178: Advanced intelligence update! A massive black ten worth 250,000!

Zheng Liu Chang heard the sound of the door opening, looked up, and was stunned for a moment.

He showed a mouth full of white teeth and quickly grabbed two tissues to wipe his mouth.

"Godfather! You're here! What good things did you bring this time?"

"The stock at our Yunshang Pavilion is almost sold out; I really need new items!"

Zheng Liu Chang was full of flattery, grinning as he grabbed Chen Kai's arm and pulled him into the room fawningly.

Chen Kai was a bit unaccustomed to this sudden enthusiasm and quickly pushed away his Fatty hands.

"Enough! You're making me scared with your enthusiasm today! Just hurry up and eat your food!"

Zheng Liu Chang chuckled, "Hehe~ Alright, sit down, Godfather. Have you eaten yet? How about we share a bite?"

Chen Kai shook his head and chuckled, "I'll go grab a meal myself after I finish selling this. I won't eat your takeout."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Liu Chang widened his eyes. The sausage on his chopsticks hadn't even reached his mouth before he put it back in the bowl.

"Damn! You're actually eating alone behind my back! That's too much!"

"Wait! What do you want to sell today? Let me see what good goods Godfather has brought? Hehe~ It just so happens that the old antiques we stocked in the shop have all been sold by me, and what's left is hard to move."

"The big brothers and big sisters in my livestream room have been urging me to list new products for the past two days, but I haven't received much stock recently. The stock I collect in a week gets snatched up in two hours, and I can't go to other Pawnshops to source goods every day."

Zheng Liu Chang said helplessly, then let out a long sigh.

His face was full of emo; this feeling of having money but being unable to make it was too painful.

Moreover, he couldn't go to other Pawnshops to source goods every day.

Pawnshops always buy at low prices and sell at high prices; even if they sell to peers, it's at a high price.

If he went to source goods, he wouldn't make much money, and selling at a price higher than the market rate would make customers think he was black-hearted and greedy in the long run once they compared prices.

If he didn't sell it at a high price, he wouldn't make any money. Sourcing from other shops is only meant for situations where a wealthy client suddenly wants to buy a specific item and doesn't care about the price.

If he always sourced goods, wouldn't he be ruining his own reputation? He was still counting on the livestream to make more money.

Chen Kai raised an eyebrow when he heard this situation.

"Is the livestream business that hot right now?"

"Yeah, it's all thanks to Godfather's guidance back then."

Chen Kai nodded silently and took out the Zhongquan Thirty copper coin from his pocket.

"Take a look at this. Do you want it?"

Zheng Liu Chang: ?!

"Holy crap!! Zhongquan Thirty?? My livestream big brother was asking if I had one yesterday! I told him this thing is too rare now, and I haven't received one yet!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap!!! Godfather! My dear Godfather! You delivered this so timely! Just this Zhongquan Thirty could host an auction in the livestream room; these collectors could fight each other for it!"

Zheng Liu Chang was full of excitement; this item was just too good.

The price wasn't too expensive, it was rare, and furthermore, this Zhongquan Thirty that Chen Kai brought was authentic at a glance!! The condition was also very good.

Just scoring it on condition alone, it could get an eight out of ten; it didn't have rust to the point where you couldn't see its original appearance at all.

But there was a faint rust stain on it, which could prove it was an old item. The condition was simply perfect!

"Godfather! You must sell this to me! I'll give you half of the carnival from the big brother!!!"

Chen Kai raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.

"Name your price!"

"Fifty thousand plus seven hundred!!"

"Deal!"

Chen Kai immediately handed the Zhongquan Thirty to Zheng Liu Chang and slowly got up to leave.

When he walked to the door and looked back, he found that Zheng Liu Chang had already started showing it off in the livestream room.

Chen Kai smiled faintly. The next moment, the WeChat payment notification sound rang.

He picked up his phone, saw the transfer of fifty thousand plus seven hundred, and collected the payment immediately.

Only then did he smile faintly, get in his car, and head towards the Rental House.

By the time he returned to the Rental House, it was already four or five o'clock, so he simply had a meal downstairs.

After going upstairs, he lay on the bed scrolling through short videos and quickly came across a news item.

[Shock!!! American Ginseng and Fresh Ginseng are encountering a once-in-a-century viral plant disease!! All experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences are actively rescuing them!!]

[Shock! American Ginseng prices are skyrocketing; raw ginseng materials are rising, and ginseng products are likely to rise in price too!]

Chen Kai curled his lips. So the viral plant disease had already started to break out?

However, the video's likes and views were not very high; it seemed that the public didn't care much about this matter.

They rarely came into contact with ginseng-related products in their daily lives.

Just like Yigenshen's energy-supplementing water, it was something drunk by people working overtime.

And it wasn't something they had to drink; maybe it was just a psychological effect.

Besides that, things like ginseng honey slices were only cared about by the elderly; few young people were still concerned about these.

Therefore, the topic's view count was naturally not high. In the eyes of the general public, ginseng was very expensive and had nothing to do with them; it wasn't something they could afford.

Chen Kai curled his lips and shook his head helplessly.

As soon as this news hit the trending topics, the first ones to panic would definitely be the companies using Fresh Ginseng. Their products would definitely usher in a wave of price increases.

And they wouldn't necessarily need to see the news to panic; there should have been news spreading gradually this afternoon.

Especially those who bought ginseng in bulk from the Ginseng Planting Base definitely had contracts. If one party suddenly cut off the supply or one party suddenly stopped buying, that would mean paying breach-of-contract damages.

So, as early as when the ginseng disease appeared, they must have contacted the partner companies.

When the first symptom appeared, the company must have ignored it, thinking it would be fine to just find another Ginseng Planting Base to buy a batch.

But they probably never expected that when they contacted every Ginseng Planting Base, none of them had any to sell. That was when they started to panic.

After all, there must be a difference in efficacy and product texture between Fresh Ginseng and dried ginseng.

If they suddenly had no suppliers, could they not panic?

So what Chen Kai needed to do now was to wait quietly for public opinion to ferment and for the panic of shortages to spread.

Thinking about this, time had unknowingly reached twelve o'clock.

The daily intelligence system refreshed on time!!

[Ding!]

[Today's intelligence refreshed!!]

[Today's Advanced Intelligence: In the Hailu World Trade Toy Store, a little boy stole money from home to buy a No. 102 Ultraman toy, but his family hid the money very well, so the little boy could only steal money from his piggy bank. Little did he know, the ten-yuan bill in the piggy bank is a rare big black ten. The host needs to go to the toy store before 12 o'clock tomorrow and buy the Ultraman on shelf No. 102 in advance.]
