To be honest, Gu Chen had never dug before, and he really just thought that ginseng was something that got more valuable the older it got.
He wanted to make it more valuable.
But when he saw Ji Guangsheng's shocked expression, he was a little overwhelmed himself.
What's going on?
Hearing Mr. Ji ask, Uncle Guangsheng had to crane his neck to take a look.
Upon seeing it, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
He couldn't be dreaming, could he? This ginseng was at least a few hundred years old.
Was Gu Chen sure he wasn't joking?
How many more treasures did he have in his hands?
Just from the colour, texture and shape of the roots,
not to mention the price, this one alone was worth at least a million, if not several million.
However, the price is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that I have only seen such a thing in books before, and this is the first time I have seen a live one.
He can guarantee that there are not many people in the world who have seen something he has not seen.
Ji Pianran also walked over with a nervous face.
She had just seen it clearly.
Gu Chen had casually taken out a hundred-year-old ginseng from the nylon bag.
The action was as casual as grabbing a bunch of green onions.
'This ginseng is at least 500 years old. Where did it come from?' She stared into Gu Chen's eyes and spoke in a flustered voice.
Gu Chen sensed that there was something wrong with the ginseng from her nervous tone.
But it's not right, isn't this thing the older the better?
This ginseng of mine... Could it be that it's too old?
Otherwise, it wouldn't be that several people are shocked, especially Ji Guangsheng.
He is a man who has seen the world.
'Oh, this, this is from a friend of mine who dug it up from the back of the mountain. I saw that it looked pretty good, so I bought the whole thing and was going to sell it myself.' Gu Chen felt a little guilty.
'Oh, bought it from a friend.'
Ji Pianran's face still showed some of the shock, and she repeated it subconsciously.
After all, Gu Chen really does have a lot of friends, and she knows it, otherwise he wouldn't be playing mahjong all over the place.
If Uncle Guang had a stroke, there was no knowing how many more of these ginsengs Gu Chen had.
That was terrifying.
'How much did you pay for it?' He rubbed his hands together nervously and looked at Gu Chen.
Ji Guangsheng didn't say another word, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Gu Chen.
It was obvious that he was eager to know the answer too.
'Oh, when it was sold to me, it was in a box, with about ten of them, and it cost 30,000 yuan in total.'
He told a lie with no hint of embarrassment.
The things originally cost 150 yuan each, and a total of 1,500 yuan was spent. Now that he had been growing them for so long, they should have increased in value several times over, so Gu Chen said 30,000.
However, from their shock, Gu Chen also vaguely understood that these things might be very valuable.
It should be worth much more than 30,000 yuan.
Sure enough, Uncle Guang immediately broke into a smile. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, 'You got a bargain, boy!'
This stuff is worth millions of yuan each, and Gu Chen got it for just 30,000 yuan?
And there are more than ten of them. Now Gu Chen is going to get rich.
Bai Guang really did consider Gu Chen his own person, and couldn't help but feel happy for him.
Ji Guangsheng also found it a bit unbelievable.
But he didn't think much of it.
After all, Gu Chen was from the countryside, and so were his friends.
Probably none of them knew the real price of the item, so it was not unusual for them to sell it for 30,000 yuan.
After all, 30,000 yuan was indeed a lot of money in the eyes of a rural person.
Besides, weren't there still many valuable old objects in the countryside that were thrown away like rubbish?
It could be said that they were used to seeing strange things.
'This gift is too valuable for me to accept, but you can sell it to me. I'll give you a good price. What do you say?' Ji Guangsheng said.
Although his face still had the same calm and composed expression, his heart was secretly excited.
His family had been in the medicine business for generations.
A few hundred years of experience was unique in the market.
Ten hundred-year-old ginseng, combined with some other medicinal herbs, could be used to make a very high-end health product.
It would definitely be snapped up by many wealthy people.
These people are strange. In fact, they probably don't need to take such expensive supplements.
But they will buy them!
It's not just about health, it's about face.
When doing business, they will intentionally or unintentionally brew a cup.
Or they will put a box in the office, which is enough to show their status and value.
This is not vanity, but a small trick to show their value.
As for why.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
When doing business, everyone wants to see the other party's financial strength.
They are also more willing to do business with people who have strength.
As for how to tell if the strength is real or fake, it requires further careful observation.
Some people may say that this is very simple, just look at the clothes, the car, and the company.
These things are really too one-sided.
All those bosses are decked out in designer clothes and watches.
The standard is a Mercedes-Benz or a Bentley.
Who would admit that their company's cash flow has actually dried up?
Everything they say is to impress the other person. To put it bluntly, they will say whatever you want to hear.
It's hard to say whether a few words are true and a few are not.
In fact, the real upper class don't pay any attention to these things. After all, no matter how expensive a piece of clothing is, how valuable can it be? A million is already a sky-high price.
Cars are indeed a good way to observe people, but some things are deceptive. It's hard to guarantee that they aren't borrowed.
After you've left, they may return it, or they may delay returning it for a few days.
These things are too easy to deceive and too false.
But looking at his diet, that is absolutely infallible.
For example, what kind of tea he drinks and what kind of tea set he uses.
Even what health products he eats, this is absolutely safe.
After all, there is no way to borrow imported things. If you want them, you have to buy them!
This is why many wealthy people, when they enter a door, first offer their guests tea.
Their tea is very expensive.
Even a box of tea is more expensive than the car that ordinary people buy.
Ji Guangsheng, who came from a wealthy family, deeply understood this truth.
He knew that if the ginseng was real, then even ten of them would be enough to turn his medical career around.
He could even return to Sichuan City early and crush the Xu family!
Get rid of this biggest rival and hidden danger.
And if he did, he would be doing Gu Chen a favour.
After all, he was his son-in-law.
A son-in-law is like a son, and he also hoped that Gu Chen would do well. With such a large sum of money, he believed that Gu Chen would soon succeed.
Of course, Gu Chen had no idea that in just a minute, Ji Guangsheng had already come up with a perfect plan in his head.
He just felt embarrassed to accept it.
He smiled sincerely.
'Dad, I'm not selling this, I'm just giving it to you. You're not well, so this is to strengthen your body. In the past few years, I haven't been able to be by your side, so this ginseng is a token of our filial piety. If it's not enough, I have more. Just keep taking it until you get better.'
