[Chapter 1002 Fake Squid]

It turns out that this short foreign businessman often goes to Jingzhou for business and has stayed in Jingzhou for a long time, so he is quite familiar with Jingzhou and can speak Anguo dialect. However, his boss, Mr. Ollie, I had just arrived in Anguo not long ago, so I couldn’t speak Anguo dialect yet, so I had to let this short Fanbang do the translation.

Because their hometown was too cold, they passed by Ruzhou and heard that cotton-padded clothes were cheap in Ruzhou, so they went to Zhoujia Clothing Factory and ordered all their cotton-padded clothes.

However, there were too few cotton clothes at Zhoujia Cloth Shop, so Ollie was not satisfied and came to Qujia Cloth Shop again.

Hearing what was going on, and the clerk next to him also whispered in the ear of the owner of Quzhuang, he realized that the news that Ollie and others suspected that Zhoujia Cloth Factory had too few cotton clothes had spread in the city, so the clerk told him Tell the owner of Quzhuang what you heard and let him judge.

After hearing this, the owner of Quzhuang frowned, and quickly invited these foreign businessmen from the counter into the side room behind the cloth shop, and ordered the tea to be served.

After sitting down, the owner of Quzhuang asked with a smile: “I wonder how many cotton coats Mr. Ollie is planning to buy?”

The short foreign businessman chirped to Mr. Ollie, and then Mr. Ollie chirped again. After saying this, the short Fanbang turned to him and said, “Master Qu, we… Oli told the gentleman, the more the merrier!”

“…”

For some reason, that Oli kept talking to the gentleman. Although he couldn’t understand what he was saying, the owner of Quzhuang could always hear the word “Fake Squid” in these words, and he was still thinking in his heart, what exactly does “Fake Squid” mean in this Chinese dialect? What does it mean?

“Mr. Aolijie, to tell you the truth, our Qujia Cloth Store is the largest cloth store in Ruzhou City. We have as many cotton-padded clothes as we want. Can Mr. Aoligei want them all?”

The two of them chattered again. The owner of Quzhuang heard “Fake Squid” three times and “Whote” four times in this sentence, and when Mr. Ollie said it to him with a smile like this, he always felt uncomfortable, and he didn’t know why. .

The short Fanbang translator first said: “Master Quzhuang, how did I hear that the largest cloth shop in Ruzhou City is Zhoujia Cloth Factory? So we went to Zhoujia Cloth Factory first, but they didn’t have enough cotton clothes there, so we Come here! Zhoujia Clothing Factory doesn’t have enough cotton clothes, but yours is enough?”

The owner of Quzhuang was not happy after hearing this: “Zhoujia Clothing Factory was the largest cloth shop in Ruzhou before! “The largest cloth shop in Ruzhou City is our Qujia Cloth Shop! And our cotton clothes are much better than Zhoujia Cloth Shop, and the quantity is much larger!”

Fan Bang translated to Mr. Ollie, and Ollie showed it. He glanced at the owner of Quzhuang and said something in a jittery voice.

“Master Quzhuang, we, Oli, told our husband that it doesn’t matter which of you is the biggest cloth store, because we only need to buy cotton-padded clothes. If you have enough cotton-padded clothes, we will buy them all!”

After listening, the owner of Quzhuang said, Instead of nodding in agreement immediately, he asked with a smile: “Mr. Ollie, what is the price of the cotton clothes you asked about at Zhoujia Cloth Factory?”

The short translator replied directly: “We asked, the shopkeeper there Talking about the cotton-padded clothes of Zhoujia Cloth Factory, they used to cost 500 yuan a piece, but for the sake of Mr. Oli’s sake, we are going to sell them to us for half the price, 250 yuan!”

Upon hearing this, Master Qu said, He laughed directly: “What a Zhou Ziqiong, what a Zhou Jia Bufang!”

“What’s wrong, Master Qu?”

“I’m laughing because Zhou Jia Bufang sees that you are foreigners, so they will lie to you! Theirs Why do you sell cotton clothes for 250 cents? I’m obviously treating you as fools!”

“…”

As soon as he said this, Mr. Oli was fine, but the short translator’s face turned dark because he could understand Anguo dialect.

“Master Quzhuang, how dare you scold our Mr. Olligei? Our Mr. Olligei is an honored guest of His Majesty Anguo…”

“No, no!”

Master Quzhuang waved his hand quickly: “Mr. Olligei, but It’s not me who’s scolding you, it’s Zhou Jia Bufang who’s scolding you! Because in our Anguo proverb, two hundred and fifty means half-baked. Zhou Jia Bufang’s selling you two hundred and fifty coins is obviously because he thinks you’re stupid

! When Fanbang, the short man, translated for Oli, the owner of Quzhuang said again: “It’s true that the cotton-padded clothes in Zhoujia Bufang sold for 500 yuan, but that was before! Now the price of cotton-padded clothes in Zhoujia Cloth Factory has been reduced to 60 yuan. One piece, and she asks you for two hundred and fifty pieces, isn’t she just cheating you?”

At this point, the owner of Quzhuang was overjoyed.

He finally understood. Zhou Ziqiong saw the foreign merchants going to buy cotton clothes from them, and felt that the opportunity had come, but she didn’t dare to sell it at the original price, so she sold it for 250 renminbi. Although it was a loss, it was better than 60 renminbi. One piece, the loss is much less!

It’s okay that the owner of Quzhuang doesn’t know. Since he knows, he will definitely not let them succeed!

“What? What I said is serious!”

“Serious! If you don’t believe it, you can go to Zhoujia Clothing Factory to confront them! Or you can just bring in any ordinary people, and you will get the same answer!”

“…”

The short Fanbang was stunned for a moment. , and then started chatting to Mr. Ollie in a gibberish voice. After hearing this, Ollie became furious.

“Fake Squid! Fake Squid! Fake Squid!”

“…”

At this time, the owner of Quzhuang was really stunned.

What is going on with this “Fake Squid”?

Why does Ollie talk louder when he is happy and even louder when he is unhappy?

The most important thing is that he looked at himself and said it, which made Master Qu feel uncomfortable.

After he finished speaking, the short Fanbang translated: “We, Mr. Oli, are very angry. We plan to go to Jingzhou to accuse them in front of your Majesty An Guo, and then their cloth shop will be closed down!”

“Okay, okay, okay. ah!”

The owner of Quzhuang clapped his hands and smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, as long as you don’t buy their cotton clothes, even if you don’t go to Jingzhou to file a complaint, the Zhou family cloth shop will not be able to run for two days!

The short man Fanbang asked again: “Master Qujia, a cotton coat from Zhoujia Cloth Factory costs sixty cents, what about your Qujia Cloth Shop?”

The owner of Qujia Cloth Shop smiled and said, “We are even better than Zhoujia Cloth Shop.” It’s ten cents cheaper, fifty cents a piece!”

The price has to be reduced anyway, so the owner of Quzhuang simply lowered the price again at this time. After hearing this excitement from Mr. Oli, he gave the owner of Quzhuang another slap in the face.

However, Fanbang merchants were obviously business veterans. After hearing the price, they still shook their heads: “Master Qu, you sell fifty cents a piece to ordinary people, but you do business with us, and we still buy them all, how can you do that?” How about selling another one for fifty cents? As long as we

have

a happy cooperation this time, we can have a more long-term and happy cooperation in the future!”
