Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 439 - 278: Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng and the Deal (Triple Release)

Chapter 439: Chapter 278: Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng and the Deal (Triple Release)

In the early morning hours, Qi Yun sat in the study and answered a call from Hong Weize.

"Hello, Brother Hong."

"Brother Qi, they agreed to meet and talk, tomorrow afternoon at two, West Mountain Cemetery." Hong Weize got straight to the point, delivering the information without wasting words.

"West Mountain Cemetery?" Qi Yun was taken aback, "Why choose such a place?"

Hong Weize shook his head with a wry smile, "I don’t know either, the middleman said it’s the seller’s designated location."

Qi Yun pondered slightly, "Alright, got it, I’ll be there tomorrow."

"Okay." Hong Weize added another detail, "And there’s another condition, if the deal goes through, they only want gold bars."

"Twenty million in gold bars?"

"Yes."

Qi Yun chuckled, "Seems like they are pretty confident, huh?"

A black market deal, daring to ask for cash, indicates a lot of confidence, not fearing a double-cross.

Twenty million in gold bars amounts to over sixty kilograms, not easy to handle.

Hong Weize also laughed, "No idea what’s backing them, want me to go with you?"

"No need to trouble you, I can go myself." Qi Yun declined Hong Weize’s kindness.

Hong Weize didn’t insist, but he reminded, "Alright, take care of yourself, okay?"

Qi Yun nodded, "Heh, okay, thanks a lot, let’s grab a meal another day."

After ending the call, Qi Yun lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring.

From the previous intel, the opposite side is just a gang of thieves, not some fearless criminals, where do they get the confidence to demand gold bars? Sure they can leave safely?

Qi Yun couldn’t figure out where their confidence came from...

After pondering for a few seconds, he had an idea and picked up his phone to call Ma Baoguo, the two communicated for about four or five minutes.

After the call, Qi Yun extinguished the cigarette butt and began to check today’s intelligence report.

[Current intelligence point: 19]

[Today’s intel 1 (Green): Old Zhao discovered a ginseng king over a thousand years old deep in Changbai Mountain yesterday, yet to be harvested]

Thousand-year-old ginseng!

Qi Yun’s eyes lit up, he was practically drooling at the mouth.

This treasure, only heard of in movies, actually exists!

In legends, this thousand-year-old ginseng is supposed to have miraculous life-restoring effects... even able to change forms, resembling a small baby...

But these are just legends, can’t be fully trusted.

But something that can survive for over a thousand years certainly isn’t ordinary, perhaps its value might exceed that An Gong Bezoar pill from the Republic of China period!

This must be acquired!

[Today’s intel 2 (Red): Due to a continuous decrease in orders, Nanhua Textile Factory is now in dire straits, Manager Sun is scouring for funds to pay employees]

Nanhua Textile Factory...

Seeing this name again, Qi Yun’s memory was pulled back to the time when he was running stalls selling fried rice outside.

His first real business transaction was helping Wei Yong sell off a batch of unsold apples to the textile factory, all thanks to Manager Sun, who not only didn’t take advantage but paid promptly.

Later, when the factory needed to purchase uniforms, Manager Sun also made the connection, giving the order to Brother Peng.

Qi Yun always remembered the favor.

"Couldn’t believe such a big factory could just fail..."

Qi Yun sighed, picked up his phone and messaged Manager Sun, arranging to meet the next day, then continued checking the next piece of intel.

[Today’s intel 3 (Red): Half an hour ago, a subordinate of Brother Biao appeared at Sha District’s Red Romance Foot Massage]

Qi Yun squinted slightly, immediately went downstairs, and got into the passenger seat of a BMW 5 Series.

Chen Wei asked curiously, "Going out?"

Qi Yun shook his head, "Not going out, call An Zai and the others, go to Sha District’s Red Romance Foot Massage, one of Brother Biao’s men showed up there, bring that guy back."

Chen Wei immediately responded, "Okay, I’ll arrange it."

At dawn, before the sun rose,

Qi Yun got out of bed early, went to the study, and called Tiger, who accompanied him into the mountains last time.

To be precise, he hadn’t slept well the night before, thinking about that thousand-year-old ginseng, finally enduring until morning, estimating it should be dawn in the Northeast, he couldn’t wait to contact Tiger.

Couldn’t help it, Old Zhao lives in the mountains without signal, impossible to contact him.

"Hello, Brother Qi, how are you lately? What made you think of calling me?" Tiger was very enthusiastic, his voice cheerful upon receiving Qi Yun’s call.

"Heh, I’m good, how about you?" Qi Yun also chuckled and asked.

"I’m doing alright, just making a living, definitely can’t compare to you guys."

After some small talk, Qi Yun got to the point, "Tiger, do you have time these days? I have a friend heading to Fusong County today, I’d like to ask you to take him into the mountains to find Old Zhao."

"Going to find Old Zhao?" Tiger was dumbfounded, after a few seconds of silence, he didn’t ask for specific reasons and directly agreed, "Alright, let your friend come to me directly, I’ll take him into the mountains early tomorrow."

"Okay, I’ll give him your contact, have him reach out when he gets there."

"No problem."

"Mm, thanks, Tiger." Qi Yun sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Tiger has his own business, helping out definitely delays his work, so Qi Yun plans to give him several thousand later.

"No need to thank me, let’s have a good drink next time you come over." Tiger replied very generously.

"Alright, sometime when I’m free, I’ll come with Old Cao to see you."
