Chapter 147 - 141 Make big money
And so, He Xuewen made two more trips to Guangzhou and pulled in three train carloads of goods, which finally satisfied the demand of Hangzhou City. Although it was still slightly insufficient, He Xuewen did not plan to go again. Money is endless, but the attention at present is too intense. If it became too conspicuous, both he and Yang Wenbin would be in trouble.
Yang Wenbin did not object either. He was not the type to be engrossed in the pursuit of money to the point of obliviousness, which is probably why he got along well with He Xuewen. The two counted the money they had earned this time. They had been busy with purchasing wholesale in recent days and hadn’t had time to count the cash on hand. They were taken aback by the amount they tallied up.
The largest denomination of money was currently the ten yuan "big unity". Yang Wenbin had stuffed all the money received into a large woven bag. The two drew the hotel room’s curtains shut, dumped all the money from the bag onto the bed, and began counting sheet by sheet.
"Fifteen thousand and three hundred fifty yuan."
Both recounted and confirmed the figure, leaving them dumbfounded. Holding the money, they looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
Originally, He Xuewen had planned to procure the goods and sell them wholesale to Yang Wenbin, with He Xuewen simply earning a margin. However, with costs amounting to thirty or forty thousand yuan, and Yang Wenbin having just sent his money home, his finances were a bit tight. Hence, he discussed investing together with He Xuewen.
He Xuewen, of course, had no objections. Thus, they each contributed half, eighteen thousand yuan per person, totaling thirty-six thousand yuan. Now, with one hundred and fifty thousand yuan in hand, and after deducting the initial investment, it meant that each of them had earned fifty-seven thousand yuan.
"Xuewen, pinch me. Am I dreaming?" Although Yang Wenbin had been in business for over ten years, he always dealt on a small scale. A few thousand yuan in earnings was considered a significant deal for him. But this time, it was over a hundred thousand! It was his first time seeing so many "big unity" notes, and his voice trembled with excitement.
He Xuewen was excited too, but with the backing of the He Family Treasure Vault, his reaction was not as exaggerated as Yang Wenbin’s. He gave Yang Wenbin a disdainful glance and pinched him hard. Yang Wenbin jumped from the pain, glaring at He Xuewen, but then he immediately broke into a happy smile.
