Chapter 138

“That’s not right, Tang Feng just said this is a thirty-year-old wild ginseng.”

Mao Anyi still couldn’t let go, as this was their only hope, she really couldn’t accept it.

“Who is Tang Feng?” the old man asked with confusion.

“That’s me,” Tang Feng stepped forward proactively.

“Are you a medical practitioner?” the old man sized him up and asked with hesitation.

“No.”

“Then on what basis do you claim this is thirty years old?”

“I… guessed.”

Tang Feng wanted to see what exactly this old guy was up to, so he deliberately did not make himself clear.

When the old man heard his reason, he immediately laughed, “Guessed? How can you guess on such a matter?”

“I can tell you very responsibly that this wild ginseng indeed only is ten years old.”

Mao Anyi sighed in disappointment, “Then doesn’t that mean it doesn’t meet Mr. Ouyang’s requirements?”

The old man glanced over her and Tang Feng’s faces, “Although this wild ginseng does not meet Mr. Ouyang’s requirements, it’s still a rare fine product. I am willing to buy it with my own money. Would you be willing to sell?”

Mao Anyi, lackluster, pursed her lips, “This wild ginseng belongs to Tang Feng, you ask him.”

The old man turned his head towards Tang Feng, “As long as you are willing to sell, I can assure you a good price.”

Tang Feng nonchalantly touched his nose, “How much can you offer?”

“Ten… Two hundred thousand,” the old man hesitated for a moment before stating a figure.

“Two hundred thousand?” Mao Anyi was immediately astounded.

Although she knew wild ginseng was valuable, she had not expected it to be so expensive.

Just a ten-year-old wild ginseng could actually sell for two hundred thousand?

What if it were thirty years old?

“Tang Feng, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and agree,” she said anxiously when she saw Tang Feng had not spoken.

Twenty thousand for nothing, what was there to hesitate about?

Tang Feng had appeared to be in a trance just now, but in fact, he was trying to figure out the identity of this old man.

The old man was named Ma Youming, and he had opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic called Ciren Hall in Zhonghai.

He was quite a famous miracle doctor in Zhonghai.

“Two hundred thousand? That’s a bit low,” he said indifferently, eyeing Ma Youming. The old fellow seemed kindly and benevolent, but he sure played dirty tricks.

“After all, this is just a ten-year-old wild ginseng, two hundred thousand isn’t little,” Ma Youming was very sincere in his attitude, quite beguiling.

“Then I won’t sell,” Tang Feng took the wild ginseng back from his hands and made as if to leave.

“Wait a moment.” Ma Youming was suddenly anxious and hurriedly stopped him, “How about this, I already came all this way, so I might as well take a loss. A flat rate of three hundred thousand, how about it?”

Mao Anyi was even more surprised.

She thought two hundred thousand was already high, but it had increased by one hundred thousand in a matter of minutes.

But to her surprise, Tang Feng seemed unsatisfied with the price, “Heh, three hundred thousand? Are you giving alms to a beggar?”

Ma Youming also got angry, glaring at him furiously, “Go outside and ask how much a ten-year-old wild ginseng costs. I’m already offering extra out of respect for Mr. Chang, don’t be too greedy.”

Tang Feng couldn’t help but scoff, “Since you think I’m being greedy, then you might as well buy from someone else. Let’s go.”

After speaking, he took Mao Anyi’s hand and started to walk out.

Mao Anyi followed behind him, full of confusion.

She really couldn’t understand what Tang Feng was thinking.

Thirty thousand was akin to picking up money for him, yet he was still not satisfied?

Just when they had taken a few steps, they heard Ma Youming speak again, “Then tell me, how much are you willing to sell for?”

Tang Feng had already expected that he would speak up, and contempt flashed across his eyes, “You really want me to set a price?”

Ma Youming nodded, “Start with your expected price, let’s see if it’s acceptable.”

“Five million,” Tang Feng stated his price without hesitation.

He was very clear about what kind of game Ma Youming was playing.

Probably thinking they were easy to dupe because they were young.

Wanting to buy this wild ginseng at a very low price and then resell it to Mr. Ouyang.

Not only could he make a big profit, but he could also earn some favors.

If the other party was willing to pay five million, he wouldn’t mind giving that chance to earn a favor to the other party.

After all, he had no intention of clinging to Mr. Ouyang.

But upon hearing his price, Ma Youming was so shocked he jumped up, “Five million? You sure know how to make an extravagant demand.”

“Let alone a ten-year-old wild ginseng, even a thirty-year-old one wouldn’t sell for that much.”

Even Mao Anyi beside him felt that Tang Feng’s asking price was outrageous.

It even seemed a bit like bullying.

She became even more puzzled, wondering what exactly Tang Feng was planning.

“Five million, not a penny less,” Tang Feng said with finality.

“Heh, you think I’m a fool to play with? I can only offer five hundred thousand, not a penny more,” Ma Youming still wanted to play the game of sky-high asking prices and bargain down from there.

But Tang Feng was out of patience and turned to leave.

“Young man, I advise you to sell the wild ginseng to me honestly, or else you won’t get a penny,” Ma Youming did not stop him this time, but said leisurely.

Tang Feng slowly turned back to look at him, “Threatening me? With what right?”

Ma Youming glanced in the direction of where the wild ginseng had been dug up, “This place belongs to the Zhonghai Clubhouse, by all accounts, this wild ginseng is theirs.”

“If you sell it to me willingly, I guarantee I won’t make a fuss. Otherwise, I’ll have to tell the clubhouse. If I can’t have it, neither can you.”

“How can you be like this?” Mao Anyi, who had a good impression of Ma Youming, was suddenly shown his true colors, and she could hardly contain her anger.

Ma Youming smiled confidently, “We’re all just looking out for our interests, no need to burn bridges.”

“You’re pretty much picking up five hundred thousand for nothing, that’s quite decent. Young man, don’t be too greedy.”

Mao Anyi hadn’t expected this kind-looking old man to be so vile upon revealing his true nature.

The human heart is treacherous; you can never be too careful.
