When it comes to Changbai Mountain, in addition to those common Chinese medicinal herbs, the most famous one is a precious medicinal herb, ginseng.
Needless to say, wild ginseng
This precious medicinal material, which was "priceless" in later generations, began to gradually become extinct in the 1990s. At present, Chen Xia can say without exaggeration that he is the largest wild ginseng collector in the country.
Other people charge for wild ginseng by gram, but he charges by container.
What to do when all the wild ginseng is harvested? Then plant it.
Anyway, the soil and climate are the same, so ginseng has chosen Changbai Mountain, a Feng Shui treasure land, and it won't work if planted elsewhere.
In 1992, how many investors with the foresight of Chen Xia dared to purchase large quantities of wild ginseng?
Similarly, who knows better than Chen Xia how huge the sales volume of ginseng will be in the future and how large the industry will develop?
In Fusong County alone, there are thousands of hectares of ginseng cultivation, and it is also home to the world's largest ginseng trading market.
Therefore, they enclosed land as early as 1992 and contracted all the places most suitable for growing ginseng and various Chinese herbal medicines. In the future, this industry alone could reach a scale of tens of billions.
Chen Xia was rich, but why wouldn't he want to take advantage of this opportunity? This was a multi-billion dollar business, and even if he could earn a portion of it, it would still be hundreds of "small goals."
How to do it? It’s even simpler.
For example, Chen Xia can now contract all the mountains in the surrounding area, plant "mountain-moving ginseng", and then close the mountains for afforestation without having to worry about anything.
Wait 20 or 30 years before digging out these "mountain-moving ginseng"
The price of decades-old transplanted ginseng is second only to wild ginseng, and its nutritional value is actually no less than that of wild ginseng.
What did Chen Xia have to pay? Just a few decades of contract fees, and to prevent theft, he just needed to assign more forest rangers.
"Petite thieves" are driven away, "habitual thieves" are brought to justice, and "big thieves", huh, there are bones of thieves buried everywhere in the green mountains, why should they return home wrapped in horsehide?
How much can this kind of investment cost? It's a huge profit, isn't it?
So this can be done.
No one at the scene knew how many times Chen Xia had thought about it in his mind. Seeing that he was silent, they thought he had concerns about investing in Hunjiang.
Bai Yunxia hurriedly assured:
"Don't worry, Chairman Chen. As our son-in-law of Hunjiang, we will definitely not treat you unfairly. Just tell us which piece of land or mountain you're interested in, and we can negotiate. The contract fee will definitely satisfy you."
Other local officials nearby also spoke out, saying that as long as Four Seasons Group invested, they would definitely provide the greatest support.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Chen Xia finally opened his mouth to speak.
"Mayor Wang, it seems you've done some detailed research on our pumpkin vine pharmaceuticals. You even know how many Chinese patent medicine manufacturers we have, haha."
When Wang Yunxia heard this, he was secretly shocked, wondering if he had violated some taboo of the rich.
Just when he was worried, Chen Xia continued:
"I think Mayor Wang's proposal is very feasible. After all, I am the son-in-law of Hunjiang, and it is my duty to make some contribution to my lover's hometown."
When Gu Wei heard this, he smiled and nodded.
The officials nearby also chuckled, obviously very satisfied with the humble attitude of this Hong Kong tycoon, and then praised Chen Xia as if he wanted no money.
Mayor Wang also said happily:
"I don't know what kind of investment Chairman Chen is planning to make, so we should be prepared."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xia. Even Gu Zhongguo and Gu Zhongjun were filled with curiosity. So this is how wealthy people do business? Just a few words and they decided to invest money?
And then you can make money?
Since Chen Xia has decided to invest, he must of course paint a big picture to scare the locals and whet their appetite, so that it will be conducive to the implementation of preferential policies in the future.
Officials certainly hope for as much investment as possible, especially foreign investment, as this represents political achievements.
In a remote mountainous area like Hunjiang, there is no foreign investment, let alone domestic investment. Who would come to invest in this remote area?
Chen Xia sat up straight and continued:
"So, my initial idea is to find some places suitable for growing Chinese herbal medicines. The larger the area, the better. Then I will not only grow Chinese herbal medicines, but also ginseng. The longer the contract period, the better. Of course, the contract fee must satisfy you.
Secondly, since we have invested in Chinese herbal medicine cultivation, we will definitely have to invest in a herbal medicine processing plant. The specific investment amount will be calculated by a professional team at that time, but my initial estimate is that it will definitely not be less than 50 million US dollars.
Wow~~~~~
The first thing he mentioned was half a hundred million yuan, and it was in foreign currency. All the officials present were extremely excited, and even Bai Yunxia was so excited that he could hardly sit still.
Chen Xia was still counting on his fingers as he explained his plan:
"If I come to invest, the city and county will not only help me solve the contracting issues of farmland and forests, but also help me find experienced medicinal herb growers. Of course, don't worry about the salary, it will definitely be the highest in the city. I will not treat my own people unfairly."
This is more of a benefit to the local people than a requirement.
Chen Xia said that it must be the highest income in the city. So when the time comes, the city and county can recommend or not recommend someone. Isn't this a disguised form of power?
People in Northeast China value face, and Chen Xia has given these cadres enough face.
As for whether the recommended person is qualified and will be retained, this is up to Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals to decide. How dare they force a sale? Remember, this is Hong Kong capital, this is foreign capital, not a local boss from the mainland.
The two sides had another heated discussion on investment, and Bai Yunxia received a very satisfactory answer.
As soon as he was satisfied, he immediately sent over the best cars in the city and even arranged the best rooms in the sanatorium in the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area.
Hunjiang provides transportation throughout the entire journey, and arranges city staff to provide services throughout the journey, with the best accommodation and food.
It is definitely super VIP treatment.
Chen Xia could not have imagined that his original plan of coming and leaving quietly would turn out to be a business trip.
Gu Zhongguo and Gu Zhongjun were impressed by their brother-in-law. This guy was so powerful. They didn't know how rich Chen Xia was, but he exported hundreds of millions without even frowning. His net worth was probably at least tens of billions.
With the best service provided by the locals, Chen Xia and his group certainly had a great time.
Hunjiang also arranged for several children from the Gu family to go and hug the little tiger. The children were so happy that they thought the little kitten was so cute and had a lot of fun playing with it.
At this time, Chen Xia called his father-in-law and brother-in-law over, saying that he had something to discuss with his brother-in-law.
Gu Zhongjun was confused. What could he possibly discuss with him? Did Chen Xia want to buy fighter jets? Even though he was in the Air Force, he didn't have the connections.
