Among the five employees who were finally selected to learn how to make Iron maple bucket, two of them were security guards and three of them were greenhouse workers.
Among the veterans, Qin Xiaojun, who was the first batch to come to the farm, also signed up and passed the selection.
Qin Xiaojun majored in explosives in the army. He fiddled with all kinds of explosives, timers, mines, and so on all day long. After working on the farm, the things that the other three learned could still be used in local work, but his specialty was basically useless. It was the least practical.
Therefore, although Xia Ruofei promoted Qin Xiaojun to be a small squad leader, he still decided to sign up after thinking about it. Even if he learned how to make Iron maple bucket, his salary wouldn't be much better.
Xia Ruofei, Lei Hu, and the other veterans naturally wouldn't object. Anyway, they were all working on the farm, and it was good for Qin Xiaojun to learn one more skill.
Xia Ruofei always trusted his old comrades in the army more, so he also appointed Qin Xiaojun as the person in charge. The group of five people going to Jiangzhe Province was led by Qin Xiaojun.
Qin Xiaojun and the others naturally took the bullet train faster than Xia Ruofei.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei asked Qin Xiaojun and the others to find a hotel to stay in after arriving at Qiantang. Of course, all expenses would be reimbursed by the company.
He sped all the way with Master Luo. At noon, they had a simple meal in the high-speed service area, and finally arrived at Qiantang City after three o 'clock in the afternoon.
Xia Ruofei directly took Master Luo with him and drove to Qiantang Tong Ren Tang Pharmacy under the guidance of the GPS.
Tong Ren Tang's Boss Lin had been waiting in the store for a long time.
As soon as Xia Ruofei got out of the car, Boss Lin, who had been eagerly waiting, greeted him warmly, "Brother Xia, you've had a hard journey!"
When he saw Xia Ruofei's car, his eyes couldn't help but light up and say, "Brother Xia, this car is really good! If I'm not wrong, it should be a limited edition Knight XV, right? "
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "It seems so … I don't know much about cars."
Hearing this, the enthusiasm on President Lin's face became even more intense.
Although it was a little tacky to judge a person's identity by their house, car, and clothing, the fact that Xia Ruofei was able to drive a limited edition Knight XV that cost tens of millions still shocked Boss Lin greatly. At least, Xia Ruofei's financial strength was once again proven, and it also greatly increased Boss Lin's confidence in further cooperation.
"Boss Lin, I didn't keep even a single ounce of the Iron maple bucket this time. It's all in the car!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you!" Boss Lin said happily. "Thank you, Brother Xia!"
After saying this, Boss Lin quickly called the shop assistant over and removed the large bag of Iron maple bucket from the trunk of the Knight XV.
Boss Lin personally led Xia Ruofei and Master Luo into the back of the pharmacy.
"Boss Lin, let's take a look at this first!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "If the quality of the herbs isn't up to your standards, just tell me directly. I'll bring it back. After all, I'm mainly here for the party."
Boss Lin quickly said, "Brother Xia, don't joke around! When have you ever sold anything that wasn't high quality? How could it not be up to standard? "
Although he said this, Boss Lin quickly signaled the appraiser beside him to open the bag and check the Iron maple bucket that Xia Ruofei brought.
The appraiser was also an old acquaintance. When Xia Ruofei first came here to sell wild ginseng, Old Doctor Huang was in charge of appraising it.
Old Doctor Huang smiled at Xia Ruofei in a friendly manner. He then opened the bag and grabbed a handful of Iron maple bucket.
When the Iron maple bucket was presented to Boss Lin and Old Doctor Huang, both of them opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Old Doctor Huang immediately moved the Iron maple bucket closer to take a look. Boss Lin immediately squatted down and grabbed another handful from the bag to take a closer look.
Xia Ruofei and Master Luo looked at each other and smiled. They then looked at the two of them calmly.
Boss Lin and Old Doctor Huang looked at it repeatedly for a long time. Old Doctor Huang's eyes lit up. He brought the Iron maple bucket closer to his face and took a deep sniff. Suddenly, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face. Then, he carefully tore off a piece and put it into his mouth to chew.
After a while, Boss Lin and Old Doctor Huang exchanged a look.
Old Doctor Huang nodded slightly and said, "Boss Lin, Boss Xia's Maple Bucket is undoubtedly the best. It's even better than the special-grade ones we sell!"
Boss Lin was in charge of the branch in Jiangzhe Province. Iron maple bucket was a specialty of Jiangzhe Province, so naturally, he knew a lot about it.
After pondering for a moment, Chief Lin opened his mouth and said, "Brother Xia, you've given me a difficult problem..."
Xia Ruofei was stunned. He smiled and asked, "Big Brother Lin, why do you say that? Is it because of the store's funds … "
Boss Lin quickly said, "No, no, we have plenty of funds! Brother Xia! I'm troubled by how to price this batch of Maple Bucket for you! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "That's easy! Big Brother Lin, you've seen this batch of Maple Bucket too. You can price it however you want. I'm sure you won't let me suffer a loss! "
Boss Lin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm worried that you'll suffer a loss, so … Brother Xia, I'll tell you the truth! The quality of this batch of Iron maple bucket is beyond our expectations. We've never bought such high-quality Maple Bucket before. We don't even have a reference price … "
Master Luo couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Although he knew that this batch of Maple Bucket was of high quality, he still felt a sense of accomplishment as the creator of this batch of Maple Bucket after hearing it from the mouth of Tong Ren Tang's Boss Lin.
Boss Lin thought for a while and said, "Brother Xia, how about this? I'll take up a little more of your time. I'll contact the Provincial Medical Academy's Pharmaceutical Research Institute right away and send this batch of Maple Bucket samples for a comprehensive test. I have a few friends in the institute, so I'll ask them to take special care of it. The results should be out by today! With the test report, we'll have enough basis to set the price! "
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and nodded. "That works too. Big Brother Lin, if you don't mind, we'll do as you say! "
Boss Lin said happily, "Okay, okay, okay, Brother Xia, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away. You and this master can have some tea in my office first …"
Boss Lin arranged for someone to get a few samples, then called his friends who worked at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute. After all the arrangements were made, Boss Lin personally went to the office to wait with Xia Ruofei and Master Luo while making tea.
Even though Boss Lin had a lot of connections and the Pharmaceutical Research Institute was willing to take special care of it for him, it still took time to turn on the equipment, warm it up, test it, and produce a report.
The three of them waited until evening, but the results still hadn't arrived. So, Boss Lin simply ordered the staff to go to a nearby hotel to pack some food and wine. He then had dinner with Xia Ruofei and Master Luo in his office.
At around seven o 'clock in the evening, Boss Lin's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, immediately put down his wine glass, stood up, and picked up the phone. "Hello, Huang … That's great, that's great! I've really troubled you this time … Hey, hey, hey, okay! I'm in the office … Okay … Thank you! Thank you! "
Boss Lin hung up the phone and said to Xia Ruofei happily, "Brother Xia, the results from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute are out. The report will be faxed over right away!"
After saying that, Chief Lin opened the office door, stuck his head out, and called Old Doctor Huang over.
Boss Lin came to the desk. His fax machine rang and automatically gave a signal. After a while, a piece of paper was slowly spat out with a buzzing sound.
Boss Lin couldn't wait to pick up the fax paper. He glanced at it and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
Old Doctor Huang also put on his reading glasses and leaned over to take a look. His whole body suddenly turned to stone as he muttered, "This … this index is … too abnormal …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Brother Lin, is there a problem with my product? "
Boss Lin came back to his senses and handed the report to Xia Ruofei. He said, "Brother Xia, there's no problem with your product. It's just that the index is too crazy. It scared me and Huang … Look at the index of Dendrobium Polysaccharide."
Xia Ruofei took the report and glanced at it. The content of Dendrobium Polysaccharide was on the top line. Xia Ruofei saw at a glance that there was a number written behind it — 40.6%.
"Forty-one%?" Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "Brother Lin, I don't know much about this. Is this number very high?"
Master Luo was shocked when he heard this. He quickly came over to take a look. Then, he couldn't help but rub his eyes. After confirming that he wasn't mistaken, he exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
"Master Luo, you're shocked too, right?" Boss Lin said with a smile, "If it's just a sample, it's fine. Look at the bottom half of the report. The five samples we sent over all had similar results. The difference was no more than 3%."
Master Luo scratched his head and said, "Boss Xia, the raw materials of this batch of Dendrobium Iron Bark are indeed very high quality, but I didn't expect the final product to have such a high index. This is really …"
Xia Ruofei was confused. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lin, Master Luo, don't keep me in suspense. I'm the only outsider here. Are you guys trying to play riddles with me?"
Boss Lin laughed and said, "Brother Xia, the content of Dendrobium Polysaccharide is an important indicator to verify the quality of an Iron maple bucket. The national standard is that the polysaccharide content must be at least 25%. Currently, the best Iron maple bucket on the market has about 30% polysaccharide content. There are only a few special-grade products in our shop, and the best one can reach 35%. This is already the best quality in recent years."
Boss Lin glanced at the report in Xia Ruofei's hand and continued, "After the polysaccharide content reaches 35%, it's already amazing if it doesn't increase by 0.1%. You actually increased it by 5%! To be honest, in all my years in the industry, I've never seen a Dendrobium Maple Bucket with a polysaccharide content above 40%! "
Master Luo nodded heavily and agreed with Boss Lin's point of view.
Doctor Huang also added, "Boss Xia, not only is the polysaccharide content of your batch of Maple Bucket high, but the other components, such as dendrobium alkali and dendrobium amine, are also far better than our special-grade products. This is really an eye-opener for me!"
Hearing this, Xia Ruofei finally showed a relaxed smile and said, "In layman's terms, the quality of my Iron maple bucket is very good, right?"
"It's not just very good!" Boss Lin immediately said, "It's the best of the best!"
"Then I'm relieved. You guys are making me nervous!" Xia Ruofei laughed and said half-jokingly.
Boss Lin also smiled a little embarrassedly, then asked with a hint of nervousness, "Brother Xia, this batch of Iron maple bucket, you promised to sell it to us, right?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Big Brother Lin, don't worry about it! I've already shipped it here, I can't take it away, can I? "
Boss Lin let out a long sigh of relief and said, "That's great! Brother Xia, this batch of Maple Bucket … Qiantang Tong Ren Tang is willing to buy it all. The price is … 150,000 Huaxia dollars per kilogram. What do you think? "
Xia Ruofei was stunned and asked, "Big Brother Lin, if I remember correctly … the last time I came to your shop, Boss Hu bought Iron maple bucket from you for 100,000 dollars per kilogram, right? The price you're offering … "
Boss Lin laughed and said, "Last time, Boss Hu only bought a first-class bucket. The price of a special-grade bucket is higher than that. Brother Xia, let me be honest with you. 150,000 Huaxia dollars per kilogram … is about 30% higher than the price we're offering for a special-grade bucket. This price is also based on the various indicators of this batch of Maple Bucket. After all, we've never bought such a high-quality Iron maple bucket before. "
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, since Big Brother Lin has said so, then we'll trade according to the price you mentioned!"
Boss Lin was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Brother Xia!"
He immediately ordered his staff to come in and take the whole bag of Iron maple bucket to be weighed. Xia Ruofei and the others also followed.
Tong Ren Tang's scales were very accurate. After all, some of the herbs they bought were very expensive. For example, the Iron maple bucket this time was worth thousands of dollars.
After weighing, Xia Ruofei's batch of Iron maple bucket weighed 136.4 kilograms, which was a total of 20.46 million Huaxia dollars.
Although Xia Ruofei already had a rough idea, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he received such an exact amount of sales.
This was only the first batch! It brought in a profit of 20 million.
The Taoyuan Company's financial pressure was suddenly gone. The farm's infrastructure needed more than enough money, so he didn't need to pay the winery dividends in advance.
Xia Ruofei also calculated the growth cycle of the Dendrobium ironhide. Basically, it was more suitable to harvest it once every three years. Therefore, taking into account the difference in the flow of time, it was about a month to a month and a half.
After this batch of Dendrobium ironhide was planted in the space, Xia Ruofei basically had zero costs. The only thing he needed to pay was the workers' wages. Compared to the profits from selling the Iron maple bucket, this was simply a drop in the ocean. It was basically negligible.
To be able to earn more than 20 million in just over a month, it was too easy to earn money! It was comparable to a money printing machine!
Xia Ruofei had a clear understanding of the preciousness of the Ring-Tu space once again.
After both parties confirmed the weight of the Iron maple bucket, Boss Lin said to Xia Ruofei, "Brother Xia, let's sign the purchase contract first! This is a big sum, so I have to ask the head shop tomorrow before I can transfer the money. Is that okay? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. How can I not trust Big Brother Lin?"
In fact, Xia Ruofei wasn't worried that Boss Lin would cheat him of his money. With his current means, even if Boss Lin went back on his word, he had countless ways to get his things back and teach Boss Lin a lesson that would leave a lasting impression.
"Thank you, Brother Xia!" Boss Lin rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Xia, I still have something to ask of you."
"Don't mention it, go ahead," Xia Ruofei said with a gentle smile.
"I remember you said last time that you could purchase a batch of this quality of Dendrobium ironhide every two to three months, right?" Boss Lin's eyes were filled with anticipation as he asked, "Brother Xia, do you think … Can we establish a long-term cooperation mechanism? In the future, all the Dendrobium ironhide produced by your company will be purchased by Qiantang Tong Ren Tang? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "Big Brother Lin, can you guys handle so many Iron maple bucket?"
Boss Lin quickly said, "You don't have to worry about that. Brother Xia, I won't hide it from you. Currently, in the domestic market, Iron Sheet Maple Dipper has always been in high demand. Especially high-quality goods like yours, there's a price but no supply. A few hundred kilograms or even one or two tons per year is nothing! Moreover, Iron maple bucket is selling very well internationally. Even if there's a lot of it in the future, we can definitely export it! "
Actually, Qiantang Tong Ren Tang alone would not be able to purchase so many goods. After all, this store's influence was limited. However, Tong Ren Tang was a national chain pharmaceutical giant with a perfect sales network. If Boss Lin could purchase such high-quality Iron maple bucket, the main store in Beijing would definitely welcome him with open arms.
Moreover, once a long-term cooperation agreement was reached, this would definitely be the most outstanding political achievement in Boss Lin's career. It would only be a matter of time before he would be promoted to an important position. That was why he was so concerned about this matter.
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment. This Boss Lin gave him a good impression. He valued integrity when doing business and he was also quite friendly. At least in the process of dealing with him, Xia Ruofei did not feel uncomfortable.
Since he was going to sell the Iron maple bucket and Boss Lin was interested in purchasing it, why wouldn't he do it with such a perfect sales channel like Tong Ren Tang?
With a monthly income of twenty million, Xia Ruofei naturally would not reject the money.
