Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 190 - 131: Boosting Jiang Yi’s Favorability! (Triple Combo)
"No need, Teacher Jiang, it didn’t cost much, let’s not be so formal between us."
"In the future, we’ll have to rely on you more for Xiao Xue."
"No way, fair is fair. I’m already grateful that you helped me buy medicine; I can’t let you pay more."
"Really, you don’t have to be so polite, Teacher Jiang. By the way, I have something to do this morning, where are my Eight Treasure Pickles?"
"In the fridge, you can get it yourself. I’ll just grab my phone."
As Jiang Yi spoke, she tiptoed into her bedroom.
Jiang Tao strode to the kitchen, opened the fridge, grabbed the Eight Treasure Pickles, told Jiang Yi he was leaving, and actually walked out the door.
Ding Dong!
When the elevator door opened on the first floor, Jiang Tao also received a 500 yuan transfer on WeChat from Jiang Yi.
Looks like she transferred the money for the fruits as well.
But Jiang Tao just looked at it and didn’t accept the payment.
Let it automatically return tomorrow!
Today, he bought fruit and medicine for Jiang Yi, not because he coveted her beauty.
Firstly, having known each other for years, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing when he saw Jiang Yi injured.
Secondly, Jiang Tao also wanted to use this opportunity to score some brownie points with Jiang Yi.
He was also laying the groundwork for buying her Eight Treasure Pickle Secret Recipe in the future.
Upstairs inside the apartment. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Jiang Yi sat on the sofa in the living room with her phone in her hand.
Looking at the shopping bag with the medicine on the coffee table, she felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
This feeling of being cared for, she hadn’t experienced it since her parents passed away.
Of course, those indifferent pursuers’ empty concerns don’t count.
Seeing that Jiang Tao didn’t accept her transfer, Jiang Yi didn’t press any further.
She quietly remembered this favor from Jiang Tao in her heart.
After going downstairs, Jiang Tao headed straight to where his car was parked.
Back in the car, he didn’t rush to drive off.
First, he focused his mind and opened the third piece of information that refreshed today about the fund Jiang Yi held, carefully comparing it.
"Jinxin Quantitative Selection Hybrid A/C Fund..."
Soon, Jiang Tao found the name of the fund on Zhifubao.
As a financial novice, Jiang Tao didn’t know where to open an account or where to buy funds offline.
Buying on Zhifubao might incur a bit more in fees, but it’s convenient and quick.
Jiang Tao had previously experienced fund-type financial products on Zhifubao because of a financial red packet worth over 20 yuan.
That time he bought 200 yuan in a fund and let it sit in his balance, hardly doing anything with it.
Due to his meager principal, the fund’s ups and downs were mostly just a few cents to a few yuan.
It couldn’t earn him much money, nor could it cost him much.
After a year of ups and downs, he didn’t even earn a pack of cigarettes’ worth, purely a matter of atmosphere.
"102% growth over the past year, net value 2.15066..."
Jiang Tao’s limited financial knowledge actually didn’t understand the meaning behind these figures.
But he had absolute confidence in the information provided by Brother Tongzi.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Tao decided to trust Brother Tongzi!
He clicked "Buy" and directly entered 2 million.
The ICBC savings card prompted a successful deduction, and the purchase was successful.
However, it would take two more days to confirm the specific shares.
"Done!"
Last time, he bought a 200 yuan fund for a 20 yuan financial red packet.
This time, it jumped straight to 2 million.
Even though he knew the information from Brother Tongzi made this a safe bet,
He couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous!
"Once this wave is over, I must treat Jiang Yi to a meal to express my gratitude."
"Also, when it’s time to sell, I’ll remind her as well!"
After buying the fund, Jiang Tao glanced at the box of Eight Treasure Pickles he had casually placed on the center console.
He picked up the box, opened the lid, and directly used two fingers to pinch a small piece of cucumber into his mouth.
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
The crunchy pickled cucumber was fresh, fragrant, and delicious, really tasting quite good!
Jiang Tao had tried many Eight Treasure Pickles and salted vegetables, but it was his first time tasting one this good!
No wonder Brother Tongzi would comment on the high commercial value of Jiang Yi’s secret recipe!
As expected from a family heirloom, it really had something special.
Later, to have a more comprehensive understanding of this Eight Treasure Pickles product,
Jiang Tao spent the morning driving to four supermarkets.
He bought eight different brands of Eight Treasure Pickles again.
Some were bagged, some were sold in bulk.
At noon, Jiang Tao returned to his small rented room in Xiaoshanhe with a packed lunch and nine boxes of Eight Treasure Pickles.
He lined up all nine types of Eight Treasure Pickles and began his taste test.
The taste...
The eight types of Eight Treasure Pickles he purchased later were mostly the same in flavor, without too much difference.
But compared to the one Jiang Yi made herself, the difference was quite obvious.
Jiang Yi’s Eight Treasure Pickles had a much fresher taste.
While preserving the texture, it didn’t have the heavy sauce flavor of other Eight Treasure Pickles.
"I’m genuinely curious about what kind of taste will result from using Jiang Yi’s skills with my pickle vat to make Eight Treasure Pickles."
After tasting the different brands of Eight Treasure Pickles, Jiang Tao had even more confidence in Jiang Yi’s secret family recipe.
The supermarket-bought Eight Treasure Pickles sold for around 9 yuan for the cheap ones and up to 15 yuan for the expensive ones.
Using Jiang Yi’s recipe to pickle Eight Treasure Pickles, selling for 15 yuan per pound shouldn’t be hard.
On that basis, with the addition from the pickle vat,
Theoretically, selling for 30 yuan per pound might not be too expensive, right?
A vat can pickle 500 pounds of Eight Treasure Pickles, generating a revenue of 15,000 yuan.
