What is the experience of becoming a vampire

Chapter 88 Bargaining

For a moment, Xiang Kun had the feeling of being a king, "king over the world" and looking down on thousands of subjects. He even faintly perceives the "emotions" in the memory of the giant owl.

Before, when he watched these pictures, he always felt like watching a first-view VR movie.

Looking at the unmoving canary in the cage in front of him, Xiang Kun knew that if he left directly, the canary would recover within a few minutes.

But he did not leave, but continued to look at the canary, then his body relaxed and his mind was empty.

The canary remains unchanged.

So Xiang Kun began to imagine in his mind that he was wearing beach pants and dozing off on a deck chair outside a small wooden house by the sea. The sea breeze and the sound of the waves were very pleasant.

Ten seconds later, the sounds of birds around him gradually sounded, and the canary in front of him seemed to be unlocked by "magic", and began to jump around in the cage, making short chirps.

Xiang Kun took out his mobile phone, recorded the tweet, and then sent it to the blind girl named "Little Apple" who had met by hitchhiking last month and asked her what the bird meant.

After killing the "Giant Owl" last month, drinking its blood, and getting many memories, he went into the mountains to search for the area where the owl lived before.When returning, they took a free ride. In addition to criminal police Li Sheng and associate professor Li Yang, there were also Li Yang’s daughter and the blind girl "Little Apple."

"Little Apple" likes to listen to the calls of various birds, and can distinguish the meaning of many bird calls, and can be called a very talented "bird whisperer".

During this period, Xiang Kun occasionally discussed some bird knowledge with her through WeChat.

Although "Little Apple" is blind, no matter whether it is Android or IOS system, there are voice modes to assist blind people. Therefore, she also has her own mobile phone, so it is not a problem to send and receive voice messages using WeChat.

After listening to the bird calls from Xiang Kun, "Little Apple" quickly sent a reply voice:

"It's a canary? Can you record another paragraph? It's not easy to judge based on that paragraph alone."

When Xiang Kun was about to record another section, the owner of the bird shop came out and looked at him with a smile and said, "This bird looks good, the color of this feather is very beautiful. like."

Obviously, he heard the voice of the girl in Xiangkun's phone, thinking that the customer wanted to buy a bird as a gift.

When the boss was talking on the side, Xiang Kun naturally couldn't keep recording the birdsong, so he asked, "How do you sell this bird? Even the bird cage."

The boss first praised the canary’s appearance again, and then said: “Originally, I can raise it to 600 for two months, but looking at brother, you have a fate with this bird, even 500, the bird cage will give it away. You, plus a piece of bird food."

Although Xiang Kun had no idea about the price of these ornamental birds, and he hadn't learned about it before he came, he still knew with his hair that the price must have moisture.

"Boss, give me a honest price, if it suits me, I will buy it." Xiang Kun said.

The boss hesitated, and he hesitated for a while and said: "Well, if you buy the one next to it, 700."

Xiang Kun shook his head: "I only want this one."

The boss gritted his teeth for a while, and sighed: "Then 450, alas, you don’t know how good this bird sings. You not only need to look at this kind of canary, but also whether it sings well. Get up, generally if the bird you buy is too small to sing well if you haven't learned well from the old bird, it will not sing, or it will not sound good..."

When he speaks, Xiang Kun has been observing the changes in his expression, using the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) he learned before, combined with the comprehensive sensory information of his heartbeat, breathing, and smell, to judge his speaking state and analyze him The true attitude to that price.

"Still too expensive." Xiang Kun shook his head.

The boss frowned and said: "Otherwise, handsome guy, look at the few nearby? For example, this one, if you want, bring a normal small cage, 100 yuan. And this one..."

"How about this 100 yuan?" Xiang Kun asked, pointing to the original canary.

The boss' eyes widened, the corner of his mouth twitched, he shook his head and said, "Brother, this bargaining is not like that. Or else go to other stores first, take a look, and ask?"

Based on the details of the boss’ facial expressions and the subtle changes in his heartbeat and breathing, Xiang Kun estimated that he really couldn’t accept the price, so he took the sentence: “I mean the bird is 100 yuan, plus the cage is 150 in total.”

The owner's brows were still frowning, but slightly loosened, he sighed: "This is really a loss, oh... you add more, 180, this bird looks really good, otherwise I won't Put it here."

Xiang Kun did not continue to bargain, and directly paid the money via WeChat transfer.

He actually judged that the boss was barely acceptable to 150. If he insisted on the price, there was a high probability that it could be negotiated.

He had noticed before that the several streets on this side of the flower and bird market actually seemed a bit sluggish, with a low flow of people, and notices of transfer and sale were posted outside many shops.

As long as the price difference is not too much, the transaction will be completed as much as possible and the funds will be returned.

But he waited to reply to the WeChat of "Little Apple", and just recorded the call of the canary, and he didn't want to waste time changing the target.

After leaving the store with the bird cage for a certain distance, Xiang Kun heard the boss return to the store and complained with a companion: "People are too stingy nowadays, and it's hard to deal with..."

Xiang Kun shook his head and smiled. If he was before the mutation, he would basically not bargain.

Before buying something, he will inevitably make a survey first, know the approximate price of the item to be bought, and specify a budget accordingly.

If you encounter today’s situation, you can say "Can it be cheaper" at most. If the boss offers a price within his budget range, he will buy it. If it exceeds his budget range, he will leave and wait for the money to be loose. Come again, or mentally evaluate whether you need to increase your budget.

He was not used to or good at this kind of negotiating communication with people before, even in the work area he is familiar with.

It's not that he likes to communicate with people now. In fact, the main purpose of bargaining with the boss today is not to keep the price down, but to apply and test the knowledge and ability he has at the present stage.

It’s like a performance car that has been bought for a lot of money. In good road conditions, I can’t help but want to give a big throttle, try to push the back feel, bought a rugged phone, and I can’t help thinking when I see a walnut Just like...

In the process of actual use, you can also know which aspects need to be improved.

Xiang Kun picked up the bird cage, recorded a longer call audio and sent it to "Little Apple".

Then he found that among the four people, Tang Baona was in @he afternoon, do you want to go swimming together? Today is Sunday, and the three of them got together again.

"Don't go, something will happen this afternoon." Xiang Kun replied.

Yang Zhener said in the group: "Chef! How about we go to see you for dinner at noon? Just make two dishes at random. We need any ingredients and we will bring them."

"I'm outside now. I shouldn't have time to cook at noon." Although he has now found a way to allow general food to stay in his stomach to a certain extent, the process is really uncomfortable, once or twice. It’s okay to eat with people, and it’s really hard to eat often.

"Where did you go this weekend?" Yang Zhener was curious.

"Flower and bird market." Xiang Kun replied briefly.

Yang Zhen'er gave a frightened expression: "You...you don't want to start cooking bird meat?" She originally wanted to add "I don't eat bird meat", but she hesitated and didn't add it.

Xiang Kun was taken aback, and returned with a speechless expression: "What do you think? The flower and bird market sells ornamental birds, so I want to eat everything."

In my heart, he added silently:

And the taste of bird blood is not very good...

Except the mutant owl...
