Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

For four whole days, Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen did not do any work; every day, with nothing to do, they just wandered around everywhere, and this brief "vacation" passed quickly.

On this day, Li Chen walked back to the shop from outside.

"How did it go?" Jiang Wenyu asked.

Li Chen took a deep breath, sat down, lit a cigarette, and said, "I grabbed a technician. He said those hundred-plus appliances have basically all been repaired. Wang Tao started looking for buyers today, but I think it's impossible to sell that many things all at once. However, that guy set the prices quite low; some good items were sold off cheap. What a waste."

Jiang Wenyu said, "Then let's wait a bit more."

This afternoon, perhaps because Wang Tao felt selling them one by one was a bit too troublesome, he actually directly set up a stall at the spot with the most foot traffic inside the Mall, brought out all the repaired appliances, and set prices that weren't high, even labeling them with "quality guaranteed" tags, with people Wang Tao found hawking everywhere.

Li Chen and Jiang Wenyu just watched coldly from a corner in the back.

Li Chen remarked, "Not to mention, this guy saying he has some capital isn't false. This Mall really has become an excellent sales venue."

Jiang Wenyu thought the same as him and said, "He does have this capital. If we could have a Mall like this, this year's pure profit…"

Mentioning this, Li Chen and Jiang Wenyu both silently calculated in their hearts, and then both broke out in a cold sweat. They looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads.

"Let's not think about these things for now. Even if the profit is large, we two rarely have this opportunity. Taking it step by step is the steadiest way."

Li Chen nodded, also quite agreeing with Jiang Wenyu's opinion. The two finally prepared to turn and leave.

"Leaving this fast?"

Wang Tao's voice came from the side, causing their steps to pause slightly as they were just about to leave.

Looking back, Wang Tao walked over with a face full of smiles. Just looking at that smug look, one knew how happy he was.

Li Chen immediately darkened his face. Wang Tao walked over, chuckling, patted Li Chen on the shoulder, and said, "Why the long face? Relax, you do your thing, I do mine, we don't interfere with each other. I still have to thank you guys, gave me a heads-up. This appliance business really makes money. These things cost a few hundred total to collect, selling them all can earn over a thousand. The cost is also very low. Mm, not bad, not bad. How about it, you want to buy a couple pieces to take back?"

Seeing Li Chen still not making a sound, Wang Tao turned to Jiang Wenyu and said, "Mr. Jiang, see? This is my, Wang Tao's, strength. I won't say that sentence. As long as Mr. Jiang wants to, please come find me anytime."

Until now, Wang Tao still had not given up on roping in Jiang Wenyu, but it was no longer as urgent as before, because Wang Tao believed he had grasped the method.

After a bout of cold mockery and hot sarcasm directed at them, Wang Tao finally left. Li Chen said disdainfully, "What's there to be smug about? I just don't get it. Wang Tao is about the same age as me this year, right? Where did he inherit such a big Mall from?"

Jiang Wenyu shook his head and said, "Don't think about it. Some people are born down on their luck, some are born wealthy. The latter live without worry; the former can only go step by step, feet on the ground, like us. Believe me, Li Chen. When a person is too arrogant, there will always come a day they trip up, and what trips them is the very thing they are most confident in."

In the afternoon, the stall Wang Tao hired people to set up was bustling with people. In just a single afternoon, the originally large spread of small appliances on the stall had already been reduced by half. This sales speed couldn't help but make one look on with envy.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Wang Tao's hundred-plus small appliances were all sold out. He was already happily sitting in his Office counting money.

Excluding the wages paid to the technicians, he still had a full thousand-plus yuan left before his eyes! Although they were all ordinary small appliances collected, and the selling prices weren't very high, this made Wang Tao even more confident!

Over a thousand yuan in just a few days. This kind of income was already close to surpassing the Mall's daily earnings.

"Hahaha, never felt making money could be this easy!"

Thinking again of Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen, Wang Tao became even more smug.

He no longer urgently invited Jiang Wenyu to cooperate, and even stopped caring about them. This way of getting money made Wang Tao extremely excited, even manic.

Another day later, when Wang Tao got up early preparing to send people to collect some more old appliances, a person suddenly rushed in anxiously from outside.

That person was panting heavily, pushed the door open and entered, and without even a greeting said directly, "Boss… something happened!"

Wang Tao had been happy all last night and didn't sleep well; his face even sported two dark circles. He turned back impatiently and said, "What thing is so urgent? Right now, my matters here are the most important. Understand?"
