Chapter 14 - Protection
Being the president of a bank, he had encountered numerous wealthy individuals.
Every affluent person had their own distinctive interests and pastimes.
Perhaps the wealthy person before him had a penchant for farming.
“You're the one selling these bamboo shoots?!”
President Chen inquired with evident surprise.
“Yes, please have a look.”
Su Ming responded casually, strolling to the rear door of the car and opening it.
President Chen moistened his lips and hurriedly made his way to the back of the vehicle to peer inside.
There were not many of these golden bamboo shoots; only a hundred existed worldwide.
Although not large in size, they possessed an exceptionally high density. Despite their bamboo shoot-like appearance, they were petite.
Most significantly, the gold's purity was exceptionally high, rendering these golden bamboo shoots exquisite and exceptionally valuable.
Each bamboo shoot boasted its own unique serial number.
This was particularly true for the bamboo shoot bearing the number 001.
Its worth was outrageously high.
As for the seemingly unremarkable bamboo shoot nearest to President Chen, its label bore the number 001.
“President Chen, are you interested in purchasing them?”
Surprised by President Chen's momentary silence, Su Ming couldn't help but inquire.
“Yes!”
Fearing that Su Ming might reconsider, President Chen exclaimed jubilantly, momentarily startling Su Ming.
“My apologies, I got carried away.”
President Chen, aware of his loss of composure, rubbed his hands sheepishly.
He had struck gold this time.
These 50 golden bamboo shoots constituted a substantial sum, and there was profit to be made without a doubt.
“How do you intend to sell them?”
President Chen ventured to ask.
Su Ming hesitated momentarily. “I'll sell them by weight! Don't your bank's coffers have enough money? I can take my business elsewhere.”
President Chen hastily waved his hand. “We certainly have enough funds!”
President Chen was on the brink of ecstasy!
He had just made a fortune!
The value of bamboo shoot number 001 alone far surpassed the worth of the gold itself.
This specially numbered bamboo shoot was worth millions.
It was worth noting that a 4,000g bamboo shoot was valued at only 1.56 million.
However, President Chen remained oblivious to Su Ming's nonchalance.
To Su Ming, this was merely a facet of farming.
Su Ming glanced at the time. “I'll get in the car and catch some sleep then. Notify me when you're finished.”
President Chen promptly nodded.
President Chen concurred while wiping the beads of sweat from his brow. As he watched Su Ming take the driver's seat and shut his eyes for a nap, he couldn't help but reflect:
This was the essence of wealth.
The contents in the car were worth hundreds of millions in gold.
Yet, Su Ming remained utterly unfazed.
Despite Su Ming's absence to supervise, President Chen did not dare to act recklessly.
But parking Su Ming's vehicle by the roadside in broad daylight made it inappropriate to tally gold in front of onlookers, right?
President Chen pondered for a moment. He had no choice but to make a phone call.
Before long, two black vehicles approached. Over a dozen fully equipped bank security personnel formed a perimeter.
These individuals were bank employees authorized to carry firearms.
Additionally, several patrol officers, alerted by the commotion, arrived and encircled the vicinity.
