Lin Sanqi found an open space and motioned for everyone to sit down.
Director Zhao knew that a sex scene was about to begin. With such a large group of people serving this young master, it was time to reap the rewards.
"Old Zhao, County Magistrate Yu, Minister Zeng, Township Chief Yue, Village Chief Yien, and everyone else, thank you all for accompanying me to this paradise of beautiful mountains, clear waters, singing birds, and fragrant flowers, allowing me to see the King of Trees, which is over a thousand years old.
I was also able to taste the authentic flavor of Pu'er tea, which made me very happy. Don't worry, I, Lin, will not treat you unfairly if I am happy."
Director Zhao laughed:
"We should thank Commissioner Lin. He flew directly from the capital to Yunnan. He knew how difficult it was for our Yunnan folks, so he tried every possible way to help us. We should all thank Commissioner Lin with applause."
Papapapa~~~
Warm applause rang out, but Lin Sanqi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"Okay, Lao Zhao, you're planning to lift me up high and force me to place an order. Haha."
Lin Sanqi was also not averse to Director Zhao's conspiracy. He was dedicated to the public and tried his best to keep the people for the sake of precious medicines and supplies. He was a good official.
Lin Sanqi took out a piece of paper from his backpack and handed it to Director Zhao next to him.
"Lao Zhao, these are the Pu'er teas from ten hills that I counted, namely Laobanzhang, Yiwu, Mansong, Naka, Bulang, Mahe, Guafengzhai, Wangong, Xigui, and Bingdao.
Some of these are in Menghai County, and others are in nearby counties, so they're not too far away. Finding these villages is crucial for finding Pu'er tea from these hills.
In addition, this is a new tea-making method. You must prepare Pu'er tea exactly according to the method I wrote above. This is also very important. The current method of making raw Pu'er tea is not something most people are used to. "
Pu'er tea is divided into raw Pu'er and cooked Pu'er.
Ripe Pu'er was not invented and popularized until the 1970s, and it became the flavor commonly consumed by tea drinkers.
Ripe Pu'er adds the important step of pile fermentation on the basis of raw Pu'er.
Pile fermentation is to pile up the sun-dried green tea leaves, sprinkle water on them, cover them with linen, and ferment them under certain temperature and humidity conditions.
This fermentation process takes a long time, usually 40 to 60 days.
After the pile fermentation is completed, it goes through processes such as drying and pressing to become ripe Pu'er tea.
Director Zhao handed the new tea-making method to County Magistrate Yu who was standing beside him. County Magistrate Yu discussed it with Township Magistrate Yue and the tea factory staff and nodded.
"Commissioner Lin, your method is not difficult. It draws on the production process of black tea. We can do it."
Lin Sanqi asked, "Does Pu'er tea come with packaging paper now?"
A tea factory worker handed over a few sheets of paper, on which the product names and other items were printed using the most basic method.
Lin Sanqi nodded:
"Don't change the wrapping paper, keep using the same paper and printing, and don't try to update or get a better one. I want the original flavor.
By then, every mountain of Pu'er tea will have its origin and variety marked on its packaging, and the weight of a tea cake will be fixed at 375 grams."
A county official reminded at this time:
"Commissioner Lin, some villages use palm leaf packaging for their Pu'er tea. They can't even afford oil paper. Does this packaging need to be replaced?"
Lin Sanqi quickly waved his hands: "No, no, you should use the same packaging as before when you give it to me. You must remember the original flavor."
Everyone was already used to Lin Sanqi's strange requests, so they all took notes.
"Then there's another important question. Let's not talk about anything else for now, just talk about Banzhang Village. How much Pu'er tea does it have in stock now? And how much can it produce annually?"
Village Chief Yien was agitated for a moment, but still replied honestly:
"If you want ancient tea leaves of the one bud and two leaves quality, our five villages combined can provide about three tons a year. As for aged Pu'er tea, the amount is even greater, but we don't know the exact amount."
This number is less than Lin Sanqi expected, but he can understand it. After all, things are valuable because they are rare.
It is precisely because Pu'er tea with one bud and two leaves is so rare that it is precious, and a pound of it can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The 3-ton figure is based on the assumption that the ancient tea garden is well-preserved. If it were decades later, a 1-ton figure would be quite a feat.
Lin Sanqi is not greedy. Even if he sells one or two leaves of top-quality Laobanzhang ancient tea tree Pu'er tea at a lower price, say 100,000 yuan per kilogram, one ton can bring him 5 billion in revenue.
Three tons, that's 15 billion.
If we include the other nine top-grade Pu'er teas, even if they are not sold at such a high price, the total output value would still be hundreds of billions.
I just wonder if this market crash will cause the Pu'er tea in another time and space to collapse?
But Lin Sanqi didn't care. After all, the hype would eventually subside. He was making quick money. If there was money to be made, he would make it. If there was no money to be made, then forget it.
As long as his main business of ginseng and cordyceps does not fail, the other things are just extra income he earns.
Director Zhao was a little anxious at this time, and asked a little embarrassedly:
"Xiao Lin, what price are you willing to pay for penicillin?"
Lin Sanqi asked in return, "You only want penicillin? No food or cash or anything like that?"
Director Zhao quickly shook his head. What a joke! Although food is good, it is not as good as penicillin.
Let's make the simplest calculation. As long as Yunnan has penicillin, it can exchange it for food from neighboring provinces or countries at any time. Conversely, it is not necessarily possible to exchange penicillin for food.
As for cash, don't use it at all. Cash that can't be used to buy things is no different from waste paper.
"Xiao Lin, this year we only want penicillin. Of course, we can exchange other medicines with you next year."
Seeing that Yunnan's attitude was so firm and sincere, Lin Sanqi felt embarrassed to bargain too much, so he just gave a "sky-high price".
"How about this? For every ton of Pu'er tea, I'll give you 500,000 bottles of penicillin. For three tons of tea from Banzhang Village, I'll give you 1.5 million bottles of 800,000 units of penicillin. Director Zhao, are you satisfied?"
When Director Zhao heard this, he jumped up:
"Really? One ton for 500,000 bottles?"
"real!"
After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, his face turned red. The cost price of a bottle of penicillin at his own Southern Pharmaceutical Factory was 0.3 yuan, and 1.5 million bottles meant a total cost of 750,000 yuan.
But it can be exchanged for Pu'er tea worth 15 billion yuan.
When Lin Sanqi said this, he was really afraid that a thunderbolt from the sky would strike him to death, this black-hearted bastard.
But Director Zhao and other Yunnan cadres don't think so. You know, the amount of penicillin that Yunnan can get a year now is no more than 50,000 bottles, and now it has more than doubled.
The local officials were so excited that they seemed to be as excited as if the bid for the Olympic Games had been successful:
"Those 30 tons can be exchanged for 15 million bottles of penicillin, right? We're going to be rich, Yunnan is going to be rich~~~"
The Yunnan people like to sing and dance when they are excited. A group of people started dancing on the spot, which scared Lin Sanqi.
Old village chief Yien became anxious because the tea belonged to their Banzhang village and they could not be left out of the penicillin.
"Leader Zhao, Leader Zhao, what about us? How much penicillin can our Bandan Village get?"
Director Zhao was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, I didn't originally think of giving you penicillin. At most, I would give you some food and send you off.
But then I thought, this tea belongs to Banzhang Village. If I don’t give them the benefits, they will get angry and burn the mountain down, and no one will be happy.
Director Zhao rolled his eyes, smiled, and patted the old village chief on the shoulder:
"Village Chief Yien, we will certainly not forget your Banzhang Village. We still need to go back and discuss what exactly we can give you, but I can guarantee that your Banzhang Village will no longer suffer from hunger, and there will be medicine to treat the sick."
The villagers of Banzhang Village were also excited when they heard this.
These days, having enough food to eat is always the top priority. If you can also have medicine to cure your illness, it would be a double blessing.
Then the villagers of Banzhang Village also began to sing and dance.
Lin Sanqi felt very embarrassed. There are 56 ethnic groups in the country, 55 of which are good at singing and dancing, but the Han people are the most useless and can only sit aside and shout "reward".
On the third day, Lin Sanqi left Banzhang Village early in the morning and began to visit several tea factories in Menghai County. He then confirmed with the staff of the tea factories the production process of ripe Pu'er, as well as packaging and other issues.
On the fourth day, when Lin Sanqi was planning to stay in Xishuangbanna for a few more days and experience the massage service of the Dai girls, a telegram came directly from the capital.
There were just a few words written on it: "Return to Bao'an as soon as possible, without delay."
So Lin Sanqi had no choice but to take a special plane back to Kunming.
At noon that day, he was received by the main leaders of Yunnan. Both the host and the guests had a great time, and he promised to complete the task of purchasing Pu'er tea.
In the afternoon, Lin Sanqi and Shen Guoming took a special plane sent by Yunnan and were taken to Fushan Airport, finally arriving in Bao'an County.
Some high-ranking officials in Bao'an County are already impatient. (End of this chapter)
