He also knew why he was losing money; it was all Chen Haoxuan's fault. If Chen Haoxuan hadn't made a large number of purchases of mountain goods earlier, he would have taken all the good ones, leaving only the bad ones for him. How could he not lose money?
Now that he saw Chen Haoxuan offering high prices for stones, he initially didn't think much of it. However, the little girl from their village, Chen Xiumin, picked up a stone and sold it to Chen Haoxuan for an astonishing price of five thousand RMB. This made Chen Haorong start to doubt the mystery behind purchasing stones. He wondered why Chen Haoxuan would offer such high prices if there was no profit in it.
So, just like last time, he secretly investigated Chen Haoxuan. This time, he found nothing except that Chen Haoxuan basically never left home except for morning runs. Chen Haorong, being someone who had seen the world, set up a network line and began researching stone prices online.
He discovered that the stranger the stone, the higher the price it could fetch. Excited, he started looking for buyers online. He thought about finding buyers first before making purchases, just like last time. However, there were very few people who collected stones. After searching for a long time without success, Chen Haorong began leaving messages and advertisements everywhere in hopes of finding stone enthusiasts.
Two days later, Chen Haorong stopped collecting mountain goods. Even if he wanted to collect them—his partner, Boss, wouldn't want any because Boss was very disappointed with Chen Haorong. The goods he provided were always subpar; how could he make money with such poor quality items?
Chen Haorong began looking for other business opportunities. He refused to believe that he couldn't do better than Chen Haoxuan. He had been in business longer than Chen Haoxuan, and he considered himself smarter. There was no way his earnings should be less than those of Chen Haoxuan! He was determined that Chen Haoxuan would never surpass him. The small market that Chen Haorong operated had been running for several years; if he were truly as clever as he claimed, he wouldn't be stagnant.
While Chen Haoxuan appeared to be thriving in business, the actual number of stones available for purchase was very limited. His days were quite leisurely; he spent them drinking tea and chatting with Lin Hao and others while occasionally checking out the stones brought in by villagers. During this time, every weekend, Chen Yina returned home and felt particularly happy about Chen Haoxuan's progress. She felt proud of him.
Chen Haoxuan didn't only buy stones every day; he often chatted via video with the owner of the Villa Hotel. With the help of the Villa Hotel's owner, Chen Haoxuan met many wealthy individuals who enjoyed collecting stones. He frequently showcased some of his premium acquisitions to these affluent collectors. This wasn't a matter of vanity for Chen Haoxuan; it was business—albeit with a somewhat unconventional approach.
His strategy was to gradually pique the interest of these wealthy individuals without directly selling to them at first. He would wait until they expressed interest before pretending to be reluctant while negotiating prices. All the stones collected by Chen Haoxuan were top-tier items, so he wasn't worried about not being able to sell them since he now knew quite a few wealthy people who could buy from him.
Currently, Chen Haoxuan's reputation in Pingyuan County was soaring; nearly everyone there had heard of his name. His rapid business development was unmatched in the county. While others struggled for over a decade to achieve their current results, Chen Haoxuan managed to expand his business from a rural area to the county town—and even into the city—within just a few days.
On May 18th, Chen Haoxuan brought two bottles of liquor to the village chief's house in Chen Family Village. It was clear that his visit had something to do with business.
"Hey, Village Chief! Long time no see," said Chen Haoxuan, walking into the chief's yard and seeing him relaxing under a large tree in his yard.
"Ah, it's Xuan! You're quite a rare guest here. What brings you to me?" The village chief squinted at Chen Haoxuan, actually eyeing the two bottles of white wine in his hand. He was a lover of good liquor, and when he saw alcohol, he was always ready to chat.
Chen Haoxuan placed the two bottles on a stone table in the yard, then squatted down next to the village chief, pulled out a cigar he always carried, handed one to the village chief, and lit one for himself. After taking a puff, Chen Haoxuan finally spoke, "Chief, I want to discuss something with you."
"You are now a celebrity in Chen Family Village. Just say what you need; there's no need for pleasantries! Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, you've thought of another money-making venture, right?" the village chief said.
"Hehe... Looks like the chief knows me well! That's right—I have thought of a new business. I want to lease the three large fish ponds in our village. What do you think?" Chen Haoxuan said.
"Of course! No one wants to take care of those fish ponds because they're too big and require too much investment. Only someone like you, a big spender, would dare to lease all three at once," the village chief laughed. Chen Haoxuan leasing the fish ponds was good news for him; it would bring some extra income to the village.
"So what's the leasing price?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
"For all three large fish ponds, it's five thousand yuan a year. How does that sound?" the village chief replied.
"OK, let's settle on that—five thousand yuan a year for three fish ponds. I'll lease them for five years! Chief, since you have nothing else to do right now, let's go draft a contract and sign it!" Chen Haoxuan said happily. He didn't think the leasing price was high at all; in fact, it seemed quite low to him. After all, things in the countryside were cheap and practical.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I promised you I wouldn't go back on my word. Later, come over to my house for dinner and have a few drinks with me; otherwise, I won't lease you the fish ponds," the village chief said seriously to Chen Haoxuan. Everyone wants to get rich; the village chief was no exception—he also wanted to prosper alongside Chen Haoxuan.
With no choice but to comply, Chen Haoxuan stayed at the village chief's house and drank with him. By the afternoon, he successfully obtained the contract for leasing the three large fish ponds in Chen Family Village. Chen Haoxuan calculated that putting several tens of thousands of fish fry into those three large ponds would be no problem. Then he would hire several skilled fish farmers to help him manage them. A year later, barring any unforeseen circumstances, making several hundred thousand yuan should be easy.
The village chief would definitely inform the villagers of Chen Family Village about Chen Haoxuan leasing the fish ponds. When Chen Haorong heard that Chen Haoxuan had leased the three large fish ponds in Chen Family Village, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days.
Recommendation: This book is quite funny—"Through Time as a Rascally Housekeeper."
Introduction: Is it illegal to look at beautiful women on the street? I ended up getting hit by a flowerpot and crossing over!
And this Liu Lao Liu, is he really a deity? Come on, can he at least provide a group of beauties?
What? No? Then at least give me some silver to spend, right? Still nothing?
What the heck? Not only do I get no power, but I'm also sent to be a servant?
Fine, I've been hungry for two days, I'll endure it!
