The doors of each carriage opened, revealing carriage after carriage filled with local specialties.
Silk, rice wine, ham, and Anji white tea were all available, and in large quantities. It was obvious that Zhejiang was very sincere, and it didn't seem like a forced transaction under orders from a superior.
Lin Sanqi knew in his heart that the people of Zhejiang were indeed born businessmen with very high emotional intelligence.
They were so sincere and showed Lin Sanqi enough respect and courtesy. How could he, Lin Sanqi, have the nerve to let the special train return empty-handed?
Lin Sanqi was happy and had a particularly good impression of the people of Zhejiang. It would be impolite not to reciprocate.
"Director Peng, I'm so sorry. The country is in such a difficult situation right now, and I believe you in Zhejiang are probably not well off either. I'm so touched that you still sent me so many supplies."
When Deputy Director Peng heard Lin Sanqi's words, he knew that the other party had already known his sincerity, and he felt relieved.
To get so many supplies, Zhejiang had to grit its teeth and save money.
For example, Shaoxing rice wine requires grain to be brewed, and Jinhua ham requires a kind of fat pig called "Liangtouwu" as raw material. Silk and tea are among the few export-earning products of Zhejiang.
It just so happens that these raw materials are what Zhejiang currently lacks the most. For an agricultural province with seven parts of mountains, one part of water and two parts of farmland, it is not enough to have enough food.
The Zhejiang of the 1960s was not the "Boss Zhejiang" known to people all over the country decades later.
Due to certain historical reasons, Zhejiang has been a forgotten corner since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Except for the factories developed locally, almost no central enterprises have invested in Zhejiang.
During this period, there was no foreign investment and private enterprises were not allowed. Without state investment in factories, there was no industry.
Therefore, Zhejiang Province in the 1960s was completely an agricultural county, extremely poor and not much better than Yunnan.
Even the seafood from Zhoushan, which will be unaffordable in a few decades, will be difficult to sell to other places due to transportation problems.
Lin Sanqi was deeply moved by the kindness and sincerity they expressed because he knew all the difficulties Zhejiang had encountered.
Other provinces would just ship some things over, then emphasize how difficult their situation was, and then elevate it to a matter of national economy and people's livelihood, morally blackmailing Lin Sanqi and hoping he'd give them more.
Although Lin Sanqi understood, he still felt a little unhappy inside.
But the thing is, Zhejiang Province is amazing. Without you asking for anything, they will just give you a lot of stuff, and the stuff they give you is far beyond your imagination.
Although the tea was exchanged for generator sets, Zhejiang Province might not be able to get many generators. Given the prejudice of some leaders towards Zhejiang at that time, it was even possible that Zhejiang would not get any generators at all.
But they sent the tea with great joy, and those pieces of silk alone were worth a fortune.
Lin Sanqi walked around the platform with his hands behind his back. Seeing that it was getting dark, he had a plan in mind.
"Director Peng, you must return tonight and leave immediately."
Deputy Director Peng was shocked when he heard this, and what flashed through his mind was that the provincial leaders had lost the bet?
Lin Sanqi doesn't appreciate this kindness and wants to kick people out immediately?
Not even a seafood dinner?
The mood was naturally very bleak. When the other staff heard about it, they were about to cry. The provincial government was waiting for the rice to be cooked.
Lin Sanqi's subsequent words made all the staff on the Zhejiang side ecstatic.
"Director Peng, you Zhejiang people are so polite, so I can't be stingy. So, when I return, I will provide you with 2 million bottles of penicillin. In addition, I will give you five 300,000-kilowatt complete generator sets.
The remaining carriages are for you to load with food. You can load as much as you can. If that doesn't work, I can lend you a few more carriages to hang at the back. You can load rice or flour.
But then I can't receive you, because you need to keep these supplies secret and not show them to anyone else. Otherwise, everyone will come to me asking for medicine and food, and I won't be able to handle it."
Deputy Director Peng understood why Lin Sanqi wanted to "drive people away". It turned out that he wanted them to keep it a secret.
The people of Zhejiang are the best at this. Making a fortune in silence is what they like to do most.
Deputy Director Peng was extremely excited and firmly grasped Lin Sanqi's hand.
"Commissioner Lin, I won't say anything more. We will definitely remember the help you gave us Zhejiang people today.
I will report this to our leader when I get back. In the future, if you, Commissioner Lin, have any requests, we, the people of Zhejiang, will go through fire and water to meet them without hesitation."
Others may be being polite, but Lin Sanqi believes that the people of Zhejiang will definitely do what they say.
Because the people of Zhejiang know how to invest, as long as Lin Sanqi is still the "rain in time of need", the people of Zhejiang will definitely place their bets on him.
That night, a special train loaded with more than 30 carriages slowly pulled out of Bao'an Station and rushed into the darkness.
Deputy Director Peng looked at the roast ducks, pig's trotters, peanuts, and a few steaming pork buns in the box, and then at the bottles of Moutai liquor, and felt indescribably moved.
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, you are truly a timely help..."
2015
Lingnantang Group, in the chairman’s office.
Lin Sanqi is calling Manager Huang from the Southern Pharmaceutical Factory:
"Old Huang, can our pharmaceutical factory's own production line still produce penicillin?"
Manager Huang was a little surprised and thought that it was your boss himself who said that the Western medicine production lines should be dismantled and converted into Chinese patent medicine workshops.
"Boss, you forgot that you dismantled and transported away several old production lines last time. Now we can't produce Western medicine ourselves, and we have switched to making Lingnan Tang secret formula medicine."
Lin Sanqi slapped his forehead. It was true that rich people tend to forget things. The richer they are, the worse their memory is.
The characteristic of rich people is that they forget all the money they owe to others.
"So, I need a total of 10 million bottles of 800,000 units of penicillin. Oh, no, I need to keep them in reserve, so I need another 10 million bottles. Do you have any way to get such a large amount of penicillin quickly?"
Manager Huang was delighted when he heard this:
"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Let alone 20 million bottles, even if you want 200 million bottles, it's no big deal. I can get them by just making a few calls."
Penicillin was the least valuable drug in that era. Almost every Western pharmaceutical factory could produce it, and there was a serious overcapacity.
Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Factory took the initiative to request purchase, which was to give face to other pharmaceutical factories. Maybe Manager Huang could even get some kickbacks himself.
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you. Just put the purchased medicines in the Huangpu warehouse."
"Okay, boss. Give me three days to complete the task."
After hanging up the phone, two delicate secretaries, Zhu Xinyue and Yao Zhuohan, rushed in immediately. One made tea and the other reported on their work. The whole office became lively in an instant.
After signing a few company documents, Lin Sanqi enjoyed the personal service of his secretary and relaxed completely.
"By the way, call CEOs Lin, Yin, and Qiao over. I want to have a quick meeting with them."
"Okay, Chairman."
Zhu Xinyue nodded quickly and went out with her perky little butt.
Lingnan Hall can no longer maintain its low profile as the 88-story headquarters building in Tianhe District is already under construction.
Although the 88-story building is not the tallest in Tianhe Center, all companies that can build their headquarters there are large and wealthy companies with strong foundations.
So Lin Sanqi did not deliberately keep a high profile, but he did not keep a low profile either. Instead, he brought together all the branches under his name to work together.
In less than 10 minutes, Lin Tianhua, Yin Lianyi and Qiao Jingzhu came in.
Lin Sanqi sat on the sofa, brewing Kung Fu tea while smiling:
"Uncle Shi, Second Sister-in-law, Ayi, come, sit down. I'll give you a taste of this tea today. How do you feel about its flavor?"
Yin Lianyi was the future boss lady, so she wasn't as polite as the others. She rolled her eyes and said:
"Do you know how busy I am? I don't have time to come over for tea. Boss, my finance department is also the supervisory department, and I have to handle the audit department as well. I can't handle it all by myself. You have to split it up and hire more people."
In fact, Yin Lianyi forgot to mention one thing. She is actually also the warehouse manager, and all things in and out of the warehouse must be approved by her signature.
When it was just a makeshift team, it was okay for Yin Lianyi to take on multiple roles, but now that Lingnan Hall has developed, it is really exhausting for one person to take on multiple roles.
Lin Sanqi paused while making tea:
"Hey, how come you're handling so many duties? You're both the accountant and the cashier, and you have the financial stamps. Aren't you the one who's emptied the bank?"
Hahaha~~~ Everyone in the room laughed softly, and Yin Lianyi said viciously:
"Huh, you still know this? Be careful I'll transfer all my assets and then support a few gigolos to satisfy my Wu Zetian addiction."
Lin Tianhua laughed for a while when he saw the young couple bickering, then he spoke:
"Lianyi has a point. She really can't handle it all by herself right now. You need to hire some senior executives."
Lin Sanqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not that I don't want to recruit people, it's just that the Supervision Department and the Audit Department are too important. I can't trust outsiders."
Lin Tianhua thought for a moment and said, "If we can't trust outsiders, then let's look for someone within the family. Look, Jingzhu is pretty good."
Lin Sanqi thought so too. Although Qiao Jingzhu's surname was not Lin, she was the daughter-in-law of the Lin family and was half a member of the Lin family.
If you focus on the Lin family's relatives, then you have a lot of options.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi immediately took out his cell phone and dialed: (End of this chapter)
