Chapter 256: Da Yizi's Sudden Fortune
Hard, huh?
Da Yizi said there is no channel, "I feel the 2 million copies last time was already their limit."
"Whether it's a limit or not, in the end it's still about sales, right?"
"Just wait then."
Xu Yuexin hung up the phone full of confidence, not feeling any need to expand channels right now.
In just a few days, Chun Yuan Yinxiang Company produced 4 million Cassette Tapes.
Xu Yuexin told the distributors about it, and thereafter his days were filled with busy contract signings.
Often he would meet one distributor in the morning and have to see another in the afternoon.
In half a month he sold all 4 million Cassette Tapes, bringing in 4.4 million! It wasn't exactly four million because he raised the price halfway when the market looked good.
"As we agreed beforehand, you and I split it half each."
After selling the tapes, Xu Yuexin went to Tuanjie Lake and discussed the settlement with Da Yizi.
"Isn't there still an 800,000 cost?"
Da Yizi, puzzled, said, "Let's deduct that amount first."
"No need, I'll cover that 800,000."
Xu Yuexin said so generously.
Da Yizi didn't expect Xu Yuexin to make such an arrangement.
Although Xu Yuexin had often looked after her during their previous partnership, today it was a full 800,000.
"Let's split it then; you take 2.4 million, I take 2.0 million."
Da Yizi shook her head and said.
"No need to trouble yourself; if there's a similar cost next time, you can bear it."
Xu Yuexin persisted.
Xu Yuexin wasn't short of money; giving Da Yizi an extra few hundred thousand was just a drizzle to him.
Seeing Xu Yuexin's arrangement, Da Yizi had to accept.
……
A few days later, Da Yizi's account received 2.2 million.
"We've made so much money, want to relax a bit?"
After transferring the money at the bank, Xu Yuexin suggested to Da Yizi.
"How do you want to relax?"
Da Yizi suspected Xu Yuexin's words weren't well‑meaning.
She just thought of how much Xu Yuexin had looked after her, so she couldn't show it in words.
"Let's go to Xiangjiang for a trip."
Xu Yuexin said, "It's a good time; I also want to see how the company is doing."
"Just the two of us? How about inviting Qiao Qiao?"
Da Yizi suggested.
"She has to work; where would she find time."
Xu Yuexin waved his hand and said, "It's settled; tomorrow I'll buy the tickets."
"Buy for whatever day, and we'll go that day."
The next morning, Xu Yuexin went to Capital International Airport and booked two tickets to Xiangjiang.
After buying the tickets, he called Da Yizi.
"The tickets are booked, for the noon flight."
"You come to the airport quickly."
"Leaving at noon? Wait a moment, I'll pack my luggage."
"No need to pack; I have clothes for you in the house over there."
After hanging up, Xu Yuexin waited for Da Yizi in the airport lounge.
After a short while, Da Yizi arrived.
"What time is the noon ticket?"
In the lounge, Da Yizi took a sip of milk and asked Xu Yuexin.
"11:30, two hours left."
Xu Yuexin said to Da Yizi, "Think carefully, what do you want to buy on this trip to Xiangjiang?"
"I want to buy two dresses."
"And a bag."
Da Yizi thought for a moment and said.
"Should we buy an apartment there?"
Xu Yuexin suggested, "You only have one house in Jingcheng so far."
"That's enough to live in; why buy so much?" Da Yizi brushed it off.
"Money in hand will depreciate."
Xu Yuexin reminded her.
"Anyway I have several million in hand; even if it depreciates, it won't matter."
Da Yizi was full of self‑confidence.
"Fine, since I can't persuade you, I won't try."
Anyway, as long as I'm here, I won't let her become poor in the future.
Xu Yuexin thought to himself.
About two hours later, Xu Yuexin and Da Yizi boarded a plane together, heading for Xiangjiang.
The plane flew smoothly; he and Da Yizi took a nap on board, and when the plane landed they still felt a bit reluctant to part.
The two first went to Taiping Shan to take a shower, changed into new clothes, and then Xu Yuexin drove a Rolls‑Royce to take Da Yizi into the Urban Area for shopping.
When they arrived at Central, Da Yizi, without a word, headed straight for Hermès.
They had originally planned to buy one bag, but ended up buying two, spending a full 12,000.
That was 12,000 at the end of 1983, definitely high‑luxury.
After buying the bags, Da Yizi spent another 20,000 to purchase two custom Hermès dresses.
In the blink of an eye, over 30,000 was gone.
Even Xu Yuexin, a billionaire, was amazed by Da Yizi's spending speed.
Given this spending style and her lack of financial awareness, she will inevitably become poor sooner or later.
Xu Yuexin pondered.
Of course, being a bit poor is fine.
Once Da Yizi becomes poor, she won't be able to leave him, hehe.
That night, the two ate dinner, and Da Yizi requested to go to a supposedly romantic waterside restaurant.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Xu Yuexin agreed.
After entering and starting to order, Xu Yuexin realized the prices were steep; even a casual meal would cost around 5,000.
This was Xiangjiang in 1983, where 5,000 equaled about half a typical family's six‑month living expenses.
"No need to save money for me."
At the best‑located table, Da Yizi saw Xu Yuexin still holding the menu without ordering, and smiled, "No matter how much we eat tonight, it's on me."
"Alright, then I won't be polite."
Xu Yuexin gave a slight smile, deciding to let Da Yizi taste a bit of society's harshness.
He ordered an expensive Qing Stone grouper and a king crab.
Just these two dishes alone added up to a full 4,000.
Da Yizi saw his order and didn't blink an eye.
This sudden influx of money from selling songs dramatically changed her spending mindset.
Before long, the dishes they ordered were brought out one after another.
Steamed Qing Stone grouper, king crab, Australian lobster…
All the dishes together cost a full 8,000.
And that's it, not even counting the tip for the server.
Xu Yuexin and Da Yizi sat by a bedside that overlooked the water view, eating seafood while sipping Romanée‑Conti wine, and unwittingly stayed in the restaurant until late night.
You get what you pay for; this restaurant's prices are indeed exorbitant, but the atmosphere is romantic.
Xu Yuexin lingered there, and time slipped by unnoticed.
"Let's go."
Xu Yuexin glanced at his watch and said to Da Yizi.
"Hmm, don't try to race me to pay the bill."
Da Yizi gently stroked her slightly tipsy face and smiled at Xu Yuexin.
The recent wave of wealth made Da Yizi experience the thrill of spending.
Spending money is so delightful that she became somewhat addicted, unable to pull herself out.
After Da Yizi finished swiping her card on the POS machine, Xu Yuexin took her hand and went downstairs, getting into the Rolls‑Royce.
"Any plans for tomorrow?"
After getting in the car, Xu Yuexin asked Da Yizi.
"Continue shopping, buy things."
Da Yizi replied without hesitation.
