Listening to Zhang Liunian's analysis, Du Ziteng also felt that tens of thousands a day was not a problem. Moreover, there were still many people outside who hadn't bought the goods. Calculating this way, fifty thousand was far from enough for a day's sales.
Good heavens, the market in South City is truly vast. Could it be that from now on, he'd be selling over a hundred thousand a day?
Du Ziteng was shocked by his own thoughts. After a long while, he exclaimed with excited joy, "Liunian, you're truly going to strike it rich now!"
He truly deserved to be Du Ziteng's elder brother. He could casually earn tens of thousands a day. Recalling that half a month ago, Brother Liunian was still earning a few thousand a day, but now, half a month later, he was earning tens of thousands a day. If this continued, wouldn't he be earning hundreds of thousands or millions a day in the future?
Boom!
Du Ziteng was so excited just thinking about it, as if he were the one earning so much money.
"Mm, work hard, and I'll increase your salaries next month," Zhang Liunian was also very pleased. His daily income had now reached a staggering over forty thousand, which amounted to a million a month. This pace was much faster than in his previous life.
That's right, he needed to open more braised meat shops and train a few loyal braising apprentices. The manpower from his previous life hadn't appeared yet. If he were to do it now, he should pick trustworthy people from the village.
"Brother Liunian, don't worry, we'll all work hard and won't drag you down." Du Ziteng was determined to hold onto Zhang Liunian's coattails and had no intention of letting go.
However, Zhang Liunian didn't want him to be a subordinate forever. After all, Du Ziteng was a future real estate mogul. But his career was still a long way off, so for now, he could continue working with him.
"Grandpa Tang will come to learn tomorrow. You can take him to manage the shop. When I open the first braised meat branch, I'll send him there." Recalling his agreement with Grandpa Tang today, Zhang Liunian specifically instructed him.
"Grandpa Tang will also join us?" Du Ziteng naturally knew who Grandpa Tang was. Wasn't he the one who helped Zhang Liunian sell goods in the county town?
"Mm, enough said. I'm going to find a shop." Since Zhang Liunian intended to open a branch, he wouldn't delay. With that, he hopped on his motorcycle and headed to the three liveliest streets in South City.
These three streets were also among the ten distribution points that Zhang Liunian had found initially.
It was just a pity that at the time, they dared not continue cooperating with Zhang Liunian due to pressure from the Tang family, and their contact was severed.
When Zhang Liunian re-entered the scene this time, he was quickly spotted by a boss he had previously cooperated with.
There was no other way. Who could blame Zhang Liunian for being handsome and riding a motorcycle that everyone envied? He was like a wealthy CEO on an outing, instantly attracting countless gazes.
"Comrade Zhang Liunian? Why are you here?" The supermarket boss, who had cooperated with him once, saw Zhang Liunian stop his motorcycle not far away and couldn't help but step forward to greet him.
Hearing the voice, Zhang Liunian got off his motorcycle and walked in front of him. "Long time no see, Boss Chen."
"What brings you here?" Boss Chen felt inexplicably guilty facing Zhang Liunian. After all, he had promised to cooperate, but who knew the Tang family would intervene with pressure?
"I'm looking for a shop to sell braised meat. Boss Chen, do you know if there are any shops for sale?"
Yes, Zhang Liunian had money now, so he wasn't renting. His first consideration for a shop was to buy it.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about price increases later and could also treat it as an investment.
Of course, if none were for sale, he would still rent.
"Buying a shop? It seems Comrade Zhang Liunian's pickles are selling very well. Indeed, I see people selling pickles opposite my shop every day now. It's a pity I can't make this money anymore." Boss Chen felt quite uncomfortable thinking about Zhang Liunian's pickles' acceptance in South City these past few days.
Those few people, each selling at least a hundred bottles a day, that was all money! If he were selling them, he could earn over a hundred yuan a day.
Such a large sum of money, and just because the Tang family disliked Zhang Liunian, they had to force small bosses like him to give up this business.
Damn it, the Tang family disliked Zhang Liunian, so they had to ruin their source of wealth. They were truly overbearing.
If only this Tang family didn't exist.
Actually, Boss Chen wasn't the only one with such thoughts. The other nine bosses who had refused to cooperate with Zhang Liunian along with him were also cursing the Tang family these days for not acting humanely and ruining their source of wealth.
Otherwise, relying solely on Zhang Liunian's pickle business, they could have made a substantial profit.
However, some shrewd individuals were not so honest. They feared the Tang family's great power in South City, but they could take the goods to neighboring cities to sell. Those places had no Tang family, so they didn't have to worry about offending them.
Zhang Liunian was naturally unaware of all this.
"It's alright." Zhang Liunian's face also showed a hint of joy when he mentioned the pickle business. His pickle business was about to rise.
"But you've asked the right person if you want to buy a shop. I've been doing business here for over a year, and I really know of a place that's selling. Do you see the stir-fry noodle shop next to mine, the third one? Their family reportedly needs money urgently and plans to sell." Boss Chen pointed to a small stir-fry shop next to his.
Zhang Liunian looked over and indeed saw that shop. The shop was still operating and didn't have any "For Sale" signs.
But Boss Chen wouldn't lie, so he had to go and ask.
"Thank you, Boss Chen, for the introduction. I'll go and inquire first." Zhang Liunian appreciated Boss Chen's goodwill and headed straight for the stir-fry noodle shop.
Upon finding the owner and asking, he indeed wanted to sell.
"This shop was converted from our old family house. It also has two floors and is not small in area. If you want to buy it, it will cost at least seventeen thousand. This price is non-negotiable." The owner was quite firm about the price.
This price was reasonable for this location, and Zhang Liunian didn't bargain. "Deal. Shall we go through the transfer and payment now?"
Zhang Liunian could go to the shop to get the money later, so he could complete the handover immediately.
Seeing Zhang Liunian so straightforward, the owner hesitated instead, as if Zhang Liunian had discovered some priceless treasure in his shop and was eager to buy it.
"What's wrong? Don't want to sell anymore? If you don't sell, I'll go look elsewhere." Zhang Liunian wasn't stupid; he could see the man's hesitation at a glance. He was getting too much.
If they didn't sell, others would. Did they really think this was a treasure trove?
"No, I'll sell. Let's go now." Seeing Zhang Liunian once again appear indifferent, the owner panicked.
His family was waiting for the money. If he missed out on Zhang Liunian, a buyer who wouldn't bargain, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.
He'd sell it then! Family matters were more important.
And so, the two quickly completed the payment and transfer. Zhang Liunian successfully purchased his first shop in South City.
Although this shop was an old building, it could last for decades without any problems.
After buying the shop, Zhang Liunian happily returned to the county town with his wallet. As soon as he entered, he saw Su Jie appearing uninvited in his living room.
"Liunian, you're back?" Jiang Qingqing heard the door open and walked over happily, as if she hadn't seen Zhang Liunian for a long time.
Zhang Liunian walked forward with his bag and gently supported her. "Walk slowly, don't fall."
"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." Jiang Qingqing enjoyed her man's concern, giving him a playful glance. Her pretty face was flushed and extremely alluring.
