Richest Rag-picker

Chapter 308: Chapter 307: Rich and Willful

As everyone stared at the slowly approaching truck, Fang Chenyi received a call from the delivery driver.

After hearing that they had arrived nearby, Fang Chenyi sat up and looked out the window.

He had to admit, the soundproofing on this bulletproof H9 was excellent. If the driver hadn’t called, he wouldn’t have even heard the truck outside.

Glancing at Bai Menghan, who was still asleep beside him, Fang Chenyi gently pushed the door open and got out of the car.

Soon, the truck pulled to a stop in a spacious, open area.

Fang Chenyi, meanwhile, walked over with a smile.

The delivery driver, who had just jumped down from the truck’s cab, recognized Fang Chenyi at a glance. The new chairman was just too handsome. He had just received a photo from his immediate superior and thought it had been Photoshopped, but he never expected the man to be this good-looking in person.

The driver, dressed in a Red Bull uniform, jogged over to meet Fang Chenyi. Then, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he gave a very respectful bow and said, "Good day, Chairman."

Seeing this, the surrounding people couldn’t help but gasp. ’Good heavens, could this young man who collects scrap really be the chairman of Red Bull?’

’How could anyone be this incredible!’

The man in the suit, who had just stepped out of his Accord, happened to hear the employee greet Fang Chenyi and froze in his tracks.

But Fang Chenyi paid the crowd no mind, instead directly instructing the accompanying employees to start unloading the Red Bull.

"This is fifty thousand cans in total, right? Unload ten thousand and set them up at the school gate. We’ll give them to the students for free after their exams are over. They have another day of exams tomorrow, so we’ll continue providing them for free here. But remember, only start after the exams are finished. We don’t want them drinking too much of our stuff and getting the urge to pee during the test. That would be a problem."

"Hey, uh... bro... what... what do you mean by this?"

After Fang Chenyi finished giving his instructions, a hesitant voice came from behind him.

Hearing this, Fang Chenyi turned around and said with a smile, "I told you before. To thank you for your support of Red Bull, I’m giving you a ten-year supply. This truck has fifty thousand cans. We’re unloading ten thousand for the exam takers, and the rest are all yours."

After saying this, he turned to the delivery driver, who was organizing the unloading, and told him to give the remainder to this gentleman.

The man in the suit was completely dumbfounded. ’To think this kid who picks up scrap is actually the boss of Red Bull! How ridiculous. Just a moment ago, I was bragging to him about how I drink Red Bull every day.’

Fortunately, Fang Chenyi didn’t seem to care about that at all.

Hearing that the drinks were for the students, the surrounding parents all pitched in to help unload the truck. After all, their own children would be drinking them.

The man in the suit, having snapped back to his senses, paid no mind to his crisp suit, rolled up his sleeves, and started helping everyone unload.

Many hands make light work. In no time, ten thousand cans of Red Bull were unloaded and arranged in a long row in the shade of the trees at the school gate.

Once they were done, Fang Chenyi gave a grand wave of his hand and told everyone to help themselves. But he had one rule: after finishing, they couldn’t just toss the cans anywhere. They all had to go into the nearby trash cans.

On such a hot day, everyone had worked up a sweat. Hearing Fang Chenyi’s offer, they all started saying their thanks as they reached for the drinks and began to gulp them down.

Although there were quite a few parents, there was no need to worry about the drinks running out.

Soon, the nearby trash cans were filled to the brim with Red Bull cans.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi smiled and walked back to his car. He made a show of pulling a large woven bag from the back and headed toward the trash cans.

[Master has collected one Red Bull can. System reward: 300 yuan. The reward has been deposited into Master’s bank account. Please check your balance.]

[Master has collected one Red Bull can. System reward: 300 yuan. The reward has been deposited into Master’s bank account. Please check your balance.]

...

Listening to the system’s collection alerts in his mind, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but smile.

’He had to admit, this was a real path to wealth. The cans cost six yuan each. By giving them away for free, he not only earned everyone’s goodwill but also made a fifty-fold profit for himself.’

’Three hundred yuan for one can meant three million for ten thousand!’

’I could definitely do this kind of business more often. When I have free time, I can do more charity work, like providing free drinks to sanitation workers throughout the city.’

’Then I’ll just place a few recycling bins at these free drink stations. All I’d have to do is wander past these spots every day, and I could make tens of millions a day.’

’Seriously, ten million a day is three hundred million a month, and three point six billion a year. That kind of profit is higher than some entire corporations make!’

Of course, Fang Chenyi was just entertaining the thought. He wouldn’t actually do it. After all, spending all day picking up cans, even with special rewards, wouldn’t make him truly powerful.

He collected one can after another until he felt he had enough, then carried the bulging woven bag back to the trunk of his car. During this time, many parents tried to hand their empty cans directly to Fang Chenyi, but he refused to take them. He didn’t know if the system would penalize him for that. After all, the drinks were his to begin with. Picking them out of the trash was one thing; having them handed directly to him might be another entirely.

After he politely refused a few parents with a smile, they stopped trying to hand him their cans and simply tossed them into the trash instead.

Just as Fang Chenyi was getting a second woven bag from the back of his car to collect more cans, the man in the suit sidled up to him with a fawning expression.

"Hello, sir. Um, about the rest of these drinks..."

Following the man’s gaze to the truck, which still held forty thousand cans, it was obvious he was asking if the drinks were really for him.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi just smiled and shrugged.

"Didn’t I already give them to you? How you deal with them is your business, you don’t have to ask me. Heh, but one thing—you need to handle it quickly. I can’t have my employees staying late, after all."

The man’s face lit up with joy. He bowed gratefully to Fang Chenyi, promising to be quick as he hurried over to the truck.

Watching the man thank him profusely, Fang Chenyi just smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.

In the space of an hour, Fang Chenyi collected no fewer than a thousand cans, which translated to an income of 300,000 yuan.

The surrounding parents were also very considerate. After having two cans each, they stopped taking more, knowing the drinks were ultimately meant for the students.

But watching Fang Chenyi make trip after trip to toss bags of cans into that luxurious Hongqi sedan left everyone speechless.

’Is this what they mean by ’rich enough to do whatever you want’?’
