Chapter 16 Take turns to compete, 12 million final deal
"Three and a half million?"
These words once again surprised everyone in the pharmacy.
They all looked up to the second floor of the drug store.
I saw Xu Da, the owner of the drug store, walking down the stairs on the second floor.
It was him who raised the price just now.
"Hey, Boss Xu, are you going too far when it comes to grabbing business?"
Wu Yaowen looked at Xu Da who was walking over and did not give in. He pointed at Hong Yu and said with a smile:
"Although this little brother is in your store, he doesn't necessarily have to sell you wild ginseng. As the saying goes, the one with the highest price gets it."
At this point, he changed the subject and said:
"Little brother, how about I pay four million to buy your wild ginseng?"
Hong Yu was naturally very happy to see people constantly offering high prices to compete for the wild ginseng in his hands.
Who cares about money?
But on the surface, he still looked very calm and did not agree immediately. Instead, he glanced at Xu Da aside to see what he would say.
Xu Da snorted coldly at Wu Yaowen and said in a deep voice: "Boss Wu, it seems that you insist on stealing from me today?"
"Well, it depends on whether you have the ability."
"I'll pay five million."
He stretched out five fingers and raised them high in the air.
When the price of five million was shouted out, everyone at the scene was completely numb.
They... don't understand the world of rich people.
No matter how good this wild ginseng is and has the legendary life-extending effect, the price is not so ridiculously high, right?
However--
To everyone's disbelief, Wu Yaowen did not give up because of this, and also increased the price.
After several rounds of bidding.
The price of century-old wild ginseng has soared to seven million.
It was shouted by Xu Da, the owner of the drug store.
Xu Da looked at Wu Yaowen and said: "Boss Wu, I, Xu, am bound to get this wild ginseng today."
"I advise you not to rob me. Otherwise, not only will you not get this wild ginseng today, but I am afraid that no medicinal material dealer in Jiangling will provide you with medicinal materials in the future."
The last sentence obviously contains a threatening element.
Wu Yaowen's expression froze, and after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to give up.
The price of seven million is already very high. If the fight continues, even if you get wild ginseng in the end, you won't be able to make much profit.
On the contrary, it will offend the Xu family.
The Xu family is the richest man in Jiangling, accounting for most of the medicinal materials market in Jiangling, and has extensive connections in the county. It is not bragging to block him, a foreign businessman.
He smiled coquettishly and said: "Boss Xu, for your sake, I will give this wild ginseng to you today."
"snort!"
Xu Da snorted coldly, without any sense of gratitude in his heart. If it weren't for Wu Yaowen, he might not have paid 7 million.
Looking up at Hong Yu, he smiled:
"Little brother, the price of seven million is already very high. I believe that if you sell it elsewhere, you won't be able to sell it for so much."
Hong Yu knew that this was true.
Just when he was about to agree, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the door of the drug store.
"Who said we can't sell so much? I'll pay 10 million."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.
This is already a sky-high price.
Everyone looked toward the door.
I saw an innocent woman wearing a blue knee-length skirt, crystal high heels, a ponytail, and impeccable facial features, walking in.
Ha...this girl really found her.
However, does this ten million seem a bit like giving away money?
Hong Yu recognized the woman, it was Xiao Ling'er who had said on WeChat that she was coming to see him.
"Miss Xiao?"
Xu Da, the owner of the drug store, obviously knew Xiao Ling'er and looked stunned.
"Brother Xiaoyu."
Xiao Linger walked quickly to Hong Yu and said with a smile:
"What a coincidence. What I came to the medicinal material market to buy was this century-old wild ginseng. If I had known you had it on hand and it was so old, I would have bought it directly from you on WeChat just now."
Hong Yu said: "Sister Ling'er, if you really want it, I can sell it to you, but... ten million is not enough, seven million is fine."
Hong Yu didn't want to take advantage of Xiao Linger just because he saved Mr. Xiao's life.
Xiao Ling'er said: "How can this be done? If it is said to be 10 million, it is 10 million."
"Besides, Boss Xu hasn't spoken yet, so the price might be higher than 10 million."
"Isn't that right, Boss Xu?" Xiao Linger looked at Xu Da.
The corner of Xu Da's mouth twitched violently.
Although the Xu family is the richest man in Jiangling County, it is still far behind the Xiao family who have a say in the city's political, military and business circles.
Perhaps, one move by the Xiao family can make the Xu family difficult to survive in Jiangling County.
Therefore, Xu Dake would never dare to bid with Xiao Linger or threaten him like he did with Wu Yaowen.
But...he really needs this wild ginseng. The old man in the family has been waiting for more than two hundred years of wild ginseng to extend his life.
After struggling for a while in his heart, Xu Da said:
"Miss Xiao, how dare I, Xu Da, compete with you for this century-old wild ginseng."
"However, my old man is in poor health and urgently needs this century-old wild ginseng to prolong his life."
"Can you be kind and give me this hundred-year-old wild ginseng?"
"As for the price, don't worry, I won't let this little brother suffer."
"I'll add another million and give you eleven million."
Xu Da saw that Hong Yu and Xiao Ling'er had a good relationship, so he didn't dare to lower the price.
Xiao Ling'er said: "Boss Xu, it's not that I don't have good intentions, but I have a good friend who urgently needs these hundred-year-old wild ginseng to extend the lives of her elderly family members."
Xu Da said: "Miss Xiao, if your friend only needs century-old wild ginseng, I happen to have two plants in my drugstore."
He pointed to the two century-old wild ginseng plants placed in the glass cabinet on the east side of the drug store, "As long as you give this little brother's wild ginseng to me, I can give you one for free."
Xiao Ling'er said: "Boss Xu, the century-old wild ginseng on your counter must be far less effective than my brother Xiaoyu's, right?"
Xu Da smiled awkwardly, obviously acquiescing.
Based on his experience, the wild ginseng in Hong Yu's hands is estimated to be more than 250 years old.
Its medicinal effect is several times that of the wild ginseng that has been in my cabinet for more than a hundred years.
Otherwise, he would not have paid such a high price and had to buy the century-old wild ginseng in Hong Yu's hands.
If the effect of the medicine is too weak, it will not greatly improve the health of the old man at home.
"Brother Xiaoyu, I will pay you 12 million to buy your century-old wild ginseng. What do you think?" Xiao Linger said to Hong Yu.
Hong Yu no longer knew what to say.
Originally, before coming here, he thought in his mind that it would be great if he could sell it for one million.
After seeing the price of wild ginseng displayed in the drug store, he thought to himself that it would be enough to sell it for three to four million.
But now, the price has reached 12 million.
Even the clerks and onlookers in the store felt that their values had been subverted at this moment.
I wish I could rush into the mountains right now and risk my life to pick a century-old wild ginseng. In this way, I will achieve financial freedom.
"Brother Xiaoyu, do you think you don't have enough money?"
When Xiao Ling'er saw that Hong Yu didn't reply for a while, she thought that her bid was too low, so she immediately said: "Then I'll..."
When he was about to raise the price, Hong Yu interrupted: "Sister Ling'er, it's not that I don't think the money is small, but that it's too much."
"Actually, my wild ginseng is not worth the price."
Xiao Ling'er smiled and said: "Brother Xiaoyu, it's okay. Rare things are more valuable."
"Your hundred-year-old wild ginseng is a good thing that has a price but no market."
"Besides, the most important thing is that my good friend is not short of money. It will be fine if you get more."
Hong Yu: "..."
Everyone at the scene: "..."
Dare you not spend your own money?
"Sister Ling'er, isn't this bad?" Hong Yu scratched his head, feeling that Xiao Ling'er was a bit cheating on his friends.
Xiao Ling'er smiled and said: "What's wrong with this? I'll ask my friend to transfer money to you."
As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
The call is connected.
"Old classmate, I found the century-old wild ginseng you want. It is estimated to be more than 200 years old. It costs 12 million. I will give you an account later. You can send the money."
