Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 233 - 231 (12) Price Reduction? You must be joking

Chapter 233: Chapter 231 (12) Price Reduction? You must be joking

However, when faced with the reluctance of this young clerk, this group of merchants dressed in fine attire revealed a fawning smile and repeatedly bowed to the young man:

"Ah my, we were rash, we were rash, it was just being anxious, please forgive us if there were any shortcomings, forgive us, please."

It must be said, these words left the clerk startled.

He had never expected these people to be so polite.

Although merchants are regarded of a lower status in today’s society, one should not forget, their profession is also in commerce.

Because of this, when facing these grand merchants, he was not comparable.

Especially considering he was just a minor clerk.

Although his boss in this shop was very imposing, it didn’t warrant such a sycophantic demeanor from others.

However, once he recalled that this was the Emperor’s shop, his confidence surged again.

Especially with a few soldiers wielding swords near him.

He was also in commerce, but the nature was different.

He was conducting business on behalf of the Emperor; how could he be the same as these humble merchants?

He also raised his head slightly and waved his hand at them, asking:

"Alright, alright, what do you gentlemen wish to do? Are you here to buy glazed glass, or what?"

Upon hearing this, the group looked at one another and then, the chubby leader stepped forward, bowed again towards the young man and said:

"You see young man, some of us are thinking of returning to our hometown, thus we thought of buying a few more pieces to share with our families.

May I ask, young man, how much glazed glassware is your shop selling today? Could we perhaps have a good look at them?"

Upon hearing that these people indeed wanted to purchase glazed glass, and the implication that they wanted to buy more, the clerk’s eyes lit up.

You know, selling glazed glass reaps a commission, and just yesterday, some clerks made hundreds of taels in commissions.

This truly made the young man envious.

Especially considering his own sales skills were mediocre.

Yesterday, his sales commission was just around a dozen Silver taels.

Although these Silver taels were already an astronomical figure, with those few hundreds taels displayed there, it seemed insignificant.

Especially since yesterday, he was among those who earned the least.

This was also why he was the first to come and open the shop today.

At present, those real sales personnel were still having breakfast behind.

But he never imagined that as soon as he opened the shop, so many merchants would pour in.

And seeing their manner, wasn’t his spring about to arrive?

Especially since those other clerks were still dining in the back dining hall, thus there was no one to compete with him for these customers.

With this thought, the excitement of the clerk clearly rose further.

Regarding those merchants who had initially startled him, any unpleasant feelings vanished instantly, replaced by a very friendly demeanor as he waved to them and beckoned:

"Hi, you should have said so earlier, you gave me quite a scare.

Come, come, just last night a new batch of glazed glass was shelved, not a few in quantity, and the variety is quite comprehensive.

You, gentlemen, are the first customers today. Therefore, you can definitely pick some great items, come on, let me show you."

Saying this, he led these dozen people towards the counter.

Upon hearing that a new batch of glazed glass had just been put up last night, the merchants looked at each other, and excitement filled their eyes.

Originally, they were worried about making a fruitless trip today, fearing that only yesterday’s leftovers would be remaining in the shop, but now it seems, they were overthinking.

Following the footsteps of the clerk, they swiftly arrive at the long row of counters. Peering through the transparent counter, they immediately saw a dazzling array of brand new glazed glass.

However, as the shop had just opened, there weren’t candles lit in the counter.

This made the glazed glass look less sparkling and dazzling than yesterday.

Nevertheless, even without the embellishment of candles and firelight, to these merchants, it looked nearly as good. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

After all, with just a rough look, they could already discern the quality of the glazed glass, comparing favorably with what was available yesterday.

As for comparing it to what’s available on the market, it’s far superior.

Especially today, as they were the first ones to visit, the store’s inventory was absolutely complete.

Looking at the rows and rows of glazed glassware inside the counter, stars appeared in the merchants’ eyes:

"Young man, could we possibly negotiate the prices of these glazed glassware a bit lower?"

Following the modern practices, each piece of glazed glassware had a small wooden label in front displaying its price.

The moment they saw the prices of these items, the merchants instantly smiled broadly and lifted their heads to look at the young clerk.

Upon hearing their question, the clerk immediately shook his head without hesitation and said:

"Lower the prices? Aren’t you gentlemen joking with me?

If you didn’t come early today, it wouldn’t take long for these items to be gone from here."

Especially thinking of the fiery sales scene from yesterday, this made the young clerk even more confident.

Of course, about those things happening at the court, these people naturally would not know.

Not to mention these clerks, even these merchants currently present were unaware.

Upon hearing the clerk’s words, a realization dawned on the merchants.

Indeed, they had visited yesterday.

They had seen the booming sales for themselves.

With this understanding, the merchants looked at each other and then nodded slightly to one another. Seeing this, the middle-aged chubby leader immediately smiled broadly at the young man and said:

"Hehe, you’re absolutely right, young man. Since that’s the case, we won’t discuss the price anymore.

How about this, we will take this row and the next one, we want them all."

...This Chapter ends...
