You should know that he bought it for 13 cents a pound.

The cost alone was nearly 700 yuan, plus 200 yuan for shipping, making it 900 yuan.

If Wang Qian only pays eight cents per pound, he can at most recoup his costs of four hundred and thirty yuan.

That means he will lose another 470.

It could be said that his attempt to buy potatoes backfired spectacularly.

Not only did they fail to steal Wang Qian's business, but they also lost everything and suffered a huge financial loss.

"You agree to sell, right?"

Wang Qian turned around and coldly warned, "My patience is limited. If you dare to play any more tricks, just wait for your potatoes to rot."

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Wang Dalin waved his hands repeatedly, "Since I promised you, how could I possibly go back on my word?"

He then gestured for Wang Qian to come, saying, "My potatoes are over there, come with me."

"Potato Street, right?" Wang Qian asked.

"right!"

Wang Dalin nodded. "The potatoes are piled up by the roadside. I just paid someone to watch them. All you need to do is find a scale, weigh them, and pay me, then you can take them away."

"You come to us, and you find someone to do the work of lifting the potatoes onto the scale. I'll just stand by and do the accounting."

"This... will work too!"

Despite being filled with resentment, Wang Dalin suppressed his urge to explode and agreed in order to salvage as much of the loss as possible.

After all, we've already compromised, so spending a little more money to find a larger scale and some people to lift it up won't cost much.

Soon after, the two arrived at Potato Street.

Sure enough, there were piles of potatoes as high as small hills by the roadside.

Wang Qian estimated that it must weigh at least 5,000 jin (2,500 kg).

In order to get rid of this hot potato, Wang Dalin didn't delay. He immediately went to the vicinity to find a large scale and two other people.

Soon, bags of potatoes were weighed, and the final total weight was 5,384 jin (approximately 2,592 catties).

At eight cents per pound, that's four hundred and thirty yuan and seventy-two cents.

"Here's the money, count it yourself."

Wang Qian didn't hesitate and handed the money to Wang Dalin right there in front of him.

"good!"

Wang Dalin nodded, took the money, counted it, and after confirming it was correct, he nodded weakly, "These potatoes are yours!"

After saying that, he walked away dejectedly.

As for where he was going, Wang Qian didn't care at all.

He had the potatoes in his hands; he had achieved his goal.

All he needs to do now is go to Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd. and find Li Guangsheng, and ask him to bring over a truck from the company to pick up the potatoes.

Next, he spent five yuan to hire someone to watch the potatoes, and then went to Tianming Snack Company on his own.

But after walking for a while, he realized that someone seemed to be following him.

He glanced back, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

It's Wang Dalin again!

After taking the money and leaving, Wang Dalin didn't go far; he was actually following him secretly.

"Still not giving up?"

Wang Qian snorted coldly, not exposing the truth, but immediately changed his route.

Before long, he arrived at a brightly colored alley.

This is the famous Willow Flower Lane in Nanming County, where you can find half an hour of romance for just five yuan.

Taking advantage of Wang Dalin's inattention, he immediately darted into a nearby alley and quickly disappeared into the distance.

"Where is he? Where did he go?"

Wang Dalin, who was following far behind, realized in the blink of an eye that Wang Qian had disappeared, and hurriedly chased after him.

But when he arrived at the crossroads of the alley, Wang Qian was nowhere to be seen.

"That little rascal, has he already discovered that I'm following him?"

After looking around a few more times and still not seeing Wang Qian, he could only stomp his foot in frustration and prepare to turn around and leave.

"Hey bro, want to stay at a hotel?"

A woman's friendly voice came over, "My hotel is very warm, and it only costs five yuan a night."

"Don't stay!"

Wang Dalin almost shouted in response.

He was in a bad mood, so how could he be in the mood to stay in a hotel?

The woman wasn't angry. Instead, she swayed her slender waist as she walked over, smiling sweetly, and said, "Don't be so heartless, brother. If you're in a bad mood, I can find a girl to cheer you up."

girl?

To relieve boredom?

Wang Dalin was slightly taken aback at first, then a strange excitement rose on his face.

He was really frustrated after being tricked so badly by Wang Qian.

Having a girl to cheer him up would be a good choice.

So he readily agreed.

result,

He paid for the hotel and the girl's entertainment, but his frustration hadn't subsided when a uniformed man arrived and forcibly invited him for tea.

Considering that it was his first offense and that he sincerely repented, the uncle in uniform reluctantly gave him a chance to reform.

However, a fine of twenty yuan will be imposed.

In order to go home as soon as possible, he had to sign a document and pay a fine of twenty yuan before he was able to regain his freedom.

"Wang Qian, you've ruined me like this, I won't let you get away with this!"

Walking down the street, Wang Dalin was filled with endless resentment.

...

Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd.

Inside a spacious and bright office.

"Wang Qian? Why haven't you returned to the village yet?"

Upon seeing the person who had just arrived, Li Guangsheng, who had been engrossed in reading documents, was quite surprised.

"I still have over 5,000 jin of potatoes, do you still want them?"

Wang Qian got straight to the point.
