You were sent to participate in a transformation program, not to participate in poverty alleviation.

Qin Hao wasn't angry; he just smiled faintly.

Gently place the snakeskin bag on the counter and untie the rope.

"Boss, don't speak too soon."

"You can inspect the goods first before sending them away."

As soon as the bag was opened, a rich and pure aroma of matsutake mushrooms immediately wafted out.

It even overpowered the smell of the dried goods in the store.

The boss's nose twitched, and his gaze unconsciously swept into the bag.

The next second, he sprang up from the chair like a spring.

Holy crap!

The shopkeeper grabbed the bag and carefully took out a matsutake mushroom.

His eyes were wide open, and he didn't even bother to fix his glasses when they slipped down.

"This...this is top-grade baby velvet?!"

The cap was not yet open, the stem was firm, and it was over 12 centimeters long...

And it's freshly caught from the mountain?!

The boss suddenly looked up and stared at Qin Hao, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly ardent:

"Hey buddy, where did you come from?"

"Gathered from our own mountains."

Qin Hao said calmly.

"It was just brought down from the mountain this morning by car. Absolutely fresh."

The boss swallowed hard.

He was an expert and naturally knew what this quality of matsutake mushroom meant.

During this season, as soon as this top-quality product hits the shelves, discerning gourmets and purchasing managers from high-end hotels will absolutely scramble to get their hands on it.

"We'll accept it! We'll definitely accept it!"

The boss's attitude made a complete 180-degree turn, and his face was full of smiles.

"Young man, how much do you have?"

"Besides the one jin I just sold for travel expenses, I still have more than seven jin left."

"I want them all!"

The boss waved his hand dismissively.

"In the current market, this kind of goods are rare."

I won't rip you off, 300 yuan per jin! How about it?

Old Zhang, who was standing nearby, felt his head buzzing when he heard this number.

300 per pound?

They only gave me 50 in town just now!

The price increased sixfold after just one resale?!

However, Qin Hao still shook his head.

"Boss, 300 is the price for regular Grade 1 goods."

Qin Hao pointed to the base of the matsutake mushroom.

"This is a top-grade product, perfectly preserved with the soil still on it."

Moreover, they were all juvenile mites, not a single one had opened its cap.

If you resell this kind of product to a large hotel, you can get at least 800 or even 1000.

I have no problem with you making a profit, but you have to leave me some scraps.

The boss's face stiffened, and he gave Qin Hao a deep look.

This kid looks young, how come he knows the market so well?

Indeed, if he took it back and resold it, his profit would at least double.

"Fine!" the boss gritted his teeth.

"Looks like an expert. 400! 400 per jin!"

This is truly the highest price I can offer; any higher and I won't make any profit!

Qin Hao made a mental calculation.

At 400 yuan per kilogram, that was quite good for the purchase price in 2010.

After all, he still needs to consider establishing long-term cooperative relationships, and he can't just take advantage of people all at once.

"make a deal."

Qin Hao readily nodded.

Weigh it. It's exactly about 7 jin (3.5 catties).

"Based on 7 jin (3.5 catties), it's 2800 yuan."

The boss was a straightforward man; he opened the safe, counted out a stack of bright red banknotes, and handed them to Qin Hao.

"Young man, please click."

Qin Hao took the money and counted it quickly, just like a seasoned accountant.

"The number is just right."

Old Zhang, standing to the side, was completely petrified.

Looking at the thick wad of cash in Qin Hao's hand, he felt his worldview crumble.

Just a few hours ago, this guy was haggling with a vendor in town over a few hundred yuan.

Now, just by taking a bus and changing locations, he turned 700 yuan into 2800 yuan!

After deducting the tens of yuan for the train ticket, the net profit is simply astonishing!

This isn't a reality show; it's clearly "Warren Buffett Goes to the Mountains"!

After the transaction was completed, Qin Hao didn't rush to leave. Instead, he looked at the boss and said:

"Boss, can I have your phone number? I'll probably have this kind of stuff for a while, as long as the weather's good."

The boss's eyes lit up instantly, staring at Qin Hao like searchlights:

"Are you sure? You'll maintain this quality in the future?"

"I can't guarantee that there will always be this many top-quality items, but they are definitely better than the common ones on the market."

Qin Hao said confidently.

"And in large quantities."

"Of course! Of course!"

The boss excitedly took out his business card and handed it to Qin Hao.

"As long as the quality is up to standard, I'll take as many as you have! The price will be absolutely fair!"

"Then it's settled."

Qin Hao carefully put away the business card and pocketed the money, then led Lao Zhang, who was still questioning his life, out of the market.

On the way back, Lao Zhang was in a daze the whole time.

"2800...2800 for an afternoon..."

Old Zhang was muttering to himself.

"How much do I earn in a month? How come this rich kid makes money as easily as drinking water?"

He looked at Qin Hao, who was walking ahead of him, with a look of awe in his eyes.

He originally thought the production team arranged this episode to see the rich second generation make a fool of themselves.

It seems this episode is going to become Qin Hao's solo show.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao was sitting on the bus on his way back, stroking the warm stack of banknotes in his hand, quickly calculating in his mind.

"Two thousand eight hundred yuan. That was my first pot of gold."

"Taking the bus back and forth every day is too time-consuming; it takes four or five hours just to get there."

Looking at the scenery rushing past the window, Qin Hao made a decision.

"First, you need to buy a means of transportation. A motorcycle or a high-powered electric vehicle."

This not only shortens commuting time but also allows for sourcing goods deeper into the mountains.

"From now on, it won't just be me digging anymore."

Qin Hao's lips curled into a smile as he thought of Lin Feng, who was still working hard in the village, and the villagers who were sitting on a treasure trove without realizing it.

"I want to be the biggest middleman in this village."

..........................................

Despite having just received a huge sum of 2800 yuan, Qin Hao was not blinded by joy.

He knew very well that in remote mountain areas with poor transportation, time was money and efficiency was life.

"Let's solve the transportation problem first."

Qin Hao, along with Lao Zhang, the cameraman who was still questioning his existence, headed straight for the only car dealership in town.

However, reality gave this reborn person from 2025 a cold shower.

"Boss, how much is this electric scooter?"

Qin Hao pointed to the row of bulky electric vehicles in the store that looked like lumps of iron and asked.

The boss was sitting with his legs crossed, smoking, without even lifting his eyelids.

"That one? The Luyuan brand, a brand new model that just arrived, 3200. No bargaining."

"How many?!"

Qin Hao almost bit his tongue.

3200?

In later generations, secondhand electric scooters costing a few hundred yuan were everywhere, while brand new delivery scooters cost just over two thousand yuan.

However, in 2010, electric vehicle technology was not yet fully mature.

Lead-acid batteries are bulky and expensive, and when you add in the transportation costs, the price is practically robbery.

Undeterred, he pointed to the motorcycle next to him: "What about this 125cc?"

"That one is more expensive, the Wuyang-Honda, it will cost 5000 or more to get it done."

The shopkeeper blew a smoke ring, looking at the child's plain clothes, guessing he probably couldn't afford it, and his tone became somewhat impatient.

"Young man, if you don't have money, don't bother looking. There's a bicycle repair shop to the right when you go out, and it's cheap there."
