"A hundred-year ginseng? Or is it pure wild goods?"
A young man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Of course, you know that I won't sell non-wild herbs to you.”Zhang Mu said with a smile.
"If you come to the market now, I'll definitely give you the highest price in the market!”
The owner made a decision.
Zhang Mu hung up the phone with a calm expression.
He had long expected this scene.
When he was preparing to sell the rare wild herbs, he had done market research. However, after visiting more than ten shops in a row, the price offered was only 10% to 20% higher than that of the planted herbs. It was a huge scam.
Wild herbs such as wormgrass and Solomon's seal were good stuff and there was no lack of markets. However, he did not know much about it and was easily cheated.
After a summary, he found that most of the wholesalers in the medicinal herb market made money by selling the herbs. He did not provide a lot of herbs. The wholesalers who did not know the herbs were worried about being cheated, and a few who knew the herbs wanted to trick him into picking up the leftovers. The high price could not be high.
For example, a wild ginseng that was more than three hundred years old would suffer a huge loss if it was sold in an ordinary medicine shop.
He could send it to an auction for rich people, but he had no money, no experience, and no connections. It would be hard to explain if he auctioned it too many times.
Therefore, he changed his strategy and set up his own herbal medicine company to be a wholesaler. Then, he personally went to those private large pharmacy.
Heaven paid off. The number one and number two private pharmacy in Hangzhou did not like him, but the third-ranked Qinxiang Hall, which had been passed down for a hundred years, had just been taken over by the young people of the family.
The young man gave the young man a chance, and he successfully took the first step.
In the past two months, the Hang City Changgong Medicinal Company under his name had become famous, but he only cooperated with Qinxiang Hall.
............
Half an hour later, Zhang Mu drove Zhang Yun's red BMW to the Hangzhou Chinese Medicine Market. It was in front of a store that occupied a large area of about 200 square meters.
The signboard at the entrance of this shop had the words "Qinxiang Hall" written on it. The interior was decorated in an ancient style, and the fragrance of herbs permeated the air.
"He's here!"
Just as Zhang Mu got off the car, a young man with a refined appearance and a smile came up to him.
"Huaqing, you have to let me taste your treasured Longjing tea today, right?”
The man's surname was Li, and his name was Huaqing. He graduated from the Imperial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His ancestor was said to be Li Shizhen, the divine doctor of the Ming Dynasty. His family also had the original copy of the Compendium of Materia Medica, but he did not know if it was true or not.
"You're always thinking about my Longjing tea.”
"However, if you really bring a hundred-year-old ginseng this time, I'll give you half a catty.”
Although Li Huaqing said it with disdain, it was obvious that he was joking. Instead, he was very generous. He had a few hundred thousand yuan worth of Longjing tea in his hand. Half a catty was equivalent to a hundred thousand yuan. He gave it away just like that.
"I seem to have discovered another resource that can be used to make huge profits. I can even use it to build connections.”Zhang Mu's eyes flashed.
Drinking tea had existed since ancient times, but brewing tea became popular during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was more used for medicinal purposes and was eaten as bitter medicine.
Just like the marine fishery resources, this was also a virgin land.
In the future, when they built up their forces, the Yunnan Golden Melon Tribute Tea, the Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Da Hong Pao Tea, the West Lake Longjing Tea, the Huangshan Maofeng Tea, and so on would all be owned by the Zhang family.
"Alright, then I'll gladly accept this tea!”
Many thoughts lingered in Zhang Mu's mind for a moment. He followed Li Huaqing into the Qinxiang Hall and went straight to a private reception room on the second floor.
"Elder Li, please be firm!" Zhang Mu sat down on the sofa and placed a pack of wild Chinese Knotweed and other medicinal herbs, as well as a box of ginseng, on the coffee table.
"I don't need you to tell me…" Li Huaqing glanced at the door and shouted,""Old Master, Zhang Mu is here again. There's a good product here. Quickly come and appraise the quality of the medicinal herbs.”
"He's here, he's here. Why are you calling him a god? I'm not deaf.”
Accompanied by a voice full of disdain, an old man with white eyebrows and hair, but in high spirits, wearing a Tang suit, walked into the reception room.
The old man was Li Huaqing's grandfather, Li Xuanchun.
He was a famous Chinese herbal medicine expert in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. His evaluation level was extremely high, and it was said that he had never seen him before.
"Little Zhang, it's been a while since we last met.”Li Xuanchun greeted Zhang Mu in high spirits, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
When Zhang Mu and Li Huaqing got to know each other, the latter had just been set up by someone and caused a small disturbance. It almost damaged the reputation of Qinxiang Hall, and this was the most precious thing of a century-old medicine hall.
It was precisely because of Zhang Mo's first batch of wild medicinal herbs and the subsequent supply that Qinxiang Hall was able to survive.
In a sense, Zhang Mu was indebted to the Li family.。
This was also one of the reasons why he was not afraid of being scammed by the Li family.
"I got some good stuff in the mountains this time, so it took me a long time.”
Zhang Mu's lies came out of his mouth, but Li Huaqing rolled his eyes at him.
You're fairer than a woman, and you still want to enter the mountains?
Who were they lying to?
"Young people are really motivated."
Li Huaqing nodded with a smile and didn't point anything out.
Old people were shrewd and knew that it was best not to get to the bottom of some things. Anyway, it was good for his Li family's Qinxiang Hall to be on good terms with Zhang Mu.
As he spoke, Li Xuanchun began to study the wormgrass and Solomon's seal on the coffee table.
"These are all good things. It's very rare for a pure wild lingzhi to grow this big.”
"These fleeceflower roots are also good stuff. Now, they're so big and wild. There's no sign of artificial cultivation at all.”
"Little Zhang is still as awesome as ever!”
Old Li put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said something trendy.
Hearing this, Zhang Mu smiled.”
"Yes!" Li Xuanchun nodded and gave Li Huaqing a look."These things are all sold at market price.”
The market price was not the market price, but the real price in this industry. It could also be understood as the price set by Qinxiang Hall when selling this medicinal ingredient to the outside world.
It was very easy to not earn money by doing such a deal with Zhang Mu.
However, this was only on the surface.
For the Li family, having these medicinal herbs would be helpful in expanding their influence and connections. They could not be measured purely by money. Moreover, they would never buy and sell only one kind of medicinal herbs.
"Grandfather is right.”Li Huaqing smiled.
It was just a process. He had worked with Zhang Mu many times and there had never been a problem.
"Brother Zhang, how much did you bring this time?”
"There's a bit too much this time, about a hundred catties, and some wild wormgrass.”Zhang Mu said casually.
The Li family's father and son were shocked.
If 100 catties were all wild herbs, they would be considered rare in the modern world. It was not as simple as Zhang Mu said.
However, it was still too early for the two of them to be shocked.
When Li Xuanchun opened the box containing the ginseng, he could not maintain his composure even at his age!
