Chapter 21: Suffering a loss is gaining an advantage
Master Liu was stunned for a long time, he almost suspected that he had heard it wrong!
Six hundred dollars!
I had clearly already offered up the price to eight hundred, but Xiao Shen was such a honest and kind person that not only did he offer me a three-year warranty, he also took the initiative to lower the price to six hundred. This guy was so nice.
Tell me, is there anyone who thinks that he has too much money in his pocket? Is there anyone as rare as Xiao Shen?
Xu Ruibing was originally very envious that Master Liu bought this old color TV for a few dollars and then purchased it for eight hundred dollars.
But Shen Lin, knowing that Master Liu had to buy it, not only did he not take advantage of the situation, but he took the initiative to lower the price.
This… this is just too honest.
Lu Xiaorong didn't say anything, but the look she gave Shen Lin was a little more gentle.
"This...how can I feel so embarrassed?" Master Liu's wife rubbed her hands .
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Master Liu, please listen to what I have to say."
"This time, I was able to resolve the misunderstanding so quickly, mainly thanks to the help of Director Song and Brother Ruibing. Since Master Liu and Brother Ruibing are friends, I will give you a friend's price."
Shen Lin stretched out five palms and said, "Five hundred yuan, any less and I won't be able to do business anymore!"
When he took the initiative to reduce the price from eight hundred to five hundred, Master Liu felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest with excitement!
This Xiao Shen is a man of good character. How come he is so honest?
While Master Liu was deeply moved, Xu Ruibing felt completely close to him. One hundred yuan was equal to his three months' salary, and Shen Lin took the initiative to reduce Master Shen's salary by three hundred yuan for him.
This touched him deeply.
Shen Lin is so kind! He just gave him a ride, but he was so grateful. You see, such a generous person, Xu Ruibing must be his friend!
"Mom, go get the money!" The person who was most nervous about this color TV was Master Liu's son, Xiao Liu.
For him, this large color TV with exquisite picture quality is exactly what he has always dreamed of. Although this color TV is second-hand, it is much better than the black and white TV both in appearance and interior.
He had already made up his mind to do whatever it took to get his parents to buy this color TV, but he didn't expect that the price of this color TV was only a hundred yuan more expensive than the small black and white TV.
And there are no TV tickets required.
Buy! This is a great opportunity that you can’t miss!
Master Liu's wife turned around and walked back into the house. She had to get the TV quickly. If she gave up, she would miss the opportunity and never find it again.
"Don't be impatient!" Master Liu waved his hands and said, "Young man, I am stubborn. I have never taken advantage of anyone in my life. The price you offer is too low. I cannot agree to it."
While Mr. Liu was trying to stop his wife, he said to Shen Lin, "Xiao Shen, I know Since you are honest, I can't be pretentious. I can't let you lose too much money."
"Old lady, hurry up and give six hundred yuan to Master Shen."
Old Liu’s wife was a little unhappy about this. After all, her eldest son was getting married, and with all the expenses, she was a little tight on money.
Isn't it a great thing to save a hundred dollars? But this old man is so picky!
However, since the boss had spoken, no matter how painful it was for her, she dared not disobey him.
"Master Liu, to be honest, I want to watch this color TV at home. If you insist on raising the price, I won't sell it to you." Shen Lin said seriously.
When Master Liu saw Shen Lin's determined face, he felt grateful and moved.
Hey, young man, what can I, Old Liu, say?
"Master Liu, Shen Lin and I are friends. He can sell it to you at this price. I, Xu Ruibing, owe him this favor !"
Xu Ruibing's words gave Master Liu an opportunity to step up and pat Xu Ruibing on the shoulder, saying solemnly: "Ruibing, Master Shen, I am really grateful this time. If you have any questions in the future, just let me know."
Under normal circumstances, Xu Ruibing would definitely feel jealous if he saw other people earning 500 yuan in a short time, but now, seeing Shen Lin holding a stack of Great Unity in his hand, Xu Ruibing was sincerely happy for him.
"Brother Xu, please take me home." Shen Lin said with a smile.
Xu Ruibing started the motorcycle and said with a smile: "Okay, if you want to go faster, just kick it! Hold on to the handrails, we'll be there soon."
When Shen Lin heard Xu Ruibing joking with him, a smile appeared on his face.
The reason why he took the initiative to lower the price this time was not because Shen Lin did not love money, but because he wanted to establish a good reputation for himself as an honest person through this transaction.
Now, this reputation will spread to more people through Master Liu's mouth. And the extra 100 yuan he gave helped him get to know Xu Ruibing.
…
In the family compound, the landlord Aunt Chen was cooking while nagging her husband about Shen Lin. In Aunt Chen's opinion, Shen Lin has changed a lot now and is a good young man who has turned over a new leaf.
However, the things found in Shen Lin's house, as well as the food and drink at home these days, made Aunt Chen feel resentful towards Shen Lin from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Lin spends money lavishly, I'm afraid the source of his money is really not legitimate!
"Old man, do you think Shen Lin really stole someone's things?" Aunt Chen asked Uncle Chen who was drinking water leisurely.
Uncle Chen looked unwell, and lay weakly on the recliner. He gently fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan and said, "Who knows about this?"
"But this kid, he stewed pork ribs today and ate chicken yesterday. Just because he doesn't have a job, I'm afraid the source of his money is not so legitimate!"
Aunt Chen nodded heavily and said nothing more.
“Boom boom boom!”
A knock on the door broke the peace of Aunt Chen's house. When she opened the door, she saw Chen Hongying standing outside.
They were all from nearby factories, and Aunt Chen and Chen Hongying knew each other.
"Hongying, you came here because of Xiaorong's family matters." Aunt Chen's first thought was that Chen Hongying came to her because of Lu Xiaorong's family matters.
Chen Hongying put her hands on her waist and said, "Aunt Chen, give me the key to Xiaorong's house. Shen Lin is a bad boy. If our Xiaorong lives with him, we will fall into a fire pit. I will pack up Xiaorong's things now."
Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Chen Hongying: "Hongying, you want to pack up, do you want to wait until Xiaorong comes back?"
"Whatever you say, I'm her mother, and I'm doing this for his own good. Shen Lin is a bad boy, so we must get a divorce." Chen Hongying said fiercely, "Aunt Chen, we have a good relationship. If you give me the key, I'll remember your kindness. If you don't give me the key, I'll break down the door today."
Chen Hongying's voice was very loud, and soon, many people came to watch the fun.
