Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 742

In this way, a simple yet cozy temporary stall was successfully completed.

He Yuzhu slowly moved a small stool over, sat down steadily behind it, and watched with great interest as the two sisters in front of him busily sold goods on either side of the tricycle.

Nowadays, people are no longer surprised by the sale of radios, so the number of people coming to watch and buy them has decreased significantly compared to the beginning, and business can only be described as lukewarm and barely breaking even.

Time passed quietly, and before long, Brother Liu, with a conspicuous scar on his face, was seen patrolling the bustling night market with his two henchmen, just like always.

The three of them were walking at a leisurely pace when Scarface Liu suddenly glanced to the side and his gaze fell on He Yuzhu, who was sitting behind him.

In an instant, his previously serious face broke into a ecstatic smile, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

Immediately afterward, he strode quickly to He Yuzhu, beaming with smiles, and said, "Oh, Mr. He, you're finally back!"

He Yuzhu raised his head slightly, nodded lightly to Scarface Liu in response, and then asked in a calm tone:

"What's up?"

Upon hearing this, Scarface Liu chuckled twice, then scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered his courage and said:

"Hey, Mr. He, there is indeed something I'd like to ask you about."

Seeing that He Yuzhu did not show any impatience, Scarface Liu continued:

"I was just wondering... do you have any plans to wholesale your radios?"

Ever since he witnessed the radios selling like hotcakes at the night market, Scarface Liu had been itching to get one.

He thought to himself, since these two sisters can sell radios so well in this night market, wouldn't it be just as profitable if he got some radios and sold them in other night markets?

With that thought in mind, he couldn't wait to run over and ask He Yuzhu about it.

With that in mind, he immediately began to inquire everywhere.

However, to his surprise, despite the countless shops selling radios, he couldn't find the model that He Yuzhu was selling.

Moreover, the radios displayed in those electronics stores were ridiculously expensive, even the wholesale prices were astonishing.

Faced with this situation, he couldn't help but hesitate deeply. After all, if he chose to buy these models of radios to resell, the final selling price wouldn't differ much from the price listed in the store.

As a result, profit margins will be significantly compressed.

So he went back to find the two sisters to get more information. Only then did he learn that He Yuzhu had already gone to sea.

Since he couldn't get any more information about the radio from He Yuzhu for the time being, he had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

After careful consideration, he decided to go to the electronics store and, gritting his teeth, buy several cash registers wholesale.

Then, he took the goods and traveled to other places to set up a stall and sell them. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and his business was always lukewarm, with very little profit.

Just when he was feeling extremely troubled by this, he unexpectedly saw He Yuzhu returning today!

He was overjoyed and stepped forward without hesitation, eagerly asking He Yuzhu about the radio.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his abrupt actions might displease He Yuzhu, and he felt a sudden panic.

So he quickly put on a smiling face and explained:

"You can rest assured, after I buy radios from you, I will only sell them elsewhere. I will absolutely not compete with you for business at this night market!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu looked the man named Scarface Liu up and down with a slightly surprised expression.

This man had a fierce-looking face and a menacing appearance. At first glance, he seemed like the kind of person who was unreasonable and domineering. Unexpectedly, he actually had quite a business mind.

Previously, there was no intention to make this radio a big business, as the plan was to wait until the vacuum tubes were produced before assembling them and gradually releasing them to the market.

However, they have to play their part completely right now, since they're counting on the two sisters to sell radios, and they don't know when they'll be able to sell the 1000 radios in the living room.

He said, "I work on ships, and I have some radios at home. If you want them, I can sell them to you wholesale for 50 yuan each."

Since the two sisters can sell them, others can certainly sell them too. The wholesale price will be 50 yuan per unit. As long as you buy a lot, you can get the wholesale price.

Scarface Liu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. He. I'll get a hundred units today."

"Today?"

"It's not too late yet, I'll take the goods to the other two night markets to sell."

Others might have concerns, but for Scarface Liu, who was involved in gangs, getting some goods to sell in other people's territories was no problem at all.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, go back and prepare the money, then come to this place."

Chapter 522 Shop

Without hesitation, He Yuzhu gave them his accommodation address in detail, then turned to Scarface Liu and said:

"Alright, there's nothing else to take care of here. You should go back and prepare the cash."

Without hesitation after receiving the instructions, Scarface Liu turned and left immediately.

After Scarface Liu's figure completely disappeared from sight, He Yuzhu walked up to Ruan Mi, who was standing to the side, and said softly:

"Since everything's alright here, I'll head back now." Hearing this, Ruan Mi nodded slightly in response.

"Well, that's fine then. Thank you so much this time, but I don't think I'll need to trouble you to come and help look after the place anymore."

As she spoke, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

After saying goodbye to Ruan Mi, He Yuzhu walked briskly towards his residence.

When he arrived downstairs, he saw from afar that Scarface Liu was already waiting there, pushing a tricycle loaded with goods, followed by several burly men.

Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly stepped forward and waved to them, indicating that they should follow him upstairs.

The group filed in and soon arrived at the door of He Yuzhu's room on the third floor. He Yuzhu took out his key, opened the door, and stepped aside to let everyone in.

Scarface Liu carefully placed the black bag full of cash on the table, and then said slowly, "Brother Zhu, this is fifty thousand yuan. Please take a look and count it."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, then began to carefully count the amount. After a thorough check, confirming that the amount was accurate, he nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu directed Scarface Liu and others to move the agreed-upon one hundred radios downstairs, load them onto a truck, and drive them away.

After Scarface Liu and his group left with the radio, the room fell silent instantly.

After resting for a while and adjusting his state, He Yuzhu closed his eyes, concentrated, and once again used his unique skill—creating items out of thin air.

Before long, 20,000 brand-new tube radios and a large number of related equipment appeared before our eyes. Just then, the familiar sound of a tricycle coming from downstairs suddenly came.

He Yuzhu, who had initially thought the two sisters who had gone out to run errands were returning, walked quickly to the window and peered out with great joy.

However, to his surprise, the person he saw was none other than Scarface Liu, whom he had just parted ways with not long ago.

"Why are you here again?" Scarface Liu stood downstairs looking impatient, tilting his head back and shouting at the top of his lungs.

At that moment, he was frowning as he looked at Mr. He, whose figure was visible through the window upstairs.

A few minutes later, Scarface Liu strode into the house with light steps, his face beaming with undisguised joy, and excitedly said:

"Wow, this business is so easy! The moment those 100 radios were put up, they were snapped up like crazy!"

Scarface Liu was extremely excited tonight.

On weekdays, although he was in charge of collecting protection money from the night market, in reality, most of the money he collected had to be handed over to his boss and the gang he belonged to.

And what actually ends up in his hands is a paltry 20%. Not only that, but even the expenses of his men have to be deducted from this meager 20%.

So, his monthly expenses for food, drink, and entertainment amount to only a few hundred yuan, barely enough to support his family. Compared to ordinary people who make a living by selling their labor, his life is only slightly better.

However, just today, by selling those 100 radios and making a profit of 10 yuan on each one, the total is a full 1000 yuan!

More importantly, this money doesn't need to be handed over to the higher-ups or the boss. He only needs to share a small portion with his men as a reward, and the vast majority of the profits can easily fall into his own pocket!

Thinking of this, Scarface Liu couldn't help but grin, his eyes gleaming with greed and satisfaction.

The money I earned in one day was more than I had earned in the entire previous month!

Although he was well aware that the subsequent profits might gradually decrease, the most important thing right now was to seize this opportunity and earn as much cash as possible.

So, after selling out, he quickly packed up his stall without hesitation and rushed to the source to bring back another batch of brand-new radios.

In this way, there will be enough goods available for sale tomorrow.

Overjoyed, he couldn't contain his happiness and immediately sought out He Yuzhu to share his joy.

He Yuzhu carefully counted the 6 yuan, and then readily let the other party take away a total of 120 radios.

In just one short night, sales reached an astonishing 11 in cash!

After deducting a mere few thousand yuan in costs, he easily made a net profit of over ten thousand yuan.

After Scarface Liu left satisfied, the two sisters also finished their busy day, packed up their stall, and went home.

Ruan Mi didn't even have time to rest before she quickly started making sweet and delicious dessert.

Immediately afterwards, she warmly invited He Yuzhu to come and enjoy this delicious late-night snack.

Several people sat around the table, leisurely enjoying the warm, sweet dessert. Suddenly, Ruan Mi asked:

"Brother He, I just saw Scarface Liu pull over a cart full of radios. Did you sell those radios to him?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded slightly in response:

"Well, that's right."

However, he did this intentionally, not recounting the whole story. In fact, he wanted to observe how the two girls would react.

Ruan Tao stared at He Yuzhu with a face full of suspicion, and asked incredulously:
