369. Chapter 365 Getting Medicinal Materials at a Low Price
Li Duoyu really didn't expect that Manager An and the others would be so efficient and prepare the medicinal materials for him so quickly.
But it's understandable.
Old foxes like them in the workplace are generally not too eager for quick success and quick gains, but are anxious to show their strength.
Under normal circumstances, if he promises to get it done for you at noon, he will often have it done in the morning.
This approach has many benefits. One is to leave yourself a buffer of time, and when the time comes, if you complete things early, it will bring surprises to the other party.
After meeting, some surprised and respectful remarks must be dealt with naturally, otherwise it will be a bit inappropriate for his age.
Li Duoyu glanced at the medicinal materials in the back of the car. It was full. Six hundred kilograms of Chinese medicinal materials were filled with seventeen or eighteen bags of fertilizer.
The medicinal materials are all sun-dried and are not very heavy in the first place. It is estimated that one hundred kilograms of Artemisia annua would need to be packed in several fertilizer bags.
When saying hello, Li Duoyu noticed that although Manager An and Xiao Lin were smiling, the word "tired" was written on their faces.
Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask: "Manager An, did you stay up all night last night?"
An Yuliang replied: "I didn't stay up all night. I still slept a little, but I'm older and can't compare with you young people."
"Manager An looks very young."
"There are a lot of gray hairs, and my children are older than you, so they are still young."
Li Duoyu glanced at the fresh soil on the tires and already guessed that purchasing medicinal materials was not as simple as imagined.
"By the way, Manager An, how much do these medicinal materials cost?"
An Yuliang took out a handwritten list from his jacket pocket: "Director Li, the prices are all on it, please take a look."
Unlike many businessmen, Manager An is not the kind of person who likes to take credit. When we meet, he will talk about how difficult it is to acquire medicinal materials.
Because of this thing about you, I traveled to so many places and didn't sleep all night.
After seeing Li Duoyu read the quotation, An Yuliang continued: "Director Li, please see if the price is suitable. If not, we can continue to negotiate with the medicinal material dealer."
Li Duoyu glanced at the unit price of each Chinese medicinal material. The price of each medicinal material was different, and most of them cost more than one yuan per catty.
Among the more expensive ones, Chinese medicinal materials such as cork and betel nut are not available locally.
Products such as Artemisia annua, Guanzhong, Neem, and Baibu are found in the mountains, and the prices are relatively much cheaper.
The total amount of medicinal materials in the whole cart is only more than 900 yuan, which is less than 1,000 yuan. Compared with the price quoted by the herbal medicine shop on the street, it is really much cheaper.
Li Duoyu estimated that if he bought this cart of medicinal materials at a herbal shop on the street, he would have to pay at least double the price.
It can be said that Manager An did this for him, not only did he not earn a single cent, but he also spent his own time on it.
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Thank you so much. The price you gave me is so affordable."
Xiao Lin on the side laughed and said: "The flavors of cypress and neem are delivered from the factory, so they have to be calculated based on the ex-factory price, otherwise we can lower the price for you."
"No need, it's already very low."
Xiao Lin said: "By the way, Director Li, have you sailed over? If not, we can also arrange for you to send you to the island directly. However, our unit has to apply for a boat one day in advance, and it may not be delivered until tomorrow." ”
"Don't bother. I'm sailing the boat. If you continue to be so polite, I'll be embarrassed."
"We should do this. If you have a boat, I will help you carry the medicinal materials to the boat."
"No need."
An Yuliang smiled and said: "Director Li, you don't have to be polite to Xiao Lin. Just order him around and let him do more work. He can't drive a car or a boat. He even wants me to help him find a partner. If he doesn't let him Do some work, I feel unbalanced."
Seeing his boss exposing his shortcomings, Lin Haiqing was a little embarrassed: "I'm obviously very popular, but you insist on introducing me."
An Yuliang said disgustedly: "Didn't I introduce you well? Even if you are on a blind date, you will be so nervous that you will talk nonsense and be in hot demand."
Lin Haiqing frowned and said helplessly: "I can't help it. There are always things people are not good at. I'm just not good at talking to women."
"Why are you so bad at eating?"
"..."
Next, with Xiao Lin's help, the two of them walked directly towards the dock carrying a bag of Chinese herbal medicine.
As soon as Lin Haiqing, the "Little God of Wealth" arrived at the dock, many fishmongers who had no fish in their hands rushed to lick it.
"Manager Lin, what are you carrying? It's so heavy. Do you want me to help you?"
"No, I can do it myself."
Although Lin Haiqing refused, these enthusiastic fishmongers had already helped him carry the snakeskin bag.
"Manager Lin, which ship should these things be moved to?"
Lin Haiqing, who suddenly had nothing on his shoulders, saw Li Duoyu who was still carrying Chinese medicinal materials and asked: "Director Li, please give me the things. Which ship should we move the things to?"
Li Duoyu pointed to the fishing boat parked near the pier and said, "Move to the white one."
Lin Haiqing was shocked when he saw the boat. He noticed the boat when he first arrived at the dock today.
"Director Li, this boat really belongs to you."
Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."
There were several fishmongers nearby. After hearing Li Duoyu's exact answer, they couldn't help but say: Damn it.
This white fishing boat and its owner are definitely the hottest topics in the past two days at Rongcheng Pier. Many fishmongers already know Li Duoyu's true identity. But to them, Li Duoyu's death was the village director's bad luck.
They were envious, but they thought it was just that. After all, in their eyes, no matter how powerful those fishermen were, they would not have to beg them to buy seafood in the end.
As city dwellers, they still have a sense of superiority and often call coastal fishermen "fish catchers" in private.
Those pigeons were called "crooked legs" because they often lived in very short houseboats, and over time, bow legs appeared.
But what they didn't expect was.
Even the "Little God of Wealth" put down his dignity and took the initiative to help him, a young village director, carry medicinal materials. This made everyone think more and more wrong.
Someone was so shameless on the spot that they didn't even know what to call him: "Director Li Duoyu, let me help you move."
Li Duoyu was a little confused when the other party called out his name. In fact, he was really not familiar with the fishmonger at Rongcheng Pier.
"You know me?"
"Of course I know you. You are quite famous here. We read the newspaper and see you often."
Li Duoyu smiled and said nothing. A few days ago, the fishmongers didn't even recognize him.
This group of fishmongers who wanted to curry favor with Lin Haiqing "snatched" the Chinese medicinal materials from Li Duoyu's shoulders and helped move them to the fishing boat.
A total of four people came to help, and it only took three trips to finish moving the medicinal materials in the back of the car.
This made Li Duoyu realize that Manager An and Xiao Lin still had quite a lot of power. If they really wanted to cooperate with a fishmonger, it might not be as simple as making a little money.
After moving the herbs, Li Duoyu paid for the herbs on the spot and secretly stuffed a hard-earned fee into it. Unexpectedly, Manager An had already guarded against him, and counted the money on the spot.
"Hey~"
"Director Li, you seem to have ordered the wrong order and gave me ten more."
"That's it." Li Duoyu had no choice but to take the money back. Since he was rushing back to treat the eel, Li Duoyu stopped chatting with Manager An and the others.
Now he must race against those parasites if he can cure the eel before the ringworm breaks out.
That's his victory.
And in this summer weather, for every extra hour wasted, thousands of eels in the eel pond will be infected.
After paying the parking fee.
The fishing boat slowly left Rongcheng Pier. Li Duoyu wanted to ask Shitou to get up and eat steamed buns, but saw him huddled in the corner, sleeping quite deeply.
Li Duoyu covered him with a blanket, then drove the fishing boat back to Dandan Island.
On the pier.
A group of people looked at the fishing boat breaking through the water, with envy and jealousy on their faces.
"It must be very enjoyable to sail this boat."
"Is raising kelp really that profitable? How about we go to Shangfeng Town and build dozens of acres of kelp?"
"You think it's so easy? I heard someone said that Shangqi Village also raised kelp this year, but they didn't make a lot of money."
On a four-wheel agricultural vehicle, Lin Haiqing said: "Boss, do you know who owns the white fishing boat parked at the pier just now?"
"There are plenty of fish."
"how do you know?"
"You don't have to tell me, I've known for a long time that you and Director Li are about the same age. From now on, you will go to the island more and walk around with people. Maybe they will ask you to take a boat to go fishing in the open sea."
The circle in Rongcheng was very small. An Yuliang not only knew that the fishing boat belonged to Li Duoyu, he even knew about the incident at the Changwei Shipyard. Someone wanted to seize the boat, but ended up having it thrown away.
Even the second generation was forced to leave Rongcheng.
"Boss, why are you in the passenger seat?"
An Yuliang really couldn't help but want to kick him: "Last night, I was the one driving the car, and my waist was too thin. You will be the driver this month."
"Boss, I'm really afraid of driving, especially at night."
"You're not afraid if I shoot you, are you?"
Lin Haiqing: Woohoo~
"Boss, do you think that if we cooperate with Director Li next, can we change the general direction of our company?"
"I've thought too much about you. The general direction can't be changed so easily. We cooperate with Director Li. It just gives us an extra way out."
"So, the two of us will still be fired in the future. I heard that after our leadership reorganization is completed, we will be the first to be dealt with."
"That's not to say that it's just marginalized at most."
Lin Haiqing couldn't help complaining: "Boss, do you think there is something wrong with the leadership? They are not making money through existing channels and are engaging in reform and innovation."
An Yuliang glared and said:
"You've been talking more and more recently. Just talk about it outside. When you go back to the company, don't let anyone hear it."
"You know, I'm not that stupid."
