164: Stockpile ginseng!
Xiao Chen suddenly gasped, his eyes shining with intense light.
"Holy crap... Brother Chen Kai, is... is this! The icy blue jade from Old Pakan?!"
Xiao Chen was stunned. He had personally watched the Little foreigner sell this jade to Chen Kai, never expecting that Chen Kai hadn't sold it yet and was preparing to sell it to him!
If it had been sold earlier, he could have made a huge profit! But... but now it could solve his urgent need. There were so many bosses waiting for Old Pakan material.
This was truly a huge help to him. More importantly, there was no such high-quality Old Pakan material left in the entire market now!
For the same price, even after haggling for ages, he could only buy material worth sixty or seventy thousand yuan. People weren't selling material on the same level as Chen Kai's right now.
If you wanted to buy it, they would tell you, "Who knows when the smugglers from Myanmar will resume shipments?" You had to wait now; if you wanted to buy, it would cost at least three hundred thousand, right?
It completely left him speechless. Paying three hundred thousand for a hundred thousand yuan item? He might as well let them keep it as a family heirloom!
Chen Kai nodded. "Yeah, it's Old Pakan. You name a price, and if it's reasonable, I'll sell it."
He mainly didn't know the current market price. If the market price was originally 160,000 and he offered 150,000, anyone who wasn't an idiot wouldn't voluntarily raise the price and give him an extra ten thousand yuan.
Xiao Chen immediately found himself in a dilemma. He pondered slowly for a long time, brow furrowed, thinking about what appropriate price to offer Chen Kai.
Just then, A Tao, who was sitting to the side, couldn't sit still anymore and quickly stood up.
"Brother Chen Kai, sell this to me. I'm so short on Old Pakan material. You know the market price; it's rare to find something this cheap and affordable!"
"I offer 170,000! What do you think?"
A Tao said this fawningly, his face full of sycophantic smiles.
He was practically groveling. This time, he didn't even try to haggle. He really liked this item; he estimated that quite a few bosses would want it.
He could easily make thirty thousand yuan through his channels. If he haggled, it would really fall into Xiao Chen's hands. Xiao Chen had really been raking in the money these past two days.
It even made him a bit jealous; he was earning too much.
And how did this guy have so much Old Pakan material? Now, the entire Jiangnan jade circle went basically crazy whenever Old Pakan was mentioned.
Some were asking everywhere where to buy it, some regretted not hoarding more, and some regretted selling too quickly and not making much money.
Chen Kai raised an eyebrow, still ignoring A Tao, waiting for Xiao Chen to make an offer.
He looked at Xiao Chen and found his face full of guilt and embarrassment.
"Brother Chen Kai, although I really want this stone, but... but I'm a small shop, I can only... only offer you 150,000."
"Our channels aren't as strong as A Tao's. If I gave you 160,000, I might... only make enough for food."
Chen Kai nodded and immediately handed the stone to him. "Transfer the money! Use the same account as before!"
As soon as he said this, both A Tao and Xiao Chen were stunned, their eyes filled with confusion.
A Tao was the first to speak. "Holy crap, Brother, did you hear my offer wrong? I offered 160,000, and his offer was 150,000!"
Chen Kai shrugged indifferently. "I know, but I'm selling it to the one who offered 150,000."
A Tao was stunned again. It was his first time hearing such an unreasonable request. Not selling to the highest bidder, but to the cheaper one?
What kind of weirdo was this?! Could you even sell things like that?
"What? I just want to sell it for 150,000, so what?"
Chen Kai said indifferently, personally handing the stone to Xiao Chen.
A Tao, standing on the side, was completely dumbfounded. With an angry face, he muttered, "I hope you can always produce Old Pakan material! Or that he can always keep buying your material!"
"Otherwise, if you bring it to me, I definitely won't take it! Damn it!"
A Tao grumbled, his face full of dissatisfaction. He had never seen such a vindictive customer.
The jade he brought before was indeed trash, but damn it, why wouldn't he sell even when he offered a high price?
Xiao Chen smiled faintly; this was the time to show loyalty.
"It's fine, Brother Chen. As long as it's your goods, as long as it's not plastic or glass, I'll take it all."
If he didn't show loyalty now, when would he? Chen Kai had let him Score a Bargain, and normal market rules dictated that the highest bidder wins.
How could there be any logic in deliberately letting him Score a Bargain when he offered a lower price?
It was only because Chen Kai favored him slightly that he got the chance to Score a Bargain. Otherwise, those people who were hoarding it would dare to ask for four hundred thousand.
"Tch, whatever. I just don't understand, where is there an idiot who won't sell even for a high price?"
A Tao muttered indignantly, feeling somewhat angry.
How could there be any reason not to sell for a high price?
"Heh, not selling for a high price? When you were trying to scam me as an outsider, why didn't you say that?"
"You offered ten thousand, others offered over thirty thousand. You would have made more than that by now, right?"
"With the way you do business, it's already lucky that you've lasted this long!"
Chen Kai snorted coldly, and after receiving the transfer, he turned and left.
A Tao muttered behind his back, "What's so great about that? I really don't believe you can bring Old Pakan material every single day."
"Anything other than Old Pakan is trash!"
...
Chen Kai walked quickly back to the outdoor parking lot, got into his Mercedes-Benz, and began to calculate today's earnings. A reward of nearly two hundred thousand; he had definitely made a fortune.
Thinking this, he curled his lips into a smile and slowly drove home.
He waited quietly for the Intelligence System to refresh, chatting with Tang Yunshu for a while in the meantime, finalizing when they would go out to hang out.
They chatted about other things in between, including topics that only adults could discuss, before ending the conversation.
He also arranged a time to go out with Liu Yunshang, and only then did he wait peacefully for the intelligence to refresh.
Time quickly reached twelve o'clock, and Chen Kai opened the daily Intelligence System on time.
【 Ding! 】
【 Today's intelligence refreshed!! 】
【 Today's Intermediate Intelligence refresh: The day after tomorrow, due to a plant virus, the production capacity of mountain goods American Ginseng and Fresh Ginseng will suddenly decrease, causing a shortage of supply for many Fresh Ginseng factories. The purchase price will rise from 10 yuan per root to 13 yuan per root, and they will open for public bidding.
Additionally!!! It is recommended that the host does not hoard too much. Hoarding over 200,000 worth of American Ginseng and Fresh Ginseng, there is only a market gap in the tens of millions. You can hoard it and then sell it to the "One Root ginseng Water" ginseng processing factory. Their group is short on Fresh Ginseng, so you can successfully sell it. 】
【 Recommended purchase price: 200,000 yuan. 】
【 Recommended selling price: 260,000 yuan. 】
【 Recommended purchase time: Today. Recommended selling time: Two days later, no more than four days. 】
