Even if we end up selling them to other vendors, we’ll still make a killing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them were buzzing with excitement when they saw Jiang Tao, and in just a few sentences, they already explained the reason for the tangerine price surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, the credit really goes to my buddy—if anyone’s a prophet, it’s him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take good advice and you’ll never go hungry. The guy made millions while he’s still young; of course he’s got skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao sat calmly at the table, but inside he was just as psyched!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He invested the most in this tangerine venture—he’d really be counting cash until his hands went numb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I knew it’d be such a sure deal, I would’ve taken out that 100k I had stashed in the bank!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me about it!

Miss them, and they’re gone for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of regrets, Zhang Chao had it worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right in front of his eyes, all the guys he hung out with made a tidy sum—except him, not a dime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jiang, next time there’s a chance to make a killing, you’d better call us too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! We’re brothers here, we make money together. Just eat your fill, and after breakfast, let’s load up those tangerines and get ready to fight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhiyuan and the guys weren’t shy around Jiang Tao; everyone ordered their favorite breakfast foods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a hearty meal, the four of them drove their trucks to the small yard Jiang Tao was renting and started loading up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, which happens to be Friday—the day of the big Sha River market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sha River market covers 60,000 square meters, with over 60,000 visitors each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the year, even more people come to shop for New Year’s goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The market was bustling, people brushing past each other, picking out what they needed from the various stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them drove their trucks to the fruit area in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, there’d be at least 10 or so vendors selling tangerines at the Sha River market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the four of them had become the \"gods\" ruling tangerines at Sha River market.\u003C\u002Fp>",1300,"2026-05-30T11:56:10.692Z","2026-06-01T04:31:10.297Z",1,"novelbin.me","1328469f1fc8b90e35a592e394ff7f61c3e307a6326d1d410a4c106242601fda","daily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-chapter-33","daily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-chapter-31",544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdaily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-cover.jpg"]
