797: Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory in Beijing
At this time, the deer farm had grown to a considerable size and had started to generate revenue.
Every year they cut deer antlers and sell them to pharmaceutical companies at the foot of the mountain, making a lot of money for the forest farm.
When nearby farms heard that this business was profitable, they also had the idea of setting up deer farms and would come here to buy fawns.
In addition, zoos from all over the country came to buy deer, so the deer farm's business was very good. It soon became profitable, and the profits increased year by year.
The number of deer species they raised also increased.
Soon, their deer farm became famous locally.
Later, animal experts from the provincial capital heard that there were many wild deer in the deer farm here, so they came here specifically to study the living habits of the deer.
The deer farm is much more famous than the Mishan Forest Farm.
This year, two people came to the deer farm to buy antlers.
One of these two people is the manager of a traditional Chinese medicine factory, and the other is his assistant.
When the two arrived at the deer farm, Yu Zhengxian and Xiao Wu were sawing deer antlers.
They tied the fawn to several pillars and secured it. Xiao Wu was responsible for holding the fawn, while Yu Zhengxian took a hacksaw specially used for sawing off deer antlers. He moved quickly and sawed off a piece of antler in a few strokes.
The two men stood by and watched Yu Zhengxian saw off the antlers with skillful movements, sprinkled hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder on the wound, and then released the fawn.
The manager watched with great interest and nodded in appreciation:
"Master, you are very experienced."
Yu Zhengxian glanced at the manager:
"Do you want to buy deer antlers?"
"Well, I'm the manager of a traditional Chinese medicine factory. I heard that the deer antlers here are of good quality, so I came all the way here to take a look and buy some."
"I'm sorry, the existing velvet antlers are sold out. The fresh ones are being cut, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while."
"Really? Your business is so good."
Yu Zhengxian had no time to chat with the manager. He had to process the freshly cut velvet antlers as soon as possible, otherwise they would rot over time and affect the quality of the velvet antlers.
The manager didn't disturb him, but just watched him work quietly, seeming to appreciate his actions.
After Yu Zhengxian washed the fresh antlers, cleaned the fluff and blood on them, he wrapped them with thread, tied them to a rack, and repeatedly put them in water to scald them. While scalding, he observed the incision and sniffed it from time to time. When he had smelled it enough, he hung it aside to wait for it to dry.
After finishing this batch of deer antlers, the manager was still watching by the side. He had been watching for more than an hour and seemed very patient.
Yu Zhengxian then began to greet him:
"Hello, I'm Yu Zhengxian, the deer farm manager."
The manager was surprised to hear that he was the director:
"So you are the director. Hello, I am the manager of the Chinese Medicine Factory. My last name is Wang."
After saying this, Manager Wang looked at Yu Zhengxian again:
"As a farm manager, you're quite young, but you're very experienced. I heard that you built this deer farm single-handedly, is that right?"
"Yes, I've been taking care of it myself since the first deer arrived at the forest farm."
“So, you can raise deer?”
Yu Zhengxian showed an expression that said, "Are you not talking nonsense?" and replied politely:
"Yes, I can raise deer, cut antlers, make antlers, and do simple medical treatments for deer."
Manager Wang nodded thoughtfully, was silent for a moment, and asked:
"Can I stay at the deer farm for a few days and learn some deer-raising techniques from you?"
Yu Zhengxian was unwilling to take in someone of unknown origin and directly refused:
"cannot."
“——”
"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you now, but you can't stay here."
Manager Wang chuckled twice:
"The technique of raising deer is not something you can learn in one go. I need to observe for a few days to learn it myself."
"Raising deer is not something you can learn in a day or two. You need to live with deer for at least a year or two to learn how to take good care of them. It's impossible to learn how to raise deer in just a few days."
Manager Wang nodded in agreement:
"That makes sense. Then, could I send a worker to your place for an internship for a year or two? Or, could I hire one of your deer breeders to work at our Chinese medicine factory? We also want to set up our own deer farm and produce our own deer products."
After hearing what Manager Wang said, Yu Zhengxian and Xiao Wu looked at each other. It turned out that Manager Wang's main purpose was not to buy deer antlers at all, but to steal their skills and poach some of their employees.
Yu Zhengxian's already impatient attitude turned even colder:
"We are a deer farm, not a training class for your pharmaceutical factory!"
Seeing that Yu Zhengxian was about to kick him out, Manager Wang became more amiable:
"Director Yu, listen to me carefully——"
The assistant behind Manager Wang saw that their manager was so unwelcome and stepped forward to argue:
"How can you be so arrogant? You're just the deer farm manager. What's so great about you? Our Manager Wang is the manager of the Qingtai Chinese Medicine Factory, the largest in Beijing. You'd better be polite!"
“!!”
The two words "Beijing" were like two thin needles that suddenly pierced Yu Zhengxian's heart.
He raised his eyes, looked at Manager Wang intently, and asked:
"Are you from the capital?"
"Yes, we are from the capital, the Qingtai Pharmaceutical Factory, the largest Chinese medicine factory in the capital."
“——” Yu Zhengxian half opened his mouth, his heart churning violently.
He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu came over and, usually taciturn, helped Yu Zhengxian ask:
"Why did you come all the way from the capital to buy deer antlers?"
Manager Wang smiled:
"There's a saying that the Northeast has three treasures: mink fur, deer antlers, and Ula grass. Northeastern deer antlers are of the best quality, so we came all the way from Beijing to look for them. When we got here, we heard you have a deer farm in Mishan Forest Farm, and the antlers there are especially good, so we came here to visit."
"Uh, this..." Yu Zhengxian seemed to have just come to his senses.
His attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. He wiped his hands on his pants and said solemnly, "
"Hello, Manager Wang, I'm so sorry for what happened just now!"
Manager Wang also extended his hand and shook hands with Yu Zhengxian, not caring that Yu Zhengxian had just processed fresh deer antlers.
Yu Zhengxian added:
"Manager Wang, let's go inside and have some tea!"
Manager Wang was a little puzzled. Why did Director Yu react so strongly and his attitude suddenly became so nice when he heard that he was from Beijing? It was really strange.
But no matter what, Manager Wang was still very happy:
"Okay, let's go inside and talk."
Yu Zhengxian solemnly invited the person into the deer farm's office.
It is called an office, but it is actually more like a warehouse. It is messy everywhere and does not look like an office at all. There are just a few tables and chairs.
Yu Zhengxian politely brought a chair for Manager Wang and even used a towel to shake off the dust.
"Come, Manager Wang, please take a seat!"
Manager Wang sat down without hesitation.
Yu Zhengxian was busy pouring water for Manager Wang.
After pouring the water, Yu Zhengxian sat down beside him and asked with a smile:
"Manager Wang, you just said that your pharmaceutical factory wants to open a deer farm, right?"
"yes."
"Um, uh, are you guys short of people who can raise deer?"
