Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 210 - 137: Intelligence with a 10,000% Super High Return! (3-in-1)
What a coincidence, it really is the director of Eddy Kindergarten.
"Forget it, this kind of thing is their family matter, I’m just an outsider, so I won’t get involved."
Jiang Tao and Qi Dongqiang only met once yesterday, and they’re not familiar with each other.
Stuff like this, where you put in effort but don’t get thanked, Jiang Tao can’t be bothered either, so he simply chooses to ignore this piece of intel.
With that thought, he moves on to the third item.
[Today’s Intel 03]:
Yesterday, Du Enan gave your daughter Jiang Xue a Jellycat Bonnie Rabbit, and inside its tummy there’s a Lucky Star mark placed by Jellycat’s parent company.
If you contact Jellycat’s parent company with this Lucky Star, you’ll get the entire series of Jellycat characters—worth 530,000 yuan (including retired/discontinued ones)!
...
"The entire Jellycat series..."
Seeing today’s third intel, Jiang Tao can’t help but breathe a bit faster.
Before today—no, to be strict, before last night when Du Enan gave Jiang Xue that Jellycat Bonnie Rabbit—
Jiang Tao knew absolutely nothing about this brand of plush toys.
He hadn’t even heard of it before.
Only after seeing that the Bonnie Rabbit actually cost over a thousand yuan did he get curious and look up info about that brand.
He never expected, but after checking, he found out this thing actually sells better than Disney plush toys!
The customer age range is even more crazy: "all ages."
In other words, Jellycat plushies are loved not just by kids—adults like them too!
The prices range anywhere from a couple hundred to several thousand—a true Hermes of the plush world.
And, as far as Jiang Tao knows, Jellycat has nearly a thousand different characters.
The character designs include animals, vegetables, fruits, food, stationery, sports equipment, and flowers and plants, etc.
The brand launches over 250 new products annually, making sure the designs meet all kinds of people’s needs.
Some of the famous "Jellycat Universe members" include Bonnie Rabbit, Barcelona Bear, Lively Eggplant, Double Leaf Peach, Peanut Penguin, Coffee Cup...
Each plush has its own army of devoted fans.
The brand’s "retirement policy" is really unique too.
When a plush has been on the market long enough, it’s discontinued and no longer produced.
Because of this rule, the ones that are retired sell for double—or more—on the secondhand market.
Plushies that originally cost a few hundred can go for over a thousand secondhand!
This just shows how much users love these plush toys.
If someone could collect every member of the "Jellycat Universe," they’d absolutely be the star among fans!
"Well, that’s settled, Jellycat’s basically going to take care of all of Xiao Xue’s future toys."
Thinking back to the joy on his daughter’s face when she got the Bonnie Rabbit last night, if he could get her the whole set, she’d definitely be even happier!
"Now how should we thank Du Enan? She really gave our Xiao Xue a huge present this time."
Jiang Tao pictures the look on Du Enan’s face when she hears this news—she’ll surely be just as surprised!
"Tomorrow I’ll pickle the Eight Treasure Pickles first, then find time to check with Jiang Yi, and finally deal with the Bonnie Rabbit intel."
He roughly planned out tomorrow’s schedule in his head, then rolled over and hugged Xu Li’s waist, ready for sleep!
The night passed quietly.
Early the next morning, after having breakfast at home with his parents, Jiang Tao headed downstairs with them.
The three of them first drove over to their rental apartment in Xiaoshanhe to put the Eight Treasure Pickles—already soaked and ready—into the Delicious Pickle Jar.
Then, they poured in the cooled brine.
Once finished, Jiang Tao dropped his parents off at the entrance to the veggie market beside the neighborhood.
Early mornings, the main crowd at the market are all retired old men and women, very few young people.
Jiang Tao found an empty spot to park, then got out and went into the market with his parents, arriving at the booth they’d just rented.
This booth used to sell pastries, a little renovation and it could be ready for selling pickled veggies.
Around nine in the morning.
The small renovation contractor Old Lü recommended arrived at the market, looking for Jiang Tao and family.
This boss’s name is Zhao Hu Hu, in his forties, and he’s been taking on renovation gigs in Beijing for years.
He’s the boss, the salesman, and the actual worker all rolled into one.
His staff only includes his wife and his brother-in-law—the three of them make up the whole team.
For simple reno jobs like Jiang Tao’s little shop, they can finish in just two days.
After some discussion, they settled on a price—4,500 yuan including labor and materials—and handed Zhao Hu Hu the shop renovation job.
Work could begin as soon as tomorrow. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
They confirmed the agreement and signed a simple contract.
Zhao Hu Hu drove off to hurriedly finish a job at another customer’s place.
Jiang Tao made up an excuse that he had some other matters to handle and drove away from Bai Gezhuang Market, heading for Longze Garden.
"What should I give Third Brother this time..."
"Oh, right, I still haven’t given the pillow and quilt yet!"
As he drove, Jiang Tao was frantically searching his brain for more reasons to drop by.
Then, at a bedding store near the neighborhood, he bought a pillow and a quilt.
When he opened WeChat to pay, Jiang Tao saw that Jiang Yi had just posted an update in her Moments.
He clicked through and saw it was a "Shuidichou" fundraising link.
Upon opening it, Jiang Tao saw the person seeking help—it was Jiang Yi’s older brother, Jiang Hai.
The fundraising message said Jiang Hai’s daughter, Jiang An’an, had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant.
The surgery still needed 200,000 yuan, about 50,000 had already been raised, so 150,000 left to go.
Jiang Tao remembered the first intel from last night mentioning this, saying they were short 400,000?
Probably Jiang Yi’s family managed to raise 200,000 on their own,
