Shu Yu saw that he was unwilling to let go and was secretly satisfied. He said slowly, “Mr. Guo, I can guarantee that this is the only one in our Dasu dynasty. Not to mention Mr. Guo, most people would know its value when they saw it, right?”
Mr. Guo nodded. He even felt that he couldn’t afford to pay too high a price for this thing in Jiangyuan County, so he should send it to the capital.
There were so many dignitaries in the capital, so many people would like this kind of clear mirror that could even reflect the slightest flaw.
However, at this moment, he still forcefully suppressed the amazement in his heart. He put down the mirror and said gently and calmly, “This mirror is indeed a good thing. I wonder how much the customer will bid?”
“I should say, how much do you plan to bid?”
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak first, Mr. Guo fell silent for a moment and began to measure the value of the mirror.
After a while, he said, “I won’t lie to you. How about this, our black market bids 10,000 taels.”
Shu Yu smiled. “You guys don’t seem to be sincere. This thing is imported. Putting everything else aside, the manpower, material resources, and energy spent to transport it over from afar are unimaginable. Not to mention, this was the only glass mirror in the entire Dasu dynasty. Yes, I just didn’t want to waste too much effort, so I brought the glass mirror to your side to sell. If you don’t want it, I’ll take it back. At most, I’ll sell it in the capital. Although the journey is a little far, it should be worth it.”
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she was about to take the mirror.
“Please wait a moment.” Mr. Guo quickly reached out and pressed the mirror down. He smiled and said, “You’re in a hurry. It’s normal to bargain in this business. If the customer is not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again, right?”
“Of course, there’s no problem in discussing, but we can’t be too insincere.”
Mr. Guo knew that she was not easy to fool. He did want this mirror, and he had even expected the commotion that would be caused when the mirror was taken out.
Mr. Guo pursed his lips and said, “20,000 taels is the most I can offer. To be honest, if the black market accepted this mirror, it would be put up for auction. This auction was always risky.”
Moreover, it was not an auction, so it was normal for the price to be lowered.
Shu Yu smiled and extended three fingers. “Thirty thousand taels. I’ll leave this mirror here.”
“You must be joking. Thirty thousand taels is such a large amount, I can’t make the decision.”
“Then forget it.”
“Wait a minute.” Mr. Guo felt a headache coming on. The customer in front of him was too difficult to talk to. “How about this? Can I ask for instructions?”
“How long will it take?” Shu Yu frowned.
“Three days.”
Three days? This was too long. She still had to come back in three days. Who knew what would happen in between?
Shu Yu didn’t want to complicate things. “What’s the maximum authority you can make decisions?”
“Twenty-five thousand.” Mister Guo’s eyes flashed.
Shu Yu shook her head. “Twenty-eight thousand. This is my biggest concession. If Mr. Guo can’t make the decision, then I’m sorry. I’ll ship it to the capital.”
As he spoke, Shu Yu put the glass mirror back into the silk bag and closed the box.
Mr. Guo had been watching her movements. Seeing that she was very agile and did not hesitate to tie the box on her back, he finally sighed and said, “Okay, 28,000 it is.”
