Zhong Xiang was somewhat disappointed and regretful, but since the other party didn't want to sell, he couldn't force them to buy.
And judging from the young man's nonchalant demeanor, he probably has more than just these.
How much are you planning to pay?
Gu Wei was worried that he didn't understand the market and might quote too low.
"Why don't you give me a price first?"
Zhong Xiang thought for a moment, then said, "I'll take the 1.2 million."
1.2 million!!!
Gu Wei was overjoyed!
But he didn't agree immediately.
Instead, he forcefully pressed down the corners of his mouth: "1.5 million."
The reason for doing this is twofold: firstly, to test the waters, and secondly, to avoid being too quick to agree and making the other party feel uncomfortable that the offer was too high.
Zhong Xiang laughed: "I only offered such a high price because I saw that you still have some hundred-year-old wild ginseng, in order to maintain a good relationship. You've already asked for 300,000 more right off the bat, that's a bit ruthless."
Gu Wei could tell that the other party was determined to win and didn't care about the few hundred thousand, so he calmly smiled and said, "It's not that bad. If this fifty-year-old wild ginseng were auctioned off, it would definitely double in value."
Zhong Xiang shook his head: "You don't know, the auction business is very complicated."
Gu Wei immediately thought of that saying: "Listen to your uncle's advice, this is a dangerous place, you can't handle it."
Unfortunately, Zhong Xiang is not someone who surfs the internet.
Seeing Gu Wei's inscrutable smile, his expression subtly changed.
He seemed to ponder for a moment before speaking, "Okay, then let's do as you say and consider it making friends."
The two quickly completed the transaction.
Gu Wei's account had more than a million yuan more.
Zhong Xiang handed over a business card: "Brother Gu, next time you want to sell century-old wild ginseng, be sure to contact me directly."
"Okay, no problem."
Gu Wei had a good impression of him and didn't mind making a good connection with him.
After leaving.
Gu Wei made a special trip to the bank.
Looking at that long string of numbers in my account, I still felt a bit unreal.
After all, I've lived for over twenty years and have never seen so much money before.
Now that I have money, I'm definitely going to spend it!
Let's celebrate!
How carefree and happy!
But it's no fun for someone to be dressed in fine clothes at night.
Besides, he'll definitely get richer and richer in the future. You can keep it a secret for a while, but can you keep it a secret forever?
Instead of worrying about making money, why not find a reason to let your best friends know first and share your joy with them?
Gu Wei thought for a moment, opened WeChat, scrolled to Song Damingbai, clicked on it, and started typing rapidly.
This guy was the third oldest in his college dorm, named Song Daming, nicknamed "Big Insightful".
Both of them are from Northeast China.
Although it's not a province.
But from the first day of school, they became like old friends, their eyes filled with tears, and they got along like one big family.
Song Daming guessed that Dad was probably slacking off in the company restroom, and quickly replied: [What do you need, Dad?]
Gu Wei smiled and replied, "Dad will treat you to a big meal at noon."
[Dad! You're so good!]
The next moment, Song Daming also sent a kneeling emoji.
Seeing that it was still early before noon, Gu Wei took the century-old wild ginseng to an auction company in Qingcheng.
The receptionist was a tall, beautiful woman with light makeup and a lovely fragrance.
The black business suit fit her perfectly, but there was a spot on the white shirt that looked a little tight.
"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"
“I have a hundred-year-old wild ginseng that I would like to have identified.”
The receptionist immediately and warmly invited Gu Wei into the VIP room, and served him coffee and delicate desserts.
"Please wait a moment, the appraiser will be here shortly."
"Okay. Beautiful lady, you can go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, please call me if you need anything."
After everyone left, Gu Wei enjoyed drinking coffee and playing games, feeling quite content.
As a result, before the game was even over, the sound of footsteps from more than one person could be heard in the corridor.
Soon, two old men, one fat and one thin, and a middle-aged man in a suit entered.
After a few brief pleasantries, everyone got down to business.
When they saw the wild ginseng in the wooden box, not only did Old Chen, who wore glasses, have his eyes light up, but Old Liu, who was heavily pregnant, also widened his eyes.
The two exchanged a quick glance, both looking incredulous.
It's very rare to see wild ginseng of this quality these days!
Upon seeing this, Manager Sun immediately raised his attitude towards Gu Wei to a new level.
Old Chen and Old Liu carefully moved the wild ginseng out.
"What a waste! How could they preserve it like this..."
...
"My God, this wild ginseng is 189 years old!"
...
"It weighs a whopping 78 grams."
"..."
Gu Wei silently watched from the sidelines, the smile on his lips growing wider and wider.
Once the identification process was nearly complete, Gu Wei instantly became the center of attention.
"Mr. Gu, are you planning to make a move?"
Gu Wei smiled faintly, "I do have that plan."
Manager Sun was overjoyed and immediately launched into a long, eloquent speech about their auction company's professionalism and reputation in the industry, as well as how they promoted the auction items.
But Gu Wei didn't want to hear any of this.
"What happens if the item doesn't sell at auction? Will my deposit be deducted?"
"Well... that's how it's stipulated in the contract."
Gu Wei stood up. "Then I'm sorry, I don't plan to film anymore."
“Mr. Gu, please don’t worry, we can…”
In the end, the other party compromised.
Even if the item fails to sell at auction, the deposit will not be deducted.
Both parties agreed on a reserve price of 6 million before signing the contract.
...
When Gu Wei arrived at Song Daming's company building by taxi, there were still ten minutes left before the end of the workday.
