Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Most families still haven't installed color TVs, but they've seen them; it's just that the size of this one in front of us is indeed a bit large.

Wang Tao didn't come out, just sat in the office with a worried frown; the one responsible for selling outside was one of his subordinates.

"This big a thing, how much money would this cost?"

The person in front of the stall immediately said: "Boss Wang said, this color TV that's almost brand new, only two thousand five hundred yuan total!"

Two thousand five hundred yuan, this was the price Wang Tao set helplessly; selling it he'd only lose a few hundred yuan.

But even at this price it was still hard for anyone to buy; some people's faces changed upon hearing the price — their monthly wages were at most a hundred-something yuan, who had spare money to buy this? Wouldn't buying a black-and-white TV be better?

For a moment, most people just watched the excitement, yet no one dared to buy it.

"You're sure this only sells for two thousand five?" At this time, a man's voice intruded into people's view.

Li Chen slowly walked forward; with his eye, one glance could tell the value of this color TV. He'd traveled far and wide for so many years, had countless sales channels, seen too many things ordinary people never see; the value of this thing he could guess just by looking.

Precisely because of this he was a bit curious — what madness had Wang Tao gone into to sell so cheap?

That person immediately said: "Just two thousand five, the price Boss Wang personally set!"

Li Chen stood there pondering carefully, then very straightforwardly said under the astonished gazes of the crowd: "Fine, I'll buy it. You carry it to my appliance shop."

……

"Boss Wang, Boss Wang!"

The office door was pushed open; Wang Tao said with a worried frown: "What is it?"

That person said excitedly: "Boss Wang, the TV sold!"

Scrape!

Hearing this, Wang Tao hurriedly stood up, a trace of joy instantly appearing on his face: "Really sold?"

That person nodded non-stop: "Right, sold at the price you said, already taken away."

Although selling at two thousand five he'd still lose, if it couldn't be sold that would be a real huge loss; right now he also said excitedly: "Good good good, great. Hey right, who bought it?"

People with money to buy this thing shouldn't be many; that person immediately replied: "It's Li Chen from our mall's appliance shop."

"Li Chen!?" Wang Tao froze; it was actually bought by Li Chen?

His excitement instantly lost half; his heart felt indescribably uncomfortable. In the end he still relaxed, saying: "Alright, I know. You go out."

Wang Tao took a deep breath, couldn't be bothered to think further. The thing sold, his loss minimized to the smallest; who bought it didn't matter anymore.

As for that Bai Mulin, mentioning this person made Wang Tao instantly extremely conflicted, but in the end he still made a certain decision.

……

"Damn, is it New Year and you're preparing to treat yourself?" Jiang Wenyu, seeing Li Chen bought such a big color TV back, was instantly a bit surprised. This guy usually spends money in an orderly way; how would he suddenly buy a color TV?

Looking at the surprised Jiang Wenyu, Li Chen hurriedly said: "I'm not using it myself."

Jiang Wenyu leaned over to look a few times, his eyes brightening: "Hmm, not bad. This looks like a secondhand one, but already close to brand new. Where'd you buy it?"

After Li Chen recounted the whole story, Jiang Wenyu pondered slightly, then laughed: "Could it be this is the thing that Bai Mulin produced? I'm a bit curious — judging by this condition it's worth at least eight or nine thousand yuan. Why sell it so cheap?"

Li Chen shrugged: "Still need to ask? Definitely couldn't sell it. I estimate the price is about what you said. In our Chema City, how many can afford this thing? I reckon not even one. But that Bai Mulin is really something — this thing is really secondhand?"
