It will take some time for Lao Jitou to prepare the folk remedies, treatment experience, and all the medicinal materials, so Gu Wei plans to take his family to travel to Changbai Mountain.

But the former mayor of Yuezhou City, the prince of Xiangjiang Four Seasons Group and his entourage appeared in Fusong. How could this news be concealed?

The next day, local officials of all ranks from Hunjiang and Fusong came to visit.

It was already August 1992, and vigorous economic construction had begun across the country, and GDP had become an important assessment criterion.

Although Fusong is located in the Changbai Mountain area and its economy is quite backward, local officials are also ambitious.

Moreover, with the beginning of a wave of bankruptcies of state-owned enterprises, Northeast China's industry is suffering unprecedented pain, and how to maintain its position as the big brother becomes particularly important.

Now the vice chairman and prince of a Hong Kong consortium has appeared in Fushun, and he is also a patriotic Hong Kong businessman with more than 1 billion US dollars invested in the mainland. How can the locals not be excited?

Hunjiang City Mayor Wang Yunxia and Gu Wei were at the same level and were from the same hometown. They had met several times during meetings.

So Wang Yunxia, ​​under the pretext of visiting an old friend, suddenly appeared in the small mountain village where the Gu family lived with a large group of people.

Gu Wei was preparing to take his children out for a trip to Changbai Mountain.

Chen Xia has been to Fushun many times, but has never been to this famous tourist attraction. Taking advantage of this opportunity to relax, the whole family decided to go for a walk.

As a result, he was blocked at the door.

"Hey, Lao Gu, you're so mean. What's the matter? You didn't even say hello when you came back?"

Gu Wei saw a group of people entering the courtyard, was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand:

"So it's Mayor Wang. Look, I'm retired now, so how could I dare to trouble a government official like you?"

"Noisy, noisy, we've become so unfamiliar after not seeing each other for a while. Mayor Wang has come out. I'm here as a guest today, so I'll call you brother and you call me brother. We're not related by position, right?"

Wang Yunxia then introduced some local officials, and Gu Wei was accustomed to this and handled it with ease.

Chen Xia was carrying a large bag, holding her daughter's hand, and bumped into Gu Lin: "Well, our travel plans are probably going to be ruined."

Gu Lin also looked unhappy: "We finally got to go back to our hometown, but it's not peaceful here, really."

At this time, Wang Yunxia saw Chen Xia in the room, dressed in rich clothes, and his eyes lit up:

"This is Chairman Chen, right?"

Chen Xia knew the sex scene was about to begin, so she smiled and said hello, "Hello, Mayor Wang, I'm Chen Xia, nice to meet you."

"Oh, nice to meet you. Chairman Chen is indeed young and promising. We in Hunjiang are lucky to have a son-in-law like you. Haha, what do you think? Should we give him a warm welcome?"

Gu Wei and his two sons were all smart people. They had figured out that the other party's real purpose was probably their brother-in-law, a wealthy son-in-law.

Chen Xia also gave a compliment to the locals present:

"That's right. The beautiful mountains and waters of Hunjiang have nurtured talents like my father-in-law and you, and also nurtured beautiful girls like my wife. It must be my fortune to be the son-in-law of Hunjiang Fusong."

This was said beautifully, and everyone smiled easily.

When the villagers saw the city and county leaders coming, they rushed over to help, some brought chairs, and some made tea.

Fortunately, the Gu family's house was newly built and the space was large enough. This was an old house, and a kang took up most of the room, so it was difficult to accommodate so many people.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a long time before getting down to business.

Wang Yunxia enthusiastically pulled Chen Xia, the Hong Kong tycoon, and asked about the Four Seasons Group's investment in the mainland. In fact, he was testing Chen Xia's strength.

When he heard that the Four Seasons Group had become the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer, the largest small commodity company, the largest textile company, and had opened the largest hospital in the country, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

If any of these industries were to invest in Hunjiang, it would really boost the local economy by several levels.

"Chairman Chen, you are a son-in-law from Hunjiang. Even when you have good things, you have to think about your mother-in-law's family. I wonder if you can lend a hand and help us."

Hunjiang, which later became the Baishan area, had just become independent from Tonghua a few years ago and was basically a purely agricultural city.

The tourism industry in Changbai Mountain has not yet developed these days, and transportation is inconvenient for developing industry. Besides, who would come to this small border town to invest?

The entire region is supported by a few mining factories, while agriculture relies on Chinese medicinal herbs and timber felling.

Take ginseng, for example. But how much wild ginseng does it produce in a year? It was already completely depleted by people in the 1970s and 1980s.

When Gu Wei heard about the investment, he quickly helped his son-in-law explain:

"Four Seasons Group has an office in Fusong, where they purchase large quantities of ginseng, deer antlers, snow frogs, ganoderma lucidum, and other Chinese medicinal herbs every year."

Wang Yunxia smacked his lips:

"Brother Gu, don't blame me for being too greedy. I think it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Look at the natural environment and climate conditions of Hunjiang River. It's completely natural and pollution-free. It's a natural advantage for growing medicinal herbs.

Chairman Chen purchases some medicinal herbs every year, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. How many people in Hunjiang can this solve for employment? So I think the Four Seasons Group might as well consider setting up a medicinal herb planting base in Hunjiang.

I heard that Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals, owned by the Four Seasons Group, has two Chinese patent medicine factories, producing things like stomach pills and all-purpose kidney-tonifying medicine. Many of these Chinese herbs can be grown right here in Hunjiang."

When Gu Wei heard this, he realized that this was indeed true. The natural environment of his hometown was very suitable for growing medicinal herbs.

Chen Xia was just about to research and invest in "snake medicine". Gu Wei had identified that many of the herbs in Lao Jitou's folk remedies were unique to Changbai Mountain.

It seems that investing in a Chinese herbal medicine planting base in Hunjiang, my hometown, is very feasible.

Gu Wei is old, and old people are particularly nostalgic and want to do something for their hometown.

So he is now happy to see his son-in-law invest locally, and there is a bit more expectation in his eyes when he looks at Chen Xia.

When Chen Xia heard Mayor Wang's analysis, he thought it was a good idea.

Since we are going to vigorously develop real Chinese medicine, we should have a Changbai Mountain Chinese herbal medicine planting base, and all the raw material planting and processing will be in our own hands.

This not only ensures the authenticity and reliability of the medicinal materials, but also the entire industry chain, from planting to processing, production, and sales, is in our hands, so the profit is considerable.

And there is still one of Changbai Mountain’s most valuable treasures.
