Chapter 62 Buying USB Drives at Rock-Bottom Prices
The next day after school, Su Xiao didn't go home or look for Xu Niannian; instead, she went straight to Guochu Computer City.
His backpack contained most of his wealth.
Starting a business is fine, but you must be cautious.
He went through the accounts again on the way, and the more he calculated, the more daring he felt.
If I go all in now and lose, it's like going back to square one.
But opportunities never wait for anyone.
When I got to the second floor of the computer mall, the area with the USB flash drive stalls was even quieter than the last time I came.
Every store had signs hanging outside that read "Clearance Sale," "Sell-Off," and "Super Low Price." Some even had the words "Hot Sell-Off Price" written in red ink, followed by several exclamation marks, making people's hearts pound.
The stall owners were either playing cards or spacing out. One owner even fell asleep on the counter, drooling all over it.
Su Xiao stopped in front of one of the stalls.
The glass display case in this store is densely packed with USB drives of various capacities, ranging from 64MB to 512MB. The prices on the tags have been crossed out and rewritten repeatedly, layer upon layer, showing that the owner has already lowered the prices several times.
The boss was a chubby man in his early forties, wearing a plaid shirt, who was standing outside the counter with several colleagues, discussing market conditions.
The fat boss looked worried: "The price dropped by two yuan again today. I still have eight hundred of them stuck in my warehouse. If it keeps falling, I'm really going to jump into the Xiangjiang River."
A tall, thin colleague next to him, smoking a cigarette, patted him on the shoulder with an air of experience: "Old Zhou, what are you panicking for? The experts said there will be another drop at the end of this month. Anyone who buys now is a fool. If you ask me, sell everything as soon as possible, and recoup as much as you can."
"Even at low prices, they won't sell..."
The fat boss looked even more worried.
Su Xiao stood in front of the counter, pointing to the cheapest 128MB USB flash drive in the glass case: "Boss, how much is this one?"
The fat boss turned around and glanced back.
A student in a school uniform, carrying an old backpack, didn't look like someone who could afford a USB drive.
But he wasn't in the mood to pick and choose customers right now, so he casually quoted a price: "128 is thirty-five yuan. If you're using it yourself, little brother, I'll give you a discount, thirty-three yuan."
"Six hundred," Su Xiao said.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The fat boss's hand froze in mid-air, his expression suggesting he hadn't understood.
The tall, thin man next to him had his cigarette slip from between his fingers and flicked it twice on the concrete.
The owners of the neighboring stalls also looked over, and one of them, who had been playing cards, put down all his cards.
"How much did you just say?" The fat boss leaned forward.
"Six hundred."
Su Xiao placed her schoolbag on the counter, unzipped it, and took out a brown paper envelope.
The envelope was turned upside down, and stacks of red banknotes lay neatly on the glass counter.
Not just a few sheets, not just a few dozen sheets, but several thick stacks.
He picked up one of the stacks and began to count.
Counting them one by one, I twist each banknote between my thumb and forefinger, just like buying cabbage at the market.
The tall, thin guy next to him was about to laugh, but the words were already on the tip of his tongue: "Student, do you know how much six hundred is?"
Then he saw the pile of red banknotes on the counter, his mouth opened but didn't close, and the laughter sounded stuck in his throat, turning into a strange gurgling sound.
"Boss."
Su Xiao continued counting the money slowly, saying, "Help me count the goods."
The fat boss suddenly snapped out of his daze, his worried expression vanishing as he grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Yes, yes, yes! Six hundred times yes! Please wait a moment. No, please sit down, I'll get you a glass of water..."
As he frantically moved chairs, he turned and called out, "Old Zhou! Old Zhou, can you watch the front desk for me? I'm going to the back warehouse to get some goods!"
Su Xiao sat on the chair the boss had brought over and continued to slowly count the money.
The other colleagues who had just been mocking him, saying "Anyone who buys now is a fool," all fell silent.
Some people started to mutter that this kid was probably a rich kid who didn't know the market and would probably lose everything buying USB drives now.
The person who said this had a sour tone, but their eyes were glued to the stack of banknotes on the counter, unable to look away.
After counting the last banknote, Su Xiao neatly stacked the money and pushed it to the boss.
He heard the whispers of the people behind him and just sneered inwardly.
Laugh all you want, you'll find out in half a month.
When the price of USB flash drives triples, let's see who's the fool!
The fat boss carried out six large cardboard boxes from the warehouse, stacked them neatly, and each box contained one hundred USB flash drives.
Su Xiao opened the top one and randomly selected a few test computers plugged into the counter. All of them were recognized normally, the capacity was correct, and the read and write speeds met the requirements.
He took a few more from the box below, and they were all fine.
The boss chuckled and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Don't worry, I never cheat people in business," but in his heart he was thinking that this kid was more professional at inspecting goods than his competitors. Who trained him?
After the transaction was completed, Su Xiao resealed the six cardboard boxes with tape and stacked them together.
He tried, but it was too heavy to move.
In the end, the shop owner helped him call a small cart and carried the boxes one by one to a taxi at the entrance of the computer mall.
The trunk was completely crammed with six cardboard boxes, which also took up a back seat.
Before leaving, Su Xiao passed by a stationery store and suddenly remembered that Xu Niannian's notebook was almost empty.
Last time in chemistry class, she used the last few pages to memorize ionic equations, and the edges of the pages were all curled up.
He went inside and picked out two books.
One has a blue cover, and the other has a pink cover.
The blue one has several small whales printed on the cover, while the pink one has little rabbits printed on it.
While paying at the cashier, he casually grabbed a bag of strawberry-flavored fruit candies and stuffed it into his backpack.
When I got home, Su Wanning was already back.
She sat on the sofa reading a book, glanced up at him, and then at the six large cardboard boxes by the door.
"What is that?"
Su Xiao patted the cardboard box: "Entrepreneurial capital."
After saying that, he started carrying the boxes into his room one by one.
Su Wanning glanced at it; she knew he'd been tinkering with some strange electronic gadgets lately, and even the phone he gave her was repaired by him.
Su Wan Ning was a little curious; when did he learn how to fix cell phones?
I wanted to ask, but I was too embarrassed to ask, so I could only peek at him awkwardly.
When Su Xiao moved the last box, her back was almost broken. She leaned against the door frame, panting, thinking that if she got stuck with these 600 USB drives, she would really become the biggest idiot in the whole of Jingcheng.
But what if you bet right...
He closed the door, looked at the stack of cardboard boxes in the corner, and patted the top one.
If he triples his money, he'll have enough capital to do even bigger business.
May wealth come your way!

(I don't understand. I think it's quite well-written, so why are the backend data so bad? Seeing the data makes me not want to continue writing, but I'll still write it for everyone. Sigh, if you think this book is okay, I hope everyone will leave more comments, give it more 5 stars, and urge me to update more. Two extra chapters for an 8.0 rating.)
