MTL - My Sister is Very Obsessive-Chapter 20 : buy a bicycle
There are many shops selling bicycles. There are several shops two or three kilometers away from the school. They sell both used cars and new cars... However, it is said that many students spend money on new cars there, but they end up getting a second-hand one. .
Sun Jueqian suggested that we go to Liberty Square. There are many bicycle shops there, and a healthy free competition system has been formed, and they all pay great attention to word of mouth.
The shops around the school don’t have the problem of bad word of mouth. Anyway, a group of new students from other places come to the university town every year. When the time comes, hiring two people to distribute flyers in the university town will always attract a bunch of ignorant students.
A wave of pitfalls is a wave, and it will never lose money.
But my sister disliked the weather and didn't want to go to Liberty Square... So, we had to approach the pit knowing that there was a pit.
Cross the road from under the overpass, and you can see a shop that sells bicycles, but this shop does not only sell bicycles, but also some electric cars and women's motorcycles.
Looking at the wide storefront and the row of bicycles at the door, my sister, who was pulling my arm, turned her head away,
"It looks normal!"
"Go and ask!" I didn't answer my sister's question directly, "Just keep an eye on it."
Sun Jueqian didn't say anything. In her mind, apart from the prices of the meals in the school cafeteria, she only had the prices of books in the major bookstores in Canghai City. As for the price of bicycles, it would be more difficult to ask her than to ask the shopkeeper.
I followed closely behind my sister, and I didn't choose a model. Maybe it was a preconceived notion. I always felt that this place was very unreliable.
Sun Jueqian parked her pale pink bicycle and stood by, silently watching her sister choose.
I always feel that under her demure expression, there is a hidden vigilance that is not easy to detect, or... she also doesn't trust this store very much.
"Brother, what do you think of this car?"
My sister took my arm, dragged me to a bright yellow bicycle, pointed to it and asked me with a smile.
I looked at the nameplate hanging on the car, it seemed to be called "Phoenix", and I looked at the price tag, which was more than 300 yuan.
I didn't know anything about bicycles, so I took out my mobile phone and asked Du Niang. After searching the styles and related price comparisons, I found that the price was right. This is the style. Although the appearance and color are the same, I always feel that there are Something is not quite right.
"It's too expensive!"
I frowned and said something.
"Young man, the price of this car is very fair. If you don't believe me, you can search on the Internet. The price of the 'Phoenix' brand car is basically this price."
I do not know when, the owner has come behind us.
When I heard him speak, my sister and I turned our eyes away.
It was a middle-aged uncle in an apron. His apron was covered with black oil, and he was holding a huge wrench in his hand. His face was kind.
My sister took my arm and pushed me forward a small step, to the effect of asking me to negotiate.
I thought about it and asked,
"It's really expensive, can you make it cheaper?"
I didn't bother to ask him about the car and brand. After all, I'm not even a layman when it comes to bicycles. Even if he explained it patiently to me, I couldn't be sure if he was fooling me, so I directly negotiated the price. .
"Young man, what price do you have in mind?"
I shook my head,
"To be honest, it's the first time I've bought a bicycle, and I don't know anything about the market. Uncle, just tell me your reserve price, and I'll see if I can accept it."
The middle-aged uncle thought for a moment,
"Three hundred yuan, it can't be any lower. If it's lower, I'll lose money."
"Three hundred!" I pondered, "Three hundred yuan is too expensive."
I shook my head regretfully, but I was thinking about it. This bike has a high praise rate on the Internet. Moreover, in a post bar, many netizens posted the price of their purchase, the cheapest one. One is two hundred and ninety.
So, I tried to quote a price again,
"Two hundred and fifty yuan, no more. Any more will exceed my budget for this month."
"Two hundred and five is too low, and this value is not very good, or... two hundred and eight, how about it?"
The middle-aged uncle looked at me expectantly.
However, he did not know that when he quoted the price of 280, I had already decided not to buy it, because some netizens broke the news that the ex-factory price of this car was at least 250 or so, after excluding the freight and other related expenses , his net profit is less than 30 yuan, it is better not to do such a business.
"That's a real pity."
Saying that, I grabbed my sister's wrist with my backhand, turned around and left without any delay.
"Wait a minute, boy!"
Before we took two steps out, the old man chased after him with a wrench.
I didn't want to stop, but my sister stopped me.
"Young man, I think you are also a college student at a nearby university."
I nodded expressionlessly.
"To tell you the truth, my son is also in college. I also know that it is not easy for you college students. If you add another dollar, two hundred and fifty-one, I will sell it to you. After all, two hundred and five is not good."
I nodded,
"Two hundred and fifty really doesn't sound good, so why not reduce it by one piece, two hundred and forty-nine, it sounds more like a promotional price?"
Hearing my offer, the kind face of the middle-aged shop owner couldn't help but twitch twice.
"Okay, just two hundred and forty-nine!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper showed a helpless, wry smile.
"That's fine, I'll go get the money now, and come back to pick up the car later."
"You can transfer money with Alipay."
"My bank card is newly opened and has not been bound yet."
"Is it okay to tie it here?"
I didn't answer, just looked him up and down with a suspicious look.
Feeling my gaze, he may have felt that he was too impatient, so he coughed in disguised embarrassment,
"Okay, I'll keep this car for you first, but I can't guarantee how long it will stay. You have to hurry up."
"thank you boss!"
I nodded lightly, held my sister who was at a loss, turned around and left.
I don't mind being slaughtered, as long as you can slaughter me upright, that's your ability, I have nothing to say, but if you want to cheat me, I'm sorry, I don't have time to play with you .
Seeing that my sister and I came back, Sun Jueqian also rode a bike to our side,
"How's it going?"
"I think it's pretty good. The three-hundred-three car was cut into two-hundred and forty-nine by my brother. If I had bought it, my brother didn't seem to be satisfied."
After listening to her sister's words, Sun Jueqian looked at her with suspicion.
"It is said that the IQ of a girl in love is negative. You haven't fallen in love yet. Why is your IQ no longer online. I remember you were not like this before?"
"Sun Jueqian, you are really annoying. We won't take you to play next time."
The elder sister hit her best friend angrily.
Sun Jueqian smiled indifferently,
"You don't admit that your IQ is not online. Forget it, I'm too lazy to give you nonsense!" After she finished despising her sister, she turned her attention to me, "Go to Liberty Square?"
I nodded,
"When I don't know the market, the best way to prevent fraud is to find the largest store. Obviously, Liberty Square is more suitable for my choice."
Sun Jueqian nodded. Although she didn't quite understand it, she always felt that what I said still made sense... Well, compared to my sister's brain circuit, what I said did make more sense.
If you go to Freedom Square, you can't walk there.
I looked at the **** the bicycle,
"Do you want to go together?"
Sun Jueqian tilted his head to think for a moment, then nodded,
"Alright, I'm fine anyway?"
"Then your bike?"
"Don't worry about it, just find a place to lock it in the school later. The school's security is still good, and I'm not afraid of being lost."
I thought about it, and she was right, so there were no other questions.
