The Ace Bodyguard

Perhaps the cost of nurturing them, would exceed the cost of selling them, and furthermore, one would have to risk one's life. Even a fool would not do such a great business that has no benefits and great risks.    

    

Wang Xiao entered a shop, and when he told the owner what expensive herbs he needed, the boss was extremely happy, so he could guarantee the authenticity of the goods, the value of the goods exceeded his own, and so on. He boasted as if he had already sold everything at a loss, and also had a lot of credibility. Just that, when the other party took out those medicinal ingredients, Wang Xiao realized that they were actually fake, and turned to leave.    

    

It was the same situation several times in a row. Every time, those shop owners would arrogantly guarantee that not only would their medicine ingredients be worth it, but the goods would also be genuine goods. However, Wang Xiao was always disappointed. If it was not fake, it was just that the age was not enough. If the age was not enough, the effects of the medicinal herbs would not be able to reach that level.    

    

And every time Wang Xiao left, the shopkeepers would always look down on him, what pauper, he could not afford to buy anything, in any case, he was just mocking him from behind his back. Towards their sarcastic comments, Wang Xiao increased his speed and left. It was not because of his weak character, but because he was too busy, he did not have time to deal with them. This was like a normal person who was walking on the street and would always encounter the howling of a mad dog. Was it impossible to stop and roar together with these mad dogs?    

    

After walking through many places, the results were all the same. Wang Xiao was so angry that he would destroy all the merchants here. He wanted to kill all the people who sold fake goods, but there were too many evil merchants in the world, and there were too many of them, he couldn't care less.    

    

From selling houses and cars to selling medicines and clothing, these were the few industries that dealt with business with conscience. If you get used to it, you won't get angry so easily. Wang Xiao entered a pharmacy. The business here was not good, there were not even employees, in the shop there was only a middle-aged woman.    

    

This middle-aged woman was not beautiful, but she was not ugly. However, she was fat. No, she was plump.    

    

"Little brother, may I ask what medicinal ingredients you require?" the middle-aged woman asked.    

    

"My Spiritual Dragon Root, a hundred year old yellow soil …"    

    

Wang Xiao consecutively mentioned the names of over ten types of medicinal ingredients. After the middle-aged woman heard him, she curiously sized him up a few times, as if she couldn't quite believe that a young man like Wang Xiao would actually be able to purchase such an expensive medicinal ingredient. How was this possible?    

    

"What, don't you believe it?" Wang Xiao asked.    

    

"Wait a moment."    

    

The middle-aged woman entered a small room. There was a magnetic card added to the password for the door. If he wasn't mistaken, all of the herbs stored in that room were definitely expensive. Such expensive herbs naturally had to be stored in an extremely safe place.    

    

A few minutes later, the middle-aged woman brought out all the medicinal ingredients. "Little brother, all of the medicinal plants that you wanted are here. Please rest assured that all of the things that I have here are genuine. Although they do not look good, they are all real."    

    

With regards to the middle-aged woman's words, Wang Xiao naturally did not believe them, because he had already entered and exited many pharmacies. Every time he entered the other party's medicine stores, those bosses would always guarantee that the goods were genuine, that they were worth it, and so on.    

    

"If you really want it, I can give you a discount." The middle-aged woman said.    

    

"Let me check." Wang Xiao said.    

    

"That's only natural. After all, there are millions of medicinal ingredients that need to be careful." The middle-aged woman said.    

    

Most of the years were over a hundred years old, and there were even some that were over two hundred years old. If there were expensive things, no matter which customer, they would all carefully inspect them.    

    

With the development of society, many of the plants on earth have disappeared, and some of them are even expensive herbs. However, there was no specific price for medicinal ingredients that had been there for more than a hundred years. For ordinary medicinal ingredients, the Health Bureau, related departments, and even other related departments would not set a price for them, but for those rare medicinal ingredients that had been there for more than a hundred years. This was because there were very few people who bought these things. Most of the time, there were people who were unable to buy them, and the price they had to pay depended entirely on the person who bought them.    

    

For example, calligraphy and paintings of the masters of the Tang Dynasty cost at least several million. However, if someone extremely wealthy or something had taken a fancy to him, he or she would probably bid tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, etc. It was the same for rare herbs over a hundred years old. No one could set the price for it.    

    

In the past, someone had dug up a 500 year-old ginseng in the Changbai Mountain, experts said it was worth several million, but a tycoon had actually offered a price of 20 million with a wave of his hand. Wang Xiao carefully examined them and discovered that all of them were real, all of them were real.    

    

Great, I've finally found an actual medicine store, and finally met someone with a conscience.    

    

"How much is it altogether?" Wang Xiao asked.    

    

"If you really want it, one million and two hundred thousand." The middle-aged woman said.    

    

Over a million and the price was indeed fair.    

    

Seeing that Wang Xiao did not answer immediately, the middle-aged woman felt that he must have thought that the price was too expensive, so she said: "This price is already very low, we cannot go any lower. If you really want to bargain, then I will give you a few thousand yuan less."    

    

Following that, Wang Xiao's words caused the middle aged woman to be extremely surprised.    

    

"I'll give you one million and five hundred thousand." Wang Xiao said.    

    

"What!"    

    

The middle aged woman was surprised, her eyes were wide open as she looked at Wang Xiao in disbelief. Could it be that Wang Xiao was a tycoon, so he wanted to give him more money? Perhaps it was because Wang Xiao had never read a book before, so he thought that it would be worth one million and five hundred thousand, which was less than one million and two hundred thousand yuan.    

    

If it was said that Wang Xiao had never read a book and did not know how to settle debts, the middle-aged woman truly did not believe him. This was because Wang Xiao seemed to be very smart, and besides, people who took out so much money in one go would definitely be the kind that knew how to be frugal, the kind of people who were very smart.    

    

"Are you sure?" The middle-aged woman asked.    

    

"Of course not, but I have a condition." Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.    

    

"What condition?" The middle-aged woman asked.    

    

She suspected that Wang Xiao had taken a fancy to her, so he wanted to play along with her, but that was also impossible, because she was already half a step older than Lady Xu, and because Wang Xiao was so young, he couldn't possibly fall for her. However, it was hard to say, it was rumored that many young people nowadays liked mature women.    

    

Wang Xiao said: "It's like this, I will buy these ingredients for the boss, I want you to name a price of 1.5 million, and an extra 300 thousand. We will split the price equally, but you have to give me a ticket development, and if the boss asks, you have to help me hide this matter."    

    

"I'm sorry, but in our business there's a rule that you can't cheat consumers. Although your boss didn't personally come to buy it, the money is his, so your boss is my real consumer. I can't do that."    

    

The middle-aged woman's answer surprised Wang Xiao slightly. It wasn't normal for one to not earn money.    

    

"But in this way, you'll be able to earn an extra 150,000." Wang Xiao said.    

    

He didn't believe that if this middle-aged woman could earn that much money, she would refuse it. Even a fool wouldn't refuse it. If it was him, he wouldn't refuse it either.    

    

The middle-aged woman said, "This is the rules of the organization. I can't go against it. If it is found out, I will be very miserable. And even if the organization doesn't have such a rule, I can't take the money without my conscience."    

    

From what she said, there was an organization behind her. What kind of organization could be so strict?    

    

"What's the name of the organization behind you?" Wang Xiao asked curiously.    

    

"Why are you asking this?" The middle-aged woman asked.    

    

"Because I am also from the Wulin People. I want to know, if possible, I will cooperate with your organization. In the future, I will buy all the medicinal ingredients that I need from you." As he was speaking, Wang Xiao activated a Genuine Qi.    

    

Genuine Qi s that were like flowing water quickly flowed into his hands. Wang Xiao was currently like a ball of water with his five fingers grabbing onto a ball of light, and the water was unable to flow out from the gaps of his fingers.    

    

When the middle-aged woman saw Wang Xiao use his Genuine Qi, she was slightly surprised, and said afterwards: "So it turns out that you are also a Wulin People. Furthermore, you told me that our organization is called Tianji Sect, a business that specializes in auctioning various rare items."    

    

Tianji Sect!    

    

Wang Xiao had heard of this organization when he was in Africa. It was said that this organization had a lot of treasures, regardless of cultivation techniques, medicinal ingredients, or any sort of treasures, as long as they could still be found on Earth, they could all be found within the Tianji Sect, and Tianji Sect were specialized in auctioning items.    

    

In addition, they also sold medicinal herbs.    

    

However, the main business of Tianji Sect was not selling medicinal ingredients, but rather, it was an auction. As long as Tianji Sect was activated, the items to be sold inside would cost at least a hundred million, and something less than a hundred million wouldn't be sold in Tianji Sect.    

    

Not all of the items sold by the Tianji Sect were employers. Some people obtained items that were worth as much as cities, but because their strength was insufficient, they did not just publicly sell it. Thus, they gave it to the Tianji Sect and let it be sold for them afterwards.    

    

Of course, Tianji Sect required a very high commission rate, as high as ten percent. If the employer's items were to be auctioned off for ten billion, then Tianji Sect would need to be extracted for a billion percent commission. Although the commission was high, the employer would not be at a disadvantage. This was because in the auction house, the final transaction price would be very high, far exceeding the original price of the goods.    

    

For example, an ancient bronze sword would originally not have much value as a bird and would only have a collection value, and its price would probably be around a million. However, in the Auction Conference s, the price would normally skyrocket to a few million, and if there were a few extremely rich people present, and they all liked this bronze sword, then the deal price could reach tens of millions. Because tens of millions was not money to those extremely rich and powerful people, it was just a number. In their eyes, that thing was not a question of price, but whether or not they liked it.    

    

Tianji Sect's reputation was very high, if the things entrusted to them by the employer were to go wrong, they would double the compensation, no matter how big the losses were, they would compensate, this was related to their reputation. Of course, since the Tianji Sect dared to take over the things, then it was only natural that they had the strength to ensure that no problems occurred. For example, in the ancient escort companies, some of them were not very powerful and only dared to transport businesses that were worth tens of thousands of silver taels. They would never accept businesses that were worth millions of silver taels because they were worried that it would lead to a fatal disaster.
