Only after Yan Bugui left did Liu Haizhong finally ask the question.
"Da Mao, what were you thinking? Why did you bring Yan Bugui along?"
"Don't worry, Second Uncle, I'm not some pushover. I'll definitely give you an explanation. Sit down first!"
Seeing Xu Damao's confident demeanor, Liu Haizhong was skeptical and could only sit down first.
It turns out that Xu Damao was also driven by self-interest; the reason he brought Yan Bugui along was solely to take a cut.
Upon hearing that he would also receive a commission, Liu Haizhong stopped making a fuss.
He even considered whether he should develop two downlines...
A few days later, the second batch of goods arrived. Since Yan Bugui had just joined, he didn't dare to invest too much and only took out 3,000 yuan to test the waters.
In the end, all the televisions were sold. Xu Damao gave him 4,500 yuan, and the remaining 1,500 yuan was split equally between him and Liu Haizhong.
Inside the front yard, when Aunt Yan saw so much money, her mouth stretched into a wide grin.
"Honey, you're so smart. You made the connection with just one bottle of wine. But if I'd known it was this profitable, I should have invested more."
Looking at his wife's ignorant appearance, Yan Bugui couldn't help but snort coldly.
"What do you know, you're just a woman? You think you can make connections with just a bottle of wine? You're too naive!"
"Isn't that right?" Aunt Yan's mind was a little overwhelmed.
You know, she was the one who bought that bottle of wine. Could there be some unknown inside story behind this?
"It seems you're really not cut out for business. You'll probably be sold out and then still be counting the money for them."
Yan Bugui shook his head and continued, "I got ripped off this time. I lost at least 1,000 yuan. What kind of wine do you think is worth that much money?"
"What? We're losing so much money? No way! We're all from the same department. These two are really ripping us off! I'm going to confront them."
After saying that, Aunt Yan stood up angrily and prepared to leave.
"Come back."
Yan Bugui grabbed his wife and scolded her, "If you go and make a scene with them now, it will only make you look more incompetent. What, can't you take a cut in business? Do you have a contract?"
You have nothing, so what right do you have to argue with people? If everyone falls out, you'll gain nothing and just earn a reputation for being ungrateful.
"Then we'll just do nothing and watch them make money off our family."
Aunt Yan's heart was bleeding as she said this. She lost more than 1,000 yuan. How many years would she have to collect scraps to earn that much money?
"Don't worry! I have a plan. You just wait at home."
Although Yan Bugui was angry, he was not without options.
After saying that, he pushed the cart out the door...
A few days later, when the third transaction took place, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were dumbfounded.
Because that old bastard Yan Bugui actually contacted Li Huaide secretly without their knowledge, choosing to go it alone.
What's even more outrageous is that he brought several of his sons, as well as some neighbors from the courtyard.
Enraged, Xu Damao immediately launched into a tirade, "Yan Laokou, you're a real scoundrel! How can you do business like this? Don't you have any manners at all?"
Yan Bugui, however, was not angry at all after being scolded; he simply smiled faintly.
"Da Mao, you're talking to me about rules, but why don't you say you're all heartless? What, I sold it to you?"
"That's right, that's right. Some people have no conscience at all. Be careful, or you might have a son who's born without an anus."
Although Yan Jiecheng didn't get along with his father, they were still family, so he would definitely speak up for his father.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was ridiculed by Xu Damao.
"Yan Jiecheng, get out of my way! How dare you curse me? You should mind your own business! What right does a rooster that doesn't even roost have to laugh at me?"
“You…Xu Damao, you’ve gone too far! I’ll fight you to the death!”
Yan Jiecheng was about to make a move when Li Huaide saw this and thought, "This won't do. These are all our financial backers; we can't let them fight amongst themselves."
"Stop it, all of you. Do you even want to stay in this business?"
Seeing Li Huaide get angry, Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to act rashly and quickly explained.
"Mr. Li, you heard what I just said. It was Xu Damao who bullied others first. It has nothing to do with me."
"Alright, alright, doing business requires harmony to make money. You have money and we have goods, so why are you worried about not having business?"
Li Huaide first reassured everyone, and then continued speaking.
"Since everyone is here today, I have something to announce. We will be importing another batch of television sets this year. If you need them, you can contact Manager You to register."
Also, I'd like to let everyone know that after this batch of goods is shipped, I'll be going on a business trip to Hong Kong Island and may not be back for another six months. Therefore, next year's business may be delayed for a while.
"What?" Everyone's expression suddenly changed.
We've only been living a good life for a few days, and now you're telling me to postpone the business? What are we supposed to do?
Yan Bugui, in particular, felt cheated and asked a question.
"Mr. Li, after you go to Hong Kong Island, don't you still have Manager You? Why is the business being postponed?"
Upon hearing this, Li Huaide looked helpless.
"I'm sorry everyone, I'm going there to discuss color TV business. Manager You is very capable, and I will definitely help with the negotiations this time."
However, since you've all been long-time friends, I can't let you down. So I've decided that for this last order, as long as the money is in place, there's no upper limit.
Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, some people present were happy while others were worried.
The good news is that this time I can finally go all out and make a fortune.
The worry is that now that there's an opportunity to make money, I don't have much money in my pocket.
It must be said that Li Huaide's ability to control human nature is truly masterful.
Today, he first gave everyone a harsh lesson, then offered a sweet treat, and finally pressed them relentlessly.
They manipulated everyone with ease.
Even as everyone was leaving, Li Huaide didn't forget to give them a word of advice.
"Everyone, I know what you all think, but I still have to say that doing business is a long-term endeavor. I hope everyone will act within their means and not worry about short-term gains or losses."
Well! With just that simple sentence, everyone completely lost their last bit of vigilance.
After they returned, they began to use their unique abilities to overcome all obstacles.
Some people offered to lend money, others recruited members, and still others mortgaged their houses or motorcycles...
They've tried every possible method, all with the goal of getting the goods and seizing this great opportunity to make a fortune.
With such a commotion in the courtyard, Lin Wencui couldn't possibly be unaware of it, so she went to ask Liu Haizhong.
After hearing the whole story, she immediately felt that there was something wrong with it.
However, due to the limitations of the era, she couldn't explain it clearly.
"Second Uncle, I'm not too optimistic about this. Why don't you wait until Zheng Guo comes back and ask him before making a decision?"
"this…?"
Liu Haizhong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Director Lin, when will Director Sun return?"
Lin Wencui was stumped by Liu Haizhong's question.
Her son just took a bus to Shanghai yesterday afternoon and should still be on his way. She doesn't know the exact time. How can you expect her to answer that?
In the end, Lin Wencui's good intentions were in vain, because everyone couldn't wait and rushed to pay and place orders.
This time, however, Liu Haizhong did not follow up. His reason was ridiculous: he wanted to wait for Sun Zhengguo to return, ask him for clarification, and then make a decision.
Liu Haizhong was willing to wait, but Li Huaide dared not.
On the afternoon he received the money, he ran away with You Fengxia...
Also taken away were his nearly year's worth of swindled money, amounting to hundreds of thousands of yuan.
