"Get out! How dare you sell me fake medicine?"
"How dare you come here and try to sell me something? This is outrageous!"
"No, Mr. Li, please listen to my explanation..."
Yin Lianyi had sharp ears and asked quietly, "Hey, Thirteen O'clock, did you hear any familiar sounds outside?"
Lin Sanqi quickly got up, walked behind the door and listened carefully to the noise outside, then slapped his thigh:
"Of course we're familiar with each other. Isn't this Mao Jinzhe? Isn't he the Dongguang Provincial Representative, stationed in Shenzhen? Why did he end up in Huadu?"
Yin Lianyi didn't even bother to eat. After climbing over the door, the two of them started eavesdropping together. After listening for a while, they already knew what was going on.
Before Lin Sanqi could stop her, Xiao Lajiao had already opened the door and walked out.
In the corridor, Mao Jinzhe and Zhang Yahan stood awkwardly on the side, and the ground was littered with ginseng and cordyceps.
Across the door, an old man with extraordinary bearing was ordering a young man with an angry look on his face to throw out boxes of Chinese medicinal materials.
"What are you making so much noise for? Don't you know this is a VIP ward? Can you be quiet? Hey, isn't this, isn't this that person?"
After Yin Lianyi opened the door, she took the initiative and then pretended to have just noticed and asked:
"Isn't this Mr. Mao from Tongruicheng? I heard you've hooked up with someone powerful and are determined to become the king of high-end health products in South China. How did that happen?"
Mao Jinzhe saw Yin Lianyi and then saw his former boss Lin Sanqi peeking from behind the door, and suddenly felt embarrassed:
"It's Mr. Yin. I'm fine. It's just a small misunderstanding."
"A little misunderstanding?"
The old man in the ward got even angrier when he heard this and walked out directly:
"My wife is not feeling well, and she consulted a Chinese doctor. He said she needed to replenish her vital energy and avoid collapse. So I wanted to go to Lingnan Hall and buy her a piece of century-old ginseng to replenish her energy.
At that time, Mao Jinzhe happened to come to the company to sell something, and he boasted that he had 100-year-old ginseng, and the price was 70% of Lingnantang's, not only more affordable, but also directly from the old forests in Northeast China.
Last year, I also bought some health products from him. They were of good quality, so I trusted him so easily.
It's also my fault for being too greedy. This hundred-year-old ginseng is not cabbage. It is scarce in the market and there is no problem selling it. How could it be discounted?
So, I spent 7.6 million yuan to buy two hundred-year-old ginseng roots from him. Guess what? After I gave them to my wife, they had no effect at all. Instead, her condition worsened day by day.
Later, I asked an old Chinese doctor at Dongguang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to identify it, and they realized it was just bullshit wild ginseng. This was clearly 50-year-old garden ginseng. I was so angry that I wanted to report them for selling fakes on the spot.
Lin Sanqi came out at this time, glanced at Mao Jinzhe, and said with some regret:
"Old man, you really can't sue him for this, because the domestic ginseng market is too chaotic right now. If a ginseng is over 50 years old, you can still call it a hundred-year-old ginseng. You can only suffer the loss in secret."
The old man nodded repeatedly when he heard it. In addition, Lin Sanqi came from the VIP ward opposite. Those who could live in this ward must be rich or noble, so he did not look down on others.
"This handsome guy is right. The old Chinese doctor at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine told me the same thing. But I'm angry because the 100-year-old ginseng I want is 100-year-old wild ginseng, not the so-called 100-year-old garden ginseng. This is too much of a bully."
Anyone would be unhappy about spending more than 7 million to buy two "fake wild ginsengs". After all, not everyone's money comes from the wind.
Yin Lianyi pretended to be surprised when she heard it:
"Come on, Mao Jinzhe, I thought you were a smart guy, but now it seems you're nothing special. You're selling fake ginseng instead of the real ginseng from our Lingnan Hall? Is it because you get more kickbacks from Tong Ruicheng?"
Mao Jinzhe was really embarrassed at this time, as the fake Li Kui met the real Li Kui.
"Director Lin, and Director Li, this is a complete misunderstanding. It's all my fault. I took the wrong ginseng and brought out two stems of garden ginseng instead. So, to apologize, I brought back two more stems of genuine century-old ginseng."
When the old man heard this, he was stunned.
Yin Lianyi took the ginseng and began to identify it, and Lin Sanqi also leaned over.
Although neither of them graduated from the Chinese medicinal materials major, their company is engaged in this business after all. They have handled countless century-old ginsengs, so they naturally have a good vision.
It’s just like when Puyi was identifying antiques, people questioned him, saying, “You haven’t learned anything about antiques, so what qualifications do you have to identify them?”
Puyi said, I don’t know much about antiques, but your things are different from the ones in my house.
The things in Puyi's house are the things in the Forbidden City. He has been playing with them since he was a child and has been influenced by them. Naturally, he knows what is real and what is fake.
Mao Jinzhe was about to stop him, but Lin Sanqi was already smacking his lips:
"I think this ginseng is not right. It is wild ginseng, but the age is wrong. It is no more than 70 years old. And this ginseng is not the wild ginseng from the old forests of Northeast China. It is Russian ginseng, which comes from Russia."
Mao Jinzhe jumped up and down when he heard this:
"Director Lin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I'm here to sincerely apologize to Director Li. How could I possibly pass off a foreign ginseng that's not even of the correct age? Aren't you destroying my reputation?"
The old man surnamed Li was also a little confused, because using normal logic, how could Mao Jinzhe have the courage to lie to him a second time?
But the two young men in front of him seemed very confident, which made him confused for a moment.
"Little brother, what's your name? Can you identify wild ginseng?"
When Yin Lianyi heard this, she quickly helped introduce:
"Old sir, this is Mr. Lin Sanqi, the chairman of Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company. If nothing unexpected happens, the wild ginseng you bought last year was from our company. Last year, this Mao Jinzhe was our salesperson, but this year he has switched to Tongruicheng Company."
When the old man heard that Lin Sanqi was the chairman of Lingnantang Company, his eyes lit up.
"Oh, I really didn't recognize you. Hello, Mr. Lin. Let me introduce myself. I'm Li Weiliang from Shenzhen Maisheng Electric."
"Hello, Mr. Li, hello. I'm your junior, you don't need to be so polite."
Old man Li nodded, and then asked the question in his mind:
"Director Lin, you said these two ginsengs are not century-old wild ginsengs, but foreign products. How did you identify them?"
Although the old man was angry, he was still a reasonable person and did not want to wrongly accuse Mao Jinzhe.
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "Mr. Li, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi turned around and went back into the house. When he came out, he was holding two exquisite wooden boxes in his hands.
At this time, the quarrel in the corridor also attracted many patients in the ward. The patients in the VIP ward were either rich or noble, and they were not seriously ill. Most of them came for physical examinations or recuperation.
If the condition was really serious, he would have gone to the ICU or hell long ago.
So these "patients" in hospital gowns also came over one by one to watch the fun. No matter how high-ranking an official or how rich a boss, they still have an insatiable desire to gossip.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Li from Shenzhen Maisheng Electric? What's going on?"
"It turns out to be Mr. Jia from Hebang Investment."
"Old Li, this is Mr. Zhao from Lenco Bio, this is Mr. Mo from Zhongcheng Investment, and this one..."
Well, those who know this is a casual chat in the VIP ward, and those who don’t know think it is some economic forum, and the people who come are either this CEO or that director.
As more and more people gathered in the corridor to gossip, Li Weiliang excitedly told everyone about the fake ginseng incident he had encountered.
Mr. Sun from Yuanda Energy was a little puzzled:
"This Tongruicheng Company is quite famous in the north. We have purchased health products from them before. How can such a large company use fake ginseng? Hiss~~"
The most important thing for southerners when doing business is integrity. If you don’t have credit, you will basically be cut off from the southern market.
Old Man Li then introduced to everyone, "This is last year's rising star, Mr. Lin from Lingnan Hall."
Lingnan Hall paid more than 2 billion in taxes in just half a year, but because it was established not long ago, everyone has heard of it, but no one has really paid much attention to it, and no one knows about Lingnan Hall's terrifying "cash flow".
The key is that this cash flow can be equated with "profit".
Although there are so many business leaders in this corridor, there are really not many whose annual profits can match Lingnan Hall.
At this time, one of the bosses asked, "Mr. Lin, you said this is a 1970s Russian ginseng. Can you show it to everyone?"
Mao Jinzhe knew it was bad news the moment he heard it. He had only begged and pleaded to get these two wild ginseng stems from the warehouse, just to protect his reputation. (End of this chapter)
