Chapter 236 Selling on Behalf
The Companion Eggs Zhou Wen had snatched were Legendary Companion Eggs which were specially prepared for sale by the various major merchants. Most of them were unique to certain regions and were very few in number. They were considered rather rare types that were scattered all across the globe.
Even if one went to a large Companion Egg store in Holy City, it would be very difficult to see so many different types from so many different regions.
âYouâll know if itâs true if you buy one,â Zhou Wen said.
âThatâs fine, but isnât your price too high?â Li Yu glanced at Zhou Wenâs bid. The Broken-Winged Angel was worth 188,000. Typical Legendary Companion Eggs could be bought at 10â20,000. The rare ones went for about 70-80,000. Only excellent-grade Eggs could exceed 100,000.
âI referenced the price on the Internet. Itâs non-negotiable,â Zhou Wen said.
He had checked the prices on the Internet, but due to the frequent appearance of dimensional zones across the world, traffic was greatly obstructed. The supply chain had become slow and unsafe, and there were often severe losses of goods. Therefore, the scale of Internet transactions was gradually shrinking
If he couldnât sell it in the college, Zhou Wen could only try his luck at Luoyangâs market. If he still couldnât get a buyer, he could only sell it to merchants. If that happened, the price would be very low.
Li Yu smacked his lips. âZhou Wen, I donât have the money to buy such things. However, if you try here, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to sell it either. Why donât we do it this way? Why donât you hand over your Companion Eggs to me for selling. Iâll take a ten percent commission for my hard work?â
âWhy will you be able to sell it if I canât sell it here?â Zhou Wen looked at Li Yu with interest.
Li Yu handed a business card to Zhou Wen. âTo be honest, Iâve already been accepted by the Royal Pet Store. Although I havenât graduated yet, Iâm already an official employee there. As you can see, thereâs no one here. Iâm only setting up a stall here due to the companyâs requirements. If your Companion Eggs are real, I can help you sell them through the companyâs channels. The prices will definitely be high, on the premise that these Companion Eggs are definitely real.â
Unfortunately, most people didnât know of the battle in the Holy Land, nor did they know what Zhou Wen had done in Holy City. Otherwise, Li Yu wouldnât have suspected the authenticity of these Companion Eggs.
âThereâs no need. Iâll just sell them by myself. After all, I have nothing to do.â Zhou Wen knew that Li Yu was planning on doing a lossless business. The risk was all Zhou Wenâs, but the profits had to be shared with Li Yu. Furthermore, Zhou Wen didnât know how much Li Yu would sell them for.
However, Zhou Wen knew that the fellow wasnât reliable based on the name of the Royal Pet Store. Together with three other pet stores, it was known as one of the top four scammers in the League. They were well-known to purchase at low prices and sell at high prices, and they liked to play cheap tricks.
Zhou Wen wasnât too busy himself. He could game while running a stall, so there was no rush.
âLetâs do this. Since itâs not easy to sell these Companion Eggs, why donât you sell them to me as a package deal? As long as you can guarantee their authenticity, Iâll give you 80,000 each. Four of them makes it 320,000. Letâs round it off to 300,000. How about that?â Li Yu added.
âNon-negotiable,â Zhou Wen said as he gamed.
âThis Ice Frost Bear is clearly too expensive. An ordinary Ice Frost Bear Companion Egg is only 70-80,000. Why are you pricing it at nearly 200,000?â Li Yu pointed at the Frost Bear Companion Egg.
âItâs worth every penny.â Zhou Wenâs Ice Frost Bear was indeed priced very high, but that was because he had seen its stats and knew that it was worth the price.
âIf you do business like this, you wonât even be able to sell it in the Luoyang market, much less here.â Li Yu had never seen Zhou Wenâs sales tactics before. He decided to wait and see; he believed he could buy Zhou Wenâs Companion Eggs at low prices after Zhou Wen realized the cruel reality of the world.
There were very few people in the market. Occasionally, students would come for Li Yu. From the looks of it, his identity as a Royal Pet Store employee wasnât fake. Occasionally, the student council would entrust him to sell the Companion Eggs they obtained from the dimensional zone.
Although he didnât offer a high price, the benefit was that money could be directly received without going through the trouble of selling it themselves.
However, the ones that were sold to Li Yu were mostly common Companion Eggs that were nothing spectacular.
âHow about it? Did you see that? The students acknowledge me. The price is fair and honest. The price I gave you isnât low.â Li Yu took another Companion Egg and flaunted it at Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen ignored him as he continued gaming. By the side, Huang Ji was also doing something on his laptop. His fingers were rapidly tapping on the keyboard, having no time to chat with Zhou Wen.
Seeing that Zhou Wen was ignoring him, Li Yu couldnât help but mumble, âThatâs not the way to do business. You definitely wonât make any sales.â
As he spoke, another person walked over. When Li Yu saw that person, his eyes lit up.
âGu Dian, you got another Companion Egg?â Li Yu hurriedly went forward to welcome him warmly.
When Zhou Wen heard Gu Dianâs name, he looked up and indeed saw the devilish-looking man walk in.
âHow much can these Companion Eggs be exchanged for?â Gu Dian threw a bag in front of Li Yu.
Li Yu hurriedly opened the bag and was overjoyed when he saw more than ten Companion Eggs inside. As he appraised them, he said in delight, âThis should be a Golden Warrior Companion Egg. Others will pay at most 5,000 to buy them out. On account of us being old friends, Iâll give you 5,500 for it...â
Zhou Wen looked at the Companion Eggs with his cell phone and couldnât help but be astonished. Li Yu was indeed quite capable. His appraisal of the Companion Eggâs species was right on the money.
However, the price he offered was nothing but a scam. It was basically less than a third of the market price.
A Golden Warrior Companion Egg might only be an ordinary Legendary, but it was an excellent pet for tanking. They were sold for rather high prices on the market. However, the price Li Yu offered was much lower than that of a typical Legendary Companion Egg. He was truly unscrupulous.
âGu Dian, are you selling these Companion Eggs?â Zhou Wen asked Gu Dian.
Gu Dian was ultimately a member of the Xuanwen Club despite only being recruited to make up the numbers. Zhou Wen didnât wish for him to be cheated right under his nose.
A person like Gu Dian spent all day in the dimensional zones without even having a friend. He definitely wouldnât know the market prices, so Zhou Wen reckoned that he had been scammed by Li Yu in the past.
âYes,â replied Gu Dian.
âSince Iâm also selling Companion Eggs, Iâll sell it for you if you trust me,â Zhou Wen said.
âAlright.â Gu Dian grabbed his bag and placed it in front of Zhou Wen before turning to leave without a word.
Li Yu was somewhat infuriated as he said to Zhou Wen with a cold expression, âZhou Wen, thatâs quite an a**hole thing to do. Donât you know the rules of doing business?â
âI donât know much about business, but Gu Dian is a member of our club. Iâm not breaking the rules by helping him sell them, right?â Zhou Wen said.
âAlright, let me watch you sell them here.â Li Yu was in no hurry. He had to sell the Companion Eggs through the Royal Pet Storeâs channels. It was practically impossible to sell them here.
