Many people also came over with the intention to give it a try.
When they reached the radio station, someone hooted: "Shawn, is what you said true?"
"Yeah, don't tease us. You're a university student after all."
"That's right, that's right. He's the first university student in the district. Please don't come and harm us without making any contributions."
Looking at the people mocking him, Shawn smiled.
In his previous life, he had become the vice president of the company.
It was natural that he knew the vile nature of humans.
The Internet had a saying that was very suitable for the current situation.
The less you study, the more foolish you become.
It was a waste of time to argue with them.
Shawn pointed to an old man with a bag of wild vegetables and shouted, "Come here, Uncle. I'll buy them all."
"Me?" The person was stunned, "Are you sure you're paying a dollar per kilogram?"
Everyone looked at Shawn expectantly.
No matter what Shawn did with it, no matter whose money he used, as far as they were concerned, they would sell it as long as Shawn dared to pay.
In any case, this was just picking up money. They would treat it as this university student going crazy and contributing money to his hometown.
Shawn said with a nod: "Of course, Uncle."
Next, that person carried a huge bag of wild vegetables to the weighing area.
It weighed exactly 12.5 kilograms.
That was $12.5.
Shawn's parents were at a loss as they looked at the large bag of wild vegetables that could be found anywhere.
If not for their son's guarantee and even evidence he showed, they would have thought that their child had gone crazy.
One had to know that $12.5 was enough for two hamburger meals.
It was almost a day's worth of food for the family of three.
The onlookers were also staring at Shawn, waiting to see what he would do next.
Shawn did not waste time. He touched his father's arm and told him to give the money to the uncle.
Shawn's father hesitated, but chose to trust his son.
The pair of rough hands trembled as they handed the money to the expectant man.
The person who received the money was so happy that he wanted to jump in joy.
Seeing that the situation was real, the people around them quickly started moving.
What a joke. Even if they were working, they would not get such a high salary, right?
Soon, under the temptation of money, Shawn's truck was filled to the brim.
When it was full, Shawn asked his mother to keep collecting more vegetables while he asked his father to drive him to town.
Four hours into the drive, Shawn and his father arrived in town.
At this moment, the town was especially lively.
People were coming and going, cars were moving about everywhere, it was a lively scene.
Shawn let his father stop the car by the side of the road and found a large piece of cardboard to write on.
"Selling the common purslane, $10 per kilogram."
His father looked embarrassed upon hearing Shawn's offer.
Especially when many passers-by stared at them, the old man felt even more awkward.
Quite a number of people were even pointing at the commotion.
"Did he say purslane? This thing that's everywhere is actually being sold for ten US dollars. This is crazy!"
"That's right. I wonder where this country bumpkin came from. What kind of place does he think this is?"
"Maybe someone will actually buy it? I think this may be an opportunity!"
"Oh, come on. Do you want it? Let's not say $10, just give me five cents. I'll give you as much as you want."
"Yes, yes. My farm has too many of these things."
....
Many people looked at them as if they were watching a joke.
Shawn did not care. After all, he had lived two lives. What hadn't he experienced?
It was just hard on his father.
They did not have to wait long, soon, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked up to them with a square shaped bag.
He casually picked up the purslane from the cart and looked at it. Then he put it to his nose and sniffed it. His eyes showed surprise, but he quickly suppressed the expression.
He asked in disdain, "How much for this trashy wild vegetable?"
"Ten dollars per kilogram," Shawn said without looking up.
The news about the wild vegetables had probably not been published in the New York Times.
Very few people knew about this, it had only been two days after all.
Many of the businessmen must have received insider news and started making arrangements.
According to Shawn's experience in his previous life, after this news was announced, the purslane growing in the countryside disappeared at a terrifying speed.
The price also rose to $100 per kilogram in New York.
The people in the city did not even know that the divine vegetable, purslane, was a common sight in the countryside. Even pigs would not eat it.
Therefore, Shaun was not in a hurry. He sat there steadily and waited for the buyer to come.
That person was stunned for a moment when he heard the price. He asked in disbelief, "Are you crazy? You are selling wild vegetables that can be seen everywhere for ten dollars?"
The surrounding people agreed with him and laughed.
"That's right. This young man is probably crazy about money."
"Ignorant fool, just treat it as a joke."
"There must be a reason, right? Otherwise, why would he want to sell it for this price?"
"Reason? I think we should call the mental hospital and have them check if this person had just escaped."
"Is it really that easy to earn money? If it's true, I would have been living like a dog my entire life."
....
Looking at the person approaching, Shawn whispered, "If I'm not wrong, the New York Times will publish the news about purslane either today or tomorrow, right?"
"Huh?" The man was stunned.
His eyes instantly widened as he sized up Shawn.
He asked incredulously, "This is top secret. How do you know?"
"I guess I'm right then," Shawn laughed.
At this point, he roughly understood that the so-called purslane was very likely a capitalist scheme to earn a fortune from the people.
In his previous life, he only had a rough understanding of it.
He did not pay much attention to it after that.
According to the memories of his previous life, this purslane did indeed have a certain nutritional value and passable taste.
But because it was not picky about its environment, and it grew fast and well, the price was quickly pushed down.
But in the early stages, this thing was comparable to gold in value.
That person said disdainfully: "Hmph, so what if you know that? Your price is too high. I can get three times the amount for the same price."
Then, he prepared to leave.
However, Shawn smiled faintly and said confidently, "Indeed, you can receive three or even five times the amount for this price, but you have no other choice if you want to gain a portion of New York's market in such a short time."
"Once you miss this opportunity, the goods from other places will enter New York, and the price setting ability will no longer be in your hands."
Sure enough, the man who was about to leave stopped.
A few seconds later, the man smiled and walked to Shawn. He extended his hand and said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Jeffrey."
"Shawn." Shawn shook his hand.
"This price is still too high. You should know that even if the news comes out, the price can't go up all at once," Jeffrey said, "Moreover, the shelf life of this wild vegetable isn't long, so I have to consider that aspect too."
...…
"Of course," Shaun replied. This price might not be expensive in the middle stage, but it was impossible in the early stage. He was just trying to attract more attention by pricing it like this.
Since the target was here, Shawn had achieved his goal.
Furthermore, Shawn had other plans if he wanted to run this profit for a long time.
Shawn hesitated for a moment before saying, "$7 per kilogram. I'll give you as much as you want."
Jeffrey narrowed his eyes, then looked into Shawn's eyes deeply.
He knew that the price was still too high.
Just as he was about to refuse, Shawn saw another choice appear above his head.
[Name: Jeffrey, Favorability: 20]
[1st. This price is still too expensive. I need to fight for a lower price to get a higher profit. (Consume 50 Karma Points) (Effect: Favorability -20)]
[2nd. This young man is very interesting, and the constant supply helps me to open up the market in New York. I should agree with him. This is a win-win situation. (Consume 19 Karma Points) (Effect: Favorability +20)]
Shawn smiled even wider at the options above Jeffrey's head.
This golden finger was more powerful than he had imagined.
However, this price was too low.
If he changed it to $10, would another choice appear?
No, the initial price was $10, but there were no choices available then.
If that was the case, it meant that the function of this golden finger could only be revealed after the customer has different thoughts.
Simply put, when the client could not make up his mind.
In this case, he did not agree to the $10 price at the time, because he was very clear that he would not buy it at that price.
After the price dropped to $7, he began to feel conflicted.
Although he was a little disappointed, Shawn was still very satisfied with the outcome.
If the system was really that awesome, he would not have to work so hard anymore.
Shawn could just find Buffett and ask him to give him all his properties.
At that time, if he could control Buffett's choices, wouldn't he easily become the richest man in the world?
[Choice made, Karma Points 1/25]
There was a flash of white, and Jeffrey, who was about to reject the offer, seemed stunned.
Then, he said, "Sure, I can accept $7, but I need you to supply me continuously and steadily."
"Of course. You're a great partner." Shawn shook Jeffrey's hand again.
While Jeffrey felt a little weird internally, he quickly convinced himself about this.
Finally, he smiled and said, "You're a good young man too. I'll remember you."
"Then let's have a pleasant cooperation." Shawn was not timid, nor was he excited by the huge profits that were about to come.
Instead, due to his experiences in the previous life, he displayed the unique temperament of someone who held a superior position.
Jeffrey faltered slightly upon sensing the aura emanating from Shawn's body. The young man before him was indeed extraordinary.
He had only seen such a confident and composed disposition from very few people.
At this point, Jeffrey dispelled the last of his worries and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation."
Unlike the two main characters, Shawn's father was dumbfounded.
What happened?
Why did he not understand anything?
What New York Times? What plan was this?
Speaking of which, did someone really buy it for $7 per kilogram?
Were all the people in the city fools?
In just a minute, the old man experienced the most ridiculous shock in the world.
Except that he was the beneficiary.
Although it was baffling, why was this feeling so strange?
Just like Shawn's father, the onlookers were also speechless.
What was going on?
There was actually someone who bought such a common vegetable at this price?
He actually paid $7 per kilogram for it.
Oh goodness, was this person an angel sent by God?
All the people who had doubted Shawn were now doubting life.
"I, I, I, I, what is going on here?"
"Did I miss something?"
"No, no, I don't believe it. How can anyone buy it at this price?"
"Hey, don't talk so much. I'm going to gather it now. I don't need $7. Just pay me half."
"I think it's a scam? How can anyone be so stupid? Everyone, be careful not to be fooled."
"That's right, I also think it's fake. How can anyone buy this thing for $7 per kilogram?"
....
Soon, both parties started to transact. In the end, the purslane on Shawn's truck weighed 2,500 kilograms.
According to the price of $7 per kilogram, the total price was $17,500.
Deducting the ones that are going to wilt, Jeffrey gave him $17,300 in total.
Both parties transacted in cash.
Jeffrey pulled out the large leather purse tucked under his right arm.
He unzipped it and revealed a thick stack of US dollars.
He took out some money and handed it to Shawn.
Shawn checked the notes briefly, the amount was correct, so he gave his father the money.
Shawn's father was dumbfounded when he saw the money.
His hands were shaking and he did not know what to do.
After all, the cost of acquiring the 2,500 kilograms was only $2,500.
In less than six hours, they had gotten back seven times the amount.
Such a huge profit was something he could not earn in an entire year.
At this moment, Shawn's father felt as if his heart could not take it anymore.
He looked at Shawn with shock, disbelief, and pride.
He could not help but think.
Is this my son?
This is the son I have raised for decades?
God bless, God bless!!
As he thought about it, the old man could not help but shed tears.
Shawn knew what his father was thinking.
The old man had been poor all his life.
Even in America, the world's most powerful country, the poor still struggled.
Jeffrey seemed to understand the state of the old man.
He also admired the young man in front of him.
Thus, he walked over and greeted with a smile, "Old man, you have a good son."
Looking at Jeffrey, the old man said in a laughing and crying tone, "Thank you. Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's a fair trade," Jeffrey said with a smile, he then called for someone to deliver the goods to New York.
The people who were watching outside, the person who mocked their actions, wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
It was such a huge blow to them.
They had just said that he was daydreaming, but who would have thought that they would be humiliated in just a few seconds?
However, the most important thing now was to find that sucker.
Regardless of who he was, such a high price was equivalent to giving them money for free.
Thus, a group of people swarmed toward Jeffrey.
