Ma Yunfei frowned and said, "Third brother, then I'll compromise. You can help me with this once, it will take about three to five days, is that alright?"
The abbot patted his chest and agreed, "Helping you for a few days is no problem."
The next day, Ma Yunfei and the abbot escorted a truck loaded with 10,000 jin of yams to City A.
The car traveled for a day and arrived in City A in the evening.
The young widow's uncle was waiting in the market. He said excitedly, "Little Ma, I've been eagerly waiting for your truckload of yams."
"Uncle, is it still one yuan per pound?"
"Of course, weigh it right away."
After 10,000 jin of yams were unloaded from the truck, the young widow's uncle immediately took out 10,000 yuan from his suitcase.
"Xiao Ma, hurry back and try to buy another batch of yams as soon as possible. I need them urgently. Remember: the more the better."
Ma Yunfei didn't expect his first business deal to go so smoothly. He did a rough calculation and found that the transportation and storage fees were both zero, resulting in a net profit of six thousand yuan, which was an astronomical figure.
“Uncle, before I came, I heard that Sister Meng asked you to buy a batch of seasonings, so I brought them back to her.”
"Okay, the seasonings are right here."
My uncle carried out two large bags of seasonings.
Ma Yunfei quickly loaded the seasonings onto the truck.
He immediately took out five hundred yuan and handed it to the abbot.
The abbot was startled and stammered, "Boss, why are you giving me so much money?"
"Third brother, I want you to know that as long as you work with me, you'll be absolutely reliable. In addition to a monthly salary of one hundred yuan, I'll also give you bonuses."
What is a bonus?
"For example, if you follow me today and stand next to me, those bad guys will be scared and won't dare to steal my money. So, I have to reward you. That's called a bonus."
The abbot held five hundred-yuan bills in his hand, counting them over and over again, and asked excitedly, "Boss, are yams very profitable?"
Ma Yunfei naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and said evasively, "Third brother, I've calculated it, and we made a thousand yuan on this trip. Let's split it equally, five hundred each."
The abbot said gratefully, "Boss, you're really kind, so kind! I... I want to work for you."
Ma Yunfei handed the driver another hundred yuan and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work. After dinner, we have to rush back tonight."
The driver, a young man, said nonchalantly, "No problem. There aren't many cars on the road at night, so I can drive faster and get home before dawn."
Ma Yunfei rushed to the store and bought a dress and a scarf for Liu Fei, the town mayor's wife.
They returned to Qinglong Town before dawn.
The truck stopped in front of the Dongfeng Hotel.
The restaurant had just opened.
Ma Yunfei and the abbot each carried a bag of seasonings into the restaurant.
The young widow came up to him, asking in surprise, "Young man, why did you rush back overnight?"
"Hehe... Speed is of the essence in war."
"Little brother, wait here, I'll make you both a bowl of noodles and a few meat buns. You must be hungry after driving all night."
Ma Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Sister Meng, I have to hurry home. I'm so sleepy. The most important thing now is to sleep."
Ma Yunfei returned home excitedly. Chen Yuyan was still in bed. He knocked hard on the door and shouted, "Wife, I'm home!"
Chen Yuyan rubbed her eyes and opened the door, asking, "Why did you come back at this hour?"
Ma Yunfei threw a thick wad of banknotes onto the bed and said cheerfully, "Wife, this is the money I earned from my first business deal. Count it quickly."
Chen Yuyan stared wide-eyed at the thick stack of hundred-yuan bills, seemingly in disbelief, and asked, "Did you earn all of this?"
"Yes, this money all belongs to our family."
Chen Yuyan's hands trembled as she counted three times in a row. Then, she put her index finger in her mouth and bit it, muttering to herself, "I'm not dreaming, I'm not dreaming."
"Honey, you're definitely not dreaming."
"Yunfei, you made five thousand yuan on this trip? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Hehe... I should have earned six thousand yuan. I gave five hundred yuan to the third brother, one hundred yuan to the driver, and then bought a dress and a scarf for the mayor's wife. I kept two hundred yuan as my own money."
Chen Yuyan made the sign of the cross on her chest and murmured to herself, "God bless us, our family is going to get rich."
"Honey, this is my first business deal. I only bought 10,000 catties of yams. I didn't dare to buy more, fearing it would be a waste. Now that I've figured out the ins and outs of the yam business, I'll be buying in large quantities right away. Just wait and see how much money you make."
Ma Yunfei fell asleep immediately and slept until 2 p.m.
Chen Yuyan had already prepared lunch.
After finishing his meal, Ma Yunfei immediately went to the town mayor's house.
Liu Fei had just finished her afternoon nap and was still a little sleepy. When she saw Ma Yunfei arrive, she quickly asked, "Son, I heard you went to City A. Haven't you left yet?"
Ma Yunlong put a tote bag on the table and said, "Mom, as the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. I've already gone to City A and rushed back overnight. I made three hundred yuan on this deal. I bought you a dress and a scarf. Do you like them?"
"Wow! You made money! You made three hundred yuan in one go! My goodness, that's equivalent to three months' salary for the town mayor."
Luckily, Liu Fei didn't know the details. If she had known that she had earned six thousand yuan in one go, her eyes would have popped out of her head in shock.
Liu Fei unfolded the skirt and exclaimed, "Ah! This is the most fashionable style! I saw it on TV, and I was so drooling over it. It's a pity that they don't sell it in our town."
Liu Fei excitedly took the dress into the bedroom, and a little while later she came out wearing it and asked proudly, "Son, look at me, how do I look in this dress?"
"Mom, you look like an eighteen-year-old girl in this dress."
"Yes, when I looked in the mirror just now, I felt like I suddenly looked twenty years younger."
Liu Fei draped the scarf over her shoulders and praised, "Son, you have great taste! The things you bought are exactly what I wanted."
"Mom, as long as you're happy."
"Son, it must have cost a lot of money."
"Mom, this dress is a designer brand, and this scarf is imported. It cost over two hundred yuan. I was originally planning to buy my godfather some clothes, but I don't have enough money."
“Son, you worked so hard on a business trip and earned three hundred yuan, and you spent it all on me. You are such a filial son.”
"Mom, I need to buy my godfather a new outfit with the money I earn from the next business deal, otherwise, I'm afraid he'll be angry with me."
"Alright, don't buy anything for me next time. Your godfather is the town mayor after all. If you upset him, he might just say something that will make your business difficult."
"That's right."
