阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案
Balzac（巴尔扎克）was good at buying things at its lowest price．One day he wanted to buy a vase （花瓶）in a shop window, the price of which, however, was much higher than he could offer．Not being able to make the shopkeeper cut down its price very much, he left without further talking．Collecting a half dozen of his friends, he explained his wish to them and they worked out a plan．The first would enter the shop and make an offer, lower than the marked price．Not getting the vase at his price, he would walk out．Shortly after another would enter and ask for a lower price than the first．In this way, each of the others would offer a price lower than the one before, and the last of his friends made a great effort to attempt to get it at the lowest price．Before long Balzac himself would return, offer more than the last two or three persons made and trust to luck．The plan worked --Balzac got the vase at his price!
