Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System Chapter 129 - 120: The Shattered Car Window (5,000 Words)

In the north of the city, inside an old and secluded warehouse, a middle-aged man pointed to the corner of the storage room and said, "Here are two tons of wild waterlons. I bought them from farrs a few years ago for dicinal purposes. Later, the dicine didn’t sell well, so they’ve been left here ever since."

"If you want them, I can give them to you for a cheaper price."

The middle-aged man’s hair was disheveled, his face full of fatigue, looking just like Qi Yun did before his company went bankrupt years ago.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun directed his gaze toward the pile of wild waterlons in the corner of the storage room. He stepped forward a few steps, squatted down, and carefully examined the condition of the wild waterlons, finding that although they’d been stored for years, they were still relatively well-preserved.

He then slowly stood up, took out a cigarette, handed one to the middle-aged man beside him, and said, "Wait for a few minutes. I need to call my partner for a quick discussion."

The middle-aged man nodded, took the cigarette, and lit it, while Qi Yun took out his phone, walked to the side, and dialed the Chengdu businessman’s number.

The call was quickly connected, and from the other end ca a fluent Sichuan-accented voice: "Hey, who is it?"

"Hello, boss, I heard from a friend that you’re buying wild waterlons, is that right?" Qi Yun got straight to the point.

"Exactly! Do you have any?"

"Yes, I have two tons collected a few years ago, guaranteed wild."

Hearing this, the person on the other end imdiately sounded excited: "Two tons, great, I’ll take them all."

"What about the price?" Qi Yun squinted his eyes and asked.

"Well..." The businessman pondered for a mont and replied, "To be honest with you, the price I usually pay is 80 yuan per kilogram. Since you have two tons, I’ll add 2 yuan more, 82 yuan per kilogram."

"How do you feel about that?"

Qi Yun didn’t answer imdiately. He waited two seconds before saying, "Let discuss with my friend. I’ll get back to you in a few minutes."

"Alright, alright."

After hanging up, Qi Yun extinguished his cigarette butt and walked back to the pharmaceutical factory owner.

"I’ll take all two tons. What price are you offering?"

The pharmacy owner’s eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation, but then he hesitated, bit his lip, and said, "Brother, I won’t beat around the bush. The cost of these two tons of wild waterlons wasn’t cheap when I bought them. Although they’ve been here for years, it doesn’t affect their dicinal properties."

"Here’s the real price: 98,000 yuan, I can’t go any lower."

Qi Yun rubbed his chin, quickly calculating in his mind.

The Chengdu businessman’s price was 82 yuan per kilogram, which is 164,000 yuan for two tons. Subtracting 98,000 yuan, I can still earn 66,000 yuan. This deal is worth it.

He looked at the pharmacy owner’s bloodshot eyes and handed him another cigarette, smiling, "Don’t bother with 98,000, I see this batch is good. I’ll round it up to a whole number, 100,000 yuan, let’s be friends."

"I’ve been through your situation before. Just endure it, and it’ll get better. I hope we have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

With that, he patted the pharmacy owner’s arm.

The pharmacy owner’s eyes imdiately reddened. He stared at Qi Yun for a long while, tremblingly said, "Thank you."

Perhaps what he valued more wasn’t the extra 2,000 yuan, but the encouragent given by Qi Yun.

Qi Yun waved his hand with a smile, "Let’s sign the contract, and I’ll call the truck to pick it up shortly."

"Co on, let’s go to my office."

With that, the pharmacy owner led Qi Yun to his office. After the two of them signed the contract, Qi Yun imdiately transferred 100,000 yuan to the pharmacy owner’s account.

Afterward, he went outside to call the driver who previously hauled frozen shrimp, asking him to co and help with the cargo.

It didn’t take long for the truck to arrive at the warehouse. The pharmacy owner even found two workers to help load the goods.

During this break, Qi Yun once again called the Chengdu businessman to confirm the trading location.

After all the goods were loaded, Qi Yun had the truck follow his car and headed toward another warehouse.

Over there, the Chengdu businessman and two Uighur workers were already waiting. As soon as the goods arrived, they quickly started unloading the truck.

Once the scaling was complete, the other side promptly made the paynt.

After paying the driver, Qi Yun hurried to Liu ng’s house.

Liu ng was originally working on a nearby construction site. As soon as he heard soone needed his help, without saying much, he directly left the construction site and ca back.

"What’s up, Qi? What do you need my help with?" Seeing Qi Yun getting out of the car, Liu ng, who was squatting at the courtyard gate, imdiately ca over.

Qi Yun patted his arm and joked with a smile, "What, won’t even offer a drink of water?"

Liu ng chuckled honestly, "Co on, let’s talk inside."

Once they were inside and seated, Qi Yun finally said, "I want you to take a trip with to Kashi. It’ll take about three to four days round trip."

"The profit on this run is not small. I’ll give you 5,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Liu ng hurriedly shook his head and refused, "No problem going to help you, but forget the money, I don’t want it."

Last ti when he was hospitalized, Qi Yun ca to the hospital and left 5,000 yuan, and he had always kept it in mind, feeling it improper to take Qi Yun’s money again.

Qi Yun smiled, took out a cigarette, handed it over, and teased, "What, your wife and kids don’t eat?"

Liu ng’s face instantly turned red, stamring as he tried to say sothing else.

Qi Yun lit the cigarette, waved his hand to interrupt, "Don’t worry, my profit this ti is far more than 5,000 yuan. Just take it. Otherwise, I won’t feel comfortable asking for your help next ti."

Hearing this, Liu ng hesitated for a mont, then said with a wry smile, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll accept the money, but just this once, okay? You’ve helped enough, and discussing money between brothers hurts feelings."

Qi Yun nodded with a smile, "Alright, then hurry up and pack, and we’ll head out directly later. We’ll take turns driving to try to reach Kashi by tomorrow morning."
