The King of Global Scrap Collection
Chapter 44 - 44 46 Channels

44: Chapter 46: Channels 44: Chapter 46: Channels In a nearby mid-level residential area, he rented a one-bedroom apartment, which was devoid of furniture except a bed.

The rent was nearly 3,000 a month, with a three month deposit required, instantly depleting him of 10,000 yuan.

Li Zhongnan winced at the expense.

But it was an unavoidable measure for convenience.

In Shenzhen, property prices often escalated to 180,000 yuan per square meter.

Considering his present circumstances, buying a house was downright impossible.

His earlier excitement had vanished without a trace.

Well, it was best to keep a low profile and focus on making money.

After taking a bath, Li Zhongnan decided to stay in for the night.

He had been driving all day and it was already past 10 pm.

He ordered some takeaway food and lay on the bed, lost in thought.

There were two purposes to his visit to Qianghua North.

One, to acquire a consignment of discarded mobile phones and identify a stable sourcing channel.

Second, to customize mobile phone cases, chargers, and other accessories.

He realized that he couldn’t go at it alone anymore, the world’s money cannot be earned by a single person.

While indulging in prosperity, it was always beneficial to let others have a share of it too.

In this way, he could build up reserves to further grow his wealth.

So, in order to save time and energy, he needed to find a partner and outsource the recycling segment.

Grabbing his phone, he logged onto WeChat.

Then, he browsed through the nearby contacts, the number of people in the electronic product buying and selling industry was pretty high.

He singled out a few young women with attractive profile pictures and appealing figures.

After adding them and explaining his intentions, he chatted with each one in turn, picking out a few that seemed particularly competent.

He then video-called them to verify their identities and made appointments to discuss further the next day.

After a good night’s sleep…

Having breakfast, he drove to an exit at the subway station.

A few beauties in their early twenties approached him.

At the sight of his car, they seemed less wary, apparently reassured that he had the means to do business and was not a scammer.

One of them asked, “Are you Li Zhongnan?”

Li Zhongnan nodded in confirmation.

After verifying his identity, he and the group moved to a coffee shop and ordered a round of coffees.

Sitting down, Li Zhongnan began, “I already informed you about my specific needs yesterday.

I need a huge quantity of discarded phones.

As for the price, new phones currently priced at 500 to 1,000 in the market, I’ll take each at 100, and for those above 1,000, I’ll take at ten percent of the market price.”

“The more phones you have, the better.

So, I’m only concerned about one thing: the volume!

And that’s not all, I also need discarded computers, home appliances, and so on in the future!”

Leaning back in his chair, Li Zhongnan looked at the three beauties before stating, “Now, it’s your turn.

If you want to cooperate with me, please convince me why I should choose you.”

Discarded phones, when sold to recycling companies to extract precious metals, barely fetched a few thousand yuan per ton.

Of course, some could be dismantled for useful chips for refurbishing, but this was also not very profitable.

Therefore, with the price offered by him, after deducting labor costs, the partners stood to earn a lot.

The most important aspect was the volume he required, as much as they could provide.

Seeing a golden opportunity they all perked up, their eyes glinting, eagerly vying to make an impression.

Fang Shurong watched the spectacle with amusement.

After everyone else had a chance to speak, she finally said, “Give me three days and I guarantee you 30,000 pieces.

For the first month, I promise you 300,000 pieces.

A year from now, it’ll be at least a million every month!”

With a confident smile, she added, “Besides, I have one more advantage over them!”

Intrigued, Li Zhongnan asked, “Let’s hear it.”

Fang Shurong puffed out her chest and declared, “I’m prettier than them, and my figure is better!”

Li Zhongnan was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected this woman to be so vain and make such a statement openly.

Moreover, at least to his eyes, all the women present were fairly comparable in looks and figure.

However, he didn’t want to get into this and simply asked, “And how does all this pertain to business?”

Throwing a flirty glance at him, Fang Shurong teased, “It has no relevance!

But, I believe Mr.

Li would prefer doing business with a beauty like me, don’t you think?”

“Deal!

It’s you then!” Decided Li Zhongnan.

The woman had a unique charm, she seemed more relaxed, unlike the others who were conventionally guarded.

Most importantly, she offered a definite number, unlike the others who just claimed to have powerful resources but didn’t provide a specific number.

However, Fang Shurong questioned, “But how do we know about your means?

The price you offer is indeed high.

But how long can you sustain a loss-making business?”

She was probing his resolve, equally worried about the longevity of their business agreement.

Li Zhongnan responded ambiguously, “Time will tell!”

“Alright, time will tell!”

Fang Shurong raised her hand and cheered, “Here’s to a successful collaboration!”

“To a successful collaboration!”

Li Zhongnan met her raised hand with a high-five.

Leaving the coffee shop…

Li Zhongnan turned to her and asked, “So, what’s your name?”

Fang Shurong was struck speechless.

Here she thought he was smitten by her charm, only to find he hadn’t even bothered to remember her name!

A bit annoyed, she clarified, “My name is Fang Shurong, remember it, Boss!

‘Shu’ as in comfortable and ‘Rong’ as in fusion!”

Li Zhongnan nodded and joked, “Quite a meaningful name!”

But Fang Shurong laughed away, teasing, “I’m a lot more interesting, Mr.

Li, would you like to try a taste?”

Being the first interaction, he wasn’t able to judge her character yet.

Li Zhongnan could only chuckle, then asked, “Miss Fang, I’m not familiar with this place, this being my first visit.

I wonder if you could kindly act as my guide?”

Fang Shurong nodded and got into his car.

Under her guidance, Li Zhongnan pretty much toured the whole street, covering the famous Electronic City, Digital Plaza, and second-hand marketplaces.

This trip was quite enlightening.

Compared to Nangang, the difference was like night and day.

Even the smallest Electronic City here had over a thousand shops.

All of Nangang City combined probably didn’t match up.

During the tour, Li Zhongnan frequently posed questions related to the electronics industry.

After all, he was a stranger to this field with only a modicum of understanding.

Fang Shurong patiently explained everything.

Li Zhongnan kept nodding as he listened, absorbing invaluable knowledge from this rapid crash course.

After walking around the whole morning, upon parting, Li Zhongnan thanked her, “Miss Fang, I really appreciate your help!”

Fang Shurong laughed it off, saying, “No need for thanks!”

However, inwardly she began to suspect, why didn’t he even know the basic knowledge of the industry?

Could he be a fraud?

Did he approach her under this pretext just to get close to her?

She even doubted if the car was actually his.
