Under the careful care of Dong Xuebin and Yu Meixia, twenty wild ginseng plants were finally dried.
Today is Friday. Dong Xuebin got up in the morning and stood in front of the window after breakfast to observe the condition of wild ginseng. Well, it is not bad. In this semi-dry state with only a little moisture retained, there is no need to worry about it rotting.
, then Dong Xuebin thought about how to sell these wild ginseng. It would be a pity to sell them all. Maybe he would still use them in the future, eat them by himself or give them as gifts. This thing is a high-end thing, so Dong Xuebin
I only plan to sell the best 100-year-old and 90-year-old wild ginseng. The remaining dozens of wild ginseng plants are probably not as valuable as these two if they are added together and doubled. The bulk is on these two.
Woolen cloth.
But how to sell it became a problem.
Yes, the two century-old ginseng plants that Dong Xuebin dug up are completely three-no products. They have no factory certificate, no certificate of qualification, and the place of origin is so weird. If you ask for one million for each plant, who would dare to buy it?
The wild ginseng is processed by regular factories, with boxes and certificates. Piaotian Literature checked some regular wild ginseng manufacturers, and finally found a fairly large-scale enterprise, and it has a special sales and marketing point in the capital.
, so Dong Xuebin made a phone call and found their person in charge, "Hey, I have some wild ginseng here, and I want your factory to help with packaging and labeling. How much does this cost?"
The person in charge was not surprised when he heard this. Packaging was not popular in the past, and many wild ginsengs were sold directly wrapped in a box. Now people’s brand awareness is getting stronger, and many people want to package wild ginseng. The main reason is
In order to give gifts, the person in charge has heard this request many times. "I have to see the specific situation before I can tell. If you want to put our company's packaging on it and want anti-counterfeiting codes, you have to go through a series of instrument tests."
, it will not be easy for us to deal with if something goes wrong, we have to be responsible to the consumers."
Dong Xuebin understands that no one wants to take responsibility for nothing, "Okay, I'll go over with my things and let's make an appointment."
"I'll leave you a cell phone number. Give me a call when you arrive."
"By the way, how much does it cost to package a wild ginseng?"
"It depends on the year and grade. Let's talk about it after we meet in person." This matter is not in compliance with the rules. Naturally, the person in charge cannot clearly state the price on the phone.
Qu Yunxuan called last night. The company's auction is about to start, and Dong Xuebin happens to have to go back to the capital. Yes, if these wild ginseng can be successfully packaged and turned into qualified products, then we can catch up.
This is the first auction. Having such a good thing worth millions will also improve the reputation of my company, and the commissions from selling the things will not go to outsiders. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Dong Xuebin nodded secretly and immediately went to Liang Chengpeng's office to ask for leave. Unexpectedly, Director Liang was not here. He heard that he was going to the hospital to see his mother, so Dong Xuebin said hello to Hu Silian and said that he was going back to the capital and would not come back until next Monday.
, and asked for the keys to Buick Business, went home and carefully loaded the wild ginseng into the car, told Yu Meixia several times to look after the house, and called her mother, Liu Dahai and others respectively.
After explaining everything, Dong Xuebin drove towards the capital!
One hour……
five hours...
Ten hours...
Beijing, 7:50 in the evening.
Dong Xuebin drove into the city from the suburbs. He looked at the back seat and saw that there were already packed boxes of high-quality wild ginseng. The wild ginseng brought from Yantai County were all lying in the boxes one by one.
.These took Dong Xuebin a lot of effort. After arriving in the capital in the morning, he showed the things to the person in charge of the processing plant. After a series of tests, it was proved that these were indeed real wild ginseng and not artificially cultivated. See
Dong Xuebin brought out so much at once, and the person in charge was immediately shocked. The lion asked for 300,000 yuan for the packaging fee. In the end, he bargained for it, and Dong Xuebin paid for it with a 30-year-old wild ginseng.
Money still hurts a little, but he also knows that without these guarantees on the packaging, it will be too difficult to sell his wild ginseng.
In the city, Dong Xuebin wandered aimlessly, not thinking about where to go.
After the car got on the third ring road, Dong Xuebin decided to go to his and Aunt Xuan's company to take a look. It has been in business for so long, and the boss behind the scenes has never seen anything about the company, which is really shameful.
If Aunt Xuan is here, it would be a good time to have a good time with her.
South Third Ring Road, Shili River.
There are many antique markets here, as well as auction companies. Aunt Xuan's location is not far from Qiaodong.
Dong Xuebin parked his car on the side of the road, opened the door and got out, looking at the not very impressive brand opposite - Yunde Auction House. The name was given by Dong Xuebin, and Qu Yunxuan was originally called Binxuan Auction.
The names of the two people each took one word, but Dong Xuebin felt that it was too fancy and did not have the simplicity of the auction company. He did not want to bring his own name, so he only took one word from Qu Yunxuan's name and added another
Germany.
The auction house has a total of two floors. The main door is open and the large chandelier inside is brightly lit. It seems that it is not closed yet.
Dong Xuebin stood there and thought for a while, then returned to the car and held the two boxes of century-old ginseng in his hands, and then walked inside while looking around. Compared with the Hanhai Auction House in Liulichang that he had been to
, the decoration of Yunde Auction Company is a little worse. It used to be a pawn shop, but now it is not even decorated. It almost still uses the original layout. This was also Qu Yunxuan's original intention to save money.
Opposite, a female staff member greeted her with a smile, "Sir, may I ask..."
Dong Xuebin smiled and raised the box in his hand, "I want to put it up for auction, wild ginseng."
"Wild ginseng? Please wait a moment." The female staff member was a little confused and turned towards a middle-aged man drinking tea in the rest area. "Teacher Feng, can you help me take a look at this thing? It's wild ginseng."
."
Teacher Feng nodded, put down the cup, stood up, looked at Dong Xuebin and said, "How old is it?"
Dong Xuebin smiled slightly and said nothing.
Teacher Feng looked a little startled, then after thinking for a moment, he said: "Go to the office upstairs."
The corridor upstairs is very narrow, and the three people standing side by side are barely wide. Turning around, Teacher Feng led Dong Xuebin into a reception room, "Can you take out the things and let me take a look?"
Dong Xuebin put both boxes of wild ginseng on the table.
Teacher Feng casually pulled one of the boxes over, opened the lid, and looked under the transparent glass. He was stunned, and then glanced at the certificate underneath. I had only seen some pictures in astronomy, but I didn't expect anyone to actually take it.
Come to the auction!
Dong Xuebin looked at him, "I wonder if this ginseng thing is good enough?"
Teacher Feng held back his emotions and said: "Of course you can. Our auction company not only auctions antique collections, but also some famous wines, watches, or other precious items." Putting down the box in his hand, Teacher Feng opened it.
The cover of another high-quality box immediately took away a breath of air from the chest, and there was another wild ginseng that was nearly a century old. From the perspective of anti-counterfeiting, it should not be fake!
Dong Xuebin said: "How are things?"
Teacher Feng commented pertinently: “It’s hard to find a thousand pieces of gold, it’s hard to find a thousand pieces of gold!”
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "I heard that tomorrow is the preview of your company's first auction. I think it's still late. Can I put these two wild ginsengs on the shelves? And then participate in the auction the day after tomorrow?"
"This..." Teacher Feng hesitated: "It may be too late for operation."
Dong Xuebin said: "It doesn't matter, the preview is considered an advertisement, and it will be enough to put it on the website banner."
Teacher Feng always felt that this person was a bit strange and his demands were strange. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, "Well, I have to ask the boss what he wants."
Dong Xuebin hummed, "Isn't your boss here?"
"Boss Qu will go back in the afternoon and is busy with the preview. Well, please wait a moment and I will make a call."
"good."
Teacher Feng knew that this customer was the largest one at Yunde Auction House so far, so he did not dare to neglect him. After pouring a cup of hot tea for Dong Xuebin, he left the office and called Qu Yunxuan, "Hey, Mr. Qu,
A customer came here and brought two wild ginseng plants... They are not ordinary ginseng, they are century-old wild ginseng. You may not know the current price of wild ginseng. These two boxes can be sold for at least two million...
Yes, the price is 10,000 yuan per gram... Hmm... Hmm... The other party requested to attend the preview tomorrow. It's very urgent... Hmm... Is the main auction item still the Wada hosta... Oh... OK, I understand.
, then I’ll tell him.”
Being able to handle such two precious items, Teacher Feng was in a great mood. After returning to the office, he smiled warmly at Dong Xuebin and said, "Mr. Qu said, I will do as you wish. Both boxes of wild ginseng will be delivered tomorrow."
Preview, young man, we are a bit pressed for time, should we sign the contract first?"
Dong Xuebin was also very happy, "Okay, you can get me a copy."
Teacher Feng said: "Then I'll call someone to do it."
After signing the contract, Dong Xuebin left two boxes of wild ginseng here. He was quite satisfied with his company's service attitude, work efficiency and overall performance, but he did not tell Qu Yunxuan, nor did he tell her that he had come to the capital.
, mainly because I wanted to stay for a while and give her a surprise.
