A few days later.
Under the careful care of Dong Xuebin and Yu Meixia, twenty Wild Ginseng plants were finally dried.
Today is Friday. Dong Xuebin got up in the morning and after breakfast, he stood in front of the window and observed the situation of Wild Ginseng. Well, it was not bad. In this semi-dry state with only a little moisture retained, there was no need to worry about it getting rotten. Then Dong Xuebin thought about how to sell these wild ginseng. It would be a pity to sell them all. Maybe he would still have them in the future. It's useful, you can eat it yourself or give it as a gift. This thing is a high-end thing, so Dong Xuebin only plans to sell the best one, the 100-year-old and the 90-year-old Wild Ginseng. The remaining dozens of Wild Ginseng plants, if added together and doubled in price, may not be as valuable as these two plants. Da Tou is on top of these two.
But how to sell it became a problem. The Power of Time and Wealth 194
Yes, the two Hundred-Year Ginseng plants dug up by Dong Xuebin are completely three-no products. There is no factory certificate, no certificate of qualification, and the place of origin is so weird. If one plant is offered for one million, who would dare to buy it? Their Wild Ginsengs are all processed by regular factories. They have boxes, certificates, codes, and anti-counterfeiting marks. Only other people are willing to buy the kind of high-quality Wild Ginsengs, but I have no guarantee at all.
While at work, Dong Xuebin, who was sitting in his office, came up with an idea.
Dong Xuebin turned on the computer and went online to check some regular Wild Ginseng processing manufacturers, and finally found a fairly large-scale enterprise, and it had an exclusive marketing point in Capital City, so Dong Xuebin made a call and found their person in charge, "Hey, I have some Wild Ginseng here, and I want your factory to help with packaging and labeling. How much does this cost?"
The person in charge was not surprised when he heard this. Packaging was not popular in the past, and many Wild Ginsengs were sold directly wrapped in a box. Now people's brand awareness is getting stronger, and many people want to package Wild Ginsengs, mainly for gift giving., the person in charge has heard this request many times, "I have to see the specific situation before I can tell. If you want to put our company's packaging on it and want anti-counterfeiting codes, you have to go through a series of instrument tests. If there is something wrong with the product, it will not be easy for us to handle. We have to be responsible to the consumers."
This Dong Xuebin understands that no one wants to take responsibility for nothing, "Okay, I'll take the things over there and let's make an appointment."
"I'll leave you a scholar's Chinese website. Call me when you arrive."
"By the way, how much does it cost to package a Wild Ginseng plant?"
"It depends on the year and grade. Let's talk about it after we meet." This matter was not in compliance with the rules. Naturally, the person in charge could not clearly state the price on the phone.
Qu Yunxuan called last night, the company's auction was about to start, Dong Xuebin happened to have to go back Capital City. Yes, if we can successfully package these Wild Ginseng and turn them into qualified products, we will be able to catch up with the first auction. Having such a good thing worth millions will also improve the reputation of our company, and the commissions from selling the things will not go to outsiders. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Dong Xuebin nodded secretly and immediately went to Liang Chengpeng's office to ask for leave. Unexpectedly, Director Liang was not here. He heard that he was going to the hospital to see his mother, so Dong Xuebin said hello to Hu Silian and said he was going back to Capital City came back next Monday and asked for the keys of Buick Business. He went home and carefully loaded those Wild Ginseng into the car. He told Yu Meixia several times to let her look after the house, and called Mom, Liu Dahai and others respectively.
After explaining everything, Dong Xuebin drove towards Capital City!
One hour...
Five hours...
Ten hours...
Capital City, 7:50 in the evening.
Dong Xuebin drove from the suburbs into the city. He looked at the back seat and saw that there were already piles of packed Wild Ginseng exquisite boxes. Those Wild Ginsengs brought from Yantai County were all lying in the boxes one by one. These took Dong Xuebin a lot of effort. After arriving at Capital City in the morning, he showed the things to the person in charge of the processing plant. After a series of tests, it was proved that these were indeed real Wild Ginseng and not artificially cultivated. Seeing that Dong Xuebin took out so many at once, The person in charge was immediately shocked. The lion asked for 300,000 yuan for the packaging fee. In the end, after haggling over the price, Dong Xuebin paid for it with a 30-year-old Wild Ginseng. He still felt a little sick in his heart, but he also knew that without these guarantees on the packaging, it would be too difficult to sell his Wild Ginseng.
In the city, Dong Xuebin was wandering aimlessly, not thinking about where to go.
After the car got on the third ring road, Dong Xuebin decided to go to his and Aunt Xuan's company to have a look. It had been in business for so long, and the boss behind the scenes had never seen anything about the company, which was really shameful. If Aunt Xuan was there, he would just be tired of her.
South Third Ring Road, Shili River. The Power of Time and Wealth 194
There are many Antique Market here, as well as Auction Company, and the location of Aunt Xuan is not far from Qiaodong.
Dong Xuebin drove and parked on the side of the road, opened the door and got out, looking at the not very impressive brand opposite - Yun De Auction House. This name was given by Dong Xuebin. Qu Yunxuan was originally called Binxuan Auction. They each took one character from their names. However, Dong Xuebin thought it was too fancy and lacked the simplicity of Auction Company. He didn't want to bring his own name to it, so he only took one character from Qu Yunxuan's name and added a word.
Auction House has two floors in total. The front door is open, and the large chandelier inside is brightly lit. It seems that the door is not closed yet.
Dong Xuebin stood there and thought for a while, then returned to the car and held the two boxes of Hundred-Year Ginseng in his hands, then walked inside while looking around. Compared with the Hanhai Auction House located in Liulichang that he had been to, the decoration of Yun De Auction Company was a little worse. It used to be a pawn shop, but now it is not even decorated, and almost still uses the original layout. This was Qu Yunxuan's original intention to save money.
On the opposite side, a female staff member greeted her with a smile, "Sir, may I ask..."
Dong Xuebin smiled and raised the box in his hand, "I want to bid, Wild Ginseng."
"Wild Ginseng? Please wait a moment." The female staff member was a little suspicious and turned towards a middle-aged man drinking tea in the rest area. "Teacher Feng, can you help me take a look at something? It's Wild Ginseng."
Teacher Feng nodded, put down the cup, stood up, looked at Dong Xuebin and asked, "How old is it?"
Dong Xuebin smiled slightly and said nothing.
Teacher Feng looked a little startled, then sighed and said, "Go to the office upstairs."
The corridor upstairs is very narrow, and the three people standing side by side are barely wide. Turning around, Teacher Feng led Dong Xuebin into a reception room, "Can you take out the things and let me take a look?"
Dong Xuebin put both boxes of wild ginseng on the table.
Teacher Feng casually pulled one of the boxes over, opened the lid, and looked under the transparent glass. He was stunned, and then glanced at the certificate underneath, "...Hundred-Year Wild Ginseng!?" His heart skipped a beat. Come on, he has seen a lot of Wild Ginseng, and he was lucky enough to taste it once, but he has never even seen the 100-year-old Wild Ginseng. He only saw some pictures on the Internet. He never expected that someone would actually put it up for auction!
Dong Xuebin looked at him, "I wonder if this ginseng thing can be shot?"
Teacher Feng held back his emotions and said, "Of course you can. We at Auction Company not only auction collections of antiques, but also some famous wines, watches, or other precious items." He put down his hands. In the box, Teacher Feng opened the lid of another high-quality box. Immediately, a breath of cold air came back to the chest, and there was another Wild Ginseng that was nearly a century old. From the perspective of anti-counterfeiting, it should not be fake!
Dong Xuebin said, "How are things?"
Teacher Feng commented pertinently. "A thousand pieces of gold are hard to come by; a thousand pieces of gold are hard to find!"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "I heard that tomorrow is the preview of your company's first auction. I think it's not too late. Can you put these two Wild Ginseng plants on the shelves? And then participate in the auction the day after tomorrow?"
"This..." Teacher Feng hesitated. "It may be too late for operation."
Dong Xuebin said, "It doesn't matter, the preview is considered an advertisement, and it will be enough to put it on the website banner."
Teacher Feng always felt that this person was a bit strange and his requirements were strange. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, "Well, I have to ask the boss what he wants."
Dong Xuebin hummed, "Isn't your boss here?" The Power of Time and Wealth 194
"Boss Qu will go back in the afternoon and is busy with the preview. Well, please wait a moment and I will make a call."
"Okay."
Teacher Feng knew that this customer was Yun De Auction House's biggest one so far, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He poured Dong Xuebin a cup of hot tea before leaving the office and called Qu Yunxuan, "Hey, Mr. Qu, a customer came here and brought two Wild Ginseng... not ordinary ginseng., it's a 100-year-old Wild Ginseng. You may not know the current price of Wild Ginseng. These two boxes can be sold for at least two million... Yes, the price is ten thousand per gram... Hmm... Hmm... The other party asked for a preview tomorrow. It's urgent... Hmm... Is the main auction item still the Hetian Jade Hairpin... Oh... OK, I understand, then I will tell him."
Being able to handle such two precious items, Teacher Feng was in a great mood. After returning to the office, he smiled warmly at Dong Xuebin and said, "Mr. Qu said, I'll do as you wish. Both boxes of Wild Ginseng will be on display at tomorrow's preview. Young man, we're a little pressed for time. Should we sign the contract first?"
Dong Xuebin was also very happy, "Okay, you can get me a copy."
Teacher Feng said, "Then I'll call someone to take care of it."
After signing the contract, Dong Xuebin left two boxes of Wild Ginseng here. He was quite satisfied with his company's service attitude, work efficiency and overall performance, but he did not tell Qu Yunxuan, nor did he tell her that he was coming to Capital City. He mainly wanted to stay for a while and give her a surprise.
