Chapter 560: Bargaining
Qin Ge rolled his eyes at Ming Shi who was standing opposite him. "The Ring of Promise is not love, and love is priceless. If you can buy love with only 600 red coins, it would be too easy.
So I'll give it a 50% discount, 600 red coins."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Six hundred red tips are just the price for a ring of promise. And when you pay such a price, don't you feel heartbroken, meow?" Akashi shook his head immediately.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "You should know that I am a big customer. You see, other merchants basically offer buy one get one free or various discounts when they meet big customers.
This is all to keep the business going and sustainable, you should know this, right? "
"Even if you're a big customer, I can't give you a 50% discount, otherwise I'll lose money!" Mingshi shook his head and said, "The most I can give you is 1,198 red coins."
Hearing Mingshi's words, Qin Ge couldn't help but roll his eyes. "How dare you say one thousand one hundred and ninety-eight red tips? It's only two red tips cheaper. Do you call this a discount?
You know, my Pound Meow has been researching for you. I believe you will have research results soon, right? I fully sponsored you before, but now it is only worth these two red tips?"
"Ahem..." Akashi said awkwardly, "Let's put things in perspective. Commander-neko, if my research succeeds, can't you just buy them at a lower price next time, meow?"
"Cheaper, then how much cheaper? Will it be the same as this time, only two red tips or two supplies cheaper?" Qin Ge asked back.
"Of course not, meow." Akashi waved his hand quickly, "I am a man of integrity."
"I don't believe it." Qin Ge shook his head and said, "How about this, seven hundred red pointed ones."
"No, at least one thousand one hundred and ninety red pointed cats." Mingshi said to Qin Ge.
"I raise the price by a hundred each time, and you lower it by eight each time?" Qin Ge looked at Mingshi speechlessly.
"Different meow!" Akashi said hurriedly.
"We have a big deal coming up, and I believe you value it, because it's the basis of our business. So you'd better show your qualities as a great businessman, or I'll go to Donghuang to trade.
I believe that with Donghuang and I having a good foundation, and with some effort, we will definitely be able to get some useful information from Yixian." Qin Ge said to Mingshi.
Although Mingshi knew that what Qin Ge said was just a way to get her to lower the price, she was still worried that Qin Ge would do so.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Eleven hundred red tips, it can't be any cheaper, meow."
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Eight hundred red pointed ones."
Akashi immediately jumped up, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Qin Ge grinned, "No way. We can talk about it again. Isn't that what it means to negotiate a price? You take a step back and I take a step back, and finally we come up with a price that both parties feel is more suitable."
"Commander Qin Ge, has anyone ever told you that you are really good at bargaining?" Akashi said helplessly.
Qin Ge chuckled, "There's nothing we can do. Our fleet is so short of supplies right now. If we don't save money, how can we develop the fleet?
Besides, I will have to pay for everything I buy from you, including materials and intelligence. If I don’t calculate carefully, I will lose all my savings, and that will be the end of me.”
Akashi rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Then one thousand red tips. If the price drops further, I won't sell it, meow."
Qin Ge looked at Mingshi's expression. It was obvious that Mingshi had reached his bottom line at this moment. It was useless to say more, so he nodded very readily.
"Okay, one thousand red pointed tips is one thousand red pointed tips."
Then, Qin Ge nodded to Saint Louis who was laughing at the side. Saint Louis saw this and immediately took out the box containing the red tips from the ship's space, opened it, counted out a thousand red tips and handed them to Akashi.
Mingshi handed Qin Ge two boxes containing oath rings.
After Qin Ge took the box containing the oath ring and opened it, he saw a diamond ring inside, which was emitting a sparkling brilliance. Seeing this scene , St. Louis was also attracted by the brilliance of the ring.
"Commander Qin Ge, how is it, not bad, right?" Mingshi said to Qin Ge, whose eyes were attracted by the Ring of Oath.
Qin Ge nodded, "Indeed, it's a beautiful ring. But can it really increase the strength of the ship girl?"
Mingshi looked at Qin Ge with a puzzled look on his face, "Commander Qin Ge, has anyone ever told you that you are weird, meow?"
"Ah?" Qin Ge looked at Ming Shi in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Akashi explained, "The first thing people ask me when they get the Ring of Promise is, does giving a ship girl the Ring of Promise count as marriage? Even many strength fans say this.
But you are looking at this glittering oath ring and asking if it will increase the strength of the ship girl?"
Qin Ge said awkwardly, "If you are in love, you can get married even without a vow ring, even with the most ordinary ring.
But I have always heard that the Ring of Oath is also a ship outfit that can enhance the strength of the ship girl, so I asked you. "
"Of course." Akashi nodded. "When Commander Qin Ge was in Sakura Empire, he should have seen the trust tester I made, right?"
"Yes." Qin Ge nodded.
"The more trust the ship girl has in her commander, the stronger her strength will be. Can Commander Qin Ge understand this, meow?" Akashi said.
"Well, indeed, trust is the basis of everything." Qin Ge said.
"So even without the Ring of Oath, as long as the ship girl has extreme trust in the commander, that is to say, the degree of love, it will increase the ship girl's own strength.
The Ring of Promise is more like a medium, which can materialize the feeling of love and greatly increase the strength of the ship girl.
Of course, reaching love is not the pinnacle of trust.
If the trust value represented by love is 100, then the ship girl without the Ring of Oath can only reach 100 at most, but the ship girl with the Ring of Oath can reach 200.
At that time, the strength of the ship girl can be increased by more than 10%, and it will be an all-round increase. "Akashi explained.
Qin Ge nodded, "So that's how it is."
Akashi said with a grin, "So Commander Qin Ge is going to make a vow with that ship girl? With our relationship, I can make you a wedding dress for the vow for free, meow."
"Really?" Qin Ge looked at Mingshi in disbelief.
"Of course, just tell me your name and I will give it to you soon. It's almost the Donghuang New Year these two days, which is also a very festive day. If we can hold a wedding at this time, wouldn't it be double happiness?" Mingshi tempted.
Qin Ge coughed, "Glorious."
"Got it, meow!"
