    Rhodes thought for a while, and finally agreed to Xie Xingchen's invitation.

    Their team was a mobile unit specially tailored for "Trading Day" at the beginning. He thought he would play late, but he never thought that they would come in handy as soon as "Trading Day" started.

    And they not only came in handy, but also changed from the original mobile unit to the exclusive "traffic commander" of the earth business.

    Although Xie Xingchen is a friend of the Zerg race with the bug badge, the order from the superior still makes some bugs feel uncomfortable.

    They can all imagine how their colleagues will make fun of them when the "trading day" is over.

    But now, Boss Xie invited them to the booth of the Earth Trading Company for an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink event?

    There was a sincere smile on the corner of Rhodes' mouth.

    Although can't beat you and you are forced to come here to be a traffic commander, but the traffic commander is treated well!

    At least they not only have something to eat and drink, but also a place to rest, unlike other colleagues who can only drink unpalatable nutrient solution, tsk tsk.

    Rhodes nodded slightly, and reservedly thanked Xie Xingchen: "Then thank you, thank you boss."

    Xie Xingchen raised his eyes and said with a smile in his eyes: "Where is it? I want to thank you. I am really grateful that you took time out of your busy schedule to care about the Earth Firm. I am just doing what I should.It's just power."

    After exchanging a few words with Rhodes and his party, Xie Xingchen formally invited them to the Earth Trading Company booth.

    The total number of mobile troops led by Rhodes is 6 people, leaving 2 people nearby to maintain smooth traffic, and the remaining 4 people followed Xie Xingchen into the booth of the Earth Trading Company, and sat on the sofa happily drinking milk tea and eating.Delicious food, make passers-by envious.

    Seeing that the Earth Trading Company had calmed down, Xie Xingchen took out a small blackboard and wrote on it, "Due to capacity issues, the Earth Trading Company is temporarily not selling products. All products in the booth are samples and are for display only."

    After placing the small blackboard on the conspicuous corner with couplets pasted outside the booth of the Earth Firm, Xie Xingchen turned on the switch of the small blackboard.

    Immediately, the small blackboard, which was originally ordinary, began to glow faintly. Although it was not dazzling, it could not be ignored.

    Looking at the conspicuous blackboard with satisfaction, Xie Xingchen clapped his hands and prepared to leave.

    Hey, if it wasn't for this accident, he probably would have left long ago.

    Now an hour has passed since the start of the trading day. If he doesn't leave, the stock that he prepared in advance may have to be sold out.

    If the inventory of energy stones he urgently needs runs out, then Xie Xingchen has only two choices - ① buy some more expensive energy stones for an emergency period; ② stop the machine.

    These two choices are not good choices. Anyway, Xie Xingchen thinks that if he can choose not to choose, it is better not to choose.

    So... let's hurry up, it will be bad if we are late.

    "It's running out of time, I have to buy some goods first, please remember to entertain these Zerg patrol members for me."

    Before leaving, Xie Xingchen seriously told himself this group of employees whose eyes were bright since the members of the Zerg patrol team came in.

    I don't know if they heard his instructions clearly, anyway, they always responded "hmm" to what Xie Xingchen said, and only they knew exactly what they "hmm" said.

    Seeing this, Xie Xingchen helplessly helped his forehead.

    He said a few more words worriedly, then stood up and walked out.

    But as he walked, he felt as if he had forgotten something.

    He didn't remember it until he walked 50 meters away from the booth.

    Turn around and walk back quickly.

    Xie Xingchen's eyes lit up when he saw Fa Cai.

    Xie Xingchen waved: "Fat Cai, hurry up, go shopping with me."

    Shopping!

    How can you get rich without bargaining!

    Back when his mother was still alive, his mother only dared to cut half of the price.

    How about getting rich?

    I'll cut you off with only fractions left!

    This bargaining ability can definitely make the boss on the opposite side so angry that his blood pressure soars, but it makes his own boss very happy.

    Seeing Xie Xingchen running back happily, he dragged another robot away happily.

    Even though they were as calm and indifferent as the Zerg, they couldn't help feeling a little curious.

    A younger military female who looked like she had just joined the army couldn't help but ask, "Why did Boss Xie take this robot to go shopping?"

    Why did Xie Xingchen take Fa Cai to buy things?

    Everyone: Surprise.jpg

    I will answer this question!

    Everyone who has discussed Fa Cai's miraculous bargaining deed many times smiled and said in a natural tone: "Because Fa Cai is very good at bargaining."

    Cut, bargain?

    The 4 Zerg were not visible on the surface, but they were shocked in their hearts.

    Can robots still bargain?

    He is not a mechanical life!

    "It's amazing to get rich and bargain!"

    "He can chop something worth 1,000 star coins into 400 star coins."

    "And not only can he chop 1,000 star coins into 400 star coins, but he can also ask the boss to give him something around."

    Zerg: "..."

    I always feel that every time meet someone from the earth business, their three views will be reorganized.

    From the remarks of the employees of the Earth Trading Company, they had to admit that this robot named "Fa Cai" was really good at bargaining.

    And they also found a very strange thing - this group of human beings are convinced that the future fortune will definitely awaken into a mechanical life.

    Although the Zerg are xenophobic and indifferent to other civilizations, this does not mean that they do not understand other civilizations.

    For example, one of the strongest contradictions of the Star Alliance - the contradiction between human beings and mechanical life, they know a lot about it.

    It is precisely because of their understanding that they sighed with so little knowledge—when did the relationship between humans and robots become so good?

    Is it because they haven't come out to socialize for too long, so are their ideas outdated?

    Don't human beings dislike robots turning into mechanical life?

    Because of this, many human beings buy robots that are not very intelligent and have a very low probability of awakening into mechanical life.

    How come it's in the hands of Boss Xie, and the matter is reversed?

    If Xie Xingchen was here, he would definitely be able to say all kinds of convincing reasons to convince (brainwash) them, but unfortunately Xie Xingchen is not here, he is buying.

    To tell the truth, he really came to buy goods!

    Xie Xingchen, who did not put on any disguise, was watched by everyone all the way when he left the Earth Trading Company's booth.

    Fortunately, many of the lives that can come to participate in the "Trading Day" are people with seniority (capable of realizing large transactions). Although these people have many fans, they are much more mature and stable than the young fans.

    At the beginning, the earth business was congested because some fanatical fans took the lead in creating a star-chasing atmosphere. In addition, everyone didn't know that the earth business didn't sell things. Everyone thought they could buy goods, so those who wanted to make a fortune alsoThen rushed over.

    Swarming to the back, everyone huddled together, and people who didn’t know asked, oh well, the Earth Trading Company is here, Boss Xie is here, and the products of the Earth Trading Company are still on sale, and the booth of the Earth Trading Company is also very well arranged.Pretty……

    This is great, do you still need to be entangled?

    Definitely squeeze through first and then say wow!

    Who doesn't know that the earth trading firm has less goods.

    If you are late, the things will be bought by others!

    So just like this, all kinds of real and false information mix-up, causing everyone to not distinguish between true and false, so they squeezed their heads forward.

    Eventually they figured it out, but—

    They've all been squeezed here, so it's too bad not to take a look at the booth of the Earth Trading Company, right?

    So no one is willing to retreat at all, and it is logical to cause a big crowd.

    It wasn't until the Zerg patrol came to evacuate the crowd that everyone returned rationally.

    After returning to their senses, they blushed and were embarrassed by each other, so now they were embarrassed to step forward when they saw Boss Xie, because - when they saw him, they couldn't help but think of the stupid things they did just now!

    Xie Xingchen feels very good about this!

    How nice it is to have no one to bother you!

    I feel clean when buy things.

    ...

    Walking towards the predetermined destination, Xie Xingchen came to the place where energy was sold.

    The bigger the energy supplier, the better the booth, and the more people are willing to stop and look at the products.

    However, Xie Xingchen passed the two largest booths in a row and came to the third largest "Universal Energy" booth.

    "Universe Energy" ranks third in the entire Star Alliance energy industry. It is a new brand in recent years, and it has only been established for ten years.

    But its development momentum is very strong, because its boss is one of the smallest civilizations of the Star Alliance—the Stone Race civilization. He and his employees have special racial talents, which can be used in any ore to improveEnergy stone quality.

    Although their energy stones are more expensive than ordinary energy stones, their energy stones can be used for a longer period of time, and overall it is still a good deal.

    If the booth of the Earth Company is the most beautifully furnished and warmest booth in the entire venue, then the booth of "Universal Energy" is probably the most "sloppy" booth.

    This place is not as neat as other booths. The energy stones here are all piled up on the ground in a pile.

    Xie Xingchen couldn't help swallowing when he looked at the various energy stones like hills.

    what...

    If he read it correctly, the ones on the far side are super energy stones?

    To mix super energy stones with other low-level energy stones and throw them on the ground?

    This group of stone tribe people is too messy relying on their racial talent that can easily distinguish the quality of energy stones.

    But there is one thing to say, although the booth of "Universal Energy" looks rough, but in fact the service is quite meticulous.

    As soon as Xie Xingchen came in, a tall, mighty, honest-looking man came to receive him.

    "Hello, do you want energy stones?"

    The man looks simple and honest, but he is actually quite smart.

    Seeing that Xie Xingchen had been looking at the pile of energy stones before, he directly asked him if he needed energy stones.

    Xie Xingchen also wanted not to waste time, he nodded first, and then said: "I am a planet owner, and my planet is currently under construction, so I want more energy stones, and it is still a long-term sale, yoursCan the price be any cheaper?"

    Xie Xingchen's bargaining strategy for today - buy it yourself first, then let Fa Cai do it.

    After all, buying things online is different from buying things offline. The other party doesn’t know whether you are a human or a dog even if you are separated by a network cable, but offline, Xie Xingchen is not afraid of anything except meeting some people who are unwilling to deal with robots.

    Go up by yourself first, show his willingness to buy, and then let the robot go up, show your attitude first, people who want to do business will naturally be willing to talk to the robot.

    The man thought for a while, then nodded readily.

    Then he handed Xie Xingchen an electronic tablet with the energy stone price list on it.

    Buyers can get different discounts by purchasing different quantities of energy stones. If you buy in large quantities for a long time (more than three years), you can get a discount of up to 30%.

    30% off, already much cheaper than he thought.

    He looked at the official price list, and the highest discount offered by Universal Energy was only a 20% discount on the wholesale price.

    But how should I put it, I’ve come all the time, it seems that I’m sorry for myself if I don’t bargain?

    then

    Xie Xingchen: "Can you make it cheaper?"

    After saying this, he planned to let Fa Cai play.

    But the man on the opposite side resolutely shook his head and said frankly: "It can't be any cheaper, as you know, our Stone Clan never cheats or engages in those fake things, the price is all on this list, unless you can buy all of ourEnergy stones, otherwise it is impossible to lower it, if you think the price is not suitable, you can go to other places to see, there may be a more suitable price."

    The stone clansman's tone was very casual, as if he didn't care whether Xie Xingchen bought it or not.

    If it was a person from another civilization, Xie Xingchen would try to negotiate the price again, after all, if one energy stone is less than one star coin, he will earn countless star coins.

    However, this is the stone tribe.

    Xie Xingchen didn't say anything more when he thought that some people complained about "stubborn", "dull and boring" and "never jokes" on Xingwang from time to time.

    After a moment of silence, he nodded.

    Xie Xingchen said with a smile: "Okay, I will pay according to your price, but can I choose the goods first? Also, I want to ask when you will be able to deliver the goods? Can you deliver them today or tomorrow?"

    The stone clansman was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I can pick the goods for you first, but because our spot goods are all mined in the same small mine and the batches are the same, so although there are differences in energy content, the difference is not the same."Big, if you don’t understand, you may not be able to pick out good ones, I suggest you not waste your time, and we still have a lot of stock, if you are in a hurry, I can send it to you tomorrow.”

    Xie Xingchen's mouth twitched.

    As expected of the Stone Clan, this answer is too sincere!

    Although it doesn't sound good, Xie Xingchen likes it.

    Now that everyone said so, Xie Xingchen didn't bother anymore.

    He listed the requirements directly.

    Among them, the mid-level energy stones are the most, followed by the high-level energy stones, and he only picked a small part of the low-level energy stones and the super energy stones.

    The total price of these energy stones is hundreds of millions of star coins. If calculated according to the price list of "cosmic energy", Xie Xingchen can only get a 15% discount at most.

    However, this is a long-term stable purchase, so after signing a long-term purchase contract with "Universal Energy", his batch of goods was discounted by 30%. In the end, he spent 75 million star coins and gave it to Xie Xingchen at once.Saved more than 10 million star coins.

    Xie Xingchen is satisfied.

    He put the contract into the space button, first confirmed the batch delivery time with the "Universal Energy" people, and then told the robot left behind on the earth, remember to go to the express base station to receive the goods tomorrow.

    For large transactions, it is generally the most cost-effective way to deliver goods to your door by starship or spaceship.

    But Xie Xingchen was not on the earth, so he didn't dare to open the earth shield at will.

    So he can only ask others to deliver a few boxes of energy stones to him first, so that energy can be available on the other side of the earth, and the remaining energy stones will be delivered to the door by "Universal Energy" after the "trading day".

    However, due to the relatively remote location of the earth, the speed of delivery in large quantities may be slower, because "Cosmic Energy" does not send energy stones to the earth alone, but sets the optimal delivery route after collecting orders for the entire trading day.

    Generally, this kind of delivery route, a remote place like the earth, has a high probability of being ranked behind.

    After being informed of the news, Xie Xingchen nodded indifferently.

    Anyway, the energy stones sent today are enough to last the earth for a month.

    And there are only seven trading days in total.

    After seven days, the delivery people set off. No matter how slow they are, they can't be so slow that they won't be able to deliver the goods next month, right?

    Xie Xingchen said goodbye to the Stone Clan man with a smile, and then walked all the way to the place where the robots were sold.

    As we all know, there is a strange contradiction between human civilization and mechanical civilization.

    These contradictions are caused by long-term historical reasons.

    In Xie Xingchen's view, the starting point of this contradiction can be summed up in one sentence - I made you, and you helped me work. Originally, your status was low, but one day you awakened inexplicably, so I lost a working robot.Say, you still want to sit on an equal footing with me?

    Simply summed up in five words - unbalanced mind.

    Although it is biased to say this, a considerable part of human beings think so.

    Based on the ideas of such people, some robot companies launched light intelligent robots in due course.

    As a result, the light and intelligent robots became an instant hit, and they made a lot of money.

    But Xie Xingchen doesn't like lightly intelligent robots.

    He felt that the lightly intelligent robots that appeared for this reason carried a mockery of mechanical life.

    It's just that this ridicule was not made explicit, but secretly.

    So Xie Xingchen never buys smart robots, he only buys smart robots, and if he doesn’t want smart robots, he buys machinery and equipment.

    So, why bother with a lightly intelligent robot?

    Mechanical civilization expressly prohibits the sale of robots, so those who sell robots are people from other civilizations, among which the human civilization is the most.

    I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that since entering this booth, most of these people looked at Fa Cai very strangely.

    But every time he looked back, others were busy with their own affairs, which made him wonder if he was supercilious.

    Xie Xingchen couldn't help frowning until he stood in front of a booth selling robots and wanted to make a fortune to come forward to negotiate the price, but the other party responded with the excuse of "refusing to bargain with robots".

    At the beginning, he tried to explain to that person that his family's Fa Cai was different from ordinary robots. His family's Fa Cai was very capable and knew more about robots than he did, blah blah blah...

    However, after the other party heard these words, the smile on the corner of his mouth came down, and he said awkwardly: "Mr. Xie, what you said may be just your illusion, it is just a machine that operates on programs, and has no thoughts of its own."

    Hearing this, the smile in Xie Xingchen's eyes suddenly disappeared. He gave the clerk a cold look, and his demeanor changed from approachable to intimidating.

    It was a scary thing for a gentle person to suddenly become cold, and the staff on the opposite side were frightened by Xie Xingchen.

    Although he was still extremely unwilling to communicate with robots, under Xie Xingchen's extremely oppressive gaze, he still reluctantly talked to Fa Cai.

    And the foolish getting rich really made Xie Xingchen have a heart attack.

    When someone chatted with him, he actually forgot that they looked down on him just now, and then they really chatted with him?

    Xie Xingchen: Exploding in situ.jpg

    Feeling that if he stayed here any longer, he would explode with rage, Xie Xingchen cast a stern look on Fa Cai, glanced at the man coldly, and left.

    His obvious displeasure naturally caused discussions among those around him who had been paying attention to him.

    Some said that the merchant discriminated against the robot too much, and some said that Xie Xingchen was hypocritical, and his employees didn't say anything rude, but just refused to communicate with the robot. Seeing that he was unhappy, why not chat with the robot?Xie Xingchen left with a straight face like this is really not a gentleman.

    Anyway, there is everything to say, whether it is a person who stands for Xie Xingchen or a person who does not stand for Xie Xingchen, they all have their own views on this matter.

    And some "opinions" sounded too harsh, so harsh that Xie Xingchen was in a bad mood after hearing it.

    Although he has always known that there are conflicts between human civilization and mechanical civilization, he came to the earth not long after crossing, and he has stayed on the earth since then.

    This is the first time he has faced this weird contradiction directly!

    Maybe making a fortune in the eyes of others is just a robot, they are not even mechanical life, what is there to be angry about?

    But in Xie Xingchen's eyes, Chang Shou and others are not just robots, they have been with him for a year, accompanying him from scratch!

    "Boss, don't be angry, I'm not angry either." Fa Cai Hanhan persuaded him.

    In the end, his words made Xie Xingchen even angrier.

    This Sabi, the employees of the shop that sells robots despise him just now, he can't even see it.

    He thought his robots were smart before, but now it seems that they are so smart, they are so stupid.

    Because of this matter, Xie Xingchen was blocked in his heart, and he didn't want to visit the robot booth anymore.

    Forget it, the small businessman who cooperated with me before is pretty good, I’d better buy it from him in the future, the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is, and he recognizes the money, so let’s support the development of a conscientious business, otherwise such a big oneThe robot market is occupied by these scumbags, and it is suffocating to think about it.

    Xie Xingchen walked quickly with a wave of anger that hadn't dissipated.

    As a result, he unknowingly came to the site of the planter, the owner of the plantation manor, and the owner of the plantation planet.

    The booth here is very different from other places.

    Other places are full of bare booths, but here is indeed a sea of plants.

    All kinds of colorful plants are placed on the shelves by the growers.

    The plants on the high and low shelves are of different colors and shapes, which are pleasing to the eye from a distance, and even more extraordinary when viewed up close.

    Well, what a beautiful flower!

    Xie Xingchen felt that his eyes were not enough.

    The people here seem to have brought the most beautiful plants from every planet in the universe, and decorated it like the most beautiful paradise in nature!

    Feeling / can't help / forbid to step into it.

    Smelling the faint fragrance of plants in the air, Xie Xingchen finally calmed down.

    Walking along the exhibition road, Xie Xingchen saw more and more precious plants.

    Walking around the corner, he even saw Yu Cheng's booth and the velvet flower on his booth that was surrounded by people and tried to get it at a high price.
