Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 116: One hundred million arrived!

Tomorrow is the final of the Hengyang Martial Arts Selection Competition.

but,

Chen Jie did not take a rest to adjust his state, he was too busy!

The first thing is to count the silver coins.

He Xiaoyuan's 50,000 silver dollars have been completed and delivered to Chen Jie's warehouse.

Chen Jie arranged security guards to patrol the periphery of the chemical plant's warehouse.

Simultaneously,

Several iron doors were added inside the chemical plant.

In addition, two high-tech intelligent surveillance systems have been added inside the warehouse.

If anyone enters the warehouse area, Chen Jie’s mobile phone will immediately send a warning.

Especially in warehouses where valuables are stored, safety is of utmost importance and no loss is allowed.

The Chinese medicinal herb 'wild ginseng', jade, silver coins and so on are priceless.

Chen Jie was naturally very cautious, even the security guards did not have the authority to enter the innermost warehouse.

By the time all the silver coins were put into the warehouse, it was already twelve o'clock noon.

Chen Jie has made an appointment with the steel plant in the northwest, and he will not be free to go there for negotiations until a few days later.

Take it one step at a time, don’t rush!
After returning home and having lunch, he changed his clothes and prepared to take a nap.

Just as I was about to lie down, a new message came on WeChat on my phone.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, are you there?"

The contact person's note is Tang Zhengyan.

It's him?

Chen Jie suddenly remembered that the last time he sold Bai Yiheng was a 100-year-old wild ginseng, two 80-year-olds and two 50-year-olds.

A total of five wild ginsengs were sold for nine million.

The nine million helped Chen Jie a lot, and it was also the first time he had so much money.

At that time, Chen Jie added Tang Zhengyan’s contact information.

"Dean Tang!? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Chen Jie replied.

Tang Zhengyan left a message:
"Mr. Chen, I won't beat around the bush. Do you have any wild ginseng left?"

"There is a family member of a patient in Hong Kong Island who wants to buy wild ginseng. We need the best quality!"

"It would be best if it's over a hundred years old. We can discuss the price in detail."

Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this.

this moment,
He then realized that he seemed to have gone in the wrong direction.

If one wants to sell top-quality wild ginseng, he should not look for Bai Yiheng's circle of wealthy people, nor Liang Jinhao's family jade circle, nor Rong Ji Chinese Medicine Hall.

Although these wealthy circles are very rich.

but,

Not everyone needs to use the finest 'wild ginseng'!
Only the elders in the family had health problems.

In other words, some family members believe in traditional Chinese medicine and are willing to spend money to stock up on "wild ginseng".

These are the target customers of 'Top Quality Wild Ginseng'.

The most efficient way to find such customers is to contact top professors or deans of local traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.

Their network of contacts is very extensive.

Customers who have a demand for 'top-quality wild ginseng' will definitely contact these professors.

After figuring out the key point, Chen Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He has quite a few 'top-quality wild ginseng' that are over a hundred years old, and even quite a few that are over two hundred years old.

to be frank,
Even if we participate in the auction, the shipment volume cannot be large.

It is very rare for a few of them to appear at each auction.

If the quantity is large, the price of 'premium wild ginseng' on the market will fluctuate.

Therefore,
The best way is to deal with it privately one-on-one.

For customers with needs, there will be no problem either in terms of price or delivery.

Chen Jie thought for a moment and replied, "Yes! There are still a few wild ginsengs that are over a hundred years old, but I don't have time to go to South China now. Can I wait a few days?"

Tang Zhengyan quickly replied:
"It's like this, we need something urgently, can we come to you directly?"

"The patient's family said that the price is negotiable. As long as the plants are old enough, he can buy all of them."

The meaning is simple, the patient is in urgent need of wild ginseng to save his life.

Time waits for no one. If it is not convenient for Chen Jie to go to South China.

Then,

He can bring the patient's family to visit directly.

The main point is that you are not short of money!

Chen Jie sold jadeite and wild ginseng for a total of 40 million last week.

but,

There are too many places where money is needed.

These tens of millions are totally not enough. If we want to build Ximen Hall into the trump card "righteous group" of the Daqian Dynasty, a large amount of funds is indispensable!

"Okay! Come to Shonan HY City. I'll give you the coordinates of a teahouse. Call me when you get there."

"Also, tell me the specific needs of the other party so that I can prepare. I currently have 100-year-old, 130-year-old, and 180-year-old bottles!"

"If the patient's condition is very serious and he needs a wild ginseng of a higher age, I have a 220-year-old one here!"

"I was originally planning to put it up at an auction, but since you're in urgent need, I can sell it to you."

After sending the message, Chen Jie thought for a moment and directly withdrew and deleted all the messages.

It is best to be cautious when selling wild ginseng.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is necessary!
Although he still trusts old man Tang Zhengyan.

but,

Sometimes it's better to be cautious.

In the following time, Tang Zhengyan did not respond immediately. It was obvious that he was discussing with the patient's family.

After a few minutes.

Tang Zhengyan seemed to understand what Chen Jie meant by deleting the message, and directly replied with a few numbers.

“220（+1）；180（+1）；130（+2）；100（+3）！”

When Chen Jie saw the reply, he was suddenly shocked.

What a big deal!

A total of 7 strains are needed, all of which are high-end products!
You know, the last time I sold Bai Yiheng the century-old wild ginseng was for 480 million!
According to the medicinal properties of the 'wild ginseng' in Chen Jie's hand, the price of a 130-year-old plant is at least 900 million.

The price of the 180 vintage is definitely not less than 2000 million;
What's more, the price of the 220-year-old 'Wild Ginseng King' is less than 5000 million, so there's no need to ask.

The older the year, the more expensive it will be.

That is,

Chen Jie's offer for these 7 wild ginsengs will definitely not be less than million!

"Are you sure you want so much? These will cost nine figures, tax included, or else no deal!"

Chen Jie replied.

A moment later, Tang Zhengyan sent a message with only three words: "No problem!"

Depend on!
Is this the richest person in Hong Kong Island?

He agreed to the nine-digit price of "wild ginseng" without hesitation.

Made an appointment with Tang Zhengyan to meet in the afternoon.

Chen Jie didn't rest and sorted out the wild ginseng in the room.

He did not take the wild ginseng to the warehouse of the chemical plant, but kept it in his own residence.

He asked Liu Bamei to clear out all the major medicine shops in the capital, so of course there was more than just this little bit of 'top-quality wild ginseng'!
He has more than five wild ginsengs that are over 5 years old.

Sell one plant for now and see how the market and results are?

To be honest, there is almost no wild ginseng over 150 years old available on the market.

Even if there is stock, it would have been bought by insiders long before the auction started. How could it have waited until the auction?
Therefore, wild ginseng that is more than 150 years old is extremely rare at general auctions.

Before, when Chen Jie carried wild ginseng in a backpack to southern China for trading, he would simply pack it in kraft paper and then seal it in a plastic bag.

Especially those wild ginsengs that are less than 30 years old are all packaged very simply.

but,

Now we are trading wild ginseng that is over a hundred years old, so of course we can’t be too casual.

then,

Chen Jie searched for a while among some of the things he brought with him.

I saw several wooden boxes that were used to package jade and emeralds. They looked antique and had a sense of age.

After all, these wooden boxes came out of the imperial palace of the Daqian Dynasty, so they are certainly not ordinary goods.

Without thinking too much, he took out the jade and jadeite from the wooden boxes and put seven wild ginsengs in them.

There are 7 wooden boxes in total, which give people a very simple and rustic feeling and appear very high-end.

Chen Jie would certainly not neglect something worth one hundred million yuan. After packaging it like this, it has a strong sense of age and looks much better.

Because the customer this time is from Hong Kong Island.

In order to expand the market in Hong Kong Island, Chen Jie would naturally not be so casual.

and,

As the amount of funds grew, Chen Jie felt that he still needed connections.

Every industry requires a vast network of connections.

in addition,

He needs to practice boxing to gain [Martial Arts Merit Points], so he cannot be too low-key.

Do things with a high profile and be a low-key person!
This is Chen Jie's principle of action.

Just like this time, if it weren't for Tang Zhengyan's connections, how could it be easy to find a buyer for the "top-quality wild ginseng"?
-

Five p.m!

In the private room of the teahouse where Chen Jie had agreed to meet, Tang Zhengyan rushed over from South China.

He was accompanied by a middle-aged man and an old man.

After the two sides met, they introduced themselves to each other.

Tang Zhengyan was holding a gift box in his hand and said to Chen Jie with a smile:
"Last time I heard that you like to drink tea, and a friend just happened to give you some specialty tea. I don't drink much tea normally, so I'll give it to you to see if you can get used to it?"

Tang Zhengyan shook hands with Chen Jie enthusiastically.

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment. Dean Tang looked very enthusiastic and even brought a gift.

"Thank you! Dean Tang is so polite. Come, take a seat, and let's chat slowly!"

Chen Jie greeted.

Relatively speaking, Chen Jie is a junior after all, so he naturally has to be more polite.

"I won't be polite, let's take a look at the goods first!"

Chen Jie did not continue to be polite with the other party, and said straight to the point: "You are all experts. Come and negotiate the price after you have looked at the goods." The two people following Tang Zhengyan nodded, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

They came from afar for the purpose of getting wild ginseng, which is a life-saving thing, so they naturally dare not be careless.

The old man next to him, like Tang Zhengyan, is a Chinese medicine expert from Hong Kong Island.

It’s not that the middle-aged man doesn’t trust Tang Zhengyan, but the one who is going to use the wild ginseng as medicine this time is the elder of the family and no mistakes can be made.

A Chinese medicine expert from Hong Kong, named Tan Hongde, is considered a leading figure in the Chinese medicine community across the Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong, and his status is higher than that of Tang Zhengyan.

Next,
Chen Jie placed seven wooden boxes containing wild ginseng on the coffee table.

After opening the wooden box, a strong smell of 'wild ginseng' filled the air.

Different from the pungent smell of artificial ginseng essence, this is the purest taste of 'wild ginseng'.

You can only smell these smells when you open the sealed package.

In general,

Wild ginseng like these need to be stored in a sealed container and their medicinal smell cannot be allowed to dissipate, otherwise their medicinal properties will be greatly reduced over time.

hiss--!
After smelling the medicinal scent of 'wild ginseng', several people around couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Tan Hongde and Tang Zhengyan looked at each other and nodded.

Next,
Tan Hongde took out a magnifying glass, tweezers, and a pair of special scissors.

After examining it carefully for a moment, he nodded excitedly, his eyes shining.

"Perfect! Judging from the appearance alone, these wild ginsengs are all top-quality!"

"Mr. Chen, can I cut off some roots and try the effect?"

Mr. Tan Hongde asked seriously.

Chen Jie nodded and said, "No problem!"

Tan Hongde is an old Chinese medicine practitioner. He naturally knows that destroying the integrity of the ginseng beard will not affect the medicinal efficacy, but it will cause flaws in appearance.

of course,

This is the inspection process for any top-quality wild ginseng. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment without verifying the medicinal effects of the ginseng roots.

He used a pair of small scissors to cut off the edge of the ginseng beard and placed it on the tray next to him.

Every strain needs to be verified and nothing can be missed.

There is no way. The value of the seven wild ginsengs is too high and no mistakes can be made.

After cutting them all off, Tan Hongde put the ginseng whiskers of each wild ginseng into his mouth and chewed them slowly.

After chewing each one, he would rinse his mouth, clean it, and then move on to the next one.

He was very serious and checked very carefully.

After inspecting the last wild ginseng root, Tan Hongde could not help but exclaim in admiration:
"The best of the best! I have been engaged in the research of traditional Chinese medicine for nearly fifty years, and I have never encountered wild ginseng with such strong medicinal properties!"

"Good stuff! You can't ask for it easily!"

"This trip to Hengyang is worthwhile. I was able to see seven top-quality wild ginsengs at once. It really opened my eyes!"

“Both the medicinal properties and the appearance are perfect!”

Words of praise are beyond words!
Chen Jie smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Tan, you should be able to see that this batch of 'wild ginseng' is not new, but it is not inventory either!"

"From picking the ginseng to drying it, it takes no more than three years, so the medicinal properties are well preserved."

"These are all uninhabited areas of the primeval forest, collected by professional ginseng collectors."

"You can be absolutely assured of their medicinal properties."

The meaning is simple, these are rare and top-quality products on the market.

Moreover, Chen Jie gave the other party a signal, indicating that there was a professional ginseng collector behind him.

If you need the best wild ginseng in the future, I still have it.

Tan Hongde and Tang Zhengyan both nodded at this moment to show that they understood.

but,

There was some doubt in their hearts.

Although there are regulations, private collection of wild ginseng is not allowed.

However, those professional ginseng collectors naturally have their own channels, and these regulations cannot restrict the top ginseng collectors.

What surprised the two was that there were still so many top-quality wild ginsengs in the Changbai Mountain primeval forest today?
How did you find it?
Of course, in this situation, Tan Hongde would not ask easily.

There are some things that you cannot ask, everyone has their own ways and channels.

If you ask too many questions and make the other person feel disgusted or even alert and not want to deal with you, then the result will be more trouble than gain.

Tan Hongde is considered a leader in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Hong Kong Island. He knows from the information Chen Jie just gave that Chen Jie has a channel for "top-quality wild ginseng".

That is,

If he encounters wealthy families who need top-quality wild ginseng in the future, Chen Jie will definitely be the solution.

For many wealthy people, this is a way out!
How could Tan Hongde be so annoying as to continue asking Chen Jie about the origin of the "wild ginseng"?

and,

Chen Jie was introduced by Dean Tang Zhengyan. No matter from which perspective, Tan Hongde would not bring trouble to himself.

At this time,

The middle-aged man who had remained silent all this time looked up at Chen Jie and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Chen, how much is it in total?"

When introducing him just now, Chen Jie knew that the other party's name was Lu Yanting.

The buyer this time is him, who is said to be a core member of a billionaire family in Hong Kong.

Chen Jie didn't say any more nonsense and said calmly:

"Before you came, I told you that if you want all seven, it will cost 100 million after tax!"

"Let's not talk about other things first. Just these two 130-year-old plants can be called the 'King of Ginseng' at the auction!"

"What's more, this 180-year-old ginseng is the 'top-quality ginseng king' and is almost impossible to find on the market."

"Of course, the most precious one is the 220-year-old one, which is hard to come by."

"I remember a few years ago at an auction in Hong Kong Island, a 130-year-old wild ginseng was sold for million yuan."

"I've seen the quality of that wild ginseng, and it's much inferior to mine."

"To be honest, I was planning to put these up for auction. Based on the current market price, the auction price of these seven wild ginsengs would be at least 150 million."

"Please think about it. I won't force you!"

After saying this, Chen Jie stopped talking and looked calm.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yanting didn't even ask Tang Zhengyan and Tan Hongde for their opinions, and directly made the decision:
"OK, I have no objection, deal!"

"Give me the bank account number and I'll ask my personal finance department to transfer the money to you right away."

"The price is after tax. I will send you all the tax documents in the form of documents for electronic signature confirmation. There will be no financial risk."

What Chen Jie didn't expect was that this middle-aged man from Hong Kong Island, Lu Yanting, was very efficient and straightforward in his work.

This made Chen Jie's favorable impression towards this truly top-tier billionaire doubled!

at this time,

Chen Jie discovered a problem: all the top wealthy people seemed to be easy-going and easy to talk to.

This was the case with Bai Yiheng, and the same is true for Lu Yanting now.

They do not have any domineering air. Instead, they are very easy to talk to and act decisively and efficiently.

Transactions worth hundreds of millions, without blinking an eye, not even interested in bargaining.

Ten minutes later——!
Chen Jie soon received a message about the money arriving on his mobile phone.

Before this, Chen Jie specially applied for super VIP service in the bank, so there would be no limit on depositing and withdrawing funds.

If you fail to complete the formalities, your bank card may be easily limited, resulting in the inability of funds to be credited.

He knew that he would often need to move large sums of money.

Therefore,
In order to avoid trouble, he needs to pay a lot of fees every year and apply for super VIP service.

have to say,

With this super VIP service, it is indeed very convenient and there is no control over funds.

Seeing that there was an extra nine-digit number in his bank account, Chen Jie suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Overseas bank accounts must be settled as soon as possible.

Otherwise, as more and more funds become available in the future, it will easily attract attention.

Transaction complete!

"Mr. Chen, keep in touch. As long as we have top-quality wild ginseng, you can rest assured about the price!"

Tan Hongde shook hands with Chen Jie and said seriously, "I will trouble you frequently when the time comes. I hope you don't mind."

His trip to Hengyang in southern Hunan was an eye-opener.

With global climate change, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious, and top-quality wild ginseng is becoming increasingly rare.

Especially the top-quality 'Wild Ginseng King' which is hundreds of years old and can be used as medicine is almost extinct.

Artificially cultivated ginseng cannot be used as medicine, just like it lacks the "spirituality" of wild ginseng.

As a Chinese medicine expert who has been engaged in the industry for nearly fifty years, Tan Hongde has an indescribable feeling for "top-quality wild ginseng".

Chen Jie didn't say much, but just kept a faint smile on his face.

He still has a lot of this "top-quality wild ginseng" at home, but he has to sell them one by one and never in large quantities.

Disrupting market prices is like shooting yourself in the foot.

To know,
With the "wild ginseng" in Chen Jie's hands, he has almost formed a monopoly on the high-end wild ginseng market on the market.

If too many items are sold at one time, not only will the price be driven down, but the item will also lose its rarity in the market.

Things are rare and valuable!

This time, seven plants were shipped and 100 million yuan was received, which made Chen Jie very satisfied.

After he exchanged contact information with Tan Hongde and Lu Yanting, he smiled and invited them:

"President Tang, Mr. Tan, Mr. Lu, would you like to have a simple meal together tonight?"

Lu Yanting and Tan Hongde shook their heads and said, "No! Maybe later. We have to hurry back."

Next,
Lu Yanting put the wooden box containing wild ginseng on the table into his backpack.

These wild ginsengs are worth 100 million yuan.

Even he had to be careful and handle it with care for fear of causing damage.

suddenly,
He felt that the wooden box in his hand was a little different. After taking a closer look, his eyes lit up.

Then,

He took the wooden box in his hand and examined it carefully, even holding it up to the light, fearing that he had seen it wrong.

Huh?
Top-quality agarwood! ?

impossible?

Who is so generous as to use agarwood to make packaging boxes?

This stuff costs tens of thousands of dollars per gram, and this packaging box contains almost 200 grams.

That’s more than two million!

hiss--!
Lu Yanting couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at the wooden box again and again in disbelief.

Next,
He wiped it with his hand and saw that the surface of the wooden box was smooth and the texture was fine.

The wooden box is heavy and quite substantial.
