arrogance.
"Hey!" The buyer was amused, "You’re quite something! Did you come here just to provoke me and let me beat you up?!"
This was the first time he had met someone like this.
Breaking the agreement is one thing, but not running away after selling it and having the audacity to inform him?!
Isn’t that asking for a beating?!
"Wait, wait, wait! However, I’ve found something better to replace it, just now, someone offered ten million, and I didn’t sell! Just to honor our agreement!" The stall owner began to talk nonsense.
Yes, offered ten million!
"Oh?!" The buyer became intrigued, "Let me see. If it’s really good, then I’ll give you ten million!"
The stall owner was overjoyed, having found another simpleton, hahaha, he’s going to make a fortune!
Look at my brains, even if I gave away a two million Jade Pendant, I directly make a net profit of eight million!
Then, he carefully took out the much inferior Jade Pendant, waiting for the buyer’s shocked expression!
