After leaving the second-hand shop, Li Dong had a semi-new Nokia in his hands.
He had spent 450 RMB on it. No one would pick it up even if it was thrown on the ground ten years later. Yet, it was still so expensive.
It was already 11: 30 pm. Li Dong hurriedly boarded the bus home.
…
At 3 pm, Li Dong arrived at Dongping Bus Station.
After buying a SIM card at the bus station, Li Dong took out Old Wang's business card and called him.
"Hello, Uncle Wang?"
"…"
"I'm Little Li. I talked to you this morning …"
"Yes, yes. Didn't I tell you that I wanted some lobsters in the morning? I want them the day after tomorrow. Ten thousand pounds. All with red shells. Do you think you can make it cheaper?"
"…"
"I'm just testing the waters. 2.5 RMB is too expensive. Moreover, ten thousand pounds is not a small amount."
"…"
"Alright, let's talk in person. Where are you now? I'll go over."
…
Dongping Big Market.
Old Wang was busy ordering people to unload the goods. When he saw Li Dong, he wiped his hands and handed him a cigarette.
After taking the cigarette, Li Dong smiled. "Uncle Wang, you're quite busy."
"Of course. Do you think it's enough to ship the goods at night? You have to run all over the place. Otherwise, how can you get the goods?" Old Wang took a deep puff of his cigarette and took a deep breath. He called for Li Dong to find a clean place to sit down.
"Kid, do you really want so much?"
Old Wang was a little doubtful. After thinking for a while, he said, "Ten thousand pounds is not a small amount. If you really lose money, I will be too embarrassed to meet Old Li in the future."
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang. I've been busy all day trying to find a way. I've negotiated with a few restaurants and food stalls in the county. Each of them will give me a few hundred pounds. Even if I lose money, it won't be much."
Naturally, Old Wang could not tell the truth to Old Wang and Li Dong. If he said that the restaurants in the county were good, Old Wang would not be tempted even if he knew that Li Dong was making money. Firstly, he had no connections. Secondly, he was afraid of trouble.
As expected, Old Wang gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Good kid, you're capable! If my son was as capable as you, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams! "
He wasn't lying. He really admired Li Dong for being able to buy several restaurants in one day. Ordinary people didn't have this ability.
"Hehe, then Uncle Wang, you have to give me a discount. I'm still young, so it's not easy for me to earn some money. Uncle Wang, you have to take care of me. "Li Dong smiled and tried to get close to Wang Chong. He said a bunch of nice words. After all, it didn't cost him anything to talk.
Old Wang's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. It wasn't because of Li Dong's attempt to get close to him, but because this business was not small.
Ten thousand catties of lobsters. Even if it was expensive, it wouldn't be more than one and a half dollars. Disregarding other expenses, the profit of ten thousand catties of lobsters would be five or six thousand dollars.
Although his business wasn't small, it wasn't common for him to earn five or six thousand yuan at a time. Otherwise, he would have made a fortune long ago.
"Just because you call me uncle, I, Old Wang, will not cheat you! Two dollars per catty, and the dead lobsters will be on me. I'll go and contact the goods now. I'll be able to get them for you in less than a day! "
Li Dong didn't bargain anymore. Two dollars per catty and five dollars from the bearded man. This was more than double the profit. What else was there to be dissatisfied with?
"Alright, but Uncle Wang, I have to tell you first. The payment can only be settled after three days …"
"Alright, no problem!"
Old Wang agreed so quickly that Li Dong didn't even have to use the excuses that he had prepared earlier.
He was a little depressed, but he knew why Old Wang wasn't worried. In any case, Old Wang knew his father and knew where his family's business was.
The cost of ten thousand catties of lobsters was only slightly more than ten thousand dollars. Even if Li Dong lost money and had no money to pay, he could still look for Li Chengyuan. The Li family could still afford ten thousand dollars.
He didn't stand on ceremony with Old Wang and agreed to pick up the goods at five in the morning the day after tomorrow. The two of them chatted for a while before Li Dong bade farewell to Old Wang and went to another place after a few turns.
Pingchuan had to deliver ten thousand catties of lobsters every day. It wasn't enough to just look for Old Wang. If they delivered too many lobsters, Old Wang would also be suspicious. Dongping couldn't afford to eat so many lobsters.
…
The second wholesaler was very happy to have such a big business with the same excuse and price as Old Wang.
However, the other party was a little hesitant when it came to paying in three days. Li Dong also knew that not everyone was like Old Wang, so he paid a deposit of one thousand dollars on the spot. Only then did the other party feel relieved.
Li Dong was prepared to talk to the next one. Three was just right. One person for a day. Although ten thousand catties in three days seemed a little too much, the other party shouldn't be suspicious.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. He had to wait and see how the first transaction went.
After leaving Dongping Grand Market, Li Dong went straight home. He had talked and smoked too much that day, so his voice was a little hoarse. In addition, he was exhausted from the car ride back and forth.
There was no time to tidy up. Li Dong took off his shoes and lay on the bed. He fell asleep immediately.
…
He had a good sleep. When Li Dong woke up, he saw that it was already nine o 'clock.
Cao Fang, who was tidying up the living room, saw her son come out. She quickly said, "Come and eat. It was just reheated! You didn't rest during the holidays and insisted on going with your dad to stock up. You must be tired. "
"Mom, I'm not tired. Don't tidy up the house. I'll do it after I eat. Go and sleep."
Cao Fang was full of smiles. Her son had become more sensible these few days. She was overjoyed.
However, she still said, "There's no need for you. Your mission is to study hard and get into a good university. When the time comes, I'll be willing to die …"
"What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean by dying? Don't say that again! "
Li Dong looked unhappy. He decided to take his parents to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to rest assured.
"Okay, okay, okay. I won't say it anymore. My son has grown up and knows how to care for me. Hehehe …" Cao Fang looked very happy. Her face was almost blooming with a smile.
Cao Fang ate with Li Dong. Without letting his mother clean up, Li Dong washed the dishes and cleaned up the living room before going back to his room to continue reading.
He would be very busy in the future. He had to go to the provincial capital for the first few days. He would have even less time to study.
Because he had slept in the afternoon, Li Dong studied until his father woke up. Only then did he turn off the lights and go to sleep.
In the living room, Li Chengyuan saw that the lights were off and let out a sigh of relief.
He felt sorry for his son, but he remembered that the college entrance examination was coming soon. He thought that he should buy some good things for his son to nourish his body.
…
Chen Zhao slept late at night and arrived at school late the next day.
The morning self-study session had already ended. Wang Jie was chatting with Chen Yue. Seeing Li Dong come, Wang Jie winked.
Li Dong was confused. He sat down and said, "Why are you winking? I haven't asked you when you hooked up with Chen … "
Before he could finish, Wang Jie covered his mouth. Chen Yue, who had been chatting happily, also rolled her eyes and turned around, ignoring Wang Jie.
Wang Jie looked annoyed. He lowered his voice and said fiercely, "It took me a lot of effort to comfort her. You're too hateful!"
"Hehe, what's wrong? Do you really want to have a sunset romance? "
It was almost the college entrance examination. Many high school romances would separate after the college entrance examination. Li Dong was not optimistic about Wang Jie.
Although Chen Yue was not a top beauty, she could be a goddess in the eyes of ordinary people after she went to college. Wang Jie would not have a chance then.
Hearing this, Wang Jie was not surprised. He said proudly, "It doesn't matter. I've agreed with Chen Yue to go to a university in Beijing together. We'll be in the same city. It won't be too far. "
"Oh! You really hooked up with her? We've already discussed it. You're good! "
Li Dong was really surprised. Something was not right. In his previous life, Chen Yue had gone to Beijing to study, but Wang Jie had clearly gone to Shanghai. How did he go to Beijing?
Wang Jie ignored Li Dong and said happily, "Don't be envious. I think you have a chance too. You didn't come this morning, but Yuan Xue looked back a few times. I know she's looking for you."
"Get lost!"
Li Dong rolled his eyes. This guy was really gossipy.
As for what Yuan Xue was thinking, he was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, the college entrance examination would be in less than two months.
He remembered that if Yuan Xue got into Renmin University, he would definitely stay in Jiangbei. He was familiar with Pingchuan. By then, they would be thousands of miles apart. All his thoughts would be a dream.
Thinking of this, Li Dong felt sad. Qin Yuhan was going to Beijing Normal University, which was thousands of miles away from him.
It seemed that his unbloomed love would come to an end. But Yuan Xue and Qin Yuhan were very close to each other. If they had nothing to do, they could drop by each other's house. But he believed that they would not drop by each other's house.
As he was thinking about this, Yuan Xue suddenly turned around and said, "Li Dong, which university are you going to apply to?"
Li Dong's cheeks twitched. He ignored Wang Jie's winking and said plainly, "It depends on the situation. If I do well, I will apply to Jiangbei University. If I don't, I will apply to Jiangbei Agricultural University."
In his previous life, he went to Jiangbei Agricultural University. It was a second-tier school. His major was average. After graduation, he didn't find a job. Instead, he worked in sales for 7-8 years.
As for Jiangbei University, it was a 211 school. Originally, Li Dong didn't dare to think about it. But last night, when he was looking at the revision materials, he found two questions that were similar to the college entrance exam questions.
Li Dong also didn't expect that his memory had become so strong. He could remember so many questions from the college entrance exam more than 10 years ago.
But since he was reborn, it wasn't strange for him to get some benefits.
Finding similar questions, Li Dong was naturally greedy. He didn't care if the school was good or bad. But if he could really get into a good school, his parents would also be proud.
Another advantage was that Jiangbei University was also in Pingchuan. It was only a road away from Agricultural University. He was also familiar with it. In his previous life, he had gone there many times to look at beauties.
Hearing Li Dong's answer, Yuan Xue was disappointed. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Why didn't you think of going to Beijing? The job prospects there are better than Jiangbei."
"Beijing is too far away. It's not convenient. Pingchuan is good. It's close to home. I can also go back to see my parents. "
Yuan Xue didn't say anything. She turned around and lowered her head to read.
Wang Jie didn't understand Li Dong. He whispered, "Dongzi, going to Beijing is also good. We can also take care of each other. Besides, I saw that Yuan Xue seems to be … … Didn't you hear the meaning of her words? "
"Is there any difference whether I understand or not? Beijing is not suitable for me. Even if I go there, it won't be now. "Li Dong lowered his head to read. He didn't care about Wang Jie's thoughtful look.
As for Yuan Xue, it was just a young girl's thoughts. After a period of time, she will understand that he wasn't her type.
As for Qin Yuhan, Li Dong didn't want to think about her. He couldn't just not let her go to Beijing. Their relationship hadn't reached that step yet.
In his previous life, they couldn't be together. In this life, they couldn't be together either.
Li Dong originally didn't believe in fate. But now he knew that there were some things that he had to believe in.
