Elder brother's garrison

Page 2624

"Ouch, Brother Li, be gentle!"

The two companions who were kicked in the butt immediately covered their backsides, hopped and skipped out of the shop, and stood guard at the shop entrance.

Xiaobai glanced back at the shop assistants who looked like two door gods outside the door, then looked away and met the eyes of the shop assistant in front of her, who was called Brother Li.

Brother Li had a big smile on his face, looking like he was extremely kind and couldn't refuse his hospitality.

Xiao Bai smiled at Brother Li.

"Thank you uncle."

"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome. What would you like to pick out, young customer?" Brother Li said.

"I want to pick out a birthday present for my mom," Xiaobai said to Brother Li. "My mom likes photography, and I want to buy her a camera."

"Oh... cameras, cameras again." Brother Li nodded, and immediately gave Xiaobai a welcoming smile. "You've come to the right place. Our cameras are of very high quality. We just sold one this morning, and it received rave reviews."

"Really."

"Of course, I'd be a dog if I lied to you," Brother Li laughed.

"Okay, okay." Xiaobai smiled too.

Xiaobai walked to the counter.

The cameras on this counter are all priced, and they're all quite affordable, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Compared to those super expensive photography equipment, they're all very reasonable.

Xiao Bai felt that these were probably not fakes, but genuine cameras with corresponding value.

Xiao Bai reached out through the glass cabinet.

"How does it go, little customer?" Brother Li said with a smile. "If you're not satisfied, I have other things here that are also great for gifts."

Chapter 3686 There's another trick up his sleeve.

"The price of these cameras..." Xiaobai asked Brother Li.

"What, you think it's too high?" Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, a well-hidden displeasure flashed deep in Brother Li's eyes, and his voice suddenly turned cold. "If you don't have money, this is the cheapest one in our store."

"I have money," Xiaobai shook his head.

Finally, as if to prove himself, Xiaobai reached into his wallet and pulled out a shiny bank card.

"This is all the New Year's money I've saved since I was a child, it's tens of thousands of yuan." Xiaobai held the bank card in both hands and showed an innocent expression to Brother Li.

"Oh? Tens of thousands? That's fine too." When Brother Li saw Xiaobai's bank card, his eyes lit up for a moment, and then his face put on a gentle and warm smile again. "Oh, little customer, you should have said so earlier... You want to pick out a birthday gift for your mother, right? In that case, what's in this cabinet isn't quite suitable. We do have some items that are more suitable as a birthday gift for you."

Brother Li led Xiaobai to the counter just to check her background and see how much "profit" he could squeeze out of her.

Now that Xiaobai has taken out his bank card and claimed to have tens of thousands of yuan in it, Brother Li said that he could skip this probing step and start setting a trap for Xiaobai.

Ok……

As for whether there's any money in that card...

Li Ge wasn't sure either, but she sensed an air of nobility emanating from the white-haired girl in front of her, as if she frequently dealt with large sums of money. She looked incredibly wealthy, and who knew, she might be some rich heiress.

The probability that there is money in that bank card is very, very high.

How many good cameras do you have in your shop?

In front of Brother Li, Xiao Bai put away the bank card and looked up to ask.

Brother Li watched with a pang of heartache as Xiaobai put her bank card back into her wallet, as if his own money had been taken away.

"Our store... has quite a few good cameras, but the good ones usually have to wait..." Brother Li said to Xiaobai, then raised his eyes and winked at the shop assistant behind him.

The shop assistants understood immediately. They quietly got up, went into the back of the shop, and disappeared behind the door.

After the shop assistant disappeared, Brother Li's enthusiasm for Xiaobai increased even further. He stopped trying to sell Xiaobai expensive cameras and instead began explaining many camera-related points to him with extra care and enthusiasm, as if he was willing to give Xiaobai all the best things in the world.

Xiao Bai nodded repeatedly, listening to Brother Li's speech with an obedient expression.

A few minutes later, the door outside was pushed open with a whoosh.

The two shop assistants who had just slipped out changed their clothes and came back in.

"Boss! Has our goods arrived yet?!"

As soon as the two shop assistants entered the store, they shouted at Brother Li.

"Hey! It's you guys! Yes, yes, yes! Just a moment, just a moment." As soon as Brother Li saw the two of them, he responded, then smiled apologetically at Xiaobai and explained, "Oh, I'm sorry, these two customers made an appointment with our shop. I have to pick up their order first, it'll only take a few minutes."

"It's okay, I can wait." Xiaobai nodded.

Brother Li looked relieved, and then he came to the two of them.

Xiao Bai had his back to them, but he could still clearly feel their gazes falling on and lingering on him. Then, the sound of Brother Li talking to the two shop assistants rang out.

"Your goods have arrived, and we've retrieved them for you."

"Great! This camera is fantastic! We've been waiting for it for half a month!"

"Yes, the market price of this camera has risen significantly recently, and it's very difficult to get one. I also spent a lot of effort and money on it."

"..."

During the conversation, Brother Li calmly introduced the camera's brand, factory, and various parameters. He then took out a square cardboard box from under the counter and pushed it towards the two of them.

The two of them pretended to open the box, followed by a series of exclamations of surprise. They took out the beautifully packaged camera inside and examined it closely, marveling at it. Their expressions, their voices, and their obvious fondness for the camera made their acting skills almost Oscar-worthy.

After confirming out of the corner of his eye that Xiaobai was also looking this way, Brother Li felt relieved and continued speaking to the two of them.

"I put a lot of effort into this camera, and I need to break even this week. According to the market price, I'll sell it for 88,000."

"Huh? What, 88,000!" The two shop assistants playing customers immediately showed expressions of astonishment. They vividly portrayed the scene, stammering, "This, so much??? Didn't we agree last time it would only be 50,000?"

"Brothers, the market price has gone up recently, there's nothing I can do about it," Brother Li said regretfully. "I also have a family to support, so I have to take the money."

"But we can't afford that much money."

"What should I do? I need to break even this week. It's a small business, otherwise I won't be able to keep the shop running!"

"Really, really, I don't have the money..." The two shop assistants, while showing expressions of refusal, hurriedly put down their cameras and retreated. Ignoring Brother Li's advice, they ran out and disappeared outside the door.

"Hey! You two little brats!!" Brother Li glared at the door, looking extremely angry. He scratched his head and shouted at the door, "You have no conscience!!!"

Xiao Bai sat in his seat, taking in everything.

That's so... vivid.

When I first heard about it in Jinan, I didn't really have a vivid picture in mind. It's true that you get the best experience from the front row.

Xiao Bai watched as Brother Li scratched his head and returned to his side with a dejected expression.

"Oh no, this is terrible, oh no... what are we going to do..." Brother Li sighed.

"..." Xiaobai looked at him silently.

“…Sigh…sigh…” Brother Li continued to sigh, “I’m back, customer.”

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.

"..." Brother Li looked puzzled. "Uh..."

Why isn't this person reacting?

"Hmm?" Xiaobai tilted her head, then paused for a moment before realizing what she meant, "Oh..."

It seems like my lines are coming up next?

"Um, Uncle, those two people just now..." Xiaobai began to speak.

"Hey, that's a good question!" Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Brother Li's eyes flashed with relief, and he immediately sighed, "Those two bastards came to me last time to reserve a camera, but guess what? They just said they don't have the money to buy it. This is giving me a real headache. The camera is great, but I don't have enough money to keep the shop running while I'm busy getting that camera..."

"I see." Xiaobai nodded, a smile appearing on her face. "Let me see?"

"Okay, little customer, you're also looking to buy a camera as a birthday present, right? This is perfect for you! And it's still unopened!"

Brother Li quickly snapped out of his daze, retrieved the box from before, and handed it to Xiaobai with an expectant look on his face.

Xiaobai took the box and asked Brother Li a question.

"Speaking of which, how much does this camera cost?" Xiaobai asked.

"Eighty thousand... Hey, young lady, I think you're a good match. I only need to charge you a weekly fee, so I'll just charge you sixty thousand."

"Sixty thousand... I don't have that much." Xiaobai pretended to put the box back.

"Hey, how much do you have? Forty thousand will do," Brother Li quickly replied.

"I don't have 40,000 either," Xiaobai shook his head.

"Didn't you say you had tens of thousands in your bank account?!" Brother Li's eyes widened immediately.

"It's only a little over ten thousand," Xiaobai said.

"Ten thousand is fine too!" Brother Li gritted his teeth.

"If you sell me something worth 80,000 for only 10,000, can you make a profit?" Xiaobai asked.

"Just turn it over, that'll do," Brother Li said.

"Then just put the price up for sale. A lot of people will see that you're offering such a low discount and they'll definitely come in and buy it." Xiaobai shook his head.

"Young lady, I'm only saying this because I feel a connection with you." By the end, Brother Li's voice was already tinged with impatience.

"Okay, so it seems I got the better deal." Xiaobai nodded and said to Brother Li, "Then I'll buy it."

"Alright, alright!" Brother Li finally smiled. "Then would you like to check the product?"

"No need, I trust you."

"You should check it. All our electronic products need to be checked."

"Okay." Xiaobai nodded.

Brother Li opened the package in front of Xiaobai.

The package contained the same camera from Jinan. Li Ge reached out, took the camera out, and then handed it to Xiaobai with a smile.

"Here you go, customer."

"Um……"

Xiao Bai reached out to take it, but just as her fingertips touched the camera, Brother Li suddenly let go.

The camera suddenly fell from Xiaobai's hands.

Xiaobai watched as the camera fell to the ground.

Actually, given Xiaobai's current reaction, she could have caught the camera, but she still watched it fall to the ground with a loud crack, shattering into pieces.

—Hmm, so this thing really can break when dropped.

Xiao Bai looked at the parts on the ground and thought to himself.

Parts flew everywhere.

Brother Li suddenly cried out in pain.

"Oh no, my camera!"

Brother Li knelt on the ground, picked up the parts, and looked up at Xiaobai with an expression of deep heartache.

"This camera is worth a lot of money, young lady! Look at yourself! You're going to lose money like this!"

“…Oh dear, I’m sorry,” Xiaobai said softly, “I didn’t catch it.”

"I told you to take it!" Brother Li scolded him immediately, but Xiao Bai clearly saw the joy in his eyes.

"Sigh... I guess I have no choice but to pay up now," Xiaobai said. "More than ten thousand yuan, right?"

"Young lady, I think you're a good match. I was thinking of selling you my camera for 10,000 yuan." Brother Li pointed to the sign on the wall and said sadly, "Look, young lady."

Xiao Bai looked in the direction Brother Li pointed.

A line of text is clearly written on the wall: "Damage to products in the store will be compensated at three times the original price."

"Young lady, now... you have to pay me back 382.4 million."

Brother Li's words drifted softly into Xiao Bai's ear, filled with smugness.

Xiao Bai looked at Brother Li.

It turned out to be the case.

So that's one of those tricks too...
