Chapter 224 A Society Based on Personal Connections



Deputy Mayor Xu was slightly taken aback.

If he hadn't known that Wang Tianxiao had already achieved remarkable success in cultivating medicinal herbs, and hadn't previously spoken with Wang Tianxiao at length, he would have been in a different situation.

He must have thought that Wang Tianxiao was a braggart.

But ironically, he had a pretty good impression of Wang Tianxiao, so when he heard these words coming from Wang Tianxiao's mouth, the meaning of them changed a lot.

It became the dream of an idealistic young person.

He was overjoyed.

Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to teach Wang Tianxiao a lesson, to tell this guy who made money not to be too arrogant, and to get some sponsorship for the school.

But unexpectedly, I met such a young man, which was a completely unexpected bonus.

As the deputy mayor, and perhaps even soon to become mayor, he had seen many outstanding young people, but someone like Wang Tianxiao was quite rare.

He said to Wang Tianxiao with anticipation, "Comrade Wang, do you have any good ideas? Tell me about them."

Wang Tianxiao pointed to the mountain behind him, then to the wasteland in front of him, and laughed, "We have this mountain behind us. Because of the varying altitudes, the climate on the mountain is very diverse, making it particularly suitable for growing medicinal herbs. But to be honest, the medicinal herbs I currently grow can only be sold outside the region, earning only the most basic, unprofitable profit."

Think about it, you can make more money from raw materials.

Take flue-cured tobacco as an example. We only sell a little over one yuan per kilogram of flue-cured tobacco. How many packs of cigarettes can be rolled from one kilogram of flue-cured tobacco, and how much does each pack of cigarettes cost? Therefore, if we do not develop the downstream economy and remain in the primitive output stage, we can only act as a supplier base for others.

We work so hard, but others take the lion's share of the profits, leaving us only scraps. Therefore, Mayor Xu, my suggestion is that we should purposefully and strategically develop industries that suit our unique characteristics. Even if we can't produce anything too complex due to limitations, we should definitely try basic processing.

As Wang Tianxiao spoke, he began to lose control of his words.

He saw Mayor Xu smiling at him and suddenly realized he had said too much, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Mayor Xu, I was just saying it casually, so please just take it with a grain of salt. I don't have your foresight, I can only see the immediate issues. If I said anything wrong, please forgive me."

"Sure, sure!"

Deputy Mayor Xu said "okay" twice in a row, and said to the people accompanying him, "Look, look, isn't this young man a talent? I knew it! I felt so happy today, it turns out I was going to meet him."

He then said to Wang Tianxiao, "Comrade Wang, what you said today has been very enlightening for me, and you could even say it has broadened my horizons. I listened carefully and understood it. Well then, it's getting late today. If you have time another day, come and talk to me further. I'd like to hear your complete thoughts."

Wang Tianxiao nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a more detailed report another day."

"Okay, that's all for today. You've learned a lot."

Deputy Mayor Xu, still feeling the conversation was not over, shook hands with Wang Tianxiao to say goodbye.

Wang Tianxiao stood by the roadside watching the group walk away, his previous thoughts deepening.

With government support, it would be much easier to set up a traditional Chinese medicine manufacturing company here, or a company that produces raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine.

After all, having government backing makes things much easier than creating difficulties on your own.

well.

He sighed.

He had so many things he wanted to do that he felt he never had enough time.

Moreover, their talents are insufficient.

If he's growing herbs, he can find someone to guide him while he does it, but if he's producing medicine, even if it's just providing raw materials to pharmaceutical companies, that's not a simple matter.

He doesn't understand the relevant procedures.

I don't know the laws and regulations either.

Furthermore, there is no relevant technology or process.

Everything is a blank slate; how easy is it to develop anything from scratch?

If he really wanted to stay in the mountains, it would be much simpler; he could survive by hunting and farming.

But to actually accomplish something, you must constantly force yourself to learn more and explore more channels.

Furthermore, it allows us to meet and collaborate with more outstanding individuals.

You need to recognize your own shortcomings.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about this for now.

Let's take it one step at a time; we'll find a way eventually.

Many successful people in this era started from scratch and achieved great things, so why can't he?

Who is worse than whom?

Besides, he at least already knew the general trend.

.

The harvesting of medicinal herbs is still ongoing, but it is basically coming to an end.

The yield was even higher than Wang Tianxiao had imagined. The two types of produce together had already yielded 200,000 jin, and there should still be 20% left to be harvested in the fields.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Everyone suggested that Wang Tianxiao should just continue planting like this next year. The profits are good, the yield is good, and after a few years, he could become a millionaire.

But Wang Tianxiao had already made a plan.

He will still plant some low-value herbs, like dandelion and artemisia capillaris, this year, but he will also try planting at least ten different kinds of suitable herbs.

This is not just because he wants drug diversity.

More importantly, he actually knew that the decline of traditional Chinese medicine was an unstoppable trend.

In the next decade, traditional Chinese medicine will face an unprecedented challenge.

The demand for various herbs will decrease significantly.

Therefore, if only a few types of herbs are grown, the planter may face the passive situation of being unable to sell even at low prices.
