Although the chubby man appeared to be vague and honest, and seemed to get along well with these folks, it wasn't hard to see that he still had a strong mind.
Now he asked the other party how much money they wanted, which would benefit him in making an offer.
If he suddenly raised the price too high, it would be too much of a loss for him.
That's precisely why he posed the question.
Upon hearing this, the dark-skinned man clearly looked puzzled.
Sitting there, his hands constantly rubbing together, with a face full of nervousness, he didn't know how much money he should ask for.
Although he heard the chubby man previously mention the possibility of offering a thousand taels price, he was now unsure and didn't know if the other party could accept that price, making him hesitate to speak up.
He wanted to ask for a thousand taels of silver, but feared the other party would refuse.
Or they might simply stop negotiating altogether.
