And so, He Xuewen made two more trips to Guangzhou and pulled in three train carloads of goods, which finally satisfied the demand of Hangzhou City. Although it was still slightly insufficient, He Xuewen did not plan to go again. Money is endless, but the attention at present is too intense. If it beca too conspicuous, both he and Yang Wenbin would be in trouble.
Yang Wenbin did not object either. He was not the type to be engrossed in the pursuit of money to the point of obliviousness, which is probably why he got along well with He Xuewen. The two counted the money they had earned this ti. They had been busy with purchasing wholesale in recent days and hadn’t had ti to count the cash on hand. They were taken aback by the amount they tallied up.
The largest denomination of money was currently the ten yuan "big unity". Yang Wenbin had stuffed all the money received into a large woven bag. The two drew the hotel room’s curtains shut, dumped all the money from the bag onto the bed, and began counting sheet by sheet.
"Fifteen thousand and three hundred fifty yuan."
Both recounted and confird the figure, leaving them dumbfounded. Holding the money, they looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
Originally, He Xuewen had planned to procure the goods and sell them wholesale to Yang Wenbin, with He Xuewen simply earning a margin. However, with costs amounting to thirty or forty thousand yuan, and Yang Wenbin having just sent his money ho, his finances were a bit tight. Hence, he discussed investing together with He Xuewen.
He Xuewen, of course, had no objections. Thus, they each contributed half, eighteen thousand yuan per person, totaling thirty-six thousand yuan. Now, with one hundred and fifty thousand yuan in hand, and after deducting the initial investnt, it ant that each of them had earned fifty-seven thousand yuan.
"Xuewen, pinch . Am I dreaming?" Although Yang Wenbin had been in business for over ten years, he always dealt on a small scale. A few thousand yuan in earnings was considered a significant deal for him. But this ti, it was over a hundred thousand! It was his first ti seeing so many "big unity" notes, and his voice trembled with excitent.
He Xuewen was excited too, but with the backing of the He Family Treasure Vault, his reaction was not as exaggerated as Yang Wenbin’s. He gave Yang Wenbin a disdainful glance and pinched him hard. Yang Wenbin jumped from the pain, glaring at He Xuewen, but then he imdiately broke into a happy smile.
"Ha ha, Xuewen, we’re rich, incredibly rich!" exclaid Yang Wenbin, hugging He Xuewen.
After the excitent subsided, the two divided the money and carefully found a bank to deposit it. The bank staff were also shocked by their large deposits. In those days, having a few thousand yuan in savings ant you were wealthy, but here were these two depositing tens of thousands! Where did these tycoons co from?
Though they had made a lot this trip, it was also quite grueling. Yang Wenbin planned to return ho and rest for a while. He rembered his previous promise to introduce Mr. Yun to He Xuewen, so he consulted He Xuewen about whether to go to Beijing together now or to wait a few more days.
He Xuewen thought for a mont and then said, "I’ll go back and get ready before heading to Beijing to et you. Besides, I need to bring these clothes back for Ah Nan to make her happy."
Among the goods this ti were several beautiful girls’ outfits. He Xuewen picked out several sets of good quality clothing for Tian Sisi. Of course, all of them were new; he couldn’t bear to let his beloved daughter wear old clothes!
Yang Wenbin smiled knowingly; he also chose a few fashionable skirts to take ho to his wife and the young won in the family. They would surely be delighted.
Thus, the two agreed on a ti and went their separate ways.
In Hangzhou, He Xuewen bought so local specialties like West Lake Lotus Root Powder, silks, and paper umbrellas, and with big and small bags in hand, he headed ho. After staying out for over ten days, he missed his daughter dearly.
The items that He Xuewen brought back were very popular. The West Lake Lotus Root Powder was given to the Old Man, Granny Zhao, Tian Bajin, Zhong Boqiang, and Tang Tieshan, who also found gifts for them. The lotus root powder, rich in nutrients, was ideal for the elderly to drink and convenient to prepare, requiring just hot water to mix. Granny Zhao and the other elders liked this gift a lot.
The happiest was Tian Sisi, whose gifts were the most plentiful. What she loved most were the several sets of clothes. The outfits Daddy brought back were very much to her liking, not only for the quality of the fabric but also for the generous styles.
Of course, He Xuewen thought of all the children at ho. Almost everyone received a gift, so books, so pens, and so toys, among other things, bringing joy to all, especially Tian Shouhua and Tang Qiubai, the two who loved books the most. They were so glad they couldn’t stop smiling, holding their books, and were very grateful to He Xuewen.
