Also known as Brother Dong, he is the leader of a joint black-market operation. He has significant connections, as shown by his ability to reach wealthy or high-status buyers. He bought the two ginseng roots for 2,000 yuan using his own money rather than group funds, keeping all profit for himself. He was thoughtful about the claim that rabbits were raised on ginseng leaves and agreed to trade for them. He misjudged Ji Tangtang initially but later realized she was anything but simple.
