Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 272 - 153: [Body Building Treadmill]

Sent off Du Jun and his group.

Jiang Tao also left work with Third Brother.

When they drove back to the building in Bai Gezhuang District, it was only a little after 4 PM, not even 5 o’clock.

Getting out of the car, Jiang Bing jogged around the front to Jiang Tao and held out his hand:

"Second Brother, it’s still early. I’m going over to our factory to have a look. I’ve never been there before."

"Go ahead, turn left when you leave, go straight until you see the industrial park sign, then turn in."

"If you can’t find it, just call our parents."

Jiang Tao casually tossed the car keys to Third Brother and turned to walk toward the entrance of the building.

When he got home upstairs, Xu Li was holding a green shopping bag, about to head out.

"Honey, why are you back from work so early today? Come with me to the supermarket."

Seeing Jiang Tao come home from work, Xu Li’s face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and she joyfully hugged his arm.

Lately, nourished by love and affection, Xu Li looked radiant and captivating.

With such a beautiful wife, Jiang Tao naturally wasn’t comfortable letting her go out alone.

Besides, seeing Xu Li so enthusiastic, he didn’t want to dampen her mood.

"Alright~ let’s go!"

Jiang Tao had to put off dealing with the treadmill and turned to accompany Xu Li downstairs.

All the way, Xu Li clung to Jiang Tao’s arm, chatting about various things that happened today.

Her mother called to say she won over 3,000 playing mahjong last night.

Her younger sister, after half a day’s internship, just quit the job.

Her father, nearing retirement, surprisingly got a promotion and a raise. It was just the usual family chit-chat.

The two of them talked while walking, and they soon arrived at Jingkelong Supermarket outside the community.

Jiang Tao pushed a shopping cart, and Xu Li held his arm as they entered the supermarket together.

"Wow, why are there so many people today?"

Upon entering and seeing the bustling crowd in the supermarket, Jiang Tao was a bit surprised.

Xu Li explained with a smile, "Today is March 4th, and Jingkelong Supermarket is celebrating its 15th-anniversary event."

"Everything in the supermarket has various discounts, and for every 188 spent, you can participate in a raffle."

"Shopping raffle?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.

The Mercedes GLS he was driving now was won in a New Year’s promotion raffle at Du Enan’s family mall.

"Yeah, some people were distributing flyers about it at the supermarket today, I saw it."

"The first prize is a Jingkelong Supermarket shopping card worth 4,999 yuan."

"The second prize is a 3,000 yuan electric scooter."

"Coincidentally, we’re short of one. If we win, we wouldn’t need to buy one."

"The third prize seems to be a Xiaomi phone worth over 2,000, the fourth is a vacuum cleaner, and I forgot the rest."

Xu Li eagerly shared what she knew with Jiang Tao.

"No wonder there are so many people. If the foot traffic is like this every day, it would make a fortune."

Looking at the bustling shoppers in the supermarket.

Jiang Tao thought of the supermarket he bought from Xu Jiantao for 350,000 yuan.

After taking over the supermarket, he handed it over to his older brother Jiang He and sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan to manage.

Until they recoup the 350,000 investment cost, he takes a dividend of 50% of the net profit as dry shares.

Once the 350,000 investment cost is recovered, his dry shares will decrease to 10%.

After 10 years, he completely exits the dividends.

His brother isn’t much of a talker; lately, sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan has called Jiang Tao a few times.

The supermarket there is steady and improving, basically returning to the profitability levels before Xu Jiantao had problems.

Daily net profits are around 2,500 yuan, almost matching how much she used to make selling pancakes all month with early starts and late finishes.

Conservatively estimated, that supermarket brings in a profit of around 70,000 yuan.

Big brother and sister-in-law take home over 30,000 yuan, much better than their previous exhausting hustle for money.

"When poor, maintain personal integrity; when rich, help the world."

Jiang Tao hasn’t reached the point of helping the world, but he can certainly help his own brother.

Watching his brother and sister-in-law nearly work themselves to the bone for money around New Year’s, he felt really bad.

Besides parents and kids, siblings are the closest family relationships in the world.

If he doesn’t help his own brother, who will?

As he pushed the shopping cart with Xu Li down the supermarket aisles, Jiang Tao’s thoughts drifted far away.

"Honey, let’s buy some walnuts to boost our daughter’s brain power."

"Her little head is constantly focused on playing and her grades are far behind her classmates in class."

Xu Li’s remark pulled Jiang Tao’s thoughts back from the supermarket at home.

Hearing Xu Li inadvertently mention their daughter’s academic performance, Jiang Tao took the opportunity to suggest:

"By the way, honey, do you think we should find Xiao Xue a tutor?"

"What a coincidence, hubby, I was also going to discuss this with you."

"Our Xiao Xue is quite smart, but her foundation is weak."

"This year she’ll be starting first grade, I’ve been considering whether to get her a tutor to solidify her basics."

"I think Teacher Jiang is really good and pays a lot of attention to our Xiao Xue."

"Besides, Xiao Xue likes her so much."

"If we could have her as a tutor for Xiao Xue, it’d be perfect."

Jiang Tao was pleased after hearing Xu Li’s words.

On the way home today, he was thinking about how to bring up hiring Jiang Yi as a tutor for their daughter with Xu Li.

And now, he only started the conversation, and Xu Li had already said the rest!
