After sending Tian Zhen home, Qin Hai gave Shen Meng a call and reported that he was safe before contacting Xu Fangyun.
To Qin Hai"s surprise, the place Xu Fangyun had arranged to meet him was not some high-cla.s.s restaurant or hotel, but a small food stall by the sea.
There was a night market near the snack bar, as well as a few KTV, so even though it was midnight, there were still quite a few customers here. On the other side of the road was an endless ocean. Although it was night, the sound of the waves could not be seen. The wind kept blowing, giving off a nice feeling.
"Mister Lin, I"m sorry. This place is a little crude. I"ve let you down." After meeting her, Xu Fangyun was still as polite as ever.
Qin Hai laughed, "Actually, I quite like coming to this kind of place to eat. Not only are the ingredients fresh, the taste is delicious and they are very gracious. "I"m actually rather surprised that Boss Xu would actually come here. The impression you give me is at least that of a high-cla.s.s restaurant that is worthy of your ident.i.ty."
Xu Fangyun smiled, lifting up the hair that the sea breeze had blown in front of her. Her actions were charming and feminine.
"Mr. Qin, you must be joking. Actually, I grew up here when I was young. Previously, my favorite thing was to come here and eat something." Elder Fowan"s cooking skills are also the best in this area. You"ll know when you taste it later. "
Xu Fangyun said that Elder Fu was the owner of this snack bar. He was in his sixties, and the two of them were in charge of this stall.
Qin Hai greeted the old couple as Xu Fangyun introduced them. After exchanging a few words, he turned back to look at Xu Fangyun and smiled, "It seems like Director Xu is also someone who is very gracious."
"I can"t say for sure, but I"m just lucky. If I hadn"t entered the Exquisite Pavilion at that time, I probably would"ve ended up like them now." Xu Fangyun then turned her head to look at the other side of the street. There were a few women standing there with heavy makeup and wearing exceptionally revealing clothes. One look and it was clear that they were the Miss who was holding the customer down by the side of the road.
"I am willing to listen to the details!" Qin Hai knew that Xu Fangyun had gotten to the point.
Xu Fangyun picked up the wine bottle and poured each of them a gla.s.s of wine, toasting Qin Hai first before saying, "Actually, the story is very ordinary. Back then, my father was addicted to gambling and gambled away all of his family a.s.sets, and he even liked to hit people when he was drunk. My mom couldn"t stand it and secretly ran away. After that, my father was in debt to a usurer, and his legs were broken. The other party even wanted to drag me to a nightclub to drink with them. I was so scared that I quickly hid away, but they caught me in the end. "If I hadn"t run into Aunt Chen at that time, I wouldn"t be in my current state."
Finally, she added, "Aunt Chen was the person in charge of the Linglong Pavilion in Haicheng."
Qin Hai nodded and asked: "Boss Xu, what kind of organization is Linglong Pavilion? I heard that the members of Linglong Pavilion are all women, is that true? "
Xu Fangyun nodded, "The majority of the members of the Exquisite Pavilion are women, and they are all women who have suffered from misfortune. Our purpose is to do our best to help the women who are suffering. To that end, we have done a lot of work, such as setting up the Nutmeg Fund, which specializes in financing girls from poor families to continue their studies, and setting up a large number of orphanages throughout the country for the adoption of street children. "
"I"ve heard of the Nutmeg Fund. I didn"t expect it to be established by you. Truly amazing!" Whether it was Xu Fangyun, Yanzi, or the Shadow Squad that had been annihilated by Liu Haitian, they all had very good skills. If Linglong Pavilion was only a welfare organization, why would they train so hard to build such a big power?
Xu Fangyun continued, "Whether it"s the Nutmeg Fund or other projects, they all require a lot of money. In order to raise money, our Linglong Pavilion has even established many industries, doing everything possible to open up new sources of income, and the auction is one of them."
Qin Hai asked, "CEO Xu, did you collect all those treasures and precious herbs at the auction?"
"Almost half of them were collected by us, and the other half were sold by our customers over here. "Because our Linglong Pavilion"s reputation is not bad, everyone here can rest a.s.sured."
Qin Hai pondered for a moment, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Xu Fangyun, "Boss Xu, help me price the pills in here. If it were your Linglong Pavilion, how much would they sell for?"
The pill in the bottle was the Pei-Yuan Dan concocted by Qin Hai. Xu Fangyun poured the Pei-Yuan Dan out and carefully looked at it in her hand. She was surprised, "Mr. Lin, where did you get this pill from?"
Qin Hai smiled. "I"m sorry, but it would be inconvenient for me to reveal the specific source."
Xu Fangyun nodded, indicating that Qin Hai should wait for a moment. Then, she took out her phone and made a call. Not long after, an old man hurried over.
Taking the Pei-Yuan Dan from Xu Fangyun"s hands, he scrutinized it for a moment, then smelled the medicinal fragrance of the pill. With Qin Hai"s consent, the old man sc.r.a.ped a bit of the powder from the Pei-Yuan Dan and savored it. Then, with a shocked expression, he solemnly put the Pei-Yuan Dan back on the table and whispered a few words into Xu Fangyun"s ear.
As Xu Fangyun listened, she looked at Qin Hai in surprise. Moreover, the surprise on her face was getting more and more intense. Finally, she nodded and gestured for the old man to leave.
"Mr. Lin, if you give this pill to us for auction, I can guarantee that it will fetch a price of more than $30 million. Of course, it"s actually likely to cost more than fifty million dollars. " After the old man left, Xu Fangyun decisively said.
Qin Hai was already mentally prepared for Xu Fangyun"s bid, but he still asked with a smile, "This medicine isn"t from the Medicine Valley, how can it be sold for such a high price?"
Xu Fangyun sternly said, "Although this pill did not flow out from Medicine Valley, its quality and medicinal properties are not inferior to those of Medicine Valley"s pills. Mr. Lin, if you lack money and are willing to sell this pill, our Linglong Pavilion is willing to pay fifty million dollars for it. "
Qin Hai asked curiously, "Has the price of pills always been so high?"
Xu Fangyun shook her head, "Not all of them. Only some top tier pills will sell at sky-high prices. However, since these top tier pills are either rare in terms of recipes or ingredients, they are always priceless. As long as even one of them appears, it would attract a lot of attention. "
She glanced at the Pei-Yuan Dan, and continued, "Elder Pang is a master in the appraisal of pills in the Linglong Pavilion. According to his earlier judgement, your pill"s efficacy is thirty percent higher than the same pill in the Medicine King Valley, so there is no doubt that your pill is of the highest quality."
