Returning to 1990: I Rely on Entrepreneurship to Get Rich

Renowned economist Ma Yunfei is reborn to the year 1990. To his surprise, he finds himself with a beautiful wife and an obedient daughter. He vows to become the world's richest man and create a...

Chapter 207 Shooting in the Dark

The old man thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea, Sasha, what do you think?"

“Dad, I think Brother Ma’s idea is feasible. It seems like we’re making a little less money from each customer, but we’re keeping them tied to our store. I think new stores wouldn’t dare to do this because they can’t afford it. The rent and renovation costs for new stores are a huge burden, unlike our store, which owns the property and has much lower costs, giving us a competitive advantage.”

Ma Yunfei clapped a few times and said approvingly, "Sasha is really smart; she has a business mind."

The old man said angrily, "You brat, you underestimate me. Do you think I'm old and senile?"

“Grandpa, you are a senior figure. You have eaten more salt in your life than I have eaten rice, and you have crossed more bridges than I have walked roads. How could I dare to look down on you?”

The old man was delighted and said, "Sasha, you should talk to this brat right away and figure out how to get these discount cards. Let's get right to it. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, we'll start implementing this discount program."

Ma Yunfei was very happy. He gave Li Sha's barbershop a brilliant idea, and to his surprise, the old man accepted it immediately. It's clear that the old man is a smart man.

Li Sha immediately discussed it with Ma Yunfei and quickly came up with a plan.

Li Sha ran to a store, bought some stiff white paper, cut it into small cards by hand, and then went to a carving shop to make a seal.

In the evening, they made the discount card and then posted an advertisement at the entrance of the barbershop.

The old man was discharged from the hospital the next day.

As soon as the promotional advertisements were posted, customers eagerly purchased the discount cards.

In those days, even spending just one less penny was a great temptation.

In 1990, eggs cost only one cent each, and many vegetables sold for only two or three cents, so money was still quite valuable.

That day, Ma Yunfei was busy until late at night before heading to Majiawan in the dark.

That night, the bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating the path.

Ma Yunfei hummed a little tune as he walked briskly.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the straw hat Ma Yunfei was wearing fell off his head.

Good heavens, someone actually shot him in the back! Ma Yunfei was terrified and immediately lay down on the ground, not daring to move.

After a while, when he heard no movement, Ma Yunfei raised his head slightly and glanced behind him. He noticed a dark figure walking towards him.

Ma Yunfei got goosebumps all over his body and thought: I'm doomed, I'm going to die tonight.

Unexpectedly, the assassin swaggered towards him. If he had walked right up to him and shot him in the head, his brains would have splattered everywhere, and he would have died instantly.

Who has such audacity to kill someone?

Ma Yunfei was trembling so badly, as if his soul had flown out of his body.

He wanted to run, but he knew very well that even with four legs, he couldn't outrun a bullet.

He tried to crawl into the grass to hide, but his body was as limp as cotton, and he had no strength at all.

The dark figure was approaching.

Under the bright moonlight, Ma Yunfei finally saw clearly that this person had hit the target with a single shot.

Ma Yunfei exclaimed in surprise, "Godfather, it's you! You scared me to death, I thought it was an assassin!"

Ma Yunfei tried to get up, but before he could even move, Yi Qiang pinned him down on the back with his foot.

"Godfather, what are you doing?"

Yiqiangzhun is Ma Yunfei's godfather. Given his relationship with Yeya, Yiqiangzhun wouldn't do anything to him.

However, Ma Yunfei found it strange that Yi Qiang was so accurate that he would shoot him in the back. Could it be that he had misjudged him?

"Godfather, I am Ma Yunfei."

"You little brat! I've been waiting for you!"

"Godfather, what's wrong with me?"

"You brat, you tricked my daughter into coming to Qinglong Town and she hasn't been home for over a month. Today, I'm here to settle the score with you."

Ma Yunfei understood the situation and quickly explained, "Godfather, please don't misunderstand. I left Yeya in Qinglong Town to save her the trouble of traveling back and forth, which is both dangerous and tiring. Yeya staying in Qinglong Town didn't stop you from selling animal hides. Besides, when it's not market day, Yeya can help out at my yam sales station and earn some extra money."

One shot was all it took to hit Ma Yunfei in the butt with the butt of his rifle.

"Oh dear! Godfather, did I say something wrong?"

Yi Qiangzhun asked, "You little rascal, you said that Ye Ya would get some extra money working for you, but today I asked Ye Ya and she didn't see a single penny."

"Godfather, don't worry. I'm on a monthly salary system, which means I pay you once a month. Yeya has only been helping out here for a month, so it's not time for her to get paid yet."

"Then let me ask you, how much money are you planning to give that wild girl?" Yi Qiang asked.

Ma Yunfei had already discussed it with Chen Yuyan and was prepared to give her a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan.

However, Ma Yunfei did not want to reveal this number publicly, nor did he want Yiqiangzhun to know the details.

Ma Yunfei wanted Ye Ya to deposit the money in the bank as her own private savings. In addition, Ma Yunfei was also worried that outsiders would find out that the sales station was very profitable.

Ma Yunfei lied and said, "Godfather, I'm going to give Ye Ya a hundred yuan."

One hundred dollars was a large sum of money in 1990.

One Shot Accurate asked in surprise, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again."

"Godfather, I will give Wild Girl one hundred yuan every month."

Yi Qiangzhun finally understood, but he was a little skeptical and asked, "You little rascal, did you make a fortune in the yam business?"

"Godfather, I didn't make a lot of money, just a little bit. I hope you can keep this a secret and never tell anyone. Qinglong Town is a poor town with few rich people. If people know that I can earn a hundred yuan a month by helping out here, they will be envious. I might even get robbed if I walk at night."

Yi Qiangzhun hit Ma Yunfei again with the butt of his rifle and asked, "You little rascal, did you bully my daughter?"

"Godfather, Yeya is my sister. How could I bully her? I am a human being, not a beast. I would never do anything beastly."

Yi Qiangzhun said fiercely, "You brat, unless you become my son-in-law, you are not allowed to lay a finger on my daughter. If I find out that you have bullied my daughter, I will blow your head off."

Ma Yunfei asked in horror, "Godfather, you just shot me and knocked my straw hat off. If the muzzle had been slightly lower, my head would have exploded."

"You little brat, my nickname is 'One Shot, One Accuracy.' I'll shoot you in the left eye, not your right. Just now, I aimed for your straw hat."

Ma Yunfei said in a panic, "Godfather, please don't play such dangerous games in the future. It's late at night, and if you're not careful, you could blow my head off. I... I don't want to die."
