bargaining is an ART in china.
i suck at bargaining but getting better.
last month, i bought a vase in Zhongshan.
quoted price was RMB 8,ooo.
a 1.8m huge vase. Painted with 100 virgin boys. For fengshui purposes.
i asked for discount, and was rejected with some bullshit abt the vase is from some ancient dynasty.
i turned and walked off.
the boss then pulled me back and offered RMB 6,ooo.
i was grinning, thinking to myself, all i did was turn around and walked 3 steps and i get RMB 2,ooo discount, enough for a KTV model FS session.
i was about to take out my wallet, when my PRC driver, who was standing behind me all this time, dragged me away, and shouted at the boss "RMB 5oo, take it or leave it~!!!"
I was about to tell my driver to STFU..
when the boss cursed something in his dialect, then replied..
"RMB 8oo, take it or leave it..."
