The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth-Chapter 535 Learning the Art of Bargaining

It was time for students to be seen on campus doing morning exercises. following their daily routine.

Different from them, a boy could be seen sitting alone in his room. He was sitting with his legs crossed and his back straight.

Sunlight came out of the window beside him, making his face glow, but the boy remained as still as a stone.

acting as if he were a statue in this room, as silent as a void.

*Ring*

*Ring*

A sound came from the table near him. His eyelids suddenly opened as he looked at the table with a smile on his face.

It was as if he already knew that he would receive a call. He picked up his phone and saw that it was an unknown number.

"Hello! Mr. Shadow, are you still interested in the?deal?"The voice of an old man came from the other side.

"Which Deal?" I asked Rishi with a cheeky smile, acting as if he didn't know anything.

"Sir, did you forget you were interested in buying my shop?" came a tense voice from the other side.

"Oh! So it's you." Rishi said it in a surprised tone.

"Yup! It's me." The old man sighed in relief.

"I am sorry, Mr. Battu. I am not interested in that deal anymore. You were uncooperative and didn't give me a fair price; otherwise, we were very close for a deal." He said it in a higher tone as if blaming the other person.

"Ahem! Sir, the price I was asking was reasonable. You will not find any better deal."

"My shop may not be on Main Road, but it is still a crowded place. Even the thought of selling it would not have come to mind if it were not for the difficult situation I was facing." I added the old man in a sober tone.

'That's easy to guess.' Rishi thought in his mind.

"Mr. Battu I can understand your situation, and I am even willing to help you, but the price you are asking is unreasonable."

"This again," said Mr. Battu in an angry tone, but he controlled himself.

"Sir, the price I am asking for is perfectly reasonable; why would I ask for an unfair price?"

"Mr. Battu I think you are misunderstanding the situation. Getting your shop is not my priority right now; I have other things to take care?of."Rishi said it in a higher tone.

"Previously, I heard that someone was selling a shop, so I was interested, but now I have changed my mind. The deal with the other seller has reached the advanced stage; I would have thought about it if you were asking for something around 2500 mana stones."

"It's daylight robbery." She screamed at the man on the other side.

"The annual revenue of my shop is 700 mana stones. You think I am stupid enough to sell it at this low price?" He added.

"Ha ha!" laughed Rishi as if he had heard a joke.

"You can't fool me, Mr. Battu. Even at its peak three years ago, your shop only had a revenue of 600 magic stones."

'How did he know that?' said Mr. Battu as he wiped his sweat.

"For the previous three years, your shop has been in decline." His revenue had become half." He added. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"It's a huge risk to buy it right now."

"So what? The graph of revenue is never static; it rises and falls, moving like a wave. My shop will start making a profit again from next year until then; it will be too late." said the old man in a confident tone.

"Mr. Battu, Mr. Battu, you are a funny man. Who has seen tomorrow? I live in the present. I don't like to invest due to the fantasy of other people."

"How do you know about the revenue of my shop?" I asked Mr. Battu.

"I have my ways, Mr. Battu. 2500 Mana stones, and I am in."

"No way; I will be at a loss. How about 4500 mana stones? I am willing to take a step back." said Mr. Battu.

"2500 is my final price, deal or no deal," Rishi said it in a cold voice.

"4000 mana stones; anything less, I will be at a loss," said Mr. Battu as he gritted his teeth.

"See, Mr. Battu, you are a good man, so I am willing to take a little loss. How about 3000 mana stones?"

"No. No, anything less than 3800 is a crime." Mr. Battu bit his nails, as he said.

"Bye, Only call me when you are ready. I don't have time to waste chatting with you for hours." Rishi said as he canceled the call.

He put the phone gently on the table before sitting again for round two of his meditation.

Right now, he was low on funds; he had no choice but to learn how to bargain.

This is one of the most important skills for any businessman. You always want to have the best deal and to get that, you have no other choice than to bargain.

Time passed, and the sun was in the middle of the sky. It was already noon, but Rishi was still meditating, waiting patiently.

*Ring*

*Ring*

He opened his eyes and picked up his phone. He saw that it was the same number.

Still, instead of picking it up, he put his phone on silent and waited patiently.

Five minutes passed, and the phone had stopped ringing. It wasn't until then that it started ringing again.

This time Rishi picked it up: "It's you again. What's now?"

"Mr. Shadow, hear me for a second, said Mr. Battu.

"3,500 mana stones is my final price. Anything less, I will look for other buyers," said the old man in a determined tone.

"Okay." Replied Rishi.

"What?" Mr. Battu couldn't believe what he had heard. Did this thick-skinned bloodsucker really agree?

"I said we have a deal," said Rishi, "but I have a condition."

'As expected, thought Mr. Battu, but he controlled himself and asked, "What condition?"

"I want you to also add the open field behind the shop to the deal." Said Rishi.

Mr. Battu remained silent for some time as if thinking about it, but after a few seconds, he decided to agree.

"Alright."

"You made the right choice, Mr. Battu. I would also like you to inform the workers that they don't need to look for new jobs."

"Okay,"

They discussed some more things before Rishi hung up the call. He had a smile on his face.

He only had a budget of 4200 mana stones. Now that he had saved some money, he could use it to renovate the shop.

He wanted to make his shop famous, and while it might be a common saying that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, in real life, people often judge most things based on their looks.
