Chapter 167 Buying Precious Medicinal Materials

The first floor of the Friendship Store mainly sells food, clothing, cosmetics, toys, photographic equipment, watches and glasses, famous embroidery, bicycles, home appliances, mid- to high-end furniture, silk and some handicrafts with Chinese characteristics.

After shopping on the first floor, Mo Zhexuan and Li Peizhen had already filled five shopping carts. Except for bicycles, home appliances, and mid- to high-end furniture, they bought almost everything else. In the end, they spent a total of yuan when they checked out at the counter.

Both of them were knowledgeable people, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the prices were indeed outrageous. If they were in Hong Kong, these things would not exceed 8,000 yuan at most.

But it is understandable. After all, purchasing from all over the world has cost a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. If we don’t make money, we will lose a lot of money, otherwise how can we earn foreign exchange?

"Xiao Liu! Please take a few pictures for us." As soon as Li Peizhen finished speaking, she handed the newly bought Nikon camera to Liu Yiru, and then took Mo Zhexuan's arm with a smile on her face.

Mo Zhexuan also cooperated very well, and posed naturally with his head held high and a smile on his face. As Liu Yiru pressed the button of the camera, photos of different scenes were immediately saved.

As you walk into the second floor, you can smell the strong aroma of Chinese herbal medicine. It goes without saying that this is the area of ​​precious medicinal materials.

When the three of them walked over and took a look, they saw many glass bottles containing various different medicinal herbs. There were also a few customers consulting the salesperson.

"Sir! Madam! Welcome!" A female salesperson greeted them with a smile after seeing a few people. They had just received a notice from their leader that two big customers, a man and a woman, had come to the second floor, so they did not dare to be negligent.

"Madam! Can you help me introduce the precious medicinal herbs here?" Mo Zhexuan asked curiously.

"The most precious medicinal herbs here are ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Ganoderma lucidum, shark fin, snow lotus, ambergris, etc. As for wild ginseng, there is one plant that is over a hundred years old, one that is over eighty years old, and five that are over fifty years old."

"We have one Polygonum multiflorum plant that's over 80 years old and three that are over 50 years old. There are fewer Ganoderma lucidum plants here, and only one that's over 100 years old is left..."

The saleswoman knew that ordinary medicinal herbs would not attract the distinguished customer in front of her, so she hurriedly introduced the most precious Chinese medicinal herbs.

Just as Mo Zhexuan was about to speak, he heard a bargaining sound coming from the front and was stunned.

"I'll give... ten thousand... Mi Jin." The man was estimated to be about 1.6 meters tall, with narrow eyes, a tall and straight nose, a mouth full of crooked teeth, and spoke halting Chinese. It was obvious that he was not Chinese.

"Sir! All the precious medicinal materials that are over fifty years old are worth at least fifty thousand Mi gold. The price you offer is too low." The salesperson at the counter explained with a smile, but there was a hint of deep disgust in his eyes.

"Then I... add a little more... twelve thousand meters of gold, how about that?"

"No, I can't make the decision on this. I need at least 50,000 MiGold."

“............”

Mo Zhexuan immediately recognized the man's true identity with his piercing eyes. Judging from his appearance and height, he must be a Japanese citizen living a good life.

The other party's purpose was also clear. He wanted to use 10,000 MiGold to buy all the precious medicinal materials that were over 50 years old. It can be said that he had wolfish ambitions and wishful thinking.

"Ma'am, I want all the precious medicinal herbs that are over fifty years old, plus the shark fin, ambergris, seahorse, etc. that you just introduced. Pack them all for me."

"Are you... sure?" the saleswoman next to you stammered, thinking she had misheard.

"Sure!" Mo Zhexuan nodded firmly, then realized that he didn't seem to have that many foreign exchange certificates on him, so he asked:

"Do you accept checks here? Or do you have to pay with foreign exchange certificates?"

"I need to report this to my leader. Could you please wait a moment?" This was the first time the female salesperson encountered such a situation. After getting Mo Zhexuan's nod of agreement, she went to the counter to ask her colleagues.

"Brother Xuan! If you need foreign exchange coupons, I will ask my dad for them. He still has quite a few of them." Li Peizhen was worried that she would not be able to use her checkbook, and she remembered that Li Ka-shing should have a lot of foreign exchange coupons on him, so she quickly spoke.

"Don't worry! China is such a big country, and now it's implementing reform and opening up, how could it not cooperate with international banks? Otherwise, how can we attract investment? So the check will definitely be fine."

Mo Zhexuan responded and found that Liu Yiru seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say but was embarrassed to say it.

Just as I was about to ask, I saw the female salesperson coming back, followed by a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He had a big head and a round face, like Maitreya Buddha, with a warm smile on his face.

"Mr. Mo! Ms. Li! Welcome to the Friendship Store. I'm Li Changfu, the store manager. If you want to pay by check, that's fine, as long as the bank approves it."

"Director Li! I have one more thing to trouble you with. I'm here to buy a lot of things, so I'd like you to deliver them to the White Swan Hotel."

"No problem, this is what we should do. We will definitely deliver your purchased items to the White Swan Hotel intact."

“.............”

The two chatted with each other for a few sentences, and Mo Zhexuan prepared to go to the nearby shop to take a look at the famous and expensive liquors, and planned to buy some Moutai to take back to Hong Kong. As for the bill, they would pay it together after they finished shopping.

Just as they were about to turn around and go to the expensive wine area, they saw the Japanese man yelling at the salesperson crazily, and even turned around and cursed at them.

"Damn it! I was here first, why did I sell the stuff to them? I'm going to complain to your Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You're discriminating against me."

The Japanese man was as angry as a lion, his face was distorted, and he scared the salesperson so much that he turned pale. He looked so ferocious as if he was the master of the place.

"And you bunch of Chinese pigs, do you understand the principle of first come first served? Is it a big deal to be rich? You are a bunch of idiots, you are just being taken advantage of..."

Before he could finish his words, Mo Zhexuan, who was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, rushed over without saying a word and kicked the Japanese man. The Japanese man flew out on the spot and fell heavily to the ground.
