Chereads / Universe Trading System / Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Brother Zhao

Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Brother Zhao

Jinlong Building is the largest wholesale electronics market in Qinglong District.

It is home to electronics merchants from all over the country.

The range of electronic products here is endless, from tiny items like data cables, headphones and power banks to huge rows of servers.

As Lin Yun entered the building, he was greeted by a sea of people.

Seeing the rapid increase in the currency figures on the Universal Trading System, Lin Yun was overjoyed.

When he reached the third floor, it took ten minutes in total, and the cosmic trading system increased by 0.1 spiritual energy points, equivalent to the spiritual energy points absorbed the day before.

'At this rate, it won't take ten days to accumulate a spiritual crystal, but the Golden Dragon Building doesn't open 24 hours a day, and I can't stay in a place with so much foot traffic 24 hours a day. It's not bad to accumulate a spiritual crystal every half month...'

Lin Yun calculated in secret.

With one spiritual crystal, he could buy a lot of things.

Walking among the crowd, Lin Yun looked at the small shops and a flash of envy crossed his eyes.

The facade of Jinlong Building is worth a fortune, and a small shop of ten square meters costs hundreds of thousands of yuan in rent a year. This is still an average place, and in some prime locations, the rent for a set of counters of five or six square meters can reach hundreds of thousands of yuan a year.

Previously, he could earn 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month, minus daily expenses, he would only have about 500,000 yuan left a year. He really couldn't bear to rent the facade here...

Renting a shop front here and then opening a factory, watching the factory's production equipment get better and better, the workers increasing in number, and the business of the shop front getting better and better... This was Lin Yun's dream!

After he had saved some money, he had the choice between upgrading the factory equipment and renting a shop front.

Because, over the past few years, he had already accumulated some customers, and he had no worries about selling the things he produced... Once he rented a shop front, the cost of the products would increase, and he would have to raise the price to sell them, which he didn't want!

Originally, he thought that once he had earned some more money and expanded the factory a little more, he would rent a shopfront here...

Unexpectedly, disaster struck, wiping out the results of his years of hard work!

Thinking about this, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel a twinge of loss.

That factory, the equipment there, was all the result of his hard work over the past few years...

It was all gone, so how could he not feel heartbroken?

Thinking like this...he hated Wang Wenchang even more...

Yesterday, he looked up the information. The kind of product that he imitated that was not exactly the same as the original could not be considered absolute counterfeiting. Even if he was caught, at most he would be fined a small amount, never that much. Obviously, Wang Wenchang played a significant role in this.

However, Wang Wenchang definitely did not expect that, in the midst of this disaster, he would instead receive great luck and gain access to the Universal Trading System!

Wang Wenchang...

There is still plenty of time, we can settle this score later!

Lin Yun thought to himself.

In front of a shop, Lin Yun stopped.

'Brother Zhao,' he said, smiling, as he looked at a young man in his thirties who was busy working in the shop.

'Lin Yun is here?' The young man in his thirties looked up and saw Lin Yun and immediately smiled.

'Quick, come in!' Brother Zhao stood up and casually handed the work he had just been doing to someone next to him.

The shopfront was very small and there was no place to sit, so Lin Yun nodded and walked in.

'I heard that you had an accident the other day? How are you? Is there anything I can do to help?' Zhao asked, concerned, as Lin walked into the store.

Zhao's name was Zhao Zhun, a very nice person. Lin had met him when he was just hanging out in the electronics market in Qinglong District and had not yet opened the small factory. The other person had helped him a lot, and after Lin opened the small factory, this Zhao was even more of an old customer.

'I've lost all the money I've made over the past few years, and the equipment in the factory has all been seized...' Lin Yun said with a bitter smile.

'Huh? How serious is it?' Zhao Zhun was shocked.

He was so busy all day in this wholesale market that he didn't know that Lin Yun's situation was so serious.

'The high-quality replicas you make... I've seen them... they shouldn't be that bad...' Zhao Zhun frowned.

'It was that Wang Wenchang who did the dirty work. He is the one who got the law enforcement officers to do it, and today he came to see me...' Lin Yun shook his head.

'So it was Wang Wenchang. I've always heard that he has a shady hand, but I never thought that he would use such a tactic against you. Everyone is in the electronics wholesale market, and he has gone so far...' Zhao Zhun's brows furrowed even tighter.

The electronics wholesale market is not big, but it is not small either. Wang Wenchang makes similar electronic products, and he also knows this person.

As the saying goes, to cut off someone's source of wealth is like killing one's parents. Lin Yun's hard-earned money over the past few years, as well as the equipment in the factory, are all gone. Wang Wenchang has really gone too far.

'Let's not talk about it...' Lin Yun shook his head.

Then Lin Yun continued, 'But I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver the batch of headphones you ordered in time. If you don't mind, I can contact another manufacturer to help you, at the original price, and the quality won't be any worse than mine...'

'That's no problem, but you won't lose money this way, will you?' Zhao Zhun hurriedly waved his hands.

He and Lin Yun have known each other for so long, and they still have this friendship. However, he knows that the things from Lin Yun's side are all relatively cost-effective, and such manufacturers are not easy to find.

'I won't lose money. The price I ordered is just that there is not much profit, not that there is no profit. I am in the circle of processing factories, and there are some prices that you can't get, but I can get them...' Lin Yun smiled and said.

'That's good,' Zhao Zhun nodded.

'Brother Zhao, there is one more thing I came to see you about,' Lin Yun said again.

'What is it? Just tell me,' Zhao Zhun said.

'I have a kind of power bank. I don't know if you are interested in selling it?' Lin Yun said.

Power bank, this is the product Lin Yun chose. He used to mainly make headphones, but this thing is too vague. Cheap ones are very cheap, you can buy one for a few cents, and expensive ones are very expensive, a few thousand yuan for one, and tens of thousands of yuan for one is normal.

Those that cost tens of thousands of dollars are not necessarily better than those that cost a few hundred dollars, and those that cost a few hundred dollars are not necessarily much better than those that cost ten or so dollars.

With many headphones, buyers are buying a brand.

He is confident in the headphones produced by Alien Technology, but he doesn't want to sell good headphones cheaply, so he plans to create a brand first.

Power banks are different from ordinary goods in that the amount of power is the same as the stated amount and the charging speed is the same as the stated speed.

'Power banks...' Zhao Zhun mused.

He mainly deals in mobile phone accessories, selling both headphones and power banks. In recent years, the rise of smartphones has been accompanied by the rise of the power bank market.

However, power banks have a very low technological content, and many small workshops can make them. Coupled with the continuous improvement of smartphone technology in the past two years, both battery capacity and charging speed have been greatly improved, and the power bank market has gradually begun to decline.

In such a declining market, most of the market share has already been fixed.

He already has a channel for purchasing power banks and has been working together for many years. If Lin Yun provides an average power bank, he really doesn't know what to choose.

'Okay, bring some over, I'll sell them,' these thoughts only flashed through Zhao Zhun's mind, and he quickly nodded.

He and Lin Yun have been friends for several years, and Lin Yun is currently in a low ebb. He wants to help Lin Yun.
