Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Tsk!" The man in black immediately put the bracelet away. "5 yuan? Are you kidding? How can a bracelet like this be sold for less than 20 yuan? Do you think we are fools?"

Shopkeeper Mao was a little embarrassed.

Just as the man said, jadeite with such water content and first-class workmanship is indeed worth 20.

Unfortunately, he was just a small business owner, and his business consisted of some ancient coins, calligraphy and paintings, cheap jade, and some four treasures of the study.

20. Even if he sold his shop, it might not be worth that much money. How could he afford to buy such a valuable treasure?

However, he was also envious of such a good thing. He believed that if he could get it for less than 10 yuan, he could sell it in a big city for at least 30 yuan.

"8. I'll offer you 8. How about it? I wonder if you can give it up?"

Shopkeeper Mao stepped forward again, and when he saw the bracelet in the black-clothed man's hand, it was as if he saw a pile of banknotes waving at him.

"20, no bargaining. If you really want to accept it, you have to pay this price." The man in black did not give in at all.

Shopkeeper Mao looked frustrated and could only spread his hands to express his disapproval.

Zhao Aiguo, who was standing by, had already been itching to try it.

He hurriedly pulled Shopkeeper Mao aside and asked softly, "Is it real? Is it really a glass jade bracelet?"

"Of course I can do that. I'm not a fool in this business." Shopkeeper Mao sighed, shaking his head as he continued, "Unfortunately, I don't have that much money. Good things like this are rare. If I find a good owner, I shouldn't have any problem selling it for 30."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Aiguo immediately became excited.

He really didn't understand, but he believed in Manager Mao's judgment.

Since Manager Mao doesn't have the financial resources to collect it, he can think of a way.

Maybe I can get the money to buy this bracelet and use it as a gift for my daughter-in-law. The last time I was at home, Zhao Wenhao and Yang Yue were discussing getting married next year.

As a father-in-law, he must of course make preparations, and at the same time, he must not let his own son look down upon him!

Anyway, he also believed that even if he bought the bracelet with his own money and gave it to his daughter-in-law in the future, Zhao Wenhao would be happy when he found out. He would definitely return the money to him and maybe even compensate him more.

When the time comes, just tell them that you want to buy it for 28, and you can still make a profit.

Thinking of this, Zhao Aiguo couldn't help but feel happy.

"Okay, let's go. Ping'an County is just a small place. We can always get a good price if we go to the city or the provincial capital." The man in the white shirt took the bracelet, wrapped it up again, and put it in his bag. "Master, take us to the hotel."

Zhao Aiguo quickly greeted Manager Mao and eagerly took the two of them out.

The three of them got into the car quickly, but Zhao Aiguo did not start the van.

"Let's go! We still have to go back and pack up, and go to the city or province to ask as soon as possible." The man in black urged.

Zhao Aiguo turned around and looked at the two of them. "How about you sell this bracelet to me?"

"Sell it to you? Can you afford it? A guy driving a van, huh..." The man in black said with disdain.

"Why can't I afford it? Do you know who I am?"

Zhao Aiguo was immediately furious. In Ping'an County, no one was unwilling to give him face. Even the county magistrate greeted him politely and called him uncle.

"Who else could you be, a guy driving a broken van?" The man in black still looked down on Zhao Aiguo.

The man in the white shirt quickly stopped his companion from continuing: "How can you talk like that? Didn't you see that Shopkeeper Mao was so polite to this big brother just now?"

Zhao Aiguo raised his head proudly and glanced at the man in black. "My son is Zhao Wenhao from Hengyuan Electronics. I'm his father. Do you think I can afford this thing?"

"Is this true? Zhao Wenhao's father can come out and drive a van to do business? Brother, we didn't meet a liar today, did we?" The man in black still didn't believe it and looked at his companion in confusion.

The man in the white shirt was also a little unconvinced. He shook his head and said nothing.

Zhao Aiguo suddenly became anxious and got out of the car immediately. He then took the two of them back into the store and found Shopkeeper Mao. "Shopkeeper Mao, who am I?"

Seeing Zhao Aiguo coming over again, he was still confused about the situation: "You are the father of the boss of Hengyuan Electronics. How many people in Ping'an County don't know this? What's the matter? Did these two people offend you?"

Zhao Aiguo looked at the two men proudly: "Do you believe it now?"

The two men were surprised, and one of them even took out a cigarette and offered him a cigarette: "So you are Boss Zhao's father. We really didn't recognize you!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Aiguo's face was full of arrogance, and even his eyes turned into a squint.

"Let's talk outside." The two of them quickly pulled Zhao Aiguo out of the store again.

"Brother, now I really believe it. How about this, 20, and you can take the bracelet. Such a good thing is not worthy of just anyone. Only wealthy people like you are worthy of it."

The three of them got back into the car, and the man took out a bracelet from his bag and handed it over.

"20? That's too high. This kind of stuff would only cost 12 at most." Zhao Aiguo got a good price.

The man in black immediately became anxious: "I heard that your family is worth billions, why are you still comparing yourself to ordinary people like us?"

"No matter how rich you are, you can't just treat it like paper flowers!" Zhao Aiguo acted indifferent. "How about this, I'll raise the price a little. 13 is already quite high. Even if you go to the provincial capital, you may not be able to find a good buyer."

"It's too low, we can't accept it. How about this, let's make a concession and say 18. If you really want it, we'll make a deal." The man in the white shirt responded.

"In the entire Ping'an County, only our family has the financial resources to do this," Zhao Aiguo began to speak shamelessly. "If even we won't buy it, who can you sell it to? If you take such a valuable thing to the provincial capital and something goes wrong, you won't be heartbroken."

The two men seemed to be somewhat persuaded by Zhao Aiguo, so they murmured in the back for a while and finally made a decision: "Brother, for your son's sake, this bracelet will be sold to you for 15. This is the lowest price. If it is lower, we would rather go to the provincial capital."

Zhao Aiguo pretended to ponder for a while, but in fact he was already overjoyed.

Just now, Manager Mao told him in person that this bracelet is definitely worth 20 yuan. If he finds a good buyer, it might be sold for 30 yuan.

In this way, he can make double the money by just flipping the product.

Of course, this was a wedding gift he intended to give to Yang Yue, and he had no intention of selling it.

However, when he went to his son to claim the money, it was still equivalent to him making twice as much.

"make a deal!"

Zhao Aiguo slapped his thigh and agreed on the spot.
