Silly People Sometimes Say a Few Philosophical Things

Lin Qi came to the Warehouse District to deal with the things in these warehouses, and that's not all. Mr. Fox's other warehouses are also piled with all sorts of things. Sometimes, the collateral in a mortgage agreement is not just one item, but many items.

He walked in front, and Mr. Fox and his son walked behind, one in front and one behind, walking forward.

"I understand your troubles, and I can resolve these issues..." He slowed his pace slightly, bringing Mr. Fox almost alongside him. "You can entrust these things to me for sales; I have a company that can handle your business..." He gestured roughly, "All of it!"

Mr. Fox paused slightly. He had thought Lin Qi would have other ways to handle it, such as packaging it up and giving it to someone else. He hadn't expected Lynch to plan to do it himself. This made Mr. Fox a little more sober up from his ever-expanding wealth myth.

His wealth was rapidly doubling at a speed he could never have imagined before, while Lin Qi was advancing, expanding, and increasing at an even more unimaginable speed!

He spent half his life running shady businesses, living in constant fear, to achieve everything he has today. But look at this young man in front of him; just over two weeks ago, he was just an ordinary unemployed person.

Now, his wealth is probably many times greater than before, but he only took less than a month to achieve this wealth miracle.

What's even more frightening is that Lin Qi's income was all completely legal and taxed! Mr. Fox was expanding his influence, and so was Lin Qi, but faster and more covertly.

He was momentarily dazed, but quickly regained his senses. His thoughts moved so fast that Lin Qi didn't even realize what Mr. Fox was thinking before he regained control of his body.

"Hmm..." After a brief pause, Mr. Fox asked with a hint of admiration, "So, what do I need to pay for this time?"

Lin Qi, you're not quite sure what caused Mr. Fox to change so drastically in such a short time, so drastically that he even changed his mental state to some extent, but it's a good thing, and he doesn't mind.

"You need to choose for yourself!"

"The first option is to reduce the value of the collateral in the agreement by 30% and buy out these items directly. Whether they rot in my hands or are sold at a higher price in the future, it has nothing to do with you."

"Whether I make a profit or a loss, it's my own business!"

"The second option is for my company to help you sell these products. You will need to give me two prices: one is the minimum price you can afford, and the other is the price you want."

"I charge a middle price, and you must pay me 10% of the price regardless of whether it sells or not. I cannot guarantee when it will sell or at what price."

Lin Qi listened as he spoke, looking at the father and son with the same radiant smile as when they first met.

Mr. Fox looked somewhat troubled. He and his son discussed it quietly for a while, finding it difficult to make a decision.

They were all well aware that the value of these items in the mortgage agreement had been reduced to a very low level. Items that were originally worth a hundred dollars were only worth forty or fifty dollars to them. There would definitely be people willing to spend forty or fifty dollars, fifty or sixty dollars, or even more to buy these items, as they were much cheaper than when they were displayed in the store.

However, they also had some hesitation. They tried to sell these items in the past two days, but the results were not satisfactory. Not everyone was interested in them, and they only made a little over a thousand yuan in two days.

Converting them all into cash would be a difficult task, and it would take a long time. During this process, there would be costs associated with warehouses, management, labor, and potential unexpected losses, such as if something were to break.

Their actual value will shrink, and they have already begun to shrink now. Every penny spent on them is equivalent to their value being lost.

If they gave Lin Qi 70% of the agreed price, frankly, they felt it was too low. Lin Qi would only take away 30 or 40 yuan for something worth 100 yuan, which was a bit... too much of a rip-off, wasn't it? However, choosing the second method also made them a little worried. If Lin Qi deliberately slowed down the sales speed, even just 10% of the fee would be enough to cause them a lot of trouble, not to mention that their biggest problem right now was that they urgently needed some money to deal with the interest accrual from the bank.

Lin Qi gave them two choices, but in their eyes, there was only one choice.

Just as they were about to make a decision, Lin Qi suddenly interrupted them, saying, "Think about it again, you two."

"This is official business, so we must handle it officially and not let any personal feelings interfere with our judgment. Please don't assume I'm a good person just because of our relationship. I'm also a businessman. Do you know what ordinary people in society call businessmen?"

Before Mr. Fox and his son could answer, Lin Qi replied with a smile, "They call businessmen greedy devils. That's the nature of businessmen—pursuing more profits. I may not necessarily think about you, but I will certainly try my best to satisfy my own interests."

He lowered his voice as he spoke, "However, aside from official business, from a personal perspective, I think the second method is more appropriate. Of course, for me personally, it doesn't really matter which one you choose."

Lin Qi's straightforward words dispelled the slight unpleasantness in the father and son's hearts, thanks to his carefully crafted image of "straightforwardness." They then began to view the matter from Lin Qi's perspective, without any personal bias, and realized that Lin Qi's request was actually not excessive.

What they are enduring, and what they are about to lose, will all be transferred to Lin Qi to bear, and they will not have to pay a single penny for it, and will even receive money from Lin Qi.

Lin Qi was doing something, not picking up money. Coupled with his words, Mr. Fox sighed, "Let's choose the first option!"

"Have you thought it through?" Lin Qi asked with a half-smile.

"I've thought it through!" Mr. Fox answered, his voice not loud, but firm. "When I was young, my father told me that I shouldn't just look at the thieves' splendid spending, but also think about what happens when they fail, get beaten up, caught by the police and sent to jail, or even killed in the wild."

His tone was somewhat wistful, "Everything has a glamorous side and a side we don't want to see. This is your ability to make money. I don't have this ability, so I shouldn't be jealous of you."

He shrugged. "Similarly, you can't use the way I make money, and I believe you won't be jealous of me, right?"

Lin Qi gave a somewhat exaggerated expression, agreeing wholeheartedly, "These are words full of life philosophy and wisdom, Mr. Fox, you are a Sage!"

Mr. Fox burst into laughter. "This is the first time in my life that someone has called me a smart man. You know, people always like to call me a fool or an idiot!"

He put his arm around Lin Qi's shoulder. "It's decided then. When are you coming to take these things away?"

"That depends on when you're free!"

During this time, Lin Qi helped Mr. Fox and Jinhui Bank move cash between them, earning himself a considerable amount of benefits, enough to handle things here. In fact, he could have done worse, but he was in a good mood and didn't intend to do so.

Everything is on track and will only get better; there's no need to take any risks.

Soon, Lin Qi had arranged the warehouse and re-recruited Richard and others who were temporarily unemployed. What followed was a major undertaking, or rather, the birth of a new wealth legend.
