Chapter 8

"Is the refrigerator really leftover stock from the manufacturer?"

A customer came in, and Wei Shufen went over to greet them. Hao Meng was holding Guo on the sofa, watching cartoons. The customer was soon attracted by the large LCD TV.

"Is this big LCD TV also second-hand?"

"Exactly, it's almost new, used for no more than two months, with no scratches at all. The original retail price in the mall was 1.2 million RMB, but this one is only 750,000 RMB." Hao Meng smiled and said casually.

The customer shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "So expensive, it's almost as much as a house. I can't afford it."

However, the store's treasure worth hundreds of thousands of yuan did have its effect. The customer almost without hesitation bought a refrigerator. "Do you deliver it to my place?"

"Deliver it to your place?" Wei Shufen was unsure and looked over at Hao Meng.

"Sure!" Hao Meng smiled and stood up.

There was a tricycle outside. The buyer's home was nearby, not far away, so Hao Meng could just pull it over, which wouldn't be too much trouble.

"I'll help you carry it!" Wei Shufen wanted to lend a hand.

Hao Meng smiled and picked up the refrigerator by himself, making it seem like it didn't take much effort: "I can do it myself, it's not heavy!"

The customer laughed and said, "Young man, you have good strength. This refrigerator must weigh a hundred pounds or so. Not everyone could lift it by themselves!"

Hao Meng didn't really use much strength. He wondered if it was the effect of the '初级基因药剂' (初级 gene agent) he had injected. He didn't think much about it, but having more strength was definitely a good thing!

From morning on, customers came to the store one after another. Not everyone who came bought something, but they remembered this store that sold second-hand appliances. The super LCD TV left a deep impression, after all, something worth hundreds of thousands of yuan was quite rare.

As noon approached, a young couple entered the store.

"Do you buy second-hand items here?"

"Yes, what do you have to sell?" Hao Meng stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"We have an air conditioner, a TV, and some other miscellaneous items. Our rental contract in the area is expiring, and we want to get rid of these things!"

Hao Meng went over to check. The air conditioner and TV were already second-hand when they bought them, so Hao Meng didn't offer a high price. He gave 600 RMB for the air conditioner, 150 RMB for the TV, and 800 RMB for the other items. He asked the landlord to confirm that the items belonged to them before giving the price.

The miscellaneous items were thrown directly into the warehouse and sold to the system for a few gold coins. The air conditioner and TV were repaired and placed in the store. The air conditioner was priced at 1,500 RMB, and the TV at 350 RMB. By evening, a young man who had just rented a place nearby bought both the air conditioner and the TV!

In and out, they made 1,000 RMB.

Plus, they sold two more refrigerators, making a total profit of 3,400 RMB for the day. This was still because the store had just opened and had few items!

"If it doesn't work out, we can contact a repair shop to handle the installation. It's fine for now, but if we sell more items, you can't keep doing all the physical labor. We need someone to help with deliveries. It would be best to find a regular delivery person. What do you think?" Wei Shufen was a bit worried about Hao Meng. Although they made a lot of money today, it was also quite tiring.

Hao Meng nodded with a smile: "Sure, I'll follow Sister Shufen's advice!"

Wei Shufen's face turned red, and she went to order food at a small restaurant nearby. Guo leaned on the sofa, watching cartoons and ignoring everyone.

Air conditioners and refrigerators were in the peak sales season. After some thought, Hao Meng took out his phone and called Old Zhang San: "Brother San, do you have any air conditioners in stock? I need them urgently... Whatever you have, I'll take it. But the price you mentioned needs to be lower. My relatives found out from others that the price is even lower than what you offered."

In the evening, after dinner, Hao Meng leaned on the sofa, too lazy to move.

"Mom, I'm sleepy!" Guo yawned and rubbed her eyes. The little girl had played all day and didn't take a nap at noon, so it was no wonder she was tired!

Wei Shufen looked at Hao Meng and took the little girl upstairs to bed. Before leaving, Guo hugged Hao Meng's neck and kissed his face before going to bed!

In summer, the days are longer, and it was almost 10 PM.

"Is Guo asleep?" Hao Meng asked with a smile as Wei Shufen came downstairs.

"Asleep, she played all day," Wei Shufen said with a bitter smile.

Hao Meng thought for a moment and said, "When school starts in the second half of the year, we'll send Guo to school. There's an elementary school nearby, I'll contact them later!"

Guo was almost six years old, and it was a bit late for her to be in kindergarten.

Wei Shufen nodded and didn't say anything. They sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while. Hao Meng got up and pulled down the security door from outside.

"I don't want to go back. I'll just sleep on the sofa tonight!" Hao Meng said with a smile. It would take half an hour to ride the tricycle back, and he was too lazy to move. In summer, you could find a place to sleep anywhere.

Wei Shufen's face turned red when she heard Hao Meng say he wasn't leaving, but she didn't say anything. After all, this was his place, and whether he stayed or not was none of her business. He was the boss.

"Xiaomeng, the batch of refrigerators we bought is selling well. We just put up the ad yesterday, and we sold three today. How about we get a few more? Otherwise, they'll be sold out in a couple of days!"

Hao Meng smiled and said, "Sure, I'll contact them tomorrow and try to get more. By the way, if everything goes well, we'll also get some air conditioners tomorrow. When they arrive, you can price them at 1,800 RMB each." He had decided that although they were second-hand appliances, the prices didn't have to be low. The quality varied, and what he sold was as good as new, but much cheaper. As for how customers chose, that was up to them. They just needed to do their best.

They chatted for a while, and Wei Shufen got up from the sofa to go upstairs to bed. Halfway up, she stopped and asked softly, "Xiaomeng, aren't you going to take a shower?"

"Sure!" Hao Meng was taken aback but smiled and got up from the sofa. He had been busy all day and had sweated a lot.

As he followed her up the stairs, his eyes couldn't help but glance at her hips, which swayed sensually, making his mouth dry and his heart race. For a beautiful woman, few men could remain indifferent!

He took a shower and dried himself with Wei Shufen's towel, then walked out in his shorts.

Creak, Wei Shufen opened the bedroom door, poked her head out, and said with a red face, "Why don't you sleep in the bed? It's not crowded."

Hao Meng gulped, staring at her. Wei Shufen had changed into a silk strapless nightgown, which was somewhat transparent. It looked like it was newly bought from the clothing store next door, quite fashionable. The key was, she didn't seem to be wearing anything underneath.

"Um, no, I sleep restlessly, so I'll just sleep on the sofa!" Hao Meng quickly turned and walked downstairs, afraid that if he hesitated, he might not be able to resist the temptation.
