"I'll just give you a number, and don't haggle with me. If it doesn't meet your expectations, you can leave the item with me, and I'll find someone willing to pay a higher price. I'll just take a handling fee in between."
If Chen Zao listened carefully, he would definitely hear that Ma Fulong was determined to acquire this Stone Carving.
Once this Stone Carving was repaired, he could sell it to Big Crab, and the profit would be in the millions.
Such an enticing and profitable piece of meat, how could Ma Fulong possibly let it slip away?
However, Chen Zao was thinking about grander ambitions and a more brutal future, having no interest in playing mind games with Ma Fulong.
He directly said, "Please go ahead, we are listening."
Ma Fulong closed his eyes, seemingly reassessing his offer.
Jindeli was extremely nervous, feeling like his chubby belly was about to cramp. He closely watched the subtle changes in expression on Ma Fulong's scarred face, fearing that this Dragon Lord would offer them an absurdly low price; if that happened, their efforts would be in vain.
Chen Zao was also somewhat anxious; after all, it was his first time dealing with such a large transaction, and he felt quite uncertain.
He hoped Ma Fulong would quote a price in the hundreds of thousands, providing him with the first pot of gold to promote the Salvation Project. If that happened, it would be a great help to him and humanity as a whole.
After deliberately keeping his eyes closed for about half a minute, Ma Fulong slowly opened them.
He extended one hand and showed them the number "five."
Jindeli's round face twisted as if he had eaten something bitter. "Only five hundred thousand?"
Ma Fulong corrected him: "It's five hundred..." To avoid any misunderstanding from Jindeli, he added another word from behind: "thousand."
—Boom!
It felt like being hit by a shockwave; Jindeli leaned back as if he were about to be knocked over by this astonishing figure!
Five... five hundred thousand!
The grand prize of a lottery ticket is nothing compared to this!
He never even dreamed of having so much money!
Selling a single Stone Carving for five million is just too much!
Brother Zao, hurry up and agree!
You must not fall into that intermittent lapse of judgment again!
Jindeli eagerly transmitted his thoughts to Chen Zao, hoping he would finalize the deal immediately.
Upon hearing Ma Fulong mention five million, Chen Zao was also pleasantly surprised.
However, at the same time, a reasonable greed began to stir within him—
Given the poor condition of this Stone Carving, if Ma Fulong could offer five thousand, wouldn’t it be possible to sell it for ten to twenty million after restoration? Perhaps even more!
Should he wait a little longer?
On the surface, maintaining a stoic expression and appearing dissatisfied with the offer, Chen Zao was internally caught in a struggle of happiness.
Seeing Chen Zao's silence, Ma Fulong asked, "What’s wrong? Are you not satisfied?"
Chen Zao took a sip of tea and replied, "Please allow me to think it over."
Jindeli was almost in tears, wanting to kick Chen Zao's leg from under the tea table.
What else is there to think about!
"This is five million! Not five hundred!"
"How much gold do we need to sell to earn this back!"
"Hurry up and take the money, Brother Zao!"
"Don't let Dragon Lord change his mind later!"
Jindeli was so anxious that he felt like his insides were about to explode, as if there was a fire under him, making it hard for him to sit still.
Zhao watched the contrasting behaviors of the two—one panicking and the other calm—and found it amusing.
She hadn't expected Ma Fulong to offer such a high purchase price to these two country bumpkins.
Even more surprising was that this Black Giant named Chen Zao was actually contemplating the five million offer! He was so composed!
Who exactly is this guy?
Isn't he just a country bumpkin tomb raider?
Zhao's curiosity about Chen Zao's identity grew stronger.
Ma Fulong couldn't hold back Chen Zao, but instead, he was held back by Chen Zao.
Seeing that Chen Zao was slow to respond, Ma Fulong took the initiative to raise the price: "How about this? I'll consider you my friends. Since you seem to be in urgent need of money, I'll give you a better offer—this amount, if you think it's acceptable, leave the items with me. If not, then you'll have to find another way to sell them."
Ma Fulong made a gesture for "eight," raising the price by three million, bringing it directly to eight million!
Zhao was shocked by what she saw from behind; her tongue almost slipped out!
Chen Zao decisively made the deal: "Alright! Dragon Lord, I’ll take your friend! Eight million it is! The items are yours!"
Jindeli was astonished.
How could a damaged Stone Carving sell for eight million!
He never dared to dream that something like this would happen to them!
Is this… really happening?
Am I not dreaming?
Jindeli incredulously pinched Chen Zao's thigh under the table.
“Ouch, what are you pinching me for?”
Chen Zao turned and glared at Jindeli, thinking that Jindeli was unhappy with the low price and reluctant to buy.
Unexpectedly, Jindeli chuckled and said, “Wrong pinch, wrong pinch, heh heh.”
Zhao, watching from behind, couldn't help but chuckle softly.
“In the future, if you have any good items, bring them to me for sale. I will definitely give you a fair price.” Ma Fulong had a feeling that Chen Zao would bring him even more interesting things in the future.
“Definitely!”
The shock of the eight million also made Chen Zao feel ecstatic.
His right hand, still wrapped in bandages but nearly healed, was secretly clenched into a fist to release his indescribable excitement and joy.
With this eight million, he could finally set the stage for salvation!
Previously, he only wanted to find a fake drug factory to produce a batch of counterfeit medicine.
Now that he has so much money, why would he still look for ways to make fake medicine? He could simply acquire a production line and build his own fake Fish Oil and Health Supplements factory!
That noon, after receiving 80,000 in cash transferred in batches from Ma Fulong to Jindeli's account, Chen Zao and Jindeli celebrated by indulging in an extravagant buffet costing 88 per person, to celebrate their newfound status as millionaires!
During the meal, Chen Zao repeatedly reminded Jindeli not to tell their other siblings about how they had become so wealthy, to avoid stirring up trouble.
They should just let others think they made some money from the green food business.
The plan to build a medicine factory needed to be prioritized immediately.
In the coming days, Chen Zao instructed Jindeli not to do anything else but work with Zhuo Chugang to implement the establishment of the fake medicine factory.
Whether it was acquiring an existing fake medicine workshop or renting a factory space to set up a production line, they needed to quickly get this green Fish Oil and Health Supplements factory up and running.
As for renting a shop in a hot area of Chang'an to open a Meat Sandwich Shop or creating dark cuisine suitable for Fish Oil flavors, that could wait until Chen Zao returned from the apocalypse next time.
Their urgent priority now was to establish the medicine factory to improve the health of children from impoverished families in the welfare home and surrounding mountainous areas who couldn't afford Health Supplements.
After giving instructions to Jindeli, Chen Zao discreetly took away some delicious food from the buffet restaurant and separated from Jindeli as he exited.
He told Jindeli to find Zhuo Chugang and involve him in the factory project. He himself headed west towards Old Mountain, continuing his quest for treasures!
