Chapter 253: Preparing to Expand the Warehouse

Zhou Yuchuan wanted to buy Old Mountain Ginseng, but Bai Wei did not know the price of mountain ginseng.

Therefore, the two went to the city together and found Tianbao Auction House.

"Oh my, two honored guests, I apologize for not welcoming you sooner." Director Wu was all smiles, waiting personally at the entrance, and stepped forward as soon as he saw them.

Ever since Bai Wei went to Yanjing to attend the Antique Exhibition, it had caused quite a stir in the domestic antique circle.

Director Wu was even more respectful toward her, fearing that this goddess of wealth might be poached by someone else.

"Director Wu, Professor Zhou and I have come today to ask for your help with an appraisal." Bai Wei took out the mountain ginseng. "I don't know how much this mountain ginseng is worth."

Upon seeing the mountain ginseng, Director Wu's expression immediately turned solemn.

"Hiss, this mountain ginseng must have been growing for over a hundred years."

"The color is purple; in the circle, this kind of ginseng is called 'Purple Qi Comes from the East' and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life."

"Although 'bringing the dead back to life' is an exaggeration, it can definitely save a life."

Director Wu dared not be negligent and immediately made a phone call to summon three experienced appraisers, who gathered around to appraise the ginseng.

"My goodness, this purple-skinned mountain ginseng is a rare treasure."

"It weighs over seven taels; wild mountain ginseng that can grow this large is almost non-existent on the market."

"And its shape is already starting to look like a human figure. It is even larger than the Ginseng King sold at last year's medicinal herb auction, and that Ginseng King sold for 18 million at the time."

Several old appraisers gathered around the mountain ginseng, clicking their tongues in constant admiration.

Soon, the price was appraised.

"Bai, this mountain ginseng is worth at least 30 million." After Director Wu finished speaking, he rubbed his hands together with a sheepish smile. "If you intend to sell it, I would like to buy it personally to keep at home as a backup medicine to save my life in the future."

Bai Wei smiled. "I'm sorry, Director Wu, I have already prepared to sell this mountain ginseng to Professor Zhou."

"Is that so?" Director Wu looked disappointed, but immediately spoke again, "Then... next time you manage to get such good ginseng, could you give me priority? To be honest, I have too many social engagements and have long since damaged my health. Now that my body is in such poor condition, I just want to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng to nourish my Qi and prolong my life."

"I can do that." Bai Wei readily agreed.

Anyway, she would still go to Daliang in the future, and when the time came, she would ask Xiao Moting if he could buy more mountain ginseng like this.

Bai Wei took the mountain ginseng out of the box and handed it to Zhou Yuchuan.

"Here, take it back, slice it up, and boil it into medicine to take."

"Later, I will write you a prescription for nourishing Qi and blood and send it to your WeChat."

Zhou Yuchuan took the mountain ginseng, his expression moved.

"Bai Wei, thank you."

Seeing Bai Wei take the mountain ginseng out, Director Wu couldn't help but lean in. "Bai, Professor Zhou only wants the ginseng. I see that the box you used to hold the ginseng is probably useless now, right? Could you sell the box to me?"

Once he said that, Bai Wei remembered that the box holding the mountain ginseng was made by Jia Shun using Ebony.

"You want to buy the box?"

"Yes." Director Wu examined the box and nodded repeatedly. "If I'm not mistaken, the material of this box is ten-thousand-year-old Ebony, and the carving is exquisite; it should be an antique from the Daliang Dynasty."

"You really have a sharp eye." Bai Wei smiled. "Then how much do you intend to pay for this box?"

Seeing that Bai Wei was truly willing to sell, Director Wu was overjoyed and spoke quickly.

"Please wait a moment, Bai. I need to evaluate and appraise it again with a few appraisers."

Now that Bai Wei had made a name for herself in the antique circle, he dared not engage in any deception.

Bai Wei had traded with Director Wu several times and had a certain level of trust in him, so she went to the lounge nearby to wait.

After getting the mountain ginseng, Zhou Yuchuan also went back to boil the medicine.

Just as Bai Wei was waiting, she received a call from Manager Liu of the Trade Company.

"President Bai, the people interviewing this afternoon will come to Qingshan Village to see you. Are you at home?"

Bai Wei checked the time. "I am. Let them come over."

With the Vegetable Base built, she was also in a hurry to recruit people to plant vegetables.

Just after finishing the call, Director Wu walked in with a beaming smile.

"Bai, after our discussion, this Ebony box is truly precious."

"There aren't many medicine boxes made of ten-thousand-year-old Ebony from ancient times, and its carvings are very exquisite; it should be an item that came out of the imperial palace."

"So, do you think a price of 20 million is acceptable?"

Bai Wei thought for a moment and answered readily, "That's fine."

Anyway, she still had a large piece of Ebony in her Warehouse.

"Good, good. I will transfer the money to you now." Director Wu was so happy he couldn't close his mouth and hurriedly asked his manager to pay Bai Wei.

After selling the Ebony box, Bai Wei took out her phone again.

"Director Wu, since you want to collect Ebony, take a look at how much this is worth."

"This is..." Director Wu glanced at her phone, so shocked his eyeballs almost popped out. "This, isn't this Ebony? Such a large piece of Ebony, you actually collected this?"

"Yes." Bai Wei smiled. "If I intend to sell it, will you buy it?"

"You, you want to sell?" Director Wu was so excited his face turned red, and he nodded repeatedly. "I will buy it, of course I will."

Such a large, complete piece of Ebony was simply a giant block of gold.

No!

Its value was even more precious than gold.

This entire piece of Ebony was stored in the Farm Warehouse, and Bai Wei couldn't bring it over immediately, so she made an appointment with Director Wu to bring people over in the evening to appraise it.

Bai Wei walked out of the auction house.

She glanced at her phone; the 30 million for the ginseng Zhou Yuchuan bought, and the 20 million from Director Wu for the box, had already been transferred.

Jia Shun probably never dreamed that the ginseng he took out would sell for so much money, including the box.

She wondered how much that large piece of Ebony would sell for.

Bai Wei hurried back to Qingshan Village from the city, waiting for the people coming for the interview.

Returning to Qingshan Village, she still had some time, so Bai Wei went to take a turn around the Warehouse.

The Farm's Warehouse was eight hundred square meters, usually used to store the vegetables delivered by the villagers; once a certain quantity was stored, they would be sent over to Daliang.

In the past, Bai Wei hadn't considered so much, only planning to build a Warehouse to store vegetables.

But looking at it now, the eight-hundred-square-meter Warehouse was already not enough.

Especially since she now had a new ability, she could take things from the Warehouse through the wardrobe.

Therefore, the capacity of the Warehouse was too small.

"It seems this Warehouse needs to be expanded." Bai Wei made up her mind and called the construction company that had built the Warehouse before, "Boss, I want to expand the Warehouse. When you have time, bring a designer over so we can discuss how to build it and get an estimate."

After finishing the call, the people for the interview had also arrived.

Bai Wei only had time to take a sip of water before hurrying to the Farm.

Several men and women were waiting outside the gate, and seeing her approach, they hurriedly greeted her politely.

"General Manager Bai."

Bai Wei nodded and let Chen Ming open the Farm gate.

"Everyone, come in."

She examined them and discovered that among these few people, there was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, with the temperament of a science and engineering guy.
