Chapter 1305 - 827: You're Really Overthinking It

Du Heng urged, and Gu Qinghong asked too, but the person just didn't come back. Being anxious was useless, so the two could only sit on the steps, continuing to watch the bustle of the small square.

However, regarding Gu Qinghong's change today, Du Heng felt very unaccustomed.

This woman wasn't as aggressive as before. Most of the time, she spoke softly and tenderly.

You might think she's pretending, but her natural manner of speaking didn't seem fake.

Yet, if you say it's not an act, there's an inexplicable awkwardness about it.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the seller's phone call came through, informing them to come and see the item.

Du Heng followed Gu Qinghong to the seller's house with excitement, but as soon as they were invited in and saw the situation inside, both Du Heng and Gu Qinghong's expressions turned unpleasant.

"Doctor Zhang, 100,000 yuan is the highest price I can offer." At this moment, in the small living room, a young man sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking arrogantly at his talking counterpart.

Seeing the other party unmoved, the young man lightly patted his knee and said, "Doctor Zhang, you should know the market for rhinoceros horn these days.

The item is good, but it's also a hot potato. Besides me, who else would take over this item now?

Who dares to buy it, and would you dare to sell it?

Aren't you afraid of getting caught and taken away as soon as you walk out the door?"

The young man's words, aside from clearly showing his purchasing intent, were also an implicit threat to Doctor Zhang, leaving Doctor Zhang as the seller more frustrated than anything else.

Doctor Zhang sat on the sofa with half his butt, leaning slightly forward, with his hands nervously clenched together.

At a glance, it seemed like Doctor Zhang was a guest, the one with a request, rather than the owner of the house and the seller of the coveted item.

"Mr. He, the price you're offering is too low." Doctor Zhang said with a bitter face, "The market price for rhinoceros horn is between 4,000 and 7,000 yuan per gram.

My item weighs 1,300 grams. Even considering the low end of 4,000 per gram, the difference in price is huge."

Saying this, Doctor Zhang rubbed his hands hard again, "If it weren't for my son being in a hurry to get married and needing a house, I definitely wouldn't sell this good stuff."

Just as those words were spoken, Du Heng and Gu Qinghong were invited in by his wife.

Upon seeing each other, the young man immediately showed a displeased expression.

Similarly, Du Heng and Gu Qinghong looked visibly unhappy.

What's going on here?

Is it their way of leveraging their item for better prices by pressuring the opponent?

But can this item really pressure other buyers?

Isn't this a complete joke?

Buying and selling rhinoceros horn isn't something to flaunt openly. The fewer people involved, the better.

Now bringing in a competitor, are they trying to speed things up by adding fuel?

Seeing the situation and hearing their conversation, Du Heng turned around without thinking and walked away.

Du Heng's movement left Gu Qinghong feeling both awkward and angry. She glared fiercely at Doctor Zhang inside and then followed Du Heng to leave.

Seeing Gu Qinghong, Doctor Zhang's face showed a hint of joy, but when the two didn't say a word and directly turned and left, it startled him. He quickly got up to chase after them.

Is he stupid?

He's not stupid; in fact, he thinks he's smarter than anyone else.

Although Gu Qinghong called and said someone wanted to buy his rhinoceros horn,

it was obvious that the buyer must be a doctor because besides being used medicinally, its value as an art piece isn't that high. Plus, very few people use this as a decoration; it's a rare hobby.

It's certain that the buyer Gu Qinghong found must be a TCM.

But how much money could a traditional Chinese medicine doctor have?

The current Mr. He, he's a genuine company boss. He might not have enough money to make it to Forbes, but he could easily pull out several hundred thousand.

Since I'm the seller, why not sell it at a higher price? It should be sold to the highest bidder, of course.

As for offending people, that's just a joke.

If Mr. He gets the item, considering my relationship with Gu Qinghong, she wouldn't take it too seriously. At most, she'd just be unhappy.

If Gu Qinghong gets the item, with her family background, does Mr. He dare to play dirty or report?

Even if he doesn't fear, if he sets off fireworks, considering Gu Qinghong's background, how big of a wave could this possibly stir?

It would be suppressed in no time by the Gu family.

So, no matter how you think about it, this situation benefits me without any harm.

After all, keeping this item myself doesn't mean it has no value, but it hardly has any. Besides taking up space, there's also the worry of it being stolen.

So why not go for it?

Why not earn a little extra?

Those who dare achieve, those who don't starve, if successful, the extra money is counted in the tens of thousands, not just a few tens or hundreds.

Both parties are wealthy, clashing might even result in me getting more.

"Miss Gu, I'm really sorry; just after I called you, Mr. He arrived." Doctor Zhang quickly stepped in front of Gu Qinghong, blocking their path.
