Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 742 - 738: The Background Really Looks Like Xie Jingchen

Chapter 742: Chapter 738: The Background Really Looks Like Xie Jingchen

——————

Speaking of serious matters, the two women both looked earnest.

Chen Xiufang took out a stack of papers from her lady’s bag and pulled out one to hand to Yan Jinsu, while still explaining:

"Ni, take a look at the content of this paper."

Yan Jinsu nodded, carefully reading each word with her delicate apricot eyes.

"The old medicine man who popped up this time is surnamed Fu, and he is quite famous in Z county town. In his youth, Elder Fu was a well-known medicine seeker, but he stopped heading to the mountains because, ten years ago, his son met a tragic fate in the deep mountains.

Had it not been for his grandson being bitten by a poisonous creature while mountain climbing with classmates earlier this year, and treatment being delayed causing sluggish lower body response, the old man would not have resumed his former occupation."

Just at that moment, Yan Jinsu also read about Elder Fu’s legendary life, thinking about the sorrow of trading white hair for black, with his son dying in the deep mountains while seeking herbs - certainly a great blow to the old man.

"Right, no wonder this old medicine man acts this way. For his only grandson, what is a bit of shame compared to health."

Chen Xiufang was briefly stifled by Ni’s understanding comment, thinking to herself, well, what Ni says does seem to make some sense.

The one who is severely ill isn’t her relative; she truly just blames the old medicine man for acting unethically, yet she can’t fault his grandfatherly compassion.

"Currently, through Chen Dongzhe’s inquiries, we roughly know that there are seven pharmaceutical companies participating in the auction, including our Zhongdan Pharmaceutical."

Chen Dongzhe is Chen Xiufang’s eldest nephew, already over twenty years old. For the past three years, he has been working with Chen Xiufang at Zhongdan Pharmaceutical, and he has now become her right-hand man.

"That’s good, when is the auction time? What’s the starting price?"

"Tomorrow at three in the afternoon, just across the street from this hotel, in the largest cinema. The starting price is sixty thousand, with each increment of a thousand."

Century-old ginseng, though sold outside, typically fetches around one hundred thousand [fictionally].

So, the starting price of sixty thousand isn’t really excessive.

"How much cash did we bring?" Yan Jinsu frowned, noting that carrying large sums of money across provinces is indeed problematic.

"Since I didn’t expect them to act like this, I thought ten thousand would be enough to secure the century-old ginseng, so, I only prepared one hundred thousand."

Chen Xiufang really felt depressed when saying this.

In previous years, century-old ginseng aged one hundred and twenty years would sell for ninety-three thousand.

But now, Elder Fu has set an auction mode starting at sixty thousand, leaving only a margin of forty thousand, such a narrow gap could easily cause a miscalculation.

"Don’t worry, now that we know what Elder Fu is lacking, our chances are even greater!"

Yan Jinsu thought, since he was a distinguished medicine seeker, though he hadn’t been to the deep mountains in recent years, he must have earned a decent amount of money.

People, aren’t afraid of troubles, they fear illnesses. Therefore, for those who are wealthier, no amount of money matters if there’s no life to enjoy it.

Put it another way, no matter how expensive the medicine is, as long as there is a price and stock.

"Are you saying?" Chen Xiufang asked hesitantly.

"A century-old ginseng is not just for a single prescription! With this century-old medicinal herb, plus the ingredients we have been collecting over the last two years, we can make at least two prescriptions. One of them could cure Elder Fu’s grandson’s lower body condition."

As long as it is ’poison,’ there is always a cure.

Yan Jinsu was still confident in this. The old prescription that has been researched for decades in the future era is unparalleled.

"Really?" Chen Xiufang was genuinely happy, blurting out, "As long as we can cure Elder Fu’s grandson, we probably have a 90% chance of getting the medicinal materials!"

After all, Elder Fu resumed his old profession because of his seriously ill grandson, didn’t he? The money from selling the medicinal materials is for the child’s treatment. If they can use treating his grandson as leverage to buy more medicine, why would anyone refuse!

"Alright, now that we have identified the difficulty, our chances of obtaining the medicinal materials are definitely more than fifty percent. Now, it’s up to Elder Fu to believe in our Chinese medicine or not!"

"Hey, little girl, do we even need to doubt the reputation of our Zhongdan?" Chen Xiufang said, very proud of herself!

Yan Jinsu glared at her and huffed, "Sister Xiu Fang, be careful not to capsize in a small canal."

Not everyone is likely to trust our Chinese medicine.

With so many people in the nation, and television not yet widespread, and advertising still not started, Zhongdan is better known in big cities.

Z county town has a top-tier economic development; they should recognize Zhongdan, but whether they endorse it is beyond Yan Jinsu’s knowledge.

"Ugh, do you ever stop undermining your dignity?" Chen Xiufang, hands on her hips, flicked her hair and pretending to be annoyed as she stared at the yawning woman said:

"Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore, get some good sleep. Tomorrow is the bidding day. You need to rest now, and this afternoon, we can go out for a meal and check the quality of the medicinal herb dealers here."

Y province is far after all; Chen Xiufang hasn’t come here to inspect the quality of medicinal materials herself yet. Now that she’s here, it’s a good opportunity to understand the situation.

Their Zhongdan business has been growing, and the current medicinal materials suppliers are already a bit unable to keep up.

Finding two more suppliers is a must, so it’s good to get a head start on understanding the situation now.

"Fine. No need to see me out." Yan Jinsu nodded, her hair already dry. She just escorted Sister Xiu Fang to the door, then swiftly locked the door and threw herself back on the bed, soon drifting off to sleep.

On the other hand, Li Jianfeng was incredulously staring at the tall and stately man across from him, who was following a young girl.

From the background, he looked a lot like Xie Jingchen.

However, just when Li Jianfeng thought it was Xie Jingchen, as he grabbed the man’s arm, and saw his cold, stern face looking over, and noticed the scar from his brow to his ear, he gasped sharply.

Li Jianfeng retreated two large steps in fright and hurriedly bent over to apologize,

"I’m sorry, comrade, I mistook you for someone else."

It turned out, this man was not Xie Jingchen at all!

Realizing this, Li Jianfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Watching the girl who looked very excited, tugging at the tall, scar-faced man, who seemed unafraid of the scar on the man’s face — it made Li Jianfeng look rather cowardly.

Li Jianfeng saw that the man just gave him an expressionless glance and then followed the girl’s pull and walked away, but he still felt very odd inside—
