Huang Defa understood the importance of printing technology. Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind. "Fine, I'll put up the five thousand taels." Liu Ye'er smiled slightly, but refused to commit just yet. "Not so fast. When you bring the silver, it'll be cash on delivery."
The value of movable type went without saying. Liu Ye'er knew that if she let Huang Defa inspect the goods beforehand, the five-thousand-tael deal would fall through. The crux of this transaction lay in who played their trump card first. The psychological chess match between the two grew increasingly tense, a silent battle unfolding before them.
Liu Ye'er's words were filled with confidence and wit, while Huang Defa harbored a mix of anxiety and determination. In the end, Huang Defa accepted the price and completed the transaction.
