Quick Travel: It's not easy to be a System.

Chapter 10: Volume 1 Chapter 8: Successfully trading the goods



Soon he saw an old man and a teen walking in that area while looking down as if searching for something.

Lei Feng was sure they were the owners of this bag but he still cautiously approached the old man and asked "What happened old man? Did you drop something?"

The old man was visibly shaking "Yes son, I dropped a brown bag here. It had all the money from selling the crops for this season."

"What was the color of the bag and how much did you lose?"

By this time the teen caught up and said "It was brown in color, no brand and it had 34,000 Yuan in it"

Confirming that they were the owner of this bag Lei Feng was amazed by the magic of System.

So he went to the corner where he left the bag and handed it to them.

The happiness on their faces was so bright that even Lei Feng felt emotional.

After some talking Lei Feng came to know that Old Man's name of Li Hongtie, he and his grandson run a big plantation base near this area.

After learning about his problem of not being able to buy crops, Old Man Li generously insisted on helping him.

After confirming, Lei Feng and the other two reached Old Li's base and boy it was BIG.

100 acres of lush greenery, with dozens of crops being harvested by the workers. The warehouse alone looked over 3 acres.

Lei Feng was sure he could get what he needed here.

On Old Li's recommendation Lei Feng and the other two loaded the two lorries with Fruits and Vegetables and returned with a full load with an additional 200 pounds of pork Old Li gave them for free.1

Upon reaching back to the Lotus City market area, Uncle Xu suggested Lei Feng to sell the goods to local vendors but Lei Feng said "Uncle Xu, we need to sell all this ourselves otherwise Middleman will take all the profits. I think we should park our trucks at gates of big communities and sell them ourselves. We can sell any leftovers to market vendors."

With this in mind, they divided into two teams one with Lei Feng, Xu Lei & Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu & Brother Hong in another. After reorganizing all the crops and meat they set out to the biggest communities in the Lotus City.

After selling the vegetables for 2 days straight they went back and calculated how much they had earned.

They each put 50,000 in the purchase and added misc. cost like truck rent and fueling it cost them around 103,000 yuan.

Thanks to heavy rainfall the farmer's market supply of goods and vegetables was shut down, so they can clear their stock within 3 days.

Deducting the cost they each made 167,000 yuan each. Seeing this amount of money in cash, The Xu family was shaking with excitement.

Uncle Xu even offered to give extra but Lei Feng refused to do so saying "It wouldn't be possible to complete this task if not for uncle's help. Our income will only grow from here. This is just the beginning."

They decided to celebrate with a sumptuous meal along with wine and juice.

What he explained next was another blockbuster deal, "Uncle Xu, Brother Hong and Xiao Lei I have another idea here but the amount of money involved is high but I can guarantee the returns will be enormous as well. I cannot disclose the details since the project is confidential but if you have trust in me, please do not hesitate."

Saying this he stayed silent giving the Xu family to think about it. 

Aunt Xu called everyone for dinner, and everyone started to eat but their minds were busy with the last deal Lei Feng offered.

While getting bored Lei Feng decided to claim his mission rewards.

[Ding! Host has completed Mission 1, rewarding one chance to redeem future intelligence.]

*Note: Don't use it in vain, it might help in a real clutch situation.

After finishing dinner he went home and continued studying. Around 9, he received confirmation from Uncle Xu who was willing to invest 300,000 RMB in this project.

Now Lei Feng had enough capital to take on that project. Originally he had 400,000 RMB himself but the more money the better so he asked Xu family to join. With a total capital of 700,000, he is confident to become a multimillionaire this time.

He went to study as tomorrow will be another busy day.

Monday,

Lei Feng went to Value Securities Limited to open up an account. One with Options trading as well as Virtual Currency. After transferring all his money to them he started operating.

As far as his memory serves right, due to this heavy rain storage facility in X city which contained 30% of The Country's Garlic was breached and almost all the garlic was swept away creating a short term hike in Garlic. Although the increase was as high as 125% in 2 days adding margin financing to the game this amount can be as high as 10 times. 

He went to the Manager and asked to get the best margin possible, with a misunderstanding of him being the young master of Gu Family, The Manager offered a 8% Margin which meant he needs to pay only this part of the trade value upfront.

Lei Feng was overjoyed and immediately transferred 680,000 to this account.

500,000 was invested in Garlic Futures worth 6.25 million and 180,000 RMB was invested in virtual currency.

He was not sure about the hike in virtual currency so invested less.

With that, he went home and waited for the day after tomorrow to sell all this stock and earn enough capital for future endeavors.

What he didn't expect was there was someone already waiting at his doorstep, not someone he would like to meet.
