"What are you going to do?"
Wang Yunxi widened his eyes and looked Alex up and down.
"If Uncle San needs money, I won't say a word. If you need it, you have to give me a reason and let Uncle San know."
A reason?!
I'm going to buy three good habits!
It's really damn legitimate... Hello? Is this Qingshan Psychiatric Treatment Center? Please come here!
Alex gave two awkward laughs and made an excuse: "I'm just kidding with you... Why would I need so much money..."
"Rascal! Are you kidding your brother?"
Wang Yunxi scolded with a smile and continued to eat the watermelon.
I'm not kidding. I really need the money, but you definitely won't give it to me...
Alex was on the verge of crying, but he didn't want to be noticed, so he had to keep chatting.
Xi Zi was in an especially good mood today and was very talkative. When he talked about the inside story of the industry, he was simply unstoppable.
Alex had little interest, but he was very good at being a supporting role in the conversation. In the end, he actually understood 90% of it.
The whole process wasn't actually complicated. The required things were very clear, and there were verification measures for each step.
However, there was still no guarantee that there would be no problems. After all, it was only 2015, and the industry hadn't developed for long.
Alex casually asked, "Brother Xi, have you ever helped a client with this?"
Wang Yunxi took out a cigarette, lit it, and raised his index finger with an ambiguous smile: "You can get at least this amount from one client!"
"10,000 yuan?" Alex was startled.
Brother Xi nodded, and then sighed with a sense of loss: "Good clients are so hard to find..."
Alex found it hard to understand: "Then if you fake things and the client doesn't pay back the money, won't the company go crazy looking for them?"
"Looking for what!"
Wang Yunxi curled his lips in disdain.
"This kind of thing often happens in the industry nowadays. Everyone knows it tacitly. Just don't get caught.
Don't go out and blabber about it, got it?"
"Don't worry. I know."
Alex had always been a very reliable child with good credit. Otherwise, Wang Yunxi wouldn't have said so much.
After thinking about it, Alex felt that there seemed to be only one obstacle left in the whole process, so he
asked casually.
"How do you handle the return visit? Isn't it very strict?"
Wang Yunxi smiled, as if to say: So naive.
"The store's inspection isn't that strict. Which salesman would make things difficult for himself?"
"Also, in our industry, there are specialized phone - answering - on - behalf - of - clients companies. When we
sometimes get special clients, we will look for these answering companies to pretend to be the client's
contacts."
"They are so skillful that they never make mistakes. They even sell well - maintained mobile phone numbers."
Alex couldn't help being amazed: "So powerful?"
Wang Yunxi proudly threw out a new term: "Industrial chain. Understand?"
No, no. You're the big shot!
Alex just wondered: How high the profit must be to give birth to such a strange industry?
Just as he was about to ask for more details, Alex's parents came back.
Old Mr. Wang looked at his obviously energetic son and asked curiously: "Alex, what have you been doing
today? Had a great time with your classmates?"
Alex smiled and said, "I didn't go out. I was chatting with Brother Xi. It was really interesting."
Mom immediately ordered Wang Yunxi: "Xi, go and get a bucket of ice water. We're having cold noodles
today!"
The whole family started to prepare dinner.
The cold noodles, chilled to perfection, were piled high with shredded cucumbers, slices of tomatoes, pickled cowpeas, and spicy pickled cabbage. A sliced egg and a few slices of marinated beef were added in. They were icy, sweet, sour, and refreshing, really whetting the appetite. It was just wonderful.
Unfortunately, there was no lucky strike like an "EU emperor" (a term often used to describe extremely lucky situations in games or other contexts).
After dinner, Xi Zi took his leave to go play pool at the village head. Old Wang went to play small mahjong for 10 cents a game, and Mother Wang Xiufang went to do square dancing. They all left the house.
Alex had nothing to do, so he went out to play online games with his buddies in an Internet cafe and had a great time playing with the character "Talon" (a character in some games).
He was scolded by his teammates until past 10 o'clock before he went home to sleep.
The next morning, when Alex was just waking up, still bleary-eyed and half-awake, he immediately opened the panel.
Taking a quick look, he let out a big sigh of relief.
Phew, the system was still there. It wasn't a dream!
Just as he was about to close the panel, his eyes suddenly froze, and he was wide awake in an instant.
There, lying neatly in the system mall, was an item - the Habit Cultivation Instrument!
Damn it!
Why hadn't it been refreshed?!
He directly asked the system and got the explanation: Since the system mall was opened for the first time, the refresh function would only be officially activated after a complete natural week had passed.
How damn user-friendly!
In other words, the [Habit Cultivation Instrument] would stay in the mall for a full week and wouldn't be refreshed until zero o'clock next Monday.
Alex was overjoyed and danced around for a while. Then, suddenly, he froze.
Wait!
Money!
With the second-level system, he was getting a daily payout of over 2,700 yuan, but it would still take 11 days to save up 30,000 yuan!
Shit! s**t! s**t!
Finally, there was another chance, and he definitely couldn't let it slip this time!
Anxiously pacing around in circles, Alex suddenly remembered the chat with Brother Xi yesterday, and an idea popped into his head.
Small credit loans!
As long as he could get one approved, a single loan would be enough!
And there was plenty of time. Under favorable circumstances, the loan could be disbursed the next day or even on the same day!
Alex immediately rushed back to his bedroom, picked up a notebook and a pen, and started to sort out the process.
After listing steps one, two, three, four, and five, Alex realized that the biggest problem was... age and identity.
According to what Brother Xi had said, no company would lend money to a high school graduate.
Although it was said that being 18 years old was enough, in reality, it was basically impossible for anyone under 20 years old to get a loan.
Moreover, one must have a formal job. Civil servants and those in public institutions were preferred, and for ordinary jobs, at least three insurances and one housing fund were required.
So, Alex's own ID card definitely wouldn't work.
Unless...
A spark of excitement flashed in Alex's eyes. He immediately rushed into his parents' bedroom and rummaged through the junk drawer to pull out an ID card.
Name: Liu Dapeng
Age: 22 years old
The place of origin and ID number are omitted here.
Yes!
Liu Dapeng, now named Liu Yupeng, was Alex's cousin, the only son of his aunt's family.
Brother Dapeng was in the special economic zone. For some reason, his household registration had been moved once, and his name, address, and everything had been changed.
At that time, it happened to be a chaotic period for household registration management. Things were done through acquaintances. As a result, the old ID card that should have been invalidated was not taken back and had been kept by Wang Xiufang all along. And it could still be used normally.
When Alex didn't have his own ID card yet, he secretly used Brother Dapeng's ID card to surf the Internet in Internet cafes, and there had never been any problems.
The biggest problem was solved!
Theoretically, the possibility of getting a small credit loan had been established.
Next, he would have to proceed with caution, sort out all the details clearly and thoroughly, and turn this possibility into a victory!
Alex was in a state of extreme delight and excitement, trembling all over with eagerness.
A high school graduate who had just put down his textbooks was completely ignorant about everything outside of academics.
He used to talk about "how complex the society is" all the time, but actually, which high school student really knew which way the door of society opened?
Yesterday he was still playing games carefree, and today he had to face such a significant matter. How could he not be thrilled?
At the very first moment, Alex wanted to ask Brother Xi for help.
But then he immediately thought: No way! Would Brother Xi accompany me in this crazy thing? He would surely go and tell my parents!
Alright, he could only rely on himself.
Alex was like a fearless new-born calf. Realizing that he could only depend on himself, he quickly gathered his thoughts and started making a plan.
As his ideas in mind became clearer and clearer, Alex's determination grew stronger and stronger.
He had to do it!
There were three reasons.
First, he must get the [Habit Cultivation Instrument].
Although Alex had only a vague and superficial understanding of the power of habits, there was an inner sense of urgency urging him: Don't miss it!
The mystery and power of the system made Alex firmly believe that this so-called habit cultivation was definitely not as simple as washing hands before meals!
Second, he could upgrade the system in advance.
If he could get the loan in two or three days, he could immediately upgrade the system and then use the salary from breathing to pay it back slowly.
Just in the early stage, he could save 10 to 12 days all of a sudden. The salary from breathing alone could be 30,000 to 40,000 yuan more, which was completely enough to cover the loan interest.
It was like spending the future salary in advance and getting a promotion and a raise ahead of time.
This method couldn't be used by ordinary people at all. Because every penny was their hard-earned income. Not only was there no benefit, but they also had to bear such high interest for nothing. How stupid was that?
Only in Alex's extremely special situation, not only was he not afraid of the high interest, but he could also make a profit. It was really amazing.
Using other people's money to upgrade his own system. Was there anything more pleasant than this?
There wasn't!
Third, it could be regarded as a self-training for himself.
Just getting the God-like Tycoon System didn't mean he would become a tycoon immediately.
As a poor student, full of the aura of a poor guy, if not now, when should he train himself?
If he succeeded, there would be benefits. If he failed, there would be no negative impact. It was full of challenges but without any danger...
How interesting was that?
...
One, two, three. With such sufficient reasons, just do it!
