Act forty-fifth twenty-two cents

"The Monopoly retails for thirty cents and purchases for twenty-five cents," Doug said.

"The purchase price is too high. Brother Doug, do you think everyone in New Haven is like Yale students? You have to know that your complex thing may be very popular in Yale, but it may not be popular in New Haven.

because……

There are all illiterate people here, and there are all illiterate people everywhere.

Just like me, I don’t know anything except the numbers on money.

If it weren't for my illiteracy, I would have been doing business all over New England. Why do I just want to be in this small New Haven, looking at these stores?" Andreas said with a complaining face.

If Doug hadn't confirmed his occasional flash of inspiration, he would really think that what he said was true.

"Brother Andreas, you're a little bit of a matter of course! Does this game really require a high level of knowledge to play?" Doug touched his hand and removed the cloth bag from his waist.

Spread the standardized game layout in the cloth bag on the table, threw it to Andreas a chess piece, and left a chess piece by himself.

"Brother Ander, you really think you are illiterate now! Let's start the game!" Doug shook two dice.

The wooden dice was slightly light and there was no sound when it fell on the cloth.

Andreas, who really regarded himself as an illiterate person, started playing with interest even if he didn't read the text on it.

"Brother Ander, you understand this time. This is not a game floating in the clouds. You look at the parks, the streets, the shops, the prisons, and there are also a few pieces of money that have their own colors. Ignorant people can remember their functions by remembering colors.

And...more importantly, look at all of this, what is there that not everyone can access?

Look, you said you are illiterate and you are having fun?" Doug said as he rolled the dice again.

Although Andreas still wants to do his instinct to fight for his best interests.

However, he also knew at this moment that Doug was not just a little beggar, not just the illegitimate son of the current president of Yale University, nor the kind of unused young man, but a person who truly has the ability to negotiate and can do business.

It is a routine to fool the stupid young master, and it is another routine to negotiate with people who participate in the business.

"I have to admit that Monopoly is indeed a fun game. However, if there is only a profit of five cents, if I buy a batch of goods and it has not been sold out for a long time, your profit is far from being able to spread my expenses. There is no profit, no possibility of cooperation." Andreas said.

"Repurchase." Doug looked into Andreas' eyes and said, "I can buy back. The purchase price of twenty-five cents, if you can't sell all the Monopoly you buy, I will buy back."

Andreas replied, "This is indeed a good idea. But... Brother Doug, I'm afraid that your Monopoly is really potential, and it should... not... it must be sold!

So…if I don’t need you to repurchase, can the purchase price be lower?”

Doug thought for a while, showed an expression of making a difficult choice, gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty-three cents! No more low! I also think my "Monopoly" can be sold!"

Although this is still a little far from Doug's bottom line, he still acts realistically.

Andreas originally wanted to continue to put some pressure on the price and lower it.

As a porter and a grocery store owner, Andreas is highly sensitive to materials.

He glanced at the cloth bag used in "Monopoly", the chess pieces of "Monopoly", the virtual banknotes of "Monopoly", and the house of "Monopoly".

According to the corresponding ratio of purchases in batches...

Plus labor costs...

Andreas judged that the cost of a Monopoly set was around fifteen cents, and the float would not exceed two cents.

Judging by the cost, although the purchase price is twenty-three cents, Doug's concession is already quite good.

but……

Andreas set a standard line and pressed it to twenty cents!

"Brothers Doug. You also know that Monopoly is a new thing. The poor people like New Haven are unwilling to get into new things. If you lower the purchase price by three cents, I will contract out the promotion of Monopoly.

You should know that many people come to my store every day. Putting it in the most conspicuous position in the store is an excellent advertisement!

How about it?"

Doug suddenly showed a sarcastic expression, which was not exaggerated, but not particularly obscure. While it could make Andreas feel unhappy, he would not suspect that he was performing on purpose.

"Propaganda? I've done it long ago! Otherwise, what would you think the Yale student commotion the day before yesterday came from?

They went to Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory!

Isn't anyone curious about the things they produced at the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory?"

“Brother Doug, you overestimate the influence of Yale students in New Haven.

Although Yale has been in New Haven for more than a hundred years, Yale is also an excellent school. But who knows other students except for those very few extremely outstanding students?

even--

Do you know what the name of Yale’s premier is? What have you done? Do you have any achievements?

I'm sure you can't say it completely.

Only the rich will have a far-sighted vision, while those poor -

They just have short-sighted visions about what to eat in the next meal and whether they can earn more cents tomorrow.

Even if all Yale students move to your printing and dyeing factory to attend classes, they won’t care.

And my shelves, they will see food every day.

Only my shelves are the best promotional location.”

"Is that true?" Doug asked again, "Brother Ander, I wonder if you have heard these two words recently - 'Do you want to get rich overnight?', 'Do you want to double your assets?'.

Don’t you want to know who made them hang on the wall these two inexplicable words?”

"It's you?" Andreas said in surprise.

"Yes, it's me. Don't you think everyone wants to get rich overnight, and everyone wants to double their assets?

yes……

No way is it possible that everyone gets rich overnight and everyone's assets double.

That's daydreaming!

But Brother Ander, don't you think my Monopoly is something that can make your dream come true?"

"Use the buyer's dream to achieve your reality?"

"That's right!" Doug nodded.

"Twenty-two cents."
