After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 480: Sky-high Price Acquisition

Xu Boan used to be a stickler for truth, but later he discovered that in some matters, "being too serious" would often increase his losses!
After summarizing his experiences and lessons, Xu Bo'an gradually became more open-minded and tolerant.

Xu Bo'an remembers that once at a dinner party, a leader told him a story.

The story is very common and is something we often encounter in life.

When your car is parked in a parking space and is stuck, and you call the other party but they are reluctant to get out, what is the right thing to do?
People at the dinner table had different opinions and proposed different solutions.

Some said they would contact the police to move the car, some said they would stuff steel wool into the exhaust pipe of the car blocking the traffic, some said they would throw rotten eggs, and some said they would find a car to block the other car and fight to the end.

The leader did not comment on these statements. Instead, he took a bite of the food and ate it calmly. Then he smiled and told them that the best way was to take a taxi and leave as soon as possible and not bother about the matter anymore.

Because no matter what the reason is, it will waste your time and bring potential risks.

At this time, it is better to follow the principle of concession of the happy people and simply ignore the negative impact of this matter.

Otherwise, whether it is arguing or revenge, it will waste your time and risk as the victim. But now you can avoid disaster by spending some taxi money, so just spend it.

After all, since you can afford a car, you should be able to afford a taxi fare once or twice.

As for why the other party blocked my car first, and he was obviously wrong, so why should I suffer a loss? I can only say that suffering a loss is a blessing.

After all, if you continue to be too serious, according to the principle of staying away from trash people, you will be the one who suffers!

Xu Bo'an agreed with it deeply and has kept it in mind until now, and has benefited greatly from it.

Of course, Xu Bo'an also disagreed before, until he experienced some things and realized that people cannot teach people, but people can learn things once they are taught. Then he was completely convinced.

Selective giving up is sometimes the means to success!

Because these mature experiences controlled Xu Boan's mind, he didn't take the little thing just now seriously at all. He just put it behind his mind and walked towards where he parked his car.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Xu Bo'an got in the car. An idea suddenly occurred to him and he began to observe the inside of the bonsai. He took out the Polygonum multiflorum that he had stored in the large porcelain bottle in the mountain temple.

It was not long after Xu Boan opened up the world of bonsai. After he used ibuprofen suspension to rescue a little monkey suffering from fever, the leader of the monkey group gave him a gift of thanks.

After Xu Boan took out the Polygonum multiflorum from the Bonsai World, he casually put it in a black plastic bag.

For a leader of an engineering company who is exposed to cigarettes and alcohol all year round, black plastic bags are almost a must-have item in the car. After all, many times when people use cigarettes and alcohol to keep in touch, black plastic bags are the best packaging.

After taking the things, Xu Bo'an locked the car and returned to Zhang Wenzhong's house, where he found a pair of women's shoes on the ground.

Xu Boan thought that there were guests at Zhang Wenzhong's house, so when he walked in, he saw a woman in the living room on the first floor with her back to Xu Boan, chatting at the kitchen door with Cui Ma, who had just made tonic soup for Zhang Wenzhong's wife.

Xu Boan didn't care and went straight upstairs.

Although the second floor is full of bedrooms, they are all suites. Zhang Wenzhong and Xu Boan are in the outer room, which does not affect Zhang Mei's rest in the inner room.

Zhang Wenzhong was very happy to see Xu Boan return. He took the bag from Xu Boan's hand, opened it, and was immediately shocked.

He has been collecting various precious medicinal materials over the years and has also read a lot of related information, so he is familiar with the appearance of various medicinal materials.

So I recognized it at a glance. What was in the black plastic bag in front of me was indeed the famous Polygonum multiflorum!
He had the good fortune to get one of these before, but it was far inferior to the quality and age of Xu Boan's Polygonum multiflorum.

This Polygonum multiflorum of Xu Boan is probably more than 500 years old.

Zhang Wenzhong pointed at the Polygonum multiflorum in the black plastic bag and said excitedly: "Mr. Xu, this... this Polygonum multiflorum must be more than 500 years old!"

Xu Bo'an was shocked when he heard this. When he first got this thing, he was not sure about the quality and age of this Polygonum multiflorum. It was not until he consulted Dr. Zhang Jimin from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Dongjiang Second Hospital that he heard from him that it was five hundred years old.

It was also because of this encounter that Xu Bo'an accidentally learned the medical techniques from the Zhang family's ancestral medical books, and acquired his current medical skills!

But Zhang Wenzhong, an outsider, could actually have such ability after just a simple glance?

Xu Bo'an couldn't help but praise: "Boss Zhang is really capable. He can tell the age of this Polygonum multiflorum at a glance. I really admire him!"

Zhang Wenzhong smiled bitterly and said, "This can be considered as a doctor becoming better after suffering from illness for a long time. Originally, because of the condition of my wife and children, I went everywhere to seek medical advice, so I must have some basic knowledge. So I looked up medical books and consulted doctors myself.

Later, when I was collecting various Chinese herbal medicines, I saw more and understood more. In addition, I had previously obtained a Polygonum multiflorum that was about 300 years old, so I had a certain foundation and was able to roughly guess some clues. "

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "I see. Boss Zhang has been meticulous in his search for medical advice over the years. I really admire him."

Speaking of this, Xu Bo'an suddenly remembered that he had accidentally found a thousand-year-old Polygonatum in a bonsai before, which was found by the little molehill guy inadvertently.

I wonder how much this thousands-year-old Polygonatum is worth now.

Xu Boan had no intention of selling the Polygonatum sibiricum just like that, because according to the records in the Zhang family's ancestral medical book, there was a very valuable prescription for Xu Boan that required the thousand-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum as a medicine, so Xu Boan would definitely keep the thousand-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum for his own use.

But after all, it was something he personally owned, so Xu Boan was still very curious about its value. It was like a collector who might not be willing to sell his collection, but was definitely very interested in the value of his collection.

So Xu Bo'an continued to ask: "By the way, Mr. Zhang has been looking for doctors and medicine for so long, you must have seen countless kinds of precious medicinal materials. I wonder if you have seen herbs that are more than a thousand years old?"

Zhang Wenzhong smiled and shook his head, saying, "I am ashamed to say that I was so arrogant before that I always wanted to buy precious Chinese herbal medicines that were over a thousand years old. Later, I realized that it is difficult for a herb to survive for a thousand years without any harm, let alone remain undiscovered and excavated. It is not easy to find Chinese herbal medicines of that age!"

Xu Bo'an nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, it's easier said than done!"

Zhang Wenzhong is right.

Medicinal herbs are different from big trees. Most of the common precious medicinal herbs are low grass plants, which cannot compare to the towering trees that can grow for thousands of years.

For ordinary plants, it is actually very difficult to live for a few years, let alone hundreds or thousands of years, let alone tens of years.

What's worse, after one season, when it sprouts again the next year, it is already a new plant.

Therefore, it is not easy for medicinal herbs to grow for thousands of years and reach maturity.

During this period, it first needs to have strong genes and tenacious vitality, and then it has to survive the erosion of natural disasters, the gnawing of animals, and the picking of countless herbalists. Only if it avoids all of them and remains safe and sound can it exist for thousands of years without fading!
It is harder to come across such herbs than to win the lottery, let alone get them. Many people are reluctant to sell them!
Although Xu Boan expressed his understanding, he was still a little disappointed when he heard Zhang Wenzhong say this.

It seems that even Zhang Wenzhong has never seen medicinal herbs that are more than a thousand years old. In this case, it would be difficult for him to determine the value of that thousand-year-old Polygonatum.

Seeing Xu Bo'an's emotional look, Zhang Wenzhong thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Xu, although I have never seen a herb that is more than a thousand years old, I have heard of an 800-year-old Polygonatum when I was in Weizhou before!
It was said that the thing was about the thickness of a child's arm, and it was only half a stick. It was said that the price was five million, and it was bought by someone at that time. Unfortunately, I tried to find the boss who bought the Huangjing later, but I never found him. "

Xu Boan pursed his lips. An eight-hundred-year-old Polygonatum was only worth five million. So, if his thousand-year-old Polygonatum could be sold for ten million at double the price, it would be worth twenty million if it could double in size.

With a rough comparison in his mind, Xu Boan knew the cost of making pills in his next step.

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "It is said that there are many bosses in Weizhou who are very generous and heroic. It is really true!"

Zhang Wenzhong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Mr. Xu, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. Actually, we are just lucky. We caught up with the good policies and took advantage of the good coal market, which gave us the opportunity to make a fortune. Didn't a powerful businessman say that even a pig standing on the wind can fly?

This is the story of my rise to wealth! As an ordinary farmer with little education, I owe my success to luck. If the coal market goes bad or there is no more coal in the mine, there will be nothing we can do.

Seriously speaking, it is Mr. Xu's miraculous medical skills that are truly an inexhaustible resource! After all, knowledge is something that is truly stored in the brain."

Xu Boan laughed and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, let's stop bragging about business for now. Well, you've seen enough of this Polygonum multiflorum, right? Then give it back to me first. I have to keep it carefully and send it to my friend for auction later!"

Zhang Wenzhong reluctantly handed it to Xu Bo'an, smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, I have a request!"

Xu Boan took the Polygonum multiflorum and said, "Now that we've come to this point, I can make a rough guess. Mr. Zhang, you want this Polygonum multiflorum, right?"

Zhang Wenzhong nodded hurriedly, smiled with a hint of embarrassment, and said: "Yes, I want to accept this Polygonum multiflorum! It's like this, one of my good brothers was not feeling well a few days ago, and a famous doctor in Kyoto prescribed a prescription, saying that Polygonum multiflorum that is more than 300 years old must be used as a medicine.

I originally had one, and this elder brother knew about it, so he came to me, but I had already given my wife my one, so I couldn't help this elder brother. If possible, please give it up, Mr. Xu. I am willing to pay 10 million for your Polygonum multiflorum. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"

Although Xu Boan is not short of money now, he was still a little surprised when he heard Zhang Wenzhong's price.

When Xu Bo'an got this Polygonum multiflorum earlier, he casually searched on the Internet. Although they were all rumors, it was unlikely to exceed two or three million. Even if it was auctioned at Zhao Yuntao's auction house, it would be a good deal at over four million.

Zhang Wenzhong directly offered more than double the price, which can be said to be very sincere.

I have to say, coal bosses are really rich!

However, Xu Bo'an still smiled and declined politely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, if you had mentioned this earlier, I would have given you two million, not to mention ten million. But it's not convenient now, and you just heard my phone call.

The call was from a friend of mine who runs an auction business. He has already taken the initiative to buy my Polygonum multiflorum. His auction house just happened to be short of some treasures. I have already agreed to it, and I can't break my promise now. If you want it, I'm afraid you can only go to his auction. And normally, it shouldn't cost that much. Anyway, you are sincere about it, so this is a win-win situation for both parties!"

Zhang Wenzhong nodded and said, "I understand. Even so, I will never embarrass Mr. Xu. If it is convenient, please tell me the name of your friend's auction house. I will contact the staff there and ask the time of the auction so that I can go and participate in the auction!"

Xu Bo'an thought that this was also a way to attract business for Zhao Yuntao, so he said, "Don't bother. I'll give you my friend's contact information. You're going to support him anyway. He will definitely be happy for a wealthy boss like you to support him!"

As he was speaking, Xu Boan opened his cell phone address book and told Zhang Wenzhong Zhao Yuntao's contact information.

Here, Zhang Wenzhong took out his mobile phone and just saved Zhao Yuntao's contact information when suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then a gentle greeting came from outside the room.

"Sir, the ginseng soup is ready!" It was the voice of the Zhang family's nanny named Cui. Just now, according to Xu Bo'an's suggestion, Zhang Wenzhong asked her to cook ginseng soup for his wife.

Zhang Wenzhong stood up, walked over, opened the door, and then looked at the two people outside the house curiously.

That’s right, in addition to Zhang Wenzhong’s own nanny, there was also a young woman who appeared in front of him.

"Auntie Cui, who is this?" Zhang Wenzhong frowned slightly and said softly.

Obviously, the young woman who appeared next to the nanny was not known to Zhang Wenzhong, the male owner! (End of this chapter)
