Chapter 36 Grand Opening Celebration is Imminent!
After refining the pills this time, Chen Xuan was not as tired as yesterday, mainly because the pills sold well, which acted like a shot of adrenaline for him.
However, he still needed to rest more. Even though Chen Xuan was physically strong, he couldn't withstand such constant exertion.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's mind was preoccupied with another spiritual herb.
Sun Changshan had mentioned that the family possessing the Vine Snake Grass also had a thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain. He would find a way to acquire that ginseng as well.
At nine o'clock in the morning.
The mobile phone suddenly vibrated, and Chen Xuan immediately jumped out of bed.
He checked his phone.
It was Black Tiger's call.
A smirk spread across Chen Xuan's lips.
This fellow had made a fortune yesterday.
He hadn't gone to find Black Tiger, but this guy had come to him on his own!
This was just perfect!
He answered the call, and Black Tiger eagerly said, "Mr. Chen, do you still have those pills?"
Chen Xuan replied calmly, "Of course."
Black Tiger was overjoyed to hear this. "Mr. Chen, I'm outside your villa. Could you please open the door? I have something important to tell you."
Chen Xuan remembered Aunt Tang and Song Ping, and refused Black Tiger's request to enter. He said, "You can wait for me a little further away from my villa. I'll come to you."
"Ah? Is it inconvenient?" Black Tiger blurted out.
"It's not that. I'm afraid my family might think I'm associating with unsavory characters and worry about me," Chen Xuan said truthfully.
Black Tiger's face immediately turned awkward. He was a prominent figure in Jiangzhou, yet Chen Xuan referred to him as an unsavory character. However, he didn't dare to retort.
After hanging up, Chen Xuan informed Aunt Song and walked straight out of the villa.
From a distance, he saw Black Tiger leaning against a brand-new Audi A8, smoking a cigarette.
Before Chen Xuan could approach, Black Tiger quickly flicked his cigarette butt onto the ground and walked towards him with a smile.
"Mr. Chen!"
Chen Xuan arrived and nodded casually, deliberately asking, "What is it you wanted to tell me?"
Black Tiger glanced at the Audi A8 beside him and said sheepishly, "Mr. Chen, I heard your car was in an accident, so I brought you a car. It's the top-of-the-line Audi A8, with all-wheel drive, costing over three million. Please accept it for your use."
Chen Xuan looked at the Audi A8 before him; he quite liked the car.
Black Tiger, having profited greatly last night, spoke as a matter of course, "Then I'll accept it. Do you have anything else?"
Seeing that Chen Xuan accepted the Audi, Black Tiger breathed a sigh of relief and then said eagerly, "Mr. Chen, how many pills do you have left? I'll take them all at five million per pill!"
"Five million?"
Looking at Black Tiger's greedy eyes, Chen Xuan's expression immediately turned cold, and he sneered, "Black Tiger, you want to buy pills worth over ten million for five million. Do you think I'm a fool with too much money?"
"Ah?"
Black Tiger was stunned and his mouth fell open in shock, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
He cautiously glanced at Chen Xuan and immediately flattered him, "Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to be so prescient, knowing about the auction."
Chen Xuan remained silent.
Black Tiger stared at Chen Xuan for a few seconds, then suddenly slapped his forehead in annoyance, "So it was you who bought the Vine Snake Grass at the auction! I'm truly dull-witted; I didn't recognize your voice from the private room."
Black Tiger quickly begged for forgiveness, "Mr. Chen, I was wrong, I was wrong. I'll never lie to you again."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Chen Xuan snorted and continued, "How about this: from now on, you'll sell all future pills. One million each, and you'll get a two million commission per pill. What do you say?"
Black Tiger looked troubled.
Chen Xuan frowned, "Do you have an objection?"
Black Tiger said, "It's not that, Mr. Chen. I mean your pricing is too low."
"Too low?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Xuan's face.
That was the auction price, and there were fees to the auction house. If sold directly, the price would likely be lower than the auction price.
Ten million seemed like a fair price to him, yet Black Tiger said it was too low.
Black Tiger rubbed his hands and chuckled, "This morning, I received a call. Someone wants to buy our pills for fifteen million through the auction."
Chen Xuan was taken aback.
He hadn't expected there to be such foolishly rich people.
He coughed twice and said, "From now on, all pills will be split two-eight. As for the price, you can set it yourself according to market conditions."
Black Tiger's face lit up, and he cupped his fists in a bow, "Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Afterward, Chen Xuan gave Black Tiger thirty-five pills, keeping a small portion for himself.
Chen Xuan instructed, "You can sell the pills, but remember not to reveal my identity."
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I'll definitely remember such things."
Black Tiger eagerly took the pills.
Then, he made a phone call, and a subordinate drove a car to stop by the roadside. Black Tiger got into the car and drove away.
Chen Xuan returned to his room and took out his phone, intending to call Sun Changshan to see if he could persuade that family to sell him the fourth spiritual herb.
Unexpectedly, the head of the Sun family called him instead.
Chen Xuan immediately answered the phone and asked first, "Patriarch Sun, is there something?"
Sun Changshan whispered, "Mr. Chen, it's like this, I have something to trouble you with."
"Please speak."
Sun Changshan said busily, "It's like this, the main family that owns the Vine Snake Grass is having some feng shui troubles, and they want to invite Mr. Chen to take a look."
Chen Xuan asked deliberately, "Why don't they invite Master Bai?"
Sun Changshan chuckled awkwardly, "Master Bai had an urgent matter and went to the provincial capital a few days ago. I don't know what he's doing there, but he won't be back for at least two more days. However, the matter is urgent, so we want to invite Mr. Chen to go. As for the reward, we can discuss it. The main family is not short of money."
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Tell the main family that I can go, but as for the reward, I want no gold or silver. I only want the spiritual herb I need as the reward."
Hearing Chen Xuan agree, Sun Changshan immediately said, "Mr. Chen, I'll go and inquire about the spiritual herb for you now."
Soon, Chen Xuan received a call from Sun Changshan.
The main family agreed!
"Mr. Chen, please tell me your address, and tomorrow I'll have the main family send a car to pick you up," Sun Changshan said, being very knowledgeable.
Feng shui masters also value face, especially when going out to examine feng shui. Usually, the host family provides transportation.
If the feng shui master is too proactive, it can easily lead to them being underestimated. Therefore, Chen Xuan did not drive himself but let the main family send someone to pick him up.
Thus, Chen Xuan told Sun Changshan his address.
After hanging up, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Now, the fourth spiritual herb also had a lead!
Chen Xuan turned back into the villa. His mother, Song Ping, was still quite lucid.
Chen Xuan sat beside her and chatted with his mother, Song Ping.
Looking at his mother Song Ping's smile, Chen Xuan felt that everything he had done was worthwhile.
At noon, they ate handmade noodles made by Aunt Tang. Chen Xuan ate a full large bowl. He took a nap in the afternoon but unexpectedly slept until dark.
It wasn't surprising, as he had been extremely tired these past few days.
At this moment, Chen Xuan opened his eyes, looked at the time, and immediately jumped out of bed.
He almost messed things up!
Tonight was the grand opening celebration of Medical God Pharmaceutical Company, and he had promised Su Yunxi that he would attend the banquet.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late.
Chen Xuan quickly got out of bed and went to wash up.
After washing up, Chen Xuan changed into clean and neat clothes.
As soon as Chen Xuan finished changing, the timing was just right. He informed Aunt Tang and then walked out of the house.
Just as he was about to drive his Audi, a red convertible Ferrari slowly pulled up beside him.
