Chapter 34 Integrity Falls to the Ground

Wu Peng invested most of his savings, plus the three thousand yuan he got from Yao Fanghua, who claimed it was an investment.

He also likes to go for big hands when he plays cards.

When Wu Peng counted out the money and paid, Yang Liu's legs went weak. He had never seen so much money before, and he never knew that Brother Peng would throw it all in. It was supposed to be two hundred, but how did it end up being a thousand?

Last time he came and resold a bag of clothes, making some pocket money, and he was incredibly proud of himself, bragging about it all the time. This time, he originally thought that Peng and he could resell two bags of clothes together and make a small fortune, but who would have thought Peng would be so extravagant? If they lose money, won't Peng hold a grudge and beat him up?

The return trip was much more tiring than the journey there. Wu Peng carried electronic watch parts on his back, while Yang Liu carried a large bag of clothes.

Yang Liu was alright; his clothes were heavy, but he wasn't afraid of falling or being crushed, so he just put them on the ground and could even sit on them to rest. Wu Peng, on the other hand, had it much worse. He didn't dare let the bag of parts on his back fall to the ground, and even on the train, he held it tightly, afraid it would get crushed or stepped on. He even slept with it in his arms at night, afraid to fall into a deep sleep.

After Wu Peng and his companion boarded the train, Da Beitou discovered that they were missing a package of defective parts, which contained defective components that needed to be returned.

The man with the slicked-back hair muttered to himself, "It's over, his integrity has been ruined."

Those two brothers don't look like wealthy people. If they find something is wrong, they won't be so upset about losing a few hundred dollars.

He hadn't had enough of eating, drinking, and having fun, and he didn't want to be responsible for someone's death. Cold sweat broke out on his slicked-back hair. No, no, it couldn't be that bad. He wouldn't be so stupid. At most, someone would come looking for him with a knife.

It's also their fault for not checking properly; luckily, only a small package was mixed up.

The man with the slicked-back hair placed the parts that should have belonged to Wu Peng in a small compartment in the warehouse, instructing his cousin to give them to them immediately if the two men were found. Then he went to look at the land.

After testing the waters for a while, he felt that doing business here was feasible. So he decided to stop on such a small-scale operation and instead invest in building a factory.

Wu Peng returned to Beijing in a hurry and immediately informed Yao Fanghua, after all, she was a major shareholder.

Then he stayed home, called Yang Liu to assemble it together, and Yao Weimin joined them at night.

Wu Peng finally found the bag of defective parts, and immediately started cursing, insulting the slick-haired man's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Fortunately, they managed to assemble nearly nine hundred watches, preventing a major financial blow. However, Wu Peng, who had originally planned to sell the digital watches for fifteen yuan each, decided to sell them for eighteen yuan each instead.

Although it was said to be 18 yuan, Wu Peng took a trip to Shenzhen, especially to the electronics building and clothing market, and learned some tricks of doing business.

The worst thing about doing business is comparison. Look at those merchants in the electronics building. They must have agreed to use the same price. If there had been a discount of a few cents, he might have actually bought it.

He was obsessed with making money, and being a quick-thinking person, he came up with a terrible idea to sell goods quickly.

He took a dozen or so watches to make a show, and Yao Weimin kept the rest.

Yao Weimin is a fair-skinned and handsome young man, looking like someone who is naive and innocent. If he dresses in a more innocent style, he is sure to win people's favor and gain their trust.

He was selling watches for 20, while Yao Weimin was selling them for 18. Yang Liu acted as a shill, occasionally going to Yao Weimin's shop to pick out a watch and buy it, just to create a lively atmosphere.

Wu Peng acted like a director, and even had Yao Weimin and Yang Liu rehearse at home.

On the weekend, the three of them set up a stall on the busiest street in front of the department store.

Yao Weimin was at least experienced, and although Wu Peng's actions made him a little hesitant, he still managed to hold on.

Yang Liu had been in the underworld for a long time, and his mouth was as eloquent as a monkey's. Luckily, he was buying goods this time. If he were selling, he might be able to charm young girls, but anyone with a serious mind would think he was a swindler.

Wu Peng had a suitcase slung around his neck, with a dozen or so watches on it. He charged everyone 20 yuan, no bargaining. His attitude wasn't great either, he was like, "Take it or leave it." If you tried to bargain with him too much, he'd chase you away. "These are novelties, you know? They're imported, imported. Look at the English letters on them. I'm selling them at a loss for 20 yuan. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Digital watches are indeed a novelty; the mere mention of being imported is enough to win people over. But this guy's attitude is terrible, and he's overpriced too.

Compared to the other two, this really highlighted Yao Xiaobailian, who was cheap and had a good attitude. Then there was Yang Liu, who picked out a watch and took out money to create a lively atmosphere, saying, "It's imported, an imported item. I heard that foreigners all wear these. It's only eighteen yuan. I've bought a really good thing."

Electronic watches are much cheaper than mechanical watches that cost tens or hundreds of dollars, especially since they are imported. These days, nothing is more tempting than the word "imported." Everyone thinks that anything foreign is a good thing.

Imported, cheap, and good quality. With this, you can tell the time with a simple gesture, no matter where you are. It's just as good as a mechanical watch and you can show it off just as much. It's imported, and foreigners wear it all, haha.

Yao Weimin was surrounded, enthusiastically encircled by the crowd of people who were pushing forward with money in hand.

As Yang Liu repeatedly said, "Don't push, don't push! I was here first! I want that one! Please save it for me!" the atmosphere became even more lively. More and more people gathered around to buy the watch.

Although Wu Peng's place was quiet, he still managed to sell a few items for 20 yuan each without haggling. Of course, some customers came to ask for a refund after realizing they had overpaid.

One old lady was particularly fierce, spitting in Wu Peng's face, "I thought you get what you pay for, but it turns out it's the same thing. You heartless bastard, others sell it for eighteen, but you dare to sell it for twenty. You lied to my daughter, give me my money back right now, or I'll smash your stall."

"Everyone, come and see for yourselves! The same thing is being sold for eighteen yuan by that young man over there, but this unscrupulous guy is selling it for twenty. Don't be fooled!"

Those who heard the commotion all crowded around Yao Weimin's side, and even those who hadn't originally planned to buy one now decided to do so.

The little girl behind the old woman tugged at her mother's clothes with a look of embarrassment and anger. What was she doing? It was so shameful.

Wu Peng let the old woman make a scene for a long time, and finally had no choice but to return two yuan. After being spat on by the old woman, the matter was finally settled.
