While Chairman Qiu was discussing the cordyceps business with General Manager Lin Tianhua, the female secretary Yin Lianyi came to serve tea.
"Dr. Qiu, Master Wu, please have tea."
Chairman Qiu didn't care at first. After all, serving tea is a courtesy, but guests don't necessarily drink it. For rich people, the hotel's tea is too inferior or not to their taste.
Just when the scent of tea wafted up, Chairman Qiu and Master Wu sniffed twice unconsciously:
"Hey, pretty girl, this tea is so special, Xinhui tangerine peel tea of high vintage."
As a beauty and a future executive of Lingnan Hall, Yin Lianyi naturally has the right to speak, so she smiled and joked:
"Dr. Qiu, you might as well guess what year this tangerine peel tea is."
In business negotiations, it is always necessary to adjust the atmosphere, and beautiful women are the best adjusters. Chairman Qiu also smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip, and then drank the cup of tea in three sips.
Feeling the mellow taste brought by his taste buds, Chairman Qiu discovered that the tangerine peel already had a medicinal smell in it.
He was also an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and he immediately came to a conclusion.
"Beautiful girl, this tangerine peel is at least 40 years old, or even 50 years old if I'm bold. I'm pretty sure about it."
Yin Lianyi exclaimed as if she was a little admirer:
"Wow, Mr. Qiu has such a good eye. This is made from 50-year-old Xinhui tangerine peel. When Mr. Xiao Lin invited me to drink it, I couldn't drink it. It seems that only an old man like you can discern the truth."
Chairman Qiu felt even happier when he heard the beauty’s praise:
"Haha, it's normal that you young people don't understand tea. But next time you drink 50-year-old tangerine peel tea, you should cherish it. This kind of tea is easily unavailable. Even in our Miao Chun Tang, there are only a few left. Definitely collect it like a treasure.”
Yin Lianyi blinked and looked at Lin Sanqi in a Versailles-like manner:
"Mr. Xiao Lin, don't you have a lot of tangerine peel from these 50 years?"
Lin Sanqi also sang the double act and said: "There are quite a lot of them, cans and cans, but they are all for sale. You can't drink them all as ordinary tea."
Chairman Qiu immediately heard the business story from the conversation between the two:
"Mr. Xiao Lin, are you saying that you still have Xinhui tangerine peel of high vintage? How much is the quantity?"
"There are not many tangerine peels over 50 years old, only 700 kilograms; there are 2,400 kilograms of tangerine peels between 40 and 50 years old; there are about 5 tons of tangerine peels between 20 and 40 years old, and if there are any more, they will be gone."
"So many?"
Chairman Qiu and Master Wu were both shocked. Is the Lin family selling old tangerine peel as Chinese cabbage?
The two looked at each other, both showing some distrust.
Xiangjiang and Dongguang belong to the same cultural circle with the same origin, and they pursue the same things, such as tangerine peel, which is also very popular among the older generation of Xiangjiang people.
But even in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic like Miaochuntang, the 1950-year-old tangerine peel only weighs twenty pounds, and it is usually kept as a treasure.
Good guy, now the Lin family weighs 700 pounds.
If the Lin family said they had 70 billion, it would not be as shocking as if they had 700 pounds of 50-year-old Xinhui tangerine peel. After all, 50-year-old tangerine peel is rare.
Chairman Qiu rolled his eyes and made a request with a smile:
"Wow, Mr. Lin, we also have some 50-year-old Xinhui tangerine peel in Miaochundang, but it is sealed and preserved. I dare not open it. I wonder if you have a whole can of tangerine peel that has been opened? Can you let me see it? .”
Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi also looked at each other and smiled, and the fish took the bait.
Lin Tianhua stood up and made a gesture of invitation:
"Chairman Qiu, we just opened a can of 50-year-old tangerine peel. You can appreciate it for yourself."
Older tangerine peels are kept in a sealed state and cannot be opened easily. Once opened, they generally need to be consumed as soon as possible, otherwise they will easily deteriorate.
There are two clay pots on the table. Just looking at the clay pots, you can tell that they are old things from decades ago.
Lin Sanqi opened the lid, and the fragrance of tangerine peel immediately spread out again, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Chairman Qiu reached out and took out a piece of tangerine peel from the jar, smelled and tasted it, and then nodded repeatedly:
"What a treasure, what a treasure, this tangerine peel is more than 50 years old."
But in fact, Chairman Qiu still doesn't believe that the Lin family can produce so many old Xinhui tangerine peels. Business people are very cautious, fearing that this jar is real and the others are fake.
"Mr. Lin, um, do you still have unopened 50-year-old tangerine peel?"
Lin Sanqi gestured, and Yin Lianyi and Lin Bingqiao took out two more clay pots from the room.
Lin Tianhua introduced: "We only brought three cans this time. These two cans have not been opened yet. We are going to drink them when customers come to the door later."
Chairman Qiu chuckled: "Mr. Lin, I want to win people's love today. Can you sell me a can? How much does this can weigh?"
"What can't be sold? Chairman Qiu likes it, so we'll give you a can."
"Don't dare, don't dare, now 50-year-old Xinhui tangerine peel sells for 2 million Hong Kong dollars per pound in Hong Kong. Let's talk about business first, and then talk about relationships."
Lin Sanqi introduced from the side: "Chairman Qiu, the content of this earthen jar is two kilograms, but it is difficult to estimate the weight now after being preserved for many years."
Chairman Qiu deliberately wanted to test, but he was not short of money, so he waved his hand and said to the secretary: "Transfer money, just think of it as a meeting gift from me to a few children." Lin Tianhua thought to himself, the children in your eyes are Lingnan Don’t be the real boss behind the scenes.
After transferring the money, Chairman Qiu picked one of the clay pots and opened it on the spot. He opened it in person and upon inspection, it turned out to be an authentic 50-year-old pot, or even more than 50-year-old pots.
Because when Lin Sanqi made the acquisition, those over 50 years old were considered a batch, and there was no distinction between 55 years and 60 years.
This unexpected surprise greatly increased Chairman Qiu's confidence in cooperating with the Lin family. Again, in the province and Hong Kong, money is not uncommon, but having so many precious Chinese medicinal materials is called strength.
Lin Sanqi saw that the old man Xiangjiang was in a happy mood, so he continued to recommend:
"Chairman Qiu, we don't just have cordyceps and tangerine peel. Look, these are the top quality isinglass, shark's fin, and abalone. Are you interested?"
"Hey, is this the 40-year-old Kosu goldfish maw?"
"Is this Tianjiu Wings?"
"Single-headed abalone, or southern abalone?"
Several Xiangjiang people became increasingly unable to sit still as they watched. The strength of the Lin family suddenly became unfathomable in their eyes.
Chairman Qiu knew that Miao Chun Tang must firmly hold Lingnan Tang, and both parties must establish a strategic partnership that is exclusive, at least in the Xiangjiang market.
As long as Lingnan Tang regards Miaochundang as Xiangjiang's only partner and continuously provides these top-quality Chinese medicinal materials, Miaochundang may become a reality surpassing Ruijun Tang.
As the saying goes, those who get the top medicinal materials win the world.
The next step is business negotiations. This is Lin Tianhua's home field. Lin Musen, as the nominal boss, naturally also participates.
Lin Sanqi, Yin Lianyi, and Lin Bingqiao were treated as assistants.
Lin Sanqi whispered: "The customer from Xiangjiang gave me 3 million yuan for the jar of tangerine peel just now. I guess the extra money is a red envelope for the meeting. Where should we go to celebrate later?"
Yin Lianyi finally came to her senses, "My dear, such a clay pot of tangerine peel is sold for 3 million? Lin Sanqi, your family is really amazing, becoming the richest man will not be a problem in the future."
Lin Sanqi quickly shook her head like a rattle:
"Forget it, forget it, just be the richest man. It's too dangerous to be the richest man in the country. I still want to live a few more years."
This incident also sounded the alarm for Lin Sanqi. If you want to be the richest man in the country, you have to weigh how much you have. I am afraid that not a small Shilou Village can keep you.
So Lin Sanqi quietly came to Lin Tianhua and said softly:
"Uncle Ten, I would like to add one more item during the negotiation. Let's open an account in a bank in Xiangjiang. All transactions with Miao Chun Tang will be deposited in the bank in Xiangjiang. Don't come back to the mainland."
Lin Tianhua was also an old fox and immediately understood what Lin Sanqi meant, so he nodded slightly.
Yin Lianyi didn't understand, and asked softly:
"Lin Sanqi, if you keep your funds in Xiangjiang, you will not be able to apply for export tax rebates in the mainland. This will be a huge loss."
Lin Sanqi didn't care at all, but reminded:
"In the future, you will be the financial manager. We are also setting up a branch in Xiangjiang. All funds exported to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan or abroad will be placed in Xiangjiang's account and will not be transferred back to the mainland."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of? Others are afraid of not having money. What are you afraid of if you have money?"
"It's just because we are rich that we are afraid. Wealth does not show wealth. Do you understand? If we are targeted by some capital, I am afraid that our whole family will be slaughtered as a fat pig."
Yin Lianyi still couldn't understand, and Lin Bingqiao became even more impatient:
"Brother, Sister Lianyi, don't worry about kissing me. You haven't said where we are going to celebrate in a while?"
"Don't worry, there is a reception dinner in the evening. Let's go to Chaofu Restaurant, which mainly serves Chaoshan cuisine. Chairman Qiu is from Chaoshan. Chaofu's abalone and shark's fin is very famous. The boss has a good relationship with Uncle Ten, and Uncle Ten also goes to talk to them. A business.”
As soon as they heard that there was delicious food, the two women felt happy.
The negotiations there went very smoothly. One had good goods and the other had demand, so a package purchase agreement was quickly reached.
The purchase amount offered by Miaochuntang this time is as high as HK$500 million. This is only the first phase, and additional purchases will be made based on Xiangjiang's sales.
Both parties were delighted.
The company's first big order after its establishment was 500 million, which gave "professional managers" like Lin Tianhua and Yin Lianyi reassurance.
For Lin Sanqi, his time-travel traffic monetization has finally begun to become corporatized and scaled up.
As long as he stays safe in 1959 and continues to deliver the "local specialties" of 1959 to 2023, the prosperity of the Lin family will be visible to the naked eye.
That night, both parties celebrated happily at Chaofu Restaurant.
Also that night, Lingnan Hall won a 10 million yuan test order from Chaofu Restaurant, and the second business was reached...(End of Chapter)
