That was a strong statement. Su Zheng almost lost his temper on the spot. Such inferior goods, and they wanted to sell them at a high price?
Another representative quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Mayor Sun, you flatter us. Our Tianyao Company is also a state-owned enterprise, and we believe in seeking truth from facts. How about this: Polygonatum sibiricum is 1.3 yuan, and Panax notoginseng is 2.3 yuan? What do you think?"
Before Vice Mayor Sun could even speak, Wang Hongzhao and his group erupted in anger.
The purchase price of Polygonatum is 1.5 yuan, but after reselling it, you still lose 2 mao (0.2 yuan)?
Wang Jian even jumped out and shouted:
"Comrade, you're really greedy! The supply and marketing cooperative offered us 1.6 yuan for Polygonatum, and we didn't even sell it! But you, you cut it down to 1.3 yuan!"
Su Zhengdang secretly curled his lip. The Funing County Supply and Marketing Cooperative must be crazy. How dare they buy this kind of stuff for 1.6 yuan?
Does he think the country's money grows on trees? Little did he know that Mo Qijing's initial offer of 1.6 yuan was conditional, with a limited quantity of high-quality goods available for purchase.
...
The purchasing department office on the second floor of the hospital.
Several sacks were piled up in the corner, containing 600 catties of Polygonatum and Panax notoginseng that Zhang Cheng had just acquired.
Zhou Qiyuan beamed and diligently brewed tea for Zhang Cheng with his newly bought purple clay teapot.
"Xiao Zhang, have a taste. It's a pre-Qingming Longjing tea that I had someone bring from the provincial capital. I don't really know much about it."
Zhang Cheng was secretly delighted by his smug, self-satisfied expression. He picked up his teacup, blew on it, and gulped it down.
"Good tea! Actually, I don't know much about it."
Zhou Qiyuan's lips twitched, inwardly cursing that this tea was not cheap.
He cleared his throat and leaned closer: "Xiao Zhang, give me a hint, can those treasury bonds really make money?"
He always felt that Zhang Cheng had obtained some inside information.
Zhang Cheng grinned: "Brother Zhou, if you trust the country, you can make money!"
"How about I take some too, like you?"
Zhou Qiyuan calculated that he had made a net profit of nearly five thousand yuan from these collaborations with Zhang Cheng, and the money was burning hot in his hands.
Zhang Cheng shrugged: "You make the decision yourself. Don't blame me if you lose or gain."
"Look at what you're saying, how could I not trust you, brother?" Zhou Qiyuan chuckled. "I'll go get three thousand yuan worth of treasury bonds later!"
"Zhang Cheng!" The office door was suddenly pushed open.
Liu Yihan rushed in like a gust of wind. She was wearing a fashionable red wool coat, blinked her big eyes, and ran straight to Zhang Cheng.
"You've been in the county town for so many days, why haven't you come to visit me?"
Before Zhang Cheng could speak, Zhou Qiyuan coughed first:
"Yihan! Xiao Zhang came to the county town on official business! Also, from now on, knock before entering the office. A girl should be more reserved!"
Liu Yihan seemed not to hear, and reached out to grab Zhang Cheng's arm, her eyes full of expectation: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight, are you coming?"
Zhang Cheng calmly withdrew his hand: "I have something to do tonight."
"What about tomorrow night?" Liu Yihan persisted.
"I have plans for tomorrow night too." One Li Yuanyuan is already enough of a headache for him, and he doesn't want to get involved with another one.
Liu Yihan pouted, and her eyes instantly reddened. Her pitiful appearance softened Zhou Qiyuan's heart.
"Hey Zhang, how about... coming over for a casual dinner tonight? You've helped me earn so much money, and I haven't properly treated you yet!"
Zhou Qiyuan smoothed things over.
Zhang Cheng was about to refuse.
Liu Yihan immediately stopped crying and smiled, eager to speak:
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go to my brother-in-law's house for dinner! I'll go tell my sister right now and ask her to prepare some good dishes!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already turned and run out of the office.
