Chapter 1967 Shen Qiushan Invites Zhao Jun to Attend the King's Assembly

Just as Liu Jinrong was about to speak after being stared at by Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun chuckled and said, "Brother Liu, I don't mean to look down on you. There's a lot to say about this place."

As he spoke, Zhao Jun raised his hand and gestured slightly, saying, "Just like when you went to Little West Mountain today, there are no clubs there at all."

"Where can I find it?" Liu Jinrong blurted out, and Zhao Jun smiled and shook his head.

Liu Jinrong gave an awkward smile, and then Zhao Jun said to him, "Brother Liu, let's say you have a particularly good wild ginseng, can you find a suitable buyer?"

“I…I should be able to do it,” Liu Jinrong said. Zhao Jun said to Li Ruhai, “Ruhai, go inside and get the photos.”

Li Ruhai accepted the order and left, while Zhao Jun led Liu Jinrong to chat about bear bile and hides in the shed.

Two minutes later, Li Ruhai returned and presented a stack of photos to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun gestured with his chin toward Liu Jinrong, and Li Ruhai understood immediately, handing the photo to Liu Jinrong.

Liu Jinrong took all the photos and the first one he saw was the Three Talents Ginseng King.

"This is fake, isn't it?" Liu Jinrong asked incredulously.

Zhao Jun smiled and gestured for Liu Jinrong to continue reading.

When these photos were taken, the Zhao family gang hadn't yet brought out the King of Sea Cucumbers. But the entire nest of rare treasures, including the King of Three Talents Sea Cucumbers, was inside.

Looking at the rare items like the snake transforming into a dragon, Liu Jinrong was dumbfounded and could hardly believe his eyes.

After looking at the last photo, Liu Jinrong handed it to Li Ruhai, then looked at Zhao Jun with envy in his eyes.

In recent years, wild ginseng has been a hard currency in Southeast Asia, and wealthy people there like to collect it.

Whether it's antiques, collectibles, or wild ginseng, if it's related to collecting, then you have to look at its condition.

This is why wild ginseng is sold based on its quality.

At that moment, Liu Jinrong thought to himself, "How wonderful it would be if all these wild ginsengs were mine."

"Brother Liu," Zhao Jun pointed to the photo of the Three Talents Ginseng King in Li Ruhai's hand and showed it to Liu Jinrong, saying, "This kind of ginseng with leaves exceeding the sixth grade is called a Ginseng King. I'm planning to hold a Ginseng King Conference in the city at the foot of the mountain soon."

"If you can help me invite a big boss from Southeast Asia, I'll give you five percent of whatever price I make from selling these sticks."

“Five percent…” Liu Jinrong looked at the photo, then looked at Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun smiled at him, just then he heard someone outside shout, "Kid! Kid!"

It's Xing San!

Upon hearing the noise, Zhao Jun hurriedly came out of the shed and asked Xing San, "What's wrong, Uncle Xing?"

"You're getting a call." Xing San said, then waved to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun turned around and called out to Liu Jinrong, who then walked out, with Li Ruhai following behind with the photo in his hand.

After leaving the shed, Li Ruhai turned around and closed the shed door.

At this moment, Zhao Jun walked up to Xing San, and then heard Xing San whisper, "Shao Tianpeng is looking for you, but I don't know what it's about."

"Master Shao?" Zhao Jun frowned slightly, then strode towards the front of the house.

Before Zhao Jun entered the house, he put the baby lynx down, and the baby lynx went to sunbathe on the low wall of the vegetable garden.

Zhao Jun went inside to answer the phone. He picked up the phone and said to Shao Tianpeng, "Brother Shao, is there something you need?"

"Zhao Jun, here's the thing," Shao Tianpeng said on the other end of the phone. "Old Wu from Fusong is going to hold another ginseng king conference."

"Opening again?" Zhao Jun laughed upon hearing this, "Didn't we just open it? Why are you still refusing?"

"His nephew is carrying a treasure," Shao Tianpeng said, his tone full of envy, then asked Zhao Jun, "Guess what he's carrying?"

"His nephew?" Zhao Jun was slightly taken aback. Instead of answering Shao Tianpeng's question, he asked in return, "Is that the foreman Shen we met last time?"

"Yes, it's him!" Shao Tianpeng said with envy, "You young guys are so lucky. Look at the wooden dragon and the little white dragon you carried, those two sold for 200,000. This one that Chief Shen carried this time is even more damn expensive."

"What is he carrying?" Zhao Jun couldn't help but ask. At this moment, Zhao Jun hadn't realized that the "treasure" Shen Qiushan was going to display at the Ginseng King Conference was related to him. Zhao Jun still thought that the kettle with ginseng seedlings he had prepared had already been exposed.

Even if you plant them in water, the seedlings have no roots, so they can only stay fresh for a short time, and they will wilt the next day.

But to Zhao Jun's surprise, Shen Qiushan's son helped him cover up the scheme, and to this day, Shen Qiushan and his group of twenty-one people are still living happily thanks to that "treasure".

“You would never guess,” Shao Tianpeng said. “It’s neither touching the sky nor the earth, it grows and matures among trees, a divine herb nurtured by nature.”

Zhao Jun: "..."

When Zhao Jun heard "not reaching the sky," he knew what Shao Tianpeng was about to say.

But what Zhao Jun couldn't understand was what Shen Qiushan was trying to do.

"Master Shao," Zhao Jun asked Shao Tianpeng, "what does Chief Shen mean by this?"

"Let us go," Shao Tianpeng said, then asked Zhao Jun, "Haven't you been putting away ginseng lately?"

"Ah..." Zhao Jun mumbled a response, then heard Shao Tianpeng say, "If you want to take it and buy something, just return it. This time, Wu, the foreman, has helped his nephew contact a lot of good buyers; almost all the big bosses in the industry have gone."

Besides, there's only one of those treasures; only one person can buy it, no one else can. Those who can't buy it can buy ours instead.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun blinked. Shao Tianpeng was right, but the problem was that Shen Qiushan's "treasure" was fake.

Zhao Jun didn't believe Shen Qiushan was unaware of this matter, so the question arises: If that's the case, why did Shen Qiushan still convene the Advisory Council meeting?

"Could they be coming for me?" Zhao Jun's heart skipped a beat. He thought of Shen Qiushan and his men chasing and intercepting him before he left. Could it be that Shen Qiushan was deliberately trying to lure him there?

When Shao Tianpeng on the other end of the phone didn't get a response from Zhao Jun, he immediately asked, "Zhao Jun, are you going or not?"

“I…I’ll think about it and then decide, Mr. Shao,” Zhao Jun said. Shao Tianpeng replied, “If you have some skills, then go for it. July 12th, there’s still a week left, get ready.”

Shao Tianpeng's words were still correct, but Zhao Jun fell silent.

He couldn't figure out whether Shen Qiushan was really having a meeting or setting a trap.

After giving Shao Tianpeng a few brief words of thanks, Zhao Jun thanked the old man and hung up the phone.

As for whether to go or not, Zhao Jun told Shao Tianpeng that he would discuss it with the gang members.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jun went outside and saw Liu Jinrong standing there with a satchel on his back, while Wang Meilan was talking to him.

Seeing Zhao Jun come out, Liu Jinrong smiled at him and said he was leaving.

"Brother Liu, where are you going?" Zhao Jun asked, thinking Liu Jinrong was going home.

But then Liu Jinrong said, "I'm going up the mountain to dig for ginseng."

"You..." Zhao Jun was speechless. At this moment, Wang Meilan said to Liu Jinrong, "You went up the mountain the other day, what are you going to do at night?"

“I heard that there are people living in the mountains, and that there are houses,” Liu Jinrong said. “I’ll go ask for lodging there.”

“Borrow…” Wang Meilan was speechless. She wanted to persuade him again, but then she heard Zhao Jun say to Liu Jinrong, “Brother Liu, it’s dangerous for you to go up the mountain by yourself. I’m not trying to be mean, but if you run into wild animals, you might not be able to come back.”

"No way," Liu Jinrong said. "I've come all the way to the Northeast, I'm determined to find ginseng."

Since things had come to this point, Zhao Jun sighed and didn't try to persuade her any further. Seeing that Wang Meilan was about to say something to Liu Jinrong, Zhao Jun said to her, "Mom, look, there's some food over there. Get some for my brother Liu."

Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Jun, then went to the dish rack and took out a flour bag, which contained the large pancakes left over from the Zhao family's trip.

Seeing that there were five salted goose eggs left in the dish rack, Wang Meilan simply gave them all to Liu Jinrong.

Liu Jinrong offered to pay, but Zhao Jun refused.

And so, Zhao Jun and Li Ruhai escorted Liu Jinrong out of the compound. During this time, Zhao Jun neither tried to persuade Liu Jinrong again, nor did he mention asking him to help contact wealthy men in Southeast Asia to sell ginseng.

Since Liu Jinrong has already rejected Zhao Jun with his actions, anything Zhao Jun says will only make Liu Jinrong overthink things.

After watching Liu Jinrong leave, Zhao Jun sighed heavily, then returned to the courtyard with Li Ruhai.

After entering the room, Zhao Jun went back to his room and found a small notebook. He turned to the second page and saw Zhang Yuejin's contact information.

Zhao Jun took the notebook to the west hut and asked for a phone number through the telephone exchange according to the phone book.

The long-distance call lasted for half an hour, but no one answered. Zhao Jun then tried to contact Song Qianli.

Zhang Yuejin and Song Qianli were both people Zhao Jun met in Fusong.

Nearly twenty minutes later, the call finally went through. Zhao Jun told the person on the other end that he was looking for Song Qianli, but seven or eight minutes later, it was Song San who answered the phone.

"Hey, Third Boss, did Wu Baoguo tell you that you're going to their place again in a few days?" Zhao Jun didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, asking Song San whether he had received Wu Baoguo's invitation.

“I told them,” Song San said. “The phone call came this morning, and then my eldest brother and second brother went out to raise money.”

"So you're planning to go?" Zhao Jun asked. Song San replied without hesitation, "Of course we have to go. I've never seen this natural treasure before, I've only heard about it."

Hearing this, Zhao Jun felt that Shen Qiushan wasn't setting a trap to lure him in. If that were the case, he wouldn't have bothered to notify these ginseng dealers.

This is something that can't be changed. Once the notification is given and the person is transferred, if Shen Qiushan says he won't hold this meeting, wouldn't that be playing with people?

If they offend these ginseng dealers, the Shen family gang will only be able to sell their ginseng to purchasing stations from now on.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Jun frowned, muttering to himself, "Did he really strike it rich? No way..."

"Hey Zhao, what did you say?" Song San's voice came from the other end of the phone. Zhao Jun snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Nothing, Boss San. Um... you get back to work, see you in Fusong in a few days."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jun stood there, staring straight out the window.

Zhao Jun now has a lot of wild ginseng, including some top-quality ones, but he doesn't plan to sell it at the Ginseng King Conference convened by Wu Baoguo and Shen Qiushan.

Fusong is not their territory after all, and the ginseng from the Zhao family gang is too valuable; transporting it to other places could easily cause trouble.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhao Jun decided that he should hold his own Ginseng King Conference on this side of the mountain and river.

As I said before, the Zhao family gang has no shortage of good wild ginseng; what they lack now is good buyers.

If Zhao Jun didn't have any good goods, he wouldn't bother; he could just go down the mountain and sell them.

But now Zhao Jun has four ginseng kings. These are not cheap items, and with more potential sellers, they could potentially fetch an extra 100,000 or 200,000.

So when Shao Tianpeng told him that Wu Baoguo had contacted all the influential buyers in the industry, Zhao Jun also wanted to attend the Ginseng King Conference.

Of course, given Zhao Jun's character, he wouldn't cause trouble during the meeting. He would extend invitations to the business owners after the ginseng king conference concluded.

Isn't Shen Qiushan's Ginseng King Conference scheduled for July 12th?

Zhao Jun, flipping through his calendar, decided to set his ginseng king conference for July 15th.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun picked up the phone again and called Zhou Jianjun, asking Zhou Jianjun to contact his friends so that he could go to the forest farm and the third work section tomorrow and then go down the mountain the day after to arrange the site.

While Zhao Jun was on the phone with Zhou Jianjun, Zhao Youcai was listening intently, holding a gun in both hands, searching for Xiao Xiongba's whereabouts in the woods.

Behind Zhao Youcai were five people: Wang Qiang, Zhao Weipeng, Ma Sheng, Zhao Jinhui, and Tong Youfeng.

Of the six of them, only Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang did not have dogs on their leashes.

Normally, the person walking the dog should walk in front. But in this team, Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang walked in front, while the four people walking the dogs followed behind.

It wasn't that Zhao Weipeng and his group couldn't move; rather, in this way, the hunting dogs only served as warning dogs.

Six people and four dogs walked down the hillside. At this moment, Tong Youfeng raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and asked Wang Qiang, "Master Wang, why don't we let the dogs out?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang glanced around and said, "Can we let the dog out here? If it runs off, where are we going to find it?"

Wang Qiang's words were not an exaggeration at all. The surroundings were all green, with nothing but grass and leaves in sight. A person's line of sight is considered far if it can extend twenty meters, so if a dog were to go out, a person simply couldn't keep up.

Hearing what Wang Qiang said, Tong Youfeng thought it made sense, but he still muttered under his breath, "How many lifetimes would it take to find him?"

His words reached Zhao Youcai's ears. Zhao Youcai turned around and glared at Tong Youfeng, saying, "Let's go, let's go to the riverbank and search along the riverbank to see if we can find it."

Of the group, Tong Youfeng was the most familiar with the terrain. He felt that Zhao Youcai's words made sense, so he took the lead without hesitation.

But as soon as the six of them changed course and walked more than two hundred meters along the side road, they heard Black Tiger and Green Tiger speak.

"Ow ooh..."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The two dogs barked because they smelled the scent, while Erhei and Bailong barked along purely to join in the fun.

As soon as the dog barked, Zhao Youcai's small eyes lit up instantly. He immediately held his gun horizontally and urged, "Let's go, let's go quickly."

After saying that, Zhao Youcai walked away quickly.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" Wang Qiang remembered Zhao Jun's instructions when he left home and hurriedly chased after Zhao Youcai.

After leaving the two fat men behind, Zhao Youcai walked very fast. Wang Qiang finally caught up with him, grabbed Zhao Youcai's arm, and said, "Brother-in-law, slow down!"

As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, they heard a rustling sound from above. Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang looked up and saw a clump of tree trunks rustling above.

Looking around, all I could see were the leaves and branches swaying, as if something was rushing down below!
