As Old Zhang watched Wu An deliberately guide Liang Rong to emphasize how precious the several dozen kilograms of ambergris in front of him was, he cursed the little fox in his heart, thinking how cunning he was.
Seeing that Wu An had easily subdued Liang Rong, he was actually quite pleased.
He coughed and said, "Xiao Liang, since you say you know a lot about ambergris, then I'll test you."
"Take a look and see how old this ambergris is."
"If you say something wrong, I won't give you any face."
"I'll give you a range, no less than a hundred years."
Liang Rong frowned.
For a proud young master, the most unbearable thing is being questioned.
Especially after you've just bragged about it.
He leaned closer to take a look.
After a long while, he stroked his chin and said, "Judging from the color and smell, it is probably around 150 years old."
"Mr. Zhang, am I right?"
Old Zhang smiled and nodded: "Young Liang is indeed an expert."
Liang Rong laughed heartily, outwardly appearing completely unfazed, but in reality, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Zhang turned to Wu An and asked, "An, do you know what the year 150 means?"
Wu An was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, Elder Zhang had said last time that the ambergris was several decades old. He muttered to himself, but said aloud, "I don't know."
"I'm just a fisherman, I don't know that much."
Old Zhang looked at Liang Rong.
Liang Rong is an arrogant person; he would never miss an opportunity to show off.
He launched into a long critique of the ambergris, boasting, "It means it's been adrift at sea for 150 years, from the Guangxu era to now!"
"How rare and precious it is! It can be said that this is a priceless treasure."
"To have met you is truly a blessing!"
Old Zhang nodded with a smile.
Wu An realized that Elder Zhang was also adding to the price of the ambergris. Although Elder Zhang was helping him, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What a sly old fox!"
Old Zhang said, "Young Liang, what you said makes sense."
“You come to buy ambergris, and Ah An will sell ambergris.”
"What's this?"
"This is fate!"
Liang Rong nodded in deep agreement: "That's right!"
"I have a special connection with this ambergris!"
"Ah An, I'll take this one!"
Wu An scratched his head: "This price..."
Liang Rong waved his hand: "Don't worry, your brother won't let you suffer."
"Today I bought three pieces of ambergris from Master Zhang, for a total of 300,000."
"It's about 900 yuan per gram."
“This piece of yours is of such good quality and so big, I’ll buy it for 1,000 yuan per gram.”
Wu An was stunned and said, "This...this is too expensive, this..."
Such shock and panic were partly genuine and mostly an act, which greatly pleased Liang Rong with the impact his offer had on Wu An.
Old Zhang coughed and said, "Young Liang, think it over before you speak."
This is a tactic of reverse psychology.
The more you try to persuade him, the more enthusiastic he becomes.
Liang Rong laughed and said, "Old Zhang, please don't try to persuade me."
"There's nothing to consider."
"Ah An, are you selling or not?"
Wu An quickly nodded: "Sell it."
Old Zhang sighed, as if to say, "Since that's the case, there's nothing I can do to persuade you."
Weigh.
It weighs 64 jin (approximately 32 catties).
!
During this period, Wu An has earned several million yuan, and the total amount of cash in hand is estimated to be around ten million yuan.
But it's still a long way from 32 million!
Only at this moment could he understand what it meant to have an excited heart and trembling hands!
Wu An asked, "Can you really come up with that much money?"
Liang Rong said, "I definitely can't afford it, but my family can."
"With such a large amount of ambergris, not only can the old man's medicine problem be solved, but my relatives will also be spared the trouble of traveling around."
"Most importantly, this ambergris itself has collectible value."
"This deal is absolutely worth doing."
He is arrogant.
But not stupid.
Old Master Zhang nodded slightly. Liang Rong was willing to spend a lot of money to acquire the ambergris, so he was no fool. On the contrary, he had calculated everything very clearly.
The reason they are willing to spend so much money is because acquiring ambergris can create greater profits.
On the side.
Gu Anran remained silent, but her hand gripped Wu An's arm tightly.
Very hard.
Only in this way could she barely maintain her composure.
Upon sensing this, Wu An gently embraced Gu Anran's slender waist to comfort her.
Wu An asked, "How long will it take?"
Liang Rong thought for a moment: "Three days!"
Wu An nodded in agreement, and Liang Rong was also decisive, giving a deposit of one-tenth of the amount.
Mr. Zhang did not charge any fees; he acted as a friend to facilitate the connection. Of course, with such a large piece of ambergris, Liang Rong returned the three smaller pieces to Mr. Zhang.
They agreed to meet at Mr. Zhang's shop three days later, and Liang Rong left first.
Wu An and Gu Anran originally planned to leave as well, but Old Zhang stopped them, saying it was lunchtime and they should have a meal together.
Wu An did not refuse.
It's a relatively small restaurant on the antique street.
There is no menu.
What the boss makes, the customers eat.
When Elder Zhang was about to pour tea, Wu An took the tea from him and said, "Elder Zhang, please speak freely."
Old Zhang smiled and said, "A'an, you can bring whatever you find in the sea to me in the future."
Wu An nodded.
From these two sales of ambergris, Old Master Zhang naturally noticed something amiss.
This ocean contains not only ambergris, but also many other treasures.
He raised his teacup: "Mr. Zhang, if that's the case, then I'll be troubling you quite a bit in the future."
"This cup."
"I salute you. Thank you so much for today."
Old Zhang smiled and said, "I'm not without my own benefits. Although I'm retired now, I'm not dead yet. If word gets out that I'm trading ambergris here today, I'll really make a name for myself in this business."
After a good meal, Old Zhang returned to his shop.
Wu An and Gu Anran drove straight to the hotel.
...
Having handled several important matters, Wu An should have been quite tired, but today, stunned by the 32 million yuan, he felt no sleepiness at all.
Gu Anran drew circles on his chest, looked up and saw him staring with his eyes darting around, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Wu An said, "I'm thinking about how to spend the money."
Gu Anran nodded: "Yes."
"That's a lot of money."
"I feel like I can never spend all my money."
Wu An smiled and said, "How about we start our retirement life now?"
Gu Anran shook her head: "You can retire."
"I can't."
"I don't want to just sit around and live off my savings."
"How about this, you keep your money, and I'll earn money for our daily expenses from now on."
"With such a solid foundation, I'm sure I can earn enough money for us to spend."
Wu Anle's hearty laughter.
What could be more invigorating than these words, as I lowered my head to kiss him?
