Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 79: I Just Hate Taking Losses
"Naturally," Gu Jin replied very candidly.
She still had dozens of wild ginsengs in her possession, enough for her to make the money she needed in the future.
Moreover, she wouldn’t be heading back to Qingluan Mountain to dig for ginseng again for the time being. Her goal wasn’t to get rich by selling ginseng but to pursue far greater ambitions.
While there were wild ginsengs in Qingluan Mountain, a good one required an extremely long growth period, enduring natural disasters like freezing, heavy rain, and diseases during its painfully slow growth process.
They also frequently fell prey to insects chewing and rats gnawing, leaving the survival rate of wild ginsengs very low. Every wild ginseng that survived had gone through numerous hardships.
Even the ones she had dug up from the mountain had various flaws.
Qingluan Mountain was so large that she didn’t have the energy to venture into unknown dangers to search for wild ginseng.
Perhaps she would go again if the opportunity arose, but for now, she had no plans to return. In a few months, she would be going to school; she still had to care for the little ones, resist the upcoming rain disaster in a month, and make a trip to Shenzhen—there were many tasks waiting for her.
Therefore, collaborating with Qiu Qianghai in front of her was a decent choice for her.
"May I ask how many you have?" Qiu Qianghai’s eyes gleamed briefly.
Gu Jin glanced at the three ginseng on the table: "About dozens, but none of them are as good as these."
Qiu Qianghai studied her seriously for a moment, rubbed his chin, and said, "Okay, then I’ll give you a fair price. Last year, I sold a wild ginseng that was half the size of this one, with incomplete roots, for thirty-eight thousand.
I can offer up to a hundred thousand for the largest wild ginseng here. If it were to be put up for auction, it might fetch more, but Wanhai City’s auction won’t be held until the end of the year."
The sudden increase to forty thousand, or a hundred thousand for a single piece; Liu Quan and the others standing by her side didn’t know what expression to show.
Looking at the younger Gu Jin, who remained calm and composed with a serene expression, displaying a composure beyond her years.
Gu Jin: "Alright, and what about the other two?"
Qiu Qianghai examined the other two ginsengs again, his demeanor very solemn as he carefully checked their roots and stems.
He carefully placed the ginsengs back on the table and quoted a price: "I can pay eighty thousand for these two."
Gu Jin gently shook her head, her face full of tranquility.
"Eighty-five thousand at most!" Qiu Qianghai gritted his teeth.
"Ninety thousand." Gu Jin stroked the two ginsengs, "Although these two aren’t large, the roots are intact."
The ginsengs she excavated with spiritual power had to be sold for a little more not to suffer a loss.
Qiu Qianghai stared at Gu Jin for a while before laughing, "You’re a girl who truly doesn’t suffer any losses."
Gu Jin squinted her eyes into a crescent shape and laughed: "I like everything except losing."
"Where did you find me such a hard nut!" Qiu Qianghai pretended to angrily say to Liu Quan.
The latter looked terrified, laughing as he spoke, "I didn’t find this ancestor; I don’t have that skill."
After hearing the price of these three ginsengs, Liu Quan’s heart was in turmoil, feeling that today was truly a stroke of luck. He might now have some standing in front of Brother Hai in the future.
Indeed, Qiu Qianghai laughed and said, "I’ll credit you a merit today."
"Thank you, Brother Hai, thank you..."
As the two talked, Gu Jin walked to the table, retrieved her newly issued ID card from her briefcase, put it in the pocket of her cardigan, closed and locked the briefcase, and handed it to Gu Jiajie standing next to her.
