Chapter 44 (1/2)
Old Joe is a craftsman.
Old Joe, who had been a carpenter and a bricklayer in his early years, has excellent hands-on ability. In the early years, with the ability to carve walnuts, Leng was able to make money to build a two-story house and buy a car.
Old Joe couldn't do it when he was old.
Now old Joe doesn't carve any walnuts any more. He takes care of his grandson and granddaughter with his wife every day.
It's not easy to take care of the children, especially old Joe's grandsons and granddaughters go to primary school. They are naughty and pester him to buy toys.
Sun Tzu likes Yo Yo Yo, so he has to buy one.
Granddaughter likes Ba La little magic fairy. She cries and asks her grandfather to buy a magic fairy crystal chain. If she doesn't buy her, she will cry.
What a mess!
Old Joe knew in his heart that most of his grandchildren saw other people of the same age playing, which made him want to keep up with the Joneses.
But understand, Sun Tzu rolled on the ground like a wheel, granddaughter tugged at his sleeve, tearful looking at him, this is too difficult to resist.
On the day of the fair, he promised his grandson and granddaughter to bring them toys back. Old Qiao went to the County alone.
In the stationery shop in the county town, old Qiao saw his grandson crying for the photon spirit he had to buy, and the magic fairy crystal chain that his granddaughter was crying for and couldn't get
One 250, one 55!
Tortoise!
Old Joe didn't have much culture. At first sight of the price, he immediately scolded the shopkeeper on one side: ”you black hearted profiteer, how dare a lump of broken plastic sell so expensive?”
It's not the first time that the shopkeeper was misunderstood. He didn't get angry and explained with a smile: ”old man, this price is not set by me. It's negotiated by other factories. If you find something cheaper than this, I'll pay you ten times of the original price.”
Old Joe didn't believe the treacherous businessman.
He changed to a stationery store in front of the primary school.
Coincidentally, during the class, the stationery shop was cold and quiet, and the owner rushed out to greet old Joe: ”what can I do for you, old man? Do you want to buy a pencil case or a schoolbag for your child? I have just purchased a small magic fairy stationery box, fire young Wang Shubao, to ensure that your children like it
”Don't buy that! Do you sell toys here? ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile, ”which stationery store in this county does not sell toys?”
Stationery toys in one hand, students and children do not separate!
Old Joe nodded and asked the shopkeeper, ”how much do you sell that yo yo ball called photon elf?”
”Photon Sprite?”
The shopkeeper turned his eyes and replied, ”Oh! That's precious! The minimum is 9999 yuan! It's not easy to take the goods now. If I want to buy them here, I have to add 200 yuan. In this way, old man, if you really want, you can take away 10000 yuan! ”
That's ten thousand??
Old Joe was so scared that he was going to have a heart attack.
Today's primary school students, are facing a group of what kind of profiteer ah!
Before that profiteer sold a lump of plastic for 250 yuan, he thought it was very bad. Unexpectedly, there was something worse than him. This guy actually sold 10000 yuan?
”Profiteer! You are robbing... ”
Old Joe was so angry that his beard trembled and he wanted to strangle the nonsense shopkeeper.
The owner felt that he was wronged and said, ”what are you talking about, old man! I'm not a profiteer. This is the guiding price agreed by the factory! ”
Was it agreed by the factory again?
Old Joe sneered: ”you don't know what I'm old man, are you?”? Which manufacturer is so shameless to set such a fantastic price for a lump of plastic? ”
”There's such an old man as you said!”
From the safe under the cash register, the shopkeeper carefully takes out the ”treasure of Zhendian” photon spirit s.
The package clearly printed on the box suggested retail price: 9999 yuan!
Old Joe is stupid.
Where does Pengda come from?
Toys are so expensive that he doesn't want to sell them, or does he expect to make a fortune and run away?
