Chapter 32 -32: First Battle Victory_1
Wang Ye asked in surprise, “Aren’t you worried that selling cards will interfere with your studies? When people call, you have to deliver the cards to their doorstep. That’s just hard-earned money.”
He thought, given Ruan Xiaozhu’s family situation, and the fact she was a girl, she might not need this money…
Unexpectedly, Ruan Xiaozhu volunteered to be the distributor for the main building dormitory.
Moscow University has two major dormitory areas, the main building and the district. Ruan Xiaozhu was living in the main building.
“Hehe, how much time can this take up? Even if I have to run a dozen times a day, all the dorms in the main building are connected, so I don’t have to leave the building. It can just be considered exercising. If it really got to the point where it interfered with my studies, that would mean the business was booming. That would also mean I could earn quite a bit of money. Oh, by the way, how are you selling these phone cards?” Ruan Xiaozhu said jokingly.
Apparently, she felt this matter was “fun”…
She wasn’t really doing it for the money.
Wang Ye helplessly explained, “I have two different value cards, fifty and one hundred US dollars. The retail price is discounted 10% off the face value. As for what your dealer price would be… let’s say 20% off the face value.”
Because he’s dealing with cross-campus distribution, he naturally has to make a bit more room for profits.
Wang Ye is getting his stock for about 30% off from Liu Jun, giving it to the distributors for 20% off. He still has a 10% profit margin.
Similarly, the distributor is also getting a 10% profit margin.
Although they don’t make much per card, it’s a large volume of sales, as long as they sell enough, they can accumulate quite a bit of profit.
Moscow University has many Chinese students studying abroad, who are all relatively affluent, so the sales shouldn’t be bad.
Sure enough, Ruan Xiaozhu thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she asked, “This cheap?! How is the quality of these cards? They’d better not have bad connections, otherwise no matter how cheap they are, they won’t sell.”
Wang Ye could only explain again about the guaranteed quality, large volume of sales, not for making money but for making friends…
After Ruan Xiaozhu heard it, she said excitedly, “As long as the quality is reliable. Isn’t it if one sells a hundred-dollar card, one can earn ten dollars? If one sells ten a day that’s 100 dollars, if one sells fifty that’s…”
Her calculations were getting more and more outrageous. She even calculated how much money she could earn from selling a hundred cards a day…
Wang Ye quickly interrupted her, “Selling cards is not as simple as that. Once someone buys one, they can use it for a month or even two months. You can’t calculate it like this.”
Ruan Xiaozhu thought it over and agreed. Even girls who like to make phone calls like herself usually controlled their expenditure to no more than a hundred dollars a month…
Many boys rarely make phone calls. They probably wouldn’t even spend fifty dollars a month.
But she thought about the many Chinese students at Moscow University and still felt full of confidence!
“Did you bring the phone cards? Give me…fifty for now, all with a face value of one hundred dollars. If you think fifty dollars will make me run to deliver, it won’t work!” Ruan Xiaozhu said.
Wang Ye was taken aback and shook his head, “I did bring the cards, but not that many…”
Ruan Xiaozhu was surprised and asked, “Aren’t you a wholesaler? How can you not even have fifty cards!”
Wang Ye smiled bitterly, “Sis, you have to pay for the cards. I can’t afford to get that many at one time. I have sixty two fifty-dollar cards and twenty hundred-dollar cards left. Let me know how many you want. It would be best to take some of the fifty-dollar cards as a lot of boys like to buy those. They don’t use too many of them.”
“Right, I didn’t bring much cash. Give me ten hundred-dollar cards and twenty fifty-dollar cards to try selling. If they sell well, I’ll call you and you can bring more. By the way, you’ve never been to my dormitory. This is a good chance to show you.”
Ruan Xiaozhu finally returned to her senses when she realized that Wang Ye has to pay for cards, and so does she…
If she takes fifty one hundred dollar cards all at once, that would be four thousand dollars!
She couldn’t afford that much at once, after all, it is the end of January and she plans to go back to China for the summer vacation. So she only has half a year’s living expenses left…
Wang Ye took out his swelling wallet, counted thirty cards from it, and handed them to Ruan Xiaozhu, saying with a smile, “A total of two thousand dollars in face value, sixteen hundred dollars from you would be fine.”
Wang Ye gives his distributors a 20% discount and, of course, Ruan Xiaozhu is no exception.
Even though she’s his “cousin”, clear accounts make for good friends.

Ruan Xiaozhu nodded and counted the cards, and then she took out her wallet. She counted sixteen “Franklins” and handed them to Wang Ye.
It was not a wasted journey for Wang Ye. He successfully found a distributor and sold quite a few phone cards directly, bringing a sweet victory to his first battle!
…
After taking care of business, Ruan Xiaozhu seemed to think of something and said with a smile, “There are slot machines nearby. Would you like to go play a few hands? But I must warn you, it’s okay to play with a small amount of money, but don’t expect to get rich.”
Xiao Ying Hotel does have quite a few slot machines. It is also one of the few places in Moscow where they’re legally operating.
Many people come attracted by the reputation, specifically to this hotel.
Wang Ye shook his head, smiling, “I’m not interested in that. Even if I did win, it wouldn’t be much. But if I lost, I’d regret it.”
Wang Ye has no interest in pornography, gambling or drugs and has never tried it before.
Ruan Xiaozhu nodded approvingly, “Yes, it’s best not to touch those things. The consequences could be very serious. There are students in our school who’ve got tangled up with those slot machines and lost their tuition and living expenses!”
While they were chatting, the three girls who went bowling returned, all panting heavily. It seemed they had quite a workout!
Seeing that it was already past nine, Wang Ye got up to say goodbye, “It’s getting late, I have classes tomorrow. I need to go now. Cousin, we can get in touch by phone.”
Ruan Xiaozhu also stood up, “I’ll see you out. Next time you come to our dormitory, I’ll cook for you.”
One of the girls nearby chuckled and said, “Cook?”
Ruan Xiaozhu squeezed the girl and chided, “Stop talking nonsense! That’s my little brother!”
The girl dodged while shouting in pain, but still kept arguing, “Psh! You and he aren’t even closely related relatives…”
Wang Ye felt a bit awkward standing at the side.
These girls…
Perhaps the foreign environment might make people mature faster. By the way, Wang Ye found that university girls he met abroad where more…OPEN!
When telling short stories, they are even more relaxed than the boys…
