15: Chapter 15 This is practically like finding money on the street!

"Alright!" Although Wang Ming didn't understand why Zhao Yang wanted to do this, he agreed anyway.

The two of them were childhood friends. Although they weren't quite as close in high school as they used to be, the bond they had formed over so many years was still genuine.

Things weren't like they would be later on; it was only after Zhao Yang started university that he slowly began to drift apart from childhood playmates like Wang Ming.

After getting the photos, Zhao Yang quickly registered a taobao shop.

In his past life, his girlfriend was a merchant on the E-commerce Platform. Having been constantly exposed to it by her side, Zhao Yang could be said to know the registration process for merchants on the E-commerce Platform like the back of his hand.

This was because, in his previous life, his girlfriend had opened more than one taobao shop—or rather, the vast majority of merchants on the E-commerce Platform held more than one shop.

Some of the traffic rules were inherently complex, so under his girlfriend's guidance, Zhao Yang had even opened a taobao shop himself.

It was only 2008 now, and while the registration for a taobao shop differed slightly from later years, the difference wasn't significant.

Zhao Yang finished registering the taobao shop in no time.

He decorated the shop page a little, following the aesthetics of his past life.

For Zhao Yang, these operations were simple and easy.

But for the E-commerce Platform, which was currently in its pioneering stage, Zhao Yang's operation was somewhat overwhelming.

Zhao Yang's clothing was priced quite high, basically around 199 yuan.

For Zhao Yang, he didn't want to develop the taobao shop into a career, or rather, he didn't want to start competing fiercely while the E-commerce Platform was still in its primitive stage.

This could be considered the best time for pioneering!

He only needed to go to the Garment Factory to get some backlogged goods for six or seven yuan per jin—essentially zero cost—and earn 180 yuan per item sold. This was what Zhao Yang wanted to do.

Either way, every item sold meant money earned.

He would just earn some money first. As for the rest, once this year's financial crisis passed and he had some capital, dabbling in the stock market would be truly worthwhile.

In his previous life, as an employee of a major chip manufacturer, Zhao Yang naturally traded stocks, though he was no stock market genius.

However, in the few years he traded stocks, his capital had doubled!

He could be considered to have a little talent.

Even without talent, considering the years of the 2008 financial crisis...

The A-share market hit as low as 1600 points, which could be called the bottom of the bottom. You could just buy anything, and doubling your money in a year would be easy.

Although there were a few pullbacks during that period, the stock market from 2008 to 2015 was generally rising continuously.

Until the A-share market crashed again in 2015.

Although he wasn't really clear on the details, generally speaking, Zhao Yang still knew about a few "demon stocks."

Furthermore, Zhao Yang had specifically studied the K-line charts for the trends around 2008 for some of the stocks he had bought in his past life.

Relying on these things, Zhao Yang could easily make money.

He didn't intend to make too much money either; as long as it was enough for his research and enough for his financial freedom, that would suffice.

Learning would always be his main priority!

Since he had been reborn, if he only thought about making money every day, that would be too pathetic!

Especially since he even had a system!

His dream in his past life was to conduct research, but he lacked the talent.

But this life was different; he had a system in this life!

Not enough talent! The system makes up for it!

After registering the Taobao Online Store, Zhao Yang didn't pay any more attention to it.

That's right, this was the benefit of this era.

At this time, there were still very few Taobao Online Stores, but the traffic wasn't that bad.

Pioneering during such a primitive stage.

There was no need to burn money on paid traffic, pay for promotions, or engage in operations like fake orders; relying solely on organic traffic was enough to build up a shop.

After setting up the Taobao Online Store, Zhao Yang didn't continue to manage it.

He began to focus all his attention on Electromagnetism. He continued to solve problems!

"Ding! User gained Physics experience +1!"

"Ding! User gained Mathematics experience +1!"

"Ding! User gained Physics experience +2!"

… The system notification sounds continued to ring in his ears.

Zhao Yang studied intently.

At 10 PM, Zhao Yang used another stimulant right on time.

Before going to sleep, Zhao Yang discovered that the remaining value of the book Electromagnetism was only 5 points.

Tomorrow morning! He would finish this book! Then he would go find Wang Ming!

Having figured this out, Zhao Yang washed up and went straight to sleep.

7:30 AM! Zhao Yang got up on time, washed up, had breakfast, and then continued reading.

At 9 AM, Zhao Yang finally reduced the value of the book Electromagnetism to zero.

Seeing the value of Electromagnetism hit zero for the second time, a thoughtful look appeared in Zhao Yang's eyes.

He realized that although he had obtained all the value from the book Electromagnetism, in fact, he couldn't say he had fully grasped the book.

In fact, Zhao Yang had discovered this point with the previous book, the feynman lectures on physics.

Zhao Yang speculated that, in fact, this so-called value referred to the fact that the amount of knowledge he could currently acquire and accept had been exhausted.

Once his level improved further, perhaps these Physics books would radiate value once again.

This value judgment should be based on the system. At the same time, it was also related to his own level.

For example, at his current level, if he were to read some particularly impressive papers or books, the value certainly wouldn't be very high, and it might even be very low.

After all, his comprehension ability hadn't reached that point yet; forcing himself to read them would basically just be staring blankly.

Zhao Yang roughly understood what the system meant.

After finishing Electromagnetism, Zhao Yang's system mission progress finally reached one-tenth.

Take it slow! Being anxious was useless. Zhao Yang sighed softly.

After closing the book, Zhao Yang turned on his computer and checked his Taobao Online Store.

Taking a look, Zhao Yang was slightly stunned.

The shop he opened yesterday had actually already sold ten items of clothing! And there were four or five people asking for prices.

You have to know, his pricing was very high—nearly 200 yuan for a piece of clothing—and it wasn't a down jacket, nor was it a big brand.

Were the Users of the E-commerce Platform at this time all this wealthy?

A thought appeared in Zhao Yang's mind.

Ten items of clothing, based on the price, meant an easy income of two thousand!

This was practically like picking up money!

Although this money couldn't all go into his pocket, and they might return the goods or something, this was already very impressive!

Making money on the E-commerce Platform was feasible!

Zhao Yang was slightly excited.

He replied to some inquiries from Users, then closed his backend, packed up his books, and immediately went downstairs.

He arrived at a milk tea shop where he had arranged to meet Wang Ming. They used to come to this milk tea shop often when they were kids.

"Brother Yang, you're a bit slow today!" Wang Ming said to Zhao Yang with a smile.

"Had some things to do!" Zhao Yang smiled.

At this moment, Wang Ming handed Zhao Yang the milk tea he had already ordered. "What kind of things, Brother Yang?"
