The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 480 - My Name Is Very Easy to Remember

“I'm here to sell something,” Su Ming said, smiling.

“What are you selling, Mr. Su? Come on, let's have a look,” Qian Rushan said, his interest piqued.

He thought to himself, “Mr. Su's items are surely extraordinary.”

Yet, Qian Rushan noticed Su Ming's hands were empty. He surmised that Su Ming intended to sell a small item, perhaps a tiny gourd pendant or something similar. Naturally, if the small item was of high quality, it would fetch a high price. Still, given its small size, it wouldn't be overly expensive. Qian Rushan was confident he could afford Mr. Su's trinket.

“They're in the car,” Su Ming said with a twinkle in his eye.

Qian Rushan was taken aback, then shuddered involuntarily. “Mr. Su, you don't happen to have a whole truckload to sell, do you?” He recalled the overwhelming crowd from that day and the memory of being trampled underfoot, which made him shudder again, the pain still fresh in his mind.

“No, I've just brought two chairs,” Su Ming replied, still smiling.

Qian Rushan had an epiphany. “Ah, two chairs! Mr. Su, may I see them?”

“Certainly,” Su Ming responded, pulling out his phone from his pocket. “I have a picture of them right here.”

Eagerly, Qian Rushan nodded and took Su Ming's phone with great reverence, examining the photo closely. He felt a surge of excitement, his blood racing to his brain.

”Is this the fabled Gloomy Wood?” he wondered.

In his haste, Qian Rushan shook his head so vigorously that Su Ming was startled. “Take it easy,” Su Ming thought. “You might just shake off all the fat from your face.”

Qian Rushan continued to tremble as he stared at Su Ming.

”What's gotten into Qian Rushan?” Su Ming pondered, blinking in bewilderment.

“Take your time, Boss Qian. There's no rush,” Su Ming said, smiling reassuringly.

“These chairs, they're made of Gloomy Wood, aren't they?” Qian Rushan asked, his eyes wide with anticipation.

“You really know your stuff, Boss Qian,” Su Ming complimented, his smile broadening.

Boss Qian was brimming with excitement. Despite the coolness of the late autumn air, he couldn't resist shedding his coat, his body drenched in sweat. His face flushed and his head seemed to emit steam as he locked eyes with Su Ming.

Startled, Su Ming stepped back, wondering, “What's happening?”

“Mr. Su, you're surely aware of the value of Agarwood; it's pricier than gold,” Boss Qian said. “A gram can cost thousands, even tens of thousands. Top Grade Agarwood fetches tens of thousands more.”

”But these two chairs are crafted from Gloomy Wood, which is far more valuable than Agarwood.”

“The price per gram could be in the hundreds of thousands.”

“Your chairs are certainly not inexpensive.”

Qian Rushan was particularly thrilled. He never imagined he'd encounter the fabled Gloomy Wood, let alone fashioned into two chairs. Had anyone else presented these chairs, he would have suspected a deception.

But this was Su Ming standing before him, and he trusted that Su Ming wouldn't deceive him. Mr. Su wouldn't present a counterfeit.

”Mr. Su, these chairs are too precious. I can't afford them,” Boss Qian admitted. “However, don't worry. I know a wealthy merchant who might be interested in purchasing them.”

Su Ming nodded. “I'd appreciate it if you could put me in touch with him.”

“Absolutely,” Boss Qian replied eagerly. “Mr. Su, if you have a moment, please feel free to relax upstairs.”

With a nod, Su Ming followed him up.

“Attend to Mr. Su,” Boss Qian instructed his staff. “Fetch the finest tea I bought yesterday from my office and turn up the air conditioning.”

After ensuring Su Ming was comfortable, he said with a smile, “Please, take a seat and wait here, Mr. Su. I'll just make a quick call.”

“Thank you,” Su Ming responded, smiling in return.

Rushing out, Qian Rushan fumbled with his phone, struggling to unlock it. After taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, he finally accessed the contact he needed.

“Boss Qian, what is it now? I've told you, the goods you offer are too mundane for my taste. They don't interest me.”

“I have to catch a flight back this afternoon.

“I still need to pack my things. I'll talk to you later.”

The moment the call connected, I was greeted with a voice that was both lazy and arrogant, tinged with a hint of impatience.

Qian Rushan spoke quickly, “Mr. Lyu, I've got two exceptional items this time. You really should come and see them.”

Lyu Jintao, clearly annoyed, responded, “Qian Rushan, are you trying to bluff me?”

“Please trust me, Mr. Lyu. I truly have two top-grade items,” Qian Rushan insisted.

Lyu Jintao was about to decline, but Qian Rushan cut in urgently, “Mr. Lyu, if you're not satisfied with the items this time, you can take any item from our store for free.”

Without a second thought, Lyu Jintao accepted the offer.

After all, he had nothing to lose and could potentially gain a treasure at no cost.

Truth be told, Lyu Jintao was skeptical about finding anything worthwhile in Qian Rushan's shop, except for the one treasure he coveted but which had not been sold to him despite lengthy discussions.

Yet today, Qian Rushan had made an unexpected promise.

Lyu Jintao intended to claim dissatisfaction with whatever curiosities Qian Rushan presented, just to walk away with that one coveted item from the shop.

“No problem. Boss Qian, I'm on my way to your shop now. But remember, I have a flight in four hours. It'll take me an hour to get to the airport, and another two hours for check-in, so I can only spare an hour at your shop. Boss Qian, please don't waste my time,” Lyu Jintao stated.

”Boss Lyu, rest assured, I wouldn't deceive you,” Qian Rushan replied hastily.

“Great. See you in ten minutes.”

With that, Lyu Jintao ended the call.

Qian Rushan approached Mr. Su, “Mr. Su, a gentleman will be arriving in ten minutes. He's a prominent figure from the port area and can come across as quite arrogant. If he says anything out of line, please don't take offense.”
