The Real Way to Cultivate in the City-Chapter 70: Grandpa Delivers Money, Mr. Hua Starts a Business!
"Hello, may I speak with Mr. Lin Hao?"
"This is he."
"There’s a package, I need you to pick it up. I’m now at the entrance of the City Management Team in Ke Chen City."
What package?
Early morning delivery?
Is it the black stockings I bought last night...
...
Lin Hao occasionally shops online, mostly buying some "best-selling items" on the internet.
He wants to see if these popular items can have any enhancement judged by the log....
The main idea is to try and see if he can get some "products" similar to the [Rejuvenation Pill].
These "products" must meet the following two criteria:
First, they can be sold daily to ordinary people to make money!
Second, they won’t attract the attention of the Extraordinary Realm, and won’t be regarded by the Extraordinary as strategic resources that need excessive attention.
Especially need to meet the second point.
But during Lin Hao’s shopping spree, the majority of items are just deemed mundane.
For those recognized as mundane items, Lin Hao didn’t even bother to unpack them; he directly gave them away.
But occasionally, there would be items that seem somewhat useful, such as——
[Social Phobia Robe] which reduces awkward conversations with unfamiliar people and half-acquaintances...
[Hemorrhoid Recovery Cushion] that can treat hemorrhoids for blue-collar workers who sit too long...
[Thumb Brace] that can cure tendonitis...
[Traditional Funeral Attire], which brings fortune and longevity to the living home, and possesses certain soul-recalling effects when worn by the deceased...
However, these require magical power and can’t be sold.
They are somewhat useful but not much, sort of like a white elephant.
Until now, the only thing Lin Hao managed to get that ordinary people can use directly is...
Black stockings.
Various styles of black stockings, possessing all kinds of different effects...
Including but not limited to concealing, shaping, sun protection, etc.
There are even ones printed with math question patterns that can enhance the user’s comprehension of counting.
No magical power needed, can be used directly.
This seems to be the most reliable product, but Lin Hao has had this "supply" for some time now and still doesn’t know how to sell it.
No sales channel...
The plan to sell black stockings has been put on hold.
And last night, after Lin Hao opened up to borrow money, he decided to revive the "sell black stockings plan".
In passing, he ordered a few more new popular black stockings.
Just didn’t expect the delivery to be so speedy...
Considering this, Lin Hao headed out.
From afar, Lin Hao’s Divine Thought scanned a delivery truck.
Inside.
Not the black stockings...
All money.
A truck full.
His "loan" has arrived.
After Lin Hao reached the entrance of the City Management Team, a rather efficient and taciturn middle-aged man got off the driver’s seat of the truck.
After confirming Lin Hao’s identity, the middle-aged man took a piece of "IOU" from his pocket.
"Mr. Lin Hao, Elder Hua asks if you could please sign this ’IOU’."
Lin Hao took it and looked——
"’IOU’
Today Lin Hao borrows one hundred million from Hua Busi, the method of receipt is in cash.
Interest: None.
Repayment date: Tomorrow."
All the content is already printed.
No interest on the loan, not a penny taking from the principal amount of one hundred million.
If this one hundred million is placed in the bank to earn interest, every day it would be no small income.
And the repayment date is written as "tomorrow"!
Isn’t that...
The meaning of not having to return it?
Tomorrow and tomorrow again...
Today’s tomorrow is tomorrow, tomorrow’s tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow’s tomorrow...
Borrowing money like this, not only owes money, but also owes a huge personal favor!
This won’t do...
Lin Hao directly called Mr. Hua Busi.
Beep beep beep.
"Master, is the money delivered?"
"Old man, how do you have the nerve with this ’IOU’, I am currently indeed limited in capability, but to give me..."
"Master, you are my master, when you taught me Swordsmanship, you held nothing back! Swordsmanship is the foundation of our Hua Family! Money, it is just worldly possessions, cannot be taken with you in life or death!"
"This..."
"Master, you’re not the kind of person to be pretentious. Let’s just write the IOU like this. It’s settled. How you want me to repay it, that’s up to you."
After pondering for a while, Lin Hao said seriously:
"Alright! I, no, I will remember the kindness of your Hua family."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao signed the "IOU" and handed it back to the driver.
He asked the driver to park the car in a nearby secluded spot and then leave first.
Opening the car door alone, he looked at the truck full of money, slowly stretched out his hand, and pressed it onto the money.
[As the Sect Master of Ke Chen City Happy Milk Tea Limited Sect, Lin Hao received the offering of "ten high-grade Spirit Stones" from the novice disciple Hua Busi, who exhausted all his family assets, earnestly requesting Lin Hao to protect his family]
Looking at the log’s judgement, Lin Hao took a deep breath. Hua Busi really had no intention of asking for the money back.
It’s a gift!
Not a loan!
This is such great trust...
Regarding Hua family matters, he would help whenever he could!
While Lin Hao was pondering, the money in the car began to twist and dissipate. Like specks of stardust, they gathered in Lin Hao’s palm, condensing into ten high-grade Spirit Stones brimming with dense Spiritual Qi.
He opened his storage bag, which resembled a supermarket shopping bag, and placed the high-grade Spirit Stones inside. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
After waiting inside the cargo box for more than ten minutes, Lin Hao called the driver to drive back.
The driver was very professional, never questioning where exactly the over a ton of money, accounting for over a billion, went after being gone for ten minutes.
...
Just as Lin Hao was taking a taxi to the Ke Chen City stray dog shelter to deliver Spirit Stones to his incarnation, he received a call from Mr. Hua.
"Brother, my family ran into some trouble, the funds are really tight.
The villa we used to frequent has changed hands last night. It’s no longer ours, so we probably can’t enjoy art there as often as we used to..."
Initially, Mr. Hua sounded a bit forlorn, but at the end, he added:
"Yeah, and brother, from now on I might not be able to ask you to help my...friend buy those Xiong Lan’s Small Pills. I thought I’d let you know in advance."
Lin Hao immediately understood what was going on, and while feeling a bit touched, he found it more amusing...
Even in such a tight situation, Mr. Hua still remembered to give his "friend" a heads-up. He truly was a man of loyalty!
Lin Hao responded:
"No worries, no worries, we’re brothers, after all. I have plenty of Xiong Lan’s Small Pills here! If your friend needs them, you’re welcome to take them anytime."
"You’re truly my good brother! I knew I wasn’t wrong about you! Rest assured, every bottle I take, I’ll make note of it. Once I start from scratch and successfully rebuild my business empire, Mr. Hua will restore the glory of the Hua family! Then I’ll repay the money for my friend!"
"You’re planning to start a business?"
"Yeah, starting a business! My family is already like this, I need to step up. Even though I may seem idle all day, doing nothing proper, just drinking and having fun...
But I do, I do, I do...aside from swordsmanship, there doesn’t seem to be much else. But no matter, I will learn! I definitely can rise up.
I’ll say goodbye to the once extravagant, pleasure-seeking lifestyle!"
Mr. Hua was filled with hope for the future, radiating with energy.
"Do you know anything about the market for black stockings?" Lin Hao asked suddenly.
Mr. Hua was taken aback for a moment, and after a brief silence on the other end of the phone, he said:
"My...friend, he knows a bit about the quality, style, usage, and maintenance of black stockings, and some of his friends have demand too. But I’m not very clear about the specific market environment, why do you ask?"
"I have some pretty good quality black stockings in hand and want to explore the market, not sure how to go about it."
"How good is the quality?"
"Top of the industry!"
"Do you have the ones with letters, fishnets, floral vine patterns, butterflies, roses, with diamonds, and hearts?"
"Have them all."
Just having decided to move away from the extravagant lifestyle, Mr. Hua remembered his friends who, like him once, were idle, doing nothing proper, just drinking and having fun, always spending money...
Why couldn’t he be the one to earn the money they spend?
He needed to broaden his horizons!
After a second’s hesitation, Mr. Hua said:
"I could substitute for my friend to take a look. This stuff should sell pretty well, and in my friend’s circle, it should move!"
...
While Lin Hao was in a taxi going to the Ke Chen City stray dog shelter, discussing the entrepreneurship with Mr. Hua on the phone, this morning at the Ke Chen City Civil Affairs Bureau...
As soon as the door opened, it was packed with people outside.
Clamoring and even cursing at each other...
This scene, based on the staff’s experience, meant they were here for divorce.
There’s such a crowd...
Is today some special day for divorce?
No, only marriages have ’good days’, divorce doesn’t have a ’good day’.
The staff wondered if he was seeing things or if he opened the door the wrong way.
He closed the door and opened it again...
There were even more people!
"Divorce! I’m not a Minotaur! I can’t tolerate you!"
"Divorce if you want!"
"..."
So many people, it might get chaotic. Better make a call for backup to maintain order first.
"Arrest, arrest, arrest..."
