Chapter 18: Isolda Evergarden IV (1)
In trading goods, there was one important difference between a customer and a merchant.
That was... basically, the customer approached the merchant with trust, but the merchant approached the customer with distrust.
Most customers who simply wanted to buy goods didn't consider things in detail. They bought the goods based on feelings, and wouldn’t care even if the price was a bit high, or even if there was an obvious trick in how the product was being advertised. Even if they noticed it, they would talk it out in moderation.
That phenomenon inevitably occurred due to the limitation or lack of information and because the customer was in fact was the target consumer of the product.
Therefore, customers basically had no choice but to trust the transaction process and the merchant.
Even if there was doubt, their insistence on wanting the merchant to be honest would be quite low.
Because what they ultimately pursued was convenience and pleasure, not profit.
However, that was not the case with merchants.
The purpose of a merchant was to make a bigger profit on every single penny by any means.
As their livelihood depended on trade and profit, merchants didn’t have the luxury to seek convenience, so they don’t hesitate to travel long distances and travel to various places to make a profit.
In addition, as the amount of information they have on the product was different from that of customers, they inevitably doubt the other party when conducting transactions, and they must do so.
On the other hand, if the other party was a merchant like him, rather than a customer approaching with trust in him, the merchant has to fight a hard hard battle.
Because they already know that the other was basically telling lies for the sake of profit.
That invisible battle between merchants was called bargaining.
The battle would last until they both reached a proper understanding of the other party and succeed in balancing their interests. Finally, the continuous battle would be over and through it they would get to know each other somewhat clearly, creating a different kind of trust between them in the process.
It would be a trust based on cold and calculated belief.
For that reason, merchants needed to go through countless doubts, trials and errors through bargaining until that kind trust gradually built up.
In other words, doubt and trust were the most necessary virtues and weapons for merchants, and a person without them could be said to have no qualifications as a merchant.
Seeing that, Isolda unknowingly slightly frowned.
‘It’s natural for merchants to seek profit... but this is....’
Logically looking at the situation, Yuria was right.
In this situation, 2000 was too cheap, and if they had made a transaction before, it meant that the girl had made an effort to build some connections.
Even if the scale was small, if there was a person who steadily brought in goods in the current situation, it would be beneficial in the long run to treat them accordingly.
Isolda knew from experience that if a certain amount of treatment was not given to a useful person, they would eventually leave.
However, the man in front of her was completely ignoring that.
He was throwing away his own connections, focusing only on small gains.
At the same time, despite the fact that the other party was an outright merchant, he was engaging in transactions in a vulgar manner suitable for dealing with tourists at a tourist destination.
He was a short-sighted and rude person who didn’t know the value of trust, and if it was up to Isolda she would have immediately gotten rid of him.
Unfortunately, the girl named Yuria in front of her couldn’t think that far.
Judging from the conversation so far, it was clear that this girl also knew that even if it took more effort to find a new buyer, it would be more profitable to sell elsewhere.
