Working at an otherworldly junkyard, making a fortune by collecting trash.

After the country sent the Arakka seaweed they had taken away for testing, encouraging results were quickly obtained.

This seemingly ordinary seaweed has great benefits for the human body. Regular consumption can improve overall health and is also helpful for thyroid diseases.

Such a significant discovery prompted relevant departments to immediately consider breeding and raising these animals, but the technology is still in the exploratory stage and there has been no progress yet.

Meanwhile, Chen Chen wasn't idle either.

He then contacted the manufacturer and had them urgently deliver two thousand 10-pound foam boxes and vacuum bags, as well as some large foam boxes.

Once the supplies arrived, he set up the multi-functional machine and, according to the specifications of ten-pound bags, repackaged, vacuum-sealed, and boxed the Alaka seaweed. The whole process took less than half an hour, and all 20,000 pounds of seaweed were processed.

He opened the community supply group chat, tapped his fingers on the screen, and sent a message:

High-quality fresh kelp, 10 yuan per jin for regular customers, quantity 10000 jin.

The moment the message was sent, the group chat exploded.

Apartment 102, Building 1: Boss, you've finally delivered the goods! I've been waiting forever!

Apartment 502, Building 7: Boss, could you order more next time? Every time I buy some, my family finishes it in just a few days!

Apartment 404, Building 4: Boss, I want 100 jin!

101, Building 1: You're dreaming! There are over 500 people in the group, and you're asking for 100 pounds each? What about the rest of us?

2nd Floor, Unit 1102: That's right! Didn't we agree before that when the boss brings in goods, we in the group would split the profits equally?

Apartment 801, Building 7: Boss, please, please increase the quantity next time! My child is growing and keeps asking for your seaweed every day...

Chen Chen looked at the messages flooding the group chat, a smile playing on his lips, and replied: I'll try my best.

Then he added: "To make it easier to count and deliver, do you want to select a few people to be responsible for counting quantities and checking prices? When the goods arrive, they can be distributed directly."

Apartment 301, Building 6: Okay, boss! Let's come to a conclusion today!

12th Building, 1601: Wait, did nobody notice how cheap the price is this time?

101, Building 1: Yeah, boss! You're not going to lose money, are you?

3rd Floor, 2202: Boss, we've seen the quality of your products, the prices really don't need to be so affordable! We can afford them, as long as you keep selling them!

The group chat kept popping up with messages, all expressing concern that he was losing money.

Chen Chen found these heartwarming words both funny and touching.

While other people haggle relentlessly when buying things, it's only these regular customers who worry that he'll lose money.

He naturally understood what everyone was thinking—they were afraid that if he went bankrupt, they would never be able to buy such good things again.

Chen Chen replied: It's almost Chinese New Year, this is a special price for you.

In fact, he knew very well that this Alaka seaweed was not kelp at all; it only looked similar, but its taste and effects were completely different.

To avoid trouble, he simply sold it under the name "seaweed".

The efficiency in the group was astonishing; in just half an hour, a contact person was selected to be responsible for counting the quantity and distributing the goods.

After dealing with the supply group matters, Chen Chen called Wu Suowei and Shen Wanlin separately.

Shen Wanlin had been sending him a lot of things these days, including fine tea and wine, and even thoughtfully prepared women's skincare products. Chen Chen naturally understood his little tricks.

Wu Suowei was even more direct, telling Chen Chen to send someone to deliver his share tomorrow—the two are now relatives, and he wasn't worried at all that Chen Chen would forget him.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Chen thought of the hotel owned by Wu Suowei.

These days, the hotel's special set meals have long been subject to purchase limits. There's no way around it; they've run out of wild vegetables and white radishes, and they can't support such a large flow of customers.

The hotel can only promote duck now, with a limit of half a duck per table.

The hotel still has some mutton in stock, but it can only cook a few head at most each day.

The hotel staff are eagerly awaiting his request to provide more high-end ingredients as soon as possible.

On the other end of the phone, upon hearing there was new stock, Shen Wanlin's voice immediately rose eight octaves, and he said urgently, "Brother Chen! I'll send someone over right away! No, I'll come myself! You absolutely must reserve some for me!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Wanlin couldn't help but feel a little smug. It wasn't for nothing that he'd been sending Chen Chen gifts from time to time to make his presence felt; now, Chen Chen was the first person he thought of when there was something good!

Old ginger is spicier!

Before leaving, Shen Wanlin called his son Shen Jiahao over, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Young people like you have common topics with Brother Chen. If you get along well with Chen Chen, it will benefit our Shen Group."

An hour later, the heavy iron door of the warehouse was pushed open from the outside, and Shen Wanlin strode in, followed by Shen Jiahao, who was dressed in a suit and looked a little reserved.

Upon seeing Chen Chen, Shen Wanlin immediately dropped his serious expression and greeted him with a beaming smile.

"Brother Chen, you look much more energetic and handsome these past few days!"

"Not at all, Brother Shen is still as charming as ever." Chen Chen smiled and cupped his hands in a very polite tone.

"Brother Chen, this is my son, Shen Jiahao." Shen Wanlin turned to the side and pulled his son in front of him, then raised his chin at Shen Jiahao.

"Jiahao, this is your Uncle Chen Chen, quickly call him Uncle."

Shen Jiahao followed his father's gesture and looked at Chen Chen. The two were about the same height and looked to be only a few years apart in age, so he found it hard to call him "uncle." He scratched his head, his eyes darting back and forth between the two, until he received a stern warning look from Shen Wanlin, before reluctantly drawing out his words, "Uncle~"

"No, no," Chen Chen quickly waved his hand, saying with a wry smile, "Let's stick to our own ways! I can't accept being called 'uncle' by you."

Shen Jiahao immediately gave him a grateful look, as if he had met a savior.

"That won't do!" Shen Wanlin said firmly, his face stern.

"Wouldn't that mess up the generations? Jiahao, quickly call him Uncle, from now on Chen Chen will be your uncle."

"Uncle Chen." Shen Jiahao sighed helplessly, forced to call out clearly.

Chen Chen was suddenly left with a nephew who was almost the same age as him, and several black lines appeared on his forehead, but he couldn't refuse any longer.

He could only grit his teeth and reply, "Yes, nephew Jiahao!"

"The goods are all here, 20,000 jin."

Chen Chen quickly changed the subject, pointing to the neatly stacked styrofoam boxes in the warehouse.

As he spoke, he took out his phone and forwarded a copy of the test report sent by the government to Shen Wanlin.

"This..." Shen Wanlin opened the report, and after reading only a few lines, he was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth, and he almost dropped his phone.

This isn't ordinary seaweed, it's practically a spirit! Its effects are incredibly miraculous!

Upon seeing the official seal of the national testing agency at the end of the report, he immediately made up his mind—Brother Chen Chen must be a government employee, and these things are definitely a new variety of kelp cultivated by the government!

Thinking about it this way, he secretly elevated Chen Chen's status in his heart by several levels.

"How much does this seaweed cost?" Shen Wanlin suppressed his shock and quickly asked.

"Ten yuan per jin," Chen Chen replied calmly.

"10, 10 yuan?" Shen Wanlin's voice rose a few decibels, his face full of disbelief.

Seeing his father's discomposure, Shen Jiahao curiously went over to look at the report.

Having worked at Shen's Enterprises for over a year, he naturally understood the value of the report and his eyes widened in astonishment.

"That's right, it's 10 yuan, that's already the lowest price," Chen Chen repeated.

"I'm not complaining about the price being too low, I just want to ask if you forgot to include two zeros?" Shen Wanlin swallowed hard, his tone urgent. "This kind of good stuff, even if it sold for a thousand per pound, there would be plenty of people scrambling to buy it!"

"That's right, it's 10 yuan per jin." Chen Chen nodded affirmatively.

Shen Wanlin and Shen Jiahao exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with immense joy.

At this price, what's the difference between it and getting it for free!

"Thank you so much, Brother Chen!" Shen Wanlin patted Chen Chen's shoulder excitedly, with a bit more force than usual.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Shen Jiahao quickly followed suit, his eyes showing more sincerity as he looked at Chen Chen.

Subsequently, the workers brought by Shen Wanlin quickly got to work and loaded all 10,000 jin of goods from the warehouse onto the truck.

Chen Chen declined Shen Wanlin's invitation to dinner at the hotel. As they were about to leave, he turned and ran upstairs to the second floor. A moment later, he came down carrying a bag of fresh, juicy fruit—flawed fruit from Planet Kalan that he had taken out of his spatial storage.

He handed the fruit to Shen Jiahao, smiling as he said, "This is my first time meeting my nephew, so I don't have anything fancy to offer. Here's a bag of fruit for the journey."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen! We'll be going now. Let's hang out sometime." Shen Jiahao accepted the fruit, and a bit of youthful energy finally appeared on his face.

Watching the father and son get into the car and slowly drive away from the warehouse, Chen Chen turned around and went back upstairs.
