The shop assistant was surprised at the fact that Xiang Caiping had really enquired about it. "Ma'am, this is jadeite, the king of all jades originating from Burma. This jade was originally—"
"Young lady, just get to the point and tell me how much it costs."
"Ma'am, this piece is priced at 550,000. Now that we have a store-wide 20% discount, it's 440,000 after the discount."
Xiang Caiping crinkled her brows when she heard that. "That isn't a nice price. 440,000 — that doesn't have a nice ring to it at all. Ask your boss if you can let it go for 390,000 — so that it implies perpetuity." (TL Note: In Chinese numerology, 3399 means everlasting and forever.)
Truthfully speaking, no matter how great these jade accessories were, they all still were a little overpriced. From the way she perceived it, this jade Buddha was worth around 300,000.
