The annual domestic production of natural musk in 2023 will only be more than 500 kilograms, which is still a breeding figure.
Wild natural musk is almost extinct due to animal protection laws, and it has a price but no market.
Again, the number of wild forest musk deer and horse musk deer in 1960 may have been in the millions, and they were widely found in Xizang, Sichuan, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, Anhui and other provinces, and they were far from being protected animals.
Therefore, although the quantity Lin Sanqi needs is large, it is not a big problem to organize a group of people to capture and collect musk.
As for bezoar, the output is larger. To put it bluntly, it is the gallstones of cattle. I don’t know how our ancestors discovered that this stuff can be used as medicine, and it has become a precious traditional Chinese medicine.
With 10,000 wild ginseng, 2,000 kilograms of musk and 2,000 kilograms of bezoar, Lin Sanqi is indeed a bit of a lion.
It is not impossible that these medicinal materials will be worth at least several billion, or even tens of billions, by 2023. The key is not to worry about selling them and they can be easily cashed out.
Lin Sanqi has made up his mind to collect as many Chinese medicinal materials as possible before the storm comes. It is best to monopolize the entire production of precious Chinese medicinal materials in the country in the past 4 or 5 years.
This way you won’t have to worry about running out of raw materials in the future.
Dean Liu thought for a while and agreed immediately.
Although he is a doctor of Western medicine, he has also heard of the names of these three Chinese medicinal materials, especially 10,000 wild ginseng, which is definitely a very huge number.
"Comrade Xiaolin, I need to ask my superiors about this. Please wait for me for a while."
Lin Sanqi nodded, "Okay."
Dean Liu showed his ID and came to the confidential room of Tianjin Port, where there is a red phone.
The phone was connected and a dignified old man's voice came:
"I am Jing Qisheng."
"Leader, I am Liu Shengli."
"Oh, Xiao Liu, how are you? Have you seen the goods? Are those machines really what we urgently need?"
"Leader, I have seen the machines. Although they are all second-hand goods, they are all the most advanced abroad and are in great need for our scientific research and clinical practice. I have never even seen some of the machines. Obviously we are blocked and ignorant. .
I made preliminary calculations and found that these equipment are enough for us to put together dozens of laboratories, and even two or three virus laboratories. So in my personal opinion, this batch of equipment obtained by Comrade Lin Sanqi is definitely worth our time. purchase. ”
On the other end of the phone, Leader Jing was silent for a while, and then the voice continued:
"How much do you estimate these equipments are worth?"
Liu Shengli had already judged in his mind:
"These equipments are all foreign countries that are unwilling to sell to us. If we come in through Xiangjiang, we probably won't be able to get them for up to five or six million US dollars. This is without killing us."
< br>
If it is smuggled in from Xiangjiang, it may also be ripped off. How can the intermediary who passed it through sell it to you for free and with zero profit?
People took risks and had to manage relationships, naturally to make money. Otherwise, how did Tycoon H get his status as one of the four richest people?
Tycoon H is just the most innocent of the many smugglers, and he doesn't kill many.
However, he has additional compensation from the state, which is an advantage that others do not have.
For example, Tycoon H monopolizes all the building materials and sand and gravel business in Xiangjiang. Anyone who wants to build a house cannot avoid him, allowing him to make huge profits, and no one dares to touch him.
The sand and gravel will not be given to anyone who touches it, so there is no way to build houses and speculate in real estate. However, Xiangjiang has a deformed urban economy with real estate as its pillar.
All I can say is that in China, we really give whatever we want to our foreign friends, or the wealthy people in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and we will never treat them badly. In the end, it turned out to be Sheng Mi En, and it was really not appropriate to fight against Mi En.
Leader Jing smiled bitterly upon hearing this:
"Do you know how much foreign exchange reserves we have now? We can't get out 5 million US dollars even if we kill ourselves. Since these equipment are so precious, what do the other parties need from us in exchange? Do we need gold?"
Liu Shengli squeezed the phone in his hand tightly and quickly explained:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi means the same as before. He needs a large amount of Chinese medicinal materials, not gold or US dollars. What he needs is a larger quantity, 10,000 wild ginseng branches, 2,000 kilograms of musk, and 2,000 kilograms of bezoar. I don’t know if we have enough inventory?”
When Leader Jing heard this, a smile appeared on his face:
"Haha, just don't need gold and foreign exchange. It means that this guy, or the organization behind this guy, should be a pure smuggling organization. It only needs to make money and does not involve politics or sensitive materials.
As for the quantity of Chinese medicinal materials they want, it's not a big problem. You don’t know that the Chinese medicinal materials purchased over the years are piled up in the warehouse. They cannot be exported or sold domestically. We finally have a customer, so naturally we cannot miss it. ”
(Planning//Economy, factories have plans every year to produce how many products, farmers also have plans to grow what grains, and ginseng farmers also have plans to purchase ginseng. Even if they cannot be sold, the plans will not change, so the inventory is getting bigger and bigger. Much. )
Liu Shengli was relieved and dared to make a joke:
"Old leader, I think Comrade Lin Sanqi is pretty good. Not only did he get a large amount of equipment this time, but he also gave us an extra 20,000 penicillin, 800,000 units, which can be regarded as alleviating our current shortage of antibacterial drugs."
One bottle of 800,000 yuan of penicillin can be distributed to several wounded people. How many lives can 20,000 bottles of penicillin save?
When Leader Jing heard this, he was silent for a while, and finally sighed:
"Comrades who are investigating his smuggling route, please withdraw. Since he has been expressing goodwill and the smuggled in are our emergency food and medicines, then we can't be confused. What if he is really pushed into a panic? If we leave, we will get nothing.”
If I say I won’t investigate you, do you really mean I won’t investigate you?
Sometimes I don’t touch you because you still have value;
If you really don't use it of value, or step on the red line, what's waiting for you is a thunderous blow.
"Understood, please rest assured, leader, I promise to complete the task."
In the warehouse:
While Dean Liu went out to make a phone call and Dean Tu was still drooling and inspecting the equipment not far away, Dean Shen quietly asked Lin Sanqi:
"You were reckless this time. How could you get so much equipment in one go? Even if you wanted to sell it, you would take it out in batches. You took it out all at once and shipped it to the country. What if your superiors told you to confiscate them all? Do you think you can take it back? ”
Dean Shen still has a clear understanding and does not blindly trust any person or organization.
Lin Sanqi smiled and whispered:
"Uncle Shen, I'm not afraid of this at all. The machine alone is useless. Experiments also require a lot of consumables, such as chemical reagents, biological reagents, petri dishes, culture plates, dyeing consumables, blotting membranes, etc. Without these materials, the machine will be useless. Can't start.
These are currently not produced in China, so they still need to buy from me in the future. We are all smart people, and they will not kill the goose to obtain the eggs. Use what you taught me before, and as long as I still have value, everything will be fine. ”
Dean Shen still felt a little worried when he looked at the equipment in the warehouse:
"It's okay if you do it once in a while, but if the quantity is large and the frequency is high, the nature will be different. What if one day they want you to help with several state-of-the-art machine tools, hammer forging equipment, heat treatment equipment, etc. , what to do?
Even if you are safe at home, you will be targeted by security agencies abroad. Can the smuggling organization behind you ensure your absolute safety? So after this incident, you should settle down for a while and don't let the country become dependent on you. ”
Lin Sanqi chuckled: "Uncle Shen, I thought you would persuade me to serve the country wholeheartedly. I will give whatever the country wants, even if I sacrifice myself."
Dean Shen looked left and right, and then educated him in a low voice:
"There is no problem in helping the country. This is also the obligation of each of us, but we should also do what we can to help the country. The country requires us to provide help, and it needs to be within our capabilities. If it is beyond our capabilities, it will be like that Sacrifice means nothing.”
Lin Sanqi thought to herself that a person like Dean Shen who is sober in the world will definitely not have an easy life in the future...
At this time, the warehouse door opened a crack, and Liu Shengli stepped in.
Seeing the smile on his face, Lin Sanqi knew that the transaction was successful. Although he asked for a lot, he believed that there must be enough inventory in the country to pay for it.
"Xiao Lin, I have already requested it, and the superior has agreed to your request."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, in fact, as long as the superiors are not stupid, they will know that they have made a huge profit from this transaction, because the things he provides cannot be produced domestically and are irreplaceable.
What's more, there are 20,000 penicillins with 800,000 units, which cannot be produced domestically. They are very precious and can save many lives.
If I exchange 20 bottles of penicillin for 1 stick of ginseng, should I exchange it?
Of course I changed it.
Ginseng is for health care, and penicillin is for saving lives. You can pick out both the light and the heavy.
Then just 20,000 bottles of penicillin can be exchanged for 1,000 wild ginseng. This transaction is a sure profit.
In the following days, Lin Sanqi stayed in the guest house at Tianjin Port. After all the equipment was shipped away, all the Chinese medicinal materials Lin Sanqi needed were shipped to the warehouse.
As soon as Lin Sanqi entered the warehouse, she quickly closed and locked the door.
Then a strong smell hit my face, which contained the unique medicinal smell of ginseng and the fishy smell of natural musk.
Lin Sanqi came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine in both eras, and he immediately realized that it is very easy for these rare medicinal materials to be randomly stacked together, which will change the properties of the medicine, which is a taboo in traditional Chinese medicine.
Although the "space channel" can preserve freshness, it does not guarantee that there will be no odor, so it still needs to be sorted out in time.
So Lin Sanqi didn't care about being ecstatic that she had made a huge profit, and quickly took out the sealed plastic boxes one by one, put all the musk in them, and sealed them for storage.
Then there is the natural bezoar. The smell of the new year's bezoar is not very strong. The natural bezoar has a light fragrance, let alone the odor.
1960, April.
The streets of the capital are still busy with people coming and going.
But every passerby has a disheveled look on his face, his face is yellow and thin, and even his steps are frivolous.
Many people leaned against the wall to catch their breath while walking; some people were like stepping on cotton, with one foot deep and one foot shallow; and some people suddenly fell on the side of the road while walking, causing a cry of surprise.
In the past, April was supposed to be a time of spring, but this year the willow branches by the river around the city were still bare.
Don't ask why, if you ask, all the young willow leaves are picked by the citizens to fill their stomachs. There has been no snow or rain all winter, and the drought in the north has worsened. Especially in April, when the harvest is lean, food supply becomes even more difficult.
Many people envy city people, thinking that city people can eat public food and have rations.
But in difficult times, life is actually harder for city dwellers.
Because people in rural areas or mountains can at least dig some wild vegetables, sophora flowers, and fish, shrimps, and loaches in spring. If that doesn't work, they can also cut down some elm tree bark to eat.
There are also some brave mountain people who secretly plant some crops in the deep mountains and old forests, or go to hunt some game for tooth sacrifices. A living person cannot be suffocated to death.
But the people in the city really have nothing but food supplies.
Or you can go to the black market. The problem is that in the black market, you have to have something to trade. You have nothing, not just money. How many kilograms of stick noodles can you exchange for your monthly salary?
Some people are hungry, life is difficult, and they can hardly walk.
Some people are full of joy, humming songs, driving jeeps through the streets and alleys of Sijiu City, looking like playboys. Who doesn’t hate them?
The people see it and remember it in their hearts. After a few years, how can this group of people escape the reckoning?
For example, an employee of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital named Lin...
Lin Sanqi was driving the Jeep with one hand and was in a great mood. She had made billions in one business. How could she not be beautiful? She drove very coquettishly.
He drove into the Dongsi Ertiao alley with a single drift, and knocked on the door of Fu Zuo's house. Some people thought it was a smash on the door.
It's impossible to knock loudly. The Fu family's house was the palace of the prince back then, and now there is no doorman. If you knock softly, the people in the main room can't hear it.
"Old man, open the door, the community is sending warmth~~~"
Mr. Fu was sweeping dust in the yard. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he hurried out and was happy when he saw it was Lin Sanqi.
"Hi, Xiaoqi, why are you here?"
After Lin Sanqi drove the jeep into the garage, Mr. Fu quickly closed the door.
"I came to the city on a business trip today, and I will send you some food by the way. Looking at the look on your face, I guess the family will run out of food again? It's strange, how come your family is so good at eating?"
Lin Sanqi often delivers food and meat to the Fu family. Coupled with their original rations, they should have no worries about food and drink. How can they still look like they are starving to death.
Fu Zuo and Lin Sanqi have been friends for many years now, and they no longer hide anything:
"There are so many relatives at home. Today one is here to beat the autumn wind, and tomorrow the other is here to cry for poverty. I can't close the door and take care of my own food and drink, care about others' life and death, and do nothing to save them? So, hehe."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, what kind of age are we in now? Of course everyone is doing their own thing, but they still dare to help their relatives?
If you dare to save a relative today, countless relatives will come to your door tomorrow. Other people may not have many relatives, but the Aixinjueluo family doesn't have many other relatives. It has many relatives, including Lord Beile and that prince.
Lin Sanqi unloaded the two bags of flour from the car and complained:
"Old man, I can no longer help my relatives. You are posing a problem for me. Will I watch you starve to death or not? If I don't watch you starve to death, then I will have to fill this bottomless pit of yours."< br>
When Fu Zuo heard this, his face turned red. Thinking about it, Lin Sanqi gave him food, but he gave it to others. This was quite unethical.
Isn't this a trap for Lin Sanqi?
"Haha, haven't you just arrived? I have an idea here, but I don't know if it's inconvenient for you?"
Lin Sanqi took another piece of fat from the car and replied casually:
"What's the matter? You said."
"I have also thought that the food you gave me was a gift of love. If I insist on taking more, it will be a waste of our love. As time goes by, the love is gone, and we will break up. , for me the gain outweighs the loss.
So I thought, if you really have a way to get food, can you sell it to my relatives and friends? They have to be allowed to fend for themselves. They can't always rely on me, an old man. What do you think of my idea? ”
Lin Sanqi's eyes suddenly lit up.
I thought that these royal relatives had a lot of good treasures in their hands. It would be nice to get some antiques to play with, but they would be burned in a few years anyway.
The key is that these people still have something that Lin Sanqi needs especially now: gold.
Lin Sanqi wanted gold, and he had to prepare a lot of gold with both hands.
One is that if he suddenly loses the golden finger of time travel, and there are still relatives and lovers in this world, leaving a few boxes of gold can help them get through the difficult years.
Secondly, if their family has to travel to Hong Kong or overseas in a few years, gold is the best hard currency, whether it is for daily needs or for running a factory.
Since you can't get gold from the state, isn't it too much to get some gold from private individuals?
Anyway, the antiques, calligraphy, paintings and gold real estate in the hands of these Manchu survivors will definitely not be saved in the end. It is better to benefit yourself than to benefit others.
"Old man, you also know that I am not interested in money. I am a hospital doctor, why do I need so much money, right? Haha, but, you and I have been friends for many years, so I will definitely help you. ”
Mr. Fu gave a high-five: "Okay, Brother Lin is really generous."
Lin Sanqi waved her hand: "But are you sure that your relatives are willing to exchange their treasures for food? What if someone wants money at the expense of their lives?"
This possibility is very high. The real dandy prince had already ruined his family during the Republic of China.
Since they were able to keep their family property until New China, it means that this group of people must have eight hundred minds. It is probably as difficult as going to heaven to get good things out of the hands of this group of people.
When Mr. Fu heard this, he smiled bitterly:
"In the past, these misers would really not be willing to exchange food, but the times are different. Xiao Qi, think about it, my family is supported by you, and you have to eat every meal, but others don't. It’s not until they are hungry and suffer so much that they realize how precious food is.”
Lin Sanqi thought the same thing. The food crisis actually started in 1958.
In 1958, everyone thought that the crisis would soon pass. However, in 1959, the crisis worsened.
But people definitely don’t give up, thinking that if they survive this year, next year will definitely be fine.
Good guy, the food crisis in 1960 has become more and more serious. How have these nobles of the previous dynasty, who have been hungry for two years, ever suffered like this? My inner defenses have long since collapsed.
"Okay, old man, you can arrange it. Anyone who wants to exchange for food should prepare something. Let me say it first. I only want high-quality antiques, and I won't bring out cheap goods. In addition, what I need is gold. I can eat any amount of gold. .
I don't know much about antiques, because it's difficult to put a price on antiques. Unless they are rare items, there is no need to discuss them. The price of gold is clear. I won’t kill them, but I will exchange grain at the black market price in Sijiu City. What do you think? ”
Mr. Fu thought for a moment, turned around and ducked into the house, and then took out two gold bars, one large and one small.
"Xiao Qi, here is a big yellow croaker and a small yellow croaker. Tell me first, how are you going to exchange for food? I can also explain it to others."
The large yellow croaker refers to twelve gold bars, while the small yellow croaker refers to one tael of gold bars.
According to the weight standard of the Republic of China, 1 city jin is 16 taels, which is equal to 500 grams, so 1 tael is equivalent to 31.25 grams.
This means that the weight of the large yellow croaker gold bar is 312.5 grams, while the weight of the small yellow croaker gold bar is 31.25 grams. It was the favorite of the Fruit Army and the Japanese Osaka Army.
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, this old man has quite a lot of inventory at home, so he just casually took out two gold bars?
"Old man, the current market price of a small yellow croaker is 240 yuan, and the large yellow croaker is 2,400 yuan. Now let's calculate the rice or flour according to the black market price, which is 5 yuan per catty.
One small yellow croaker is equivalent to 50 kilograms of fine grains, and one large yellow croaker is equivalent to 500 kilograms of fine grains. You can rest assured that rice is definitely the new grain this year, and the flour is white pure wheat flour. In addition, if you want to exchange for cooking oil or pork, you can exchange it for the black market price. ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Sanqi is committing extortion. He charges gold at the white market price, and sells grain at the black market price.
But again, you can’t buy food even if you have money.
If you go to the black market, you can exchange a small yellow croaker for 50 kilograms of rice. This is very unlikely.
Gold is actually of no use in troubled times. As shown in the movie, on the way to escape, a gold ring is exchanged for two cornbread. Who will pay you the market price?
Food can save lives, and gold only has its value in prosperous times.
Lin Sanqi is not the Holy Mother. The gold in the hands of these old people and young people was obtained by exploiting the working people. This killing made him feel at ease. It can be regarded as robbing the rich and giving to the poor in another sense, right?
Mr. Fu weighed the gold in his hand and sighed heavily:
"Back in the Republic of China, this small yellow croaker could be exchanged for 480 kilograms of rice. At that time, rich people kept gold in their homes, and even gave gifts only in gold. I always felt that gold would keep its value more and more in the future. As a result, gold It has become a Chinese cabbage.”
Lin Sanqi laughed loudly after hearing this:
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. This gold will always be valuable in the future, but this process may take ten years, twenty years, or thirty years. If you can hold it, you will win. If you cannot hold it, it is better to cherish what you have now. .”
Old Man Fu also laughed: "The most important thing is to survive right now..." (End of Chapter)
