Chapter 127: Chapter 111: The Cattle Gallstone Has an Owner, Final Price 1.49 Million!

"Yes!"

Simultaneously with Jiang Tao choosing "Yes" in his mind, he first felt a buzz from the smartphone in his left pants pocket.

Immediately after, he felt a square and hard object appear in his right pants pocket.

[Deduction successful! The natural bezoar has been acquired and delivered. Please check it!]

Seeing the new line of text appear on his retina, Jiang Tao excitedly put his hand into his pocket and felt around.

The item in his pocket felt like a small wooden box.

The natural bezoar is probably inside!

The methods of the Daily Intelligence System to acquire the natural bezoar were miraculous, and no one except Jiang Tao noticed anything.

"I’m going to the restroom."

Jiang Tao greeted a few people and then turned to walk towards the restroom in the southwest corner of the courtyard.

In the past two years, the village’s restrooms had also been renovated; they were no longer the old latrines, becoming much cleaner and hygienic.

Once inside, Jiang Tao closed the door with his back hand before taking out the item in his right pocket to examine it.

It was a palm-sized wooden box with a natural wood color.

Opening the box, inside was a small, irregular sphere about the color of a honey date.

In Jiang Tao’s vision, a line of text was displayed on the small sphere:

[Natural Bezoar (Weight: 1000 grams)]

"Such a small thing can actually sell for 1.49 million!"

Recalling Brother Tongzi’s intelligence about the estimated price of the natural bezoar, Jiang Tao swallowed his saliva in excitement.

1.49 million!

How many years would it take to earn that much by driving a freight truck?

years? 30 years?

With just one piece of intelligence from Brother Tongzi, he saved 30 years of hard work!

"But how to sell this thing? To whom?"

With the natural bezoar in hand, Jiang Tao now faced a new problem: how to sell it and cash out?

Jiang Tao had no experience in this area at all.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry.

Natural bezoar is inherently scarce, always in short supply, and consistently a seller’s market.

Selling it and cashing out isn’t particularly difficult.

He could sell it to some pharmaceutical companies or traditional Chinese medicine factories.

Then there’s also...

Jiang Tao thought of another person, Zhang Bo of the Beijing Boya Auction House.

Zhang Bo’s family had been in the auction business for over a decade, surely with broader connections than his own.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tao took out his phone, snapped a photo of the bezoar, and sent it to Zhang Bo on WeChat.

He explained the situation and asked him to promote it in his circle of friends.

As a result, it was less than two minutes after Jiang Tao sent the WeChat message that Zhang Bo called directly!

"Brother Jiang! Do you have that bezoar? Is it purely natural? You aren’t joking with me, right?"

On the phone, Zhang Bo’s voice was incredibly excited, asking Jiang Tao several questions in a row.

Hearing Zhang Bo’s voice, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but chuckle:

"What do you mean, Zhang Bo? Surely your family doesn’t collect bezoar as well?"

"Haha, Brother Jiang, you’re right! We do collect it! But it must be genuine!"

Jiang Tao said, "Don’t worry about that; it’s absolutely genuine and purely natural. You can test it as much as you like."

"Brother Jiang, how heavy is your bezoar? What’s your asking price?"

Zhang Bo didn’t waste time and directly got to the point, asking about the bezoar’s details.

"Not too much, not too little, exactly 1000 grams. As for the price..."

"Zhang Bo, we’ve collaborated several times quite happily, if not as friends, then at least as acquaintances."

"I won’t gouge the price, and you don’t haggle with me—it’s meaningless. One price, 1.49 million."

"If you can accept this price, I’ll sell it to you; if not, I’ll sell it to someone else."

Jiang Tao was straightforward, not inclined to haggle with Zhang Bo, nor greedy.

He directly quoted the price estimated by the Daily Intelligence System.

"1000 grams, 1.49 million..."

"Brother Jiang, for such a valuable item, I need to discuss it with my dad. I can’t make the decision on my own right now."

Hearing Jiang Tao’s offer, Zhang Bo didn’t say whether it was expensive or cheap.

"Alright, I’ll wait for your good news."

Jiang Tao wasn’t in a hurry; after chatting a couple more lines, they hung up.

...

Beijing, Jingsong Garden District, Building 5, Unit 3, Room 402.

After hanging up the voice call with Jiang Tao, Zhang Bo opened the picture he sent and examined it closely.

From his perspective, the quality of the natural bezoar in the picture seemed very high, with excellent preservation.

Then, Zhang Bo sent the picture to his father, Zhang Long, and dialed his voice call.

"Hey Dad, take a look at this bezoar I sent you. What’s the quality like?"

Once the call connected, Zhang Bo got straight to the point with business without any small talk.

"Hmm? Good stuff! Excellent quality! Your luck’s been good lately!"

"Just yesterday, you settled hundreds of Yuan Shikai coinage, and now there’s a high-quality bezoar."

"The price of bezoar has been rising this year, with significant profit margins."

"This one looks about 1000 grams."

The voice on the other end, Zhang Long’s, was full of surprise and delight.

"You’re still the expert, Dad. According to the client, this bezoar is neither more nor less than 1000 grams."

Zhang Long asked, "How much is the client’s offer?"

Zhang Bo replied truthfully, "1.49 million."

"Hmm, a professional! That price is very on point. I estimate that if we acquire it, we could sell it for at most 1.6 million."

Hearing Jiang Tao’s offer, Zhang Long considered him knowledgeable.

"So Dad, what’s your opinion? Should we take it?"

"By the way, this customer is the same one who sold me the Yuan Shikai coinage yesterday."

"The same person? Wow, this client is something else, bringing us two major deals at the start of the year."
