Chapter 1994 Shen Qiushan: Zhao Jun!
Zhao Jun called over Boss Yang and followed Wei Songbo and the others upstairs, with the Zhao family gang following closely behind.
Li Baoyu took a few steps, then suddenly felt something was wrong. He stopped and turned around to see Li Ruhai still standing there.
"What are you doing?" Li Baoyu walked up to Li Ruhai in two steps and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm not eating, brother, you guys eat," Li Ruhai said. "What if another boss leaves before we eat?"
After saying this, Li Ruhai looked around and, seeing that no one was around, whispered to Li Baoyu, "Shen Qiushan not only looked awful today, but he also made these people quite upset with him. Look at that Boss Yang just now, he came out all angry."
Li Ruhai is right; people like Zhang Yuejin and Song Da are easy to deal with.
But Boss Yang, Li Mingjun, and Tang Fuquan all came from afar in the south. After they arrived, the ginseng in the tree became a military water bottle—who wouldn't be angry?
Hearing Li Ruhai say this, Li Baoyu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed, patted Li Ruhai on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, you've really made something of yourself!"
After saying that, Li Baoyu turned and left.
After watching Li Baoyu leave, Li Ruhai found a shady spot to sit down, his gaze fixed on the parking area.
About five minutes later, Li Baoyu ran over carrying two large bowls, one containing rice and the other containing meat.
Li Ruhai looked up and smiled, only to see that Li Baoyu had a pair of chopsticks held horizontally in his mouth.
Li Baoyu, unable to speak with chopsticks in his mouth, bent down and placed the bowl on the large rock next to Li Ruhai, then took the chopsticks and stuffed them into Li Ruhai's hand.
That wasn't all; Li Baoyu then pulled out two bottles of orange soda from his left and right trouser pockets.
"Eat up," Li Baoyu said, then turned and ran off.
Li Ruhai watched Li Baoyu's departing figure, then turned back to stir the food in his bowl with his chopsticks and laughed, "My brother really favors me. This guy has nothing but meat, not a single vegetable."
Li Ruhai was having a picnic under the shade of a tree, while in the lobby on the first floor, there was still good wine and food, including Hongtashan liquor.
The Zhao family still ate heartily, but once they ran out of cigarettes and alcohol, they couldn't find anyone to ask for them back.
The Shen family gang members who acted as waiters yesterday have all left. Wei Songbo, at the table with the head waiter and the boss, repeatedly expressed his apologies on behalf of Wu Baoguo.
Zhao Jun didn't listen to what Wei Songbo said, and he didn't think Wu Baoguo had done anything wrong to him. Zhao Jun ate a few bites and then started chatting with Boss Yang, who wasn't used to Northeastern cuisine.
This Mr. Yang's name is Yang Xuewu. He is thirty-seven years old and lives in Shenzhen. He specializes in transporting wild ginseng to Southeast Asia.
Hearing this last sentence, Zhao Jun's eyes lit up. This was exactly the kind of person he had been looking for.
The two chatted from the restaurant all the way to the bungalow where the Zhao family had stayed the previous night.
Yang Xuewu had his eye on the Sanmiao Ginseng King from the Zhao family gang. He wanted to acquire all of the Sanmiao Ginseng Kings for 1.2 million, but Zhao Jun refused.
Yang Xuewu asked Zhao Jun how much money he wanted, and Zhao Jun raised his hand and gestured as if he were slapping someone.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xuewu frowned, stood up abruptly from the bench, and waved his hand, saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could it be five million?"
“Boss Yang,” Zhao Jun said with a smile, “this is the King of Ginseng, a ginseng that is two or three hundred years old. The King of Ginseng has all the effects that Chief Wu mentioned about the ginseng from the tree.”
After saying this, Zhao Jun paused slightly, then looked at Yang Xuewu and said, "If I had connections, I could take these three ginseng kings to Southeast Asia, and they would definitely fetch more than this price, right?"
"That's impossible." Yang Xuewu shook his head. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Two million! Sell it or leave it!"
Zhao Jun smiled and shook his head. Yang Xuewu told his men to "go" and then stepped towards the door.
But just before leaving the house, Yang Xuewu paused.
At that very moment, Zhao Jun spoke up: "Boss Yang."
Yang Xuewu stopped abruptly and looked back at Zhao Jun with anticipation in his eyes.
To Yang Xuewu's surprise, Zhao Jun waved his hand, and Zhang Yuanmin, who was standing to the side, took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Yang Xuewu.
Yang Xuewu was taken aback. When he looked at Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Boss Yang, there are photos in that envelope. I not only have these three ginseng kings, but also snake dragons, hundred-year-old ginseng, and eighty- or ninety-year-old ginseng."
After that, the day after tomorrow, which is the 15th. I'll hold another "King of Ginseng" meeting at the address on the envelope.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xuewu took the envelope and glanced at it. He saw that it read: Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce Branch Address: No. 191, Linnan Road, Shanhe County, Heilongjiang Province (behind the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, formerly the Supply and Marketing Cooperative Purchasing Station).
"Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce? Branch?" The words on it gave Yang Xuewu, a southerner, a sense of awe and wonder.
"Hehe." Zhao Jun chuckled and said, "If Boss Yang isn't in a hurry to leave, he can come and take a look later."
As Zhao Jun finished speaking, Zhang Yuanmin added, "There's a contact number on the back."
杨学武下意识将信封翻过,就见上面写着:山河林业局永安林场后勤组(找周建军)0467-783057、榆树乡西山屯(找赵军或王美兰)0467-783129、山河县供销社(让他们顺后窗户招唤一声)0467-782218。
Zhao Jun might not be able to return tomorrow, and Wang Meilan needs to go down the mountain to set up the venue, so Zhao Jun left these three phone numbers.
"Boss Zhao," Yang Xuewu glanced at the envelope, then said to Zhao Jun, "How about I give you another 100,000?"
Zhao Jun shook his head, smiled, pointed to the envelope in Yang Xuewu's hand, and said, "Boss Yang, you can come and take a look on the 15th. Maybe you won't even need that money then, and you can take these ginseng seedlings away."
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Yang Xuewu frowned slightly.
His mission in Northeast China was to acquire the ginseng from the tree. However, he failed to purchase it. Although three ginseng kings have emerged, Yang Xuewu only has so much money available for temporary use.
But Zhao Jun wanted far more than that. In this situation, Yang Xuewu needed to make a phone call back.
"Okay, I'll definitely go then." Since things had come to this, Yang Xuewu didn't say anything more, agreed, and led his men out.
Zhao Jun led Zhang Yuanmin to see Yang Xuewu out of the house, where they ran into Wu Baoguo, who had just returned from the hospital.
Upon seeing Wu Baoguo, Zhao Jun felt a little embarrassed, fearing that Shen Qiushan had said something to Wu Baoguo.
Upon seeing Zhao Jun and Yang Xuewu, Wu Baoguo clasped his hands in greeting from a distance and said, "Boss Yang, Chief Zhao, I'm so sorry for the poor hospitality."
Seeing Wu Baoguo, Yang Xuewu was still a little angry. He shook his hand and walked towards the parking area.
Zhao Jun and Wu Baoguo followed them all the way. When they saw Yang Xuewu off to his car, Wu Baoguo was saying nice things, but Yang Xuewu seemed not to hear them.
Watching Yang Xuewu's car drive away, Wu Baoguo sighed heavily. The big boss he had finally managed to contact had been ruined by Shen Qiushan.
But Wu Baoguo quickly composed himself and asked Zhao Jun, "Chief Zhao, have you had lunch yet?"
"I've eaten, Wu the foreman," Zhao Jun replied, then asked, "How's Shen the foreman?"
"Sigh!" Wu Baoguo sighed heavily again and said, "His injuries are quite serious, and the hospital has admitted him for observation."
"Ouch." Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun muttered to himself, "My dad beat Lao Niu again, my wife consulted a fortune teller again, and my second sister got beaten up by a classmate at school again..."
After thinking about a series of upsetting things, Zhao Jun managed to keep the corners of his mouth from turning up.
"Chief Zhao, have you finished eating?" Wu Baoguo asked again. Zhao Jun replied, "Yes, we've eaten. Chief Wu, we have some things to take care of at home, so we'll pack up and leave."
"Are you leaving already? Why don't you stay for a couple more days?" Wu Baoguo said, "Let me entertain you for a couple more days, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"It's nothing, Chief Wu, you're too kind," Zhao Jun said with a smile. "Let's keep in touch more often, and then..."
As Zhao Jun spoke, he gestured towards the building and said, "You don't need to worry about us. The bosses are still here. Go and take a look."
Upon hearing Zhao Jun's words, Wu Baoguo quickly clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Chief Zhao, I won't say anything more. Next time you come, see how I, Old Wu, will treat you."
Zhao Jun smiled and clasped his hands in response. Seeing Wu Baoguo leave in a hurry, Zhao Jun quickly turned around and said to Zhang Yuanmin, "Brother, quick! Pack your things, let's get out of here!"
……
Meanwhile, in a ward on the second floor of Fusong Red Cross Hospital.
Shen Qiushan lay on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in bandages and an IV drip in his hand.
Shen Qiushan had already woken up and was staring blankly at the shed.
On the bench next to him, Wu Liye, the son of Wu Baoguo's uncle's brother, was sitting there listlessly.
Looking at Shen Qiushan lying on the hospital bed, Wu Liye curled his lip and showed a look of disdain on his face.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Liye patted his pockets and realized he had forgotten to bring cigarettes, so he got up and left the ward.
Lying on the bed, Shen Qiushan paid no attention to Wu Liye in the room.
At this moment, Shen Qiushan's mind was replaying the scenes from today's Ginseng King Conference like a revolving lantern.
Suddenly, an image of someone with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a wicked grin appeared in Shen Qiushan's mind.
"Zhao Jun! Zhao Jun..." Shen Qiushan sat up abruptly, his eyes wide, muttering Zhao Jun's name.
Although Shen Qiushan couldn't figure out the reason, he realized that the only person who had the opportunity to stuff military water bottles into that tree was Zhao Jun.
“Zhao Jun…the King of Ginseng!” Immediately afterward, Shen Qiushan remembered the clue about the King of Ginseng that his father had given him before he left.
Now, the ginseng king has also been taken away by Zhao's army.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiushan threw off the covers, got up, and yanked the IV needle off his hand.
Immediately, Shen Qiushan stood up and felt a sudden dizziness.
Shen Qiushan swayed his body and head, gritted his teeth, and strode towards the door.
When Shen Qiushan walked out of the hospital, the two cars belonging to the Zhao family had already left Wu Baoguo's factory compound.
After exiting the gate, one car headed east and the other west. They hadn't gone far before both stopped at the intersection.
Zhao Jun had asked the business owners at the dinner table earlier. He learned that the three Song brothers and Zhang Yuejin were all leaving early tomorrow morning.
The business owners from Zhangshu in Jiangxi Province and Yulin in Guangxi Province all headed to Changchun this afternoon and then flew away.
At this moment, Zhao's gang's two cars were parked at the intersection of the east and west roads. No matter which direction the two groups of people walked from, they would encounter Zhao's gang.
The jeep was parked on the side of the road, all four doors open. Zhao Jun leaned back in the passenger seat, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
The note contained license plate numbers, followed by surnames such as Chen, Tang, Song, and Zhang.
This note was given to Zhao Jun by Li Ruhai when they came out. Li Ruhai told Zhao Jun to stop a car according to the recorded license plate number.
It was only then that Zhao Jun realized that Li Ruhai was not only a master at controlling public opinion, but also a skilled intelligence gatherer.
Meanwhile, Li Ruhai was overseeing things on the other side. Although Wang Qiang and Zhang Yuanmin were by Li Ruhai's side, Zhao Jun had a feeling that "Ruhai is more reliable."
"Here it comes, Jun!" Suddenly, Lin Xiangshun, who was in the driver's seat, shouted, and Zhao Jun sat up with a start.
He looked up and saw a Santana driving towards him.
Zhao Jun glanced at the license plate and knew it belonged to Tang Fuquan and Chen Huailin from Zhangshu, Jiangxi Province.
Zhao Jun hurriedly got out of the car, but after getting out, he crawled back in, picked up the notebook on the seat, and glanced at the folded page.
There were two lines written on it, which Zhang Yuanmin had taught Zhao Jun. He wrote them down on paper so Zhao Jun wouldn't forget them.
After glancing at it, Zhao Jun tossed the notebook back into the car, then went over and stood in the middle of the road, spreading his arms to stop the Santana.
The Santana stopped, the passenger window was open, and Tang Fuquan's voice came from inside: "Isn't this Foreman Zhao?"
"Boss Tang!" Zhao Jun stepped forward with a smile, cupped his fists and said, "How can you leave empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain? Since you didn't manage to buy the ginseng from the tree, Boss Tang, why don't you take a look at the three ginseng kings of our Zhao family gang?"
"The three ginseng kings?" Tang Fuquan's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this.
At this moment, Zhao Jun hurriedly presented photos of the Cross-Sea Ginseng King, the Phoenix Ginseng King, and the Three Talents Ginseng King.
Tang Fuquan glanced at it twice and quickly turned around to hand it to Chen Huailin and his son in the back row.
Then, without waiting for the father and son, Tang Fuquan asked Zhao Jun, "Chief Zhao, where is your ginseng king?"
“It’s at my house,” Zhao Jun said. Tang Fuquan pressed further, “Where do you live?”
Zhao Jun smiled and pulled an envelope from his pocket. Inside the envelope was another photograph, and the envelope also had an address and phone number written on it.
Zhao Jun's account to Tang Fuquan was almost identical to his account to Yang Xuewu.
After listening, Tang Fuquan became very interested in these three ginseng kings. In particular, he was unwilling to return empty-handed after making a wasted trip with Shen Qiushan.
Today is the 12th, and there are still two days until the 15th. Zhao Jun told Tang Fuquan and the others to find a place to stay and rest for the night before heading to Shanhe.
"Come to Shanhe, try our Northeastern cuisine, and experience our local customs and culture," Zhao Jun said politely as he saw Tang Fuquan, Chen Huailin, and the others off to their car.
"Chief Zhao, then we'll see you again on the 15th," Tang Fuquan said. Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Alright, Boss Tang, have a safe trip."
Just as Zhao Jun said this, Shen Qiushan happened to walk up to him not far away.
Seeing Zhao Jun waving at the Santana's exhaust fumes, Shen Qiushan's eyes instantly turned red, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Zhao Jun!"
Zhao Jun: "Hmm?"
