29: Brother Peng
Seeing Peng Ge’s expression and words, Chen Liangkun immediately sneered:
“Heh, you can leave. My Jinbao Mobile can’t accommodate a great master like you.”
“Hey, Kun Ge, don’t be like that.”
The anxious Peng Ge quickly tried to defend himself, but seeing Chen Liangkun’s cold gaze, Peng Ge knew Chen Liangkun had made up his mind, so he gritted his teeth and said:
“Kun Ge, what about the 10,000 yuan bonus you promised earlier?”
Hearing about the 10,000 yuan bonus, Chen Liangkun quickly thought of the money he had painstakingly earned only to have to pay it to the workers, and his shattered dream, then he sneered:
“Heh, you still dare to ask me for a bonus? Get lost!”
“You!”
Hearing that he had lost his job and even the 10,000 yuan bonus, Peng Ge was instantly enraged, then he stared at Chen Liangkun with a flushed face.
But Chen Liangkun was clearly not a timid person either; the two exchanged angry and cold stares. However, Peng Ge eventually lowered his head in resignation and turned to leave.
At this moment, his figure was hunched and powerless, filled with dejection and despair.
Chen Liangkun ignored Peng Ge, turned to glare fiercely at Lin Chen, who was helping sell phones, then turned and left.
However, Chen Liangkun did not notice a gaze from the side watching him with icy malice.
This icy gaze belonged to Ke Hanliang. At this moment, Ke Hanliang, seeing Chen Liangkun’s expression, knew that this matter couldn’t be resolved through official channels. To continue making money, he decided to leverage his connections and methods, which he had established in Pengcheng over many years, to send Chen Liangkun to prison for a few years.
Therefore, Chen Liangkun was completely unaware that he had stepped into danger. Although he had risen from a small-time enforcer to his current position with a powerful backer, he had now recruited too many workers, and his position was not stable.
At this point, if an outsider incited them, and a large number of workers reported him to the authorities for selling refurbished phones, he would be in deep trouble!
However, these matters were clearly unrelated to Lin Chen. Lin Chen once again fell into the busy state of counting money.
This time, selling 300 phones earned him a total of 45,000 yuan. The cost price of the phones was 700 yuan, and the selling price was 850 yuan.
So, for every phone sold, Lin Chen could earn 150 yuan. Since he was selling illegal and non-compliant knockoff phones, these knockoff phones naturally did not require tax payments; only worker wages needed to be paid.
Therefore, if worker wages and other expenses were not counted, he earned a total of 45,000 yuan this time. However, it was a pity that he had previously spent 30,000 yuan to bribe Saige Plaza.
So, this time he only actually earned 15,000 yuan. Adding this 15,000 yuan to the profits from the previous three phone sales—11 units, 43 units, and 60 units—Lin Chen’s current savings actually amounted to a mere 70,000 yuan.
As a reincarnator with a system, it was indeed a bit low to only earn 70,000 yuan in savings after nearly a month, but this first month was a foundational stage.
But these are only temporary. Next, as he acquires a shop, he will be able to achieve economies of scale and brand effect, allowing consumers to continuously and automatically come to buy phones.
Finally, adding the profits earned by Dawn Mobile Phone Factory, when the two are combined, earning over a million yuan a month will be very easy.
So, the next period will be when he reaps large-scale profits. Of course, these are all future matters. Currently, Lin Chen has two tasks.
The first is to find that 480-square-meter shop and see its condition, whether it can be quickly renovated to sell phones and other electronic products.
As for the second, it is to quickly complete the production and manufacturing of those two testing platforms to prepare for rapid expansion in the future.
So, Lin Chen’s tasks are not easy; instead, he will begin to immerse himself in busy work.
…
Time flowed on like this, and in a blink of an eye, the second day passed.
At a location Lin Chen was extremely familiar with, Peng Ge, after more than ten days, finally rode his pedal tricycle here again.
There was nothing he could do. After losing his high-paying position as Jinbao Mobile’s sales manager, Peng Ge could only continue his old trade of selling knockoff phones and refurbished phones.
At this moment, Peng Ge was incredibly grateful that he had been too busy with work and hadn’t had time to sell his old phones, choosing instead to keep them.
This way, even if he lost his job, he could continue selling phones. These phones were his last resort; if he lost them, he would truly be penniless.
“Selling phones! Selling phones!”
Peng Ge shouted from his pedal tricycle, looking as if he had emerged from yesterday’s low mood.
However, not long after Peng Ge started shouting, he felt that something was amiss around him, because two tall, burly men were slowly approaching him from the front.
These two guys inexplicably had a serious demeanor, even though they were wearing ordinary plain clothes.
But at this moment, they looked at him as if he were a criminal, making Peng Ge’s heart involuntarily tremble.
“Are you Peng Ge? Please come with us.”
A stern voice came from the opposite side.
Hearing the other party directly call out his name, Peng Ge’s expression instantly changed. Then, realizing something, he desperately grabbed a phone in front of him and bolted!
“Don’t run!”
“Stop!”
Two stern voices came from behind. As Peng Ge fled, he slightly twisted his neck and saw two dangling handcuffs.
Instantly, in a state of extreme terror, he ran even harder.
And Peng Ge was indeed worthy of having been rooted here for a long time; he was very familiar with the terrain. He weaved through the dense crowds and alleys, disappearing from the sight of the two pursuing plainclothes officers.
After a long while.
“Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!”
Peng Ge, who had successfully shaken off the two plainclothes officers, gasped heavily on the ground. At this moment, looking at the last phone he had managed to rescue, he felt so Depressed to the point of wanting to vomit blood that he wanted to vomit blood.
His pedal tricycle, his more than ten knockoff phones, were all left behind. Now he had only managed to rescue one, which truly made him feel like vomiting blood from frustration.
He knew without a doubt that his remaining phones would be confiscated, because selling knockoff and refurbished phones was illegal and non-compliant; once investigated, they would be directly confiscated!
So, there was no way to get them back!
Moreover, if he had run a little later, it wouldn’t just be a question of whether he could get them back, but he would also have all his illicit gains confiscated, and he might even have to spend several months or even a year and a half in the bureau!
“Who was it? Chen Liangkun? That guy named Lin?”
Peng Ge, so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood, uttered the names of his enemies with bloodshot eyes.
It was laughable to think that just yesterday he had sworn to work hard for Chen Liangkun and wholeheartedly sell phones for him.
But now, only a day later, Chen Liangkun had become his mortal enemy.
But no matter who it was, Peng Ge now realized he had no way to deal with either of them, and that guy named Lin was not someone he could provoke either. So, Peng Ge, with bloodshot eyes, was truly frustrated to the point of wanting to vomit blood.
