833 Bargaining

She decided to leave it at that for the time being. After all, there was no one in the market who made popcorn like her so it could attract everyone’s attention for a moment. When the people around them figured out this trick, it would no longer be so easy to sell it.

“Then how do we sell it? Do we use cups?” Li Gui asked, feeling puzzled.

She had seen the peddlers selling popcorn at the entrance of the cinema. Either the customers prepared their own bags or the peddlers used a plastic bag to hold the popcorn. There was no fixed way to sell them.

If they used cups, the cost would become higher. If they had to sell it at 80 cents a cup, people might not want to buy it. Over time, the popularity they gained from selling seeds would gradually be lost.

The most convenient way was to use plastic bags, but where could they order so many plastic bags?

“Use a small bag! The kind of plastic bag that is used to hold those exquisite sweets. The bags are quite colorful and nice-looking! I have a friend who’s in this business,” Xia He said.

“Can it be custom-made? As in we provide the specifications,” Qiao Mei asked.

“It should be possible if we order a large quantity. After all, we’re doing a long-term business. It should be negotiable,” Xia He said in a straightforward manner.

Qiao Mei drew up a draft quickly and indicated that she wanted a totally transparent plastic bag which she could tie with a red string. It was better for such things to be as simple as possible. Otherwise, it would not be good if someone maliciously imitated their logo in the future.

“Then I’ll leave it in your good hands~” Qiao Mei handed the draft to Xia He and said sweetly.

What Xia He could not stand the most was Qiao Mei acting so coquettishly. She finally understood why Xia Zhe doted on Qiao Mei so much. If even a woman like her could not stand Qiao Mei acting coquettishly, then what more a man. She was simply too cute!

With this plan taking shape, Qiao Mei had to start working on her own matters.

That was… to buy a house!

She wanted to hurry up and buy it while it was still cheap! Otherwise she would miss this chance!

Qiao Mei contacted the owner through Xia Wen and asked him to bring all his documents to sign the agreement at her house the next morning.

The next day, Xia Wen waited for the owner at the entrance of the alley at the agreed time. It was not until more than half an hour later that the owner rushed over. He was panting and looked in a sorry state.

If not for the fact that there was no one following him, Xia Wen would have thought that he was being chased by a dog.

“I’m so sorry! I was delayed on the way. I’m really sorry!” The owner clasped his hands together and apologized to Xia Wen.

Xia Wen did not kick up a fuss. He smiled and said, “It’s fine. Let’s go quickly.”

The two of them rushed over. Qiao Mei had been waiting in the main hall for a long time and almost fell asleep while leaning against the table.

The owner had heard about Qiao Mei from others, that she was fair-skinned, beautiful, young and rich. Most importantly, she was kind and friendly to people and had a good relationship with her neighbors.

“This must be Qiao Mei. I didn’t expect you to be so young,” the owner said.

“Sir, you’re too kind. Let’s cut to the chase and settle the matter directly so that we make it easy for everyone,” Qiao Mei said with a gentle smile.

When the owner saw that Qiao Mei was a straightforward person, he took out the title deed and the keys to all the doors. After he handed the things over and signed and stamped the document, this matter would be done.

“Then shall we sign the contract?” the owner asked eagerly.

Qiao Mei waved her hands and said, “There’s no hurry. It looks to me that many people have lived in your house before. I would like to confirm that you’re the sole owner.”

The owner said firmly, “It’s mine. It’s written in the title deed! The area of the land is also stated. Back then, we answered the country’s call to rent the house to the homeless people, but now that the country has agreed for us to take it back, it belongs to my family.”

It was the truth. It seemed that his family was the actual owner, but Qiao Mei still wanted to push the price lower. After all, she wanted to spend as little money as possible.

“Then how much do you intend to sell this house to me?” Qiao Mei asked casually.

The owner looked at Xia Wen and then at Qiao Mei. They had already agreed that it would be nothing less than 10,000 dollars. Why was she asking him about this now?

“I’ve already spoken to this little brother about this. As long as you give me
