Chapter 236: Don’t Push to a Desperate Place
After agreeing on the terms, the Digital Hospital, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the headquarters quickly transferred the food overnight.
I’m afraid that if the night continues, there will be more trouble. If other units find out and come to attack, how much of the 100 tons of food will be left after it is divided equally?
The Digital Hospital kept its word and sent over 200 pieces of wild ginseng from Northeast China, and also promised to get more precious Chinese medicinal materials in exchange for food.
However, Liu Shengli also played a rogue. He calculated the price of this batch of ginseng based on the retail price, not the wholesale price. As a result, the price of ginseng increased by at least 50%.
But Dean Shen didn't care. Who told him to kill the Digital Hospital first?
It is equivalent to that the Digital Hospital paid for these 100 tons of grain, and the Chinese Medicine Hospital got 50 tons of grain for free. This business is done very well. I have to admire that Dean Shen is from Suzhou. Maybe he is from the same clan as Shen Wansan.
On the way back to the hospital, Lin Sanqi was still a little worried:
"Uncle Shen, your old boss has come out. I'm sure they'll come to extort money from us more often in the future. What if our superiors find out about our hospital, or if I can get a large amount of food? Will I be in danger?"
Dean Shen regained his usual rationality at this time and said quietly:
"Xiao Qi, think about it. In our capital alone, there are four large black markets. The total customer flow of these four black markets exceeds tens of thousands of people a day and a night. In addition, how many small black markets are there in this city?"
Not to mention places far away, just take the area next to our Chinese Medicine Hospital, inside Jingshan Park, in Shijin Hutong behind No. 165 Middle School, in the back garden of Ronglu Mansion in Juer Hutong, etc., which are all small black markets where grain is traded every day.
Even ordinary people like you and me know all this, but do you think the relevant authorities are aware of the existence of these black markets? Then why have these black markets not been banned and are still bustling with transactions every day?
Lin Sanqi pondered these questions while driving, wondering if someone in the upper echelons was taking a stake in the black market. Isn't that how Hong Kong police and gangster movies play out?
Dean Shen said slowly:
"We must always leave people a way to survive. We cannot push them to death. If we really push them to the limit, they will do anything.
Why would he dare to ask for it? Think about it. In this era, this isn’t a mistake; it’s a credit to him.”
Lin Sanqi was also thinking about this question.
I continued to transport food from 2013 to 1960,
Then why should I be afraid?
As for whether he would be held accountable later when food supply was restored, that was even less of a concern.
If the time-travel function becomes invalid in a few years, and I have earned enough money and accumulated enough original capital, enough for me to live comfortably in 2013, then the worst that can happen is that I will not travel back to this era.
Even if the time-travel function always exists, in no more than 5 years, he will be ready to take his entire family and run away to Hong Kong or abroad to continue making big money.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi felt relaxed. With so many cards in his hand, what was there to be afraid of?
I am always thinking about how to survive. I don’t dare to do this and I can’t do that. When will I be able to complete my traffic monetization plan?
Even in later generations' fairy tale novels or novels about immortality, the protagonists say that they want to be safe and not take any risks, and that safety comes first.
But in fact, which major event did the protagonist not participate in? Fighting for life and death is not just to grab the resources for cultivation.
If you really want to hide, shouldn't you find an empty corner and hide quietly in a cave for thousands or tens of thousands of years without coming out? Wouldn't it be more in line with the style of the King of Hiding to be a turtle for ten thousand years?
Lin Sanqi's confidence grew a lot, and he asked casually:
"Uncle Shen, do I still need to cooperate with your fellow apprentices in the future? Do I really need to get food for them?"
"Cooperate, why not? Cooperating with them and connecting with them will only benefit you. After all, their system is relatively independent, free from external interference, and not afraid of threats from anyone.
If you help them get food, they will remember your kindness. If you need help from them in the future, won't you have face? Even if your food trading plan is caught by someone with ulterior motives, they can bail you out.
Lin Sanqi thought further.
By cooperating with the Digital Hospital, he has an additional source of supplies. In addition to the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he now has another large hospital to provide him with precious medicinal materials.
For example, the more than 200 ginsengs sent by the Digital Hospital this time would have made profits of over 100 million by 2013, making them a fortune.
If you exchange grain for all the precious Chinese medicinal materials produced every year in this era, it doesn't have to be much, as long as you monopolize it for 5 years, then there will be no problem for you to become the invisible richest man.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi stepped on the accelerator even more happily and ran towards his unit.
Pan Ye was already waiting in the Chinese Medicine Hospital with a suitcase beside him. He looked anxiously at the gate of the hospital. When he saw Lin Sanqi jumping off the truck, he waved excitedly.
Dean Shen got out of the car with an auntie smile on his face: "Boy, your wife is waiting for you to take her to Changping, hurry over."
Lin Sanqi took off his gloves and ran over: "Student Pan Ye, are you getting impatient?"
"No hurry, no hurry. By the way, what's in your car? Why are there so many people around?"
"Well, all of this is food that our hospital got. There are 10 truckloads of 50 tons in total, and they're being put into storage now. This is a treasure, we have to keep a close eye on it. We originally had 100 tons, but half of it was stolen along the way."
Pan Ye was a little surprised: "Ah? 50 tons of food were stolen? Oh my god, who is so bold? Did you call the police?"
Lin Sanqi picked up Pan Ye's suitcase:
"Why call the police? They were all stolen by our brother units. Come on, take my truck. The convoy is leaving for Changping soon. Hey, your suitcase is so heavy."
The Pan family was a wealthy family back then. Even a broken ship still had three thousand nails, so a suitcase was not a rare item for her family.
"It's filled with textbooks, so it's heavy. Why don't I do it myself?"
"No, no, no, who would let their wife carry something heavy? I'll do it. Come on, you follow me."
Lin Sanqi spoke casually, and Pan Ye's face turned red, but at the same time he felt happy in his heart, and followed Lin Sanqi to jump onto the big truck.
After a while, four large trucks carrying 20 tons of grain drove to the Changping branch.
When they got on the big truck, Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye were the only ones in the cockpit. While Lin Sanqi was driving, he reached into his backpack and started feeding the animals.
"Here, this bag contains persimmon cakes from Fuping, this bag contains candied dates from Suizhou, this bag contains tongue biscuits from Daoxiangcun, and this one also contains big Yantai apples. They are sweet, crispy and delicious."
Pan Ye was stunned by the number of snacks in his hands:
"Wow, Lin Sanqi, so many delicious foods? But, but it must cost a lot of money, right?"
Lin Sanqi saw his girlfriend looking embarrassed and really wanted to pinch her little face:
"Don't worry, eat. Since no one's around, I'll tell you something. Actually, I don't need this money. Even my salary is nothing to me. I currently have 5,000 yuan in savings, and if I wanted, I could have more."
How do you think we met? You should have seen my ability to make money. When you helped me sell a pound of tea, it was tens or even hundreds of yuan. And look at this, what is it?
Pan Ye was terrified when he heard that Lin Sanqi had so much money.
Who knew that Lin Sanqi would take out a dozen, two dozen, three dozen things from his backpack.
Pan Ye took it and looked at it, and she was so frightened that she covered her mouth with one hand, because in her hand was exactly three dozen thick national food coupons:
"Hey, how many food coupons are there? And they're national food coupons!!!"
"Here are 1,500 kilograms of national food coupons."
Lin Sanqi thought, if he wasn't afraid of scaring people, he actually still had more than 7,000 kilograms of national food coupons in his space.
"So, classmate Pan Ye, don't worry about me spending money recklessly. We'll have more money than we can spend in the future. As for food, you don't have to worry about it. Not to mention that we have money and food coupons, even if we didn't have food coupons, we still have to carry whole bags of flour at home."
If someone said this, Pan Ye would definitely think that the other person was bragging.
But Lin Sanqi's constant feeding and material support to her family throughout the year made her believe that her boyfriend was a man of great powers.
But after the joy, Pan Ye also had some concerns:
"Sanqi, you must have bought all this food on the black market, right? It would be very risky if you got caught. You can't always go to the black market, right?"
While handing something over, Lin Sanqi quickly grabbed Pan Ye's hand, causing Pan Ye's face to turn red again.
"It's okay. I'm here to trade on the black market. See? The food on our trucks was all bought by me. The hospital knows it all. Also, the Changping branch is about to start producing medicine, and I've been designated to sell it.
So, what I'm doing now is just a task assigned by the organization, and there's no risk at all. Of course, during this transaction, I'll definitely make a small profit, and this will also be the source of income for our family to live comfortably in the future. Do you understand now?"
In fact, Pan Ye didn't understand at all, but women born before liberation had one advantage, that is, they were virtuous. They had an old mindset of "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog", and this was the case even though Pan Ye had attended college.
So she didn't plan to ask too many questions, thinking why should a man explain so much to her when doing things?
Without thinking too much, Pan Ye opened the paper bag, took out a persimmon cake and placed it next to Lin Sanqi's mouth:
"Come, I'll feed you."
Lin Sanqi took a bite of the persimmon cake and licked the little girl's finger. He couldn't help but smile and even stepped on the accelerator with more force.
