?67: Chapter 72: Tianyuan Wood 67: Chapter 72: Tianyuan Wood “Tianyuan Wood, one gold coin for 1kg.”

    The voice of the system was still ringing.

    Tianyuan Wood?

    I’ve never heard of it before!

    But, could it be related to the Tianyuan Stone?

    The same name, the same recycling value, there’s indeed a high probability.

    “Manager Guan, I was just kidding with you, and you took it seriously.” Li Zhongnan walked over with a smile, casually picked up her broom, and started to examine it closely.

    The wooden broom handle was the same aqua color as the Tianyuan Stone.

    The handle was hollow, and trying flex it, Li Zhongnan found it was as tough as the Tianyuan Stone.

    He couldn’t break it even with his strength.

    Moreover, it was surprisingly heavy, even though it was no larger than a baby’s arm and was just a meter long, it weighed at least five or six jin.

    According to the price of one gold coin per kilogram, it could be sold for at least two or three gold coins!

    In other words, this wooden stick was worth at least five or six hundred dollars.

    To use it to make a broom was simply lavish.

    “East River Manufacture Factory?”

    Li Zhongnan turned the broom over and over, and finally found what he was looking for.

    He got excited.

    If it was just about selling the wood for a few gold coins, he wouldn’t be thrilled.

    But pinpointing the source of Tianyuan Wood was a big deal.

    Guan Jing looked at him curiously and called out, “President Li?”

    Li Zhongnan suppressed his excitement, adjusted his tone, and asked, “Manager Guan, do you know about the East River Manufacture Factory?”

    Guan Jing nodded excitedly at his words and exclaimed, “Of course, my hometown has the East River Manufacture Factory, it’s even in our village.”

    What a coincidence.

    “Where’s your hometown?”

    Li Zhongnan eagerly asked.

    However, as soon he asked, he felt a bit stupid.

    If the factory was called the East River Manufacture Factory, it only made sense for it to be located in East River.

    East River was a small town, located on East River Island, which was a group of small islands.

    Like Northrealm, it was under the jurisdiction of Nangang, but it only had a few townships and was much smaller than Northrealm.

    As expected, Guan Jing responded, “In East River Town, on East River Island.”

    Li Zhongnan nodded, asking, “Manager Guan, could you take me there?”

    Guan Jing hesitated, replying, “Mr.

    Li, I’m sorry, but I have to work.”

    “Manager Guan, you’re not being fair,” said Li Zhongnan, shaking his head.

    For the real estate intermediary industry, he had some understanding.

    Even an ordinary salesman, let alone a district manager, could accompany customers for three days without working.

    Of course, the premise was that you had to perform.

    Guan Jing awkwardly smiled and asked tentatively, “Contract?”

    This flashy and not-so-serious young tycoon suddenly became serious and mysterious.

    Although she didn’t know why, she had some sense that it had something to do with the East River Manufacture Factory.

    And this matter seemed to be very important to him.

    So, this was the best time to secure him.

    Sure enough, Li Zhongnan stated, “Sign, let’s sign it now.”

    After signing the contract and paying one year’s rent, a total of 360,000.

    Li Zhongnan put away the contract and asked, “Manager Guan, can you take me there now?”

    Guan Jing nodded, “Sure thing.

    But, President Li, what are you going to do there?” She then teased, “Could it be that you’re interested in those brooms?”

    She hit the nail on the head!

    Li Zhongnan angled a look at her, saying, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!”

    “Oh!”

    Guan Jing replied and then closed her mouth.

    Throughout the journey.

    Neither of them said a word.

    After the “million” incident, Li Zhongnan wasn’t disgusted with Guan Jing, but he also lost interest.

    Coupled with his focus on the “Tianyuan Wood”, he naturally wouldn’t chat much with her.

    As for Guan Jing, she felt somewhat uneasy facing Li Zhongnan, and didn’t know what to say.

    Two hours later.

    They arrived at their destination and got out of the car.

    Li Zhongnan was somewhat disappointed.

    The East River Manufacture Factory was located in a remote little village with only about ten households, called Guan Family Village.

    Surrounding the village were barren hills and fields with little human activity, even more desolate than Li Family Village.

    Plus, it wasn’t really a factory but a small workshop of seven or eight cottages.

    The sound of the car attracted a man in his thirties who walked out.

    Guan Jing gave him a smile and greeted, “Uncle Xing, hello.”

    “Xiao Jing, you’re back!”

    Guan Xing greeted.

    Looking at Li Zhongnan, he joked, “Nice young man, tall and strong.

    Are you Xiao Jing’s boyfriend?” Then, he glanced at the car and said, “Xiao Jing, well done, very well done.

    I always knew with your qualities, you’d find a good one sooner or later.”

    Guan Jing gave an awkward laugh and said, “Uncle Xing, you’re mistaken.

    This is President Li and he’s here to see you in particular.”

    Inwardly, she wish it was true.

    But with his conditions, he could have any kind of beauty he wanted, and why would he fancy her?

    Even if he did fancy her, he would probably only play with her.

    Li Zhongnan reached out his hand, smiling, “Li Zhongnan.”

    “Guan Xing!”

    Guan Xing nodded, they shook hands.

    Thereafter, Li Zhongnan glanced at Guan Jing, who promptly said, “President Li, Uncle Xing, should I go home first?”

    Li Zhongnan nodded with satisfaction, saying, “Okay, you can go first.

    After I finish, I’ll come to pick you up?”

    “No need to trouble yourself, I can take a taxi back to Nangang myself,” Guan Jing shook her head, adding, “However, when President Li buys a house, don’t forget about me.”

    Li Zhongnan assured, “No problem.”

    Guan Jing answered and then turned to leave.

    “President Li, may I ask what did you want to see me for?” Guan Xing finally understood their relationship, and his smile faded a bit.

    In a straightforward manner, Li Zhongnan asked, “Manager Guan, do you have any of the brooms you made that are not sold yet?”

    Guan Xing perked up at his words, asking, “How many do you want, President Li?”

    Li Zhongnan replied, “I’ll take as many as there are!”

    Guan Xing’s face lit up with joy and he exclaimed excitedly, “I have over a thousand available at the moment, but if President Li is not in a hurry, give me a month’s time and I can make about a hundred thousand.”

    At his words, Li Zhongnan was overjoyed.

    One hundred thousand, if sold to the system, would yield at least two hundred thousand gold coins.

    This, of course, was not the main point.

    The key was that Guan Xing could indeed obtain large quantities of “Tianyuan Wood”.

    This trip was worth it.

    He smiled lightly and asked again in a casual tone, “How much per broom?” Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Guan Xing pondered a little, then said, “East River brooms are not like other brooms, their quality is superior.

    So, they are a bit pricier.

    They sell for twenty yuan each in the market, but if President Li is buying more than ten thousand, I’ll sell them to you for ten.”

    Li Zhongnan feigned contemplation, stating, “Manager Guan, actually I intended to construct greenhouses, and needed to set up some tents.

    However, metal easily rusts.

    So, I thought about using wooden poles, but general tree trunks decay too easily.

    So—”

    Guan Xing had a sudden realization, asking, “President Li is not here to buy brooms but to buy Hollow Ironwood used to make brooms?”
