Starting Off With A Blacksmith Workshop - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Price Positioning

The finished knife was placed in front of Li Zhenhua,

Li Zhenhua felt a burst of joy looking at the exceptionally beautiful knife in front of him.

It was also the first time he had forged such a patterned steel. Before this, he had never forged anything with a Damascus pattern.

“What do you think about this knife?”

With that, Li Zhenhua handed the knife in his hand to Guo Shugui.

They were his buyers after all. If the buyer was not satisfied, he would not be able to sell this knife.

Guo Shugui took the knife from Li Zhenhua. His eyes were immediately drawn to it.

He’d never seen such a beautiful knife. Not even in the most exclusive Western restaurant.

They had never seen a knife with this pattern. At most, they used silver utensils.

But most of them were made from molds, and the one in his hand was forged by himself.

It felt like the rims on a sports car, they were mostly forged by hand. And one of the Alto Happy Prince’s rims was one of those cast-iron rims.

At this thought, Guo Shugui immediately felt that the table knife in his hand had become more impressive.

“Huazi, this knife is really amazing. With such a beautiful appearance and the sharpness of previous experiments, This is definitely going to make whoever owns the knife fall in love with it.’

Guo Shugui was not stingy with his praise. Even though there was a hint of exaggeration, the knife did give him a good feeling.

“Show me, too. Let me, the first victim, see how the knife works!”

Liu Xiaodong came over from the side and took the knife from Guo Shugui’s hand.

He went to the side with the knife and rolled up his pants.

A fat leg was revealed in front of the two of them again. Liu Xiaodong bent down with the knife.

Guo Shugui shouted seeing Liu Xiaodong’s actions.

“Please have mercy.”

Liu Xiaodong looked at Guo Shugui’s anxious expression and could not help but speed up his movements.

In the end, Guo Shugui could not stop Liu Xiaodong. The knife was pushed against Liu Xiaodong’s thigh hair.

Nothing was left wherever the blade passed.

At this moment, Guo Shugui’s mood was as if he had been f*cked by a dog. He had originally thought that this created knife had a sentimental meaning.

His idea had been to collect it, but now that idea was gone. He didn’t want to collect a knife that had shaved someone’s leg.

Moreover, it was such a big fat leg. If this was a knife that scraped a beautiful woman’s garden, he would definitely not behave like this.

“Fatty, how can you do this? How can you shave your legs with this knife!”

Guo Shugui’s heart ached for Liu Xiaodong.

“Haha, now you won’t snatch it from me, Hanako. This knife is mine! Smash a number on the handle later.”

Faced with such a shameless Liu Xiaodong, Guo Shugui was helpless.

“Alright, stop fooling around. How do you guys feel about this knife?

If sold, how much could such a knife fetch?”

Li Zhenhua asked the two of them. He was actually very nervous.

After all, this was his first major business deal. He didn’t want to mess this up.

“Hua Zi, you’re also a weirdo. I’m the buyer here, and you’re actually asking me the price? If you ask me, give it to me for free!”

Guo Shugui seemed to suddenly asked Li Zhenhua.

“Ahahaha, I actually forgot about this. Sorry, then ~ How much do you think is suitable!”

Even though Li Zhenhua said that he was sorry, he asked Guo Shugui for the price again.

“If you ask me, I’ll sell them for 60 yuan each.”

Guo Shugui did not answer, but Liu Xiaodong did voice his opinion.

Hearing Liu Xiaodong’s price, Guo Shugui retorted impolitely.

“Oh, you’re such a good brother. You haven’t even done a market survey yet. You set the price of something. You can say you’re making things up.”

“Why? Do you have an opinion? So what if I’m Brother Hua’s good brother? Are you jealous?

This knife is so beautiful. It’s definitely worth 60 yuan!”

Guo Shugui spoke disdainfully to Liu Xiaodong’s answer.

“I’m not that jealous.”

Guo Shugui turned to Li Zhenhua.

“Hua Zi, let me tell you, if you sell this knife on the market, it will definitely sell like crazy.

Well, my price may not be too accurate,

But I think with the quality of this one, it should sell for no less than 180 yuan.”

Li Zhenhua’s eyes widened when he heard Guo Shugui’s price. He couldn’t believe it.

When he heard Liu Xiaodong’s price, he already found it unbelievable.

However, he did not expect Guo Shugui to offer such a price. This was 120 yuan higher than the price Liu Xiaodong had mentioned.

Li Zhenhua asked Guo Shugui in a puzzled tone.

“Guoba, how much can this sell for? 200 yuan?”

Guo Shugui listened to Li Zhenhua’s question and said to him matter-of-factly,

“Of course, you have to remember that this knife is handmade.

It was a world of difference from the kind sold on the market. I remembered that in my father’s kitchen, there was a set of silver cutlery that my mother had bought from Le Coq Gaulois.

That set cost her 1,000 euros. Each knife would at least cost 200 euros. It would be 2,000 euros if she were to buy them individually!

You know what the funniest thing is?

I saw a line of letters on the package. It read ‘Made in China Yiwu’.

I didn’t have the heart to tell my mother.”

Li Zhenhua felt that the world of the rich might really be incomprehensible after hearing Guo Shugui’s words.

If it was calculated according to the actual value and his handicraft fees, he thought that he could only buy it for 20 to 30 yuan at most.

The 60 yuan that Liu Xiaodong mentioned was already an astronomical price.

“Poverty limits the imagination. It’s like the easiest money in the world is these rich people’s money.”

When Li Zhenhua accepted Guo Shugui’s words, he sighed.

While the two of them were talking, the fat Liu Xiaodong was scratching his leg with a knife.

Moreover, one leg had already completed its transformation. All the leg hair had already fallen to the ground.

The leg in fur pants had also become a bare-legged divine artifact.

Moreover, Liu Xiaodong’s other leg was almost done shaving.

Li Zhenhua seemed to have made a decision. He turned to look at Guo Shugui.

“Guoba, I’ve decided. I’ll set the price of this knife at 150 yuan. Is that okay with you?”

Hey, this means I can sell this batch of knives for 150,000 yuan!

That’s a lot of money!”

Guo Shugui did not react much. He looked at Li Zhenhua.

“Look at how useless you are. Isn’t it just 150,000 yuan!

This was back in the old days, at the racetrack,

Tires wear out for more than that in a day over there.”

Li Zhenhua listened to Guo Shugui’s words. He really deserved a beating.

He also felt that he was too easily satisfied now. If his cheat, the Goldfinger, could speak, it would definitely scold him for being useless.

“Then we’ll start mass-producing according to this current batch!”
