Swoosh—
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—
Several figures flashed by, and Lu Yuan was surrounded by Boss Li, the three Shi brothers, and Wang Shiliang.
"Mr. Lu, may I take a look at these medicinal herbs?"
"Mr. Lu, I arrived first. Please take a look at me first."
“Mr. Lu, there’s no need to show it to them. Just name your price, and we’ll take the medicine.”
“Mr. Lu, sell it to me, I’m willing to pay a high price.”
...
Everyone was pushing and shoving, refusing to give in.
Lu Yuan remained firmly in the middle, holding the basket tightly to his chest.
He had expected these people to scramble to buy his ginseng and lingzhi, but he never imagined that these wealthy and powerful families in Hong Kong would be so unconcerned about their image.
Lu Guoan and several staff members who were receiving guests stared wide-eyed at the scene.
This...this...
How can rich people act like village women, grabbing things? Where have all the wealthy bosses who used to be so elegant and refined gone?
At this moment, the preconceived image of the wealthy and powerful in their minds completely collapsed.
"Stop, everyone, listen to me."
When everyone had almost finished scrambling for it, Lu Yuan loudly stopped them.
With another quick movement, he left the center of the encirclement and retreated to the side.
"Bosses, calm down. I can show you this medicine and sell it to you, but don't try to steal it."
Boss Li and the three Shi brothers were eyeing the basket covetously; how could they not try to snatch it!
They could see it; those were ginseng and lingzhi, both precious medicinal herbs, and their size indicated they were quite old.
We must get our hands on these rare medicinal herbs that we take regularly to strengthen our bodies and save our lives in critical moments; now is not the time to be modest.
The group was poised and ready for battle. Mr. Li, outnumbered and outmatched, kept giving his son meaningful glances.
Li Shun naturally received his father's message and nodded slightly.
He even gave her a reassuring look, assuring her that he was young and strong, and could do the work of two men.
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to charge at Lu Yuan.
Just then, Lu Yuan spoke again.
"Everyone, the ginseng I have here is from 1980. Our village's supply and marketing cooperative sells it, and they also have century-old wild ginseng there."
"A century?" the crowd exclaimed.
Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, our supply and marketing cooperative has a special shop for precious medicinal herbs. It has not only ginseng and lingzhi, but also some other precious medicinal herbs. You can go and have a look."
Upon hearing this, the Li and Shi families stopped arguing and resumed their cheerful demeanor, becoming loving and affectionate again.
The group politely stepped forward to examine the ginseng and lingzhi, smelling and inhaling them repeatedly, their intoxicated expressions resembling those of someone on drugs, causing Lu Yuan's left eyelid to twitch uncontrollably.
"This is truly excellent ginseng, such excellent ginseng!" Old Mrs. Shi praised repeatedly.
Wang Shiliang was also delighted, never expecting to encounter such a fine ginseng, especially one of such high age.
"Mr. Lu, I'll offer you 50,000 for this ginseng and lingzhi. How about you sell it to me?"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes inwardly. 50,000 yuan to buy these two precious medicinal herbs? Dream on!
You know, the village's supply and marketing cooperative sells 30-year-old ginseng for 50,000 yuan. This 80-year-old ginseng even has a lingzhi mushroom inside. How could he possibly sell it for 50,000 yuan?
"Dr. Wang, I'm sorry, the village's supply and marketing cooperative lists 30-year-old ginseng at 50,000 yuan."
"What? A 30-year-old one costs 50,000?"
He wanted to say that this was no different from robbery, but since he still wanted to buy the medicine, he didn't want to say anything too harsh.
He forced a smile and said, "A 30-year-old ginseng outside costs at most a few thousand yuan. Isn't your price a bit too high?"
He put it mildly, but it wasn't just inflated; it was clearly far too high.
Lu Yuan gave an official smile, "If Dr. Wang thinks our price is too high, he can go elsewhere and buy one for several thousand yuan. This is the price we offer here."
Wang Shiliang choked and shut his mouth in frustration.
Ginseng is hard to buy these days, where can he buy it?
He could also smell it; the ginseng and lingzhi in this basket were far more effective than ordinary medicines. Just smelling them made one feel refreshed and comfortable, let alone using them as medicine.
But the other party wouldn't sell even for 50,000, leaving Wang Shiliang helpless, as that was all the money he could offer.
Seeing that he couldn't afford it, Boss Shi chuckled and said, "Boss Lu, how about I sell this ginseng to you for 200,000?"
When the eldest son didn't mention wanting the Ganoderma lucidum, the old lady of the Shi family quickly added, "Add another 100,000 yuan, and we'll want the Ganoderma lucidum too."
Mr. Li also smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, how about I add 50,000 yuan and sell you 35 ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms to us?"
They have quietly changed their address for Lu Yuan from Mr. Lu to Boss Lu.
Boss Shi looked at Boss Li and continued to raise the price.
"I'll offer 400,000."
Mr. Li wanted to raise the price, but Mr. Shi suddenly stopped him. "Old Li, you can't be so unfair. You can go down the mountain today and buy century-old ginseng from the village's supply and marketing cooperative, but we'll have to stay on the mountain for a few more days. We don't know if the shops will still have any stock when we come down. How about we just give you the ginseng and lingzhi now? Consider it a favor I owe you."
Since things had come to this point, Mr. Li couldn't very well refuse.
However, he was also worried that by the time they came down the mountain, the good ginseng from the supply and marketing cooperative would have been bought by someone else.
He asked Lu Yuan, "Will the supply and marketing cooperative still have goods when we come down the mountain?"
Lu Yuan assured him, "Don't worry, you're the only big bosses who came to the village today."
So Mr. Li relented and stopped raising the price.
