Chapter 27: The Difficult Problem

  Watching the waiter walk away, Zou He Ming leaned in and said to Jin Hu: "Tiger brother! This place is too expensive, it's a rip-off. Let's go to that small restaurant in the alley behind, I know they have a meat-covered rice bowl for just 15."

  Jin Hu listened and looked at Zou He Ming, saying: "What are you afraid of? I invite you to eat, just eat!"

  After hearing Jin Hu's words, Zou He Ming sat on the chair and twisted twice.

  "Are you short of money?" Jin Hu looked at him and asked, "If you're short of money, just tell me." After finishing speaking, he took out a paper package from the small bag he was carrying and handed it to Zou He Ming.

  Zou He Ming waved his hand and said, "I've also been converted to a regular employee, the company reimburses me for my suit, and my salary is over 6,000 yuan, which is enough. I can still save a lot each month."

  Jintiger put the money back in his bag: "How's it going with your colleagues?"

  "It's okay! Now they don't reject me like before, sometimes they even invite me to sing together" Zou He Ming happily said to Jin Hu: "Tiger brother, you're really amazing!"

  Jin Hu was speechless and just said: "Do a good job, work harder!"

  "Ah!" Zou He Ming nodded at Jin Hu.

  Just as the dishes were served, the two of them chatted while eating. Not even half an hour had passed when Zou He Ming's phone in his pocket rang. Zou He Ming answered and nodded continuously, saying "Uh-huh! Okay! I'll go up right away".

  "Hold on to the phone and said to Jinhu: "Brother Hu, I'll go first, no one in the company, boss is looking for someone to copy!" After finishing, he poured some sauce into his bowl, soaked his rice, took a few big bites, grabbed the paper towel next to him to wipe his mouth, and then stood up from his seat."

  Jin Hu looked at them: "You're not until two o'clock, it's only 12:40! Do you often look for me like this?"

  "Hmm! The boss often calls me like this, everyone else in the company has gone to eat, and only the boss is left upstairs." Zou Heming explained with a smile. He nodded at Jin Hu and walked out the door.

  Jin Hu looked at Zou He Ming's back and sighed, this was obviously bullying an honest person. Who calls someone to turn on the copier while they're eating? And why did everyone look for Zou He Ming specifically? But he couldn't help himself either. It was a good job after all, but it wasn't like he wanted him to follow in his footsteps and live a life of bloodshed. After thinking about it, he sighed again and beckoned the waiter over, saying "Check!"

  After driving and buying a lot of things to take back home, they finally returned to Zhang Yifan's residence. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they found two cars parked at the door. Jin Hu had just stopped the car and walked into the yard when he saw Li Lin with two unfamiliar people in the yard, looking at the two who were dressed up, not far from being rich second generations.

  Seeing Jin Hu enter the door, Li Lin said to him: "My two friends have seen my sword and want to get one too. Don't you still have two?"

  Jin Hu looked at the two people, then glanced at Zhang Yi Fan again. Seeing that Zhang Yi Fan pointed to himself with his hand, he understood and said to Li Lin: "I sold both of them to Zhang Yi Fan, why are you asking me instead of him?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Yi Fan secretly giving him the middle finger.

  Zhang Yifan's nonsense came out of his mouth, pointing at Jin Hu and saying: "This kid bought a few tens of thousands of bows from me last time, this time he finally made a profit for me".

  One of them said to Zhang Yifan: "Then name a price!"

  Zhang Yifan directly stretched out two hands and made a twenty gesture: "No second price! That is, one for 200,000 yuan."

  Jin Hu's heart began to sweat after hearing this price.

  "This price is a bit high," one of them said after taking a look at Zhang Yifan.

  Zhang Yifan's face was filled with a thick smile as he said to the two of them, "I'm telling you, brother, you've also seen the thing Li Lin brought back, right? Do you think those so-called masters online who sell things for 200,000 can compare to this? This is also a work by a foreign master! And my friend gave it to Li Lin as a gift, a token of friendship! You can't say it's market price. You two are also Li Lin's friends, and I'm selling it to you at cost. Later, I'll put it online for 3 million, and if you think it's too low, you can come find me and I'll refund the difference!"

  Two people took a look at Li Lin, and Li Lin said: "Such a sharp thing is put on the market at this price, anyway you see".

  Two people took a look at each other, and one of them said: "Then I'll take one!" Turning to Zhang Yifan, he asked: "Can you swipe cards here?" Seeing Zhang Yifan nodding, he followed Zhang Yifan into the house.

  Another one stood up and smiled: "I'll go back and think about it again."

  Jin Hu stood outside for a while and saw that man take out a sword, Li Lin said two sentences to Jin Hu and the other person before leaving with them.

  Zhang Yifan followed Jin Hu to send the three out of the yard, watching the car turn a corner and disappear from view. He said to Jin Hu: "This fool will be back in a few days to buy it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to the yard.

  Jintiger followed behind and entered the yard: "How did you know?"

  Zhang Yifan turned around and said to Jin Hu, "These people, if others have them, they must have them too. If others don't have them, it's best for them to have them. It won't take long, Li Lin will show off a few times and he'll be back."

  "Then you'll be out for a few days?" Jin Hu asked from behind.

  "Tomorrow I'll go get the money for you," Zhang Yifan said to Jin Hu.

  "Never mind, I still need to rent a place in the country, and then I'll give you an account number to transfer the money over."

  Zhang Yifan nodded and said: "That's good too. From now on, it will be this price. Can you give me 200,000 yuan per unit from now on?"

  Jin Hu nodded and asked: "You won't really sell for 300,000 yuan, will you?"

  "Of course!" Zhang Yifan said to Jin Hu, "The more expensive you sell it, the more face Li Lin will have, and others will think it's even more valuable. Now this one in my hand is worth 3 million, and after two weeks, I'll push it to someone else. I'm telling you, those who can afford it won't care about this little money, and those who can't afford it won't buy it even at cost price!"

  Jin Hu pointed at Zhang Yi Fan with his thumb: "You big cheater!" Jin Hu dared to ask for a high price from Ai Wen because he knew these people were rich and just wanted to try their luck.

  Zhang Yifan smiled and put his arm around Jin Hu's shoulder, saying: "This is not a swindler! We don't just sell goods, we also sell satisfaction to our customers. Forget it, I won't talk business with you, you turtle." After walking for a while, he turned to Jin Hu and said: "Honestly, how many swords can be produced in a year?"

  "About ten at most"

  Zhang Yifan nodded: "I guess it's about this number, I'll show you the style I found first, if you can even imitate the packaging, we'll sell it as a genuine product!" After finishing speaking, he went into the house and handed Jin Hu ten or so printed papers.

  Jin Hu flipped through it: "How come there's only so little?" The most was just over 200, the least was just a few dozen, and the total number Jin Hu saw was around 600.

  "Do you think I have a lot of money?" Zhang Yifan looked at Jin Hu and said: "This is my worth! The money for marrying a wife has all been spent, and I still need to buy a sword."

  "That's it!" Jin Hu rolled up the paper and held it in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he asked Zhang Yi Fan: "If I had an M4 or something like that in my hands one day, would you dare to sell?"

  Zhang Yifan looked at Jin Hu and laughed for a while, then looked at Jin Hu's serious face and slowly retracted the smile on his face. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Is what you said true?" Seeing Jin Hu nodding slowly, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one himself, and even forgot to offer one to Jin Hu. He kept pacing around the room, frowning tightly.

  Jin Hu looked at Zhang Yifan's expression, also pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up and took a puff, saying to Zhang Yifan: "This is what I just thought of, don't worry you have plenty of time to think about it, I reckon more than a year should be enough for you to think about it."

  "This is a difficult problem you've given me!" Zhang Yifan tapped the ash off his cigarette and took another drag: "I've only managed to grasp this business for a few years, but everyone knows it's a life-risking job. However, the profit is also something that makes people irresistible!"

  "Take your time, it's not too late for me to get a response even if I have something in my hand," Jin Hu said with a smile to Zhang Yi Fan. After the warship's energy is unlocked, Jin Hu will be able to produce this thing. In the manufacturing cabin, on top of the green knife tool, the first red one is this thing. Making money is faster with this thing. Moreover, Jin Hu can't go around promoting this thing everywhere, killing people and doing business are two different things.

  Zhang Yifan looked at Jin Hu and nodded slightly: "This thing won't work domestically! With a caliber of 54, it's already considered heavy artillery, so we still have to sell it abroad! There are always buyers for military equipment, the key is this channel."

  "This is what you're considering at the moment, I'm just guaranteeing the price and quality," Jin Hu said to Zhang Yi Fan.

  "I'm considering it," Zhang Yifan said, looking at Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu nodded and the two of them didn't mention that matter again. Instead, they talked about something else and watched a movie on the computer.

  At night, after the two had just finished dinner, Zhang Yifan's phone rang. He picked it up and said, "Sorry about that, someone has already reserved it. I just showed it off online this afternoon and someone made an offer to me. Let's wait for next time, when the goods arrive, I'll notify you first." After a couple of sentences, he hung up the phone.

  Jin Hu looked at Zhang Yifan and said: "Your lying skills are not that great, how can you be so quick to decide?"

  Zhang Yifan looked at Jin Hu and said: "You're just talking nonsense, bows worth tens of thousands can be sold to someone, this precious sword that can cut through iron like mud will definitely have buyers. I've been in this business for so long, it's not hard to recognize those rich clients who know how to appreciate good things, they are my high-quality customers. Now is not the right time to sell it to them, I need to find a wealthy circle outside and put it out there! You came with several swords like this before, I know that every wealthy circle has one, and you even prepared packaging, but this doesn't even have a wooden box."

  "This stuff is not something I can handle, if you want to, find someone else to deal with it." Jin Hu heard this and quickly waved his hand. This wooden thing was really troublesome, and there wasn't even such a thing at the South Gate Second District, where could he find someone to deal with it? American wood was abundant, but the labor cost was frightening, so let Zhang Yifan find someone else to handle it himself.

  "Alright then, shall we go out and have some fun now?" Zhang Yifan looked at his watch and said to Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu shook his head: "No! Go to bed early, Ming Da went back to his hometown tomorrow". Jin Hu had a hint of homesickness, returned to the room, and didn't fall asleep for a long time. The images of his father and mother kept flashing before his eyes.

  The next morning, I lost sleep early, ate something and said goodbye to Zhang Yifan, heading in the direction of my hometown.
