Chapter 30: Borrowing Strength to Strike Back (Vote Request)
Liu Yifei looked back at his parents and frowned, saying: "A few days ago, I heard our classmate say that his family invested a lot of counters in the newly built Xinxing Mall. His family has people working in the city, so they must have connections. This shows that Xinxing Mall is profitable, right? So I asked my dad and mom to invest more, but they were afraid to do so and only bought three. It's really frustrating."
"You said... your family invested in three counters?" Er Xiao's eyes lit up instantly, Xin Xing Department Store is currently under construction, and as a businessman, he would certainly know about it.
"Yes, what can three votes do? If it were me, I'd vote for him ten or eight times, even if I had to borrow money to do so." Liu Yifei waved his fist, and the mixture of youthful passion and naivety on his face was a perfect imitation.
"You're really charming, but what you said doesn't count now." Er Xiao laughed and said, then asked: "Did your classmate's family really invest?"
Liu Yifei curled his lip and said, "Of course I voted for him. That kid is now really awesome, just like he's a billionaire now. It's really unbearable to look at him."
"Hmph, then when you have money, you can just show off in front of him, right?" Er Xiao chuckled, but seemed to be thinking deeply.
"Right, second brother, can you help me persuade my dad and mom? It would be a pity if they give up such a good opportunity."
"Hmm... you little guy, making me say this, but doing business isn't like other things, that's investing real money, if it goes wrong, that's a total loss. I have a friend from out of town, he heard about some lucrative business and put all his family's assets into it, only to find out when he really got started that it wasn't as profitable as he thought, and he lost big time, what a disaster! It's also good for Uncle Zhang and Auntie Zhang to be cautious."
"Alas, I'm too old for this, that's why I only told you, Second Brother, because you're young and vigorous. Who knew you'd be so timid as well."
"Alas... who wouldn't be afraid? If I lose, these two years would have been in vain."
"Whatever, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. Such a good deal and no one is willing to do it, I'm really disappointed in all of you." Liu Yifei waved his hand and left, seemingly somewhat depressed.
At this time, Er Xiao narrowed his eyes and started calculating in his heart. The news of Xin Xing Shopping Mall's recruitment had already spread, but most people were taking a wait-and-see attitude, waiting to see the situation after the mall opened before deciding whether to move in. Liu Yifei's message undoubtedly made Er Xiao even more hesitant. If what Liu Yifei said was true, then investing early would definitely be better than investing late.
Gently tapping on the glass counter, two small continuous customers also ignored him, and then thought: If Liu Yifei's classmate just said it casually, children blowing each other up is also very normal, this matter should be handled carefully.
After the customer in front of Liu Yifei's parents' counter left, Er Xiao stood up and slowly walked to the counter, smiling and asking: "Uncle Zhang, Auntie Zhang, business is good today, right? You've sold several copies already."
"Hmm..." Zhao Qin chuckled and said: "Just now, selling a set of bed sheets still made some profit, the rest are all small things, not like Xiao Er you who is so good at talking, one set can make over a hundred." In the market, asking each other how business is going is also a very ordinary thing, of course, it's only said between people with good relationships. Those with bad relationships generally need to be on guard.
"My location is no good, customers who come to me are all leftovers from you guys. If I don't rip them off a bit more, I won't even be able to eat for a day."
After chatting for a few sentences, Er Xiao changed the subject to Xin Xing Shopping Mall. "Auntie Zhang, I heard that your family invested in three counters at Xin Xing?"
Zhao Qin suddenly looked at Liu Yifei, frowned slightly, then chuckled and said: "Yeah, I also cast my vote with a big heart, who knows if it's feasible there, really afraid that the money will be wasted."
"How come? I think Xinxing Mall is not bad, the location is better than ours, and the environment inside is also good. I was just thinking of investing too, and I was about to ask if you guys were going to invest or not. Just now, I heard Yifei say that your family invested in three booths, so I don't need to say more."
"Really?" Zhao Qin's eyes lit up instantly. Although she had mustered the courage to invest three times, exchanging 15,000 yuan for just a small piece of paper made her feel uncertain in her heart. Now that Er Xiao also wanted to invest, it was as if she had grasped a lifeline, and suddenly felt much more at ease.
"Yes, our relationship is good, that's why I wanted to tell you, it seems you're still ahead of me." Er Xiao chuckled with excitement in his heart. Zhang Da Cheng and Zhao Qin had always been timid, even if they were selling goods, they didn't dare to easily sell things they hadn't sold before to others' homes, fearing they would be stuck with them. Now, they dared to invest 15,000 yuan all at once, Liu Yi Fei's words were obviously quite persuasive.
"By the way, Uncle Zhang and Auntie Zhang, don't spread this around, okay? If too many people know, I'll have to go back and prepare the money. Don't wait until I've gathered the money, or there won't be any booths left to sell."
"We won't, we won't, we won't talk nonsense."
After Er Xiao left, Zhao Qin immediately whispered to Zhang Da Cheng: "It seems that we are indeed a good match. That kid Er Xiao is really clever. Every time he picks up goods, he can sell them at a high price. He wants to invest in this new Star Mall, it's definitely not wrong."
Zhang Dacheng also smiled and said, "I think so too. But I don't care about whether it's worth investing or not. At least that would be our own counter, even if we make less money than here, but at least we won't have to pay rent anymore. Otherwise, if we want to buy two counters here, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few more years."
"It's just that the counters here are much better than before, we must have made a mistake by investing there." Zhao Qin was also getting happier and happier as she spoke.
Watching his parents like this, Liu Yifei secretly smiled to himself. Now he had only added the first spark, and when the second spark ignited, he wouldn't worry that they wouldn't be eager to increase their investment. As long as they found the sweetness of making money, and relying on his own rebirth experience, letting them become rich would absolutely not be a big problem.
"Hmm... I've always heard that those rich second-generation kids are quite something, now it seems I can also indulge in being one of them." Liu Yifei suddenly had such an amusing thought.
A new week has begun, and tomorrow this week is eager to rush onto the new book list. It still needs everyone's recommendation votes. Also, everyone can post book reviews, and tomorrow will add precision, it seems there are also rewards to be shared, don't waste them, first come first served!
