Chapter 643 - 643: Toy Wholesale Market
As Luo Feng contemplated his situation, he realized that if he intended to frequently send artifacts back to the capital, he would need a suitable cover profession.
After weighing his options, he concluded that a logistics company was a necessary step.
Choosing to rest for the day, Luo Feng planned to investigate poorly run international logistics companies the next day. When the time was right, he could purchase one outright.
This logistics company would serve as his current base, aiding the transport of artifacts.
The night passed uneventfully. The following morning, just as Luo Feng was stirring from sleep, a loud, chaotic knock echoed from the door.
“Luo Feng! Luo Feng!”
The voice outside belonged to Jardins.
Bleary-eyed, Luo Feng opened the door to find Jardins standing there, still cloaked in the haze of sleep.
“Why are you awake so early?”
Luo Feng yawned, while Jardins rummaged in her pocket and produced a flyer.
“Look at this! A toy wholesale market is up for sale. Let’s go see it. We can earn a good profit here! If you take over, you’re bound to make a substantial amount!”
Jia Dings was brimming with enthusiasm, but Luo Feng felt somewhat puzzled.
How much profit could a toy wholesale market generate?
And given the last anction. shouldn’t larding already he aware of his financial
capabilities?
In all honesty, when someone possessed wealth comparable to Luo Feng’s, regular business ventures would hardly make a significant impact.
Seeing Jardins’ excitement, Luo Feng guessed that she had a soft spot for toys.
Regardless, as he had no pressing matters, he agreed to accompany her to inspect the place.
Upon hearing Luo Feng’s consent, Jardins jumped up, a burst of excitement coursing through her.
“Hold on, I’ll change my clothes and be right back!”
Jardins hurried back to her room, while Luo Feng seized the opportunity to freshen up.
Soon, Jardins returned, now clad in a Lolita-style dress, and stood before Luo Feng.
Seeing Jardins in this attire, Luo Feng was taken aback.
“We’re here for business negotiations, aren’t we? Why are you dressed like this?”
While Luo Feng was perplexed, Jardins simply blushed and avoided any explanation.
“It’s none of your business! I choose to wear this!”
She pouted, leaving Luo Feng in a state of confusion.
He couldn’t figure out what was going on in Jardins’ mind.
Following her lead, Luo Feng arrived at the toy wholesale market in no time. It was the early morning, typically a quiet time, but the market was eerily deserted.
Not a soul was in sight. Toys covered in dust suggested that this was hardly a thriving business.
On the way, Luo Feng noticed that the surrounding area was populated with factories and office buildings, with no residential structures in sight.
Selling toys in such an environment seemed unrealistic.
Luo Feng resignedly shook his head, but Jardins seemed unaffected by his skepticism.
She strode into the wholesale market, and upon seeing Jardins, the boss’s face lit up with warmth.
“Jardins! What brings you here? What have you been busy with lately? It’s been a while.”
The boss was a woman in her seventies, and her conversation revealed a close familiarity with Jardins
“I haven’t been up to much.”
Jardins scratched her head awkwardly before asking, “By the way, Grandma, how’s the business been doing recently?”
Hearing her question, the old woman sighed with resignation.
“What can I say? It’s as it’s always been. Luckily, I own the property here and don’t have to pay rent, so I manage to scrape by.”
As the old woman spoke, her gaze fell upon the toys gathering dust.
“My health is declining. I haven’t been able to tidy up for several days. I suspect this market won’t stay open much longer. ”
A wave of despair washed over the old woman’s face, but Jardins quickly pushed Luo Feng to the fore.
“Grandma, this is a friend of mine. He’s also interested in the toy business, so I brought him over to take a look. If things work out, perhaps he can help us weather this storm!”
Jardins’ sudden declaration took Luo Feng by surprise.
Hadn’t he come just to look around? Yet, from the tone of Jardins’ voice, it seemed as if she’d already decided he would invest.
When Jardins finished speaking, the old woman’s face lit up with hope.
“Really? Are you truly willing to help us?”
With anticipation filling the old woman’s face, Luo Feng found it difficult to outright refuse. Instead, he decided to play for time and replied:
“Calm down. Let me first take a thorough look around your wholesale market before we discuss anything further..”
