Dragon Master

Chapter 663 Pick Up the Call

Maximilian knew well what the stall keeper meant. If he was a man who knew little about jade, he might be fooled by the stall keeper. Even if he tried hard to bargain, the price would not change much.

If this man knew this industry well like Maximilian, there would be some room for negotiation and finally they would reach an agreement.

Since the stall keeper knew Maximilian was not a rookie, he gave up the idea of taking advantage of Maximilian.

“This piece of stone can make things, but the labor expenses will cost me lot. So I can only give you 100, what do you say?”

100 meant 1 million dollars. In the antique and jade industry, there were many special terms of price and this was one of it.

And some would even use vague size terms as small, middle, big to refer to ranges of price. For instance, small meant the numbers of 1 to 3; five meant 5 digits. So a small-five referred to the range between 10 thousand and 30 thousand.

This was once an argot in ancient time, but it gradually became a popular way of bargaining.

“100. Friend, that’s quite a generous discount.”

The stall keeper gritted as if he was in great pain.

Maximilian shook his head and said, “That’s enough. As it can produce is 3 million in value at most. If anything goes wrong in the process, the profit might be even less. If the labor and marketing expense are excluded, I might even suffer a loss.”

“You can’t be so pessimistic. This is the finest material, and will be very productive. Give me 150 and you can take it.”

While the stall keeper was speaking, a man who wore a pair of black-framed glasses came over and took a look at the jade. “This one is worth 1.5 million dollars?” He asked while shaking his head.
