Chapter 118 The Mysterious Speculator
"A whole box of top-quality wild ginseng!"
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Yu Bo's mind, which was in a state of chaos, soaked in alcohol and despair.
He suddenly pushed himself up from the ground, grabbed the purchasing agent by the collar, and stared at him with bloodshot eyes.
"Where?"
"County...County Guesthouse!"
"Who is it?"
"No... I don't know... I just heard from the staff at the guesthouse that he's a big boss from outside the Great Wall, and he's very arrogant!" The purchasing agent was so frightened that she spilled all the information she had heard.
Yu Bo remembered the 200,000 yuan reward.
This is no coincidence!
This was a lifeline sent to Yu Bo by God!
It's a real, incredible opportunity that could turn his life around overnight!
"Haha...hahahaha!"
Yu Bo suddenly released his grip and let out a maniacal laugh.
He smiled, but tears streamed down his face.
He rushed to his desk and splashed cold water on his face haphazardly, trying to clear his head.
Then, he picked up the phone and dialed his home number.
"Tell Gao Yang, immediately! Bring Zhang, the best worker in the factory, to wait for me at the guesthouse entrance!"
"Take your money!"
After hanging up the phone, Yu Bo opened the safe in his office that he never locked.
He took out a heavy leather suitcase from inside.
Inside the box were various expensive cigarettes, alcohol, and supplements that he had amassed over the years, intending to use them to cultivate relationships.
This is his last remaining asset.
He wanted to use these to knock on the door that could bring him back to life.
……
Hongshi County Guesthouse.
As the only place in the county that can receive foreign guests and important leaders, the lobby here always exudes a quiet and dignified atmosphere that is out of place with the outside world.
But tonight, this semblance of decorum was completely shattered by an uninvited guest.
A middle-aged man wearing a shiny black mink coat and a thick gold chain around his neck stepped out of the car.
Even at night, he wears a pair of huge sunglasses on his face.
Behind him followed two burly men in black leather jackets with menacing faces.
This man was none other than Monkey Three, the most clever brother under Scarface Liu.
Hou Sanchang spent most of his time in the village and rarely showed his face in the county town. Therefore, Lu Qingshan was not afraid of being recognized by Yu Bohui.
The two behind him were also handpicked by Lu Qingshan from remote villages; they were the toughest men who could hold their own.
"Damn it, what a lousy place this is!"
Monkey Three kicked open the car door and walked into the lobby, cursing as he went.
A bodyguard behind him, carrying a large black leather suitcase, quickly followed.
When they reached the center of the lobby, the bodyguard carrying the suitcase seemed to trip over something and stumbled.
With a loud "bang".
The black leather suitcase slipped from his hand and crashed heavily onto the terrazzo floor.
The box buckle wasn't locked properly and it popped open.
For an instant.
A strong, almost overpowering medicinal fragrance suddenly burst from the box, instantly filling the entire hall.
The box opened at just the right angle.
Everyone could clearly see that the box contained neatly arranged, high-quality wild ginseng, all tied with red rope!
Everyone in the lobby, including the two experienced receptionists, was completely dumbfounded.
They had never seen so many, such good ginseng, in their entire lives!
"Damn it! Didn't you eat?!"
Monkey Three suddenly turned around and slapped the bodyguard hard across the face.
"If my goods are damaged in the slightest, I'll break your legs!"
He cursed as he hurriedly closed and locked the box.
Then, he walked to the front desk and slammed a bulging envelope onto the counter with a "thud".
"Get me the best room!"
"Bring me your best cigarettes and best liquor!"
"Damn it, if I hadn't heard there were some suckers willing to pay a fortune for ginseng here, I wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place!"
His arrogant attitude, and the fleeting glimpse of the chest full of treasures he had just seen, were like a boulder thrown into the small pond of the guesthouse.
A receptionist was frantically processing the paperwork.
The other one, while looking down, quietly made a phone call.
……
When Yu Bo arrived, Hou San had already been ushered into the most luxurious suite in the guesthouse.
He stood at the suite door, carrying the heavy suitcase, straightened his collar, and took a deep breath.
The hand that knocked on the door trembled slightly.
A bodyguard opened the door.
The bodyguard merely glanced at him coldly, said nothing, and stepped aside to let him in.
The heating in the room was on full blast.
Monkey Three was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking very imposing.
He casually tossed his expensive mink coat on the ground.
He was fiddling with a pure gold lighter in his hand, turning it on, off, and on again.
The crisp "click" sound was particularly jarring in the quiet room.
Yu Gaoyang and the gray-haired Master Zhang followed behind Yu Bo, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Mr. Jin... Hello, Mr. Jin."
On Yu Bo's face, a humble smile appeared, one that even he found unfamiliar.
He placed the suitcase he was carrying on the coffee table.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation."
The monkey didn't even lift its eyelids.
"Spit it out."
His voice was hoarse and impatient, as if he had just had a hangover.
Yu Bo's face stiffened for a moment.
He was, after all, the director of a large factory. In Hongshi County, everyone who saw him had to address him respectfully as "Director Yu."
But now...
He took a deep breath and swallowed back all his pitiful pride.
"Boss Jin, I'm Yu Bo from Hongxing Food Factory."
"I heard... I heard you have a batch of good goods."
Monkey Three paused for a moment while holding the lighter.
He finally raised his eyes and looked Yu Bo up and down through his sunglasses.
"You?"
That look in his eyes was filled with undisguised contempt.
"Want to see my merchandise?"
Monkey Three sneered.
"Director Yu, this stuff of mine is extremely precious."
"It's not like you can just look down on any Tom, Dick, or Harry."
Yu Bo clenched his fist quietly inside his sleeve.
Yu Gaoyang, who was standing next to him, had turned a deep purplish-red. He was about to lash out when Yu Bo glared at him sternly and stopped him.
"Boss Jin is right." Yu Bo's smile became even more humble.
"That's why I specifically invited Master Zhang, the most experienced person in our factory, to come and take a look."
Monkey Three glanced at the trembling Master Zhang and snorted through his nose.
He slowly bent down, took out something wrapped in red cloth from the black leather suitcase, and casually tossed it onto the table.
"See?"
The red cloth was spread out.
A wild ginseng with a full shape and complete rootlets was revealed.
Under the light, the ginseng's skin had a faint, alluring yellowish-brown hue.
A unique, refreshing fragrance instantly filled everyone's nostrils.
"this……"
Master Zhang's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had seen some priceless treasure.
He trembled as he pulled a pair of reading glasses from his pocket and put them on, then took a magnifying glass out of his pocket.
He approached the ginseng, bent down, and took a deep breath.
"It's the unique 'top-tier fragrance' of old wild ginseng!"
Then, he carefully touched the root of the ginseng with his finger.
"The skin is old, the texture is deep, and the spiral pattern is clearly visible!"
Finally, he raised the magnifying glass, ready to examine it closely.
"This is never going to end!"
The bodyguard behind Monkey Three darted forward and took the goods.
"Look, look! What if you damage it? This is all top-quality wild ginseng!"
A fake is still a fake, and Monkey Three was unwilling to let anyone examine it closely and discover the problem.
"Factory manager, this..."
Master Zhang staggered from the shout, looked at the tall and burly bodyguard, and whispered a few words to Yu Bo.
"It looks like the real thing!"
"It looks like a very rare and high-quality piece, but I haven't examined it closely yet, so there's still a risk..."
Yu Bo's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't hear a word Zhang was saying.
He stared intently at the ginseng in the bodyguard's hand, his breathing becoming rapid.
He asked eagerly, "Boss Jin, how much is this ginseng?"
"Could...could you show us the other goods too?"
Monkey Three slowly put the ginseng back and wrapped it in red cloth again.
He held up three fingers.
"Fixed price".
"Five thousand per catty."
"This box of mine weighs fifty pounds. If you want it all, it'll cost two hundred and fifty thousand."
"Not a penny less, not for sale."
"Moreover," he paused, a mocking smile playing on his lips, "once you've bought it, there are no refunds or exchanges."
"If you want to see the full stock, you can."
"Put out a deposit of 20,000 yuan first."
"Let me see if you, Factory Director Yu, are truly sincere."
Yu Gaoyang panicked when he heard that the deposit was 20,000 yuan.
"What? It costs 20,000 just to look at it?"
"You're robbing me..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Monkey Three slammed the box shut.
He stood up and made a move to walk into the inner room.
"Too expensive?"
"Then get lost!"
"The line of people wanting to buy my batch of goods could stretch all the way to the provincial capital!"
