"Fourth brother, did you earn all of this?"

Zhou Ling was greatly surprised when she saw Zhou Chuan pour all the money he had earned from selling jewelry over the past few days onto the table.

Zhou Chuan said smugly, "Third sister, you didn't expect this, did you? Your little brother has a talent for doing business. This thing is too simple. I always said that doing business is not that difficult. It's just a matter of saying some nice things and inciting others to buy. I set up a stall for ten days and made back my investment on the sixth day. The rest is pure profit, all of which is here. It's about 430 yuan."

"You earned over four hundred in ten days, that's over four thousand a month, and over four hundred thousand a year. Fourth brother, does that mean you're going to be rich?"

Zhou Ling suddenly said excitedly.

More than 400,000?

So many?

Zhou Chuan was stunned. Wouldn't that mean he could become a millionaire in three years?

Zhou Chuan suddenly felt a surge of confidence; he was about to become a rich man. "Third sister, when I earn 400,000, I'll give you 100,000 and second sister 100,000 as a return on your investment in me."

If he can earn more than 400,000 yuan a year, he can start looking at cars and houses now. What kind of car can't he afford? He can buy an SUV, a better car than Zhou Chen's SUV. As for houses, he can go straight to look at villas and live in a big villa in the future.

“No, fourth brother, I think I miscalculated. It should be more than 40,000. But even so, it’s still a lot. In Fanjia County, many people can’t earn that much in ten days.”

Realizing she had miscalculated, Zhou Ling quickly tried to correct the error.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan felt a huge sense of loss, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell. It turned out to be only a little over 40,000. But he quickly accepted it because Zhou Ling was right. Compared to the wages in Fanjia County, what he earned was a high salary, and many people couldn't even earn as much as him.

"By the way, Third Sister, guess who I saw?"

Zhou Chuan suddenly changed the subject, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

Zhou Ling's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhou Chuan saw Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua? If so, her second sister, Zhou Na, would probably find out that the two were in Yanjing too.

"I saw him. He's in college now, living a much better life than the three of us siblings!"

Zhou Chuan narrowed his eyes, his tone filled with jealousy.

It was him!

Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that Zhou Chuan had met Zhou Chen. Huh?

suddenly,

Zhou Ling suddenly realized something and immediately asked, "Fourth brother, you didn't go to set up a stall at the gate of Yanda University, did you?"

Zhou Chuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Don't tell your second sister about this. She doesn't want us to provoke him. If she finds out you're doing business near the gate of Yanda University, she'll definitely be angry," Zhou Ling instructed.

Zhou Chuan nodded. "I understand. I won't tell Second Sister. Only you and I know that Zhou Chen is studying at Yanda University. I'm making money off his alumni. This is also a kind of revenge against him. Tomorrow I will raise the prices so that his alumni will have to spend more money. Since they are from the same school as Zhou Chen, they will have to spend more money unnecessarily."

"Fourth brother, that's a good idea. We'll promise second sister we won't mess with him, but we can trick his classmates and even his classmates."

Zhou Ling gave a thumbs up, expressing her strong agreement.

"But fourth brother, you've set the prices too high. What if no one buys them? Don't let them become unsellable. Just raise the price a little. We don't need to be so stingy with money."

"Third sister, don't worry about this. I'll handle it."

Zhou Chuan didn't take it seriously. He was the only jewelry seller at the entrance of Yanda University, the only one of his kind. If the girls didn't buy from him, whose jewelry would they buy from?

He still has that much confidence.

The next day,

Zhou Chuan continued to set up his stall at the entrance of Yenching University.

"Boss, why are these earrings more expensive than yesterday? They've gone up by two yuan! That's too expensive!"

"Yes, I remember it wasn't this price yesterday."

"Miss, the price I paid for the goods has gone up, but that has nothing to do with me. I can't afford to lose money, can I? I bought them yesterday, so I can only say that I made a profit."

When faced with a female classmate complaining about the high price, Zhou Chuan used the excuse he had prepared beforehand, directly blaming the original manufacturer to justify the price increase.

"Then I won't buy it."

"If it's two yuan cheaper, I might consider it. It's too expensive now."

Many of the female students who had gathered around gave up on buying the item and got up to leave. Zhou Chuan remained calm and unconcerned, inwardly mocking those who couldn't afford it as penniless.

His things will sell sooner or later.

If I don't buy it from him, is there anywhere else I can buy it?

Unless you go to the pedestrian street or the city center, the round-trip transportation cost would be enough to buy jewelry.

On the first day of the price increase, Zhou Chuan's jewelry sales dropped by half, but his profits were higher than before. The reason was simple: before, he would make a profit of one and a half times the cost of each item sold, but now he would make a profit of two to three times the cost. With reduced costs, profits naturally increased.

Zhou Chuan felt that raising prices was absolutely the right thing to do, but at the same time he regretted that he hadn't raised prices sooner; otherwise, he could have earned several hundred yuan more.

So Zhou Chuan continued to maintain the increased prices, not believing that the girls, after seeing his stall repeatedly, could resist buying anything.

But at noon that day,

Zhou Chuan discovered that his original stall location had been taken by someone else, and not only that, the other person was also selling jewelry.

What's even more outrageous is that the other party's price was much lower than his.

This is stealing his business!

This was intolerable. Zhou Chuan, his anger rising rapidly, immediately demanded that his colleague sell elsewhere, emphasizing that the current location belonged to him.

"Get out of here! Is this your home? Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is. Go cool off somewhere else and don't interfere with my business."

Li San knew that Zhou Chuan in front of him was the person Zhou Chen had designated to prevent him from making money in business, so naturally he wouldn't give Zhou Chuan a good look and his attitude was extremely bad.

"You fucking..."

Zhou Chuan was enraged. He was furious. They had taken over his business location and were so arrogant. He immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.

Li San chuckled, unconcerned. He simply winked at two of his henchmen not far away, and the two immediately ran over, standing menacingly in front of Zhou Chuan.

"Want to fight? Fine, we'll play along. Do you want to take on both of us one-on-one, or have the two of us gang up on you? The choice is yours."

Zhou Chuan: "..."

Adhering to the principle that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, Zhou Chuan held back. There were three people on the other side, while he was only one, so he couldn't gain any advantage.

He snorted.

Zhou Chuan turned and left without saying a word, went to an open space five meters away, set up his stall, and began to hawk his wares.

Because of Li San's competition, Zhou Chuan had to restore the previous price; otherwise, he might not have been able to sell a single piece of jewelry.

He believes his jewelry is competitive at the same price point.

But as soon as he finished calling out his price, his expression froze, because he heard Li San's price was lower than his.
