I inherited my grandfather's Tang Dynasty assets.

Chapter 59 Shipment! 184 million!

"National Army, you still have such a pleasant voice. You're not bad either; you haven't changed much since decades ago, and you even seem more energetic."

Tang Guojun nodded repeatedly and said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to you, sir."

Then he turned his gaze to Chen Yue beside him, looked him over carefully, and smiled warmly.

"This must be your grandson, Chen Yue. He's quite the handsome young man."

Chen Yue glanced at his grandfather and called out, "Uncle Tang, hello."

"Nationalist Army, time flies. It's been more than ten years since you last came to Lantian. Come, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Chen Shan waved to Tang Guojun. They were old acquaintances meeting again. When they first made their deal, Tang Wenzhan had come to Lantian in person, but after being diagnosed with cancer, he became Tang Guojun.

Tang Guojun always treated him with great courtesy, addressing him as "Old Chen" repeatedly.

"Yes, I remember Chen Yue was still in junior high school back then. You said the channels were cut off and that we should not come anymore. We should not contact you without your permission."

My father has always wanted to visit you all these years. I never imagined that ten years later, this child would follow in your footsteps. It's truly wonderful.

The reason why Tang Guojun and his group respected Chen Shan so much was not only because of the person in the capital, but more importantly because everyone who did business with Chen Shan had received tremendous favors from him.

Moreover, the Chen family's mountain products are quite magical. Privately, specialized institutions and experts have studied them, saying that their mountain products carry a very special energy.

Some speculate that this might be the spiritual energy mentioned in Taoism. Some people then connect this to the fact that Chen Shan always leaves no trace when he goes into the mountains to collect goods, and no one can find any clues. They speculate that he is very likely a hermit living in the Zhongnan Mountains.

Otherwise, why would his mountain produce possess the legendary spiritual energy? In any case, Chen Shan was shrouded in mystery in their eyes, and was an absolutely untouchable figure.

Chen Shan laughed heartily.

"It's all luck. Xiao Yue, go get the goods and let Boss Tang check them."

"Why."

Chen Yue glanced at Tang Guojun, then turned and went to the warehouse, where he took the items out of the portal and carried them to the yard.

"Uncle Tang, please take a look at the goods. These are all the ones I collected."

Tang Guojun immediately stood up, his face filled with excitement. He first opened the wooden box and glanced at the wild ginseng, which was about half a meter long with roots and tendrils. It had seven leaves and twenty-five ginseng roots, and it looked extraordinary.

"what?"

Chen Yue also looked over, and his gaze immediately changed. This wild ginseng seemed to be somewhat different from the one he had collected from the Tang Dynasty.

Well, the appearance hasn't changed much, but it seems to have become more spiritual to him. I can't quite describe it; it's just a feeling.

"Is this because storing it in a time portal can prolong life and improve health?"

"Great! This is really good stuff! This wild ginseng is so beautiful! Its quality is better than the ones you gave me before, Mr. Chen. It should be worth around 50 yuan on the market."

According to our usual practice, the price will increase by 20%, to 600,000. Plus, since this is Xiaoyue's first time doing business with me, we'll add another 60,000, making it 660,000 – a lucky number!

Tang Guojun's gaze was almost unable to leave the wild ginseng, as if he were looking at a rare treasure, and he was screaming wildly in his heart.

"That's the feeling!"

Over the years, they have bought some aged wild ginseng, but compared with the Chen family's wild ginseng, there is something missing.

The ginseng in front of him seemed to be surrounded by a spiritual aura, a feeling that only the Chen family's products possessed.

"66? Okay, deal!"

Chen Yue readily agreed, and he was very satisfied with the price.

Next up are the two Ganoderma lucidum plants, one purple and one red.

Chen Yue also felt that they had a special charm compared to when he collected them.

Tang Guojun looked at the red lingzhi first.

"The whole thing looks like an auspicious cloud, and the quality is excellent. The cap is about 30 centimeters long, with round and full edges. The concentric rings are dense like tree rings. It is a top-quality product."

Mr. Chen, you're an expert. Its market price is around 10 to 12. Let's say 12, and with a 20% increase, I'll round it up to 15!

As he spoke, he looked at the purple Ganoderma lucidum. It was much smaller than the red Ganoderma lucidum, but the purple Ganoderma lucidum was rarer and had a mysterious aura.

"Although the cap is only about 18 centimeters long and its appearance is not as good as the red Ganoderma, it is still very rare. According to market prices, the price of purple Ganoderma of the same quality is about 40% higher than that of red Ganoderma. I won't say any more, I'll give it 15!"

Chen Yue originally thought that the two Ganoderma lucidum plants together could barely fetch 20 yuan, which would be considered good. He didn't expect the price to be so high, so there was no need to hesitate. He made the deal immediately!

Next up is 20 catties of top-grade Polygonatum sibiricum. The market price for raw materials is around 1000 yuan per catty. After processing, the price can be several times higher. This involves a complex process of nine steamings and nine sun-dryings. The old man knows this technique, and it is the purest ancient method.

Chen Yue had worked for him when he was a teenager, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"Old Chen, this Polygonatum is also a high-quality product. Such good raw material is probably best left for you to handle personally, otherwise it would be a waste. According to the market price, the processed product is worth around 5000 yuan per catty."

As usual, including your labor costs, I'll buy it for 8000 yuan per kilogram. I'll come and pick it up myself after it's processed. How about that?

This is the model of cooperation between the two parties before. Although there are many people outside who know how to process Polygonatum, they are no match for Chen Shan's skills.

Therefore, after suffering losses twice at the beginning, all subsequent transactions involving Solomon's Seal were handled by the old man himself, and they would pay him directly for the finished product.

"it is good."

The old man agreed readily, since it wasn't him who would do it; it was Chen Yue. He only needed to give some pointers from the sidelines.

Finally, there's that piece of chicken-fat yellow amber. Now it looks even more crystal clear than when it was acquired in the Tang Dynasty. It truly resembles a gemstone and is incredibly beautiful.

The market price is between 300 and 1000 yuan per gram. The price varies depending on the quality of the amber. Chen Yue originally estimated that it would be worth at least 100,000 yuan.

To his surprise, Tang Guojun's offer far exceeded his expectations.

He actually went straight to the top, 1000 yuan per gram, a 20% increase from the original price. After weighing, it weighed 566 grams in total, but he paid for 600 grams, which was worth 72 yuan!

It's more valuable than that wild ginseng.

"Uncle Tang, is this piece of amber really that valuable? You mustn't lose money."

Tang Guojun laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Yue, this kind of high-quality amber is very rare and expensive now, let alone the kind from your Chen family, which makes it even more sought after."

The final price came out: 184 million, several hundred thousand more than Chen Yue had originally estimated.

Tang Guojun was very agreeable. Without signing any contract, he immediately asked Chen Yue for an account number, and then called someone to transfer the money over.

Less than ten minutes later, Chen Yue received a text message from the bank on his phone. Looking at the money, he could hardly believe it.

No way, making money like this is too easy! If I had known it would be like this, I would never have started a business in the first place. I should have come back sooner and become a time-traveling peddler.
