A lot of the Chinese students studying abroad who came here have different family backgrounds and varying personalities.

Some are diligent students, studying hard every day in hopes of getting their diplomas smoothly.

Others are slackers, skipping classes all day, spending their days playing games in the dormitory.

Some didn’t come here intending to study but to earn money by working as translators in the marketplace after finishing preparatory courses.

In Nalan Yaqi’s eyes, none of these people have any ambition.

Of course, there are also those like Wang Ye, whose minds are flexible and know how to seize opportunities to start their own businesses as bosses!

Perhaps, most people end up not becoming big bosses, but simply dabbling in small businesses.

But there are always a few who stand out and become figures of envy, or even admiration!

As for Wang Ye…

It’s still too early to say!

The reason Nalan Yaqi thinks this way is due to her mother’s influence.

She comes from a single-parent family. Her mother raised her, while her father…

Her mother never mentioned him, and whenever asked about him, she would curtly inform her that he is dead!

Her mother is a strong and independent woman who manages her own company. Although the company isn’t very big, it is more than enough to maintain a foothold in the capital.

Given their financial condition, they could have easily sent Nalan Yaqi to the UK or the US, but for some reason, her mother chose Russia for her…

Nalan Yaqi didn’t dare question her mother’s decision. Besides, being just an adolescent, she did not understand the difference between studying abroad in Russia and the UK or the US.

So, she obediently came here.

However, although Nalan Yaqi’s mother is a strong and assertive woman, Nalan Yaqi’s personality isn’t quite like her mother’s…

Having had a fairly privileged life, she has never known hardships. Coming to Russia, she never thought about working to earn money.

Just studying casually and getting a diploma in the end, to give an account to her mother, would be good enough.

Earn money?

That should be her mother’s job, or perhaps her future boyfriend’s job. As for her, she only needs to focus on being beautiful…

…

She really admires Wang Ye, who is hardworking and ambitious.

So when she found out that Wang Ye was selling phone cards, she made a call to support him.

After all, she uses a lot of phone cards, and they are kind of a necessity.

Hearing Nalan Yaqi’s encouragement, Wang Ye was somewhat at a loss for words.

This little girl is encouraging him?

Given his “actual” age, he could be her father!

If he had married somewhat early…

“Alright, how much are the cards you need? I’m exhausted after a full day, I plan to go back, take a shower and sleep.” Wang Ye spoke straightforwardly, too lazy to continue the useless chatter with Nalan Yaqi.

When did it become this little girl’s turn to teach him how to do things…

Nalan Yaqi shot a glare at Wang Ye, and the good impression she had of him quickly dwindled.

This arrogant boy, is he blind?

Faced with a great beauty like herself, he gets impatient after a few words, especially when she was trying to help him.

“Give me a hundred dollars’ worth… no, make it two cards. Xiao Hua also wants one.” Saying this, Nalan Yaqi gestured towards her female roommate.

This Xiao Hua seemed a bit shy, she hadn’t said a word since Wang Ye came in, just kept sneaking peeks at him.

Wang Ye pulled out two phone cards worth a hundred US dollars each from his wallet and handed them to Nalan Yaqi, casually saying, “Ninety-one per card, a total of one hundred eighty-eight.”

As Nalan Yaqi was taking out the money, she asked: “How come your cards are so cheap? You don’t make much profit on a card, right? Hey, don’t lower the price just to quickly sell out your cards; you must ensure a reasonable profit, otherwise you’ll be wasting your time without making any money…”

It seemed this girl has become addicted to playing the “life guru”, seizing any opportunity to teach Wang Ye a thing or two.

Wang Ye was helpless. After all, she was doing it out of kindness, he couldn’t exactly brush her off, could he?

So he patiently responded, “Well… my wholesale discount is quite low. Also, I just started selling these cards, so there needs to be some sort of incentive to attract people to buy them, right? Hence, low prices, high sales.”

Wang Ye wasn’t just blindly selling at low prices. He set the price this low after considering many factors.

Firstly, as he mentioned, as he was just starting out, he needed to attract customers somehow!

The lowest price on the market is evidently the most direct and attractive factor.

Secondly, he wasn’t the only one selling phone cards. Aside from the card sellers, there were a few seniors in school doing the same. When Wang Ye was posting his flyers, he also saw others doing the same.

Of course, these people were not professional card sellers, simply buying a few more cards from the card sellers while working in the market. They used some for themselves and managed to sell the rest at a higher price.

They sold the cards at a price higher than the card sellers, typically a hundred-dollar card for one hundred ten dollars and a fifty-dollar card for fifty-five dollars, making their profit from the difference.

However, people still bought from them because it was convenient.

Typically, students wouldn’t go to the market just to save five dollars…

Wang Ye slashed the price to the lowest, thus completely outcompeting these “middlemen”!

For a card with a face value of a hundred dollars, Wang Ye was selling it for ninety, while these middlemen asked for a hundred ten. That’s a twenty-dollar difference!

With the same level of convenience, delivery to the door, it wasn’t hard to guess whom the students would choose to buy from…

…

After getting rid of Nalan Yaqi’s nagging with a few words, Wang Ye hastily excused himself and headed back to his dormitory.

He first returned the five hundred dollars to Song Xiaogang, before checking the remaining cards and the money he had made from selling them.

It was almost ten o’clock at night, so Wang Ye just turned off his phone. Even if someone wanted to buy cards at this time, he wasn’t interested in delivering anymore.

Initially, he had bought eighty cards each with a value of fifty dollars and thirty cards each with a value of hundred dollars at wholesale prices.

After an afternoon of selling, he was left with sixty-five fifty-dollar cards and twenty hundred-dollar cards.

He had sold a total of twenty-five cards and recouped 1575 dollars.

He was selling the cards, which he got at just over seventy percent, at ninety percent of their value, making a small profit of three hundred dollars…

While moving his jaws, Wang Ye didn’t feel anything special.

This kind of business can indeed be considered trifling. It’s okay for earning a living but dreaming about making a fortune from it would be an illusion…

After all, today was the first day of business, and it was expected to be busy. In the future, he definitely shouldn’t expect to sell this much every day.

Making only three hundred dollars a week by relying on this market in Friendship University would hardly be sustainable…

He needs to find a way to tap into the market at Moscow University!

After all, Moscow University is Russia’s most prestigious and largest university, and the university with the most Chinese students studying abroad!
