Chapter 235 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
Mr. Liu is in his thirties and has an ordinary appearance, but perhaps because of Xu Youyou's preconceived notion, she always feels that he gives people a bad impression.
"Ms. Xu, we offer 70 million to buy this dagger. What do you think?" Mr. Liu asked.
To be honest, if it were someone else, they would probably think this deal was a steal.
After all, the other party was just buying a dagger. Xu Youyou not only made a net profit of 10 million, but also got a house that could be sold for 6 million.
But Xu Youyou looked at him with a half-smile and said, "We all know the value of this thing very well. Mr. Liu seems to be asking for a price that is a bit embarrassing."
Mr. Liu's expression froze, but he quickly covered it up and said, "Ms. Xu, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. Isn't this just an ordinary antique dagger? If my client didn't enjoy collecting these kinds of antiques, I wouldn't be willing to spend so much money on it."
Xu Youyou didn't miss the guilty look that flashed across his face, and immediately followed his words and said, "Since Mr. Liu isn't sincere about this deal, why not just forget it."
Mr. Liu hadn't expected that his mere price-cutting tactic would nearly ruin the entire deal. Thinking of his client's almost stern words, urging him to get the dagger, he could only force a smile and said, "Ms. Xu, you're joking. How could I let such a good thing pass me by? How about this, I'll offer 100 million, okay?"
Xu Youyou didn't feel good at all. She had been unlucky for so long because of this dagger. Even though she had recovered from the illness, she still felt a little weak.
It was only 100 million, and she earned less than 50 million. How could it be worth the suffering she had to endure!
Xu Youyou opened her mouth and asked for five hundred million.
This time it was Mr. Liu who was surprised. The client's psychological bottom price for the order he accepted was 500 million.
According to his original plan, if he bought the item for 60 million, the client would have to give him at least 10% of the difference as commission, which is 44 million.
Now that Xu Youyou had offered 500 million yuan, there was no way he could accept it. After all, he could only earn a basic commission.
"Two hundred million." Mr. Liu felt that the price was very reasonable.
But Xu Youyou was very firm: "If you think the price is too high, then please go back."
Mr. Liu was extremely flustered, but he still had a glimmer of hope. He thought Xu Youyou might be trying to trick him, so he immediately stood up and said, "Miss Xu, since you don't have much sincerity, let's talk about it next time."
After saying that, Mr. Liu stood up and pretended to leave. He counted the seconds silently in his mind, and was sure that Xu Youyou would stop him.
Even after he walked out of the villa gate, he was still not tried to stay.
Mr. Liu stood there, completely stunned. According to the information he had obtained, there was no one else competing with him for the dagger. Wasn't Xu Youyou anxious at all?
After much deliberation, he decided to leave Xu Youyou alone for now. However, he was also afraid that if the task failed, it would damage his reputation, so he instructed his assistant, "Keep an eye on this place for the next two days to see if anyone else is trying to steal our things."
The assistant watched at the door of the villa for two days, but no new competitors showed up. Instead, he saw people in the villa driving to the airport.
Mr. Liu panicked: "Do you know where they are going?"
"I asked Assistant Xu, and she didn't hide it. She said she had sent the suitcase to security because her boss was going abroad."
Before revealing this news, Xu Fang obtained Xu Youyou's permission before telling Mr. Liu's assistant.
Mr. Liu, who was still waiting for news in the hotel, immediately rushed to Lu Jingyao's villa in a hurry.
He hurried as fast as he could, and when he arrived, Lu Jingyao was just seeing Xu Youyou off to the car. He was lucky because the young couple had just finished their sweet talk, otherwise he wouldn't have been allowed to say anything to spoil the mood.
"Ms. Xu! Four hundred million! We are willing to pay four hundred million!" Mr. Liu shouted.
Xu Youyou glanced at him and got into the car directly.
Mr. Liu didn't expect that Xu Youyou was so young, but when it came to trading, her willpower was like someone who had just quit drugs, and she never gave in at all.
"Five hundred million! Miss Xu, please be kind and don't make things difficult for me!" said Mr. Liu.
Xu Youyou slowly lowered the car window and said, "If you had done business like this earlier, why would it be like this now?"
Mr. Liu felt sad. He originally thought it was a lucrative deal, but after working hard for several days, he only earned a little hard-earned money.
Xu Youyou was in a hurry to get on the plane and didn't even stay to complete the transaction. Instead, she asked Lu Jingyao to find a reliable person to keep an eye on the business.
Under Mr. Liu's constant urging, the payment transaction was completed on the same day.
Xu Youyou sat on the plane, looking at the extra money in her bank account, and barely felt that she was not so aggrieved.
"Are all the tasks after the novice period like this full of twists and turns?" Xu Youyou asked the system.
[Host, each mission will have different encounters, and the system cannot give you a definite answer.]
Xu Youyou looked at this answer and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the wind of nonsense literature would eventually blow into the system world."
A string of "...come" appeared on the system interface, then flashed, and the system went offline.
Xu Youyou went abroad this time not to force Mr. Liu to complete the transaction, but because the system's latest bargain-hunting task was directly directed to Europe.
As for Lu Jingyao, he had some things to do at the company and did not accompany her abroad, but they agreed that he would go to Europe to find her immediately after the company's affairs were completed. At the same time, Lu Jingyao also arranged his bodyguards to be with Xu Youyou.
Originally, Xu Youyou had four bodyguards around her. After the Chinese New Year, the number was expanded to eight. Now, with Lu Jingyao's eight bodyguards, there are a total of sixteen bodyguards around her. All of them are elite soldiers, which makes Xu Youyou feel extremely safe.
This mission still has a time limit, but perhaps because the system took the long journey into consideration, it gave her fifteen days to complete it.
Xu Youyou used her own private jet to travel abroad this time. Having enjoyed the pleasure of long-distance travel on a private jet, she would feel shabby even if she faced a first-class cabin again.
Xu Fang was unable to accompany Xu Youyou to the United States last time. She was glad that she took the time to apply for a passport last year and applied for a European visa in advance.
After a long flight, the plane landed. Xu Youyou took the fast lane and her first stop was Paris. After getting off the plane, she took the car that had been booked in advance. Before leaving the airport, she saw an acquaintance on the side of the road.
"Ms. Shen?"
Xu Youyou felt that she was dazzled. Logically speaking, this person who appeared abroad should not be alone.
