Chapter 94: Full Warehouse
Chapter 94: Full Warehouse
As the saying goes, a secret is no longer a secret once a second person knows it. Sure enough, less than three days later, counselor Dai Xiaoguang came looking for him.
"Teacher Dai? You were looking for me?"
"Huang Xiaochuan, I heard you brought a cell phone to school?"
When Huang Xiaochuan heard this, he was shocked to learn that some big mouth had spread the word, even alarming the counselor.
Huang Xiaochuan readily admitted, "Yes! My uncle left it with me mainly because he has some business in Shanghai, and sometimes I have to help him with his foreign trade business."
Dai Xiaoguang didn't intend to beat around the bush with Huang Xiaochuan. He said directly, "You brought something so valuable to school. What if you lose it? I suggest you quickly notify your family to come and take it back."
Huang Xiaochuan knew what was good for him, and of course, he wouldn't return the gift. If his mother found out, things would get really messed up. However, university professors generally don't call parents, so he agreed first.
"Teacher Dai, I understand. Don't worry! I'll contact my family right away to bring this thing back."
Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan readily agreed, Dai Xiaoguang thought this student was easy to communicate with! He patted Huang Xiaochuan on the shoulder and left satisfied.
The news spread quickly, and soon almost the entire economics department knew about it; it was even mentioned in departmental meetings.
For a time, several roommates in dormitory 222 were approached by girls every day, who wanted to get to know Huang Xiaochuan through them. Some even went so far as to ask Huang Xiaochuan for his phone number.
Sang Weihong soon learned about this as well. She happened to see Dai Xiaoguang talking to Huang Xiaochuan and lingered nearby for a while.
After Dai Xiaoguang left, she quietly ran up behind Huang Xiaochuan with her textbooks and suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"stop!"
Huang Xiaochuan subconsciously turned around and saw Sang Weihong holding textbooks and smiling at him.
"Senior, this person is terrifying!"
"Look at your cowardly nature, you're so tall and strong, how come you're so timid?" Sang Weihong took the opportunity to belittle Huang Xiaochuan.
"Being tall doesn't mean you're brave? What kind of logic is that?"
Sang Weihong stopped joking with Huang Xiaochuan and asked directly, "Hey! I heard you brought a cell phone worth tens of thousands of yuan to school?"
"What the heck! You knew about this? No way! I'm going to go back to the dorm and give my roommates a good beating to find out which blabbermouth told me all this."
"Is this true?" Sang Weihong was also unsettled after hearing Huang Xiaochuan admit it to her own ears.
Helpless, Huang Xiaochuan had to explain again: "My uncle left it with me. He has business in Shanghai, and with me here, he doesn't need to go to Shanghai so often. I can run errands for him."
"What kind of business does your uncle do?"
"Their factory received a foreign trade order and needs to deal with the foreign trade company frequently. I know all the people in the foreign trade company, so I only need to make one trip for any big or small matters."
"Oh, I see. It seems this order is quite large. Otherwise, would your uncle be willing to leave such an expensive item with you?"
"It's not small, probably a few million!"
Sang Wei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Dollar?"
Huang Xiaochuan quickly waved his hand: "There's not that much. I'm talking about Japanese yen. It's a total of over three million US dollars, which is more than ten million yen."
Sang Weihong patted her chest: "That's pretty impressive."
Huang Xiaochuan quickly looked away. When his senior touched his chest just now, it was obvious that it was very elastic.
"What does your counselor want with you?"
Huang Xiaochuan shrugged: "What else could it be? They told me to call my family to come over and take this thing back home, saying it's not safe for me to leave it at school."
After saying that, he patted the bag on his chest.
"Your counselor is right. Aren't you afraid of losing something worth tens of thousands of yuan? Return it immediately. If this thing is with me, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, senior is right!"
Sang Weihong then asked, "Where are you planning to go now?"
Huang Xiaochuan paused for a moment before saying, "I'm going out to buy some things."
Sang Weihong's face lit up with joy: "Really? I was just about to go out to buy some things, shall we go together?"
Huang Xiaochuan quickly waved his hand: "Senior, what I want to buy is not what you want to buy. We're not going together."
Sang Weihong looked puzzled: "How do you know the things I bought are different from yours?"
Huang Xiaochuan thought to himself, "Isn't that obvious? I'm going to the stamp market to check out the prices, not to the shopping mall you're thinking of to buy daily necessities."
Huang Xiaochuan quickly made up an excuse: "Senior, I have a childhood friend who studies on Fenyang Road. I already told him that I would go out with him to buy some things today. What a coincidence!"
"Alright! Since you've already made plans with them, you definitely can't stand them up. Is your childhood friend a girl?" Sang Weihong subtly probed.
Huang Xiaochuan casually replied, "It's a guy, a guy. I'll introduce you two sometime."
Sang Weihong waved her hand with a laugh: "Haha, then you should go quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly left.
Today is October 19th. I haven't been to the stamp market for four or five days. I've had a lot of classes lately, so I really can't find the time. Besides, the journey is too far, taking at least two hours round trip. I can't even make it to the stamp market during the time difference between two classes because I can't make it in time.
Moreover, the school is quite strict with freshmen, repeatedly requiring them not to be late, leave early, or skip classes. Any such cases will be investigated and dealt with without exception.
Huang Xiaochuan was naturally unwilling to be the first to act, and besides, the stamp market wasn't a top choice right now, since the big wave hadn't even started yet, and there was no need to skip class to go to the stamp market.
Upon arriving at Lu Gong, as usual, I first bought a copy of the market newsletter to check today's stamp market prices.
He then wandered around the market. When he saw boxes of Japanese postcards, he would stop and ask about the price. Generally, as long as the price was right and the postcard seller felt there was a profit to be made, the two parties could quickly complete the transaction.
Because Huang Xiaochuan bought JP films instead of the more popular ones on the market, no one paid attention to him, which allowed him to complete his position building at a leisurely pace.
Huang Xiaochuan has already stockpiled a large number of Japanese pornographic films. He has accumulated a total of 100,000 films, basically completing his stockpiling task.
Huang Xiaochuan estimates that, apart from China Post, he is probably the individual with the most Japanese pornographic films.
Next, all that's left is to wait. It's expected that we can start selling these Japanese adult films gradually next spring.
Huang Xiaochuan certainly wouldn't sell so many JP films at the peak of the price; he planned to release them in stages.
Assuming the highest price for a Japanese adult film reaches 40 per film, he will start selling at the price of 20, and eventually sell all the remaining Japanese adult films at a price of 35 per film.
Selling 20,000 stamps at a price of 20 would recoup all costs and even generate a profit. The remaining JP stamps would be pure profit. This does not include the 1980 Monkey junk miniature sheets and some early JT premium stamps.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaochuan thought of another thorny problem: the money recovered would amount to several million.
What about safety? This isn't the era of good public security that we see in later times; public security isn't very well-developed yet.
Don't end up earning money but not being able to spend it, only to have your efforts wasted and even lose your life.
In an era when the average monthly wage for workers was less than 200 yuan, several million was an incredible sum of money, equivalent to several small goals in later generations.
