When Chen Haoxuan arrived at the bank in Pingyuan County to withdraw fifty thousand cash and returned to Chen Family Village, he saw a large crowd of villagers gathered at his doorstep, chatting among themselves.
"Chen Haoxuan is back!" one villager shouted loudly upon seeing him, seemingly eager for everyone to know he had spotted Chen Haoxuan.
Li Ping jogged over to Chen Haoxuan's side and quietly said, "Xuan, they don't believe you have the money to buy their Shatian Pomelo."
"It's fine; it's normal for them not to believe it. But once they see the money, they won't need me to explain; they'll believe it," Chen Haoxuan replied confidently.
Chen Haoxuan walked to his doorstep, which was elevated enough for the villagers to see him. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Dear elders and fellow villagers of Chen Family Village, hello! Today, as Li Ping mentioned, I am here to buy the Shatian Pomelo that you have stored at home. The pomelos you have are from last year that didn't sell. You've probably grown tired of them yourself; if left too long, they will spoil. If you don't want to eat them and feel reluctant to give them away, it would be a shame if they went bad. So why not sell your Shatian Pomelo to me?"
"The good ones will be one dollar and fifty cents per pound; the average ones will be one dollar; the poor quality ones will be fifty cents. If you have Shatian Pomelo from old trees that taste exceptional, I'll pay two dollars per pound—all in cash. I have brought the money with me, so as long as you sell me your Shatian Pomelo now, you can receive your payment immediately. We will exchange goods for cash on the spot—no one owes anyone anything. Lastly, I want to remind you not to try any tricks by giving me good samples while selling me inferior ones. If I find out about this, you won't be able to do business with me in the future." As he spoke, Chen Haoxuan pulled out a thick stack of RMB notes from his bag.
Upon seeing the money, the villagers' doubts vanished instantly. After all, Chen Haoxuan had stated that payment would be made upon delivery; what was there to worry about? If he didn't pay, they simply wouldn't sell.
At that moment, the large Electronic Scale that Chen Haoxuan had purchased was delivered. He then asked Li Ping to invite a few women over to help out for a day's wage of one hundred. The villagers began bringing their Shatian Pomelo from their homes to Chen Haoxuan's doorstep as he started his first business transaction in Chen Family Village.
"Uncle, your Shatian Pomelo is quite good! It tastes great. Are all of yours like this?" After tasting a villager's Shatian Pomelo, Chen Haoxuan smiled and asked.
"Of course! I wouldn't lie to you since we're all from the same village. Plus, you should know that my pomelo trees are over six years old and I've taken great care of them; how could they not taste good?" the villager replied proudly.
"Alright then, I trust you. How about I take all your Shatian Pomelo at two dollars per pound?" Chen Haoxuan smiled. He had no idea who this villager was or about his orchard since he came from the future. However, hearing what he said made Chen Haoxuan believe it was true; after all, there were so many villagers present that if he were lying about selling inferior goods, others would surely speak up. Even if they didn't say anything, Chen Yina would inform him.
"Okay, let's go with two dollars per pound," the villager said happily. Previously when he sold his Shatian Pomelo elsewhere, it was also at two dollars per pound. He never expected Chen Haoxuan's purchasing price would be so high; he thought it would be much easier from now on—he could just sell directly to Chen Haoxuan without any hassle.
"Exactly 1800 pounds, at two dollars a pound, that makes 3600 dollars. Here is the 3600 dollars, please take a look." Chen Haoxuan handed the 3600 dollars to the villager.
Earlier, Chen Haoxuan had already instructed Li Ping to move the weighed Shatian Pomelos into his living room. Li Ping, along with several women, began to carefully transport the Shatian Pomelos.
Seeing that Chen Haoxuan was really giving money, and such a large amount at that, the villagers who had not yet brought their Shatian Pomelos were tempted and hurried home to prepare to bring their Shatian Pomelos to sell to Chen Haoxuan.
Having an Electronic Scale was convenient; as soon as it was placed down, it showed how many pounds there were. With Chen Haoxuan's sharp mind, he could calculate the total weight and cost in an instant without needing a calculator. Chen Family Village had nearly a thousand households, each growing quite a few Shatian Pomelos, so there were still many unsold from last year. In just a few hours, Chen Haoxuan collected over ten thousand pounds, filling his living room to the brim.
There was only one Electronic Scale, so they could only weigh one batch at a time, which kept Chen Haoxuan busy until late into the night. In the evening, he asked Chen Yina's father, Chen Yuebin, to help install a Light Tube at his front door.
It wasn't until deep into the night that Chen Haoxuan finished up. He calculated that he had collected over twenty-one thousand pounds of Shatian Pomelos that day.
The next morning, Chen Haoxuan was woken up by noise; it turned out that some people had just learned about his high prices for purchasing Shatian Pomelos and were worried their own would not sell. So they rushed early in the morning to bring their Shatian Pomelos to Chen Haoxuan's house. He didn't even have time for breakfast and quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face before continuing to buy the villagers' Shatian Pomelos.
By noon, there were very few villagers left selling Shatian Pomelos; half an hour passed without anyone coming. Chen Haoxuan realized that there weren't many Shatian Pomelos left in Chen Family Village, so he announced that he would stop purchasing them. This news was conveyed by Li Ping. Additionally, Chen Haoxuan asked Li Ping to inform people in Chen Family Village and nearby villages that he was also buying Osmanthus Trees and bamboo.
Chen Haoxuan made a phone call to a Fruit Wholesaler to arrange for a truck to come pick up the Shatian Pomelos. He followed the truck to the Fruit Wholesaler's warehouse. The wholesaler was a chubby man around thirty years old named Xu Shibai.
"Hello Boss Xu, I am Chen Haoxuan. Today I brought you over twenty thousand pounds of Shatian Pomelos; they are all of excellent quality and I have categorized them by grade," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile as he shook hands with Xu Shibai.
"Hello! You are truly impressive! To be able to gather so many Shatian Pomelos at this time is remarkable; no wonder President Hua from Hua Group praises you as a business genius," Xu Shibai replied with a smile.
"That's just President Hua joking," Chen Haoxuan humbly responded.
After chatting for a while, Chen Haoxuan and Xu Shibai began discussing business. Due to the rarity of Shatian Pomelo in the market at this time, the Shatian Pomelo that Chen Haoxuan purchased could be sold at a good price.
Based on the quality of the taste, Chen Haoxuan made over twenty thousand yuan from these Shatian Pomelo.
When Chen Haoxuan returned to Chen Family Village, he did not see many people around. He guessed that they might have gone into the mountains to look for items for him to purchase.
