Lin Sanqi returned to Beijing from a business trip and got five days of rest. He also said that he would sleep for five days and five nights and hoped that everyone would not disturb him.
In fact, Lin Sanqi wants to travel back to 2023 and acquire so many treasures, which all need to be monetized.
Returning to her home in Shilou Village, Lin Sanqi found that no one was at home, so she took a can of ice Coke from the refrigerator and drank it, then took out her mobile phone to check the recent information.
At this point, Lin Sanqi felt that she had returned to modern society.
Life in 1959 was fine during the day, but extremely difficult at night. There were no mobile phones, no computers, not even a magazine. All I could do was sleep.
When others turn off the lights at night and have nothing to do, you can still do something you love with your wife.
But Lin Sanqi is a bachelor. Apart from exercising his right arm with the fifth girl, there is really nothing to do. It is very boring, lonely, empty and cold.
But he didn't dare to travel frequently. The time difference was too difficult to adjust, and a bad move could easily lead to schizophrenia.
After playing with her phone for a while, Lin Sanqi looked at the clock on her phone and found that her parents were still not back at noon, so she made a call to ask.
"Hey, Dad, where are you? Oh, you're supervising the decoration of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in May Square. Where's grandma? In the ancestral hall, okay, I'll go take a look."
Lin Sanqi knew what her mother was doing at the ancestral hall.
The Lin family's cordyceps workshop is located there. As the owner, Wang Wenjuan must supervise the work anytime and anywhere.
Even though they are all sisters-in-law of the same family, even if the salary is 1,000 yuan a day, if the guarantee is not enough, some people have dirty hands and feet. A Cordyceps cordyceps can cost a few hundred yuan. Money is still easy to attract people's hearts. There is no need to test human nature. The master has to keep an eye on it at all times.
Fortunately, due to the rules of the Lin family and the pressure of the vicious Uncle Lin, if ordinary workers were replaced, half of the Cordyceps could be stolen.
"Mom, where can I have lunch?"
Lin Sanqi walked into the west wing of the ancestral hall and found that the air-conditioning in the room was very strong. 30 village sisters-in-law were cleaning the cordyceps with their heads down and packing them into packages with very skillful movements.
Seeing Lin Sanqi, the "young master", come in, everyone said hello:
"Yeah, Qizai is here."
"Qizai is getting more and more handsome. If you have a girlfriend, I'll introduce you to one."
Lin Sanqi was also thick-skinned, and replied with a smile: "Sisters-in-law, I like beauties. I want all the beautiful girls. One or two is not too much, three or four is about the same."
"Hahaha, there are so many beauties, but Qizai, can you do it?"
"Man, you can't say no. Ah, mom, why are you hitting me?"
Wang Wenjuan slapped her son on the back of the head angrily: "How can you talk to the sisters-in-law and aunties, even if you are young or old?"
Young people like Lin Sanqi are still young when it comes to talking dirty to a group of middle-aged women.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Grandma, I haven't had lunch yet."
"Let's have lunch at the ancestral hall. There is a kitchen here and people have been arranged to cook for us. Your father will be here soon."
Lin Sanqi nodded and walked towards the packaged cordyceps. The exquisite boxes were piled there, like a micro-business warehouse.
When you open a box, you will find transparent plastic tubes inside. Each tube contains a cordyceps. This kind of packaging, coupled with this level of Cordyceps King, gives people a high-end feeling that cannot be afforded.
Wang Wenjuan reminded softly at this time:
"Son, we have cleared out almost 500 kilograms of cordyceps. You see, it is too unsafe to pile them all here. If someone steals a box, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan."
500 kilograms of super-grade Cordyceps King, based on the average market price of 500 grams and 500,000, is hundreds of millions. It is definitely a huge sum of money. No wonder Wang Wenjuan is worried.
Lin Sanqi didn't take it seriously: "Mom, what are you afraid of? The village protection team is right outside the ancestral hall. If anyone who doesn't have a good eye comes to snatch our cordyceps, they won't be able to leave Shilou Village."
Seeing that her son didn't care, Wang Wenjuan rolled her eyes angrily:
"I'm not just afraid of being thrown away, but I'm also worried that if you pile up Cordyceps so haphazardly, the storage conditions won't be up to par. If it gets bitten by mice, or becomes moldy due to moisture, the loss will be huge."
"Hey, yes!"
Lin Sanqi started to pay attention to it at this time. The south is rainy and humid, and it is indeed easy for mold to breed over time. Turning on the air conditioner every day is not a long-term solution.
For a short period of time, these cordyceps can be stored in his "passage space", but as Lingnan Hall's business grows later, it is obviously impossible for him to become a "mobile warehouse" on call.
What's more, he often disappears and travels to 1959, so he can't even get through on the phone.
The plan could not be changed. The previous layout was still too small. The two-story photography building in Plaza de Mayo could be used as a medical center, but the area and scale were destined not to be used as factories and warehouses.
While Lin Sanqi was still thinking, Uncle Lin walked in from outside.
"Hey, Qizai, you're here, just in time. Call your dad over quickly. There's something good going on."
Lin Sanqi quickly helped Uncle Lin sit down and asked respectfully: "Grandpa, what's the good news? Has the country given me a wife?"
Uncle Lin was so angry:
"You kid, do you only have women in your mind? You can't think about how to make a lot of money. When you have money, what kind of women will you not have? You can choose all the flowers." Lin Sanqi said casually:
< br>
"Yes, yes, yes, you should learn from the grandfather, one wife, five concubines, six wives, six or six wives, this is a real man."
Uncle Lin snorted contemptuously:
"Boy, your great-grandfather was also a well-known figure in the thirteenth industry in Guangzhou back then. Although he is not as good as Pan Youdu, Lu Guanheng, Wu Bingjian, and Ye Shanglin, he was also one of the famous Eight Tigers and the largest drug dealer in Huadu. Business.
You and your father are just a small traditional Chinese medicine clinic in our Shilou Village. At most, you are the largest drug dealer in the village. Not to mention that the entire Tianhe is covered with flowers, so you still need to work hard.
It's not impossible to have six wives, but a man's ambition must match his own strength. Otherwise, others will only regard you as a braggart, which will affect your reputation. Who will do business with you in the future? ”
Guangzhou's "Thirteen Banks" can be regarded as foreign traders officially chartered by the Qing Dynasty. Officially authorized "Thirteen Banks" merchants to trade with foreign businessmen and pay customs duties on their behalf,
It controls 13 foreign trade industries including jewelry, cotton cloth, porcelain, silk, hoops (bean cakes), cast tripods, sugar, silk thread, fish, paper, tea, and shipbuilding.
As for the bosses and managers of the Thirteenth Bank, they are called "red-top businessmen" at best, or "compradors" at worst, the kind of people who are full of loyalty...
The ancestors of the Lin family were the largest traders of Chinese medicinal materials in Huadu, and they were also figures. However, during the Qing Dynasty, few Chinese medicinal materials were exported to foreign countries, mainly rhubarb.
Due to the limited variety and quantity, it eventually failed to become a big trend. By Lin Sophora's generation, Lingnan Hall had completely declined.
I can only imitate Ah Q: Whose ancestors have never been rich?
Lin Musen also walked into the ancestral hall from the construction site at this time. When he heard Uncle Lin lecturing his son, he just smiled:
"Grandpa, the kid is ignorant, so don't argue with him. You said there was something good on the phone. What good thing is it?"
Only then did Uncle Lin think of business:
"Ah Sen, do you remember the Xiangjiang Miao Chun Tang where I bought your ginseng last time?"
"Remember, what happened?"
"Master Wu from Miaochundang called. They heard that you have a batch of top-quality Cordyceps sinensis and are interested in buying it, so they are going to cross the border and come to Huadu tomorrow. Please prepare."
Miao Chun Tang is the Xiangjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic that bought a branch of 80-year-old wild ginseng from the Lin family during the Dragon Boat Festival. It is quite powerful and influential in Xiangjiang.
I had tasted the benefits of buying wild ginseng before. This time I heard Lin Minghe mention that his relatives back home in the mainland had obtained another batch of cordyceps king, so he intended to build a good relationship with the Lin family and buy another batch back.
Top Chinese medicine clinics such as Xiangjiang Ruijun Tang and Miao Chun Tang cater to the top wealthy clients. In addition to their superb medical skills, they also use the best medicinal materials.
Whoever can master the top medicinal materials can become the leader of the traditional Chinese medicine community in Xiangjiang!
Wang Wenjuan also prepared the meal at this time, and said to Uncle Lin respectfully: "Grandpa, please stay and have lunch together."
"No, no, I'm here to tell you, it's better to go home and eat. What's good for work lunch?"
At this time, Lin Sanqi came out with a yellow clay pot and opened the lid without saying a word. A fresh fragrance filled the whole room.
Uncle Lin sniffed twice and looked at the pot in surprise:
“Qizai, why do I smell the smell of Buddha jumping over the wall, and it’s so authentic~~”
Lin Sanqi deliberately brought the Buddha over the wall to Uncle Lin's nose to show off a few times, and boasted:
"Grandpa, this is made with the best ingredients. Look at the isinglass, we use golden anchovy maw, the abalone uses Nanri two-headed abalone, the shark fin uses Tianjiu fin, and the sea cucumber uses 10 Liaoning cucumbers. And this fish lip, this ham, this..."
Uncle Lin's mouth watered when he heard this, and he asked doubtfully:
"Really? These ingredients can't be bought with money. If you dare to lie to grandpa, grandpa will blow your head off."
Lin Sanqi handed over a spoon and said flatteringly like a little eunuch in the palace:
"Grandpa, try it, try it!"
This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was purchased by Lin Sanqi in 1959 when there were only three remaining restaurants in Hu Jian Province. It uses top-quality materials and authentic craftsmanship. It has become the swan song of an era.
Uncle Lin took a bite, and his eyebrows almost fell off when he tasted it. People in Huadu love to eat it, and Uncle Lin is an even bigger fan:
"Well, the soup is delicious and the texture is soft. I have never tasted such delicious Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. The ingredients are so good. Qizai, which restaurant is this from?"
Lin Sanqi boasted: "I researched this Buddha Jumping Over the Wall based on ancient methods. The ingredients alone cost a lot of money. Even my dad's grandma has never tasted it. She was the first to eat it for grandpa. ”
Uncle Lin was obviously very satisfied with Lin Sanqi’s attitude and burst out laughing:
"Okay, okay, you are such a good grandson. You are the most filial grandpa in the whole village."
Lin Musen's team is not doing well. If the Lin family wants to develop their career, they must find a backer.
Relying on outsiders is dangerous.
If you don't have the ability, you will eventually become someone else's money bag and a weakling. When you are of no use, you will be kicked away by your backers, or even become a scapegoat.
For example, a certain belt guy who sang "Tears Behind Bars" in prison...
Lin Musen and Lin Sanqi's strategy was very simple, which was to hug the patriarch, Grandpa's thigh, so that Grandpa's connections could become their connections.
No, Xiangjiang guests were attracted by grandpa. (End of chapter)
