Chapter 28: Selling at a High Price
In the afternoon, Chu Jiaqiang first finished planting the remaining fruit trees and then watered them again. He found that the fruit trees planted yesterday had taken root, which might also be the effect of the spiritual water.
At night, Little Jin surrounded Chu Jiaqiang again, wanting him to eat the peaches from before. Chu Jiaqiang smiled wryly, in the Shanhe Map, a small bamboo forest had already grown, which was the result of him secretly digging up some small bamboo shoots from Bamboo Mountain and transplanting them inside. He plucked a bamboo shoot and threw it at Little Jin.
Xiao Jin sniffed with his nose and his eyes became brighter. Compared to peaches, this kind of bamboo shoots could stimulate its appetite even more. With Chu Jiaqiang sitting beside him, Xiao Jin started eating voraciously as if no one was around.
The next day, Chu Jiaqiang hitched a ride on Chu Shengyi's tractor. He was going to the city to deal with those two He Shou Wu plants.
Jiang Tao, who had come to collect the cicada shells, learned that Chu Jiaqiang was going to town and smiled: "Why not wait a bit and go with us? The truck can seat four people in front."
"Oh! That's right! Then I'll just hitch a ride with Brother Jiang." Chu Jiaqiang was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, this kind of thing is naturally hard to come by.
"By the way, Chu, what brings you to the city? Maybe I can help out a bit. Hehe!" Jiang Tao isn't a big shot in the city, but he still has some connections.
"Oh no! I almost forgot that Jiang is also in this line of work." Chu Jiaqiang slapped his forehead, isn't the person in front of him the manager of the large pharmacy? He Xiuwu is a well-known figure, how could he not recognize him?
Jiang Tao felt a bit strange and asked doubtfully: "What's going on? Tell me."
"Look! These are the two connected He Shou Wu that I dug up in the mountains. Brother Jiang, help me take a look."
"Ah! He Shou Wu? It looks like it's not young, and it's even a twin, rare!" Jiang Tao immediately snatched the He Shou Wu, looking left and right, with occasional "tsk tsk" sounds of admiration coming from his mouth.
"Chu, little brother, how about selling these two He Shou Wu to our Changchun pharmacy? I'll help you apply for the highest price within my power, what do you say?" Jiang Tao still held the He Shou Wu tightly and showed no intention of returning it to Chu Jiaqiang.
"That's the best! Anyway, going to the city is just to deal with these two He Shou Wu, as long as the price is reasonable, it doesn't matter who buys them." Chu Jiaqiang said indifferently. This way is also good, saves him from running around in the city.
Jiang Tao nodded and immediately went to one side to contact the store owner by phone. The store owner asked repeatedly, was that He Shou Wu really wild? Was it really over 80 years old? Or was it a twin... Jiang Tao had carefully examined it many times before and replied solemnly. After getting confirmation from the store owner, he immediately let Jiang Tao purchase it and make an offer within the allowed range.
"Chu Lao Di, we want these two He Shou Wu at Chang Chun Da Yao Fang for 320 yuan per gram, what do you think?" Jiang Tao ran over and said.
"Isn't that expensive? I checked last night, and this year's model is only around 200. Brother Jiang, are you sure? Don't mess it up and end up losing money, or I'll be to blame." Chu Jiaqiang was taken aback.
Chu Shengyi and Chu Shengmin were both stunned, over 300 grams? They also wondered in their hearts: is it a kilogram or a gram? The difference between the two is thousands of times. Chu Shengmin remembered his daughter's words yesterday, this thing is really worth more than gold! These two He Shou Wu plants look like they have more than four kilograms, that would be over 700,000 yuan. Over 700,000 yuan, in Chujia Village, that would make them the richest of all.
"Haha! That's usually the case, but these two are special, twins, and the price is much higher. Don't worry! Old brother isn't that muddled!" Jiang Tao smiled, his good impression of Chu Jiaqiang deepening, this young man wasn't greedy, worth getting to know better.
"That's good, I'll just sell it to you then, no need for me to make a trip." Chu Jiaqiang nodded in agreement, agreeing to sell the He Shou Wu to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao quickly finished the shell business and then followed Chu Jiaqiang to the only store in town with an electronic scale. After weighing, it was a total of 2,482 grams. That's more than 794,000 yuan. Jiang Tao rounded up again and gave Chu Jiaqiang 795,000 yuan.
Chu Shengyi and Second Uncle were still in a daze, feeling unreal. Chu Jiaqiang had only been back for less than half a month, and with the previous fruits, they had already made over 800,000 yuan. This speed of making money was terrifying. With such ability, why go work in the city?
Second Uncle has secretly started making plans for Chu Jiaqiang. Now, in this situation, he no longer insists on Chu Jiaqiang going to the city. With 800,000 yuan, life in the countryside will not be worse than in the city. For the rest of his life, even if he doesn't work, he won't have to worry about making a living. He thinks that Chu Jiaqiang is also getting older and plans to let his wife find a good girl for him. Now that Chu Jiaqiang has established himself, all that's left is to get married.
Because there was no bank in the town, Chu Jiaqiang did not want a check, so Jiang Tao had to go to the rural credit union to transfer money to Chu Jiaqiang.
The staff at the credit union learned that the other party was going to transfer nearly 800,000. The manager personally entertained Chu Jiaqiang and Jiang Tao in the VIP area, calling his trusted assistant to immediately provide VIP transfer services for them.
In Heqian Town, 800,000 is a huge amount. Usually, many people only save and withdraw one or two thousand yuan, and it's rare to see more than ten thousand. Exceeding 800,000 is extremely rare.
People who were depositing and withdrawing money in the hall also cast sideways glances.
After transferring the money to Chu Jiaqiang's account, Chu Jiaqiang and Jiang Tao left the credit union under the manager's escort.
"Little brother, if you find this kind of wild and precious medicinal material again in the future, you must keep it for me. The price that big brother will give you will definitely make you satisfied." Jiang Tao said to Chu Jiaqiang before leaving.
"Haha! Brother Jiang, you think this is just a trivial matter! In the end, it's all the same. Being able to meet once is already a great fortune." Chu Jiaqiang shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Haha! Am I not also getting a preventive shot? Who made your hometown treasure so numerous, and you little guy are so lucky, who can say for sure? Maybe you'll even run into it again!" Jiang Tao laughed.
Second Uncle immediately promised to let Chu Jiaqiang notify him first if he found such a treasure.
After Jiang Tao left, Chu Shengyi patted Chu Jiaqiang's shoulder and said with envy: "You little guy, you're really making people jealous! You've only been back for a few days, and you've discovered all the treasures in the mountains. It seems that knowledge is very important!" He sighed again. If no one recognized them, even if there were many treasures in the mountains, they would still be useless.
"Haha! It's just luck, if it wasn't for Xiaojin, we wouldn't have found out. Who would go to a place like Tianji Peak without a reason? There aren't even roads there." Chu Jiaqiang attributed everything to luck and pushed the responsibility onto Xiaojin.
