Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 113 - 106: Natural Bezoar Worth 1.49 Million!

Chapter 113: Chapter 106: Natural Bezoar Worth 1.49 Million!

When Jiang Tao opened his eyes, it was already a little past 8 in the morning.

The space next to him was empty, with Xu Li’s figure long gone.

"Sigh~"

Jiang Tao sat up from the bed and rubbed his aching lower back.

The past couple of days had been somewhat exhausting, his waist felt sore yet invigorating.

Truly, having a lovely wife at home, yet goji berries can’t cure this!

It’s time to start using the Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill.

Jiang Tao wasn’t in a hurry to get out of bed and get dressed.

With a thought, he opened the interface of the Daily Intelligence System, first checking the latest intelligence refreshed in the early hours of today.

[Today’s Intelligence 01]:

Yesterday, you visited your uncle Tian Xiaoguang at the Tian Family Manor cattle farm and obtained the following intelligence—

Inside the Tian Family Manor cattle farm, there is a natural bezoar weighing 1000 grams in an old yellow cow.

Buy the old yellow cow, obtain the bezoar, and earn 1.49 million yuan!

[Note]: There are 0 hours and 49 minutes remaining before this old yellow cow is purchased by another buyer.

...

Seeing the first piece of intelligence refreshed today,

Jiang Tao’s breath became a bit rapid.

How much profit?

1.49 million!!

The four gold bars he received were only worth 270,000, less than 300,000!

The 1000 grams of bezoar, which equals 2 jin, could actually be sold for the high price of 1.49 million!!

This thing’s worth even more than gold?

Jiang Tao almost trembled with both hands while typing "natural bezoar" into the browser, searching briefly.

Soon, some information about natural bezoar appeared on his phone.

In recent years, the cattle market has been in a slump.

But the price of natural bezoar has been skyrocketing like a rocket!

The gold, which surged in price this year, didn’t even dare to claim itself as a precious metal in front of bezoar.

The price of natural bezoar jumped from 570,000 yuan/kg at the beginning of 23 to 1.4 million yuan/kg by the end of 23, a 240% increase!

Even as the price reached a high altitude in 24, the price surge of natural bezoar didn’t end.

At its highest, in September of 24,

the price of natural bezoar soared to 1.6 to 1.7 million yuan/kg!

By 25, the price uptrend of natural bezoar finally ended, experiencing a slight decline.

Yet, the market price was still around 1.5 million yuan/kg.

That means the 1000 grams of bezoar mentioned in Brother Tongzi’s intelligence can sell for as high as 1.49 million!

The reason for such high prices of natural bezoar is naturally the principle of rarity equating to value.

Because it’s extremely scarce, the price is so high.

Natural bezoar is essentially a type of gallstone formed inside the cow, a pathological product, with low occurrence.

Especially in modern society, as farming becomes more modernized, rural cows have almost disappeared.

Both domestic and foreign cattle farms follow modern farming models to maximize profit.

Calves are raised for 2 to 2.5 years, reaching optimal profit when weighing 500-600 kilograms.

Farmers generally sell them during this period.

But forming natural bezoar typically takes over 5 years, or even over a decade!

Coupled with the occurrence of cow gallstones being merely 0.1% to 0.2%.

The long time span and low probability naturally deter anyone from foolishly raising cattle to gamble on natural bezoar.

Those who acquire natural bezoar are merely as lucky as lottery winners.

It all depends on fate, never forced.

"Yesterday’s visit to see Uncle wasn’t wasted, this intel is powerful!"

"If I could get such intelligence every day, earning 1.5 million a day, that’s 45 million a month..."

"That’s 540 million a year! 10 years..."

Of course, Jiang Tao knew he was dreaming.

Even with the River Stone boosting his luck, it’s impossible to consistently refresh such high-value intelligence every day.

Seeing the [Note] indicating over an hour left before that cow is purchased by someone else,

Jiang Tao didn’t rush, slowly got dressed while turning to check today’s second piece of intel.

[Today’s Intelligence 02]

Yesterday, while waiting to watch a movie with your family at Earth Cinema, you visited the cinema’s merchandise area and obtained relevant intelligence—

On the shelves in the merchandise area, within a Heaven-Fighting Bag from "Nezha: The Demon Child’s Rebellion", there’s one containing Director Jiaozi’s signature card.

This signature card’s value is 98,000 yuan!

[Note]: 3 minutes and 10 seconds remaining before this card is purchased!

...

"3 minutes!!"

"Damn, the cost of sleeping in today is quite high!!!"

Seeing the second piece of intel about the "Director Jiaozi signature card" being sold with only 3 minutes left, Jiang Tao was speechless!

From his home to Earth Cinema in Ping County is over 5 kilometers; even flying there wouldn’t make it!

"Think of another way!"

"There has to be a way!"

"Right, call the cinema staff, ask them to tell the merchandise area I’m buying them all!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Tao hurriedly searched for Earth Cinema’s phone number in Ping County on a group buying app and called.

Beep beep beep...

Time passed second by second, and no one answered the cinema’s number listed on the app!

Jiang Tao anxiously glanced at the countdown displayed on the system interface.

Now, there’s only a little over 2 minutes left before the Director Jiaozi signature card is sold!

Is he just going to watch that nearly 100,000 yuan Heaven-Fighting Bag being bought by someone else...

Inside, Jiang Tao couldn’t help feeling regret, wishing he had checked the intelligence last night!

His eyes fixed unblinkingly on the countdown in the system interface, Jiang Tao’s mind raced, his fingers subconsciously swiping his phone.

What to do, what to do, what to do...

Suddenly, Jiang Tao’s fingers stopped scrolling.

Then he swiftly scrolled up a few times.

Finally, his gaze locked onto a WeChat moment posted by his sister-in-law Xu Sha one minute ago.

Jiang Tao was all too familiar with the first photo in the moment, wasn’t it just the entrance of the Earth Cinema he visited yesterday!
