Chapter 24: Centennial Ginseng

Walking into this store, Li Xiaofan asked the boss like the last time he sold saffron.

"This boss, I don't know if you accept ginseng here?"

"Harvest, of course we have to harvest, whether it is artificially planted or wild, we have to harvest. It's just that if it is cultivated, its price will be lower, and if it is wild, then its price will be higher. Because the nutritional value of the wild is much higher than that of the aggravated one, the price is generally a little higher. Saying that, he also introduced their acquisition criteria to Li Xiaofan.

Li Xiaofan nodded after listening to his introduction, and then said, "Boss, how is this price calculated?" ”

After hearing Li Xiaofan's words, the boss hurriedly said, "How can I tell you?" This price is not a unified algorithm, first of all, take wild and artificial planting, the price of wild is generally about 4 times that of artificial planting, and even the higher the year, the greater the price difference between them, and artificial planting, the general year is not very high, so the price is not very high; If it is artificially grown, if there is a kind of vintage, it can also give a relatively high price. ”

After listening to the boss's introduction, Li Xiaofan roughly knew the difference between wild and artificial planting, but what he wanted to know most was how big the difference was between the vintage!

So, he asked again: "Boss, how do you calculate the price on this vintage?" ”

"Little brother, doesn't that mean how to calculate the price? If your ginseng is 100 years old, then give you an estimate based on the highest price at the most recent ginseng auction. The boss listened to the sum of Li Xiaofan's words and hurriedly explained to Li Xiaofan.

However, because the price of ginseng is constantly changing, there is no fixed price, so it is not easy for this boss to give Li Xiaofan a specific price algorithm.

"Let's take this time as an example, a few years ago in Zhejiang there was an auction of a 103-year-old ginseng, that ginseng was auctioned for a rare more than 5 million, like the previous time, there was a 100-year-old ginseng, and it was only sold for more than 4 million, but this time he turned over 1 million."

"More than 5 million is the price of that hundred-year-old ginseng, but if you buy it in ordinary life, you can't sell it at such an expensive price, at most it is 4 million, and even if the quality is a little different, it will drop a little more." The owner of the herb shop continued.

Li Xiaofan nodded, this is indeed the truth, generally in the auction, some of the things on the auction will directly raise the price, because everyone will compete at the auction.

Therefore, even if it does not look valuable, the auction price is very high, so the price of the goods circulating in the market is generally not priced according to the price listed at the auction.

Seeing Li Xiaofan nodding, the owner of the medicinal herb shop also smiled, and then said: "Little brother, if it is a ginseng that is ten or twenty or thirty years old, I can call the shots and give you a minimum price of 100,000 yuan to buy it, and if it is ginseng that has been around for 50 years, I can buy it at a price of 1 million to 2 million yuan." ”

"If it's a hundred years of ginseng, I will start with 4 million at the minimum."

The owner of the medicinal herb store pondered and told Li Xiaofan about his own pricing.

The price given by the owner of the herb shop is very appropriate, although the price is still a bit low, but in this traditional Chinese medicine market, it is good to be able to sell at this price.

After all, the merchant still has to make a profit, otherwise who will do business, the owner of this medicinal herb shop is already interesting enough.

Li Xiaofan nodded after listening to the assurances of the owner of the medicinal herb shop, and then took out a package wrapped in newspaper from the bag behind him.

"Boss, take a long look at how much this ginseng is worth?" Li Xiaofan spread out the newspaper and asked the boss to come forward and watch it.

When the owner of the medicinal herb shop saw Li Xiaofan, his heart was dripping blood when he was rudely wrapped in newspaper with ginseng.

"Little brother, this ginseng plant of yours is almost 120 years old, if you want to sell it to me, I can give you 5 million." The owner of the herb shop didn't make too many moves, but immediately looked at the ginseng plant, and then gave the price in his heart.

Li Xiaofan knew that the price was already very reasonable, and from the boss who had just confessed the value of a 103-year-old ginseng plant, it could be seen that this boss was a relatively cheerful person.

Now this one is a little longer than the previous one, but it hasn't grown much, so Li Xiaofan is sure that the price given by this boss is very reasonable.

Li Xiaofan did not continue to bargain, but directly made this transaction with the boss at this price.

After the owner of the medicinal herb store saw that the deal was reached, he immediately took out a jade box and carefully put this century-old ginseng into it.

He is not like Li Xiaofan, Li Xiaofan can casually take a newspaper and wrap this century-old ginseng, but he knows that only the jade box can really keep the medicine from being lost.

"Little brother, there is no bullying in our shop, if you still have these precious medicinal materials in the future, our small shop will accept them, and give you a price to ensure that you are satisfied." After the owner of the medicinal herb shop transferred the money to Wang Kefan's card, he hurriedly said to Li Xiaofan, and at the same time gave Li Xiaofan a business card of his own.

He knew that such a century-old ginseng was very rare, and when Li Xiaofan took out this century-old ginseng, he could see that there was no nervous look on Li Xiaofan's face.

In this case, either there are such medicinal materials, or a relatively honest person. But judging from the conversation between him and Li Xiaofan just now, Li Xiaofan is a relatively clever person, so in the end, he speculated that Li Xiaofan should have better ginseng, or better medicinal materials.

Li Xiaofan nodded after listening to what the owner of the pharmacy said, he also felt that the price given by the owner of this medicinal herb shop was very reasonable, and this medicinal herb shop was much larger than the one he sold saffron last time.

So after receiving the news that the money had arrived in the bank card on his mobile phone, he also told the owner of this medicinal herb shop his phone number, because Li Xiaofan still has to sell medicinal materials in the future, since there is this convenient channel, then he will not have to continue to trouble in the future.

After that, the two sat and chatted for a while, and Li Xiaofan also knew how to identify these ginseng from the mouth of the owner of the medicinal herb shop.

At the same time, he also learned about this medicinal herb shop from the owner of the herbal medicine shop, which has a history of more than 80 years, and this medicinal herb shop already existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and during the Anti-Japanese War, their family made great contributions to China's medical industry.

This medicinal herb shop was opened by his grandfather's grandfather, who at that time worshipped a famous teacher in the capital to learn medical skills, but later due to the war during the Anti-Japanese War, his grandfather began to return to his hometown Xi'an!

In Xi'an, it was just a small pharmacy at the beginning, but after the Anti-Japanese War, his grandfather and his grandfather were rewarded by the state for helping many people with lofty ideals during the Anti-Japanese War, and their family's medicinal herb shop was also supported by the state.

As a result, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, his family's medicinal herb store became a public-private partnership, so the medicinal herb store expanded rapidly.

But for some reasons later, when his father's generation was finally in his father's generation, the entire herb store was taken over and turned into his own.

However, they also paid a certain price, for example, the hundred-year-old ginseng also paid for several trees, so that there was no stock at home.

However, after so many years of development, there are several branches of its own medicinal herb store, basically in the first-tier cities, its own medicinal herb shop has a branch.

The owner of the medicinal herb shop is surnamed Luo, and he is a relatively bold person, and Li Xiaofan is also happy to make this friend.

Subsequently, Li Xiaofan bought some seeds that he had not bought before, and then left the herb shop.

When he walked out of the medicine store, he felt that the whole person was fluttering, because he suddenly had 5 million, and his mood began to swell a little.

However, he also understood the truth that wealth was not exposed, so he was not very arrogant, but went to ICBC to open another card, and he withdrew more than 200,000 yuan from this card and put it in the card of ICBC.

Those little fans who work in the bank, seeing him with such a big sum, their eyes lit up, but Li Xiaofan was not so superficial, but calmly left here after doing this, making the little girls behind them frustrated.

Li Xiaofan went to Xi'an's Science and Technology City again this time, this time he came to buy a wireless network card, and at the same time, he also had to buy two tablets.

No need to ask, these two things were bought for the two children of Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao.

Xuan Ling is only twelve or thirteen years old, and Xuan Bao is only a few years old, and the two are at the age of curiosity, so Li Xiaofan bought one of these things for the two of them, which also has a certain meaning, and the two of them can also watch TV and study on it.

Back in the hotel, Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao were still watching TV, because the two of them received the new type of TV for the first time, so they watched TV tirelessly, even before going to bed last night, they were still reluctant, and they also put their eyes on the TV.

Li Xiaofan smiled bitterly, and finally took out the door rules to threaten the two of them, so that the two of them put down the remote control of the TV, and then went to sleep obediently!

Early this morning, before Li Xiaofan got up, the two of them had already gotten up to watch TV, especially when they saw the wonderful places, they shouted and screamed, so angry that Li Xiaofan stomped his feet.

But Li Xiaofan also knew that these two children had never seen these technological things in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, so they didn't say much.

Li Xiaofan took out two tablets from his bag, at first Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao didn't care, and focused on the TV, but when Li Xiaofan slowly said the usefulness of this tablet, the eyes of the two people lit up.

The two turned off the TV directly, and then ran to Li Xiaofan's side and asked Li Xiaofan to teach them how to use the tablet.

Li Xiaofan looked at these two little Taoist priests like this, and smiled bitterly, the curiosity of these two little Taoist priests was too heavy.

However, he didn't hesitate too much, just after a while, he told the two little Taoists all this, and the two little Taoists also had a very strong learning ability, and they didn't think long before they figured out how to use this thing.
