Naturally, Cheng Biyuan understood that Zhu Bo was just being polite . He didn’t let that bother him . He casted a glance at his daughter standing nearby and said softly,, “Xiao Xiao can make the decision as far as the pricing goes . You can go ahead and work with her on that . ”
Cheng Xiao Xiao understood clearly that it was now the time to barter . She pulled out the pricing list that she had prepared in advanced . Pushing it over to Zhu Bo, she smiled, “Young lord, please take a look!”
“Miss Cheng was so well prepared . Let me take a look!” After taking over the pricing list, his look was much more seriously . He studied it carefully from top to bottom .
A while later, he looked up and smiled bitterly, “Miss Cheng, isn’t this price a bit high? You see, we will still need to send our people to transport all the merchandise out from here . There’s a lot of overhead on our end . With this pricing, we won’t be making any money!”

“Young lord, I am sure you understand the concept of low profit but high volume of sales . As for the transportation cost, young lord, are you trying to bully me because I am young and naïve? Everybody knows that big shots like you has all sorts of means such as dimension pouches, dimension bracelets, dimension rings1, you name it . You practically has an unlimited supply of these, transportation cost is not an issue for you at all . Surely you are joking”
Cheng Xiao Xiao pointed it all out point blank and Zhu Bo smiled with slight embarrassment . After all, he was used to business negotiation, where one naturally try to get the cost down to the lowest possible point .
“Miss Cheng, you are not wrong, but we still need capital . Especially when it comes to mystical animals, we are transporting them out in large quantities and we must have sufficient mystical water and mystical food to provide to them . And we must buy all of those from you, we’d be losing too much money!” said Zhu Bo with fake helplessness .

Cheng Xiao Xiao was unaffected by his words . Smiling, she said, “Oh, I am sure it won’t be difficult for someone like the young lord to figure out how to resolve the cost issue . Am I right, young lord?”
“Ugh, why do I feel that Miss Cheng is a better at business negotiation than I am, this is really…”
Before he finished his sentence, he looked down on the pricing list again . To be completely honest, the prices that she listed out weren’t completely unacceptable . It was merely habitual to try to barter in his line of business . He thought about it for a minute and said, “Alright, Miss Cheng . I’ll accept your prices . But any new species that you guys have in the future, we will continue to work together and remember to give us a discount on the new species, alright?”

“No problem!” She’d worry about those later on . She didn’t care about the pricing in the future . She just needed him to agree to these right now .
Cheng Biyuan, who had been listening along close by, was very pleased . He was very pleased with his incredibly smart daughter . Even though the way she negotiate was still a bit childish, but comparing to all the other shelter girls, she was surely much better .
Granted, Zhu Bo let Cheng Xiao Xiao have the upper hand in this negotiation intentionally . Otherwise, someone as experienced as he was would have easily eaten a newbie like her alive .
Cheng Biyuan had assisted in his family businesses back in the days . He wasn’t a half bad business man himself; he just never dedicated too much time into the business world .
They then spent more time nailing down the details on dates and time flew by and it was noon before they knew it!
Mrs . Cheng, along with some hired village women and maids brought out lunch!
Cheng Biyuan asked Zhu Bo and his men to stay for lunch . It was the fanciest setting, but since all the food contain mystical chi, everybody found them delectable .
