Chapter 650: Using Ginseng and Gold to Offset (Page 1/2)
Wang Guodong and Wang Wenhua were originally waiting confidently for the buyer's counter-offer, but when the other party quoted the price, the confidence on their faces disappeared instantly, replaced by astonishment and disbelief.
The two men's faces turned pale in an instant, as if they were hit by a bolt from the blue.
Wang Wenhua hurriedly turned his gaze to Zhao Shirong beside him, his eyes full of help, and secretly prayed in his heart that this middleman could say a few good words for him.
He licked his lips and said in a slightly flattering tone, "Doctor Huo, your price is really quite high! Back then, my grandfather invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in building this mansion!
Didn't Director Zhao mention this to you before? " After saying this, Wang Wenhua looked at Zhao Shirong with expectant eyes, as if silently urging him to help quickly.
Zhao Shirong naturally knew what Wang Wenhua was thinking at the moment. If the deal could be successfully concluded, he would undoubtedly receive a generous red envelope as a reward from the Wang family.
Thinking of this, he immediately put on a smiling face, turned to Huo Qingci and said, "Doctor Huo, look at this Wang family mansion. It covers an area of more than 9,000 square meters!
And when they first built it, they did spend hundreds of thousands of dollars! How about we both take a step back and you reconsider it? "
As he spoke, he did not forget to wink at Huo Qingci, suggesting that the other party should raise the bid appropriately.
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile, and at the same time he winked at Huo Qingci mischievously, as if saying, "Hey, old buddy, cooperate with me and raise the price a bit!"
At this point, he continued, "Doctor Huo, how about this? Let's each make a concession and close the deal at 190,000. Listen, '19' sounds like 'long-lasting', which is auspicious, symbolizing that this deal will last forever!"
Hearing this, Huo Qingci understood what he meant and quietly winked at Lin Man beside him. Lin Man instantly understood what he meant, that he was asking for her opinion.
For Lin Man, no matter how much she ultimately paid for the mansion, it would be a sure win. After all, based on current market conditions and development trends, the Wang family's mansion would undoubtedly be worth hundreds of millions in another twenty or thirty years! However, despite her clear understanding, she still wanted to try to lower the price.
Lin Man coughed lightly and said slowly, "Hmm... Well, I wonder if the price can be lowered a little bit? To be honest, my husband and I know that Mr. Wang and your family will be traveling to Hong Kong soon. I'm sure the journey is long, and carrying a large amount of cash is really inconvenient. So, we would like to consider using gold to complete this transaction."
"Gold transaction?"
Wang Guodong's pupils trembled when he heard this. In fact, the gold that his family had previously hidden had either been donated or looted, so there really wasn't much left.
"How about this, a flat price of 188,000. This price really can't be lowered any further."
Lin Man and Huo Qingci seemed to realize that this price was the Wang family's bottom line, so they nodded in agreement.
Huo Qingci nodded and said, "Okay then. If possible, we'll go to the Housing Authority this afternoon to complete the handover procedures."
Wang Wenhua whispered in Wang Guodong's ear, "Dad, although gold is convenient to carry, we still need some money. Let each of my younger brothers carry some. We can exchange it for local currency when we get to the port city."

Wang Guodong said, "Gold is universally accepted. Let's just exchange it all for gold. Only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan will be enough. And I heard from your uncle that it's hard to exchange Chinese currency over there."
"Okay, then we'll take 38,000 Chinese dollars, and the rest will be traded in gold."
At this time, Lin Man took out a box of fifty-year-old ginseng from her cloth bag. She opened the wooden box and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, what do you think of this wild ginseng of mine?"
Wang Guodong carefully picked up the exquisite wooden box, his eyes fixed on the ginseng lying quietly inside the box.
He first focused his attention on the thick and tangled ginseng roots, but before he could take a closer look, a rich and refreshing ginseng aroma rushed into his nose like a stream of clear spring water, instantly making him feel refreshed and relaxed.
At this moment, Wang Guodong couldn't help but think in his heart: If I could use such precious ginseng to soak medicinal wine, and drink a glass of it every day, maybe it can really prolong my life and allow me to enjoy another ten or twenty years of good time!
After all, people in their seventies are particularly afraid of death, and their desire for longevity and health becomes stronger.
Thinking of this, Wang Guodong's eyes became more and more fiery.
You know, the value of a fifty-year-old wild ginseng like this one cannot be underestimated!
According to current market conditions, it is worth at least 30,000 to 40,000 Chinese yuan.
Moreover, if it is taken to Hong Kong to be sold, the price may increase several times!
"Comrade Xiaolin, this ginseng looks like it's of excellent quality. Could it be that you only have this one? I guess with your ability, it shouldn't be that high!"
Wang Guodong looked at Lin Man expectantly, with greed glittering in his eyes.
However, facing Wang Guodong's inquiry, Lin Man just smiled slightly, but muttered in her heart: Humph, if she really took out a hundred-year-old ginseng, with your Wang family's financial resources, I'm afraid you can't afford it at all.
Nowadays, the price of century-old ginseng on the market is at least hundreds of thousands. If it is transported to the port city for auction, it is not surprising that the transaction price exceeds one million!
She remembered a piece of news that 160-year-old wild ginseng was sold for a high price of two million in 1981.
"Mr. Wang, are you planning to buy another fifty-year-old ginseng?"
"Okay, then, give me 10,000 in cash, and two 50-year-old ginseng sticks as a deduction. The rest can be exchanged for gold. The current price of gold is a little over 20 yuan per gram."
Wang Guodong planned to get two fifty-year-old ginsengs, one to save his life and the other to take to Hong Kong to exchange for money.
Lin Man asked again: "Mr. Wang, how much money do you plan to pay for each ginseng?"
"The market price of fifty-year-old wild ginseng is generally thirty to forty thousand. I think your ginseng is of good quality. How about two ginsengs for seventy thousand?"
"Old man, I think the number eight is very auspicious."
Wang Guodong knew that the fact that the buyers could come up with so many golden ginsengs showed that they were very scheming. If they were not so powerful, they would have been robbed of so many good things long ago!
"Comrade Lin, I think 70,000 yuan is better. The number seven is very auspicious, and it brings harmony to the whole family."
Lin Man's eyes turned. The old man of the Wang family was indeed eloquent and worthy of being a smart and shrewd businessman.
