[Holy shit! Itâs truly Chen Xixi!]
[No wonder Chen Xixi didnât spend a penny! This is really a zero-cost purchase!]
The mobile screen displayed orders from the Pinduoduo platform.
And all the orders werenât paid for because the platform has a zero-cost ordering mode, where you can use now and pay later.
Chen Xixi mastered this, first getting the goods for zero yuan to sell, and when the platform charges, the show would have already ended.
[Isnât this just making money out of thin air? Amazing, Chen Xixi!]
[But doesnât she still have to pay eventually? The platform will auto-debit in a few days, itâs not really spending zero money!]
[By the time they debit, the show would have ended. Chen Xixi is using the pay later model to her advantage, then selling goods to make money. As long as the money is in her phone during the recording, itâs similar to the platformsâ consumer lending model where you use first and pay later; they just call it a zero-cost order.]
The payment on lending platforms is a matter of timing, just as using now and paying later is for zero-cost orders; theyâre similar in meaning, but the terminology is quite important.
So, Chen Xixiâs maneuver canât really be called borrowing, itâs more about her being smart and exploiting the platformâs benefits for her own gain.
Qian Yue thought this girl was incredibly crafty for using this to her advantage!
Zheng He quickly leaned over to see what method Chen Xixi used to buy all this random junk, and after seeing it, Zheng He was so anxious that he slapped his thigh!
Why hadnât he thought of this method before!
But it was too late for him to use this method now since ordering and shipping take two to three days, and by the time he receives the goods to sell them, the show would be over.
Forget it, no worries, heâs soon going to land a little rich girl who could fork out fifty thousand yuan. And if fifty thousand isnât enough, heâll just ask for another hundred thousand from her!
He couldnât believe he wouldnât be able to outdo Chen Xixi!
Besides, how much could Chen Xixi possibly make from selling that trash? It wouldnât pose any threat to him at all!
Thinking this, Zheng He felt much better.
He slowly stood up, hands in pockets, and overlooking Chen Xixi with an arrogant air, his lips curled up: âKeep it up, Iâm going back to sleep!â
After a nap, heâd be ready to freeload a dinner at a park matchmaking event!
Itâs tough to mooch off Han Qianyi now, otherwise he wouldnât have resorted to hitting up the matchmaking scene.
This morning when he mentioned having breakfast together, Han Qianyi must have messed up somewhere because she flatly refused and didnât buy him breakfast either.
He was sure Chen Xixi must have schemed behind his back, now the relationship between Han Qianyi and Chen Xixi felt very off to him.
But a person like Han Qianyi wasnât much use to him; not smart either. Even if she sided with Chen Xixi, it wouldnât pose any threat to him.
Besides, it didnât matter now that he had a rich âsisterâ. Not being able to scavenge from Han Qianyi didnât bother him.
Chen Xixi chuckled.
Sleep then! Just look at his conceited air!
But whenever Zheng He started acting cocky, Chen Xixi knew that guy must have figured out some other way to make money.
Otherwise, Zheng He would never be so smug.
Chen Xixi finished inflating all the balloons, so she carried a bunch of balloons in her left hand and a large plastic bag filled with various toys in her right hand.
Today is the weekend, and there are many people on the streets; she first visited various shopping mall entrances, then hamburger shops and parks.
These places are frequented by children, so by mid-morning, most of the stuff she was carrying was nearly gone.
The balloons, which she wholesaled from Pinduoduo for about one yuan each, were being sold for ten yuan each, and the rest of the knick-knacks, also purchased from Pinduoduo for one or two yuan due to random shipment styles, were also cheap to stock and profitable to sell.
In no time, she had made several hundred dollars.
[Wow! I never knew people selling balloons by the roadside could make so much money!]
[I used to look down on those street vendors, it seems my perspective was too narrow! Considering this, it feels like they earn more than what I make from my job!]
[This kind of stuff is really profitable, actually the cheaper and more unassuming the goods, the higher the profit margins. Selling cheap, sourcing cheap, once sales volume picks up, making one to two thousand in a day is effortless!]
[Why does making money seem so easy for others! Why do I feel itâs so hard to earn money when it comes to myself!]
[But Chen Xixi also worked hard all morning, itâs not easy in this hot weather!]
[Yes! Working so hard, and Iâm not even sure if she can win, because seeing Zheng He brag like that, I always have a bad premonition, Iâm a bit worried for Chen Xixi.]
[Me too, when Zheng He brags, there must be some moneymaking scheme, and to make him show off like that, it must be a significant amount of money, probably more than what Chen Xixi makes!]
[Everyone relax, according to the usual âZheng Heâs Lawâ, whenever he starts bragging, misfortune isnât far away, so donât worry too much!]
Almost one in the afternoon, Chen Xixiâs street vending career was nearly coming to an end, and while she was resting in the park, she suddenly noticed that the space in front of her, which had been empty, was now full of people.
Driven by curiosity, she went over to take a look and discovered it was a matchmaking event.
Among them was a woman, speaking aloud and angrily: âWhich useless fellow took all our matchmaking materials! How utterly immoral! Are you really that desperate for some scrap paper money!!!â
Normally they would use these materials to get to know each other, but now the string that used to hold the matchmaking materials was completely bare, nothing left!
Chen Xixi remembered seeing Zheng He that morning, holding a stack of papersâ¦
At this moment, Zheng He, who was in the midst of the crowd, also heard the womanâs angry shouts and didnât dare to make a sound.
He was afraid if he admitted it, he would be torn to pieces by the women on the spot!
The woman scolded a few more times, then other women advised, âForget it! Let the young people get to know each other on the spot, after all, arenât they all here already!â
Since everyone was present, they couldnât cancel the matchmaking event just because they lacked the materials; everyone had gone through a lot of effort to coax their children into coming.
Soon, the socially anxious youths began their reluctant matchmaking under the guidance of their assertive elders.
Those who come to matchmaking events typically have high standards; otherwise, they wouldnât be single for so long, but having high standards is one thing, not recognizing their own status is another; those who are unattractive and have high expectations also make up a large part.
Thus, someone like Zheng He, who was quite average-looking, quickly became popular among the women.
However, those who recognized Zheng He as a 5G internet persona didnât rush; a few who werenât much into the online scene appeared quite interested in Zheng He.
From a distance, Chen Xixi also spotted Zheng He; she saw him talking with two women and then walked away with one of them.
Driven by curiosity, Chen Xixi followed them.
