Story of Longevity

v3 Chapter 604: In order to buy a thin book, I am willin

One of the experience of negotiation technique——

When you want to make requests and applications to your boss, or unfamiliar customers, or business partners, if you know in advance that the possibility of rejection is high, you can’t make your real request right away. .

First raise the price and put forward some more outrageous requirements, and then slowly bargain and lower the price. In this way, your original real goal may be dismissed by the net.

The other party can also get a feeling of [I earned it].

However, these are just ideals, the other party is not a fool, and will never make a decision that exceeds his bottom line, and it is impossible to completely lose sight of the strategy here.

Therefore, it is a very happy thing to be successful in negotiations. It is a very happy thing regardless of interest and gains and losses.

So, the clock tower professors who can successfully negotiate with the Ministry must be very happy, right? Must have opened a bottle of champagne on the night the fourteenth application proposal was passed?

However, the problem is that apart from alcohol and white powder, there are not many things that can give people happiness...and there are not many people who can get happiness...

………

For example, the man in front of Xingke is destined to be unable to negotiate successfully and to obtain happiness.

………

The time goes back more than half an hour ago.

After Star Carving and they took their seats, [Dementor] was already considered a big piece. After that, the auction items on the market are all small characters-

What solidified the portrait of the soul of a famous singer, what was the golden snitch caught by a famous Quidditch superstar in history, what was the handwritten notes of an alchemist who was powerfully sealed... etc. things such as unknown things, star carvings These are no interest at all...

"eighty."

A slender young voice suddenly appeared in the bidding sound that was almost always a strong male voice.

Just now, there was a moment of silence in the court where the bidding was quite intense, and even the hammer holder on the bidding stage hesitated for a moment.

It's just that a staff member appeared in time behind the curtain of the stage, and what message was conveyed to the ear of the hammer holder, which dispelled the worries of the hammer holder.

"Oh! Eighty! The sealed note suddenly increased by twenty. It seems that this gentleman is bound to win, and..."

It's worthy of being a professional, not afraid of the cold, and also want to re-hot the scene.

Seeing that the hammer holder had no worries, the bidders in the audience could only ignore the youngness of the voice in the front row.

"……eighty-one."

The man who had just made the first bid bid again.

"Eighty-four."

The voice of an old man immediately increased the price.

"ninety."

Star Carved very calmly raised its hand to increase the price.

"ninety one."

There was a moment of hesitation in the old man's voice.

"hundred."

But Xingke did not waver, even if Ilia was poking his wand in his back, he did not waver.

"One hundred, now the price is one hundred! Is there any gentleman or lady who bid higher?"

However, this time, no one in the audience made a sound anymore.

One million pounds is like a watershed, surpassing everyone's bottom line of price.

A little bit of time passed, and the hammer holder on the stage saw that he had been talking to himself for a long time. There was already someone who was specifically targeting such a commodity and got up and left the stage. Say anything more, started a fixed three drop hammers——

"One hundred, once..."

"One hundred, twice..."

"One hundred...three times."

After the hammer fell for the third time, the bearer bowed very gracefully to the audience and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this afternoon's auction is over, thank you for your support and attention.

The evening show will start on time at 18 o'clock. Before that, please stay in the rest area and enjoy..."

Well, the fact is that almost no one will listen to what he is saying, everyone has already begun to leave.

It's just that Xing Ke, who is sitting in the first row, is not very worried.

"Guise, you bought such a thin notebook for a million... Is there anything strange about that thin notebook?"

There is no one in the auction room anymore, Illya asked with her hood off.

Just now Xingke suddenly raised his hand and shouted, and

"Oh? I don't know? I haven't got the goods yet." Xingke asked rhetorically with a look of course.

"What? Brother, don't you see the value of that lot?"

"There is a seal on it, so far away, what can I see?"

"...Well, I know." Illia sighed, feeling that she had asked extra things: "Diana, leave him alone. He is like this. When you encounter unknown knowledge, you can't control your hands. , This time the auction is just right for his appetite..."

"Isn't that of course?! ~ Unknown things always make people excited, not buying is not a magician!"

Xingke speaks the correct theory very confidently.

"Well, go and pay, and then lead your unknown away!"

"Ah, little Gith! Is it really the suspicious notebook you took?" At this moment, Mrs. Lena's voice came from behind, and in the next moment she held the star carving in her arms.

"Um...good evening, my grandmother."

Xingke broke away from Rena's embrace, stood up, smiled and replied:

"Well, yes, I took it. According to my father's teachings, as a magician, I will never miss every opportunity to learn unknown knowledge."

"Well, you are more and more like your father. I think he was also a brave boy who could deal with dangerous magicians for new books..." Sherlock who followed Rena also took off his pocket. Hat, showing a look of appreciation.

It's just that Xingke's teeth tickled when he heard what he said——

Obviously, it was Sherlock who could see that Star Carving liked books, so when he wanted to ask Star Carving to do something~lightnovelpub.net~, he used various books as a bargaining chip, OK?

Now in the story, it has become Xingke's initiative to ask to be a brave boy...

"As expected to be that man's son, he really has the style of your father..."

At this time, the third person who came here behind Rena and Sherlock took off his hood while speaking.

"Long time no see, Ms. Einzbern, it seems that time has not left you any trace."

"...Shobyin Ogu Speaker?" Ilia hesitated for a moment and recognized Chishua, who was quite old.

"Teacher Dean?! Are you here too?" Diana was surprised.

"Cavin, no, here are a bunch of Cavendish, Diana, is your vacation still happy?"

"Where, Teacher Dean, I will return to school soon after the mundane affairs are finished."

"Well, don't worry, our schoolwork is not demanding on time arrangements."

Then, Kishua turned his gaze to the goal he had always been, squinted and smiled:

"So... the first time I met, Jisforgo Cavendish Jr., my name is..."

"I don't want to hear you, goodbye..."

"……Ugh?"
