Chapter 58 Chen's Mountain Products in High Demand
"What's wrong, Nationalist Army? Whose call is that?"
Tang Wenzhan found his son's behavior rather strange.
"Dad, it's that Zhong Nanshan guy. Why did he suddenly contact me?"
Tang Guojun, the current chairman of Rongyun Group, is over fifty years old and rarely loses his composure.
"Old Chen from Zhong Nanshan? Why is he suddenly contacting you? Is the deal about to restart?"
Tang Wenzhan was also taken aback and quickly urged his son to answer the phone.
Tang Guojun took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, this is a member of the National Revolutionary Army."
"Kuomintang, it's been over ten years since we last met, hasn't it? How is your father's health?"
Chen Shan's voice came through the phone, and Tang Wenzhan was very excited, so he immediately spoke.
"Great! It's all thanks to your good stuff. Why did you suddenly contact me? Has your channel been restored?"
"Yes, it's recovered, but the person has changed. It's not me, but my grandson Chen Yue. This time he got 20 catties of Polygonatum, a piece of chicken fat yellow, and about a catty of high-quality amber."
I also have an 80-year-old wild ginseng and two Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms. Are you still buying them? If not, I'll ask Old Li and the others.
Tang Wenzhan's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.
"Buy! Of course I'll buy! Same old deal, 20% premium over market price, I'll take as many as you have!"
Tang Wenzhan was so excited that his body was trembling.
"Alright, from now on, my grandson Chen Yue will be the one doing business with you."
Chen Yue, who was standing to the side, heard all of this clearly and finally understood why his grandfather had to learn Mandarin so well—it was for business purposes.
What puzzled him was that Mr. Tang's attitude was somewhat strange.
He had checked online and found that Rongyun Group was very wealthy. This little thing was only worth a little over a million yuan. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?
Moreover, he even offered to pay 20% more than the market price. Logically, the other party should have tried to lower the price, so why would he offer to pay more?
Something's not right, something's really not right.
"Xiao Chen, right? This is Tang Guojun. Are you in Lantian? Would it be convenient for me to give you your phone number? Let's add each other on WeChat. Make sure you keep all those things safe for me. I'll book the fastest flight to come find you right away."
"Oh, okay, Mr. Tang, I'm in Lantian. I'll wait for you at home."
They chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up.
"Grandpa, is there anything special about our mountain produce?"
Chen Yue looked at the old man and asked, "With Rongyun Group's strong financial resources, let alone a mere million or even a business worth one or two billion, this chairman and the old man shouldn't be in such a hurry, right?"
Chen Shan glanced at him and asked, "Huh? You don't know?"
"What do I know?" Chen Yue looked completely bewildered.
"The mountain products that our family brought back from the Tang Dynasty can be stored in the time portal. Whether it's medicinal herbs or amber, eating them or wearing them can prolong life and improve health."
"Holy crap? Is that true? You're not just making this up to make more money, are you?"
The old man's expression changed, and he tapped Chen Yue on the head.
"Bullshit! Do you think I'm that kind of person? Otherwise, why do you think they care so much about our goods? More than ten years ago, Tang Guojun's father, Tang Wenzhan, was diagnosed with early-stage cancer."
As a result, after eating our mountain products, the cancer cells disappeared a year later. And the old man in the Li family was almost dead, but after wearing our amber pendant, he lived for more than three years before passing away...
The old man listed several examples for him in one breath. He even mentioned that he himself, because he had been drinking tea made with ginseng brought back from the Tang Dynasty for a long time, was now over seventy years old but had no health problems at all.
He could even have an erection when he woke up in the morning. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctors were very surprised and said that his physical functions were similar to those of a person in his forties.
"Of course, our family's products aren't omnipotent. They can only extend life by a few years and eliminate some disasters and diseases. When you were little, I forced you to eat our family's mountain products every day."
Think about it yourself, have you ever been sick these past few years? Have you been full of energy every day?
Chen Yue thought about it and it was true. Ever since he could remember, his grandfather had often forced him to eat some of their own mountain produce, and would beat him if he refused.
In all his years, he has never been to the hospital because of illness, not even a cold or fever. A few years ago, when he started his business, he stayed up all night every few days, and his colleagues were all listless and found to have a lot of health problems during their physical examinations.
All of my indicators were normal, and I had no discomfort.
"These people know that our products have this function, which is why they proactively raised the price. Otherwise, do you think they would care about a few million?"
He paused, then leaned close to Chen Yue's ear and whispered, "Our products are said to always be in short supply in the truly high-end market."
After hearing all this, Chen Yue felt as if he had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end, they all turned into one word.
"grass!"
"Grandpa, when did you find out about this? Why didn't I see any notification about the time portal?"
The old man thought for a while.
"It was Grandpa Gu who told me this. I didn't know it myself. Later, after my initial capital reached 1000, the door itself displayed this information. In short, this door in our house has many uses."
I think it's related to start-up capital; you'll understand as you explore further.
"This is absolutely incredible!"
Before they knew it, it was already past 2 p.m. Tang Guojun had arrived in Anxi City and sent a WeChat message to Chen Yue, telling him that he had gotten off the plane and was driving over, and would arrive at his home around 3:30 p.m.
Chen Yue quickly took the items out of the time portal, packed them up, and went outside to call his grandfather back.
The grandfather and grandson waited at home. Around 3:20, a gleaming black minivan stopped in front of Chen's mountain produce shop.
"Huh? Who's this big boss? Buying from Old Chen's again?"
"Didn't this old man stop going into the mountains to collect goods? Why is he here again?"
Their town isn't a tourist area, it's poor, and the roads are difficult to travel, so strangers rarely come here.
The car looked expensive, and the person who got out of it also seemed extraordinary. The surrounding neighbors were all talking about it curiously.
"It was said by an old man in his seventies or eighties."
"You guys don't know, right? Little Chen Yue has gone into the mountains to collect goods. I heard from Old Chen that he's been running around outside the past few days. I guess he's found some good stuff again."
Ten years ago, this kind of thing often happened in their family. Every few days, some rich people would come to their house to buy things, but they didn't know exactly what they bought.
All we know is that they made a lot of money, which made the people around them very envious. Some even secretly inquired about them and followed them, trying to find out their delivery channels, but all their efforts were in vain.
Although Tang Guojun was over fifty years old, he looked very young, only about forty years old. He didn't have a single gray hair and his complexion was excellent.
He came in alone, with two bodyguards standing at the shop entrance.
"Old Chen, oh my, it's been over ten years! You're still as spry as ever."
When Tang Guojun saw Chen Shan sitting on the stone bench, he immediately walked over with a smile and respectfully greeted Chen Shan with both hands outstretched.
