Chapter: 6316
Zhang Er Mi smiled and said: "We can definitely pull it off, but we're not sure what the price will be, because these fake goods are valuable and can fetch a high price if they're made to look realistic."
As he explained, Zhang Er Mi said: "This stuff is like counterfeit money. If I draw one hundred yuan and even the village elder's dog can tell it's fake, I estimate that one piece could be worth... one cent!"
"If we can just fool old grandma selling vegetables at the market, I think one piece could be worth ten or twenty yuan. And if most people and machines can't detect its authenticity, one piece might sell for fifty to sixty yuan."
Zhang Er Mi said this, then suddenly clapped his chest and said: "Xiao Changkun, you don't need to worry about the cost of this. I'll take care of it, no matter what the cost is, and you won't have to spend a single cent!"
Xiao Changkun's eyes shifted, and he thought to himself: "What kind of old fox are you, Zhang Er Mi? You're saying that pulling off this scam isn't illegal, but when we get the money from Zhou Liangyuan's shop, won't it all go into your own pocket? If I invest five thousand yuan and make fifty thousand, that's a profit of forty-five thousand yuan. But you're not letting me put in any money, so I'm not getting any share!"
Thinking about this, Xiao Changkun immediately spoke up with righteous indignation: "Qiu Mao, this kind of thing, I can't let you take the cost for me. I have some money myself, and if I need to spend some, I'll do it."
Although Xiao Changkun only said he would pay himself, the implied meaning was that the profit would be his alone.
Zhang Er Mi's eyes lit up and he immediately understood Xiao Changkun's true intentions.
However, Zhang Er Mi didn't do this just to make a profit. He was doing it to curry favor with Xiao Changkun, so while helping Xiao Changkun get rich, he could also make some money for himself. Wouldn't Xiao Changkun be even more grateful?
So Zhang Er Mi said without hesitation: "Xiao Changkun, since you're willing to put in the cost, when we do make a profit, I won't take a single cent for myself."
Xiao Changkun smiled and said: "Oh, come on! If we make a profit, there's no way you can just let it go, is there?"
Zhang Er Mi laughed and said: "Alright then, Xiao Changkun. I'll leave the costs to you, and the net profit will be yours to take."
Xiao Changkun smiled again and said: "But we need to get this over with first. We have to pay for the goods one hand and receive them one hand, and it's a cash-and-carry deal. What if Zhou Liangyuan doesn't take the bait? The money would be like throwing water into the wind."
Zhang Er Mi said: "You're not hiding anything from me, Xiao Changkun. Even if I don't get any profit, you'll still bear the cost."
Xiao Changkun chuckled and said: "Don't worry about it, Zhang Er Mi! If I had to do it myself, I wouldn't even know where to start. But since you're my consultant, we can just package this deal and tell a story, right? You're absolutely the first-class expert in that department."
As Xiao Changkun finished speaking, he added: "Oh, by the way... even if Zhou Liangyuan doesn't take the bait, it's not a big deal. There are plenty of people with money out there. I believe in your ability to sell something off."
Xiao Changkun's words made Zhang Er Mi feel a bit uneasy inside.
He thought to himself: "Xiao Changkun is trying to get me to cover for him! He's saying that even if we can't scam Zhou Liangyuan, we'll just find someone else to scam and give the money to him? What an unbearable face..."
Zhang Er Mi was already having some regrets about taking the initiative to help Xiao Changkun exact revenge. Earlier, he had only wanted to use this opportunity to gain favor with Xiao Changkun and earn a good impression, but now it seems that if this thing doesn't work out, I'll still have to pay a lot of money. If we don't succeed in scamming Zhou Liangyuan for 500,000 yuan, I'll actually have to give Xiao Changkun 50,000 yuan to buy something and then try to scam him for 50,000 more. Thinking about this, Zhang Er Mi sighed inwardly: "Damn it! This is really damn dirty!"
However, Zhang Er Mi was also very clear in his heart: "What kind of thing is this? It's like shooting an arrow without a return arrow or having a cure for regret. Once the situation has reached this point, there's only one way to go forward - just pretend it's a favor from Master Ye." Therefore, he opened his mouth and said: "Xiao will settle down, even if we can't succeed in scamming Zhou Liangyuan, I, Zhang Er Mi, guarantee that no matter how much you invest, at least you'll get back double."
Saying this promise, Zhang Er Mi had also set an upper limit for the potential losses he might incur. In reality, he was only trying to scam Zhou Liangyuan for a few tens of thousands of yuan, so the investment in this matter would not exceed 10,000 yuan - anything beyond that would be pointless.
You can't spend 100 yuan on a fake bill worth 100 yuan and then go to a store to exchange it? That's just crazy! As for the 10,000 yuan cost, Xiao Changkun is definitely going to bear it. When the time comes, if Zhou Liangyuan doesn't take the thing, I'll give Xiao Changkun 20,000 yuan. If we can find another victim, I might still have a chance to make some money and won't be at a loss.
Xiao Changkun had just received two 50,000 yuan checks from Xiao Chu Ran and Ye Chen yesterday, with funds in his account and confidence in his heart, so he was very relaxed when he said: "Er Mi, I guess you're reliable! Let's go take a look at the thing soon. This matter should be settled as early as possible - I'll be leaving for Dubai in two days, so we need to get this done before I leave!"
Zhang Er Mi had already decided to go, quickly saying: "Xiao Changkun, since it's not too late or early, let's just go now!"
Xiao Changkun slammed his desk: "Let's leave! We'll catch them off guard!" JrNovels.com
