Wholesale Business?

Wu Yuqing, the eldest daughter of Longhua Group.

In Yunzhou, she was unquestionably a figure at the very pinnacle of high society.

A heaven-favored daughter like her was someone Lin Fei would never have been qualified to meet before.

Now that she had taken the initiative to befriend him, Lin Fei felt somewhat flattered.

Still, being able to establish ties with Longhua Group would be greatly beneficial to him in the future.

At the very least, he would have a reliable buyer for the gold coins he earned from Nanli City.

"Miss Wu..."

"You can't keep calling me Miss Wu. I call you Lin Fei, so you call me Yuqing. Otherwise, I'll get angry!"

Wu Yuqing put on an angry expression, but in Lin Fei's eyes, she looked rather playfully adorable.

"Alright then, Yuqing..."

Lin Fei took the gold coins from his pocket. There were fifteen in total.

Previously, he had sold cold drinks and ice cream twice over two days, earning twenty gold coins altogether.

One gold coin had been spent on a private room at Tongfu Restaurant.

Lin Fei had kept the other four for himself, intending to use them later in Nanli City.

The third time he sold cold drinks and ice cream, Blood Wolf Gang lackeys had bullied him. Li Ruxue had saved him and even given him a Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill, so he had been too embarrassed to ask her for money.

Therefore, he currently only had fifteen gold coins he could sell.

"I have fifteen gold coins in total. Let's sell them at the gold buyback price."

Wu Yuqing was somewhat surprised. "Don't you know that if you sell them as antiques, the gold coins would fetch a higher price?"

Naturally, Lin Fei knew that, but he did not want to take advantage of Wu Yuqing.

After all, if he accepted too much money, how would he repay her when she made a request of him?

"These gold coins may have been passed down through my family, but they probably aren't ancient coins. They don't count as antiques."

"If we insist on pricing them as antiques, I wouldn't even know how much to sell them for. So let's do it this way."

Wu Yuqing had indeed started following Lin Fei because of the "miracle doctor" he had mentioned.

But after hearing those words, she could not help viewing him in a different light.

A man from the countryside, faced with the temptation of greater profit, could still resist greed. That character was even more precious.

"Alright, we'll do as you say."

"Weigh these gold coins."

The salesperson brought over several pieces of equipment to test the authenticity of the gold and also called in a professional appraiser.

The appraiser used various methods—visual inspection, listening to the sound, burning them with fire, and more. Only after confirming the gold's authenticity and purity did he weigh them.

"Miss, these gold coins are all highly pure. Each one weighs nearly the same, around thirty-five grams."

"Today's gold buyback price is 556 yuan per gram. If all these gold coins are exchanged for cash, the total will be 291,900 yuan."

"Would you like cash or a bank transfer?"

Lin Fei had never seen 290,000 yuan in cash before, and he really wanted to see it with his own eyes.

But carrying that much cash around was far too inconvenient. A transfer would be easier.

"A transfer, then. Here is my card number."

Very soon, Lin Fei received a transfer notification.

"Dear Mr. Lin Fei, your bank card ending in 8854 has just received a transfer of 300,000 yuan."

"Your current bank card balance is 300,102 yuan."

Lin Fei looked at Wu Yuqing in confusion. "Yuqing, it seems like too much money was transferred."

Wu Yuqing smiled. "Hehe, you really are honest. I told them to transfer 300,000 yuan to you."

"Don't feel embarrassed. With your gold coins, if they were resold at market price, they could easily make a profit of over a hundred thousand yuan. It's only right to give you a little extra."

The Wu Family possessed vast wealth. Lin Fei knew Wu Yuqing did not care about such a small sum, so he did not put on airs.

"Alright. Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Where are you going next? I'll give you a ride."

"Uh... I'm going to the supermarket."

"Perfect, I need to buy a few things too. Let's go together!"

Lin Fei knew Wu Yuqing was deliberately looking for chances to get close to him, but he did not expose her. She might even be able to help him later.

The two went to the supermarket together. Lin Fei arrived at the cold drink section, and before he could ask anything, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit hurry over.

"Miss, are you here to inspect the store?"

"Manager Liu, I'm just accompanying a friend around the supermarket. It's nothing. Go back to your work."

Wu Yuqing waved her hand, intending to dismiss him.

Lin Fei spoke up. "Hello, Manager Liu. Are you the person in charge of this supermarket?"

Liu Tao glanced at Lin Fei, then at Wu Yuqing.

Though he did not know Lin Fei's identity, since he was the eldest daughter's friend, he did not dare neglect him.

"Yes, sir. If you need anything, please feel free to say so."

"It's like this. I need some cold drinks and ice cream."

Liu Tao muttered to himself, He's just buying cold drinks and ice cream. Does he need to ask me about that?

"No problem. We have every brand of cold drinks and ice cream you could want. I'll help you choose."

"No, no, you misunderstood."

Lin Fei hurriedly added, "I need a rather large quantity. I have 300,000 yuan on hand. Do you have that much stock?"

Wu Yuqing and Liu Tao were both stunned. To them, 300,000 yuan was not a large sum.

But 300,000 yuan worth of cold drinks and ice cream was a considerable amount of merchandise.

What puzzled them most was that summer had already ended. What did Lin Fei need so much cold drink and ice cream for?

If he planned to eat it himself, he would not finish it even by next summer.

If he intended to sell it, the peak sales season had already passed.

"Sir, all the cold drinks and ice cream we have here combined are only worth tens of thousands of yuan."

"We truly don't have 300,000 yuan worth of goods here, but I can help you arrange a transfer from elsewhere."

That was exactly what Lin Fei wanted to hear. If Wu Yuqing had not been beside him, then without giving Manager Liu some benefit, the man would have been too lazy to bother with this matter.

"That's wonderful. I need them urgently. It would be best if they could be delivered today."

Wu Yuqing asked, "Lin Fei, are you planning to do wholesale business?"

"With so much merchandise, do you have your own cold storage facility? Drinks are manageable—you only need an ordinary warehouse. But if the ice cream isn't kept in cold storage, it'll melt."

This was precisely the problem troubling Lin Fei at the moment.

Now was also the time to lay his cards on the table.

"Yuqing, I know you've been following me because of your father's illness."

"If I can help cure your father, would you be willing to do me a favor?"

Wu Yuqing's expression became somewhat excited. This was exactly what she had wanted to hear.

"You can find that old miracle doctor?"

"At the hospital, I didn't tell the truth. Actually, that old miracle doctor saved me because he took a liking to me and wanted me to become his disciple."

The old miracle doctor did not exist, but obtaining another Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill should not be difficult.

The premise was that he first had to complete a transaction with Thousand Gold Pavilion.

"Within three days, I will definitely ask him to help treat your father."
