It was clear that Bai Jiaojiao was genuinely happy; her eyes were sparkling. After the kiss, she pulled out a pack of sanitary napkins and examined them.

"Do you know how to use it? Do you want me to teach you?" Shen Heng leaned closer. He was shameless enough to ask the saleswoman how to use this thing, and almost got mistaken for a pervert.

Bai Jiaojiao said coquettishly, "I know how to use it. Humph, you didn't expect that, did you?"

"You know how to use it?"

"Of course I know how to use it. If I didn't know how, could you help me find this?"

"this......"

Shen Heng was so angry at missing his chance to act like a hooligan that he almost ground his back teeth to powder.

Bai Jiaojiao laughed uncontrollably, but didn't forget to ask him, "How much money did you make this time? Show it to me quickly."

“Ha,” Shen Heng said, putting his hands on his hips, “guess.”

Bai Jiaojiao thought for a moment: "You took more than three thousand out, so I guess you brought back five thousand? Where is it? Take it out and let me count it!"

"You guessed way wrong. Wang Fushun and I got a few TVs over there. You know these things are in high demand, so we bought them at double the price. We didn't need any coupons. There are still a lot of rich people in Yancheng, and everyone is scrambling to buy them. I also kept one for our family, and it's already at our house. We can watch it as soon as you get back!"

Shen Heng looked smug, and Bai Jiaojiao's grin stretched to her ears: "Where's the money?"

"Do you think I can just take all that money back like that? I've already wired your brother's and sister's money over, 880 each, principal and interest. We don't have time for that now, so let them collect it when they have time. Our own money is still there. I won't tell you how much it is, you can count it yourself when you get back."

Shen Heng kept Bai Jiaojiao in suspense, and she only heard the words "doubling".

After deducting the money her brother and sister borrowed from outside, and the money Shen Heng borrowed from outside, there would be four thousand left!

He became rich in the blink of an eye. In later generations, people were obsessed with the idea of ​​having ten thousand yuan. It was only by looking at Shen Heng that he made his fortune with just a few transactions.

That's why information asymmetry is so valuable. In the next ten years or so, the bold will thrive and the timid will starve. If you're so bold, you'll be bursting at the seams.

"What about your friend's money? We're leaving tomorrow."

"I asked Wang Fushun to help me deliver it to the town. I will return the money I borrowed from Brother Duan before I board the train tomorrow."

Of the more than 700 yuan that Shen Heng dealt with, 400 of them were given by Duan Qiming.

"Wang Fushun must have made quite a bit of money too."

"This kid saved up more than a thousand yuan, and after doubling his money, the man was stunned and couldn't believe it. He slapped himself twice on the spot."

Wang Fushun neither spends money nor gets married; he works hard from dawn till dusk to earn money. Shen Heng never expected him to be so good at saving.

When Wang Fushun's embarrassing reaction was mentioned, Shen Heng just laughed, and he didn't seem to be very smart either.

"How did you manage to transport so many televisions? Did you just carry them onto the train?"

"That won't do. Do you really think we're hard-working oxen? I have my own ways. If you want to know, we'll see how you do tonight."

One of Shen Heng's greatest joys in life was teasing Bai Jiaojiao. After being bitten twice by Bai Jiaojiao, he still honestly confessed, "That's also a port. We'll find a ship there, unload the cargo, and then take a car to Yancheng."

"A boat? They'll transport it for you?"

“Those TVs of ours don’t take up much space. They’re on a cargo ship; we can put them anywhere, anywhere.”

"Those are all government-owned ships, how could they possibly be willing to take such a huge risk?"

"This is the solution I came up with. I found a ship that delivers goods. They collect payment for the goods, and I told them I had a way to get and sell the goods. They use the payment to buy TVs here, then sell them there, keeping the profit for themselves, and paying the original amount for the goods. I help them sell the goods, but on the condition that they help me transport them. It's a business with no investment; they'd be a fool not to do it."

A win-win situation is always the most stable form of cooperation; money should be earned through smart means like Chen Heng's.

Bai Jiaojiao's eyes shone with undisguised admiration, which made Shen Heng's heart swell with pride, as if his chest was filled with air: "Isn't Brother Heng amazing?"

"Amazing! Amazing!" Bai Jiaojiao couldn't wait to go back and count her money.

Shen Heng brought back some new things in his bag. He gave each of Bai Shiqing's two children a set of clothes made of materials that they couldn't buy here. He also bought a printed plastic pencil case for each of Bai Shihai's two nephews and nieces. They had never even seen such a thing before. The gifts weren't expensive, but they were very thoughtful.

Before leaving, Bai Jiaojiao left Bai Shihai fifty yuan, saying it was for her father. Bai Shihai naturally refused it, but after Bai Jiaojiao left, Deng Min found the money under her pillow and was at a loss for what to do.

After another day's train journey, she finally arrived in Yancheng. After a bumpy ride home, even the television in the living room couldn't attract her attention.

However, even if she wanted to watch it now, she couldn't; Shen Heng still needed to find someone to connect the call.

Shen Heng was packing his luggage in front of the kang (a heated brick bed), while Bai Jiaojiao lay on the kang and stretched out her hand to Shen Heng: "Take out the money and let me count it."

"You little money-grubber. I've put them all in that little box for you, take them yourself."

Bai Jiaojiao rolled over and landed on the kang (heated brick bed), then pulled out their family's precious little box from a pile of quilts.

Nearly four thousand yuan, mostly in ten-yuan notes with few small denominations, but the money popped out as soon as she opened the box. It must have taken Shen Heng quite a bit of effort to stuff the money in there.

"Brother Heng, so much money!" Bai Jiaojiao beamed, counting the bills one by one. She put a hundred bills together and counted three stacks in total.

The family had a total of one thousand yuan in principal. Shen Heng went out and turned it into three thousand two, plus the TV sitting in the living room.

"Heng-ge, you're really capable." Bai Jiaojiao praised sincerely, and Shen Heng almost forgot his own surname.

"Really? What area are you referring to that you're good at?" Shen Heng closed his suitcase, stood up, and leaned against Bai Jiaojiao, supporting himself with his hands on either side.

"He is capable in every aspect."

Shen Heng didn't even realize what was happening and thought he must be hallucinating.

Bai Jiaojiao put her arm around Shen Heng's neck and said, "At this rate, our factory will be up and running soon. I'm just waiting to become the boss's wife."

Shen Heng understood that a man still needed money: "Tomorrow I'll take you shopping, and we'll buy whatever you want."

“I’m not buying it,” Bai Jiaojiao said, tying the stacks of money together with yarn and putting them into a box. “Didn’t we just buy new clothes for the New Year? I’ll keep this money.”

Shen Heng said, "Isn't the reason I earn money so that you can spend it?"

"I said no, and that's final. Don't you know who's in charge of the accounts in our family?" Bai Jiaojiao said, feigning fierceness.

Shen Heng let out a long sigh: "Alright, alright, you take care of the accounts, and I'll take care of you..." With that, he climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), kicked his shoes in front of the kang, and bit Bai Jiaojiao's tender little neck.
