Wu Kai pulled out his newly bought iPhone 4, just about to report, but Lin Ziyi stopped him:
"What are you reporting?"
"Reporting Wang Yi, he's driving without a license!"
"Who said he's driving without a license? He passed Subject Three after only three days of practice, and got his license at the end of last month!"
Lin Ziyi shook her head, growing increasingly disdainful of Wu Kai.
He himself is a good-for-nothing, yet he reports others who are excellent!
What a guy!
"What? He passed Subject Three after three days of practice, and got his license?!"
Wu Kai felt as if a bucket of cold water had been splashed on him, completely deflated.
He had just started applying, and Wang Yi already had his license!
No comparison, no harm!
No wonder the goddesses he couldn't fawn over, were all fawning over Wang Yi!
"Wait, why am I boosting someone else's morale and diminishing my own prestige?"
Wu Kai shook his head vigorously, quickly cutting off that terrible thought, and caught up with Lin Ziyi:
"It's fine, Ziyi, I'll accompany you, we'll get our licenses together!"
Lin Ziyi, however, was furious, her face darkening:
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense! I passed Subject Three on the tenth and got my license, you haven't even studied Subject One yet! Who wants to get their license with you? Are you cursing me to fail?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant! I... I just wanted to practice driving with you!"
Wu Kai quickly explained.
But Lin Ziyi couldn't be bothered to deal with him, she just rolled her eyes, and walked over to the shade of a tree.
Leaving only Wu Kai standing in the scorching sun, as lonely as a dog.
Seeing this scene, Wu Qi shook his head:
"I told you, Wu Kai keeps fawning so much, and look, he's really made a fool of himself!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chu Chuanjun was about to laugh, when his expression suddenly changed drastically, he wanted to dodge but it was too late.
Sun Rui on the opposite side, who was still drinking soy milk, sprayed it out again!
"Sun Rui, you're asking for it!" Chu Chuanjun stood up, his hair bristling with rage, This guy definitely did it on purpose!
The milky white liquid flowed down his face, leaving much to the imagination.
"What if I told you it was a misunderstanding, would you believe me?"
Sun Rui held back his laughter.
He really wasn't to blame for this!
It was all Wu Qi's fault, his words were too funny!
"Wu Qi, damn it, what kind of nonsense are you talking!"
Wu Kai was beside himself with rage.
"Didn't say anything, I just said you're Lin Ziyi's simp!"
"Don't talk nonsense, there's no such thing."
Wu Kai quickly denied it, even a simp needs face.
"What's up then? Are you saying you don't like Lin Ziyi?" Wu Qi teased.
"I like her."
"Then why are you saying you're not Lin Ziyi's simp?"
"I..."
Wu Kai was speechless for a moment, his CPU felt like it was overheating, he couldn't think of how to refute!
"Idiot!"
Lin Ziyi snorted coldly, turned her head away, completely unwilling to deal with Wu Kai.
Compared to Wang Yi, this guy only had a slightly better family background, and was good for nothing else!
No, wait, Wang Yi just got his driver's license and is already driving a Benz, it seems his family background isn't bad either!
Could it be that Wang Yi's previous behavior was all due to being low-key?
In that case, Wang Yi's only weakness was scoring one subject less in the college entrance exam, only allowing him to get into a second-tier university!
He had no other weaknesses!
Moreover, this weakness could be resolved by retaking the exam, and he could definitely get into a top-tier university next year!
If she could go back in time, their ambiguous moments together, would also be wonderful...
Lin Ziyi's lips curved slightly upwards, forming a beautiful arc.
This made Wu Kai, who had chased after her, feel a stab in his heart.
He didn't know what Lin Ziyi was thinking, but it definitely had something to do with Wang Yi.
For a moment, Wu Kai felt like a clown!
Chu Chuanjun, whose anger had not yet subsided, also had a complex expression.
In Wu Kai, he saw a reflection of himself!
A moment later, Qian Xingguo arrived, and took Lin Ziyi and the others to practice Subject Three.
Leaving only Wu Kai standing there dumbfounded, he threw his Subject One textbook on the ground, filled with indignation:
"So even if I registered, I can't practice driving with Ziyi! Why did I even bother registering?"
...
Wang Yi drove the odd-sized shoes to Nanming Grand Market, Song Yang was already waiting there.
He took out the newly bought tent, and set it up with Song Yang, to provide sun protection.
As for the stall location, Wang Yi always chose to be near the township police station, or in front of a bank.
Such places with surveillance, could minimize petty theft!
Of course, the market's taxes, stall fees, and sanitation fees, were paid as usual.
The townships had policy support, so depending on the size of the stall, the flat rate was one to five yuan.
There was no other way; if they charged too much, the small vendors wouldn't come, and if the township residents had nowhere to shop, that would be even more troublesome.
After unloading, it was the same old loud hawking with a megaphone.
Soon, people attending the market gathered around one after another, finding the shoes to be of excellent quality and super cheap, and bought them eagerly.
Seeing that Song Yang had successfully gotten the hang of it, Wang Yi gave some instructions, left Song Yang to manage Nanming Grand Market alone, and drove back to the shoe factory.
He loaded another five hundred pairs of shoes, and went straight to Linde Town.
On July 2nd, Nanming Town and Linde Town, both had grand markets!
Replicating the previous model, he set up the tent, Wang Yi also opened for business in Linde Town, selling rapidly, his stall also in front of the police station.
As long as they were durable enough, and cheap enough, the common folk would flock to buy them!
By noon, Wang Yi's 500 pairs of odd-sized shoes were sold out, earning him another profit of fifteen thousand yuan.
Song Yang's side was also nearing its end.
With both sides progressing simultaneously, 1000 pairs of odd-sized shoes were sold in just one morning, with a net profit of up to thirty thousand yuan!
After a quick lunch, Wang Yi rushed back to the shoe factory, loaded another five hundred pairs of odd-sized shoes, delivered them to Song Yang, and retrieved the morning's proceeds.
Then he returned to the shoe factory again, loaded another truckload of odd-sized shoes, came to Linde Town Grand Market, and continued sales for the afternoon.
With both sides promoting simultaneously, efficiency doubled!
Around six in the afternoon, the 500 pairs of shoes were sold out, Wang Yi drove to Nanming Town.
Song Yang's stock was also sold out.
"Boss, here are the seventeen thousand five hundred yuan proceeds from the afternoon, please count them."
Wang Yi counted them, put them away, then pulled out 150 yuan, and handed it to Song Yang.
"Boss, that's too much, a hundred yuan a day is enough!"
Song Yang was a bit surprised.
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"The remaining fifty yuan is a performance bonus! From now on, if you sell out 1000 pairs every day, you'll get an extra half-day's wage as a bonus! If they don't sell out, then no bonus!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
Song Yang beamed with joy.
150 yuan a day, was almost equivalent to two days of brick-laying at a construction site!
"It's getting late, let's head back. Tomorrow at seven, we'll go to Yuanxiang Grand Market!"
"Alright, Boss!"
Watching Wang Yi leave, Song Yang also got on his small motorcycle, disappearing into the glow of the setting sun.
His face was beaming with a happy smile, as if there was hope for every day.
When he saw the migrant workers by the roadside, exhausted and grimacing, his smile became even more smug:
"Tomorrow I'm also going to sell out 1000 pairs, and earn 150 yuan!"
He only thought that because they were sold so cheaply, each pair of shoes wouldn't make much money!
Little did he know, Wang Yi earned sixty thousand yuan a day, 400 times more than him!
Information cocoons, are the best form of exploitation by the upper class over the lower class, and also the best form of protection!
The following two days, were no different.
Wang Yi and Song Yang each managed one grand market, advancing on two fronts.
Although it was a bit tough, they earned more.
In just four days, Wang Yi and Song Yang attended seven grand markets, sold 7000 pairs of odd-sized shoes, and earned over two hundred thousand yuan!
Seven grand markets, seven townships, nearly four hundred thousand people, as long as it was cheap enough, selling 7000 pairs of odd-sized shoes, was really no problem.
More importantly, they had made a name for themselves in all seven towns!
The common folk within a fifty-li radius, all knew a young man driving a Benz, who had been swindled by someone he lent money to, and had to go to the grand market every day to sell sneakers!
They were still export-quality, incredibly cheap, only 35 yuan a pair!
Even the three townships they hadn't visited, had legends about him.
So much so that on July 5th, as soon as Wang Yi arrived at Xiayao Town, people were waiting at the market entrance:
"Young man driving a Benz, you're the one selling sneakers, right? 35 yuan a pair?"
An old lady craned her neck, full of anticipation.
"Yes, Grandma. 35 yuan a pair!"
"Oh, you're finally here, we've been waiting for two days!"
Wang Yi couldn't help but laugh, his reputation had been established, now he wouldn't have to worry about selling!
On the other side, the Bailu Town Grand Market Song Yang was in charge of, was also the same.
Wang Yi and Song Yang were from Bailu Town, with home-field advantage, sales were even more booming!
Of course, there would also be acquaintances who weren't very close, playing the "emotional card", insisting on a five-yuan discount.
But Song Yang, following Wang Yi's instructions, with a simple "I'm just in charge of selling, what I say doesn't count", fended them off.
This was also why Wang Yi didn't manage Bailu Town himself.
Once he gave them a discount, the overall pricing would be disrupted, and it would be difficult to manage later!
Just going to grand markets every day to sell shoes, was quite tedious, luckily the earnings were high!
If someone could come to help, that would be even better.
Too bad Sun Rui and the others were all practicing Subject Three!
While Wang Yi was thinking, QQ rang.
It was Lin Shu who sent it.
Lin Ziyi's looks, were of the head-turning kind, could score 90 points, and she would easily be a department beauty in college.
As for Lin Shu's looks, they were even higher, easily 95 points, the type who could debut on the spot!
No wonder second-generation heirs like Chu Chuanjun, all became her simps.
As for her figure, when Lin Shu was practicing driving, she was wrapped up in sun protection clothing like a ghost, so he couldn't tell, but it probably wouldn't be bad.
She sent a picture of a Mercedes-Benz C200 Fashion Travel Edition.
[Lin Shu: Little brother, I picked up the car, your senior sister will take you for a drive!]
Wang Yi's eyes lit up, and he replied: [Alright, I'm at the west end of Xiayao Street.]
[Lin Shu: Oh my god, 33 kilometers!]
[Wang Yi: Come on, there's something fun!]
[Lin Shu: Really? I'm leaving now! Biu~]
"See? Isn't free labor coming right up?"
Wang Yi smiled faintly:
"Senior sister, you're still so naive, you don't know how deep the tricks are in the village!"
