6: Chapter 6 You've definitely been scammed.

Originally, there were quite a few onlookers around who were still watching and waiting.

They all felt that the price was a scam,

or perhaps they thought the phone was too trashy.

Not a single person dared to go inside and take a look,

fearing there might be some kind of trap involved.

So, when they saw the girl walk into this mobile phone store,

they were all quite excited.

The first person to eat the crab had arrived!

This little girl was probably going to be scammed miserably today.

Many people watched with great interest as the girl negotiated with the owner,

but when they saw her leave with the phone looking very satisfied,

and that she really had bought it for only 1,999,

none of them could stay calm anymore.

In this era,

university students were still highly regarded;

they weren't yet synonymous with stupidity.

Seeing that a university student was so satisfied with the phone,

everyone swarmed in,

wanting to see the device for themselves.

Bai Jingqing asked everyone to wait a moment,

then went to the back.

He brought out more xiaomi 4s from the system,

unsealed them, and placed them on the counter as display units,

letting everyone examine them freely.

Many people felt the smooth experience,

saw how thin and light the phone was,

felt how good it was to hold,

and saw how impressive the camera was,

so they immediately paid and bought one.

In just one morning,

Bai Jingqing sold nine xiaomi 4s.

After deducting the cost for each unit,

the final profit was 1,959 per phone.

For nine units, the total was 17,631.

Bai Jingqing was in high spirits.

With so much profit and profit points coming in after just half a day,

unlocking higher-end models later

and paying off the debt of tens of millions

was already just around the corner!

The morning's earnings were close to 20,000.

Even if he earned 30,000 a day,

it would only be tens of millions,

only... tens of millions...?

It seemed this debt wasn't going to be that easy to pay off...

However, once more models were unlocked later,

the daily earnings would definitely increase.

Today was a good start!

Seeing so many people swarming into Bai Jingqing's phone store,

Pang Xietang, across the way, was also watching with a grin.

"Sell!"

"Sell as much as you want!"

"I'm not jealous at all!"

"With these specs,

you're selling it for 1,999!"

"Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"The more you sell, the more you lose!"

"I want to see how long you can hold out!"

"When you eventually raise the price back up,

I'll use the Ideal Phones I got from Chairman Xue at internal prices"

"and use a lower price than yours"

"to suck away all the popularity you're attracting now!"

When the crowd thinned out a bit around noon,

Pang Xietang got up to stroll around,

specifically walking to the entrance of Bai Jingqing's store.

He said to him with a grin, "Oh, Little Bai,

business was quite good this morning!"

"I assume you made quite a lot of money?"

This was pure sarcasm.

Because in Pang Xietang's view,

with every transaction,

Bai Jingqing was losing several thousand yuan.

However, Bai Jingqing nodded seriously. "Indeed, I made quite a bit."

"If I keep earning like this,

I'll be able to pay off my debts very soon."

Although Pang Xietang kept a smile on his face,

the way he looked at Bai Jingqing had become a bit strange.

Is this kid missing a screw?

Does he really think he's making a profit?

Can you really make a profit at the price of 1,999?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

He's not making a damn thing!

He must be saying this on purpose

just to annoy me.

Too bad I'm not angry at all.

"Good, good, good."

"You made a profit, right?"

"That's good,

that's good!"

"Then keep making your profit.

I'll see when you can actually pay off your debt."

"However, I've recently found a very good channel."

"When the time comes for you to raise your prices,

don't complain that your Uncle is selling too cheaply!"

"I'd like to see

whether more people will come to buy from you

or from me then."

Bai Jingqing snorted. "Hmph."

"You have your channels,

that's your business,

it has nothing to do with me."

"How much I sell, how much I earn,

and when I pay off my debt,

also have nothing to do with you!"

"You should just go back to your own shop and rest!"

Pang Xietang was inwardly delighted after hearing this.

He's flustered!

He's getting flustered!

Seeing Bai Jingqing's face look so bad,

he knew he must have hit a sore spot.

He was using an open scheme now,

playing his cards face up for Bai Jingqing to see,

telling Bai Jingqing straight out:

"If you raise your prices later,

I will definitely sell lower than you,

and all the traffic you've attracted will be mine!"

"If you have the guts, keep selling at the current price of 1,999!"

"I'll see how long you can last!"

Seeing that Bai Jingqing's tone had changed,

he returned to his own phone store in a great mood.

It didn't matter that there were no customers now;

he was waiting for the day he would strike back at Bai Jingqing!

...

Meanwhile,

Lu Miaoxin, the female university student who had just bought the phone, had returned to campus.

On the way back to school,

she was constantly playing with the phone.

Mobile data was limited these days,

so she planned to connect to the campus Wi-Fi once she got back,

download QQ and WeChat,

and then tell others she had bought a new phone.

She arrived back at school around mealtime,

so it was almost time to eat.

First, she finished downloading WeChat,

and then she noticed that her classmate Tan Zhuoren had sent her several messages.

The last one was an invitation to go out for a meal together.

She immediately replied, "Sure!"

"I just got back to school.

Let's meet downstairs."

This Tan Zhuoren was her classmate,

a boy.

Tan Zhuoren was clearly trying to pursue Lu Miaoxin,

and Lu Miaoxin didn't reject him.

She planned to spend some time with him and see how it went,

so the two of them were currently in an ambiguous phase.

Although their relationship wasn't official yet,

they would usually go for meals together

or go to the library to study together.

The two of them chatted as they walked to the school cafeteria.

Just as Lu Miaoxin took out her newly bought xiaomi 4 to reply to a message,

Tan Zhuoren noticed it.

"Oh, Xinxin,

when did you get a new phone?"

Lu Miaoxin nodded. "I accidentally dropped and broke my old phone this morning."

"Didn't you notice that I didn't reply to your messages immediately this morning?"

"And this is the one I just bought."

"The owner said the specs are really high."

"The rear camera is 13 megapixels,

the front camera is 8 megapixels,

and it even has a beauty filter function."

"The storage is 64GB,

and it uses some Snapdragon 801 processor—"

"I forgot the exact name,

but anyway, this phone is really good!"

Tan Zhuoren was shocked. "A 13-megapixel phone?"

"The specs are that high?"

"My phone's camera is only 12 megapixels,

and the front camera might as well not exist."

"Plus, mine only has 16GB of memory."

"Then this must have been very expensive, right?"

Lu Miaoxin shook her head and said, "Not expensive."

"Only 1,999."

Tan Zhuoren said with a grin, "A phone that's nearly twelve thousand and you say it's not expensive!"

"When did you become such a little rich lady?"

Lu Miaoxin: "What twelve thousand?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

"It was only 1,999."

Hearing this,

Tan Zhuoren was immediately stunned. "What?!"

"You're saying this phone was only two thousand yuan?"

Seeing Tan Zhuoren's strong reaction,

Lu Miaoxin nodded, slightly dazed.

Tan Zhuoren took a deep breath. "You must have been scammed!"
