"Moreover, some of these things we have are obtained illegally, so we have to sell them secretly."

“Look at this jade, it was illegally mined.”

"This kind of thing doesn't exist on the market. One piece can sell for anywhere from 500,000 to 800,000 yuan."

"If this were during a boom period, and you dared to sell this, forget about 500,000, you'd be arrested right away."

Sheng Jinjin thought it made a lot of sense.

However, she was still a little worried about these illegally obtained jewelry pieces.

"How about we buy from official channels?"

Otherwise, if they get caught, wouldn't they go to jail?

The driver tried to brainwash her, saying, "If you bought it through legitimate channels, the wholesale price of this jade would be 500,000 yuan. It's hard to say whether you can even sell it for 500,000 yuan."

"Isn't this equivalent to buying it for 500,000 and selling it for 500,000? Wouldn't that mean you don't lose money?"

"But if we buy from those jade miners, they're afraid of getting caught, so they only sell for 200,000. But you can sell it for 500,000, making a profit of 300,000 right away. Do you think that's worth it?"

"And the people who buy it won't be stupid enough to say anything, otherwise they'd be guilty too."

"So you're asking which sourcing channel is better?"

This is leading Sheng Jinjin to illegal sourcing channels.

Sheng Jinjin, however, felt that he was right to do so.

Although doing this may be illegal, how else can I make money?

She wanted to prove to Boss Hua that she was a capable person.

Otherwise, Boss Hua wouldn't have entrusted her with managing the finances.

So this month, let's just say the sourcing channels are illegal.

Anyway, if the driver doesn't say anything and she doesn't say anything, no one will know.

Moreover, this corner is so remote that no one would know how to get in without someone showing them the way.

"Okay, then let's continue to buy goods there."

The driver saw that she was willing to do anything illegal for money, and realized she was definitely born to go to jail.

If a normal person heard that something was illegal, they would have stopped doing it long ago.

She, on the other hand, dared not say it, but kept contacting those 'merchants' who were the suppliers.

In just three days, she had already purchased a million yuan worth of goods.

Zhang Dahua panicked when she heard that the purchase of goods had cost one million yuan.

"Why did you spend so much? What if you can't earn it back?"

It is said that this money was borrowed through a contract.

Even though it's a loan from Boss Hua, if we lose money, Boss Hua will definitely be angry.

Sheng Jinjin, however, was going all in, saying, "This time I'm going to sell it for two million."

The amount Hua asked for was one million. She only needed to earn two million, and the remaining one million would be hers.

One million.

With this million, she would be a real rich woman.

Sheng Jinjin became increasingly excited and had already begun setting up the store.

She also knew to put up some fakes first to use as decoration.

If anyone comes to patrol, just show them the fakes.

Moreover, she wrote prices on those fakes, labeling them as "fake items for appreciation, fifty yuan each."

Only those who genuinely want to buy the goods can go into the secret room with her to see them.

The renovation and merchandise are all done now, all that's missing are customers.

Since Sheng Jinjin didn't have any customer acquisition channels, she asked her driver for help.

The driver negotiated, "If you want me to help you, you have to give me a tip, right?"

My year-end bonus was ruined by Sheng Jinjin this year, so I have to get some back from her.

Sheng Jinjin pouted and said coquettishly, "You already have someone else, and you still want a tip?"

The driver replied, "That's a different matter. If you ask someone to do something, you naturally need to pay a fee so I can smooth things over."

"Otherwise, who would be willing to give you access to the channel for free? You still have to spend money."

Sheng Jinjin thought it made a lot of sense.

"Okay, how much do you want?"

The driver held up his hand, "Five hundred thousand."

Sheng Jinjin's eyes widened, "Five hundred thousand!"

"What kind of unclogging fee is 500,000?"

Why don't you just rob it?

The driver looked down on her for being short-sighted, saying, "Don't you even think about it? What kind of people come here to buy such expensive items? Even 500,000 is still a small amount."

"Besides, it's illegal for people to buy these things. If you don't give them some money, who will believe you?"

"If you really don't want to pay for bribes, then find your own customers."

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

Sheng Jinjin thought he was right and quickly pulled him back.

He said with a forced smile, "Oh, I was just kidding. It's only 500,000. I'll give it to you."

Mr. Hua originally gave her a check, and she could fill in any amount she wanted.

Although she had to pay it back, she felt confident that she could earn back the more than one million yuan, so she added another 500,000 yuan.

Here, take it.

The driver took the money, and that's when things started to look interesting.

"Don't worry, I'll help you attract customers. Just wait for your first order after opening."

Sheng Jinjin smiled and kissed him, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Once we make money, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits."

The driver smirked and drove away.

The next day, Zhang Dahua came to check if there were any guests.

After waiting all day, not a single customer came.

She was a little worried, "Why isn't there a single customer?"

Sheng Jinjin was also very flustered.

But he could only pretend to be calm and said, "Let's wait a bit longer. After all, it has just opened and is not well-known, so naturally there are not many people coming."

Once the driver has spent the money, he'll probably bring his people over.

By evening, there were still no customers.

A guest did arrive the next day.

He was just an old man taking a walk. He looked at the fakes, didn't say he would buy them, just touched them and left.

Zhang Dahua originally thought he wanted to buy it, but she didn't expect him to be a poor old man.

He was so angry that he started cursing.

By the third day, there were still no customers.

And the driver didn't come back either.

Zhang Dahua panicked.

"Jinjin, did that driver run off with the money?"
