Chapter 358: Price Discrepancy

Liu Hui was instantly surprised and asked in disbelief, “Boss, you said the wrong price, didn’t you?”

“The exchange rate of RMB to US dollars is around 6.5.” Fearing that Yuan Zhou didn’t know that, Liu Hui specially added.

“I know, thank you. This is just the price for you.” Yuan Zhou revealed a serious expression and didn’t seem to be joking.

“Boss, your price is not correct. You check it by yourself.” Liu Hui took out the menu and handed it to Yuan Zhou.

“Yes. I receive RMB for our fellow countrymen and US dollars for foreigners. It’s marked behind.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the mark of US dollars behind that of RMB on the menu and said lightly.

“Hey, man. What do you mean? So I have to pay more than others just because I’m an American?” In the intermittent translation of Liu Hui, Jack basically understood what was happening. Thus, he said discontentedly.

“Because I’m a Chinese.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and then said, “Naturally, I will offer convenience to my fellow countrymen.”

Once he said that, the restaurant fell in silence instantly. His word seemed to make sense but at the same time, not make sense, making people unaware of what reactions they should make.

“This is deceitful pricing if you do that.” Liu Hui said quite indignantly.

“My restaurant marks the prices of the dishes clearly.” Yuan Zhou signaled him to look at the menu on the wall behind and in front of them.

[The restaurant accepts only RMB and US dollars. Foreign friends please use US dollars. The exchange rate between US dollars and RMB is 1:1. Should you have any queries concerning the price, please keep the queries to yourself under the boss’s explanation. Thank you for your cooperation. Wishing you the best.]

All these words could be summarized in one word, “This is my price. If you accept, you eat; if you don’t, please leave.”

After they checked, they found it really couldn’t be called cheating. The Bureau of Commodity Price regulated that as long as you stated the price clearly and didn’t sell by force, there was nothing to report.

But what the hell was the meaning of “Please keep the queries to yourself under the boss’s explanation.”? It was simply funny to say “wish them the best”. They were now very unhappy.

Having been stupefied for a little while, Liu Hui said, “Then this is the price discrimination. Boss, you are discriminating against Americans.” He could find nothing more to say and only said a word after quite a while.

“Not really.” Yuan Zhou shook his head seriously, “I’m treating all foreign friends equally, but I just care about the feelings of my fellow countrymen more.”

He treated all foreign friends equally, so the exchange rate was set 1:1. Liu Hui felt that the blue veins were standing out on his forehead.

“Jack, do you still want to eat here? I feel this boss is overcharging us.” Liu Hui didn’t talk to Yuan Zhou anymore. Instead, he turned his head and asked Jack.

“Yes, of course I will eat here. I don’t know much about your laws, but I know we can’t sue him because of that. However, if the dishes don’t deserve the price, I will definitely make his restaurant bankrupt.” Jack said mercilessly.

“The restaurant doesn’t seem to be connected to the internet.” Liu Hui looked around the restaurant and complained.

“I will make complaints level by level. He must get prepared if he wants to cheat my money.” There was full of dissatisfaction in Jack’s tone.

“Actually, we can go to the neighboring restaurant. It looks really nice.” Liu Hui remembered the western-style restaurant that was exquisitely decorated beside this one.

“No. I will stay here to eat today.” Jack fished out the wallet and took out the right amount of money.

“Hey, here’s the money.” Jack uttered the several words in Chinese.

Although he stumbled over them, Yuan Zhou understood him.

“One moment, please. The dishes are to be served very soon.” Yuan Zhou received the US dollars with a special tray and checked solemnly before he poured them into the cash box.

Yuan Zhou was actually unable to distinguish if they were fake or not, but he had to pretend that he knew that.

“Jack, we don’t need to. We can go to the other restaurant to eat.” Liu Hui said helplessly.

“No, no, no. I must taste the dishes here. They are said to be very delicious on the internet.” Jack’s tone was full of sarcasm.

“Do we have to?” Liu Hui asked again.

“Yes.” Jack nodded his head affirmatively.

Then, Liu Hui really got helpless. In his helplessness, there was also a feeling of shame.

In his opinion, Jack was an American and came to his own country for the first time, but he was surprisingly cheated on the very first meal.
