Chapter 65: Profit of 1.87 million yuan!
When they returned to Jiang City, it was already 9:40 p.m. After getting off the car, Gu Yin and the others did not stop and took a taxi directly to the dance studio where the transaction had taken place.
As soon as we arrived at the cultural center, we saw Gu Qingming and the others carrying things at the intersection.
The group quickly stepped forward, borrowed the driver's phone to call Xiao Shiyi, and soon after, a group of people arrived.
Everyone worked together to move the things upstairs.
Having learned from the previous experience, everyone was much more orderly this time, and all the money they brought was in hundred-dollar bills.
"Why are the denominations so consistent this time?" Gu Shu asked, puzzled.
One of the women, whom they hadn't seen before, stepped forward and said with a smile, "I work at a bank and am also a parent. I noticed that the money you all brought was messy, so I told them to come to our bank to exchange it. This way it's more convenient for you. I was worried that you might think the money was counterfeit, so I borrowed a machine from the bank. You can just transfer the money through here. It's fast, safe, and saves a lot of time!"
Gu Yin was initially worried that they would be up until at least midnight, but she didn't expect that there were bank employees among the family members!
Gu Qingming immediately said gratefully, "Thank you so much! You've helped us a lot!"
The woman shook her head: "No need for thanks, let's hurry up and get the goods, or the gate will close!"
Seeing this, the crowd took their forms and lined up.
All Gu Shu could hear was the clattering sound of money being counted, which made his eyes red.
Gu Yin took out two mobile phones and waved to Xiao Shiyi.
Xiao Shiyi came over and took the phone: "I'll take it over and show it to them."
Gu Yin saw her go over and talk to a few people for a while, and then come over.
"Sigh, they said it's not a brand name product, so they feel there's no guarantee. Brand names offer warranties and replacements, but if there's a problem here, we have to send it back, which they find troublesome."
These off-brand phones really don't have these guarantees. She remembered that the one her uncle bought for her in her past life was the same; when it broke, she had to take it to a repair shop to fix it at her own expense.
Gu Yin took the phone: "Then there's nothing we can do."
Xiao Shiyi was a little unwilling, but she gritted her teeth and said, "You can keep one of these phones for me first. When school starts, I'll go to the school and ask around. I've found that many students around us like phones, but they're too expensive for them to afford. Let's make this one cheaper and see if that works. If not, consider this one as if you sold it to me!"
Gu Yin handed her a blue cell phone. Gu Yin had thought about selling it in town or at school, but everyone there was really poor. It was completely different from the city. In their area, radios and tape recorders were popular, and an MP3 player was the most common. Only wealthy students had a keypad phone, which was later called a "senior citizen's phone." These flip phones, which cost hundreds or thousands of yuan, couldn't be sold.
"This is for you. Promote it well. My bottom price is 700 per unit. As for how much you sell it for, that's up to you." She bought it for 500 per unit, making 200 per unit, which is acceptable. She had seen the same model in the store before, some for 1000, some for 1100, and some for 900, but those stores had shops and repair services, so Xiao Shiyi's purchase shouldn't exceed 900, otherwise they wouldn't have an advantage.
Xiao Shiyi grabbed her phone and nodded: "I will!"
After all the orders were processed, Gu Qingming looked at the group and asked worriedly, "How are you going to carry all this stuff back?"
"Mr. Gu, you don't need to worry about that. We all drove here ourselves!"
"That's right, I don't have a car, but I borrowed one from my colleague! Don't worry, the goods are practically right under our noses, how could we not get them back!?"
Hearing them say that, Gu Qingming felt relieved: "Alright, it's so late now, let's not chat any longer. We can have dinner together another time! Hurry up and take the goods back!"
After everyone left, Mr. Xiao hugged Gu Qingming tightly, excitedly saying, "We made 420,000 yuan on this trip! We split it in half with them, and I still made 210,000 yuan! I've never made so much money in my life! Brother! Thank you so much for leading us to make money! After the New Year, we'll have a house! I won't say much more about how grateful I am! There will be lots of gatherings during the New Year, and I'll definitely close a few big deals then!"
Gu Qingming was also overjoyed. After deducting costs, his family had made a total of 1.87 million yuan! He had never dared to dream of such a thing! Looking at the sack of money, his hands and feet trembled.
Mr. Xiao also had a concern: "Why don't we stay here for the night? We can deposit the money tomorrow morning?" He was afraid that if he took it out like this, it would be robbed.
Gu Qinglang shook his head: "There are no blankets here, and it's not good to catch a cold later. Besides, if someone comes to patrol and sees us, we'll be kicked out. Let's go to the hotel next to the police station; it's safe there." They stayed there last time; the hotel owner is a retired soldier, so it's safe.
When the group carried the sacks into the hotel, the owner was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't make a fuss. He had seen this group once before and could tell they weren't bad people.
How many rooms do you need?
"One room, double room! With a king-size bed," Gu Qinglang paid. The shopkeeper paused for a moment but didn't explain. They wouldn't be separated; two beds would be shared for the woman, and one for the three men. They would all be in one room, which would be safe.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yin got up to go to the bathroom. As soon as she turned on the light, she saw that everyone else in the room was staring at her.
Gu Yin: "...You guys aren't asleep?"
Seeing that everyone was in the same boat, Gu Qingming stopped lying down and sat up. He looked at the burlap sack between the two beds and said quietly, "How could I possibly sleep? I've been staring at the clock on the wall and counting the time."
Gu Shu also got up, looked at Gu Yin, and said resentfully, "You're the only one sleeping soundly in the whole house, you were almost snoring!"
"Oh dear," Gu Yin said awkwardly, scratching her head. "If I don't sleep last night, I can't stay awake now. Besides, with so many of us, no one will dare to come in."
Li Mengxin patted her: "It's okay, you can sleep at home tomorrow. Go to the bathroom."
When Gu Yin returned, everyone stopped lying down and started discussing how many houses to buy. Gu Yin was so sleepy that she drifted off to sleep again amidst their conversation.
Seeing her like this, the others shook their heads helplessly, wondering if she was just carefree or what, it was over a million!
Li Xiang laughed and whispered, "Ah Yin is definitely going to do something big. She's so calm. I don't think Ah Shu could even walk just now."
Gu Shu rolled her eyes: "She's not a normal person, I'm the one behaving normally, okay?"
Gu Shu was woken up again by them.
"Is it dawn?"
Li Mengxin nodded: "Yes, get up and wash up quickly, then we'll leave."
Gu Yin sat up: "Aren't you going to eat breakfast?"
Li Mengxin smiled helplessly: "You really have a big heart, how can you eat this?! Eat when you get home!"
Seeing that they all looked tense, Gu Yin didn't say anything more, and left together after washing up.
It was the same bank, the same reception room. After depositing their money and making a profit for the small business owner, everyone left amidst the bank manager's enthusiastic and repeated attempts to persuade them to stay.
Gu Qingming looked at everyone and said, "We won't take these bags of radios and tape recorders to the county. We'll go straight home and start setting up a stall on the street tomorrow!"
The business owners in the county have basically reached their supply saturation point, and they can sell these things slowly during the Spring Festival.
"Okay, let's go home then!"
So the group of people who had just left the bank went straight home.
