"Let me tell you, a gold prospector as good as you deserves such a good detector."
"Let me tell you the truth, I bought this detector for 3,500 yuan. I'm not making a single penny. How about I sell it to you?" Han Jianguo nudged Chen Feng with his shoulder and raised an eyebrow.
"Three thousand, not a penny more," Chen Feng said, glancing at it.
"Fengzi, I'd really lose money selling it for three thousand. Three thousand five is the lowest price I can offer, that's practically cost price. Go ask around the whole county, if anyone has my bottom price, I'll take it!"
Han Jianguo said with great confidence.
Chen Feng ignored him completely and turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey." Han Jianguo quickly grabbed Chen Feng upon seeing this, his expression somewhat hesitant.
Since he started selling detectors, he hasn't sold a single large one; the few large ones have been sitting in the warehouse for a long time.
After all, nobody's rich. As long as it works, that's enough. Who cares about how well it works or how big it is?
This can be considered a misjudgment by Han Jianguo.
If we were to pay Chen Feng a few hundred yuan today, it would be better than leaving it sitting there untouched.
To be honest, among the surrounding villages, apart from Chen Feng, no one else has the confidence to buy such a large detector.
"Oh, three thousand is still a bit expensive. Anyway, it's not worth it if it's useful. Let's forget about it." Seeing his hesitation, Chen Feng added fuel to the fire.
"Okay, okay, three thousand it is, but it has to be cash." Han Jianguo made one last attempt to persuade him.
“Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you directly via my phone,” Chen Feng said readily.
"Fengzi, it's settled then. From now on, you'll be the spokesperson for my store's detectors. If anyone wants to buy a detector, you'd better bring them here."
Han Jianguo added that he was genuinely pained by the loss of several hundred yuan.
But when he thought about Chen Feng's star effect, he accepted it.
It's called the "star effect," or at least that's what it says on the phone; he can't remember it.
"No problem, no problem at all. Just give me ten more glass bottles." Chen Feng opened the bag and looked at Han Jianguo with a smile.
"OK!"
We've already added all the extras, what's the difference between these ten glass bottles?
Chen Feng took ten more glass bottles from the counter and put them in his bag. Then he took out his phone and scanned three thousand yuan for Han Jianguo.
"I'll take the big one, goodbye." Chen Feng picked up the detector, waved, and was about to leave.
"Don't forget to promote it for me!" Han Jianguo shouted from behind Chen Feng.
"Okay," Chen Feng said without turning his head.
In fact, Han Jianguo thought that he had been using Chen Feng's name to his advantage, but Chen Feng was unaware of it.
In fact, Chen Feng already knew. Although he was a little annoyed, he was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, he did buy it from him. So what if it was a bit mysterious? It had nothing to do with him.
I didn't expect Han Jianguo to suddenly come up with some kind of spokesperson. I'm definitely going to make a good profit off him and get my interest back.
As for publicity…
I will promote it to Zheng Ping and Yin Xing properly, since I don't see any other gold prospectors besides them.
If Han Jianguo knew what Chen Feng was thinking, he would definitely say something.
"These two and a half people are using you for publicity. Do you think I don't know them or what? They bought their detectors from me before you bought yours!"
Liu Ping was taken aback when she saw Chen Feng carrying another detector after he returned home.
"Why did you buy another one? Was yours broken?"
"No, Han Jianguo is trying to make me his spokesperson. I'll just cut off one of his detectors; this big one only costs three thousand yuan," Chen Feng laughed.
Even if Han Jianguo hadn't pulled this stunt, he would have bought one eventually when he had more money in his pocket.
Otherwise, we'll be going to other provinces every time, and each trip will last a week. If the detector malfunctions, it will cause a lot of trouble if there's no backup.
“Spokesperson? What’s this spokesperson? You didn’t sign a contract, did you?” Liu Ping was a little worried, afraid that her son would be ripped off for trying to save money.
"No, what contract? He's not that cunning. Even if we did sign a contract, I wouldn't agree to it." Chen Feng placed the new detector against the wall.
"That's fine. I heard that some people were tricked into signing contracts and lost everything. We won't sign that stuff." Liu Ping still felt lingering fear when she mentioned it; just hearing about it made her scared.
"It's alright, I know all this," Chen Feng nodded.
Around 3 o'clock, Liu Ping got up to cook, worried that Huang Fei would wake up and call Chen Feng to leave early.
Finish your meal first, then wait; that way you'll feel more at ease.
With one meat dish and one vegetable dish, Chen Feng ate until he was quite full. He knew he wouldn't be able to eat such a meal again tomorrow.
Around four o'clock, Huang Fei finally couldn't stay in bed any longer. He sat up, washed his face thoroughly, and then went out of the house to eat.
He actually woke up around 2 a.m., but forced himself to sleep, since driving all night is no joke.
It was almost five o'clock when Huang Fei finally got into the car and went door-to-door to pick up people, ready to set off.
When they picked up Chen Feng, he was carrying a full bag and had two detectors with him in the car.
Liu Ping stood at the door watching him the whole time, occasionally giving him a few words of advice.
"Go back, Mom. I'll be back in a few days," Chen Feng said with a smile as he turned around.
"Okay, be careful when you get there." Liu Ping was a little worried. This was Chen Feng's first time leaving the province, and the place he was going to was still a desolate place.
Fortunately, there were others with Chen Feng, so everyone could look out for each other, which made Liu Ping feel a little more at ease.
Chen Feng said goodbye to his mother and got into the car. As soon as he got in, everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw Chen Feng carrying two detectors.
"Fengzi, are you really going to go all out with this, getting two detectors?" Zheng Ping chuckled.
"Absolutely, let's get to it." Chen Feng put his things down when he had a spare moment and sat down next to Zheng Ping.
Looking around, there wasn't much space inside the car; it was piled high with all sorts of things, making it look like a refugee fleeing a disaster.
"Set off!"
Upon picking up Chen Feng, Huang Fei shouted excitedly, and the car drove out of the village.
As everyone watched the village gradually disappear outside the window, they felt the same excitement and trepidation as Huang Fei.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited about my first time going out of the province to seek my fortune, but I was also genuinely nervous.
Nobody knows what the outcome will be this time, or whether it will be successful.
All I can do is pray silently that I will receive something.
Chen Feng also looked out the window and took a deep breath.
He had a premonition that this was the beginning of his rise to wealth.
Let's start making our first real fortune in Qiuling City!
As the car drove further and further away, and the sky grew dark, Huang Fei played music in the car, and everyone chatted casually.
But after the initial excitement of leaving the village wore off, everyone started to feel sleepy, yawning one after another.
After all, Huang Fei had slept all day, but they hadn't; they should have been asleep by this time.
One by one, they tilted their heads and fell asleep, snoring filling the car. Huang Fei glanced at the rearview mirror, squinted, and lit a cigarette.
"Damn it, look how energetic I am," Huang Fei chuckled softly.
He is now full of energy and not sleepy at all.
