The King of Global Scrap Collection
Chapter 35 - 35 32 Greed

35: Chapter 32: Greed 35: Chapter 32: Greed Awoken early, a charming face, clear eyes and a clean smile suddenly flashed through his mind, causing an involuntary smile to grace his face.

After a while, he came to a sudden realization and slapped himself on the head, thinking “Li Zhongnan, oh Li Zhongnan, you’ve only seen her in passing.

It can’t be possible that you’ve already developed feelings for that girl!”

Last night, Li Zhongnan had only caught a cursory glimpse of her and then left.

It was late, and it wasn’t appropriate to walk in and strike up a conversation.

After washing up and having breakfast, he thought it through and decided to repay the debt from buying the scrap first.

Too lazy to go out, Li Zhongnan instead made a series of phone calls to his creditors, asking them to come and collect their money.

After paying off the debts, over half a million was gone.

After factoring in the cost of buying motorbikes the previous day, only about two million was left in his bank account.

He couldn’t help but sigh: money really can be burnt through quickly.

When the owners of the purchase station received their money, they were deeply moved.

They hadn’t held much hope for those IOUs in the short term, but unexpectedly, they were paid off in just a few days.

In no time, Li Zhongnan’s reputation had greatly improved.

Many scrapyard owners asked: “Boss Li, do you still need more?

I’ll save all my future stock for you!”

Fine, they didn’t dare call him Second Brother Li anymore.

As these days passed, One-eyed Wolf hadn’t made a move, and thus his intimidation had greatly diminished.

They were no longer afraid.

Selling to Li Zhongnan could earn them a few more bucks, and it was worth the risk.

Li Zhongnan replied with a grin, “Wait a while, I’ll contact you by phone when the time comes!”

He must continue with the scrap recovery.

However, right now, with over ten thousand gold coins in the system, and not much cash on hand, it was wiser to hold off.

At the moment, the most important thing was to earn money to build up his capital reserve.

Originally, when he came back this time, he planned to give his family several hundred thousand to build a new house.

But after some thought, he decided to wait a bit longer.

After all, they had been living like this for several decades, there was no need to rush now.

After all, two million wasn’t a lot of money and there were plenty of places where it would be needed.

After paying off the debts, and spending about a thousand gold coins to repair all the motorbikes, he made a list.

Then, he took another motorbike out of the system space, filled it with diesel and headed straight for the second-hand car dealer in the county town.

Hearing the sound of the vehicle, Fatty Yuan came out with a huge grin on his face.

Upon seeing Li Zhongnan, he burst into joy, “Little brother, you’re back.

How much stock have you brought this time?”

Last time, the bicycles and motorbikes had earned him a profit of a thousand or two, so naturally, he was elated to see Li Zhongnan again.

“My name is Li Zhongnan, and I am the second son in the family.

You can call me Second Brother Li,” Li Zhongnan said flatly.

He didn’t enjoy being called ‘little brother’ all the time.

Fatty Yuan shook his head, “Nope!

I must call you Mr.

Li!”

Li Zhongnan chuckled, “Suit yourself.

Boss Yuan, let’s cut the small talk and get down to business.

This time, I have about 1,500 brand new motorcycles to sell.

Most of them are men’s Hondas, with a few women’s Dayangs.

The detailed list is here, what’s your offer?” He handed over a piece of paper as he spoke.

“The price is negotiable!”

Fatty Yuan didn’t take the list, forcing a smile instead, “I’m sorry, but my little dealership here can’t handle such a large volume.

I mean, I only sell one or two motorbikes a day, and you’re providing me with over a thousand.

I don’t even have enough storage space for that.”

Looking around, indeed, Fatty Yuan’s place was not large enough to hold so many units.

Fine, he’d have to find another buyer.

Just as Li Zhongnan was about to leave, Fatty Yuan stopped him, “On the other hand, I can introduce you to a big client.

He’s a relative of mine, and I got into this business because of him.

It’s just that he’s currently in Nangang.

If it’s not inconvenient for you, I can accompany you to meet him after I close my shop in the evening.”

“Alright!”

Li Zhongnan responded with a cheerful grin.

Without a doubt, having Fatty Yuan to make the introduction would be much better than running around blindly.

With this issue settled, he no longer needed to rush off.

He started browsing Fatty Yuan’s dealership.

It was quite an assorted mix, selling bicycles, motorcycles, and cars.

Of course, all were second-hand.

After a while, Li Zhongnan asked, “Boss Yuan, do you only sell low-end vehicles like the Volkswagen and Toyota?”

Fatty Yuan was now interested, “Mr.

Li, are you thinking of buying a car?”

Li Zhongnan nodded, “I do plan to, but I’m a bit short on cash right now.

And I don’t want a low-end model.

Can you get something high-end but at a cheaper cost?

The lower the price, the better, and I don’t care how old or if it’s scrap.”

With Ge Qing’s promise, he expects to have a driver’s license soon.

It was about time he bought a car.

He couldn’t always ride a motorcycle or drive a van to do business, right?

It’s fine within Nangang, but going to bigger cities outside Nangang would look unprofessional.

Of course, if he were to buy a car, it would have to be a high-end one.

“No problem, leave it to me,”

Fatty Yuan replied, thumping his chest.

Then he asked, “What kind of car would you like, Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi?”

“Mer…Mercedes-Benz!” Li Zhongnan prefers Audi, and his dream was to buy an A8 someday.

But when he remembered that Zhao Yi drove an Audi, he changed his mind.

However, as soon as he spoke, he was a bit startled.

What does Zhao Yi’s car have to do with him?

“Wait for my good news!” Fatty Yuan laughed.

Li Zhongnan nodded and rode away.

Back at the shop.

He bought some groceries, cooked a meal, finished, then took a nap.

When he woke up, it was only around two or three in the afternoon.

Suddenly, he remembered the painting at the Tianning Temple Antique Shop, he closed his shop and went out.

Right now, five hundred thousand wasn’t all that much to him, so he decided to buy it first, irrespective of when he was going to fix it and sell it.

He would worry about that later when he had the channels for it.

However, once he got there, the antique shop was closed.

Well, he had to go back again.

Having nothing to do, he opened the shop to do business.

After recycling a few old mobile phones and repairing them, he sold them and made two or three thousand.

Sitting bored, he remembered the Taobao store Chen Xiaoting had opened.

He was curious and wanted to learn about the online selling model.

He turned on the computer and dialed Chen Xiaoting’s number on his mobile phone.

When Chen Xiaoting answered the call, she asked, “Boss, didn’t you say you’d give me a week off?

It’s only been two days, do I have to go to work again?”

Li Zhongnan replied, “Nope.

I just want to know, what’s your Taobao store’s account password?”

Chen Xiaoting sounded alarmed, “Ah!

Boss, I forgot for a moment.”

“You can’t even remember a few digits, I’m deducting a hundred from your salary!” Li Zhongnan joked, then asked, “Have you saved it on the computer?”

After some hesitation, Chen Xiaoting mumbled, “Yes, it’s in the folder on the desktop.”

“Okay.

Have a good rest, and don’t forget to study as well,”

Li Zhongnan responded with a chuckle, then thought for a moment, and gave her a piece of advice, “Xiaoting, don’t underestimate my shop just because it’s small right now.

Soon, I’ll be opening many companies, establishing a couple of big corporations.

If you can’t keep up with my pace, I’ll have to let you go.

But if you can keep up, you can easily become one of my founding generals, being a president isn’t out of the question.”

He had a good impression of Chen Xiaoting, and as she was also Han Xue’s cousin, if she could grow into her role, he wouldn’t mind giving her a bigger stage.

Hanging up the call, he found the account and password, and logged in to give it a look.

After a while, Li Zhongnan’s face darkened!

The entire account, especially in the promotional fees section, only had 20 thousand.

If it had been him before, who wasn’t familiar with this area, he might not have noticed.

But after taking the genetic potion, his thinking has become much more agile, and he saw the issue immediately.

The invoice for 100 thousand was clearly meant to deceive him!

A hundred thousand, she actually swallowed eighty thousand!
