Lobdaji couldn't understand why this dean from the coastal area was interested in Cordyceps?
This thing can't fill the stomach. In Wang Shu, who lacks salt and sugar, it tastes bad when cooked and eaten. It is only suitable for feeding livestock.
But when someone asked him, he naturally had to answer:
"I don't know the production volume, but it all depends on how much the state-owned pharmaceutical factories outside take. Anyway, the herders will collect as much as they want. But they don't want much, and our Wangshu is too remote, so the transportation cost is too high."
Chen Xia's heartbeat quickly accelerated. This was truly a blessing in disguise.
I never thought that being exiled to the frontier would lead me to a treasure trove. Is there anything cheaper and more genuine than purchasing precious Chinese herbal medicines at their place of origin?
Don’t forget the wild ginseng at the foot of Changbai Mountain. For several years, the output was almost monopolized by Chen Xia alone. This wealth will be immeasurable in a few decades.
Don’t underestimate this tiny Cordyceps. In the future, one kilogram can be sold for hundreds of thousands, and the best quality ones can even sell for millions.
What is the current purchase price? Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company quoted him 30 yuan per kilogram, which already includes profit, shipping costs, and other costs.
So how much does one kilogram of it cost at the place of origin? Chen Xia was suddenly filled with anticipation.
Lobudaji gave the answer:
"Pharmaceutical factories buy it for about 2 yuan per kilogram. The herders have nothing to do during the day, so they go all over the mountains and plains looking for Cordyceps. Those who are good at it can earn a lot of money in a day."
When Chen Xia heard Lobudaji's offer, he screamed in his heart:
"2 yuan per kilogram, damn, Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company is such a profiteer. When I sold it to him, they charged him over 30 yuan per kilogram. That's a tenfold increase."
But he didn't think about himself. Now the price is 2 yuan per kilogram, and after being kept in the space hospital for 20 years, it can be sold for more than 300,000 yuan per kilogram. How many times has the price increased?
He is the real profiteer, okay?
Lobudaji added, "Those pharmaceutical factories also purchase other medicinal herbs, such as snow lotus, fern hemp, radix citriodora, etc. These are also specialties of our area."
Chen Xia's eyes lit up when he heard this: Snow Lotus? Snow Lotus is good, it's also a precious Chinese medicinal material. The price of wild ones is getting higher and higher, and there is still a shortage of people.
It seems that after a year of acquisitions, it will be hard not to get rich.
"Lobudaji, I have a personal favor to ask you. Could you please use your connections at Wangshu to spread the word that I'm looking to buy a large quantity of cordyceps and snow lotus? I'll take as much as I can, and I'll double the price to 4 yuan per kilogram? How's that?"
Lobudaji almost spit out the Moutai in his mouth
"Dean Chen, why do you need so much Cordyceps? Could it be that you...?"
After saying that, Lobdaji looked at Chen Xia's lower body.
Chen Xia's face was filled with black lines. "Don't think too much. My kidneys are not weak at all. I don't want to replenish them myself, but I want to give them to others."
Lobudaji thought to himself, I don’t believe you at all. I can’t believe that you are so young and strong but have kidney deficiency. It’s so pitiful.
"Okay, I'll take care of it. We have a lot of connections in the health system. If word gets out, not only in Wangshu, but also in Nagqu and Changdu, herders might send us Cordyceps. Dean Chen, are you sure you'll buy them all at 4 yuan per kilogram?"
"I'm sure, I'll take whatever you want," Chen Xia reiterated again.
Lobudaji slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, let's buy this year's stock first. When the picking season arrives in May, there will probably be a lot of it."
That night, Chen Xia slept in the guesthouse, dreaming of swimming in a Cordyceps pond with RMB piled up beside him.
After getting up the next day, Chen Xia started working officially.
New leaders usually start by having individual conversations with employees. Topics range from "what are your dissatisfactions with the hospital?" to "what needs improvement?" to "what are your personal ideas for work?"
When the employees learned that the new director was going to seek 200,000 yuan in sponsorship to rebuild the hospital, they were all shocked.
200,000 yuan, I guess Wang Shu Credit Union doesn’t even have that much money?
"Money makes the world count" is the truth wherever you go. When everyone saw that the dean who came on a temporary assignment was so rich, they were all very polite to him.
After Chen Xia took over the hospital, he did not encounter any resistance, so he just let them do everything step by step.
Just when Chen Xia began to get into the role of dean, Li Jun had already suffered enough as dean.
It was already the end of January and the Chinese New Year was approaching, but no one reminded him that he would receive New Year's benefits.
By the time he remembered, it was only a few days away from New Year's Eve.
1988 was a year of price breakthroughs. As soon as people had money, they would buy goods and would not keep the money in their hands.
This also led to a severe shortage of goods in the market. Everything was in short supply, even non-staple food.
When the hospital distributes benefits, mainland products such as melon seeds, peanuts, and fruits are definitely indispensable.
In addition, when Chen Xia was there, he had a good relationship with the fishing companies in the Zhoushan Islands. Seafood was also indispensable, and pork was distributed every year.
As a result, after Li Jun came to power this year, not to mention seafood and game, even the most basic melon seeds and peanuts could not be obtained.
There are now more than 1,000 people in Yuezhou Hospital, and the quantity of New Year's goods to be distributed is not ordinary.
After all, Li Jun is an outsider. He has no connections or experience in Zhijiang. Even if he finds the source of goods, transportation becomes a big problem.
In short, he was extremely busy.
The employees no longer oppose him and don't openly oppose him, but it's not necessarily true that they should cooperate more at work as you say.
Especially now that Pumpkin Vine has imposed "sanctions" on Yuezhou Hospital, the hospital's income has been visibly declining. Several hospitals in the provincial capital, such as the Provincial First Hospital and the Provincial Second Hospital, are already ready to launch a counterattack.
Sometimes the employees have a very simple idea: they just see which of your deans can bring them benefits.
Yuezhou Hospital's original income was basically about twice that of hospitals of the same level in the province, and about three times the national average.
The monthly salary is about 200 yuan, plus performance bonuses and public drug deductions. It is common for a good doctor to earn over a thousand yuan a month.
Now, the drug deduction is gone, and now even the bonus is at risk.
Some people would say that Yuezhou Hospital is rich and has hundreds of millions of dollars in its account.
However, there are regulations for this money. It must be used for a specific purpose and must be used to upgrade the hospital's software and hardware. It cannot be used to pay employee salaries and bonuses.
This was the condition that Chen Xia had negotiated with great difficulty, and he also had "Da Yi" in his hands. I am using this money to build a hospital, so don't even think about it.
If you dare to touch this money, your superiors will intervene immediately.
(Helplessly, the money was eventually moved, and then the superiors really intervened, and the Yuezhou Hospital account was immediately emptied.)
