In his previous life, Chen Changyuan was expelled from the Zhou family. His educated youth girlfriend also became the girlfriend of the Zhou family's biological son, leading to his mental break...
Chen Changyuan said to the three, "Our medicinal materials are of high quality, but the key is to let people see them. Xiaoqiang, be steady when cutting the tablets, don't rush. Aunt Li, make sure everyone sees each step clearly when preparing the medicinal materials. Xiaoli, you need to observe carefully and learn."
The three of them nodded repeatedly, looking nervous and excited.
After arriving at the venue, Chen Changyuan found that Zhang Qinghai was indeed there, chatting and laughing with several drug dealers.
He took a deep breath, led everyone to their seats, and arranged the medicinal samples they brought neatly.
After the conversation began, Chen Changyuan stood up and began to introduce his medicinal materials base.
His voice was clear and logical, and when he got to the key points he used humorous words to make the people present laugh.
"Our Gastrodia elata are large, thick and of excellent quality."
Chen Changyuan picked up a Gastrodia elata plant and said, "Everyone, look at this color and shape. How does it compare to those sold in the city's pharmacies?"
The drug dealers in the audience nodded one after another, and some even stretched their necks to take a closer look.
"But appearance alone is not enough."
Chen Changyuan said with a smile, "Xiao Qiang, come here and show everyone your skills."
Xiaoqiang took a deep breath, picked up the knife and started cutting the pills.
He was skilled with the knife and the tablets he cut were as thin as a cicada's wing and uniform in size.
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.
"This young man's knife skills are probably even more precise than those of the old masters in our city!"
A druggist exclaimed in admiration.
Chen Changyuan smiled and nodded, "This isn't the only specialty of our village. Aunt Li, it's your turn to show off your skills."
Aunt Li walked to the display stand calmly and with a smile on her face.
She skillfully picked up a handful of dried angelica and began to demonstrate the preparation process.
Her movements were smooth and flowing, as if she was dancing an elegant dance.
"Everyone, please watch carefully,"
Chen Changyuan explained, "Our angelica has undergone a special processing technique that not only preserves its original efficacy but also enhances its medicinal properties."
Aunt Li held up the prepared angelica, and the fragrance filled the air.
The drug dealers present came closer and carefully observed the color and texture of the finished product.
“This taste…this texture…”
An old drug dealer picked up a small piece and tasted it, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Young man, your herbs are really good!"
Chen Changyuan smiled modestly, "Boss, if you are interested, you may want to take a look at our other medicinal herbs. We also have top-quality astragalus, bupleurum, white peony..."
Before he finished speaking, several pharmaceutical dealers in the audience stood up impatiently and walked to Chen Changyuan's booth to ask for samples and detailed information.
Zhang Qinghai stood not far away, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
He didn't expect that Chen Changyuan not only brought high-quality medicinal materials, but also prepared them so thoroughly.
Seeing other drug dealers flocking to Chen Changyuan's medicinal materials, Zhang Qinghai was secretly anxious.
Just then, a middle-aged man in a suit walked up to Chen Changyuan and handed him a business card.
"Little brother, I'm Li Guoqiang, the purchasing director of the provincial capital's medicinal materials company. I'm very interested in your batch of medicinal herbs. I wonder if we can talk privately?"
Chen Changyuan took the business card and was delighted.
The provincial capital's medicinal materials company is a large organization. If we can reach a cooperation agreement with it, we will become really rich.
"Director Li, of course."
Chen Changyuan smiled and said, "But before that, I'd like to talk to all the bosses here. After all, as you can see, our medicinal materials are in short supply."
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Guoqiang's eyes, and then he showed a smile of approval.
"Okay, I'll wait here. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
Chen Changyuan nodded, turned around and continued to introduce his medicinal materials to other drug dealers.
Xiaoqiang and Aunt Li were busy dealing with questions from the drug dealers, while Xiao Li carefully observed and helped record the order information.
Chen Changyuan handled the inquiries from various drug dealers with ease, but from time to time he glanced at Li Guoqiang standing beside him.
He knew in his heart that the order from the provincial medicinal materials company was the real big fish, but he couldn't be too eager at the moment.
"Boss Chen, can you offer a better price on this batch of Astragalus?"
A middle-aged drug dealer with a round face squeezed in front of Chen Changyuan and asked eagerly.
Chen Changyuan smiled and shook his head. "Boss Zhang, as you know, our astragalus is of high quality, and this price is already very fair. How about this, if you can order more than 500 kilograms at a time, we can give you a small discount."
Boss Zhang's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out a stack of banknotes. "Okay, I'll order 600 kilograms now!"
Seeing this scene, other drug dealers also rushed forward, fearing to miss this opportunity.
Chen Changyuan responded calmly, while Xiao Li was busy and sweating, constantly recording the order information.
Li Guoqiang watched from the side in amazement.
He originally thought that with the reputation of the provincial capital's medicinal materials company, he could easily obtain this batch of high-quality medicinal materials.
I didn't expect that the young man in front of me was so smart. He actually knew how to use small discounts to stimulate other drug dealers to rush to buy, thereby raising the overall price.
Finally, after signing more than a dozen orders, Chen Changyuan turned to Li Guoqiang and said, "Director Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. We can talk now."
Li Guoqiang smiled and nodded, "Boss Chen is indeed young and promising. Let's go and find a quiet place to discuss in detail."
The two came to a secluded corner.
Li Guoqiang got straight to the point: "Boss Chen, our provincial capital medicinal materials company would like to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you. What do you think?"
Chen Changyuan was delighted, but remained expressionless. "Director Li, cooperation is naturally a good thing. However, we still need to discuss the specific conditions first."
Li Guoqiang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Chen Changyuan took a deep breath. "First, I hope to sign a three-year supply contract to ensure stable sales. Second, we need technical support, such as guidance on planting techniques and processing technology. Third, I hope to obtain some high-quality seedling resources to improve the quality of our products."
Li Guoqiang frowned after hearing this. "Boss Chen, your conditions are not easy to meet. Especially those high-quality seedlings, which are our company's core resources."
Chen Changyuan said calmly, "Director Li, I understand your concerns. But think about it, if we can grow better quality medicinal herbs, wouldn't that be a good thing for your company? It's a win-win situation."
Li Guoqiang fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Chen Changyuan added, "Furthermore, I can assure you that the price of the medicinal materials we provide will definitely be 10% lower than the market price. This is a considerable profit."
Li Guoqiang's eyes lit up slightly, but then he showed a hesitant look.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Chen, your proposal is very attractive. However, our company has strict cooperation procedures, and I can't make the decision alone. How about this? I'll take your conditions back and discuss them with the leaders."
