Pang Xiaonan leaned down, and the tip of his nose kept moving closer to the old ginseng, until he felt that the hairs on the tip of his nose touched the skin of the old ginseng, and he stopped.

Pang Xiaonan felt the fresh aura coming from the old mountain ginseng, he snorted violently, and a deep breath from the depths of the earth's crust rushed from his nostrils into his nasal cavity and went straight to his brain.

The shopkeeper looked at Pang Xiaonan's actions strangely, and began to wonder if Pang Xiaonan knew how to recognize the old ginseng, only to see Pang Xiaonan closed his eyes motionless, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After about seven or eight seconds, Pang Xiaonan opened his eyes, and he smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, boss, you can put this ginseng on the counter." ”

The shopkeeper frowned and said in surprise, "Little brother, aren't you interested in my old ginseng?"

Pang Xiaonan touched his nose and said, "Boss, I'm full of interest in your old ginseng, but it's not worth the price you said." ”

"Oh?" The shopkeeper was very dissatisfied with what Pang Xiaonan said, he was full of confidence in his medicinal materials, "Little brother, you can't talk nonsense, do you know the market? Ten years ago, a wild ginseng that reached a hundred years old was priced between 2 million and 3 million, if there was an emergency, it was possible for such a natural treasure to be sold for more than 5 million, and now another 10 years have passed, and the market of ginseng is no longer the same." ”

Pang Xiaonan smiled and said nothing, turned around to leave, but the shopkeeper grabbed him and said, "I'll tell you a story, don't say that I talk about it." "The shopkeeper has also been immersed in the medicinal materials industry for many days, so naturally there is a way to persuade these people who he sees as the real customers, he is not very cold to Pang Xiaonan, but he knows that Councilor Wang next to Pang Xiaonan must be a rich and noble person, maybe he is the real powerful boss who came to the rare medicinal materials in the black market, and what he wants to persuade is Pang Xiaonan, who helps Councilor Wang identify medicinal materials.

Pang Xiaonan stopped, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "You say." ”

"I have a friend who is a medical adviser to the army, and he once helped someone identify an old ginseng tree," a smug smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and many people were convinced by the expert, and this is true, "That old ginseng is said to be 120 years old, and the seller offered 20 million, guess the result?"

"20 million?" Peng Yuyan was the first to shout, "Is this simply a money grab, what medicinal materials are worth 20 million, and it is almost the same as eating this root to become an immortal." ”

Pang Xiaonan held down Peng Yuyan and made a "shhh" gesture.

The shopkeeper glanced at Peng Yuyan, ignored him, and continued: "My friend later identified the result, this ginseng is indeed a 120-year-old mountain ginseng, but he did not agree to the offer of 20 million, and finally reached a price that was satisfactory to both parties. ”

Pang Xiaonan continued to smile and didn't speak, nor did he have any surprised expression, the shopkeeper saw that his foreshadowing did not cause Pang Xiaonan's reaction, so he had to continue to tell the story, "In the end, this ginseng was sold for 12 million, so my ginseng, although it is not 120 years old, but with its nearly 100-year-old ginseng, the price of 3 million is not too much, right?"

Pang Xiaonan nodded and echoed the shopkeeper: "If your old ginseng is indeed close to a hundred years, the price of 3 million is not too much, but very cheap." ”

"Do you suspect that my old ginseng is not nearly 100 years old?" The shopkeeper had an angry face, he knew the details of his goods, how could he tolerate others tampering with them at will.

"No, no, no, you listen to me," Pang Xiaonan shook his head and explained slowly, "Look, 120 years of ginseng is sold for 12 million, that is, an average of 1 year of ginseng is 100,000 yuan, but the account is not calculated like this, the more you go to the back, the price of each year is a geometric multiple, otherwise your nearly 100-year-old ginseng is worth eight or nine million if it is not worth 10 million in proportion, right?"

The shopkeeper nodded, and said, "Yes, the price of ginseng is at the back, and the value of each year is not the price of the previous year as a reference, but the more it is at the back, the more valuable it is, and sometimes it will be tens of millions more expensive." The shopkeeper suddenly felt that Pang Xiaonan was still knowledgeable, so he played according to Pang Xiaonan's wishes.

Pang Xiaonan exaggerated his hands, "It's still ah, so you offered 3 million, which itself shows that you, the hundred-year-old mountain ginseng in your mouth, are actually not worth so much money!"

The shopkeeper's face was black and purple for a while, and finally he was angry: "You are simply a strong word, I offer 3 million, not to say that the age of the century-old ginseng is insufficient, just to give you a little benefit, if I don't see that you think the face is good, this old ginseng does not have 5 million, I will never sell it!"

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper, where did I say that your old ginseng is not old enough?"

"Then what do you mean!" The shopkeeper was already angry, Pang Xiaonan, who looked like a poor student, was here to discuss with him this treasure worth millions of dollars, why should he!

"I mean, you're an old ginseng, not wild. Pang Xiaonan explained lightly, there was no wave on his face, but he looked confident.

"You, you, you ......" The shopkeeper seemed a little speechless, and someone even questioned that his ginseng was not wild, and his tone suddenly became fierce, "Stinky boy, you said that my old ginseng is not wild, you can make sense, I can give you it for free!" But when it came to the back, his voice was much quieter.

Councilor Wang, who has been watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help but wonder, it seems that Pang Xiaonan did grasp some of the handles of the shopkeeper, otherwise, he would not be so ashamed, Councilor Wang crossed his hands in front of his chest with great interest, and quietly watched Pang Xiaonan play.

Pang Xiaonan walked to the counter where the wild ginseng was placed unhurriedly, supported the counter with one hand, and pointed to the old ginseng with the other and said: "This ginseng was indeed wild a few years ago, but it was dug up and then artificially planted in the mountains for cultivation, so it can only be said to be semi-wild." ”

Pang Xiaonan raised his eyebrows, blinked his eyes, and said: "Just like the local chicken we are talking about now, the chicken is a breed of local chicken, but after a period of stocking, it is artificially fed with feed, and it grows up quickly for sale, and it is called a native chicken to the outside world, a truth!"

Peng Yuyan nodded and said: "Indeed, if you want to eat real local chicken now, it is basically impossible, last time I went to the mountains to buy local chicken, those farmers were unwilling to sell it, saying that they kept it for themselves to eat, and the real wild ginseng, if it was dug up, I am afraid that I would have to keep it for myself." ”

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he still argued: "Hmph, what you say is what it is? This is a pure wild ginseng, which has been growing in the mountains for nearly a hundred years before it was dug up, and what you are analyzing is all crooked!"

Pang Xiaonan walked in front of the shopkeeper, smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, and said: "Shopkeeper, if I don't have any real skills, I don't dare to talk to you, I don't buy what I sell, but you are wrong today, I am not taking your words, I really smell the ingredients of your old ginseng, why do you bother? You offer 3 million and wait for an illiterate wrongdoer, it is better to trade with us who know the goods, doing business, cash flow is very important." ”

"You smell it......" Although the shopkeeper was unwilling, his mouth was obviously a little loose, "How did you smell it, you are not a dog, even if you are a dog, you can't tell the quality of medicinal materials by smelling it, right?"

"Eh, how can you compare the person who buys your things to a dog?" Pang Xiaonan had no scruples and continued to break the shopkeeper's defense, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the medicinal herbs are wild or artificially planted, I know as soon as I smell it, if your ginseng is 100% wild, it doesn't smell like this!" It obviously has some impurities on it, I can't tell you very clearly, in short, you should know in your heart, it's not interesting to pretend to be with us, we really want to buy this old ginseng, doing business is not who wants to take advantage of whom, is it a win-win situation for everyone?"

Pang Xiaonan lost no time in throwing a flattering look at the shopkeeper, which gave the shopkeeper goosebumps, not that Pang Xiaonan was disgusting, it was indeed Pang Xiaonan who was right. This old ginseng is not much different from what Pang Xiaonan said, it is indeed not the old ginseng that was dug recently, and the seller told him the basic situation when he received it.

"Then you say," the shopkeeper subconsciously pushed Pang Xiaonan away, "How much are you willing to pay!" The shopkeeper threw the ball to Pang Xiaonan, anyway, this kid is clear, if he opens the right price, sell him, if the price is lower than his expectations, don't sell it, it's very simple.

"1 million!" Pang Xiaonan raised a finger and stared straight at the shopkeeper.

"You...... You are dreaming!" the shopkeeper's chubby face had a hideous expression of anger, obviously he had not seen such an unreasonable customer in his business for so long, he picked up the white porcelain plate containing the old mountain ginseng, and was about to lock it into the counter.

"Boss," Pang Xiaonan grabbed the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let me tell you, if you sell it to me for 1 million, you can still make hundreds of thousands, if you don't sell it to me, you don't know when and what month your old ginseng is sold here, you also know that ginseng is a thing, and only someone pays a high price when it is in an emergency, and it is not easy to meet a seller." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and Pang Xiaonan was right, "How do you know that I won't be able to sell? Also, how do you know that you can still make hundreds of thousands of dollars by selling you for 1 million? Do you know my purchase price?" Although the shopkeeper was very disgusted with Pang Xiaonan's counteroffer, Pang Xiaonan's judgment was unexpectedly accurate.

"If my guess is correct, you won't collect more than 700,000 old ginseng!" Pang Xiaonan said categorically, in fact, he also guessed blindly, sometimes luck is very important in this collection of medicinal materials, but to collect an old ginseng, the average second-way dealer does not dare to smash the sky-high price, if it is smashed in his hands, the loss will be great.

The shopkeeper cited the example of the 120-year-old ginseng that sold 12 million, after all, it is an example, and it cannot be taken to the market, this is the difference between the top baby and the general baby, and the one that can circulate in the market is an ordinary baby.

Therefore, Pang Xiaonan boldly estimated that the shopkeeper's collection of this old ginseng will definitely not exceed 1 million, you know, hundreds of thousands of old ginseng, if you can't sell it, this preservation will become a big problem, if it is not stored properly, the medicinal materials have been eroded, and finally even the book can not be recovered.

Pang Xiaonan grasped this characteristic of medicinal materials and boldly bargained with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said strongly: "Even if I collect 700,000 yuan, I won't lose 1 million yuan to sell you, right?"

"No loss, no loss," Pang Xiaonan saw that he had guessed correctly, and smiled, "Do business, once you are born and twice cooked, next time you have any good medicinal materials, we can buy them from you." Also, if you don't know the true condition of the herbs in the future, I can help you. After speaking, Pang Xiaonan sincerely took out his mobile phone, opened the flying falcon, and showed the shopkeeper his e-wallet.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, Pang Xiaonan's e-wallet showed more than 1 million, at first the shopkeeper thought that Pang Xiaonan was just a follower, it turned out that this was the main master, Pang Xiaonan said: "How about it, boss, we are really doing business with you, don't hesitate." ”

The shopkeeper's right hand was propped up on the countertop, and a few fingers were tapping on the countertop alternately, he was thinking about Pang Xiaonan's conditions, indeed, if 1 million sold this old ginseng, the profit would not be big, just like Pang Xiaonan said, he received 700,000 yuan, only earned 300,000 yuan, and spent his store rent, time cost, capital interest, etc., and basically did not make any money.

However, if you don't sell it, put it for a long time, I'm afraid that you will lose a lot, and it is not without a customer who meets 3 million, it is indeed more difficult to wait, I am afraid that I can't wait, I have to take this old ginseng to stew soup and make up for it, the shopkeeper is not short of money, but to take 1 million old ginseng to make up, he thinks that he has not yet reached that level.

What makes the shopkeeper most excited is the conditions put forward by Pang Xiaonan later, such as a long-term cooperative customer, and Pang Xiaonan's amazing judgment skills.

When the shopkeeper went to collect this old ginseng, if it wasn't for the seller's honesty, saying that this old ginseng was not 100% wild, with his own skills, he wouldn't have been able to distinguish it at all, and he wouldn't dare to buy it at that price. If you have Pang Xiaonan's help in the future, you can't judge it for sure, as long as you call Pang Xiaonan over, you will be very sure.

After more than ten seconds, the shopkeeper finally made up his mind and stretched out his right hand to Pang Xiaonan, "Okay, deal!"

Pang Xiaonan also stretched out his right hand, smiled and clasped with the shopkeeper, "Deal!"

Subsequently, Pang Xiaonan added the shopkeeper's flying falcon, and immediately transferred 1 million, and the shopkeeper took out a delicate satin-wrapped wooden box from the backstage, carefully packed the old mountain ginseng into the wooden box, and handed it to Pang Xiaonan's hands.

The shopkeeper held Pang Xiaonan's hand with his right hand, patted Pang Xiaonan's shoulder with his left hand, and sighed with emotion: "Little brother, you are so capable, it is the first time for me to do such a loss-making business, but I have to admire you, your judgment of medicinal materials is really accurate, just smell it, I know that it is not pure wild, and I will rely on you more in this business in the future." ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say," Pang Xiaonan pointed to Councilor Wang next to him, "Actually, we came here today mainly to find some tonic for him, but I have taken a fancy to your old ginseng, if you have other good medicinal materials in the future, notify us in time, he is not a bad man!"

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and then he smiled: "That's natural, once born and twice cooked, we will be old friends in the future, and we will definitely notify you first if there are good things." "The shopkeeper has always been optimistic about Councilor Wang's financial resources, Pang Xiaonan's follower can take out 1 million casually, so Councilor Wang is naturally more tyrant, with these uncles, he will be even more careless in purchasing medicinal materials in the future.

Peng Yuyan raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said to Pang Xiaonan: "The gambling stone conference is about to start, let's go." ”

"So you are also here to participate in the Gambling Stone Conference?" the shopkeeper was a little surprised, "I came today to see the store, mainly to participate in the Gambling Stone Conference, you go first, I will clean up the store and then come." ”

The three of them left the store, and Councilor Wang asked Pang Xiaonan curiously: "Where did you get so much money?"

Pang Xiaonan smiled mysteriously: "Snakes have snake roads, rats have rat roads, I naturally have my own way." ”

Councilor Wang laughed: "Okay, since you don't say it, I won't ask, but you can always tell me, why do you judge that the old ginseng is not pure wild, just smell it like that?"

Pang Xiaonan touched his nose and said: "My nose is not to smell the smell, I am to pass the breath of that old ginseng into the brain, and then analyze it, you can use my brain as a beaker or chromatograph in the laboratory, etc., I can distinguish the specific composition of that old ginseng." "In fact, Pang Xiaonan judged the growth environment and year of the old ginseng by analyzing the spiritual power level of the ginseng, if it was really a 100-year-old wild ginseng, its spiritual power would not be as weak as the spiritual power that Pang Xiaonan had just absorbed.

Councilor Wang nodded, he understood Pang Xiaonan's explanation a little, pointed to Pang Xiaonan's head and said, "Then you are a chemical head, which is more accurate than an experimental instrument!"

Peng Yuyan took Pang Xiaonan and Councilor Wang towards the jade area on the second floor of the basement, passing by many shops selling jewelry, Pang Xiaonan was secretly surprised, he pointed to a crown and asked Peng Yuyan: "Don't tell me, there are still royal goods transactions from various countries in this black market." ”

Peng Yuyan smiled and said, "What's so strange about this, that crown looks like it was worn by the queen of a small country, and there are not many gems on it." A crown like this is not a valuable thing, and if you find the crown of our country, it will be enough to surprise you, but those things will not be sold here openly, or in other words, you will rarely have the opportunity to see them. ”

"Of course it's hard to see," Pang Xiaonan pouted and said, "There are only a few crowns in Huaguo, and many of them are missing, and the ones that have been handed down are even more precious." ”

While talking, several people walked into a large hall, like a hotel, with brilliant lights and a bustling crowd. Long tables were set up around the hall, and the tables were covered with red flannel, and on top of the flannel, there were black jade rough stones.

The whole book
