"Ah... Haha, Mr. Mi, please don't joke like that. You startled me. I was just wondering what I did wrong that made you unhappy."
"Heh, look how cautious you are. Come on, unload the stuff and weigh it."
The porters at the supply and marketing station unloaded all the goods and placed them on the weighbridge. After weighing them, it weighed 2,740 jin (approximately 1,867 kg).
Mi Qingsong arranged for them to be moved to the drying kiln.
Then, Wang Tianxiao was taken to calculate the expenses.
"Xiao Wang, although we are familiar with each other and have a good relationship, we still need to keep clear accounts even between brothers."
"That's right, that's right, everything is done according to the rules."
Wang Tianxiao naturally had no objections.
"Because the price of herbs changes every year, we can't look at past prices. This year's guidance price is five yuan per kilogram for dandelion and six yuan per kilogram for artemisia capillaris. That's two yuan and three yuan per jin (500 grams), right?"
"right."
"However, our original requirement for purchasing these was that they be dried. You see, the parts that the villagers brought over, which they picked themselves in the wild, were all dried very thoroughly before they could be brought in. So I'll have to give you an additional 40% discount on top of the original price. The dandelion will be 1.5 yuan, and the artemisia capillaris will be 1.8 yuan. What do you think?"
After a moment's thought, Wang Tianxiao smiled and said, "Old Mi, 40% is a bit too much water. Although the villagers have dried their water, they certainly haven't dried it to that extent. How about this? I won't make any assumptions, let's go with 70%."
“30% off…” Mi Qingsong thought for a moment and then smiled, “Then 30% off is fine. Considering the quality of your herbs is not bad, let’s do it this way. Let’s go to the warehouse to get the invoice, and then go to the finance department to get the money.”
"Okay, sure."
Mi Qingsong was very enthusiastic and personally guided Wang Tianxiao through the entire process.
The total amount of dandelion was about 1,200 catties, and artemisia capillaris was about 1,500 catties. According to the agreed price, after deducting any extra change, the total price was 5,250 yuan.
Wang Tianxiao held a thick wad of cash in his hand, feeling very satisfied.
This is the true joy of achievement.
Based on this purchase price, he estimates that this year's output will be around 200,000 jin, which, on average, would be worth 400,000 yuan per jin.
Excluding all labor, vehicle, and communication costs, it would definitely cost at least 300,000.
A very fruitful experience.
Perhaps if he were reborn, he could have made that money faster by buying stocks or trading treasury bonds in big cities, but his sense of joy would certainly not have been as strong.
He finally understood why, even though the grain produced in the fields in his previous life could not fully cover the manpower and resources invested by the farmers, the people still insisted on farming.
On the one hand, they were worried about not having enough food to eat.
More importantly, perhaps this joy of harvest is what truly makes farmers feel their existence.
Just like workers receiving their wages, just like scientists achieving research results.
This sense of satisfaction is better than anything else.
After finishing his work, Wang Tianxiao bought some snacks for several staff members at the supply and marketing station and delivered them to them, including the two staff members who had greeted him the first time he visited.
He has always valued these things.
I never look down on others, nor do I overestimate myself.
So wherever he goes, he is very popular.
Afterwards, Wang Tianxiao insisted on inviting Elder Mi out for a meal.
It's the same familiar mutton noodles.
It's the same place where they treated us to rice last time.
During the meal, Wang Tianxiao actually probed a sensitive issue with Old Mi: whether or not he should give him a small token of gratitude.
Well, he felt it was necessary, since Mr. Mi had helped him a lot in private and given him a lot of guidance.
But Mr. Ke's status is special, and it would be really unfair to him if he were to suffer a bad reputation because of this.
After all, many people in this era are not very materialistic; they live by their ideals alone. If he were to express his gratitude at this time, it would only be like throwing mud at someone.
Sure enough, when Wang Tianxiao raised even the slightest point, Elder Mi immediately shook his head, signaling Wang Tianxiao not to continue.
That was the end of that matter.
However, Wang Tianxiao quickly came up with another "bad idea".
He tried asking Mr. Mi if he would be willing to go to his place, do nothing but ask to be his mentor, and he would pay for it.
Anyway, Mr. Mi has already retired, so his current job here is just a way of contributing his expertise.
Unexpectedly, he was still rejected by Mr. Mi.
Mr. Mi did not give a specific reason, so Wang Tianxiao did not ask for details.
That's enough.
He fulfilled his wish, and Mr. Mi had his own principles. They respected and understood each other. Although they were a generation apart in age, they got along very well.
The two chatted for a while, and Wang Tianxiao brought up the issue of the next steps in selling the medicinal herbs.
Mr. Mi then said that he had informed a vice president of the provincial Chinese medicine group, who was his old classmate, and that someone would be sent over to discuss the price and supply method.
Wang Tianxiao had originally planned to offer a price difference so that Old Mi could make some money, but now it seems that he has no intention of getting involved at all. At most, he will just act as a bridge on the front line. He can truly be considered a senior with noble character and integrity.
.
On the first day of July, Wang Tianyi returned with Xiao Hongwei.
After treatment, the child's complexion improved significantly. Although he was still very thin, he had regained his vitality.
Wang Tianxiao originally thought that since Wang Tianren was in such a deadbeat state, he definitely wouldn't be able to take good care of the child if he left him with him. So, he decided to keep the child with him.
Everyone is very proactive in seeking medical treatment, but when it comes to deciding where to put the child for care...
That means no one would be willing.
