Chapter 242: Medicinal Materials That Will Rise in Price in a Few Years
Lin Heng had also been to Ancheng before and knew where the machinery factory was, but he couldn't go there directly, as that would be very strange.
However, it was easy to inquire, and soon they arrived at the Red Star Machinery Factory, the largest one in the north of the city. The types of machinery produced in this factory were very diverse.
After Lin Heng came in, a middle-aged man came to greet him. He was a little surprised to see that Lin Heng and the other two were so young.
"What kind of machinery do you three need to buy?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Lin Heng glanced at him and asked, "Do you have a large oxygenator for raising fish and shrimp?"
"Of course, come with me." The middle-aged man nodded with a smile and took Lin Heng to the factory.
The principle of a large aerator is very simple. It uses a motor to drive the impeller to rotate in the water to produce a large number of bubbles, so that the water and air are fully in contact, allowing oxygen to better integrate into the water.
"The aerators we manufacture are mainly suspended, that is, they float on the water. According to the power, there are four models: 750 watts, 1,500 watts, 2,200 watts, and 3,000 watts. They are also divided into 220 volts and 380 volts, which can be used in water bodies of different sizes. They are guaranteed to be replaced within three years and repaired within five years."
After the middle-aged man finished his introduction, he smiled and asked, "Which one do you want to buy?"
Lin Heng and the other two looked around. Lin Yue and Lin Hai in particular were very curious about this thing as they had never seen it before.
"What are the prices for the 220-volt ones?" Lin Heng asked again. Hongfeng Mountain cannot provide three-phase electricity, and the 380-volt ones cannot be used if they are bought back.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The prices are 150, 180, 200, 230, and 250 respectively. The smallest 750 watts can be used for a pond of one acre."
Lin Heng nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "How much are the small lawn mower and crusher?"
"For home use, the cheapest lawn mower costs 80 yuan, and the cheapest shredder costs 100 yuan." The middle-aged man continued.
Lin Heng could still accept this price. In this era, prices in state-owned enterprises were fixed and there was no such thing as bargaining.
The concept of bargaining only came into being when there were more private enterprises and self-employed individuals in later generations and market economy policies were implemented.
"Is there a feed machine?" Lin Heng asked again.
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. "We have this, but only large ones, which are sold to feed factories. The cheapest set costs 28,000 yuan. There are grinding equipment, mixing equipment, compression equipment, granulation equipment, drying equipment, and crushing equipment. Extrusion equipment and packaging equipment are not included."
"The domestic breeding industry is booming right now, so it's easy to sell feed if you open a feed factory."
After saying that, he added one more sentence.
Lin Heng nodded. He really wanted to open a feed processing plant. He had processed feed himself in his previous life and knew many feed proportions.
These days, the domestic feed production industry is just starting out, and opening a feed factory is definitely a great opportunity, especially as more and more people are engaged in breeding over time, and feed is in short supply.
Lin Heng also has a plan in mind to build a company with a full industrial chain from feed production to breeding technology guidance. Now he will slowly accumulate capital, and when the market economy policy comes later, he will frantically seize market share and expand into a leading enterprise in feed production.
It's a pity that I can't afford these things now, but there's no need to rush, there will still be opportunities in the near future. By next year, I should have enough capital to open a feed production plant.
Unlike the provincial capital Ancheng, which is so developed, there are only a few people engaged in breeding in Taibai City, let alone feed production factories.
"Let's do this again. I'll buy three 2,200-watt aerators, one 750-watt one, one shredder and one lawn mower, and another 1,500-watt water pump." Lin Heng said to the middle-aged man.
Of course, he didn't have the money to buy one for all the ponds, and that was not realistic either. So he just bought four and used them at home.
"Hello, the 1,500-watt water pump is worth 150 yuan, so the total is 1,080 yuan. Let's go over there and sign the contract."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately smiled and took Lin Heng and the other two to the office in front.
After signing the contract, Lin Heng paid the deposit and will pay the balance when he comes to pick up the goods tomorrow.
It was already noon when we finished all this. The sun was high in the sky and the streets were bustling with people and cars. It was much more prosperous than Taibai City.
Lin Hai looked at the street and said with emotion: "You really spend money like water. Brother Lin Heng, the money you spent today is enough for an average person to earn in eight or nine years."
"If you want to make money, you have to spend money first. There's no other way. It's cheaper to buy from the main factory in Ancheng." Lin Heng sighed. Things like oxygenators are not sold in Taibai City.
The prices of some other equipment are much higher than here.
"So what should we do now?" Lin Yue said with a breath.
Lin Heng smiled and went up the driveway: "Come on, I'll take you to Ancheng to have some fun and see the world."
After the two got in the car, Lin Heng took them to Ancheng to eat the very distinctive cold skin and roujiamo here, and then took them to see the large number of ancient buildings preserved here, which were all royal territories in ancient times.
Lin Heng also took the opportunity to visit many places. These places are still farmland now, but in 20 or 30 years, they will be places where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. If he just buys a piece of land, his descendants will not have to worry about the future.
What he needs to do now is to accumulate capital, so that he can have enough money to take over these important places.
"This is Ancheng. As expected of a provincial capital, it's really big and prosperous."
Lin Yue sighed as he looked at the ancient tower in the distance.
Lin Hai put his arm around Lin Heng's shoulder and said with a smile, "I've really learned a lot following Brother Lin Heng this time."
"Let's go and take a walk. I guess you guys also want to bring some gifts for your families." Lin Heng said with a smile.
After another round of shopping, the three of them bought some small gifts for their families.
"We're here. This is it."
Not long after, Lin Heng came to a second-hand book market selling books and stationery.
"This is a great place. I'm also planning to buy some books." Lin Hai said with a smile.
After wandering around the market for a while, Lin Heng was choosing books with a sack. He probably knew which books were good and just packed them in the sack.
These old books cost a few cents each, while the hardcover ones are only about one dollar.
"Brother Lin, this magazine is good, isn't it?"
Lin Yue said while holding a Reader's Digest.
"It's lost, that's bullshit." Lin Heng waved his hand and said, a reader and Yi Lin, they are both fucking cancer, poisoning a generation, he doesn't want his family to be affected too.
Although the Times Reader had only been around for four years, so the prices might not be that outrageous, he still wouldn’t buy it.
What Israelis are killing money by reading 64 books a year, what Westerners have to read when taking the subway, what Jews are the smartest, it's pure nonsense, they only know how to deceive people in China who don't understand.
He was also deceived for a long time in his previous life and thought it was so awesome. Later, when technology developed and his thinking matured, he finally understood the truth.
"Don't slander if you don't buy them. These are all good books." said the stall owner unconvinced.
Lin Heng glanced at him, looking at him like an idiot. At the stall next to the bank, he bought a set of hardcover Selected Works of Mao Zedong and a hardcover Capital. These are the Bibles that Chinese people should read.
After a walk around the market, he bought two sacks of used books and some new books, totaling more than 200 books, which cost him more than 80 yuan.
After stacking the books in the car, Lin Heng found a high-end hotel at night, which cost five dollars a night, and also stored his car there.
That night, apart from someone occasionally slipping small cards through the door, no one disturbed us at all.
The next morning, Lin Heng went to the transport station to load the truck and first went to the machinery factory to load the goods.
After testing the machine at the machinery factory and making sure there were no problems, he quickly loaded it onto the car, and Lin Heng also settled the balance that he had prepared.
Then we came to the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute.
"Are the saplings I ordered yesterday ready?" Lin Heng found the salesperson from yesterday and asked.
"The grape trees and apple trees have all been dug up, and the rest are still being dug. It will be finished by noon." The salesperson said apologetically.
"Is that so?" Lin Heng nodded and asked, "Do you have any seeds of Chinese medicinal herbs such as ginseng and turmeric?"
"Yes, ginseng seeds are five yuan per pound, and turmeric roots are ten cents per pound." The salesperson nodded.
"Where are the Forsythia suspensa and Astragalus membranaceus seeds?" Lin Heng asked again.
"Yes, we have them. Forsythia seeds are three yuan per catty, and astragalus seeds are five yuan per catty." The salesperson continued.
Lin Heng thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll buy another 20 kilograms of ginseng seeds, 5 kilograms each of forsythia and astragalus seeds, and 200 kilograms of turmeric seeds."
The prices of these Chinese medicinal materials will increase significantly in the future, and they will be in short supply. If you plant them now and wait for a few years, you can easily make a lot of money.
"Let's wait until the end and settle the bill together." The salesperson wrote it down on a piece of paper and said to Lin Heng.
"Okay, take us to plant the fruit tree seedlings first." Lin Heng nodded.
Under the guidance of the salesperson, the truck drove into the seedling base from the side, and Lin Heng and others went to supervise the loading.
The saplings are bare-rooted without soil balls, and ten saplings form a small bundle, and ten small bundles form a large bundle. Then the roots are dipped in some yellow mud water and loaded onto the truck.
Lin Heng just watched from the side, checking whether the goods were up to standard. Lin Hai and his elder brother Lin Yue enthusiastically helped to move the goods. People in the countryside were like this, happy to help.
Finally, fifty more trees were sent to prevent insufficient quantity or death of the seedlings.
The kiwi seedlings had just started to be dug, so Lin Heng had to go get the seeds first, and then go get the strawberry seedlings.
"Brother, what are you doing with these strawberry seedlings?" Lin Yue asked curiously. He had never seen this kind of fruit before.
Lin Hai interrupted and said, "I know. Tian Yan said this is a very delicious fruit that was introduced from foreign countries. We don't have it in our small place."
"Yes, strawberries are delicious and easy to grow." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.
This type of large-grained strawberry was introduced to China in 1915, and has only spread in recent years, reaching the entire country in the 1990s.
"It looks very similar to snakeberry." Lin Yue said while looking at the strawberry seedlings in the cultivation bag.
"This is much bigger than snakeberry and tastes better. You'll know when it bears fruit." Lin Heng said with a smile.
The same goes for watermelon seeds. The latest watermelon seeds bred by the Agricultural Science Station are much sweeter and more resistant to diseases and pests than the original ones.
The same goes for other crop seeds. Lin Heng believes that his family's bumper harvest this year will shock everyone in the village, and the yield of local seeds will be crushed.
Soon Lin Heng and his team had installed all the seedlings, except for the kiwi seedlings.
"Let's go eat first." Lin Heng said with a smile.
I took the driver out for a meal and gave him a pack of cigarettes. The pockmarked driver immediately smiled happily.
"Boss Lin, do you have twenty-five?" the pockmarked driver asked with a smile.
"Twenty-one." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"So young." The pockmarked driver was even more shocked. For a 21-year-old to be able to buy these things, his family must be extraordinary.
The things he bought today must have cost two or three thousand yuan.
Lin Heng smiled and didn't explain.
After dinner, we returned to the Agricultural Science Institute and dug out the remaining kiwi seedlings, counted them, and loaded them onto the truck.
"Wait a minute, leave some space on the side, don't put it over there."
Seeing the driver giving blind instructions for loading, Lin Heng quickly stopped him.
"What's the matter? Do you want to buy anything else?" the pockmarked driver turned his head and asked.
"Yes, I also want to buy two dairy cows, and keep this place for them." Lin Heng nodded.
"Okay then." The pockmarked driver was startled and took control of this side.
"Mr. Lin, all the goods have been loaded." The salesperson came over and said, holding the documents.
"Okay then, I'll go over and pay the bill."
Lin Heng nodded and followed him out to pay the bill. He had already withdrawn the money in the morning.
After paying the bill, Lin Heng asked his elder brother Lin Yue to sit in the passenger seat, while Lin Heng drove the tricycle with Lin Hai.
There is a dairy cow farm in Ancheng, and Lin Heng had already found out the exact location yesterday.
We started eating and went straight to the outside of the farm.
"Who are you?"
Hearing the sound of the car, a middle-aged man soon came out and looked at Lin Heng and others curiously.
"You sell dairy cows here, right?" Lin Heng asked.
"Yes, I sell it here." The middle-aged man nodded.
"How much is an adult dairy cow? How much is a calf?" Lin Heng asked.
He now has more than 730 yuan on him, and the 3,000 yuan he brought with him has almost been spent.
But cows aren't that expensive.
"Three-year-old adult dairy cows are six hundred yuan each, and five-month-old calves are one hundred and twenty-one." The boss looked at Lin Heng and said.
"Let's take a look at the cow first. What breed of cow do you have?" Lin Heng asked, pointing to the cow's price which was undoubtedly too high, but now was not the time to bargain.
"Please come in." The boss took a look at Lin Heng's attire and invited him in with a smile.
After entering the house, Lin Heng found that the factory was not small. After asking, he found out that there were more than 150 dairy cows in total, which was considered a large scale.
"The cows I have here are all Dutch cows, they have high milk production, strong adaptability, and large milk-producing organs."
The middle-aged man pointed at the cows and introduced them as he spoke.
Lin Heng nodded and said, "I know, this cattle is a breed introduced by the Shandong cattle and sheep breeding base. Its full name is Holstein cattle, but yours should be a hybrid, but I don't know what kind of cattle it was hybridized with.
Don't you have Ayrshire or Brown Swiss here? They're both good."
As soon as Lin Heng said this, the boss looked at him differently. This was not a newbie, but a colleague who knew dairy cows very well.
