033. Raising funds for poverty relief (4/4)
Lin Hao only woke up from his sleep at eight o'clock.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that Mengyao Bai had already woken up. Her hair was wet as she sat on the sofa. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Lin Hao got up and walked into the bathroom.
After washing up, Lin Hao came out of the bathroom.
"Let's go to the city first, then go to Gangga Village.”
Mengyao asked.
"Go to the city? Why are you going to the city?"
Lin Hao explained speechlessly.
"Of course it's to make money. Don't we need money to help the poor?”
As he spoke, Lin Hao found a bag full of wormgrass and crocus under the bed and walked out of the dormitory.
Bai Mengyao followed him out, her heart filled with doubt.
Money?
What should he do?
The gatekeeper was cleaning the courtyard. When he saw Lin Hao come out, he revealed a smile that all men understood.
"Xiao Lin, you must be exhausted from last night. There's breakfast in the kitchen.”
Lin Hao wondered why Sir System would smile like that, but he didn't ask further.
"Grandpa, the courtyard isn't dirty. There's no need to clean it every day. If you're tired and sick, I'll go eat now.”
The gatekeeper shook his broom and said.
"I'm sick because I'm idle. I can't stay idle.”
Lin Hao couldn't be bothered to persuade him anymore. The old man could do whatever he wanted.
Lin Hao put the bag full of wormgrass into the car and walked into the cafeteria with the blushing Bai Mengyao.
There was millet porridge, steamed buns, salted vegetables, and eggs on the table. It was a very good breakfast.
Lin Hao scooped two bowls of porridge and handed them to Bai Mengyao.
"Why are you blushing?"
Bai Mengyao glared at Lin Hao.
"Sir System misunderstood just now. Can't you tell?”
Lin Hao shook his head in denial.
"I don't know. What misunderstanding?”
Mengyao Bai was speechless. This was the first time she had met such a straight man.
"I misunderstood that we're a couple and asked you if you were tired last night.”
Lin Hao understood. No wonder Sir System smiled.
Looking at Lin Hao, who was eating his porridge without saying a word, Mengyao Bai's heart suffered a huge blow.
Last night, a beautiful woman slept beside him. She was worse than a beast. It could also be explained that she was drunk.
But why wasn't he enthusiastic about her today?
Was she that unattractive?
Almost all the men of the same age that Bai Mengyao had met since she was young were attracted to her.
It was the first time he had encountered someone as straightforward as Lin Hao.
After breakfast, Lin Hao greeted the old man and brought Bai Mengyao to the nearest city.
Lin Hao didn't take the initiative to communicate with Bai Mengyao unless he had something to do. He just drove quietly.
Mengyao Bai couldn't hold it in anymore and started the conversation.
"What's in the trunk?”
Lin Hao answered as he stepped on the accelerator.
"Wormgrass, crocus, sell them to help the poor.”
Mengyao asked.
"How much can you sell that for? Is it enough to help the poor?"
Bai Mengyao's ignorance made Lin Hao very angry.
"That thing is sold by grams and is more expensive than gold. How much do you think it is?”
"It can be sold for at least a few million. It's not impossible for it to be sold for tens of millions.”
Mengyao Bai's mouth was wide open.
The things in those two snakeskin bags were worth millions or tens of millions?
Even if it was filled with RMB, it wouldn't be that much!
"I've heard of these two precious herbs. My grandfather even used that crocus to make tea. I didn't expect it to be so expensive.”
"Where did you get so many of these things?”
Lin Hao turned to look at Bai Mengyao.
"Would you believe me if I said I dug it up on the mountain when I was free?”
Bai Mengyao was a little embarrassed by Lin Hao's stare. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and said excitedly.
"Can you bring me along when you dig next time?”
Lin Hao looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.
"Dream on. There's everything in your dreams.”
Bai Mengyao turned her head away angrily and stopped talking.
Lin Hao was completely speechless.
The roads on the plateau had been repaired by the country. In addition, there were few people and cars, so the road was very easy to walk on.
Lin Hao drove at nearly 200 miles per hour and arrived at Provincial City in less than two hours.
The provincial capital was also known as the Sunlight City. Lin Hao had been here many times before, so he was quite familiar with it.
Due to time constraints, he did not go to the city for a stroll. Instead, he went straight to the medicinal herb street in the suburbs.
He found the largest medicinal herb shop on the street and walked in with the snakeskin bag.
The border area was sparsely populated and had a special climate, so wild and precious medicinal herbs grew there.
All the major Chinese medicine companies had set up purchasing points here.
This was not the season for picking herbs, so there were not many people who came to buy and sell herbs. Only a few villagers came to sell the little herbs they had saved up.
Lin Hao found an empty counter and placed two snakeskin bags on it.
"Help me see how much it's worth."
The cashier opened the bag and took a look. Her eyes immediately widened.
"This is good stuff, and there are so many of them.”
"I'll take you to see our boss. I can't make the decision for such a large number.”
Lin Hao nodded and followed the teller to the office behind the purchase point.
At this moment, a villager took out a package and sold the wormgrass that he had dug up with great difficulty.
"320 RMB per gram? It's too cheap. I didn't sell it even when the neighbor offered me 350 yuan.”
"I definitely won't sell the wormgrass of this quality for less than 350 yuan.”
"350 then. I'll personally give you the highest price, but next time you have something good, you have to come to me to sell it.”
"275 grams, a total of 97,000 dollars. Bank card or cash?”
...
Bai Mengyao was stunned when she heard the conversation between the villager and the cashier.
The tiny wormgrass was worth as much as gold. A small bag was worth a hundred thousand.
In the car, she saw that Lin Hao had a snakeskin bag full of them, and they were much thicker than those tiny wormgrass.
Bai Mengyao had a powerful background, but she had never seen much money.
When one reached a certain position, money was just a tool. Money could not be used in life at all.
What surprised her was not the millions, but the high price of the wormgrass.
......
When they arrived at the office, the cashier knocked on the door and led Lin Hao and Bai Mengyao in.
The office looked very ordinary from the outside, but it was a different world inside. The decoration was very luxurious.
On the sofa next to the expensive solid wood coffee table sat a middle-aged fatty with his head lowered as he played with his phone.
"What is it?"
The cashier reported respectfully.
"Boss, this customer is here to sell medicinal herbs. The quality of the medicinal herbs is very good, and the quantity is not small.”
"It's not easy for us to make the decision, so we need you to see it for yourself.”
After listening to the cashier's report, Fatty's heart skipped a beat.
Business people would not be full of promises. They would more or less pick faults and belittle the quality of the goods to lower the price.
If the cashier said that the quality of the medicinal herbs was not bad, then the quality must be excellent.
"Alright, you may leave first. I will personally receive these two guests.”
Fatty put down his phone and looked up.
Fatty was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Hao and Bai Mengyao holding the snakeskin bag.
"You... Which state media's beautiful reporter are you? You're Lin Hao from the border poverty relief organization, right?”
Lin Hao was surprised that Fatty knew him.
"Yeah, you know me?"
As a public figure, Bai Mengyao had experienced this scene many times.
"Hello, I'm Bai Mengyao."
Fatty rubbed his hands excitedly and said to Lin Hao.
"I saw your news broadcast yesterday. I'm your fan.”
"Was what you said yesterday true? Did he really decide to help the descendants of the Tang Dynasty hero, Wang Xuance, help the poor?”
Lin Hao's head was full of exclamation marks. He didn't expect him to have fans too.
"Of course, I'm just selling medicinal herbs to raise money to help them.”
Fatty picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea for Lin Hao and Bai Mengyao.
"Sit down, sit down and drink some tea. I admire you so much.”
"Yesterday, I wanted to give you some tips to support you and help the people of the Dragon Country at the border. Unfortunately, the live broadcast room doesn't have a tipping function.”
"What a coincidence. We have a chance today.”
"I'll definitely give you the highest price for the medicinal herbs. If this order doesn't make money, just take it that I'm supporting the people at the border.”
Lin Hao took a sip of tea.
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of the people at the border.”
Fatty opened the bag and looked at the things inside.
"F * ck! It's so thick and all of them are insect kings. Are you sure this isn't artificially cultivated caterpillar fungus?”
"Brother, the price of artificially cultivated herbs is not the same as wild ones. The medicinal effects are too different.”
Lin Hao didn't explain and said directly.
"You've been in the business for so many years, but you can't tell the difference between wild labor and artificial labor?”
Fatty smiled embarrassedly.
"Such a high-quality bug. Wild ones are too rare. I was just saying.”
"I'll test it. If it's wild, I'll definitely give you the highest price.”
As he spoke, Fatty took out a magnifying glass from the drawer and observed the wormgrass.
He opened the other bag, and the crocus inside shocked him as well.
In the end, Fatty randomly grabbed Liang Xiaodui's caterpillar fungus and Saffron from the bag and walked out of the office.
"Please wait for a moment. I'll go and check with the equipment again.”
