Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Chapter 16: Run, Young Man

The second day of the recharge activity.

"Ding, it has been detected that the host's cumulative income has reached 180,000. Would you like to activate the random multiplier?"

The third day of the recharge activity.

"Ding, it has been detected that the host's cumulative income has reached 260,000. Would you like to activate the random multiplier?"

The fourth day of the recharge activity.

"Ding, it has been detected that the host's cumulative income has reached 340,000. Would you like to activate the random multiplier?"

The fifth day of the recharge activity.

"Ding, it has been detected that the host's cumulative income has reached 410,000. Would you like to activate the random multiplier?"

The sixth day of the recharge activity...

The seventh day of the recharge activity...

"Ding, it has been detected that the host's cumulative income has reached 540,000. Would the host like to activate the random multiplier?"

Excitement, unparalleled excitement.

Chen Pingsheng felt as though he had suddenly unlocked the door to a new world of making money.

Over the course of the week, their fruit store's recharge activity had grown bigger and bigger.

In seven days, the total recharges had surpassed one million.

With his 51% share, his actual income was over 500,000.

That was all secondary, the key was that he had discovered a new method of making money with Golden Finger.

From now on, as long as he followed the three-step plan when opening fruit stores, he was bound to succeed.

The first step was choosing the location.

The most important thing about opening a fruit supermarket was finding a good location.

Next was to attract customers with low prices, which meant offering high-quality products at cost price, blowing up the store's traffic in three months.

Then came the most crucial third step.

That was to encourage customers to deposit money through promotional activities,

thereby using the future money to increase his income for the day.

For instance, the one million plus recharged over these seven days, if calculated based on the net profit of selling fruits, would at most earn a 10% to 15% profit.

But now he could make around 80%.

Mostly because the money had come in but hadn't been spent yet.

This was recorded as a day's income.

By this calculation, he could definitely earn back three to five times the investment cost of a fruit store within three months.

Wasn't this striking it rich?

"Activate."

Sitting in the small office, Chen Pingsheng immediately activated the random multiplier on the last day of the activity.

Two golden dice appeared once more, the first rolling to a lucky four.

The second topped at two.

[Congratulations to the host; you have gained a random sixfold increase.]

[Your Alipay account has received 3.24 million; the balance is 3.54 million.]

He was rich; he had finally become rich.

With the savings in his account plus the previous 300,000, for the first time, he had exceeded a million.

In fact, he suddenly had over three million, giving him a thrilling sensation of a poor man coming into sudden wealth.

Now that the activity had stopped, the store's daily turnover had dropped back to the normal 10,000 to 20,000 a day.

This was all normal, as customers who had recharged were bound to spend eventually.

Using the card for purchases would reduce the cash flow.

After the holiday season passed, the weather warmed up slightly.

Song Yanxi had put on a professional little suit.

A white shirt on the top, paired with black tailored pants, and a light down jacket as an outer layer.

She looked as charming as one could imagine, with her slender waist and round, perky derrière.

The more he looked, the more he liked her.

"Honey, this is the first time I'm managing more than a million, should I be extra careful when spending it?"

As the housekeeper of Tengsheng Supermarket, Song Yanxi was indeed in charge of more than a million now.

All the money was from customer deposits.

If she knew that Chen Pingsheng currently had over three million in his account, who knows how excited she would get.

There was so much money that he couldn't explain its origins all at once.

Chen Pingsheng had no intention of telling her about it for now.

Song Yanxi also worked very hard, arriving at the store at eight in the morning and not finishing until after nine at night.

All in all, she was working over ten hours a day.

But as the boss's wife, she worked for herself, tired yet happy.

Chen Pingsheng teased her, "Those houses behind us cost several million each, do you think the people who live in them worry every night about the building collapsing?"

Pulling up a stool for her to sit beside him, he said this to reassure her.

It was just a little over a million, after all.

In Capital City, a random brick falling from any building would be worth a solid million in property value.

With real estate prices being what they were, you couldn't even wish for them to be lower.

Song Yanxi gave a soft laugh, her eyes glinting as she said, "Isn't it normal to worry when suddenly managing so much money?"

"What's there to worry about?"

Chen Pingsheng seriously said, "Yanxi, after we've collected all this money from the recharge campaign, it's definitely not suitable to have another big promotion for a few months. So I'm thinking, next month we should use this customer cash to open another store."

If he didn't have Golden Finger, Chen Pingsheng definitely wouldn't be in such a rush.

Stable management was key, which meant taking time to smooth things out.

The main concern was the fear of encountering a major cash flow problem, as many people have crashed during rapid expansion phases.

But with Golden Finger, things were completely different.

Opening another Tengsheng Fruit Supermarket would be an estimated investment of one million.

Even if we didn't earn a cent in the first two months, as long as we built up the customer traffic and launched another big recharge promotion.

Then he would be able to instantly recover all costs while also making a huge profit.

This business was simply too profitable.

It was easily a hundred times more than he ever made from his street-side stall.

Song Yanxi was taken aback, primarily because she felt her husband seemed to have changed.

The Chen Pingsheng of before was always steady, certainly not as reckless as now.

The store had only been open a short while, and he was already talking about opening a branch.

That was absolutely not an option.

"Honey, are you getting ahead of yourself? Our store has just opened, and you're already talking about a branch?"

Song Yanxi felt it was necessary to remind him, "This million isn't pure profit; it's just what others have preemptively deposited with us. If we use this money to open a new store and later, the cash flow can't keep up, we'd be in big trouble."

Her concerns were valid, but that was under the assumption that she didn't know about his Golden Finger.

Chen Pingsheng smiled calmly, having already thought of an excuse.

"What you're saying makes sense, but there's something you haven't considered. That is, if we open another store, our orders from the fruit wholesale market will increase, allowing us to negotiate paying vendors once a month instead of every ten days. With the vendors' money in our hands, we absolutely won't have a cash flow issue."

This was quite understandable.

It's basically leveraging trade credit; more stores mean more negotiating power.

That's why they say the more retail stores you have, the better they run.

Mainly because various advantages become apparent with more stores.

Take purchase price, for example.

Could the price for buying ten thousand in a day be the same as for buying a million?

Song Yanxi still felt it made sense, but it also seemed too risky.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't convince her all at once, so he had to go and look for a shop location by himself.

He had over three million in his card; if he didn't start another store now, he would feel like he was letting himself down.

If he didn't start running now, how could he possibly pay in full for a house in a few months' time?

Yes, he no longer even considered getting a mortgage; it had to be a full payment.
