Chapter 267 Roll them all up Originally, many villagers were skeptical about this matter. After all, it sounds outrageous that the price of something has increased from a dozen yuan per pound to two thousand yuan per pound! What's more, except Zheng Dayou himself, no one has ever seen the boss who paid for the acquisition. Many villagers had this thought: Could it be that Zheng Dayou was playing a trick on them? But Zheng Dayou shouldn't be so bored, so although many people are looking for stones, they are not too serious, just looking for something to do, what if? What if it is true? Who knew it was actually true! One thousand six hundred yuan! Daily income of one thousand six hundred yuan! Isn’t this more profitable than anything else? At this moment, discussions broke out all around. "Wow, Uncle Wu is so lucky! He found so many!"

"It's comfortable. Shouldn't I buy two pounds of spare ribs as a snack today?" "Ahhh, I just found a small piece of stone, probably only two taels." "I have five taels, haha! Although not as good as Uncle Wu, it's pretty good too. I got one thousand!" "Damn it! I'm going to get up early and go to the river tomorrow!" "I'll be up at five!" "Five o'clock? I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm going to search by the river all night long!" The villagers were very excited. Following the old man, they rushed to Cheng Ming, wanting to exchange the stones in their hands for money. Even Cheng Ming was almost squeezed out. "Everyone, don't rush! Everyone, don't rush! Take your time! Everyone is indispensable." Zheng Dayou spontaneously helped Cheng Ming maintain order, acting like a good assistant to the boss. He had two large stones in his hand, which looked to weigh at least seven or eight taels, but he was not in a hurry to exchange them for money with Cheng Ming. Because of his previous experience, he knew that Cheng Ming needed this kind of stone and would not "run away", so he would definitely trade with everyone. Although he didn't know why Cheng Ming needed this kind of stone, he was even willing to pay so much more to buy it. But what the heck. As long as it can be sold for money, that's enough. With the help of Zheng Dayou, the chaotic villagers finally restored order, began to line up, and came to Cheng Ming one after another to trade. "Your three taels, a total of six hundred, I'll transfer it to you." "Four ounces, eight hundred dollars."

"Your six taels, one thousand and two." "Your one ounce is not enough, so I'll give you two hundred yuan." After a while, dozens of villagers finally completed the transaction. The last one is Zheng Dayou. Cheng Ming weighed his stone and it also weighed eight taels. "Brother, you are lucky." Cheng Ming said. "It's okay, it's okay." Zheng Dayou said happily. He smiled even more happily when he heard the sound of money arriving. Cheng Ming took a look at the pile of rubble in front of him and was a little disappointed. He originally thought that with so many people helping to look for it, they should be able to find a lot, but the reality was that there were dozens of villagers, but in the end they only found about 11 or 12 kilograms. In this case, he doesn’t know how many days it will take to complete the task. Oh, never mind, let’s wait and see. In this way, Cheng Mingxian returned to the hotel in Wu Shi Town. The next afternoon, at about the same time, Cheng Ming came to Shanhe Village again. The villagers today were more conscious than yesterday and lined up automatically. The purchase was completed quickly. But to Cheng Ming's disappointment, the stones he received today weighed only seven or eight kilograms, even less than yesterday. There seemed to be a few more people looking for stones today. But there are fewer stones than yesterday. "Everyone searched the river bank yesterday. There will definitely be fewer if we search again today. Some people even searched ten kilometers away, but the results were not very good," said Zheng Dayou. Cheng Ming nodded. But I am a little worried. If I continue like this, every day I gain less than the day before, how can I complete the task? Thinking of this, Cheng Ming felt that he had to think of another solution. He suddenly remembered that Zheng Dayou had said before that there were buyers who came here to buy stones in the past few years. So if he went to buy them from the buyers, he should be able to complete the task, right? The task requires you to find 100 kilograms of Fire Cloud Stone. There shouldn't be any difference whether you find it by the river or buy it from a buyer, right? No matter what, I have to give it a try. Thinking of this, Cheng Ming asked Zheng Dayou: "Brother Zheng, you said before that there were buyers coming here to buy this kind of stone a few years ago?" "Yeah." Zheng Da nodded. "Do you remember where the buyer is from?" Zheng Dayou asked: "Boss Cheng, do you want to buy the stones directly from the buyers?"

"Yes." Cheng Ming said. Zheng Dayou immediately went to ask a few people in the village, and then came back to tell Cheng Ming. "I didn't go looking for the stone back then, and I don't know who it was. I only know that it was a buyer from Tengcheng. I heard from my brothers in the village that it seemed to be the owner of a collectibles store. I don't think anyone knows his last name or first name." The owner of Fuji City Collectibles? The scope of this information is not very large. If you really want to find it, just look for it one by one. Anyway, Fuji City is just a small city, so there shouldn't be many stores like collectibles stores, right? Now I just hope this collection doesn’t go bankrupt. "Okay, thank the villagers for me." Cheng Ming said and was about to leave. "Hey! Boss Cheng!" Zheng Dayou called him. "What's wrong?" Cheng Ming turned around. "That is, if you receive the stones from the buyer, will you still accept our stones?" Zheng Dayou looked a little worried. Cheng understood clearly. It seems that this guy is afraid that after he receives a large amount of stones, he will no longer accept stones from the villagers. In this way, the villagers will lose a good source of income? "Don't worry, brother. I will still collect the stones found by the villagers as usual, and the price will not change." Cheng Ming said. No matter what, it is still a special medicinal material. Moreover, it seems to be a non-recyclable thing. Once you use one, it is one less. So the more you have on hand, the better, even if you don't use it for the time being. What if it comes in handy in the future? "That's good." Zheng Dayou seemed relieved. "By the way, I'm not from Tengcheng, so I may not be here at that time. You can ask the villagers to gather the stones in one person's hands and then mail them to Haicheng, or deliver them to me in Haicheng. I will reimburse your travel expenses." Cheng Ming ordered. "Okay!" Zheng Dayou agreed. He took the task without hesitation. "I'll be responsible for delivering it when the time comes." After arranging everything here, Cheng Ming checked out of the hotel and drove to Tengcheng. While turning on Changde Navigation, he said, "You cheated me in the village, but you won't do that in the city, right?" Search for "Collectibles Store" and a total of nine target points will appear on the map. Fortunately, there are not many, only nine, and you can see them all in one day. At this time Cheng Ming was hungry. But there happened to be a collectibles store nearby, so Cheng Ming didn't eat and drove straight to the store. Arrive at the destination. In front of Cheng Ming was a street shop. The shop was decorated in modern style with a large floor-to-ceiling window, but there were many ancient objects placed on the counter inside. The collision of the two styles created a strange spark. (End of this chapter)
