Old Yuan was feeding chickens in the yard. Seeing Chen Changyuan coming, he grinned and said, "Changyuan, you're here so early?"
"Old Yuan, I have something I would like to ask you for help."
Chen Changyuan took out the blueprint and spread it out on Lao Yuantou's wooden table.
"This is the plan for the back mountain I drew last night. I want to plant some medicinal herbs in these areas."
The old man took a closer look and frowned slightly: "I know these places, the soil is really good."
"I have something to do today, so I won't go to the back mountain with you. You just need to help me keep an eye on the land there."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Old Yuantou patted his chest, but still a little worried, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go to the county town."
As Chen Changyuan spoke, he took out a few crumpled bills from his pocket.
“This is your hard-earned money.”
"Hey! This is unacceptable!"
The old man waved his hands repeatedly, "Do we really need this for our friendship? Put it away!"
"Old Yuan, please accept it."
Chen Changyuan insisted on giving it, "This is not about the money, it's just a token of my appreciation."
Lao Yuantou wanted to refuse, but Chen Changyuan had already stuffed the money into his pocket.
"By the way, I went to the county town mainly to find some suppliers of medicinal herb seeds, and by the way, to inquire about the acquisition situation of the medicinal herb companies in the city."
Chen Changyuan said this with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"These days, information is money."
After hearing this, Old Yuan put down his pipe and said with a slightly worried tone, "Xiaoyuan, your plan sounds good, but there are many types of medicinal herbs, and the market is complicated. It's too complicated! In our village, no one has dared to touch the medicinal herbs business in recent years. You are just a young boy, this..."
Chen Changyuan smiled and waved his hands, "Uncle Yuan, I have a plan for this matter. The faster you are, the more chances you have."
Hearing his confident tone, Old Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, Dazhu's family dumped you, but you've suffered a lot and become a changed man. So... I'll help you keep an eye on things in the back mountain, but you must be careful when you go to the city. Ask more questions if you don't understand, so as not to suffer any losses."
"but……"
Old Yuantou hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Zhou Dazhu has also been planning to enter the medicinal materials business recently. You'd better be careful."
Chen Changyuan's eyes glared. "Zhou Dazhu? He wants to get involved in this business too?"
"you do not say."
Old Yuan sighed, "He's been winning over quite a few people in the village these past few days, saying he wants to build a medicinal herb planting base. If you..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden noise outside the yard.
"Talking about others behind their backs?"
A sharp voice came, "Chen Changyuan, I didn't realize you were such a person!"
Chen Changyuan turned around and saw Zhou Dazhui and a few of his lackeys standing at the gate of the yard with sarcastic smiles on their faces.
"Why, Chen Changyuan, are you trying to go against the village chief?"
Zhou Dazhu walked slowly into the yard. "If you ask me, you'd better stay calm and stop doing those unrealistic things."
The old man stood up and said, "Dazhu, what do you mean by that? Who will be hindered by doing business in the long run?"
"I didn't say I was bothering anyone."
Zhou Dazhu sneered, "I just want to remind him not to be so ignorant."
Chen Changyuan glanced at Zhou Dazhui with a half-smile.
"Zhou Dazhu, I don't need you to tell me what to do in my business. But why are you barking at me instead of staying home to take care of your delicate wife?"
Zhou Dazhu's face changed, as if someone had hit a sore spot.
Since Lin Xiaoya married him, she has been very spoiled. She relies on his mother Wang Cuifen to take care of her both at home and outside, which really makes him very angry.
"Chen Changyuan, stop being so sarcastic!"
Zhou Dazhu was furious. "Do you think you can turn things around just by getting some medicinal herbs? I'm telling you, it's not your turn to call the shots in Qingshui Village!"
Chen Changyuan sneered: "Qingshui Village? You think too highly of yourself. Even if I expand my business to the horizon, it will have nothing to do with a frog in a well like you."
He turned to look at Lao Yuantou and said, "Lao Yuantou, I'm leaving first. Please take care of yourself."
After saying that, Chen Changyuan left the yard, leaving Zhou Dazhui and his group looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Brother Dazhu, this Chen Changyuan is too arrogant!"
A lackey came up to Zhou Dazhu and said with a flattering look, "Do you want us to..."
He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhou Dazhu had a gloomy face and waved his hand: "Let him jump around for a few days, wait until he plants the herbs, then we'll..."
Zhou Dazhu gave a sinister smile and didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
After arriving in the county town, Chen Changyuan went straight to the county pharmaceutical company.
In this era of information blockade, if you want to find a suitable supplier of medicinal seeds, you can only start from official channels.
When Chen Changyuan stood at the gate of the county pharmaceutical company, he felt a complex emotion in his heart.
He had been to this place before in his previous life, but at that time he was running errands for the Zhou family and helping Zhou Dazhu to smooth out relationships.
Now that he has been reborn, he finally comes for himself.
The pharmaceutical company building is not tall, the three-story brick-gray building looks a bit old, but it is the core of pharmaceutical distribution in the entire county.
He pushed open a large display board at the door, on which was clearly written "Notice of Purchase of Chinese Medicinal Materials".
Although the information is simple, it shows that the management here is formal at the county level.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I heard a noisy quarrel.
"What do you mean? This batch of wolfberries is the first time I've grown them! How come they're not up to standard?"
A farmer, his face flushed red, was slamming the counter in anger.
"Zhao Dashun, I've already told you that this batch of wolfberries is dark in color and small in size. It doesn't meet our company's standards!"
Behind the counter, a middle-aged man who looked like a cadre frowned.
"fart!"
Zhao Dashun waved his arms excitedly and shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't think I don't know. These standards are set by people. Old Zhang, you look down on me, a country bumpkin, right?"
"Zhao Dashun, stop being unreasonable!"
The middle-aged man's face turned blue and the veins on his neck throbbed slightly because of the shouting.
Obviously, this is not the first time facing such strong doubts.
Chen Changyuan looked at the name on the name tag of the middle-aged man behind the counter - "Purchasing Director, Zhang Qinghai", and his heart moved.
He roughly guessed the situation. For farmers, selling medicinal herbs is a direct source of income, but for large companies, the purchase standards are the bottom line for maintaining their credibility.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Dashun was already furious and punched the counter directly, and the documents on the table were immediately in chaos.
Zhang Qinghai stood up and was about to call security, but Chen Changyuan stepped in front of Zhao Dashun and stopped him with his hand.
"Uncle, don't get excited."
Chen Changyuan smiled and said softly, "Good medicinal herbs should be sold at a high price, but there must be evidence to support it. If you make such a fuss, not only will you not get any justice, but people will look down on you as a country bumpkin, right?"
