The Luxury of Discount King

Chapter 5 Centennial Ginseng

He fixed his eyes on Discount King. Suddenly, an idea popped out in his mind. At first, he thought he

should just buy those valuable things with great discount on the app and sell them out. But it would be

a better idea if he could perfectly meet other's need for specific stuff. And then he could just deliver the

goods for the customer. That should be a better way to earn more.

Soon, he logged in the City Net for this city, where he could see both selling and purchase messages in

this city.

The website was obviously a chaotic one overwhelmed with all kinds of messages from pets purchase

needs to booty call. But that was not what he needed. He filtered the messages for purchase only and

ranked them from high price to low price. Then he could clearly browse those with the highest award.

Suddenly, he noticed the one with highest award with 9999999 yuan, which reached the maximum

price of award of the website.

Conrad was stunned and he immediately clicked to see its details.

It was a purchase message for a kind of rare medicinal materials, Centennial Ginseng.

'Purchase need for a Centennial Ginseng to cure urgent disease! Please contact us if you are

available! Price Negotiable'

"Centennial Ginseng?" It was rare for Conrad to see such a message. Commonly speaking, people

tended to cure disease in the hospital nowadays. He could only meet the words of 'Centennial Ginseng'

in those fantasy fictions.

But he was also quite aware that some of those veteran doctors of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine)

would prescribe medication containing Centennial Ginseng. Besides, Centennial Ginseng was a

traditional medication in the Ancient China.

Down below the message, there was a number for a lady named Ms. Austin, the tail of which was a

nice one—6888. Conrad could tell the buyer must be a rich one.

Conrad was thrilled by this big deal. He started to browse and search for the Centennial Ginseng on

the Discount King app.

As expected, he saw one with nice gift-wrapping packet.

Natural Ginseng From Changbai Mountain, Age: 150+ years, Intact, Original Price: 15,000,000,

Discounted Price: 1.8!

There was only simple information about the ginseng with pictures. Commonly speaking, those natural

ginsengs were slenderly-well-shaped with well-developed and twisted roots. A natural ginseng turned

to be much more valuable when compared to those artificially-planted ones.

Conrad still couldn't believe his eyes when seeing the original price. He rubbed against his eyes to

make sure he didn't see the wrong number—it was indeed 15,000,000 yuan!

"A ginseng cost that much?!" As a layman, Conrad was totally stunned. He searched the market price

of a Centennial Ginseng. Such a natural treasure had been rarer and rarer as the environment was

highly damaged from day to day. The latest deal was concluded last year with the price of more than

11,000,000. And that Centennial Ginseng weighed 103 grams and aged 120 years. It was much more

valuable than gold. So this one aging more than 150 years was obviously worth 15,000,000.

"Awesome! That's it!"

Conrad finally figured out the best way to earn money. He clicked on the 'Buy' button and soon a

delicate wooden box appeared in his hands, where there lay the ginseng. He could clearly see it

through the transparent lid.

Since he had got it, he then called the buyer.

"Hello, I just notice from the City Net that you need a Centennial Ginseng. And I happen to have one."

Conrad said as soon as the line was connected.

"Okay, where is the ginseng? I need it urgently! If you are from another city, I can send a plane to pick

you up!" Ms. Austin said.

Her voice was cold but sounded quite appealing. Conrad could also tell that she should be just in her

twenties.

"I am in BH City right now! You can tell me the address and I can deliver it for you." Conrad said.

"Okay, come to the Austin International Building at Center Road. Tell the security guards your purpose

and he will lead you to see me. But I have to inspect the ginseng on spot!" Ms. Austin said.

"Austin International?!" After hanging up the phone, Conrad seemed to be quite surprised. The Austin

International was the most well-known enterprise in this city. And it was also well-known around the

globe with its widely expanded portfolio. The head office was located at the Austin International with

sole proprietorship, and the chairman of which was Powell Austin. Thus, this lady named Ms. Austin

might be one of his family members.

Conrad was sure that it must be a rich buyer since she was from the Austin family. He then drove his

Lamborghini there.

He got off and was about to enter the building. But he was stopped by the guard. Only those with

appointments beforehand were allowed to enter. If it were trading partners, they would be only received

by manager from the trading department. Personal visit would never be allowed.

"I am here to meet Ms. Austin and trade my ginseng." Conrad stated his purpose.

"Sir, Ms. Austin is expecting you now! This way, please!"

A refined front desk lady came towards Conrad and led him to take elevator to reach 33th floor.

Meanwhile, Conrad had got the information about Ms. Austin from this front desk lady. Ms. Austin was

actually the daughter of Powell Austin. She, Jennifer Austin, was now inducted into the CEO of Austin © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

International.

Jennifer was entitled as the beauty-second-to-noon in this city. She was also a capable one, who

always showed up on news broadcasted on TV. She was beautiful, deadly attractive and commercial-

talented. She had a lot of fans on the Internet. Conrad was also quite excited to meet her today.

Conrad went all the way through to the office. After knocking the door, Jennifer said, "Come in."

As Conrad walked in, he noticed a long-hair lady with grey office lady suit writing something on the

desk. She also raised his head to see Conrad. Both of them paused when seeing each other.
