After leaving the pub, Li Yi’an started calculating in his mind the information he had just obtained.
This huge price difference was only a short-term market under wartime conditions, but if he could seize the opportunity, he could definitely complete his capital accumulation.
It’s just, how to enter this market?
After returning to his residence, lying on the bed, Li Yi’an stared at the ceiling and pondered.
“The key is still to bring the goods over.”
Demand stimulated the market, and naturally, the black market was born.
For Li Yi’an, who had once bought hundred-yuan vegetable bundles, he knew very well how exorbitant the profits of the black market were.
Of course, he also knew that this market was short-lived; there were only less than two years left!
“Cigarettes, white sugar…”
That night, lying in bed tossing and turning, all Li Yi’an could think about was the black market, this big business that could let someone soar into the sky!
…
Li Yi’an was shocked by the stack of pounds on the table.
“Five pairs of stockings, each pair sold for 200 pounds, so here is a total of one thousand pounds.”
1,000 pounds!
And it was just from selling five pairs of stockings!
Is this the exorbitant profit of the black market?
While shocked, the light screen flashed again!
[Employee successfully marketed five pairs of stockings, obtaining rich profits, and entered the high-end market.
Rewarded 500 experience points!]
What!
It actually gave 500 experience points right from the start!
This is truly a pleasant surprise!
“It seems that as long as it continues like this, I don’t have to worry about leveling up at all.”
Li Yi’an thought somewhat excitedly.
After all, there were hundreds of dozens of stockings in that tomboy’s bag of goods!
Retro, seamless, pantyhose, and even crotchless, it could be said there was everything one could wish for!
Those weren’t stockings, they were clearly stacks of banknotes!
After Li Yi’an exited the system, Stanna’s voice reached his ears once again.
“Mr.
Li, you should know that I haven’t attended ladies’ salons for a long time.
Yesterday, I just went to a reading club.
There were only a few ladies there who could afford them.
However, I have already received an invitation to attend a salon.
There will be more noble ladies there.
They will definitely be willing to buy more stockings and spend more money.”
At this time, Stanna seemed somewhat excited.
She hadn’t enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars like the moon for a long time.
Even now, she still remembered yesterday when she appeared at the reading club wearing stockings, the way the ladies—who used to ostracize her because she lost her livelihood—stared at the stockings on her legs.
They could tell at a glance that the stockings on her legs were not painted with a brush, but real stockings.
When she merely revealed slightly that she had more stockings, they all fawned over her without exception, trying to get stockings from her.
After all, during the war, even if they had money, it was very difficult for them to buy stockings.
Compared to money, women longed more for nylon stockings!
“…Li, can you believe it?
Even the haughty Mrs.
Charlie, that woman who thought a woman like me who went out to work wasn’t qualified to have afternoon tea with them?
Yet yesterday she kept fawning over me…”
When speaking of her pride, Stanna’s face was full of brilliant smiles, and even the way she looked at this man had changed.
After all, it was the man who allowed her to regain respect.
As the woman showed off all this like a proud peacock, perhaps her heart was moved, and she even involuntarily crossed her long legs, exposing her long, beautiful legs to the man’s line of sight.
Looking at the triumphant woman, Li Yi’an knew he had found the right person.
And what he needed was precisely her hard work.
But to her disappointment, the man didn’t notice her at all.
This man…
Just as the taste in her heart became complicated, she saw the man pick up the banknotes, count out a few bills, and say:
“Here is a hundred pounds, this is your remuneration.”
“What!”
Stanna looked at that stack of banknotes in surprise, asking doubtfully:
“Didn’t you say that pair of stockings is my remuneration?
Why are you still paying me?”
“Madam, your work is worth rewarding, and…”
Li Yi’an pointed at the stockings on her legs and said:
“It is exactly your prize, so of course I must pay you your salary.”
Instantly, the woman screamed in pleasant surprise.
She even impulsively rushed to Li Yi’an’s side regardless of everything, and planted a kiss directly on his cheek.
“Thank you, thank you, this is the best gift I have received since the outbreak of the war!” The overly excited Stanna even forgot that she was someone’s wife.
Excited, she gave him another hard kiss; this time, it was on the lips.
It had to be said, the woman’s kiss was very forceful, and very seductive.
After a forceful passionate kiss, the woman’s eyes became hazy, her hands cupped the man’s cheeks, and her alluring red lips parted softly.
“Darling, please don’t restrain yourself…”
With that said, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she kissed him passionately.
Restrain.
At a time like this, any man wouldn’t be able to restrain himself.
Fuck, the interface popped up at this time, prompting whether to activate a skill…
alright, learning makes me happy!
Happiness must be doubled!
…
When he woke up again, looking at the sleeping woman, Li Yi’an smiled, then got out of bed, put on his clothes, and came to the living room.
The woman’s long dress and high heels were casually discarded on the floor in the living room.
The battle situation was indeed very intense!
Just as Li Yi’an picked up the dress, a knock on the door came from outside.
“Haha, little brother, you must have been waiting anxiously these past few days!”
If not Li Guoren, who else could it be?
As soon as he entered the room, just after speaking, Li Guoren smelled the residual perfume in the living room.
Glancing slightly around the living room, he immediately understood that there was a woman in the house.
But he didn’t point it out, but directly took out that identification document.
“Here, little brother, this is your identification document.
There were some setbacks in between, making you wait a long time.”
A hint was enough; those who understand, understand the favor involved.
Receiving that thin sheet of identification document, Li Yi’an was naturally crying tears of gratitude.
How could he not be grateful?
With this piece of paper, he had a legal identity and no longer had to worry about going to the gallows.
“Many thanks, elder brother.
Words cannot express such a great favor.
Elder brother’s kindness, younger brother will definitely engrave in his heart.”
“You and I are brothers of the same surname, why be so polite.”
While thanking him, Li Yi’an said again:
“Elder brother, wait a moment…”
When Li Yi’an opened the book folder, Li Guoren was momentarily stunned.
What was inside the book folder was a thick stack of money. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Where did he get the money from?
When he left the police station originally, didn’t he only have 5 pounds on him?
Before he could react, he was stuffed with ten or twenty 5-pound notes.
“Little brother, what are you, what are you doing?”
“Please accept this money, elder brother.
Elder brother’s kindness, younger brother remembers.
But there is no such thing as getting things done without spending money in this world.
Younger brother cannot let elder brother expend both a favor and money.”
Shoving the money back to Li Guoren, Li Yi’an explained:
“I won’t hide it from you, elder brother.
In the past two days, younger brother got in touch with our family’s old friends in London.
Isn’t this…”
Waving the banknotes in his hand, he said with a smile:
“Right now, there’s no need to worry about my livelihood anymore!”
A real, truly wealthy young master!
Looking at the twenty-something young man in front of him, Li Guoren couldn’t help feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.
He really didn’t judge the wrong person!
This guy really came from a wealthy family.
Just by finding an old friend, he casually handed out a huge sum of banknotes.
That stack of money, if not a thousand pounds, must be at least eight hundred!
No wonder, no wonder there was a smell of perfume in this room!
With money, does one still need to worry about women?
Looking at the somewhat dazed Li Guoren, Li Yi’an smiled secretly in his heart.
The reason he gave him money was, firstly, to make him handle affairs for him better, and secondly, to tell him—his background is not simple!
With both added together, he would definitely do his utmost to handle affairs for him!
Seeing that Li Guoren hadn’t recovered yet, Li Yi’an asked again:
“By the way, elder brother, younger brother still has one matter I would like to trouble elder brother with.”
“What is it?
As long as it is something I can do for you, feel free to speak directly!”
Li Guoren hurriedly said.
“I just arrived in Britain, I’m unfamiliar with the place and people, and I don’t know many things.
There’s something I want to ask elder brother.”
“You speak.”
“Does elder brother know if there are any channels to go to the United States?”
Afterward, Li Yi’an specifically emphasized:
“I mean right now…”
The reason he asked him was because the ambassador, his wife, and others were in the United States right now.
Li Guoren must know some channels, more or less.
“Go to the United States…”
Li Guoren was taken aback first, then frowned and said:
“Right now shipping is cut off, this matter is difficult to handle!”
What I want is exactly your “difficult to handle”!
Difficult to handle doesn’t mean impossible, but rather very difficult, yet it can be done.
Some words are understood immediately upon hearing them.
Li Yi’an smiled and said:
“If it were easy, I wouldn’t be troubling you, old brother, would I?”
