Vol 2 Chapter 365: Get medicinal materials at low prices
Li Duoyu really didn’t expect that Manager An and the others would be so efficient and prepare the medicinal materials for him so quickly.
But it’s understandable.
Old foxes like them in the workplace are generally not too eager for quick success and quick gains, and are anxious to show their strength.
Under normal circumstances, if he promises to get it done for you at noon, he will usually have it done in the morning.
This approach has many benefits. One is that it leaves a buffer time for yourself, and when the time comes, if you complete things early, it will bring surprises to the other party.
After meeting, some surprised and respectful words must be dealt with naturally, otherwise it will be a bit inappropriate for his age.
Li Duoyu glanced at the medicinal materials in the back of the car. It was full. Six hundred kilograms of Chinese medicinal materials were enough to hold 17 or 18 bags of fertilizer.
The medicinal materials are all sun-dried and are not very heavy. It is estimated that one hundred kilograms of Artemisia annua would need to be packed in several fertilizer bags.
While saying hello, Li Duoyu noticed that although Manager An and Xiao Lin were smiling, the word "tired" was written on their faces.
Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask: "Manager An, did you stay up all night last night?"
An Yuliang replied: "I didn't stay up all night. I still slept a little, but I'm older and can't compare with you young people."
“Manager An looks very young.”
“I have a lot of gray hair, and my children are older than you, so they are still young.”
Li Duoyu glanced at the fresh dirt on the tires and already guessed that purchasing medicinal materials was not as simple as imagined.
“By the way, Manager An, how much do these medicinal materials cost?”
An Yuliang took out a handwritten list from his coat pocket: "Director Li, the prices are all above, please take a look."
Different from many businessmen, Manager An is not the kind of person who likes to take credit. When we meet, he talks about how difficult it is to acquire medicinal materials.
Because of this matter of yours, I traveled to so many places and didn’t sleep all night.
After seeing Li Duoyu read the quotation, An Yuliang continued: "Director Li, please see if the price is suitable. If not, we can continue to negotiate with the medicinal material dealer."
Li Duoyu glanced at the unit price of each Chinese medicinal material. The price of each medicinal material was different, and most of them cost more than one yuan per catty.
The more expensive ones are Chinese medicinal materials that are not available locally, such as cork cypress and betel nut.
with Artemisia annua, Guanzhong, Neem, and Baibu can be found in the mountains, and the price is relatively cheaper.
The total cost of a whole cart of medicinal materials is only more than 900 yuan, which is less than 1,000 yuan. Compared with the price quoted by the herbal medicine shop on the street, it is really much cheaper.
Li Duoyu estimated that if he bought this cart of medicinal materials at a herbal shop on the street, he would have to pay at least double the price.
It can be said that Manager An not only did not earn a single cent by helping him do this, but also spent his own time on it.
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Thank you so much. The price you gave me is so affordable."
Xiao Lin on the side chuckled and said: "The flavors of yellow cypress and neem are delivered from the factory, so they have to be calculated based on the ex-factory price, otherwise we can lower the price for you."
“No need, it’s already very low.”
Xiao Lin said: "By the way, Director Li, have you sailed over? If not, we can also arrange for you to send you to the island directly. However, our unit has to apply for a boat one day in advance, and it may not be delivered until tomorrow." ”
"No need to bother, I'm sailing the boat. If you continue to be so polite, I'll be embarrassed."
“We should do this. If you have a boat, I will help you carry the medicinal materials to the boat.”
“It’s really not necessary.”
An Yuliang smiled and said: "Director Li, you don't have to be polite to Xiao Lin. Just order him around and let him do more work. He can't drive a car or a boat. He even wants me to help him find a partner. He won't let him do it." Do some work, I feel unbalanced."
Seeing that his boss exposed his shortcomings, Lin Haiqing was a little embarrassed: "I am obviously very popular, but you insist on introducing me."
An Yuliang said disgustedly: "Didn't I introduce you well? Even if you are on a blind date, you will be so nervous that you will talk nonsense and grab someone's hair."
Lin Haiqing frowned and said helplessly: "I can't help it. There are always things people are not good at. I'm just not good at chatting with women."
“Why are you not good at eating?”
…”
Next, with the help of Xiao Lin, the two of them walked directly towards the dock carrying a bag of Chinese herbal medicine.
As soon as Lin Haiqing, the "Little God of Wealth" arrived at the dock, many fishmongers who had no fish left in their hands rushed to lick it.
“Manager Lin, what are you carrying? It’s so heavy. Do you want me to help you?”
“No need, I can do it myself.”
Even though Lin Haiqing refused, these enthusiastic fishmongers had already helped him carry the snakeskin bag.
“Manager Lin, which ship should these things be moved to?”
Lin Haiqing, who suddenly had nothing on his shoulders, saw Li Duoyu who was still carrying Chinese medicinal materials and asked: "Director Li, please give me the things. Which ship should we move the things to?"
Li Duoyu pointed to the fishing boat parked near the pier and said, "Move to the white one."
Lin Haiqing was shocked when he saw the boat. He noticed the boat when he first arrived at the dock today.
“Director Li, this boat really belongs to you.”
Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."
There were several fishmongers nearby. After hearing Li Duoyu’s exact answer, they couldn’t help but say: Damn it.
This white fishing boat and its owner have definitely been the hottest topic at Rongcheng Pier these two days. Many fishmongers already know Li Duoyu’s true identity. But to them, Li Duoyu was the village director who was unlucky.
Envy and envy, but they feel like that, after all, in their eyes, those fishermen are even more powerful, and they do not have to ask them to acquire seafood.
As city dwellers, they still have a sense of superiority and often call coastal fishermen “fish catchers” in private.
Those Dan people are called "crooked legs" by them, because the Dan people often live in very short houseboats, and over time, bow legs appear.
What they didn’t expect was.
Even the "Little God of Wealth" lowered his dignity and took the initiative to help him, a young village director, carry medicinal materials. This made everyone think more and more wrong.
Some people were so shameless on the spot that they didn't even know what to call them: "Director Li Duoyu, let me help you move."
Li Duoyu was a little puzzled when the other party called out his name. In fact, he was really not familiar with the fishmonger at Rongcheng Wharf.
“Do you know me?”
“Of course I do, you are quite famous here. We read the newspaper and see you often.”
Li Duoyu smiled and said nothing. A few days ago, the fishmongers didn't even recognize him.
The group of fishmongers who wanted to curry favor with Lin Haiqing "snatched" the Chinese medicinal materials from Li Duoyu's shoulders and helped move them to the fishing boat.
A total of four people came to help, and it only took three trips to finish moving the medicinal materials in the back of the truck.
This made Li Duoyu realize that Manager An and Xiao Lin still have quite a lot of power. If they really want to cooperate with a fishmonger, it may not be as simple as making a little money.
After moving the herbs, Li Duoyu paid for them on the spot and secretly stuffed a hard-earned fee into it. Unexpectedly, Manager An had already guarded against him, so he counted the money on the spot.
“Hey“
“Director Li, you seem to have made a mistake and gave me ten more tickets.”
"That's it." Li Duoyu had no choice but to take the money back. Since he was in a hurry to go back to treat the eel, Li Duoyu stopped chatting with Manager An and the others.
Now he has to race against those parasites if he can cure the eel before the ringworm breaks out.
That was his victory.
And in this summer weather, for every hour wasted, thousands of eels in the eel pond will be infected.
After paying the parking fee.
The fishing boat slowly left Rongcheng Pier. Li Duoyu wanted to ask Shitou to get up and eat steamed buns, but saw him huddled in the corner, sleeping quite deeply.
Li Duoyu covered him with a blanket, then drove the fishing boat back to Dandan Island.
On the pier.
A group of people looked at the fishing boat breaking through the water, with envy and jealousy on their faces.
“This boat must be very enjoyable to sail.”
“Is raising kelp really that profitable? How about we go to Shangfeng Town and build dozens of acres of kelp?”
“You think it’s so easy? I heard someone said that Shangqi Village also raised kelp this year, but it didn’t make a lot of money.”
On a four-wheel agricultural vehicle, Lin Haiqing said: "Boss, do you know who owns the white fishing boat parked at the pier just now?"
“There are plenty of fish.”
"how do you know?"
“You don’t have to tell me, I’ve known it for a long time. You are about the same age as Director Li. In the future, if you go to the island more and walk around with people, maybe they will ask you to take a boat to go fishing in the open sea.”
The circle in Rongcheng is very small. An Yuliang not only knew that the fishing boat belonged to Li Duoyu, he even knew about the incident at Changwei Shipyard. Someone wanted to impound the boat, but it was immediately thrown away.
Even the second generation was forced to leave Rongcheng.
“Boss, why are you in the passenger seat?”
An Yuliang really couldn't help but want to kick him: "Last night, I was the one driving the car, and my waist was too thin. You will be the driver this month."
“Boss, I’m really afraid of driving, especially at night.”
“You’re not afraid, I’ll shoot you, right?”
Lin Haiqing: Woo hoo hoo
“Boss, do you think that if we cooperate well with Director Li next, can we change the general direction of our company?”
“I’ve overthought you. The general direction is not so easy to change. We cooperate with Director Li. It’s just an extra escape route.”
"So, the two of us will still be fired in the future. I heard that after our leadership reorganization is completed, we will be the first to be dealt with."
“That’s not to say that it’s just marginalized at most.”
Lin Haiqing couldn't help complaining: "Boss, do you think there is something wrong with the leadership? They are not making money through existing channels and are engaging in reforms and innovations."
An Yuliang glared and said:
“You’ve been talking more and more recently. Just talk about it outside. When you go back to the company, don’t let anyone hear you.”
“You know, I’m not that stupid.”
