49: Brown Liuhe Pagoda acquired!
Chen Kai snatched the brown six harmonies tower from the Cashier's hand and held it up to the sunlight to examine it carefully.
He deliberately frowned, "Oh my, this... this... it's fine! Since you didn't even notice, if I take it to the ticket seller, he probably won't be able to tell it's fake either."
"I can't be bothered to make a trip to the Bank, and otherwise you'd have to pay twenty to the supermarket. You don't earn money easily, so Brother will handle it for you."
Chen Kai said generously, then casually tucked the brown six harmonies tower into his pocket.
Standing behind the glass Counter, the Cashier was visibly moved upon hearing Chen Kai's words.
He really is a good person!
"This... this isn't good, is it?"
The young Cashier stammered, having no intention of asking Chen Kai to return that "fake" twenty.
"What's not good about it? Your salary isn't high, is it? And you'd have to pay twenty out of it. It's fine, I'll take it; others won't be able to tell."
Seeing the Cashier's reaction, Chen Kai knew he had succeeded. He simply picked up the five twenty-yuan notes laid out on the Counter, grabbed the plastic bag containing the red bull, and prepared to walk out of the supermarket.
After just two steps, the Cashier called him back again.
Chen Kai's heart tightened again. He paused, turned around slowly and unhurriedly, "What is it?"
"Um... thank you, you are such a good person."
With a hint of gratitude in her eyes, the Cashier trotted over two steps and casually picked up one of the boxes of chewing gum displayed on the glass Counter.
She grabbed a blueberry-flavored Extra gum, leaned over to place it into the plastic bag Chen Kai was holding, and waved at him warmly.
Chen Kai gave a faint smile, turned, and walked toward his little electric donkey parked at the entrance, then rode off quickly toward Yunshang Pavilion.
In less than half an hour, Chen Kai parked his little electric donkey at the entrance of Yunshang Pavilion.
The Old Man who had sold him the Wong Fei-hung disc was waving enthusiastically at him from across the street, his mouth movements suggesting that he had received a new batch of good items.
Chen Kai simply pretended not to see him; the words of this old geezer could not be trusted.
He had originally thought that old men who sold antiques were usually old and sparing with their words.
He hadn't expected that it was just that they were old, and truth was scarce.
Being able to Score a Bargain there once based on information was good enough; going back again would really mean getting slaughtered like a fat fish.
Chen Kai continued to pretend he didn't see him, parked his Electric Scooter, and pushed open the door to Yunshang Pavilion.
As soon as he entered, he saw the Fatty, Zheng Liu Chang, sitting at the Counter, scrolling through a female streamer.
Hearing the door being pushed open, he jerked his head up. Seeing that it was Chen Kai who had entered, he quickly put on a fawning smile.
"Godfather~ You're here? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Do you want me to order you a bubble tea?"
Chen Kai's eyes immediately turned vigilant, "You brat, are you up to no good again? Confess!"
When a Brother starts calling you Godfather and wears such a shifty, fawning smile, it definitely means no good.
"Hehe... you saw right through me. It's nothing big... it's just about the livestreaming."
Zheng Liu Chang, shifty-eyed, edged closer to Chen Kai and proactively handed him a drink.
Chen Kai lifted his plastic bag to indicate he already had a drink, but unexpectedly, the shameless Zheng Liu Chang reached into the bag and sneakily took out a bottle of red bull.
"You damn... still mooching a drink."
"Speak, what's up with the livestreaming again?"
Zheng Liu Chang scratched his head sheepishly, "I earned 2,800 from the livestream yesterday. I can't spend it all, I really can't spend it all."
"As your Godson, I have to thank you even more."
"Alright, enough nonsense, get to the point."
The next second, Chen Kai was stunned, "How much? 2,800? Damn, you brat, you hit the jackpot."
"That's all thanks to the path Godfather pointed out. It's just... the livestreaming has hit a bit of a bottleneck these past two days. Usually, it's just appraisals, but these two days people keep asking me if I'm buying goods, so I was thinking of asking you?"
Chen Kai was stunned again, "Buy them, sure. But can't you just ask your Female Boss about this?"
"Sigh, don't mention it. My icy Female Boss is swamped with work lately, busy with some jade exhibition. She has no time for me. She's an ice beauty on a normal day, let alone when she's this busy."
Zheng Liu Chang shrugged, looking helpless. He pulled Chen Kai to sit on a chair, then went back behind the Counter to sit facing him.
"I think you should buy them. It's money left on the table if you don't, and it can also boost physical sales."
Chen Kai said seriously, pulling the "fake twenty," the brown six harmonies tower, out of his pocket and slapping it onto the tray.
"Yo, so new? 99% new, that's a rarity!"
Zheng Liu Chang was stunned for a moment when he saw this brown six harmonies tower; it was so new that it made people think it was fake.
But the ballpoint pen scratch on the top right corner of the banknote couldn't be faked. This was natural aging; that ballpoint pen was from decades ago.
He picked up the brown six harmonies tower and carefully examined it in his hand, confirming all the details; there were no issues.
"It's old, old without a doubt. Awesome, your luck with Score a Bargain lately is pretty good."
Zheng Liu Chang exclaimed, then carefully took a magnifying glass to look at it again.
"There aren't many of these brown six harmonies towers left in existence. Since it's this new, I'll take it for 16,000. How about it?"
Chen Kai nodded, picked up his bag, and turned to leave, "Just transfer it via WeChat later."
"Done. Not staying for lunch?"
"No, when you become a big streamer, you'll have to treat Brother to a big meal and let me slaughter you."
Chen Kai joked, turned, and walked out of the store, receiving the transfer from Zheng Liu Chang.
He opened WeChat, and just as he was about to accept the money, he noticed there were other messages besides Zheng Liu Chang's.
He accepted the money first, and the balance in Green Bubbles had already reached 51,000.
"Sweet!"
He looked at the balance for a moment, then returned to the chat page and opened Tang Yunshu's message.
[Tang Yunshu: Good news! Huge rise! It's already 410 per share! I think we can sell!]
[Because Pop Mart released a new labubu, it caused investors to enter the market again, and the price is rising with the tide! But I analyze this as a short-lived prosperity; it will still fall back to its original state.]
[If you want to play it safe, selling now is the best choice. We earn 200 per share, and we bought over 1,200 shares, earning 240,000!]
Chen Kai smiled; the system's prediction was correct as expected. He thought for a moment and decided to go to the Financial Company tomorrow to watch her sell it on the spot and then have the money transferred to his card.
"Don't sell yet, I'll go over tomorrow."
[Okay, then I'll wait for you at the company tomorrow.]
Chen Kai nodded, replied with an emoji, and rode his little electric donkey home.
Roughly estimating, today is Monday. After selling the Stocks tomorrow, he would be able to net a profit of 290,000.
He still had to pay the financial investment consultant one point of the principal, 2,600, plus 0.5% of the 290,000 net profit, 1,450, totaling 4,050 to her. The remaining 285,000 was net profit.
