Chapter 283: Chapter 284: A Successful Sale

The medicinal herb buyer was in a tough spot. The purchaser had made an offer too good to refuse.

However, despite speaking with numerous herb suppliers, not a single one had found any wild ginseng.

This was to be expected, really. Finding wild ginseng in a place like this was never going to be easy.

He was just about to eat when he received a picture from Li Yang.

As a buyer of traditional medicines, he recognized it at a glance. He shot to his feet, his voice trembling slightly. "This... This is a century-old ginseng!"

Overjoyed, he immediately gave Li Yang a call.

"Li Yang, you found a century-old ginseng?"

Li Yang chuckled. "My luck was pretty good. I actually managed to find one."

"That’s wonderful!" the boss said, slapping his thigh. "Should I show it to them, then? We’ll start with the picture, and if they’re interested, we can make the deal."

"By the way, I have a question," Li Yang asked. "Are they also in the traditional medicine business?"

"Yes!" The boss nodded. "They’re one of the bigger business associations in the country in this field. Don’t worry, they’re reputable."

"I’m not worried about their reputation. How about this," Li Yang said after a moment of thought. "See if you can set up a meeting with them. Just tell them... if they’re interested in this line of work, I might be able to establish a long-term partnership."

The boss’s heart skipped a beat, and he grew anxious. "Are you trying to cut me out and work directly with them...?"

Li Yang laughed and reassured him, "Don’t worry, Boss. I’m not the kind of person to go back on my word. I just have something I’d like to ask them. Just talk to them and see if they’re willing to meet with me."

The boss finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, I’ll set it up with them."

"Great. Let me know once it’s arranged!"

...

In fact, the meeting was arranged for the very next day. Li Yang drove his car into the city.

The meeting was to take place at the boss’s medicinal herb shop.

When he entered, Li Yang saw a middle-aged man standing across from him.

"Let me make the introductions. This is Manager Zhang, the one looking to acquire the wild ginseng. And this is Boss Li, the one who found it."

"Hello, Manager Zhang!"

Manager Zhang nodded and said with a smile, "Boss Li, of all the wild ginseng our company has been aggressively acquiring lately, yours is the highest quality. However, that’s just based on the pictures. We’ll have to see the real thing to be sure."

Li Yang smiled slightly and took out the wild ginseng.

As soon as Manager Zhang saw it, he quickly took it with both hands and began to examine it carefully.

The longer he looked, the more delighted his expression became, until finally, he began to tremble.

"It’s real. A century-old ginseng. It really is!"

He carefully placed the wild ginseng on the table and looked at Li Yang with a broad smile. "This is truly incredible. This kind of wild ginseng is nearly impossible to find these days. I can’t believe you actually found a century-old one."

The greatest effect of wild ginseng is to restore one’s vital energy and prolong one’s life.

You could say that for many people whose time is nearly up, those with enough money can buy a century-old ginseng to hang on to life.

Of course, most people don’t have that kind of money.

These days, even if you had the money, you wouldn’t necessarily be able to buy an item like this.

It’s a true rarity, and they’re becoming scarcer by the day.

"Manager Zhang, how much is this worth?" This was the question Li Yang cared about most.

The boss cleared his throat, feeling a little wronged. ’This is supposed to be my negotiation.’

Manager Zhang laughed and said to the boss, "As for the wild ginseng, I’ve confirmed it’s authentic. Three million. Take it or leave it."

Three million!

Li Yang’s heart pounded with excitement.

’If I really get three million, I’ll go find Liuwan immediately.’

’It’s not enough money, but I can pay the deposit and have her start construction on my road right away.’

’As for the rest... I’ll earn it over time.’

"What about me?" The boss was a little stunned.

"Two hundred thousand for you, as a finder’s fee," Manager Zhang said.

The boss gritted his teeth. While it wasn’t as profitable as if he’d handled the transaction himself, things had reached a point where he didn’t seem to have any other choice.

’Besides,’ he thought, ’I can’t afford to offend either of them. It’s better to do them both a favor.’

"Fine, let’s do it that way!"

"Excellent!" Manager Zhang laughed. "Give me your account numbers, and I’ll have our finance department wire you the money."

He was certainly a man of his word; as soon as they provided the account numbers, the money was transferred.

Manager Zhang carefully placed the ginseng into a special container and put it away. With a smile, he said, "Well, I’ll be taking this ginseng then. By the way, Boss Li, if you get any more stock in the future, be sure to contact us."

"Of course!" Li Yang said with a smiling nod.

As Manager Zhang made to leave, Li Yang quickly stepped forward to catch up with him.

Outside, a black sedan was waiting for Manager Zhang.

"Manager Zhang, wait a moment!" Li Yang said, stepping up to him.

Manager Zhang stopped. "Is there something?"

He raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat displeased.

"Don’t get the wrong idea," Li Yang began to explain. "I just wanted to ask you something. Do you happen to sell iron-wire grass?"
