180: Kid Brother has appeared!!
"That's three thousand in total, right? I'll transfer the money to you. Please pack up all the Outerman toys that are the same as the ones on shelf 102 for me."
Chen Kai said calmly and scanned the code to transfer the three thousand yuan.
[Ding! Payment received, three thousand yuan!]
The woman was initially in disbelief, but as soon as she heard that the three thousand yuan had been received, she excitedly headed to the warehouse to get the Ultraman toys.
Her face was beaming with excitement. Today's turnover alone could equal three or four days' worth of sales; surely the boss would give her a bonus.
"Alright, boss! I'll go to the warehouse and get the stock for you right now! I won't miss a single one!"
The woman immediately stood up and headed toward the warehouse, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
Soon, the woman pushed a cart out from the warehouse. After reaching shelf 102, she also added the six Outerman toys from the shelf into the cart.
"Alright, boss, where should I deliver these?"
"Just deliver them to my car."
Chen Kai smiled faintly, walked outside, and opened the trunk of his Mercedes-Benz, signaling for her to put the boxes of Ultraman directly into the trunk.
Upon seeing that it was a mercedes-benz car, the woman's eyes immediately lit up, filled with curiosity and admiration.
She carefully opened the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz, placed the boxes of Ultraman inside, and then gently closed it for him.
Only then did she wave at Chen Kai to bid him farewell.
Chen Kai smiled faintly, silently opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and slowly started the car.
Two minutes later, he stopped at the intersection on the only path leading to the toy store and took out the piece of cardboard he had prepared that morning.
He grabbed a stack of Ultraman toy boxes and arranged them on the side of the road, propping up the cardboard sign that read "Ten Yuan Each" in front of them.
Chen Kai also specifically stood up a few boxes of three different styles of Ultraman, aiming to make the kid unable to tear his eyes away once he saw them.
Everything was ready; all that was missing was the east wind!
He just had to squat there and wait for the kid to arrive. Since he had bought out everything from shelf 102, the kid would surely like these.
Besides, Ultraman toys were the cheapest things in the toy store; other than those, there wasn't much else the kid could afford.
Even a pack of collectible cards cost thirty yuan. Chen Kai couldn't quite grasp current prices; a pack of cards for thirty yuan? When he was a kid, he bought cards at the local shop for only fifty cents a pack.
Only the cheapest Outerman was ten yuan; everything else was at least twenty or thirty, or meant for girls, which a little boy certainly wouldn't like.
Chen Kai silently squatted there, watching for his target. He didn't even dare to use his phone for fear of accidentally missing the kid.
Less than half an hour later, a little boy came hopping along, humming a cheerful tune as he passed the intersection.
He spotted the Ultraman toys Chen Kai was selling at a glance! The little boy's face instantly lit up.
"Wow! Belial Ultraman!!!"
The kid immediately reached into his pocket and pulled out a ten-yuan bill, which seemed to be glowing faintly.
Chen Kai was instantly overjoyed, watching eagerly at the big black ten in the kid's hand.
The condition was truly excellent; no wonder it could sell for over two hundred thousand.
It looked like it had no signs of wear at all—it was almost like a brand-new banknote!!
"Hey kid, want one? It's buy-one-get-one-free right now. If you want them, you can have two for ten yuan!"
As soon as Chen Kai said this, the kid stopped dead in his tracks.
He was about to hand over the money but suddenly pulled his hand back.
"Uncle, I want to go check out the toy store up ahead first..."
Although the kid really wanted the Outerman, he didn't know if there might be even better Outerman toys waiting for him in the toy store.
"Uncle, you won't be packing up your stall, right? I'll be back soon... If I don't see any toys I like at the store, I'll definitely buy yours."
Chen Kai felt a pang of anxiety. This little brat actually knew how to shop around?
But he couldn't exactly force the kid to stay, could he? That would be forced buying and selling. If the kid chose to pay on his own, that would be a Score a Bargain.
If it were forced, the deal might not count as a genuine find.
He might even be held liable, so that definitely wouldn't do!
"Alright, fine. Just five minutes, though. I was actually about to pack up, so I can only wait for you for five minutes."
Upon hearing this, the little boy immediately jumped up in excitement. "Okay!! I'll be back soon!"
Then, he took off with a cheerful stride, running toward the toy store.
Chen Kai watched the kid run inside, his face full of helplessness.
Sigh... who would have thought? Even after getting his hands on the Ultraman toys, he still couldn't keep the kid at the first stop.
Fortunately, he had prepared a backup plan just now and bought out all the Ultraman toys.
Otherwise, this kid would definitely have gone into the store to buy something; even kids have their own shopping habits.
He might have convinced himself that buying from the store was safer, or perhaps since he'd already asked about the prices, he might have felt bad about just walking away.
Luckily, there was nothing in the store that could be bought for ten yuan.
Otherwise, this big black ten would truly be out of his reach.
However, he didn't dare jump to conclusions too early. Who knew if that salesperson might discount a 20-yuan item to 10 yuan just to make a sale?
Time ticked by, and Chen Kai felt his heart skip a beat.
Why hadn't this kid come out after browsing for so long???
He had been staring at the entrance of the toy store the entire time; he would have noticed immediately if anyone had come out.
It was clear that no one had come out. Could he really have spent the big black ten inside the store? If so, he would be kicking himself.
If the kid really had spent it in the store, he would have to figure out how to outsmart the clerk. He would have to try the same method he used at the supermarket to get the liuhe tower, to see if he could trade for the big black ten.
If he couldn't trade for it, he would just have to try and bluff his way into buying it at a low price.
Chen Kai let out a silent sigh, already bracing himself to outmaneuver the clerk.
Just then, the kid walked out of the store looking helpless and full of disappointment.
He walked toward Chen Kai with his head hung low, sighing. He stood in front of Chen Kai, stammering for a long time while fidgeting with his fingers, before muttering in a low voice:
"Uncle, could you lend me one hundred yuan?"
Chen Kai: ?!
"Are you crazy? Do I even know you? Why would I lend you money?"
The kid looked helpless, let out a long sigh, and gazed at him imploringly.
"Uncle, I like the Ultraman in their store that has lights and can talk, but it costs one hundred yuan... and I only have ten yuan..."
"My daily allowance is only two yuan. It would take me two months to save enough to buy it... So... so could I borrow the money from you to buy it first? And then pay you back two yuan every day?"
"Uncle, I really like that Ultraman..."
Chen Kai was so amused he almost laughed; he was momentarily at a loss for words.
