Chen Haoxuan's salary for Chen Yuebin is not very high, only RMB a month. Chen Yuebin is only responsible for advertising, which is a very easy job. If Chen Haoxuan were to give him a few thousand Renminbi a month, he would think that Chen Haoxuan is pitying him. Considering this, Chen Haoxuan decided to give him just the right amount of salary.
A few days later, Chen Haoxuan hired a recently graduated female university student from the talent market to be his secretary. Don't think that the secretary Chen Haoxuan hired is some extraordinary beauty; if you think that way, you are mistaken. The female university student he hired is just an ordinary girl. What Chen Haoxuan valued was her calculating ability; her mental math skills are impressive, although still far from his own.
This secretary is named Miao Yuxiang, from an ethnic minority in G Province. She was fortunate to meet Chen Haoxuan as soon as she arrived at the talent market. Initially, she was hesitant to go to a remote village alone for fear that Chen Haoxuan might sell her off. However, Chen Haoxuan's eloquence made her willingly follow him to Chen Family Village as his secretary.
The reason is simple: she believed that someone who is so articulate and talented would not be a con artist. If he needed money, he could easily use his talents to earn it; being a con artist wouldn't lead to wealth. Moreover, she came from a poor family and wasn't particularly attractive, so selling her wouldn't fetch much money. On top of that, Chen Haoxuan is quite handsome, which added to her favorable impression of him. Summarizing all these factors, she chose to become Chen Haoxuan's secretary.
With help on board, Chen Haoxuan no longer had to be so busy. He assigned Miao Yuxiang the task of purchasing various plants brought back by villagers from the mountains while he focused on expanding elsewhere. Chen Haoxuan sold a small motorcycle for over six thousand Renminbi, which included all the necessary paperwork. He began riding the motorcycle from village to village, collecting items today in one village and tomorrow in another.
All the items collected by Chen Haoxuan were sent to the outskirts of New City, where there is a large seedling base. The person collaborating with Chen Haoxuan is named Wang Long, who has been in the construction business for over twenty years and has an extensive network of connections, including several officials. Recently, he secured several large projects, including taking on the responsibility for planting trees along a thirty-kilometer road and constructing a large park, along with various smaller businesses.
Chen Haoxuan provides him with a large quantity of various plants daily, which makes Wang Long very happy and grateful that someone from Hua Group introduced him to Chen Haoxuan.
As days passed, Chen Haoxuan's income increased steadily. He became somewhat well-known throughout Pingyuan County; some bosses even directly asked him for help in acquiring items only available in rural areas. As long as the business exceeded ten thousand Renminbi, Chen Haoxuan would take it on.
At this time, farmers had little to do and began going into the mountains to earn money by selling mountain goods that Chen Haoxuan was purchasing. No matter how vast the mountains are, they cannot withstand such exploitation by numerous villagers. The mountain goods collected near the foot of the mountains are now almost depleted; if they want to make money now, they have to venture deeper into the mountains.
Chen Haoxuan felt it was time to pull back; if this continued, the mountain goods he was purchasing would become extinct. He called Wang Long, who told him that he only needed twenty osmanthus trees as thick as a thigh and that he didn't need any more after that.
So, Chen Haoxuan asked Chen Yuebin to notify each household in the village about this. As for those twenty osmanthus trees, he instructed the people of Chen Family Village to look for them since Wang Long wasn't in a hurry.
Although Chen Yuebin went to inform the villagers, many still ventured into the mountains for mountain goods before he could notify them. Therefore, Chen Haoxuan asked Miao Yuxiang to continue collecting until they finished gathering these items before he would stop purchasing altogether.
After instructing Miao Yuxiang to continue purchasing the mountain goods brought in by the villagers, Chen Haoxuan strolled towards Chen Family Village. However, it wasn't just a casual stroll; he was looking for new business opportunities. Unknowingly, he walked to the riverside and saw the clear, bright water. At the dock, several women were washing clothes, and the lush green bamboo swayed gently in the breeze. Chen Haoxuan caught a refreshing scent in the air.
"This place has such a great environment. Once I have money, I'll build a villa by the river," Chen Haoxuan muttered to himself.
Seeing such beautiful scenery and clean water made Chen Haoxuan think about starting a floating business. However, he quickly dismissed the idea as too costly and not worth it. Suddenly, while walking along the riverbank, he tripped over something and looked down to see a strangely shaped stone.
Chen Haoxuan squatted down to pick up the stone and examined it closely. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He exclaimed, "Right! How did I not think of this before? A while ago at Villa Hotel, I saw many beautiful stones! The boss there even told me their prices—some were worth thousands or even tens of thousands."
With this thought in mind, Chen Haoxuan became excited about collecting unique stones. The riverside of Chen Family Village had plenty of stones, and across the river was a small stream with even better stones. With this in mind, he happily walked back home, feeling light on his feet because if luck was on his side and he could collect many beautiful stones, he would make a fortune—at least more than what he earned from purchasing mountain goods.
When Chen Haoxuan told Chen Yuebin and the others that he wanted to collect various strange stones, they all thought he was joking. What value could stones have? There were plenty by their riverbank. It wasn't until Chen Haoxuan explained that they realized some stones could be worth more than gold.
Following Chen Haoxuan's orders, Chen Yuebin rode Chen Haoxuan's motorcycle to inform each household in the village. Now that Chen Haoxuan spoke, the villagers believed him because he had always paid cash on delivery without any delays. This alone earned him their trust. Soon, many villagers began searching for unique stones by the riverbank. Not long after news spread about Chen Haoxuan's interest in collecting unusual stones, a large number of villagers gathered by the riverbank, heads down as they searched for what they called "gold bricks."
Chen Haorong, wanting to prevent Chen Haoxuan from becoming wealthy, investigated him. Following him around led him to discover where Chen Haoxuan sold his mountain goods. He then decided to collect various mountain goods himself and sell them to Wang Long's seedling base. However, Wang Long showed no interest in him at all, which made him very angry.
