Chapter 10 - Chapter 10 Using Retreat as Advance, Bargaining!

Yu Dongdong left three winning bottle caps.

He found three wooden stoppers for Jiang Tao to re-cork the wine bottles.

"I'm leaving, Boss Yu."

Jiang Tao waved goodbye to Yu Dongdong with a smile, carrying three boxes of wine out of the supermarket.

He had just walked less than ten meters from the door when Jiang Tao saw a familiar face approaching.

"Yo, Xiao Jiang, you didn't go out to work today? You came here to buy wine, are you having guests at home?"

The speaker was a tall grandpa with silver-gray curly hair and a ruddy complexion.

The grandpa's name was Lu Qian, and he was Jiang Tao's uncle landlord.

Although Grandpa Lu was already 70 years old this year, his body and mental state were very good.

He received a retirement pension of 16,000 to 17,000 yuan a month.

The tenement building he owned could also collect more than 30,000 yuan in rent per month.

The income of a seventy-year-old grandpa was more than that of seven or eight young men.

Beijing's per capita income is so high, Grandpa Lu and other retirees have contributed a lot.

The grandpa usually had nothing to do, and every day he smoked, drank, permed his hair, walked his bird, and fought crickets, living a more comfortable life than young people.

"How could I have any guests? I just bought a few bottles of wine when I bought cigarettes, and I'm about to go to work."

Jiang Tao greeted the uncle landlord with a smile and prepared to leave.

"Oh, isn't this Qinghualang? Not bad, Xiao Jiang, have you made a fortune recently? The grade of your drinking has improved a lot!"

The uncle landlord glanced at the wine boxes showing through the bag Jiang Tao was carrying, and they were indeed the Qinghualang he usually liked to drink!

Jiang Tao's heart suddenly moved after hearing the grandpa's words.

Everyone who had rented a house from the uncle landlord for a few years knew that he loved to drink wine.

Moreover, the uncle landlord was not short of money, and the wine he drank was at least several hundred yuan a bottle.

In the grandpa's words, he was already 70 this year, how many more years would he have to live?

In the future, he would eat well, drink well, play well, and enjoy the rest of his life!

Of course, he also had the capital to enjoy it.

Jiang Tao's parents were also over 60 years old this year.

The old couple took the foreman's van to work at four or five in the morning every day, and didn't return home until dark.

They worked hard all month, earning only about five thousand yuan, which was not even more than the change from the uncle landlord's retirement pension.

Some people are born in Rome, and some people are born as beasts of burden.

Similarly, they were both villagers, but the village in Beijing and the village in Jiang Tao's hometown were very different.

"Grandpa, let's go over there, I have a few words to say to you."

Jiang Tao said, signaling the uncle landlord to go aside to talk.

"So mysterious."

The uncle landlord followed Jiang Tao a few steps forward with a puzzled look, and the two stopped at an alley entrance.

"Grandpa, these three boxes of Qinghualang in my hand were just bought from Boss Yu, you can ask him if you don't believe me."

"Except for scanning the QR code inside the bottle cap to redeem the prize, I haven't touched this wine at all."

"I have already redeemed the prize from the QR code in the bottle cap, now it is just three ordinary bottles of wine."

"If you don't mind that it has been opened, I will sell it to you cheaply."

Jiang Tao didn't waste any words with the uncle landlord and went straight to the point.

"Oh? How cheap?"

The uncle landlord looked very interested.

For true Qinghualang wine lovers, the sweepstakes activity was just a small bonus.

Even without this activity, those who liked this taste would still buy it.

Moreover, the winning rate was so pitiful.

Ordinary people may not win a second prize even if they buy it ten times.

99.99% of the time, they win the third prize, a 100ML trial bottle.

Only a cheat like Jiang Tao can win the first prize three times in a row.

Instead of betting on that pitiful winning rate, it's better to have a price discount that's more practical!

As for saying it's already been opened, for true wine lovers, this is not a problem at all.

Good bulk wine still sells for several hundred yuan a catty!

Jiang Tao thought for a while and said, "3 bottles only cost 2700, which is almost a 60% discount for you!"

The uncle landlord's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang Tao's offer.

If he could buy three bottles of Qinghualang at a 60% discount, he could save more than 2,000 yuan!

The uncle landlord pondered for a few seconds and held up two fingers to Jiang Tao: "I'll take it for 2000."

"Grandpa, you can't bargain like that! You're killing me!"

"I spent 4500 to buy three bottles, and you're cutting it in half!"

Jiang Tao covered the food bag in his hand, with a humiliated look on his face, his acting skills were superb.

The uncle landlord stepped back and said, "2100, no more."

"2600, no less!"

Jiang Tao also used retreat as advance, grasping the measure just right.

"How about we each give in a step? I'll add a little, you subtract a little, a fixed price of 2300!"

"Grandpa, you're rich and powerful, do you care about this little bit! I'll also give you a sincere number, 2400!"

"Alright, alright! 2400 it is, let me check the goods first."

The uncle landlord was too lazy to argue with Jiang Tao about the hundred yuan, and smiled as he reached out to take the bag containing the wine boxes to check the goods.

He bargained with Jiang Tao just to enjoy the fun of bargaining.

Jiang Tao bargained with him for the sake of life.

400 yuan was enough to buy a better down jacket for his daughter.

Selling 3 bottles of Qinghualang for 2400 yuan, which was twice the price given by Boss Yu at the supermarket, was completely acceptable to Jiang Tao.

Originally, he was thinking of keeping it for himself to drink.

However, when he thought that his family was still burdened with 80,000 to 90,000 yuan in debt, he wavered again.

What kind of family are we, drinking wine that costs more than 1,000 yuan!

Enjoying life is not now, let's pay off the family's debts first!

"The wine is fine! Come on, Xiao Jiang, I'll scan you."

The uncle landlord usually drank a lot of Qinghualang, and he could tell the authenticity with a sniff of his nose.

Moreover, he had been dealing with Jiang Tao for more than six years, and he also believed in Jiang Tao's character, believing that he would not use fake wine to deceive an old comrade like himself.

"Okay, you can scan here."

Jiang Tao smiled and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, directly reversing the back, so that the uncle landlord could scan the WeChat collection code in his mobile phone case.

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, what prizes did you win for these three bottles?"

The grandpa said, and with a ding, scanned Jiang Tao's collection code, and directly entered the amount of 2400.

[WeChat collection of 2400 yuan!]

Hearing the sound of the collection broadcast, Jiang Tao was happy, this was much better than Ashin's ten-beat E6!

Jiang Tao replied with a smile: "I also won three first prizes."

"Three first prizes? What are you dreaming of, kid!"

The uncle landlord smiled and shook his head.

He didn't believe that Jiang Tao had won three first prizes.

He just asked casually, and if Jiang Tao didn't want to say, he was too lazy to get to the bottom of it.

Anyway, no matter what prize he won, it had nothing to do with him.

He spent 2400 yuan to buy 3 bottles of Qinghualang from Jiang Tao, saving more than 2000 yuan.

For a true Qinghualang wine lover like him, it was also very affordable!

"Haha, if you don't believe it, forget it, I'm going to work, bye bye ~"

Jiang Tao waved goodbye to the grandpa, turned and walked towards the outside of the village.

"This young man is daydreaming, is the first prize so easy to win?"

"I've drunk dozens of bottles, and I've only won one second prize."

The uncle landlord watched Jiang Tao's receding back, smiling and shaking his head, insisting that Jiang Tao was joking with him.

...

Not far from the uncle landlord, inside the Pang Dongdong Supermarket.

Yu Dongdong saw that Jiang Tao was very lucky today, and scanned three first prizes in a row.

His heart couldn't help but be a little eager to try.

So, he reopened a new box of Qinghualang, and selected two bottles from it to start scanning the code.

[Congratulations, you have won the third prize!]

[Congratulations, you have won the third prize!]

The result, as expected, was no surprise.

Yu Dongdong scanned two bottles and both won the 100% winning rate third prize.

Happily won two bottles of 100ML trial Qinghualang.

"Why is the gap between people so big..."

Yu Dongdong slumped on the chair, and never wanted to challenge the winning rate again!
