In the waiting area, upon hearing the approaching steps growing closer, Hu Xiaobei knew someone was nearing.
After gently setting down the cup in his hand, Hu Xiaobei raised his head and quickly saw two people walking towards him, one after the other.
They were the shopkeeper and the manager sent from the headquarters...
When they had gone upstairs earlier, they had introduced themselves, so Hu Xiaobei knew their names were Guo Demeng and Su Wei.
"Mr. Hu, I apologize for the long wait!"
After giving them both a glance, Hu Xiaobei shook his head slightly, "No problem. I’ve been enjoying a cup of tea here; it’s quite nice."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s response, Guo Demeng smiled and asked earnestly, "Mr. Hu, we took a close look at the medicinal herbs you brought in and found their quality to be excellent! We’re wondering if you have any special preservation methods?"
Hearing Guo Demeng getting straight to the point, Su Wei became a bit nervous too because he knew that if they could obtain this special preservation method, their utilization of medicinal herbs would improve dramatically in the future, potentially earning them several times more...
Sensing their heightened emotions, Hu Xiaobei knew they were evidently very interested in the herb preservation method!
Regarding this, Hu Xiaobei wasn’t surprised, "It’s just a little trick, nothing worth mentioning."
Understanding that Hu Xiaobei wasn’t going to disclose it freely, they frowned slightly...
Just as Guo Demeng was about to say something, Su Wei spoke up first, "Don’t be so modest! Tell us the method. Don’t worry, we won’t let you lose out! Two hundred thousand, we’re willing to pay two hundred thousand for the method of preserving medicinal herbs. What do you think?"
"Two hundred thousand?"
Upon hearing Su Wei name this price, Guo Demeng’s expression shifted subtly!
At this moment, he thought that the price Su Wei had mentioned was too low...
Su Wei himself knew the price was incredibly low, but he felt it was sufficient!
He had learned from Guo Demeng earlier that Hu Xiaobei was just some unimpressive farmer, so he believed they really didn’t need to pay a high price. Two hundred thousand should be more than enough to excite such a naïve farmer...
Glancing at Su Wei, Hu Xiaobei said indifferently, "Sorry, I’m not interested in selling the method. Of course, if I find other medicinal herbs in the future, I’m still willing to sell them to you. For now, I’ll be leaving."
Hu Xiaobei said this and then stood up, ready to leave!
Honestly, even if Su Wei had offered two million, even twenty million, Hu Xiaobei would never sell the method of preserving medicinal herbs, as he knew it was the foundation of his livelihood.
But now uttering the sum of two hundred thousand was essentially a show of disrespect!
Put simply, Su Wei thought he was a bumpkin and aimed to swindle him!
"Wait, you’re not going to give it any consideration?"
Faced with Hu Xiaobei’s direct rejection, Su Wei gave him a cold look!
In an instant, Su Wei’s expression turned sour.
In his view, Hu Xiaobei was not showing him any respect at all!
Who was he?
A high and mighty manager!
And yet Hu Xiaobei was nothing but a base farmer. Simply put, he had no right to refuse him...
"Sorry, as I said, I’m not interested!"
Feeling the threat in his tone, Hu Xiaobei’s expression darkened as well!
