He won 900 million in the lottery.

Many parents believe their children are the smartest, yet refuse to believe they are better than themselves.

late at night.

I was alone and didn't text Dongling. I still remember Zhongqing's words: Dongling can't stand anyone holding her back, and I couldn't bear to bother her.

Roadside night market stalls.

They're selling grilled cold noodles, and there's a line right now!

A small portion costs 6 yuan!

A large portion costs 7 yuan!

The cost comes to 2 yuan, and the profit is 300%!

With nothing else to do, I sat down next to her and watched her work until there was no one left at her stall.

"Young man, what can I do for you?"

Me: "It's alright, ma'am, I'll just sit here for a while."

After I finished my meal, the older woman made me a plate of grilled cold noodles and handed it to me.

"Eat up, there's nothing you can't figure out."

I was somewhat flattered.

The woman said, "I've been setting up my stall here for five years, rain or shine, without fail. Some people have left crying in the middle of the night, and others have even jumped into the river after eating here."

The moat is right next to it.

Me: "Don't worry, ma'am, I've already died once, I won't do anything rash again."

The woman said, "That's right. Everyone who jumps into the river here, the first thing they do after falling in is shout for help. Some people regret it while they still have time, while others regret it but it's too late."

Me: "You're right, ma'am. Thank you for the grilled cold noodles."

After paying, I left.

I wanted to ask the lady how many servings she sells a day, but it's no longer necessary.

I'm a little tired and want to sleep.

Dingxin Apartment, Block A.

I pushed open the door, and my energetic little sister was already lying down asleep. I took off my clothes and crawled into bed.

The little girl snuggled sleepily into my arms and said, "Boss, you're back."

Me: "Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Chunqiu: "Hmm."

I slept soundly until dawn again.

When I woke up, the energetic young lady Chunqiu had already gotten up and left.

I have to leave home at 5:30 in the morning and don't get back to sleep until after 11 p.m.

"Knock knock knock!"

Someone knocked on the door.

Upon opening the door, a strange woman appeared. She was well-dressed, had a pretty face, and was very well-maintained, somewhere between a young woman and a mature woman.

He just looks a bit haggard.

"Hello, I'm the landlord."

"Hello there."

I stretched out my hand; the woman was very thin, her palms were all bone, with no flesh.

"I'm so sorry, but due to business issues, I have to sell the house. I'm worried that this might affect you, so I'm letting you know in advance. The rent can be fully refunded, and I'll also compensate you with an extra month's rent."

Me: "Come in and talk."

Luckily, there were stools in the room.

Me: "May I ask if you've found a seller for your house yet?"

The other party said, "Not yet, but I need the money urgently, so I'll sell it at a low price. I might find a buyer soon."

Me: "Okay, we can move after you find a seller. There are moving companies that can handle it in a day, so it won't affect your sale."

Landlord: "Thank you so much."

Given the beautiful young woman's demeanor and anxious expression, I became curious about what kind of business she was in.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Could you tell me what kind of business you're in?"

Landlord: "I make local specialties, such as vermicelli and dried bean curd. I have my own small factory for these products."

Me: "Business is so good, you're even selling houses."

The young landlady said with some melancholy, "Actually, the profit margin is very thin. I supply goods to e-commerce companies. They need large quantities and payment terms."

I became interested. I used to do e-commerce on Douyin, but unfortunately, I didn't have an advantage in the supply chain, so the goods didn't sell well, and I gave up halfway through.

Me: "How many can you sell in a month?"

Landlord: "They bought 30 yuan worth of goods from me in the first month, 100 million yuan in the second month, 400 million yuan in the third month, and now they want 900 million yuan worth of goods."

Me: "Aren't they going to pay you? They sold over 500 million worth of goods, they must have made a lot of money."

Landlord: "Online stores have a cycle. We agreed to settle accounts monthly. This time they said the goods sold out too quickly and the money hadn't arrived yet. They only settled over 80 yuan."

I ran into an honest person who didn't know anything about online stores...

This woman has most likely been tricked.

Let me first talk about the cash flow of an online store. It usually takes about 15-20 days, but it will be delayed if there are major holidays.

However, it wasn't actually that slow.

For example, if you buy something online and it arrives at your home in 3 days, but you don't click "confirm receipt" on the app after receiving the goods, then it will be automatically confirmed as received after 7 days. The money will then be transferred from the platform to the merchant's account after 7 + 3 = 10 days.

If you receive the goods, click to confirm receipt, and leave a review, then...

Then the payment for this product will be transferred to the merchant's account immediately, and the payment cycle is only 3 days.

Most merchants offer cash back promotions for positive reviews, so 50% of the payment will arrive in 3-5 days, and the remaining 50% will arrive after 10 days, with holidays extending the payment period.

If the merchant settles accounts monthly, there are only two possibilities:

1. The merchant took your money to do other business.

2. The merchant is trying to scam you out of your money.

This situation is common in factory sales. Later, I will tell you about a business that started from scratch and made 300 million yuan with no capital.

Upon hearing my words, the landlord panicked instantly: "My daughter also said she didn't want me to supply goods anymore, but they're holding onto my money. What if I stop supplying goods and they stop paying me? What then?"

You see, this landlord's mindset is very typical.

Her daughter had already warned her mother, even telling her not to continue making payments, as she was considering selling the house to continue.

As for me, I was just an outsider, a tenant. When I pointed out that this might be a trap, she panicked.

As an outsider, I cannot interfere with her actions; I can only tell her to go back and find her daughter.

The landlord thanked him and left while making a phone call.

A very refreshing start.

I'm wide awake now.

After washing up, I was about to go out for dinner when I opened the sliding door. Just then, the door to room 1121 across the street opened as well. It was Liu Yiting, who was also about to leave.

That's unfortunate.

"Boss."

A very forced, formulaic smile.

I nodded in acknowledgment and prepared to leave; we were from completely different worlds.

Prostitutes are heartless, actors are ungrateful.

If you haven't given her money and haven't continued to give her money, then in her eyes you're nothing but a piece of dog shit, and she'll avoid you whenever she sees you.

After Liu Yiting came out, another man came out of her room. He looked sleepy and was probably a client who had accompanied her to drinks the night before.

It seems that Haitao and Liu Yiting's negotiations broke down, and the girl ultimately did not choose to go ashore.

This is not a loss for Haitao.

It just lacks the sense of accomplishment of persuading women in the world to reform themselves.

But that's not my business.

I shouldn't interfere.

They won't ask.

I didn't stop to wait for Liu Yiting to explain, because I saw her open mouth; she was about to explain, but I turned and left beforehand.

Pointless.

You can earn 1000 yuan by sleeping, but you only earn 100 yuan by working hard all day.

Having worked as a hostess, why would she work as a waitress?

In fact, I do not discriminate against any profession, not even Liu Yiting; on the contrary, I admire her very much.

When you're broke and can't make ends meet, playing the victim won't work; selling your body is the most direct option.

This is her advantage.

Everyone lives until the end; that's life.
