Chapter 113: A Fugitive With A 100,000 Bounty And The Third Sister’s Kidney Deficiency!
While Jiang Tao’s family of three were comforting his mother-in-law at her home.
Jiang Bing was home alone, working on her notebook computer in her room.
Although she usually seemed boisterous and a bit silly.
She was very serious and responsible when it came to work.
A girl from an ordinary rural background with nothing, she could earn seven to eight thousand yuan a month through her own efforts, which was quite outstanding.
Previously, her family had arranged blind dates for her, and many of the men earned less than she did.
After the Spring Festival, the traffic for the online store began to recover.
The number of orders for the shop Jiang Bing managed also increased, nearly returning to pre-festival levels.
Various small toys and accessories, although not high in unit price, contributed to sales volume and a considerable profit.
However, the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket, listed at 199 yuan and marked as in stock, had yet to sell a single unit.
Jiang Tao wasn’t anxious, which made Jiang Bing a bit worried, wondering if she should find someone to fake some orders.
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
The breakthrough in sales volume for a product from 0 to 1 is crucial.
Especially for a product whose price clearly exceeds its value, no one is willing to be the first sucker.
If someone has already bought it, the psychological burden for subsequent buyers will be much smaller.
They won’t feel like they’re the only one being “ripped off.”
“It’s coming, it’s coming soon, the advantage is ours! Hold steady, we’ll definitely win!”
Shifting her gaze from the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket in the product list, Jiang Bing clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
In the past few days, the box office for 《 Nezha 2》 has been climbing, breaking new records.
All sorts of related merchandise for the movie have also seen a massive surge in traffic.
Across the country, Flying Pig Popcorn Buckets sold alongside popcorn in movie theaters have become hot sellers, with a situation where they are hard to come by.
By the time movie theaters realized they wanted to buy more, there were no Flying Pig Popcorn Buckets in stock, and pre-orders were required.
Many online shops also had no Flying Pig Popcorn Buckets in stock and had switched to a pre-order model.
After purchasing, customers would have to wait one to two months for delivery.
Her own stock of 10,000 Flying Pig Popcorn Buckets were in stock, in stock, in stock!
They could be shipped as soon as they were sold, which was a huge advantage!
Two months later, the hype for 《 Nezha 2》 might have already died down.
For young people who follow trends, they absolutely cannot afford to be left two months behind the wave.
Didi~
As Jiang Bing was processing orders, someone sent a consultation message on the shop’s instant messenger.
“Is the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket in stock? When can it be shipped?”
Seeing this consultation message, Jiang Bing’s body trembled. Finally, someone had taken the bait!
Jiang Bing’s fingers flew across the keyboard, typing rapidly to reply:
“Yes, it’s in stock and can be shipped tomorrow!”
The other party didn’t reply after seeing her response.
Just as Jiang Bing thought this order was a bust again, an order notification suddenly popped up in the backend.
Customer XXXX had ordered 4 Flying Pig Popcorn Buckets for a total of 796 yuan!
“Someone actually bought them!”
Seeing that the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket listed at 199 yuan had finally started selling, and with an order of 4 units right at the start.
Jiang Bing was overjoyed, seeing it as a good omen!
After processing the Taobao order, Jiang Bing opened her Little Red Book.
“Huh! Six were sold here too!”
Seeing that six had also been sold on Little Red Book, Jiang Bing was ecstatic again.
It was as if she could already see countless banknotes flying her way.
Ding dong!
While she was still filling in the address on Little Red Book, another order came in on Taobao.
Another Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket was sold.
Since breaking the zero sales mark, the sales of the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket seemed to have broken free from a seal, with orders coming in constantly.
In just over an hour, more than a dozen customers had placed orders, selling a total of 31 units!
“It’s exploding, it’s exploding, these sales are going to explode!”
Looking at the sales trend of the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket, Jiang Bing danced with excitement, unable to contain herself.
Click~
Hearing the sound of a door opening outside, Jiang Bing hurried to get up from her seat, pulled open the room door, and rushed out.
“Second Brother! They’re selling, they’re selling, they’ve started selling!”
Jiang Bing quickly rushed to Jiang Tao, who had just entered, grabbed his arm, and excitedly shared her joy with him.
Jiang Tao looked speechlessly at the boisterous third sister:
“Started selling what? Look at you getting so excited.”
Xu Li also said happily, “Third Sister, did that SP autographed card sell?”
“Uh, no, it wasn’t that SP card, it’s our Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket that’s finally started selling! Someone placed an order!”
“Stay calm, Third Sister, there’s no need to be so excited. Your mentality isn’t good enough, you still need to practice.”
Jiang Tao smiled, patted his third sister’s shoulder, walked past her, and sat down on the sofa.
“No, why are you so calm! We make 175 yuan per sale! Do you know how many we’ve sold just now?”
“31 units! In such a short time, we’ve already earned 5425 yuan! Pure profit! Understand pure profit!”
“Ah? That much?”
Hearing Jiang Bing’s words, Xu Li’s eyes lit up, as if she saw lots of money.
She knew the profit-sharing model for this project, with her husband getting 80%.
Meaning, in just one day, her husband had already earned over 4000 yuan?
No, it wasn’t a whole day.
From what Third Sister said, it was just a short while!
Jiang Bing excitedly grabbed Xu Li’s hand and said,
“Yes! Second Sister-in-law, just wait to get your share of the money!”
“When this project is done, you’ll definitely be a millionaire!”
“Uh…”
Xu Li really wanted to say she already was, but she held back.
Her husband had told her not to flaunt her wealth and not to show off!
“I’m going to work! I’m not chatting with you all anymore! Little money, here I come~”
After reporting the good news, Jiang Bing rushed back to her room in a flurry.
“My husband is truly far-sighted! Honey, you’re amazing!”
Xu Li leaned close to Jiang Tao, clinging to him, looking at him with adoration, as if he were her idol.
“Where am I amazing?”
Old Jiang wrapped his arm around Xu Li’s tiny waist, which had an exaggerated hip-to-waist ratio, a slightly mischievous smile on his face.
“Everywhere~”
Xu Li pinched his waist, accompanying it with a flirtatious eye-roll.
The family of three stayed in the living room until almost 10 o’clock.
Xu Li took Jiang Xue to wash up.
Jiang Tao sat alone on the sofa, scrolling through his Moments, and quietly deleted the anti-fraud promotion posts he had made ten times that day.
The objective had been achieved, so there was no need to keep them.
Being asked by over a dozen people if he worked at the anti-fraud center or if he was committing fraud was quite embarrassing.
After quietly deleting his Moments posts, Jiang Tao’s mind stirred, and he opened the System Interface.
He re-examined the intelligence related to the bull market that had just refreshed today.
Even the most brilliant economic experts would not dare to assert that the price of beef cattle would definitely rise a month from now.
Farmers, after several years of low prices, had long lost their confidence.
Many large-scale cattle farmers had liquidated their stock in recent years.
Of course, there were also many who, like Jiang Tao, wanted to buy at the bottom while prices were low.
However, the situation for most investors was not optimistic.
Buying at the bottom and then quickly realizing value is what’s called buying the dip.
If you buy at the bottom and are still at the bottom after one or two years, that’s called being left holding the bag.
With the precise intelligence provided by System Brother, Jiang Tao had absolute confidence in buying the bull market dip, but others might not think so.
When he invited his father-in-law to cooperate this afternoon, Jiang Tao felt that his interest wasn’t very high.
He probably lacked confidence in the project and feared becoming the next person left holding the bag.
Before today, Jiang Tao had no knowledge of the bull market at all.
He had only done a quick online search as a last-minute effort before trying to persuade people.
The third sister was easy to persuade, as she listened to his every word.
However, when facing an old fox like his father-in-law, it wasn’t so easy to fool him.
He didn’t necessarily need his father-in-law to make money; he just couldn’t bear to lose his 1x system rebate!
Losing one partner meant losing over 2 million yuan!
He had to “drag” his father-in-law into this!
【Detected that the host encountered difficulties in persuading partners. Do you want to spend 1000 yuan to reduce the task difficulty?】
Suddenly, a bright blue system interface appeared with futuristic text.
“Spend 1000 yuan to reduce the difficulty?”
Seeing the system prompt that suddenly appeared before him, Jiang Tao became interested.
1000 yuan wasn’t a large sum for him now; it was worth a try!
【Yes!】
Jiang Tao willed it and chose “Yes.”
【Payment successful. Generating investment feasibility report, please wait…】
Vvvvv~
Jiang Tao’s mobile phone vibrated. He saw an ICBC deduction notification showing that 1000 yuan had been debited.
【Investment feasibility report generated and printed! Can be retrieved in an environment where no one else is observing.】
Jiang Tao looked around, seeing no one, but to be safe, he opened the door and entered the small storage room.
He entered and locked the door.
Jiang Tao willed it, summoning the system interface, and found a 【Warehouse】 option had been added.
Upon selecting the warehouse, the system interface transformed into a grid similar to an inventory in an online game.
In the first slot, there was a stack of papers resembling A4 sheets.
Jiang Tao raised his arm and directly reached into the system interface, pulling out a stack of about 20-plus A4 papers.
“This is a bit too sci-fi.”
“System Brother, why didn’t you tell me you had this ability earlier? You wasted two pounds of my saliva.”
Jiang Tao grumbled at System Brother before looking at the documents in his hand.
The first page read “Recent Investment Feasibility Report for Beef Cattle.”
This report, densely written across 23 A4 pages, was comparable to a university thesis.
The report detailed numerous professional data and analysis reports.
The final conclusion was – high feasibility.
“With this professional-looking report, it will be more convincing.”
After briefly flipping through the documents, Jiang Tao put them away.
This was for others to see, to enhance their investment confidence.
Jiang Tao was already very confident, so whether he looked at it or not didn’t matter.
He returned to the living room sofa and browsed his Moments again.
Only after Xu Li and Jiang Xue finished showering did Jiang Tao go to rinse off.
Xu Li’s period had coincidentally arrived tonight, making it inconvenient for her to participate.
In the end, he only verbally praised Xiao Jiang before going to bed.
Jiang Tao persisted until midnight for the intelligence to refresh.
【Today’s Intelligence 01】:
When you went to the police station with Xu Li’s parents yesterday to report a case, you saw a wanted poster on the police station’s notice board and obtained related intelligence—
Liu Hongwei, the murderer from Mang Village, was homesick and returned to his parents’ home in the same village at 22:13 last night. A reward of 100,000 yuan is offered for his capture.
Criminal’s departure countdown: 04:03:01.
【Note 1】: Liu Hongwei cruelly murdered his neighbor following a verbal dispute; his actions were extremely vile.
Assisting the Public Security Bureau in bringing him to justice will be rewarded with an additional system reward equal to the bounty.
…
“Wanted criminal? And a murderer!”
Upon seeing the first piece of intelligence refreshed, Jiang Tao’s spirits lifted.
He recalled that when he accompanied his mother-in-law to the police station to report a case during the day, he had casually glanced at the wanted posters on the notice board.
The reward amounts on wanted posters range from 10,000 to 100,000, depending on the severity of the crimes committed by the criminal.
This 100,000 reward involves a murder case, which can be considered a major one.
Furthermore, seeing the remarks below the intelligence, Jiang Tao felt even less psychological burden about reporting Liu Hongwei.
It’s not that he had an overflowing sense of justice, but rather that System Brother was offering more money!
200,000 for a phone call, who could refuse that?
There are still more than 4 hours until the criminal leaves, so there’s no need to rush.
Jiang Tao first opened the second piece of intelligence for today to check.
【 Today’s Intelligence 02】:
You had contact with your sister Jiang Bing yesterday, and obtained relevant intelligence—
Jiang Bing has been rewarding herself too frequently recently, showing signs of kidney deficiency.
Timely replenishment of nutrients will help her recover her health.
…
“That third sibling of ours…”
Seeing the second piece of intelligence for today, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and helplessness.
He truly didn’t expect that his third sibling had such hobbies.
However, how should he, as an older brother, remind her?
That would lead to immediate social death.
Forget it, there’s no need for a deliberate reminder about this.
Tomorrow, let Xu Li prepare more things that benefit the kidneys, and he can replenish himself too.
Jiang Tao had also suffered quite a loss during the few days he was home for the Spring Festival.
While Xu Li is having her period, it’s time to replenish the ammunition depot.
After reading both pieces of intelligence, Jiang Tao carefully withdrew one of his arms from under Xu Li’s head, put on his pajamas, and went out.
The criminal mentioned in the first piece of intelligence would only stay home for 4 hours, so he wouldn’t wait until tomorrow morning.
Arriving at the bathroom in the courtyard, Jiang Tao turned on the light and lit a cigarette.
He first thought about how to phrase what he was about to say.
After smoking nearly half a cigarette, he then dialed 110 on his mobile phone.
Ring ring ring—
“Hello, this is the Ping County 110 dispatch center, how can I help you?”
Even though it was past midnight, the dispatch center answered the phone call very quickly.
“Hello, please tell me, if I provide a clue about a criminal on a wanted poster, can I get a reward?”
“Can I report anonymously?”
“Okay, then I’ll report anonymously.”
“I saw the wanted criminal Liu Hongwei from Mang Village returned home last night, you should hurry and organize an arrest.”
