| Merchant Chinese society lived and breathed economics, and merchants were were everywhere, businesspeople rich and poor who tried to make thier living from buying and selling whatever they could. People from this background grew up in the world of trade, and they have been taught the "art" of trading, which in a country where haggling is an art in itself, it a fine skill to have indeed. They take great pride in their bartering skills, and will rarely let themselves pass a bargain by. Of course, to make sure they can get the best deals, they have allied themselves with at least one secret soceity, and there's also their own web of family contacts backing them up.
