Chapter Summary
After the Great Cataclysm, many research institutions discovered that if black oak products were ground into powder, they could be added to certain materials to increase their compatibility by more than 10%. Most of the items in Zhao Wudi's storage space were these things, and there were also many large pieces of furniture. Although Zhou Tao didn't know how much these items were worth, he understood one thing: his branch company was so large, and even acquiring items from the previous owner, he ...
Black oak products belonged to a tribe from before the Great Cataclysm, an aboriginal tribe that lived in the tropical rainforest. Because these items were rare and had a calming effect on the mind, they were very valuable. Their numbers became even scarcer after the Great Cataclysm.
After the Great Cataclysm, many research institutions discovered that if black oak products were ground into powder, they could be added to certain materials to increase their compatibility by more than 10%. This gave them practical value, and their price naturally soared. For example, the bowl Liu Ning took out would be worth at least tens of millions, and that's by weight.
After Zhou Tao explained, Liu Ning realized he had struck it rich. Most of the items in Zhao Wudi's storage space were these things, and there were also many large pieces of furniture. If they were sold by the gram, how much would they be worth?
"Brother Liu, I can't appraise this item. I need to get our expert over here. This item is divided into several grades, and the price of each grade is completely different. Brother Liu, why don't you come with me to take a look?"
Zhou Tao was truly embarrassed at this moment. As the owner of a branch company of the trade group, he couldn't identify this item, so he didn't dare to give an inaccurate estimate. He had to have a master craftsman come and take a look. Whether or not an item could be acquired wasn't important; if he really offended Liu Ning, Zhou Tao would regret it for the rest of his life.
Liu Ning had nothing else to do anyway, so he followed Zhou Tao. It was a good opportunity to see how much these things were worth, as he had plenty of them in his storage space.
They quickly arrived at their appraisal room. The master craftsman examined it with a slight tremor, then placed it on an instrument for measurement. The final result was that this item was of the sub-premium grade, not the highest, but even so, its price was 240,000 per gram.
After hearing their quote, Liu Ning was stunned. He hadn't expected this item to be so valuable. He thought only the bones of fierce beasts could be sold by the gram, but it turned out this item could too.
When placed on the precise instrument, the item weighed 301 grams.
Zhou Tao swallowed hard at this moment. If he had just quoted a few million earlier, it would have clearly been ripping off Liu Ning, who was unaware. The value of this item was over 70 million. Even if Liu Ning and Zhou Tao were acquaintances, this matter would be hard to explain.
"In that case, please help me deal with these items as well. I don't have an eye for appreciation, nor do I want to collect them. Just transfer the money to my account later."
After Liu Ning finished speaking, he placed several more such items on the table. If someone hadn't been supporting the old gentleman, he would likely have fallen to the ground at that moment. Did he think these were winter cabbages? How could there be so many?
Not to mention the master craftsman, even Zhou Tao, after serving as general manager for a while, was well-traveled and knowledgeable, but seeing the items covering half the table, Zhou Tao felt a little breathless. He had known for a long time that Liu Ning had good stuff and many valuable items, but this was too much. He wasn't treating everyone's lives as important!
"I say, Brother Liu, next time you take things out, can you give your brother a heads-up first? Look at all these things today, even my master craftsman was startled. There are just too many."
Liu Ning noticed that Zhou Tao also had one hand on his chair to steady himself. Only then did he realize how precious the items he had taken out were. It seemed he would have to be more low-key in the future.
Although Zhou Tao didn't know how much these items were worth, he understood one thing: his branch company was so large, and even acquiring items from the previous owner, he might not be able to find so many black oak products in a year. He truly didn't know where Liu Ning got them.
Just as they were still raising funds, Zhou Tao immediately had his people come over to measure. After all the items were measured, they gave an acquisition price of nearly 5 billion. Zhou Tao rounded up the figure for Liu Ning and prepared to give him 5 billion.
Liu Ning calculated his total assets at this moment, plus the undistributed funds from the other side. He estimated that he now had six or seven hundred billion in cash alone. If it were according to the city's wealth magazine, Liu Ning was already one of the top ten richest people in the city.
However, Liu Ning absolutely wouldn't believe that stuff. Those things were just concocted by the news media. Many wealthy individuals were actually invisible billionaires. Not to mention others, just take Zhao Wudi, for instance. How much were the items he casually threw into a storage space worth? Liu Ning only took out some small items; the large black oak products were not taken out at all.
The things Zhao Wudi didn't want could exceed the person at the top of the rankings, let alone the things Zhao Wudi cherished. If those items were taken out, even the Zhou family's trade group might not be able to acquire them all.
When things were almost settled here, Zhang Daxue and the others also came in. The transaction there had been completed, and all the money had reached Liu Ning. However, Zhang Daxue gave Liu Ning a new list, which was the amount Liu Ning needed to pay everyone. The original estimate was 20 billion, but the actual acquisition was 32.3 billion, so there was a significant difference in the amount.
Seeing the eager eyes of these guys, Liu Ning understood what they meant. Everyone risked so much in the wilderness just to make money. Now that it was time to collect, everyone wanted to secure their earnings, so Liu Ning didn't delay and immediately transferred the money to everyone in Zhou Tao's office.
When each of their smart devices received the notification, their faces lit up with joy. It was the first time in their lives they had earned so much money.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. According to our team's rules, since you made money out there this time, you have to treat us. Everyone is ready for a big feast."
This rule was set by Lei Lie: whoever earned the most money outside had to treat everyone upon their return. Although Lei Lie was no longer around, Liu Ning believed this was a good rule. Liu Ning thought that good rules from the past should be kept, so he happily announced that they could pick any restaurant in the city and eat whatever they wanted.
