"Chairman, the young master has been in the countryside for three years."
"Does he know his mistake now?"
"No, but he has now led the rural enterprise to go public a...
"What is that? Some cow organ?"
The director saw Xu Shang taking out the bezoar from the cow's body and asked curiously. Of course, the crew didn't know, but there was someone in the village who knew what it was and exclaimed:
"Bezoar!"
"Bezoar?" Other people in the village were not very clear either, and they all pestered the man to ask.
The director chewed on the words for a moment and said to the production manager, "I remember that bezoar should also be a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. Check it out and see if it's valuable."
The production manager immediately took out his Nokia and used the poor internet speed to search for relevant information on Baidu.
It would have been fine if they hadn't checked. After checking, the stage manager's expression immediately became quite subtle.
"How many pounds per pound?" asked the director.
"Well... usually this stuff is not calculated by kilogram."
"If not by kilogram, what should we count?"
"By the gram."
"Um!?"
The director was stunned.
Price by gram?
What's the use of gram? It can't be cheap!
But on second thought, the piece Xu Shang had weighed at most a pound, and a few dollars per gram wouldn't be enough to kill anyone.
The production manager then said, "If you really want to charge by the kilogram, that's not impossible. The lowest price I just checked is 100,000 yuan per kilogram."
"What?"
The director was also shocked. No way, how could something cost 100,000 yuan per kilogram?
In 2006, this money was enough to go to a first-tier city and pay a down payment!
The stage manager was still not satisfied and continued, "This thing is still in the market and has a price that is actually much higher than this. I looked and it's said to be worth one ounce of bezoar and two ounces of gold."
"Is it true?" The director was a little unconvinced and picked up his phone to search.
A villager from Tianya Village was also boasting about what he had seen: "I saw this thing once before, back in the 1990s, and I sold a piece the size of my palm for several thousand yuan!"
"Thousands? That's worth a lot!"
"That was back in the 1990s! God knows how much a piece this big would be worth now!"
Everyone looked at Xu Shang with envy and jealousy. His luck was too good!
To others it was luck, but to Xu Shang it was purely the power of the system!
He was not polite. After slaughtering the beef, he asked other people in the village to marinate the meat according to his instructions. He took the bezoar with him and took a bus to Jing City.
…
The pharmacy owner looked at Xu Shang in surprise and asked puzzledly: "Why are you back again? Did you miscalculate the price of the herbs? Or did you forget something?"
Xu Shang shook his head, smiled slightly, and walked up to the boss: "Let me show you something good."
"What good stuff?"
The boss was pulled into the next room by Xu Shang in confusion. Seeing Xu Shang taking out a convenient bag mysteriously, he approached with some nonchalant attitude. But when he took a look, his eyes widened.
"This! Where did this come from?"
"Just taken out, fresh! Still a little warm!"
The boss breathed rapidly: "I'm asking where you got it from?"
Xu Shang then explained to his boss: "After you left, I went back to the village. On the way, I happened to pass by a livestock market. As you know, in addition to buying medicinal herbs, I also sell cakes. So I went there and bought some livestock, including a cow."
After hearing this, the boss stood there like a pillar, with only one sentence in his mind.
What the hell!?
With such a treasure, you just buy a cow and then open it?
Do you think this is the cabbage in the field?
How can anyone have such bad luck?
The boss was very puzzled. He had been running a pharmacy for so many years, but how could he have made such a big profit? Xu Shang was a green hand, but he could just buy a cow and get bezoar out of it, and the amount would be at least one pound.
The drugstore owner couldn't help but pluck out a strand of his beard, and with a hiss, he looked at his precious beard, shook his head and sighed that people have different fates, and said, "Do you know how much this thing is worth?"
"Of course I know. Boss, just name a price!" Xu Shang had gone through so much trouble to come here, so of course he wanted to sell it.
The drugstore owner stroked his beard, looked at Xu Shang, then looked at the bezoar, thought for a while and said, "You are knowledgeable, I won't lie to you. If I eat this bezoar myself, I may have to give you a discount. After all, it is a lot of money. If I eat it with others, I will get more money... But this favor should be counted on me!"
Xu Shang nodded and said, "Okay! I choose to take more money!"
After hearing what Xu Shang said, the pharmacy owner smiled and carefully weighed the bezoar, which was more than one catty and three taels in total. Then, the pharmacy owner walked out.
This street is full of people doing this business, so the drugstore owner naturally has no trouble finding customers.
However, according to what he said just now, Xu Shang was not allowed to participate in the middle link, which means that the pharmacy owner might resell it at a higher price; he might also earn favors from others, but these have nothing to do with Xu Shang.
Xu Shang was naturally not annoyed at all. When doing business, connections were of great value. Just like the first time he came to this street to sell medicine, most of the bosses wanted to cheat him. The business world was full of intrigues, so it was naturally not that easy.
After a while, the drugstore owner came back and quoted a price.
"One price, 180,000! If you're willing to sell it, just transfer the money directly. If you're not willing, just sell it. It doesn't matter where you sell it!"
Xu Shang thought about it for a moment.
In fact, there are some tricks here. The pharmacy owner went out to talk to others, which means the price is unified. Even if Xu Shang took it out and asked on this street, no one would offer a higher price.
This is also one of the "favors" that the drugstore owner mentioned just now.
In fact, this price is not low. Of course, if there is an opportunity to auction, it can be higher, but the turnover time is too long, and such opportunities are hard to find.
In fact, if you wait a few more years, the price of this thing will go up. But for Xu Shang at the moment, the money in his hands will definitely appreciate faster.
Xu Shang nodded: "Deal!"
Many people don’t know why this thing is so expensive. In fact, it was hyped up to the sky in later generations. One pill of the miracle medicine "Angong Niuhuang Pills" can be sold for thousands of dollars. The most important ingredient is natural bezoar, which is why this ingredient has always been priceless.
The transaction process was recorded during the program. Although the store sign and the characters were blurred as requested by the pharmacy owner, it still gave the program team face.
However, such a transaction still stunned the production crew. Some people seemed to be in a trance and it took them a long time to come back to their senses:
"One hundred and eighty thousand? Just sold it?"
