Chapter 137: Earning 4.48 Million Daily!
The Capital City.
In the hallway of the pediatrics department’s hematology ward at the children’s hospital.
Ring, ring, ring——
Seeing the unfamiliar number on the incoming call display, Jiang Hai felt an immediate sense of powerlessness.
He swiped to end the call and blocked the number.
This was already the eighth collection call he had received today.
Over the years, to treat his daughter’s illness, he had already spent all his savings.
He had also borrowed over 50,000 yuan in online loans from several loan platforms.
Previously, he could still manage by shuffling money around.
After less than a year of borrowing from different sources, the deficit grew larger, and this month it completely collapsed.
He had only used 50,000 yuan in total, and now he needed to repay over 70,000 yuan.
Let alone the 70,000 yuan in principal and interest, he couldn’t even repay the 50,000 yuan principal anymore, so he decided to just give up.
All he wanted now was to raise money to save his daughter; he didn’t care if he became a defaulter!
In order to raise as much money as possible for his daughter.
He even considered finding a luxury car on the street and getting hit by it, then extorting forty to fifty thousand yuan.
But his inner morals and conscience made him abandon this plan.
Ring, ring, ring——
Less than 5 minutes after hanging up, a new unfamiliar number called.
Facing the daily bombardment of calls from debt collectors, Jiang Hai wanted to turn off his phone, but he was afraid of missing important calls from the doctor or Shuidichou.
After letting out a long sigh and hanging up again, Jiang Hai crouched down, looking exhausted.
He forcefully pulled at his greasy, messy hair with both hands to stay awake and rational.
He constantly reminded himself that his daughter needed him now, and he must not act impulsively or do anything foolish.
Ring, ring, ring——
The incessant ringing of the phone made the tension in Jiang Hai’s heart completely collapse.
Mechanically, he took out his phone, about to hang up, when his gaze caught sight of his sister’s name.
Seeing his sister’s name, Jiang Hai’s expression softened considerably.
He took a deep breath and tidied up his emotions.
Jiang Hai then swiped to answer the call.
“Hello, Xiao Yi, what’s up?”
“Brother, a friend just lent me 200,000 yuan for an emergency.”
Upon hearing Jiang Yi’s words, Jiang Hai’s expression instantly became a bit stunned.
Jiang Yi, on the other end of the phone, continued:
“I’ve already transferred the money to your card. Hurry and contact the attending physician to arrange surgery for An An.”
“We finally found a match, don’t miss this opportunity.”
“I’m on my way to the hospital now, and I should be there in about half an hour.”
“Transferred, transferred to my card?”
Hearing his sister’s last sentence, the stunned expression on Jiang Hai’s face turned to panic, and he thought to himself, “This is bad!”
As expected, when he opened his banking app on WeChat to check his phone balance, it had already been deducted by over 70,000 yuan by several loan platforms.
At that moment, Jiang Hai felt an ache in his heart.
“What’s wrong, brother?”
“Oh, nothing, nothing. Xiao Yi, what kind of friend lent you so much money?”
Jiang Hai was delighted to hear that his sister had borrowed 200,000 yuan, but he also felt a hint of worry.
He was afraid his sister had borrowed online loans like him, or…
Jiang Hai shook his head; he knew what kind of person his sister was.
His sister was definitely not that kind of person.
“It’s a former student of mine, and now the student’s parent.”
“He saw the Shuidichou I posted on Moments and approached me proactively…”
Jiang Yi recounted the entire process of Jiang Tao lending her money to her elder brother.
When Jiang Hai heard that Jiang Tao lent his sister 200,000 yuan without even asking for interest, he felt another wave of gratitude, saying he had met a good person this time.
Less than 20 minutes after the siblings ended their call, Jiang Yi arrived at the hospital.
Fortunately, besides the online loans deducted, the remaining money on Jiang Hai’s phone was enough to cover the surgical fee.
…
“Who knows where we should go~”
“Who understands what life has become.”
“Should we find an excuse to keep living like this~”
“Or spread our wings and remain furious.”
The high-pitched singing from the Mercedes-Benz GLS car stereo.
Jiang Tao nodded his head to the rhythm of the song while driving.
Of the three pieces of intelligence triggered last night, two were high-value, and only one was green, so he was naturally in a good mood.
Although he didn’t know when the 200,000 yuan lent to Jiang Yi would trigger the 10,000% multiplier return.
But at least there was that hope, which could be considered a long-term investment.
After lending the money and leaving Jiang Yi’s home, he first drove to Panjiayuan to check in.
Then he went to Financial Street and visited several stock exchanges in the Capital City.
He also browsed a few lottery shops along the street.
What he needed to do every day now was to frequent places related to making money as much as possible.
As long as he triggered one valuable piece of intelligence, the day wouldn’t be in vain.
Ring, ring——
The car phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Tao glanced at the center console screen and saw it was Du Ennan calling.
He immediately felt a sense of good things coming his way.
Could it be that there was progress with the Mercedes-Benz?
“Hello, Ennan.”
After answering the phone, Jiang Tao greeted Du Ennan on the other end with a smile.
“Jiang Tao, do you have time to come to our mall?”
Du Ennan’s voice came through the car stereo, sounding rich and textured.
“Yes, but I’m in Chaoyang right now, so it will take about half an hour to get there.”
“Okay, no problem. I’ll be waiting for you in my office. Come straight to my office when you arrive.”
“Can you tell me what it’s about?”
“Hehe, you’ll know when you get here. It’s good news. Goodbye.”
Du Ennan smiled, playing coy, and hung up before Jiang Tao could ask further.
“Good news? Is Du Ennan’s efficiency that high?”
Jiang Tao muttered softly while driving and then instructed the Mercedes’ voice assistant to navigate to Wanxiang Hui.
11:48 AM.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS drove into the B2 parking lot of Wanxiang Hui.
Jiang Tao first took the elevator back to the first floor.
Then, led by a staff member, he took the internal office elevator directly to the eighth floor.
“Mr. Jiang, General Manager Du is waiting for you inside.”
After leading Jiang Tao to Du Ennan’s office door, the staff member told him this and turned to leave.
Knock, knock, knock——
Jiang Tao raised his hand and knocked on the door. Hearing Du Ennan’s voice from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.
“Jiang Tao, you’re here.”
Du Ennan, seeing Jiang Tao enter, stood up with a smile to greet him.
The two, who had only met in passing on the subway, had now become very good friends. Fate is sometimes so magical.
“Ennan, what good news did you call me over for? I’ve been looking forward to it all the way.”
After greeting Du Ennan with a smile, Jiang Tao walked unceremoniously to the reception sofa in the office and sat down.
Jiang Yi came out from behind the desk, sat on the sofa opposite Jiang Tao, and said with a smile:
“This morning, our company’s purchasing and legal departments went to the Huiron Mercedes-Benz 4S center in Chaoyang.”
“To lodge a formal protest regarding the problematic Mercedes-Benz GLS we purchased.”
“They agreed to a return and triple compensation, and the funds have already been credited to our company’s account.”
Du Ennan looked at Jiang Tao with a smile, her expression filled with triumph.
“So quickly!”
Although he had already guessed what it was about, Jiang Tao still played along, feigning surprise.
He had originally thought this matter would drag on for some time, but he didn’t expect them to back down so quickly!
The Mercedes-Benz GLS cost over a million yuan to land, and a return with triple compensation would mean about 4 million yuan in compensation!
From last night when he told Du Ennan about it, to now, she had resolved the issue.
At most, it had only been half a day!
As he thought about it, Jiang Tao suddenly felt enlightened.
In the end, his perspective was too limited, and poverty restricted his imagination.
For him, 4 million yuan might be a lot, a huge sum.
But for some wealthy people and certain companies.
Over 4 million yuan might not be considered a large amount of money.
“Hehe, our company’s legal department isn’t for show.”
“Cheating us at Wanxiang Hui is intolerable.”
“Moreover, my father has spoken on this matter. If Huiron doesn’t know what’s good for them, the consequences will be 10 times worse than they are now.”
“It’s good that they were sensible today.”
“Amazing, amazing~”
Jiang Tao chuckled and gave Du Ennan a thumbs-up, praising her:
“If ordinary people like us encountered such a situation, who knows how long it would take to sort out.”
“We’d probably have to drive the car to their 4S shop, stand on the roof, and protest with banners.”
After briefly explaining how the matter was handled, Du Ennan got straight to the point and said:
“I called you here to tell you that the car needs to be returned to Huiron.”
“Also, here is an agreement. Please sign it.”
As Du Ennan spoke, she picked up two agreements that had been placed on the coffee table beforehand and handed them to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao skimmed through the agreements at lightning speed and looked at Du Ennan with surprise.
“Ennan, this agreement…”
Du Ennan smiled and said:
“This is all rightfully yours. I’ve already given you the car, you discovered the problem, and you retained the crucial evidence.”
“Therefore, it’s only right that you receive the compensation of return and triple penalty.”
Jiang Tao chuckled and teased, “How about we split it fifty-fifty?”
“Are you really willing to give me half of the meat you’ve already got?”
Du Ennan laughed upon hearing Jiang Tao’s suggestion.
Jiang Tao: “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”
Du Ennan: “Of course, I want to hear the truth.”
Jiang Tao: “The truth is, I’m not willing.”
“Then why did you say you’d split it fifty-fifty with me?”
“I was just being polite. Actually, I’m still a bit worried. If you agree, I’ll regret it for years.”
“Hahaha… Jiang Tao, you… haha… Someone as honest as you is truly rare.”
Du Ennan was amused by Jiang Tao’s words and burst into laughter.
His frank and unpretentious personality, saying what he thought, greatly appealed to Du Ennan.
After laughing, Du Ennan waved her hand and urged, “Okay, stop joking. Hurry up and sign.”
“Are you really giving it to me?”
Jiang Tao smiled and confirmed with Du Ennan one last time.
After all, 4.48 million yuan felt like it fell from the sky, it came too easily!
Even winning the first prize in a Double Color Ball lottery wouldn’t yield this much after taxes.
“If you keep babbling, I might really reconsider.”
Du Ennan chuckled lightly and reached for the agreement on Jiang Tao’s side.
Jiang Tao quickly snatched the agreement away.
“Haha, then I won’t be polite and will accept your kind intentions.”
After saying this, Jiang Tao quickly signed his name and pressed his thumbprint on the second party section of the agreement.
“Jiang Tao, will you put this money into your nest egg or tell Lili the truth?”
Du Ennan asked casually as she waited for Jiang Tao to finish signing, signing her own name at the same time.
Jiang Tao replied without thinking:
“Of course, I’ll tell Xu Li the truth. Sharing happiness doubles it.”
“I’ll also tell my parents and my daughter so they can be happy too.”
“You are a good husband, a good son, and a good father.”
Du Ennan smiled upon hearing Jiang Tao’s answer.
As she spoke, the last stroke of her name was completed with the pen in her hand.
To be honest, seeing the loving relationship between Jiang Tao and Xu Li, and their well-behaved daughter, she envied them.
If her husband were still alive…
Thinking about the father of the child in her belly, Du Ennan’s mood instantly became a bit down.
Jiang Tao misinterpreted Du Ennan’s expression and said:
“Uh, Du Ennan, if you want to go back on your word now, it’s still possible.”
“Haha, where do you see me wanting to go back on my word?”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s teasing, the cloud of sadness on Du Ennan’s face instantly dispersed, and she put on a smile again.
“You just…”
Jiang Tao pouted and mimicked Du Ennan’s previous expression.
Du Ennan gave Jiang Tao a look and said coquettishly:
“I was just thinking about something unpleasant. It has nothing to do with you, so don’t make a big deal out of it.”
Seeing Du Ennan smile, Jiang Tao also smiled: “Oh, okay then, I’m relieved.”
After both of them signed, Du Ennan called the finance department of Wanxiang Hui to the office and transferred 4.48 million yuan to Jiang Tao’s personal account on the spot.
This money was enough to fully purchase the apartment they were currently renting.
One piece of intelligence earned them a house.
The value of System Brother continues to increase!
【Your ICBC Savings Card ending in XX89 has received 4,480,000 yuan. Your current balance is 4,504,892.88 yuan! 】
Besides the 2 million yuan invested in funds the day before yesterday, and the 200,000 yuan lent to Jiang Yi today.
Jiang Tao’s savings had once again returned to the high level of over 4.5 million yuan!
Du Ennan spoke again:
“By the way, Jiang Tao, do you need a car? Our company has two idle cars.”
“An Audi A6 and a Buick GL8. If you need one, you can take one to drive for now.”
Jiang Tao joked with a smile, “Can I take both?”
Du Ennan rolled her eyes at Jiang Tao: “Dream on.”
“Haha, just a small joke, don’t mind it, don’t mind it.”
After laughing, Jiang Tao said, “I appreciate the offer, but I really don’t need it. I plan to buy one myself this time.”
Du Ennan nodded: “Alright, as you wish.”
Jiang Tao thought for a moment and asked, “By the way, Ennan, can you guys get a Capital City license plate? I don’t have the qualifications for the lottery.”
Du Ennan laughed heartily: “Go buy your car. After you buy it, I’ll sort out the license plate for you.”
“Great! With your words, I’m at ease. General Manager Du, you’re amazing. Let me know how much money you need.”
After receiving Du Ennan’s firm confirmation, Jiang Tao praised her with a smile.
Ordinary people who want to obtain a Capital City license plate can only obtain eligibility by paying social security for five consecutive years in the Capital City.
Then, they have to queue up for the lottery.
There are many unlucky people who have participated since the lottery began and still haven’t won after more than ten years.
For Jiang Tao to obtain his license plate through legitimate channels, it would take at least five years, and he couldn’t wait that long.
For big bosses like Du Ennan who manage large malls, there are many ways to obtain a Capital City license plate.
After the transfer and a chat about the license plate, Jiang Tao bid farewell to Du Ennan and took the elevator downstairs.
After going downstairs, Jiang Tao didn’t rush home.
He took the escalator on the first floor up to the second floor and went directly into the Hermès boutique.
With 4.48 million yuan received today, he wanted to buy a bag for Xu Li to celebrate.
There’s the exhilaration of making money, and the exhilaration of spending money!
Not spending the money you earn means half the joy is lost.
“Hello sir, how can I help you?”
The saleswoman, seeing Jiang Tao enter alone, was a little surprised but greeted him warmly.
“I’d like to see the bags in your store.”
Jiang Tao strode into the store, browsing the merchandise at a glance.
“Certainly, sir. If you find something you like, I can take it down for you to examine.”
The saleswoman followed Jiang Tao with a smile, appearing very patient.
“This one. Please wrap this bag.”
In less than a minute after entering, Jiang Tao had chosen his item and asked the sales associate to package it.
“Ah? Okay, okay, sir! Xiao Li, help this gentleman with this large bag. Sir, I’ll take you to checkout.”
The sales associate who assisted Jiang Tao, as if afraid he might change his mind, called for her colleague’s help while taking Jiang Tao to the cashier.
The bag cost Jiang Tao over 60,000 yuan. It was the most expensive bag he had ever bought for Xu Li, but he felt no regret.
“Sir, this is my business card. If you need anything in the future, you can call me.”
“If you can’t come to the store, we can also provide home delivery service.”
The sales associate who assisted Jiang Tao rarely encountered such a decisive customer. As she handed Jiang Tao the shopping bag, she also gave him her business card.
“You can even provide door-to-door service?”
This was the first time Jiang Tao had heard that Hermès offered home delivery. Useful knowledge had increased.
He looked at the business card in his hand and saw the sales associate’s name was Luna.
“Yes, sir. Whether it’s handbags, shoes, or clothing, we can provide door-to-door service for you to choose from.”
“Even if you don’t find anything you like and don’t buy anything after we deliver it, it’s okay.”
Luna’s smile grew brighter and more charming, clearly well-trained.
“Okay, I’ll contact you if I need anything.”
Jiang Tao casually put Luna’s business card into his pocket and left with the shopping bag.
Luna saw him off to the door and watched his figure disappear on the escalator before returning to the store to wait for her next customer.
After leaving the store, Jiang Tao took a taxi directly to Bai Ge Zhuang New Village.
“Husband~ Why are you back so early! Have you eaten?”
“Huh, what are you holding?”
Xu Li saw her husband return home early today and was full of questions. Seeing the shopping bag with the Hermès logo in his hand made her even more puzzled.
“Wife, I have good news for you! Come on, let’s go to the sofa in the living room.”
Jiang Tao closed the door casually, took Xu Li’s hand, and sat down close to her on the large sofa in the living room.
“What good news? Did you strike it rich today?”
Xu Li’s eyes lit up at this possibility, looking at Jiang Tao with a face full of joy.
“Uh… close enough.”
“What do you mean, ‘close enough’? Good husband, tell me quickly, announce the answer! I can’t wait.”
Xu Li shook Jiang Tao’s arm and said in an overly sweet tone.
Jiang Tao pointed to his right cheek and said with a smile, “Kiss me first.”
“Mwah~”
“And on the left.”
“Mwah~”
“And one in the middle as a bonus!”
Xu Li let out a soft laugh and pecked Jiang Tao on the forehead.
Jiang Tao stopped playing coy and said with a smile:
“Didn’t I tell Du Ennan last night that there was a problem with our Mercedes-Benz?”
“Mmm, and then?”
“According to legal practice, the Mercedes-Benz 4S shop engaged in illegal sales and fraud. According to legal regulations, they must return the car and pay triple compensation.”
“Ah? Return and triple compensation? You mean, our Mercedes can be returned, and we can get three times the compensation?”
Xu Li’s breathing quickened upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words.
Although she didn’t know much about cars, after her sister-in-law Jiang Bing explained, she knew their Mercedes was worth over a million yuan!
If it was returned with triple compensation, wouldn’t they earn over 4 million yuan?
In Xu Li’s mind, 4 million yuan was definitely an astronomical figure!
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that 4 million yuan was enough to live comfortably in a small county town like Ping County!
She could buy a house in the best neighborhood with cash, a car worth hundreds of thousands with cash, and still have two to three million yuan left in savings.
“Look at this.”
Jiang Tao lifted his backside and took out his phone from his pocket, opening the recent deposit message for Xu Li to see.
【Your ICBC Savings Card ending in XX89 has received 4,480,000 yuan. Your current balance is 4,504,892.88 yuan! 】
“Ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million. That’s over 4 million!!”
Xu Li looked at the long string of numbers on Jiang Tao’s phone, her emotions overwhelming her as she hugged Jiang Tao’s arm.
“Husband, our family, our family has over 5 million in savings?”
“This, is this real?”
“How come it feels like a dream!”
Looking at the long string of numbers displayed on Jiang Tao’s phone, Xu Li’s excitement lingered.
Jiang Tao’s phone showed over 4.5 million.
Xu Li still had over 500,000 yuan in savings after giving Jiang Tao 1 million to buy cattle.
Together, the couple’s savings exceeded 5 million yuan!
And this did not include the over 1 million yuan invested in the Tian Family Village cattle farm!
Last winter, she and Jiang Tao were still worrying about their 80,000 yuan external debt.
Now, 80,000 yuan was just a fraction of the couple’s savings!
“Silly wife, it’s all real, you’re not dreaming. In the future, our lives will only get better!”
Jiang Tao smiled, gently squeezed Xu Li’s smooth, fair cheek, and looked at her with doting affection.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch, let go quickly. I’m really not dreaming! Husband, our family is so lucky this year!”
Xu Li felt the clear pain on her face, confirming she wasn’t dreaming. Her expression was one of immense joy and excitement.
“Husband, do you think it’s the effect of this lucky stone?”
As she spoke, Xu Li picked up Jiang Tao’s hand and looked at the conspicuous stone on the beaded bracelet he was wearing.
Ever since Jiang Tao brought the two lucky stones home, the family had truly been blessed with good fortune and surging wealth.
“I told you the lucky stone was very effective. Do you believe it now?”
Jiang Tao was happy to attribute the success in making money to the lucky stone, as it was a good way to cover up the Daily Intelligence System.
“Mmm! I believed it long ago! I hope its magic can last for a while longer!”
Xu Li nodded with a smile. After wearing the lucky stone for so long, she had truly felt its miraculousness.
