Chapter 37: Ginseng Sales

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Shengnan had grown more accepting of Zhang Cheng otherwise he would have turned into her sandbag on the spot.

“At most once!” But she still warned him in advance.

Zhang Cheng was stunned when he heard that. So be it.

Anyway, he had already volleyed twice with Xiang Xiang previously.

Half an hour later, Zhang Cheng was satisfied.

Zhao Shengnan had actually learned how to fight back for the top position. However, she was still no match for him.

After resting for a moment, Zhao Shengnan got up and actually planned to watch the footage of the boxing match again.

Zhang Cheng felt helpless.

“Sleep.”

Zhao Shengnan hesitated for a moment. “I’ll watch it a few more times. There are a few segments that I really need to take a closer look.”

Since Zhao Shengnan had already said so, what could Zhang Cheng do? He could only get up and accompany her.

After opening the fridge, he looked at the empty fridge. Zhang Cheng blinked his eyes and could only close it again.

Zhao Shengnan glanced at it.

“I always buy and eat on the same day.” It was obvious that she did not have the habit of using a fridge.

Zhang Cheng was a little helpless. Right after furnishing her apartment, he had thought of disguising the origin of his ginseng and went out of town. He did not have the time to buy groceries for Zhao Shengnan.

He moved a stool and sat with Zhao Shengnan. Zhang Cheng once again made up his mind to buy a big sofa.

After watching the boxing match with Zhao Shengnan for a while, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhao Shengnan, who was watching the match attentively without even blinking her eyes.

“Do you like boxing so much?”

“Yes.” She casually replied, “I’ve been practicing boxing since I was 14.”

Zhang Cheng blinked his eyes and seemed to be deep in thought.

After watching the video of the match that lasted less than five minutes over and over again, Zhao Shengnan was finally ready to go to sleep.

The next day, Zhao Shengnan bought breakfast for Zhang Cheng and went to train on her own.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Cheng returned to Xiang Xiang and took out one of the ginseng that was kept fresh in the refrigerator. He took out one dry ginseng and one fresh ginseng each from the one-day batch, and one dry ginseng and one fresh ginseng each from the ten-day batch. Then, he dialed the number of Guan Da Qiang.

Old Man Guan had been calling every now and then to ask about the ginseng.

Zhang Cheng thought that it was better to sell the ginseng to the grandfather as soon as possible so that the other party would not continue to ask.

When he heard that Zhang Cheng finally had ginseng, Old Man Guan was quite happy.

He arranged to meet at the teahouse.

“Uncle Guan, I found dried ginseng and fresh ginseng this time. Which one would you like?” Zhang Cheng said as he took out the ginseng.

Old Master Guan took the white gloves from his assistant and carefully checked the differences between the ginseng.

Even if he didn’t know much about ginseng, he could clearly see that the ten-day ginseng was much better than the one-day ginseng.

“What are the prices?”

“50,000 for three years, 80,000 for three years, 600,000 for 20 years, and 750,000 for 20 years fresh,” Zhang Cheng said. This was decided after some consideration.

Grandfather Guan nodded. “Okay, I’ll take them all. Little Cheng, do you still have any more?” He looked like he was going to give all of Zhang Cheng’s ginseng to Bao Yuan.

“Old Guan, you old rascal, you’re not honest.” Yan Xu’s voice came from outside. Obviously, he had heard his old friend’s words.

Old Master Guan was not surprised to see his old friend. After all, this teahouse was a place where his old friends often came and went.

They drank tea, played chess, chatted, and had a meal.

The waiters who had brought Old Master Yan over saw that the few of them were chatting and bowed before leaving the private room.

Old Master Yan walked over and was surprised to find that Zhang Cheng actually had fresh ginseng.

“Not bad. Hey, did you find any fresh ginseng this time?”

“Uncle Yan.” Zhang Cheng stood up and greeted him.

“Sit.” After Old Master Yan sat down, he said to Old Master Guan, “Old Yang, Old Zhang, Old Bai, and the others are also thinking about that. If you cover it yourself, aren’t you afraid that they will find trouble with you?”

When Old Master Guan heard his old friend’s threat, he also smiled bitterly. “Okay, okay, okay. Who asked you to touch that? I’ll give you some, okay?”

Then, he turned to look at Zhang Cheng with some concern, wanting to know the number of ginseng.

“Uncle Guan, I brought back a total of 15 3-year-old ginseng, 10 3-year-old fresh ginseng, 5 20-year-old ginseng, and 3 20-year-old fresh ginseng.”

Old Master Guan calculated the total price in his heart.

Old Master Yan casually asked about the price.

Naturally, no secrets were shared between the old men. Zhang Cheng told Old Master Guan about the price of the fresh ginseng.

“It’s a total of 6.8 million, right? I’ll take it all.” The wealthy Old Man Guan spent a few million as if he was buying cabbage. He was not reluctant at all.

“Little Cheng, this won’t do. You can’t just sell it to Guan. I want at least half of it. How about this, you sell these to Old Guan and we’ll go somewhere else to talk.” When Old Man Yan heard that Zhang Cheng had gotten so much ginseng this time… he immediately tore down the table.

Old Master Guan immediately became anxious.

“Old Yan, you’re too wicked. I’ve already agreed to give you some.”

Old Master Yan chuckled. “If you don’t calculate it to 6.8 million, I’ll believe it.”

After all, Zhang Cheng’s stock was 6.8 million in total.

Old Master Guan smacked his lips.

Since he had spent the money, he could just give some ginseng seeds to his old buddy, or at least that was what he thought. He didn’t expect to be seen through by Old Master Yan.

In the end, the two old men discussed how to distribute the ginseng this time.

Old Master Yang of the Poplar Tree and Old Master Zhang Yuan just happened to come over. They were preparing to make do with breakfast when they found out that the others were here and rushed over.

Soon, Old Master Yan received the notice and rushed over.

A few old friends bumped into each other, and some of them even broke up.

And this was all over Zhang Cheng’s ginseng, the most important item at the moment.

Fortunately, the few old men had interacted with each other for half of their lives, and finally decided to split the matter equally.

Of course, it wasn’t completely fair. At least it was roughly done.

Seeing that the old men had finished discussing, Zhang Cheng returned to his residence to fetch the remaining ginseng.

Although Zhang Cheng also knew that his ginseng had established itself firmly in the seller’s market, as long as he wanted to, he could set the price of the ginseng very high. He was not afraid that these rich old men would not buy it, but there was no need for that.

Having enough money was one thing, but directly raising the price of the ginseng to a sky-high price was only going to earn their ire.

He was still young, he did not want to attract too much attention.

When the mountain resort at Reliance Village was developed, the price of ginseng would naturally follow suit.

Moreover, maintaining a price that made the old men feel that they were taking advantage of him was also to pave the way for the accumulation of the market in the future.

After all, everyone had three or five good friends, especially rich people like the old men. It was hard not to show off and share good things with friends.

By then, the fame of the ginseng would slowly rise.

Just like Yan Xu and Old Man Yan, they helped him introduce the buyer, Old man Guan.

He watched the old men pass his ginseng along.

Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said, “Uncle Yan, I have something here that I wonder if you can help me with?”
