Chapter 78

“The acquisition of ginger shoots cost a total of 1.74 million, plus the cold storage fees and wastage of the past few days, which adds up to 30 thousand Yuan.”

“So, our total cost comes to 1.77 million!”

Li Jinwen sat on the bed, excitedly pressed a sequence of numbers on the calculator, and then looked up to ask, “Honey, how much did you sell them for today?”

Lin Mo’s lips curved up slightly, proudly saying, “8 Yuan 32 fen.”

That’s right.

All of Lin Mo’s ginger shoots were already privately sold in bulk. The ones who came to negotiate the purchase weren’t the wholesalers and merchants from the wholesale market, but the big boss of North City District’s wholesale market.

The prices offered by them, who dealt directly with Rakshasa City’s major supermarkets, were actually quite good too, much higher than the current market price.

If they went by the Intelligence System’s report that the maximum wholesale price of the ginger shoots could reach 9.25 Yuan, they could have waited and definitely made more money that was unquestionable.

But the key issue was, if they waited another two days to sell at the highest price, Lin Mo would likely have to run around the market again, wasting time. And in truth, he wouldn’t earn much more.

Moreover, the bulk of his profits were in the future’s market for ginger shoots,

Instead of fixating on a small additional profit, it made more sense to spend time exploring the Intelligence System.

Just one piece of good intelligence for making money, and the funds at hand could easily double. That’s what truly warranted investing effort.

“8.32 times 300 tons… that’s 600,000 jin… equals 4.99 million????”

Li Jinwen looked at the number on the calculator in disbelief. For a moment, she doubted her own eyes, and hurriedly recalculated, yet the number remained the same.

Strange…

Li Jinwen was dumbfounded.

In just a few days, their savings had soared from less than two million to 5 million?!

This…

That’s enough to buy a house in North City District outright!

“I… I didn’t miscalculate, did I…”

“Five million!!!”

“Husband… you’re amazing! We’ve made our fortune… we can have our own home now!”

Li Jinwen began to speak, her eyes grew moist, and tears involuntarily started to stream down.

The feeling of a long-held wish finally coming true made her feel surreal, as if she was dreaming.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, was much calmer,

Because he knew that they didn’t earn 5 million, but 25 million!

And in just another year, he would receive an additional 50 million from the anime studio’s dividends!

Unbeknownst to him, money was no longer an issue for Lin Mo.

He’d gone from a porter who was so excited to not to be able to sleep after making slightly over 10,000 Yuan a mere half month ago, to a rich man now with tens of millions in cash!

What’s more, Lin Mo understood that as long as he had the Intelligence System, and as long as he had the ambition, his wealth would reach a horrifying figure in the future.

“Haha, silly wife, why are you crying? Praise me more; isn’t your husband amazing?”

“Uh-huh! Amazing! Amazing! AMAZING!!!”

Li Jinwen couldn’t help but cry harder, yet she was smiling.

Lin Mo gently embraced Li Jinwen, used his thumb to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smilingly comforted her, “Hehe, our good days have just begun. I shall make you the happiest woman in the world!”

“I’m already very happy!”

Li Jinwen hugged Lin Mo tightly, speaking with a smile, “Husband, I’ve always known you’re the best. Now I want to see who dares to say my husband isn’t good enough!”

“Hmph!”

“My husband is better than all their husbands!”

All the grievances of many years dissipated in that moment, leaving no trace behind.

In the future, even during the New Year’s visit home, she could speak firmly, at least no longer enduring the cold ridicule of those relatives!

“I never really cared about those things.”

Lin Mo gently stroked Li Jinwen’s back, comforting her, “What others think of me, what does it have to do with me?”

“The biggest reason I strive to make money is to give you and Xiaoxiao a good life, to let our parents enjoy their old age. 1 don’t seek luxury, but at least what others have, we should have too.”

“Stop crying. Instead of that, let’s open Anjuke and see if there’s a house you like!”

“After renting for half a lifetime, to tell you the truth, I can’t wait to have a home of our own!”

Home.

For a 30-year-old man, that word carries a tremendous weight.

It’s said that home is where the wife and child are.

But a rental can only be considered a dwelling place, because, after all, if the landlord gets upset one day, you have to up and leave.

“Sure, let’s look together!”

Li Jinwen nodded slightly, took out her phone, and began browsing through the real estate website.

Her favorites folder was actually filled with quite a few property listings.

Looking at these wasn’t for buying a place before, but merely a deposit of hope.

But today, at this moment, Li Jinwen could finally view these listings with the critical eye of a consumer.

Lin Mo pointed at a listing on the phone screen and said, “Wife, this house is nice, isn’t it? It’s close to Xiaoxiao’s school, and it’s a four-bedroom, 145 square meters. Even if dad and mom move in, it would be enough!”

Li Jinwen also seemed to like this house, but after glancing at the price, she said, “Husband, this house is more than 8 million, that’s too expensive!”

“I think this two-bedroom is pretty good, it’s a bit small, but we can buy it outright for just over 4 million.”

“You might have to invest again with that elder gentleman in the future, right? You should always have some cash at hand.”

“This…”

Lin Mo was about to persuade Li Jinwen to just go for a bigger house in one go, but at that moment, her phone began to ring.

Lin Mo glanced at the caller ID; it was his father-in-law.

“My dad?”

Li Jinwen gave Lin Mo a look, picked up the call, and asked, “Hello? Dad, what’s up?”

“Ah? You’ve got tickets? For tomorrow morning at 8?”

“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“Hongqiao Airport, right? Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning!”

“Xiaoxiao is fine, just send her to school tomorrow first.”

“Take care on the road!”

“Ah, you don’t need to bring any local specialties, I’m just happy you guys can come!”

Li Jinwen spoke with her dad for a bit, and perhaps because they needed to pack, the call ended quickly.

After hanging up, Li Jinwen said to Lin Mo, “Husband, my dad and mom will arrive at Hongqiao Airport tomorrow morning at 8.1 need to pick them up. Ask your dad and mom when they’re free, so 1 can go pick them up too!”

Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, “Okay, I’ll give dad a call to ask.”

From a family’s perspective, having her father-in-law visit Rakshasa City was a big deal; Lin Mo had to make sure all aspects were attended to.

“Right, you check with dad and mom first to see when they’re available. Then we’ll make detailed arrangements. Oh, 1 should also give Lingling a call, invite them to have dinner together tomorrow. Dad is quite fond of her.”

“Alright.”

After sorting it out with Lin Mo, Li Jinwen found Li Lingling’s WeChat on her phone and dialed.

Lin Mo also made a WeChat video call to his own dad.

Soon,

the call connected, and Lin Changshui answered with a smile, “Yo, son, you really know when to call. I was just about to phone you.”

From the video background, the family was having dinner.

Lin Siyu sat beside a rather sunny and handsome young man.

“Are you guys…?”

Lin Mo curiously asked, “Who’s that sitting beside Siyu?”

Xu Qin grabbed the phone and said, “Son, have you eaten? This is your sister’s colleague. He gave your sister a ride home today, so I asked him to stay for dinner.”

A colleague?

Lin Mo glanced at the somewhat restrained young man and then at his sister sitting beside him, who was clearly dressed up. Combining this with the information previously provided by the Intelligence System, he quickly understood what was happening.

It looked like this was the male colleague pursuing his sister that the Intelligence System had mentioned.

The young man was pretty sharp-looking; at the very least, the first impression was quite positive.

His sister was grown up too; time for her to get married.

“Brought someone home already? How come nobody told me about such a big development?”

Lin Mo said teasingly with a smile, “Dad, Mom, make sure to treat him well. Who knows, he might be a distinguished guest at our doorstep in the future!”

A son-in-law would indeed be a distinguished guest.

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Lin Siyu’s face turned red at a visible rate: “Hey, brother, can you not talk nonsense, please? We’re just colleagues!”

The young man beside her was not sure what to say either, awkwardly greeting, “Brother, h-hello, my name is Zhang Li, I’m your sister’s colleague.”

“Hello, hello, no need to be formal, relax a bit. My parents are very easy-going,” Lin Mo greeted Zhang Li with a smile.

Lin Changshui then snatched the phone back: “What’s the matter, son? Why the sudden call?”

As Lin Changshui reappeared on the video, Lin Mo didn’t beat around the bush, he went straight to the point, “Dad, like I mentioned before, Jin Wen’s parents called just now, saying they’ll arrive in Rakshasa City tomorrow morning.”

“So, get ready. Tomorrow morning, Jin Wen and I will pick you up, and then we can all have lunch together!”

“Also, since you’ve got your wages in hand, I’m planning to buy a house. Look for places around here and just move over, cancel the other house rental!”
