Chapter 11: Intelligence Refreshed, Second-hand Sofa Hiding Private Money!
In the truck at the village entrance of Xiao Shahe Village.
Jiang Tao did some calculations on his mobile phone.
This morning at Pang Dongdong Supermarket, the total cost was 4497 yuan.
Received 5250 yuan transferred from Yu Dongdong, plus 2400 yuan from the landlord, totaling 7650 yuan.
7650 – 4497 = 3153!
Earned over 3000 yuan in just one morning!
Although not as much as he made selling watches yesterday, it’s still very good!
After finishing his calculations, he happily smoked a cigarette.
Jiang Tao then started the truck and headed straight for the Hongxing Second-hand Furniture Market.
At exactly 9 AM, Jiang Tao parked his truck at the entrance of the furniture market, quietly waiting for customers to bite like a fisherman.
In the past, whenever Jiang Tao arrived at the furniture market, he would start to feel anxious.
Would business be good or bad today? How much could he earn?
He was so short of money that all he thought about was money, and all he could see was money.
When business was good and he earned a lot, he would be very happy and excited.
When business was bad and he earned little, he would become anxious and self-destructive.
Every time his phone rang, he would worriedly wonder if it was a creditor calling to demand payment again.
With an income of 3000 yuan as a base today, Jiang Tao felt much more relaxed.
He felt like the world in his eyes had become clearer, and his breathing had become smoother.
“When good things happen, one’s spirits are high” probably describes Jiang Tao’s current state.
“Master, how much to deliver a few beds to Bai Ge Zhuang New Village?”
Jiang Tao got out of the truck, hadn’t finished his cigarette, and a job had come his way.
After some bargaining, they finally agreed on a price of 70 yuan.
Jiang Tao got into the truck, started the engine, and followed the customer to the wholesale market to begin his day’s work.
Overall, luck was good today.
In the morning, he took on 3 jobs and earned 230 yuan.
Lunch was fried flatbread at a small restaurant next to the wholesale market, costing 10 yuan.
He rested in the truck for about an hour at noon, and in the afternoon took on 4 more jobs, earning a clean 300 yuan.
By the end of the day, he had earned a total of 530 yuan, and after deducting fuel costs, the net profit was at least 400 yuan.
At 6 PM, as the sky began to darken, the market closed, ending the day’s business.
Jiang Tao also finished work and drove home.
For dinner, he made tomato egg noodles himself.
3 yuan for the noodles, 4 yuan for the tomatoes, plus 2 eggs.
The meal cost less than 10 yuan, and he ate his fill.
After eating his fill, he had a few sips of wine with roasted peanuts; life was quite enjoyable.
“What intelligence will tomorrow bring? I hope for more intelligence about making money!”
While drinking his wine, Jiang Tao’s mind stirred, and he opened the intelligence system, his eyes full of anticipation.
【 There are 5 hours and 27 minutes until the next intelligence refresh, please wait patiently…】
Ring ring ring~
His phone rang, and Jiang Tao saw it was a video call from his wife, Xu Li, and he tapped to answer.
The screen of the mobile phone flickered, and Xu Li’s figure appeared.
Xu Li was wearing a light gray dress today, looking tall and slender, very elegant.
Even as a married couple, Jiang Tao often felt a certain impulse when he saw his wife wearing beautiful clothes.
“Wow, whose wife is this? So beautiful!”
“What’s the use of being beautiful if no one wants you.”
“Hahaha, you old rascal, I’d love to use you every day. How about you bring our daughter to stay in the Capital City for a few days?”
“Hmph, I’m not going to stay in your doghouse. Are we going to sleep on the floor at your place?”
“If you two were to come, of course, you wouldn’t stay in my doghouse; we’d rent a place in the residential area.”
“With that spare money, it’s better to save it for new clothes for you and Xiao Xue for the Spring Festival! By the way, husband, did you sell the phone?”
“Sold it, sold it for 4000.”
While speaking, Jiang Tao directly transferred 4000 yuan to Xu Li via WeChat.
Of course, this money wasn’t from selling the phone, but from selling the watch and the liquor.
He wasn’t planning to sell the iPhone 15 he won from the Iced Black Tea promotion; he was keeping it as a New Year’s gift for Xu Li.
“I saw on JD.com that a brand new one costs over 4300, that’s a loss of over 300 yuan!”
Xu Li had an expression of extreme heartache on her face; 300 yuan was enough for their daughter to drink milk for two months.
“Be content, selling it at this price is pretty good. If they don’t get a small discount, why would they buy from us instead of buying directly online?”
“That’s true! By the way, husband, I have something to tell you.”
“Mm, go ahead.”
“My mom transferred 20,000 yuan to me today for emergencies.”
“Adding the money you gave me before, plus the 4000 yuan just now, I have about 30,000 yuan on hand now.”
“If anyone asks for debt repayment, let’s first discuss with them, pay back a part, and the rest next year.”
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Money can be earned and repaid slowly. Health is always the top priority.”
“Your mother and I are waiting to live a good life with you. Please take good care of yourself.”
Listening to Xu Li’s rambling on the phone, Jiang Tao was deeply touched.
To be able to marry such a wife who is willing to share hardships with him and is so understanding, he felt it was worth it!
“Don’t worry, wife. Our good days are not far away. You and our daughter just wait to enjoy blessings!”
Jiang Tao’s gaze fell upon the azure virtual panel in front of him.
He could already see the beautiful scene of the family of three living happily together every day.
The couple chatted on the phone for about an hour before hanging up.
After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Tao simply washed up and got into bed to listen to audiobooks.
In the previous few years, he often went out to wander around.
Often, while wandering, he would end up on the foot massage street.
As he got older, his life became simpler, and he became more able to endure loneliness.
Seeing that the time on his phone showed 00:01.
Jiang Tao finally pressed the pause button and closed the audiobook page.
“God of Wealth, please bless me with another piece of intelligence about making money!”
“I need money, I need money, I need money! Important things are said three times!”
Jiang Tao rubbed his hands, bowed to the air, and then with a thought opened the intelligence system.
【 Today’s Intelligence】: You were waiting for work at the Hongxing Second-hand Furniture Market today and obtained related intelligence—
Inside a second-hand single sofa sold by merchant B25, there is a person’s private money of 29,800 yuan hidden!
“Someone’s 29,800 yuan of private money!”
Seeing the latest piece of intelligence that had just refreshed, Jiang Tao was instantly thrilled!
What kind of normal person hides private money in a sofa!
And it was sold at a second-hand furniture market!
“Thank you, God of Wealth, you are my real grandfather!”
Seeing that the refreshed intelligence was indeed related to making money, Jiang Tao was excited again.
This was an intelligence worth 29,800 yuan!
Moreover, the cost was much lower than the three bottles of liquor he won today!
Therefore, the cost-effectiveness was higher!
If he could successfully acquire the “treasure sofa” containing the private money.
The money he earned in one day would be equivalent to the hard work of the past three months for Jiang Tao!
“Sleep, sleep, get enough rest. I must get that sofa tomorrow!”
After the excitement, Jiang Tao quickly got into bed and prepared to sleep.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with sofas and bright banknotes, and he couldn’t sleep!
