The Story of BargainingZuo Dan was a young businessman who ran his own shop in a shopping mall. One day, he received an order from a customer to buy a batch of high-quality wood. Zuo Dan happily agreed to the order and immediately arranged for his employees to start production.
However, Zuo Dan encountered some problems during the production process. He needed to find a suitable type of wood, which was very expensive on the market. Zuo Dan tried all kinds of methods to find this kind of wood but did not find a satisfactory result.
At this moment, a person called Li Si walked into Zuo Dan's shop. Li Si was an experienced haggling expert. After hearing about Zuo Dan's problem, he decided to help Zuo Dan.
Li Si told Zuo Dan that the price of the same kind of wood in the market could vary due to factors such as quality, size, color, and so on. He said that if Zuo Dan wanted to find a suitable wood, he needed to find some different merchants to ask their prices and then compare them to find the best price.
Zuo Dan listened to Li Si's suggestion and began to ask different merchants for prices. He kept comparing and finally found a shop with a very reasonable price and bought the wood he needed.
Zuo Dan was very grateful for Li Si's help and decided to pay him a certain fee in the future. Li Si smiled and said to Zuo Dan,"This is only a small amount, but it is a thank you for my work."
From then on, Zuo Dan and Li Si became good friends. They often recommended each other's products and helped each other in bargaining.
Bargaining for jade waresThere were many ways to bargain in the sale of jade:
1. ** Avoiding excessive price reduction **: It is not advisable to offer a 50% or even 30% discount in the first round unless the jade merchant is doing charity. Otherwise, this will cause the jade merchant to change the bidding strategy and double the real price before giving it to you. If the jade merchant still had a negotiable expression after reporting the discount, then this price was distorted.
2. [Know the market price]: Understanding the reasonable price range of jade is very important. You can't use the price of ten years ago to buy the current jade. For example, the price of jade has increased several times in the past ten years, and the quality of the goods has actually declined (because the old pit materials are basically out of production).
3. ** Multi-round inquiry **: Especially when negotiating for multiple materials, you can mix the high and low prices together (including your target jade) and see the discounts that the merchants can give. This way, you can have more initiative.
4. [Carefully observe: This will help you find a basis for bargaining.]
5. ** Don't be bashful **: Demonstrate a decisive attitude.
6. [Don't show off your wealth: When buying jade, dress in a low-key manner to avoid letting the merchants think that you are a "rich man" and raise the price.]
7. [Master Jargon: Master some professional jargon in the jade trade in advance to make yourself look like you know what you're doing.]
8. ** Conceal tourist identity **: If you buy jade from other places, do not show that you are a tourist. Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect your rights when you find a problem with the jade.
9. ** Distraction **: When you see a jade that you like, don't show it first. Pick up another jade to ask for the price and give up because of the high price. Then pick up the one that you like to check. The boss will say that this piece is not as good as the previous one. At this time, you can bargain.
10. [Keep the bottom line: You must have a psychological price for the goods you choose. You must have a plan in your heart and not be shaken by the increase in prices.]
In addition, when bargaining, you must leave room for the other party. An appropriate bargaining is a win-win situation, and harmony is the long-term way to make money. In the price game of buying and selling jade, jade merchants had to leave room for profit for themselves, make the price sincere, and prevent competition from their peers. They would first give a price that the customer would not run away from, and then wait for the customer to bargain before making some small concessions. Therefore, when bargaining, the jade merchants had to make it seem profitable.

Bargaining for jade wareThere were many techniques to haggle in the sale of jade:
- ** Understand relevant knowledge and market prices **:
- Learn as much as possible about jade, including its appearance, color, and clarity, so that you can better evaluate the value of jade and propose a reasonable price.
- Pay attention to the jade market and understand the latest price changes. If the market is oversupplied, there is more room for bargaining; if the supply exceeds the demand, a higher price may be accepted.
- ** negotiation skills **:
- Multiple rounds of inquiry: You can mix the materials with high prices and low prices (including your target jade) and discuss them together. You can see the discounts given by the merchants. This way, you can have more initiative.
- Don't show off your wealth: avoid letting the merchants think that you can raise the price.
- [Diversion: Divert the merchant's attention so that he doesn't notice the strong desire for the target jade.]
- Keep the bottom line: Clear the highest price you can accept and not be easily persuaded by the merchants to raise the budget.
- [Careful observation: If you carefully examine the jade, you may find some factors that affect the price so that you can bargain.]
- Don't be shy: be decisive when expressing your willingness to buy and when bargaining.
- Decisive decision: When the price reaches your psychological expectations, you must make a decisive decision to buy.
- <<Reasonably communicate>: Maintain calmness and rationality, emphasize your own needs and give a reasonable reason not to buy in a timely manner, increasing the possibility of success in bargaining.>
- First-round quote: Don't offer a discount or even a 30% discount in the first round. This may cause the jade merchant to change the bidding strategy. You should compare the rough evaluation of the jade's value with the merchant's offer and negotiate reasonably.
- Bargaining in moderation: Give the merchant a certain margin of profit, especially if you want to buy again. Don't bargain too hard the first time.
However, it was also important to note that some situations might not be suitable for bargaining, such as encountering a seller with a fixed price, or a rare and precious jade whose value had been widely recognized.

Bargaining for jade in the mallWhen bargaining for jade in the mall, you can refer to the following strategies:
###1. Preparing Before Bargaining
1. ** Knowledge Storage **
- He had to fully understand the knowledge related to jade, including jade quality, carving skills, market prices, and other factors. For example, for jadeite, one had to know how to observe the water, color, carving, cracks, white cotton, and other aspects to evaluate its value. If one used a strong flashlight to observe the jade at a close distance and found that the crystal particles were sparse, which did not match the characteristics of the water that the merchants said, there would be a basis for bargaining. If one saw that the color of the jade was not bright, not rich, not uniform, not green, or the body of the jade Buddha carved by the sculptor was not coordinated, the face was not symmetrical, the facial features were not correct, or the bracelet had cracks, the jade cotton did not meet the high-quality characteristics, etc., they could be used as a reason for bargaining.
- Understanding the market situation of jade was crucial because the prices varied at different times. For example, the price of jade had increased several times in the past decade, and the quality of the goods had also declined (the old pit materials were basically out of production). It was unrealistic to buy jade at the price of ten years ago, so he had to grasp the current reasonable price range.
2. ** In terms of mentality and attitude **
- Maintain a rational attitude and don't be anxious for success. Many people would haggle over the price when buying jade, and in the end, they might buy a high-priced product or a fake one and think that they had picked up a bargain. There must be a strategy for bargaining, and one must not blindly pursue low prices.
###2. Bargaining Techniques
1. ** Disguise and psychological tactics **
- He had learned to disguise himself. Try to keep a low profile when shopping. Don't deliberately show off your wealth to avoid raising the price. Even if he was a newbie in the industry, he had to learn more jade jargon and pretend to be an expert when necessary. When you see a jade accessory that suits you very well, don't show your love too early. You can first look at a higher-end jade and ask for the price before giving up. Then look at the style that you like before. This way, you will have the bottom line to bargain.
- Using psychological tactics. This was a psychological game to make the seller feel that you were not very satisfied with the product. For example, he could bring a flashlight to pick out jade and pretend to be an expert. When he saw the flaws on the jade, he could exaggerate them appropriately and complain that the flaws would affect the beauty. However, when he said the point, it would show that he was experienced and make the seller feel that he was sincere, so that he would not quote too high a price.
- Don't be in a hurry to show your trump card. Some people who didn't know anything about the industry would rush to ask for the lowest price when they saw a jade that they liked. This was a bad habit, because once the lowest price was said, there was often no room for negotiation.
2. ** Price strategy **
- Don't be too aggressive in the first round of bidding, such as a discount or even a 30% discount. Unless the merchant is doing charity, it is unlikely to agree. This may cause the merchant to change the bidding strategy (such as doubling the real price). If the seller still had a "negotiable" expression on his face after the price was discounted, then the price was likely to be distorted.
- Using the technique of multiple rounds of inquiry, especially when negotiating multiple materials at the same time, he could mix the high and low prices together (including his target jade seed) and then see what discount the merchant could give. Now that business was difficult, merchants would be more attentive to customers who bought more than one item at a time. This way, they could have more initiative.
- For first-time purchases and possibly multiple purchases, don't haggle too hard on the first time, or it will be difficult to get a good discount on the next purchase. If you encounter a jade that is particularly pleasing to the eye but the price is slightly higher than expected, especially when you are doing business for the first time, you might as well be generous and pay the full price to buy it. This will be beneficial for the next deal.

Bargaining for ancient relicsThere were a few ways to bargain for ancient artifacts:
1. [Understand the details, want to buy first to depreciate]: The buyer needs to first understand the relevant information of the ancient artifact, such as the dynasty, the official kiln, the folk kiln, whether it has been repaired, the purchase price, etc., so that they can be clearer than the seller, so that they can point out the shortcomings of the cultural relic and give a reasonable price. Because it was common for sellers to bid high prices in the sale of antiques, different people had different judgments on the value of artworks. Buyers had to be knowledgeable in order to bargain effectively.
2. ** Make friends, move with sincerity **: If the seller has no intention to sell, the buyer can communicate with the seller through coaxing and coaxing to find a common language and show his sincerity. For example, after reading the information and understanding the relevant knowledge of ancient relics, he could communicate with the seller. Under the premise of not causing disgust, he could gradually persuade the seller to close the deal at the ideal price.
3. [Diversion, roundabout bargaining: Similar to the plot in the skit " Selling Cats ", by buying other items to obtain the ancient artifacts you want in a roundabout way or using some indirect strategies in the process of bargaining.]
4. ** Insist on psychological price **: Bids according to your own psychological price, don't be scared by the seller's asking price.
5. ** Decisive bid and leave **: When bargaining, be firm. After bidding at your own psychological price, say that if you can take it, if not, don't force it. Then turn around and leave. This has a higher chance of closing the deal.
6. When you fancy a collection, don't directly bargain with it. You can take some worthless or fake items to bargain with you and pretend to be a layman. However, this method may not work on knowledgeable sellers.
7. ** Multi-bargain **: If you can't bargain, you can leave first and then come back to bargain. You can do it many times to increase the chance of success.
8. ** Seize the opportunity **: If the item you like isn't very popular, you can wait until the market closes, such as after 12 noon or 5 pm. It's often easier to bargain at this time.
