I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 121 The Spring of the Tranquil Grass (36)

After hearing what the skinny master said, Gong Jin turned his face away, too lazy to say anything.

Seeing that the cigarette was gone and the path was blocked, the skinny master quickly said, "Stop it, don't do anything reckless. What is this?"

"External display devices, ridiculously good."

"It's just the phone's dream outside, it's nothing."

Gong Jin glanced at the skinny master with regret: "It's different, that thing is completely different. Let me tell you, this thing is just a small sticker, but with it, your phone is completely different."

Looking at Gong Jin suspiciously, the skinny master snorted in dissatisfaction: "Really? I'm not very knowledgeable, don't lie to me."

"Why would I lie to you? This stuff costs 260 to produce and sells for 520 on the market. Since we're on good terms, I'll give you the cost price of 260."

"Get lost! This thing probably only costs around 130 yuan to produce. Whoever wants it can have it; I don't want it!"

Seeing that he couldn't reason with him, Gong Jin snatched the thin master's phone, stuck the sample he had brought on the back of the phone, and copied "The Record of Mountains and Seas" into it.

He tossed the phone back, lit a cigarette from the skinny guy, looked into the distance, and said, "Go try it yourself, then come out and tell me your thoughts."

"No matter how ambitious you are, it can't be 260! What kind of lousy sticker is this to charge such a price?!"

"Go try it, and then let me know. Remember to set an alarm."

The skinny driver cursed as he got into his truck, then pulled down the curtains to turn it into his room.

Two hours later, the shrill alarm clock rang, and the thin driver with red eyes jumped out of the car and walked to Gong Jin's side.

After carefully considering his words and thinking for a while, the thin master finally asked, "How much stock do you have?"

"Seventy thousand units."

"Two hundred and sixty?"

"Ah."

"The dreams inside are..."

"Gift."

"..."

The skinny guy really wanted to say that this thing was too expensive and they couldn't afford it!
But I really want it.

More importantly, unlike "My Factory", this is a buy-out price of 260. After you buy it, you can play with it however you want, which is much more convenient than screws.

After thinking it over, the skinny master gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Give us two hundred units first, I reckon we can sell them."

"Money isn't very useful right now; we can't spend it for the time being. Let's barter."

"A thing? A spirit herb? We only have Tranquility Grass left. All the other spirit herbs have already been pre-ordered. And this stuff is very cheap. Ten pounds of it, dried, is only five yuan."

Knowing that only the Tranquilizing Herb remained, Gong Jin nodded, thinking to himself that Chen was indeed worthy of being the CEO.

I had anticipated that the calming herbs here would be difficult to sell, so it's time to make a move.

The art high school students' daily consumption of three kilograms of grass has driven the calming grass on the back hill to extinction; now is the time when they need to eat more grass. This shows that President Chen had planned this all along; everything was part of a plan.

Moreover, the calming herbs don't spoil easily. There might be other plans for collecting so many calming herbs, but at this point, we just need to trust President Chen.

Gong Jin subconsciously wanted to lower the price, but he hesitated again when he remembered Chen Yu's instruction not to.

After a moment's thought, he stubbed out his cigarette, looked at the skinny master, and said seriously, "Old skinny, we've known each other for so many years, always deceiving each other. But I know that deep down you're the same kind of person as me."

"...Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" "You're thinking about the factory, and so am I. Let me be frank with you today: the Tranquilizing Herb is useful to us; our art high school students need it. Not only that, but the experts in our city have other plans, though they're too advanced for me to understand."

"...So, why are you bringing this up?"

“What I mean is, we want to buy a large quantity of Tranquilizing Grass; this is a long-term business. I know you're struggling here, and Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory doesn't want to cheat you. Give us the normal price for Tranquilizing Grass, and we'll buy it at that price.”

The skinny master stared blankly at Gong Jin, as if he were seeing his old friend for the first time.

After a long pause, he wiped his eyes and said, "You rascal, this is the first time I've ever seen you so anthropomorphic."

"You curse again!"

With a chuckle, the skinny man pointed to the fog-shrouded mountains and said with a smile, "This grass is indeed cheap, very cheap, and easy to grow. If you leave it alone for a day, it will cover the whole mountain. Others say it's bad, that it will still grow if you don't dig up its roots. But I think this grass is beautiful, has strong vitality, and I like it very much, just like us."

"You're still swearing!"

"I wasn't cursing, this is the truth. Anyway, this grass is easy to collect, and you can even collect and plant grass from trees that have had their arms and legs eaten. If you really want it, it will be a help to them. One yuan per pound of hay, not too high, otherwise someone will take the job. But not too low either, otherwise no one will do it."

"Alright! I'll send over 70,000 units first, and you can slowly find channels to handle them. Right now, the only ones who aren't afraid of the Xu Group are your Sangmu Timber Factory, so be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll prepare the herbs for you. Take your time. By the way, our work might not be very fast-paced, and we might accidentally mix in some good spirit wood or herbs. Don't mind it."

"You old bastard! Got it, I'm off. Oh, and here you go."

Subconsciously catching the cigarette Gong Jin threw to him, the skinny master laughed and scolded, "Isn't this my half-pack of cigarettes?"

However, upon opening the package, he discovered that the six-yuan pack of spruce cigarettes had been replaced with thirty-one-yuan packs of purple smoke cigarettes, which made him shake his head with a smile.

This old boy.

He waved and watched as the other person boarded the truck, drove into the clouds, and returned to Tianyuan.

Although they've been rivals for most of their lives, they now regard each other as their best partners, and today they have gained even more understanding and admiration for one another.

As he watched Gong Jin leave in his car, the skinny driver was about to continue looking for someone to follow up on the issue when he saw the door of his truck open.

Inside the converted campervan, a young girl, leaning on a cane, limped out and excitedly exclaimed, "Grandpa, I caught Qiongqi!"

Although the girl wasn't particularly beautiful, she had delicate features, like a wildflower growing in the mountains, possessing an inherently endearing quality.

However, due to the car accident, her left leg was missing, and her right thumb and index finger were missing, which made it almost impossible for her to do any work.

Upon seeing the girl, the skinny master finally smiled, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Good, very good."

"And look, I can use the external display device now. Bai Ze has appeared too!"

Upon noticing Bai Ze sitting on the girl's shoulders, the skinny master was immediately stunned.

I thought Gong Jin was exaggerating, but I didn't expect the external display device to actually work, and it was so exquisite.

"So it wasn't just bragging, it really is a free dream world with the purchase of a display device. No, the two should be one, but there will probably be more similar dreams in the future."

The granddaughter, who had been gloomy, was now chatting intimately with Bai Ze, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face, making the skinny master want to cry again.

He tilted his head back, letting the tears flow, and then said to his granddaughter, "There's a job in Tianyuan; it's about collecting Tranquilizing Herbs..."

As the thin master explained the job, the sun slowly rose and the fog began to dissipate.

In a secluded corner of the mountains, a tiny calming herb sprouted from the soil.

They bravely crawled out of the dark underground, faced the sun, and quietly grew.
