“In the mainland, a 400-unit 10ml vial of insulin sells for 6 RMB in Yangcheng, but in Los Angeles and New York, the retail price is over 200 RMB. If we bring goods to New York, customs will confiscate them.”

“But if we go to places like Vancouver and sell to local pharmacies, it’s not illegal.”

The next moment, he smiled at John Clark, “Mr. Clark, thanks to the 5,000 yuan you gave me, I was able to make over 200,000. Don’t worry, following Mr. Grant is a great learning opportunity for me.”

The insulin trade still has to be run.

But from now on, there’s no need to rush like the last two trips. He won’t always be running insulin with Eric Bennett; now that he’s got a bit of money, he can try other investments—at least he’s got some capital now.

There are so many financial opportunities around the world… gold is everywhere, just waiting to be picked up.

Buying a few train carloads of essential goods in the mainland and shipping them to Moscow for sale is just as profitable as insulin.

It’s not easy for ordinary people to buy; the mainland is still in a period of price reform, but with his Hong Kong identity, he can exchange Hong Kong dollars at the bank and go back as a Hong Kong businessman waving US dollars.

Mark Foster was speechless, “Is it really not illegal?”

If this isn’t illegal, how can it be so profitable? Even the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers robbing gold shops didn’t make this much!

Eric Bennett smiled and waved, “Come on, let’s go upstairs to talk. Once I’ve contacted the factory in Yangcheng, we’ll go to Yung Kee. I’ll treat everyone to a good meal—let’s relax before we continue.”

A round of business handovers and operations followed, including Mark Foster making calls to contacts, investigating insulin prices and situations in various places…

When Eric Bennett had his staff book a private room at Yung Kee, Mark Foster put down the phone and said to John Clark, “It’s true, it’s all true.”

“Near the US-Canada border in North America, there are plenty of patients who form groups to go to places like Vancouver on weekends and holidays to buy large quantities of insulin. Buying from pharmacies isn’t illegal; it’s smuggling it back to North America that’s illegal.”

“But that’s a battle between North American people, customs, Eli Lilly, and the FDA.”

John Clark was completely bewildered.

The terrifying price difference still left him reeling. After graduating, he’d worked hard until he was 30, and his savings had never exceeded 50,000 yuan—a golden bachelor.

Is he dissatisfied that his younger cousin made over 200,000 in less than a week? Maybe there are tax issues involved, but isn’t it not tax season yet?

Besides, when it comes to taxes, these cross-border trades are under the name of Eric Bennett’s Wei Hing Trading, which is a legitimate trading company.

Mark Foster looked at John Clark, then at Brian Carter, and probed, “Brian, can John and I join?” Brian Carter smiled calmly, “Of course, John is my cousin, and you guys are the ironclad trio.”

Mark Foster was overjoyed, “Then Brian, if you don’t want to run next time, you can give the money to me and John, and we’ll run it for you and settle up anytime?”

Now that he knew about this, and it wasn’t illegal and made so much money, of course he wanted in. After all, at 30, you really understand how important money is.

Isn’t it just a lack of money? His relationship with his girlfriend Emily Reed is so good and stable, but they can’t get married? To get married, you need a home, and after saving for so many years, buying a house? That’s a joke.

Of course, the lack of money isn’t because he’s incompetent at work—he sends plenty of support money to his mother and father every month.

He’s still a man of strong principles, but a legal trade market discovered by good brothers involves millions of North American patients who need daily medication for life. Their little “chicken-stealing” of a million or so Hong Kong dollars? Even if it’s a few million, or tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

It’s still nowhere near enough to shake up the entire Vancouver market.

To put it bluntly, 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars is only 1 million US dollars. For an individual, that’s not a small sum, but for the tens of thousands of North American patients who travel in groups to buy medicine… it’s just profit slipping through their fingers.

Brian Carter nodded with a smile, “With you guys helping to run, I just have to wait to collect the money. That’s so much easier.”

From the moment he told Eric Bennett the news, his goal was clear. He didn’t know much about business, just a keyboard warrior in the 2020s, and really needed a successful toolman like 30-year-old Eric Bennett to lead the way.

Now, with pre-darkened Mark Foster joining, that’s another powerful toolman.

Even though the profit margin in Los Angeles and New York is up to 30 times, over 3,000%, he only took a tenth—300%.

Isn’t it just to stay within the law?

The meaning of his name, Brian Carter, is to uphold the conscience and bottom line of the Wang family.

As they make more runs, the troubles they encounter will increase. Sooner or later, they’ll be targeted by local insulin dealers in Canada, and then by North American giants like Eli Lilly.

At that point, with more toolmen, he can hide in the background and count money, even more relaxed.

Mark Foster excitedly clapped his fists together, “You’re willing to let us make this quick money, I’ll definitely remember this favor. This summer, just wait to get rich and count your money. Once we’ve covered the Vancouver market, we can go to Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and other places.”

“Let’s try to make us all millionaires by the end of summer!”

The next moment, he looked at John Clark, “John, I know you don’t have much capital. It’s okay, Emily and I have saved 300,000, and 150,000 of that will be your starting fund.”
