The driver was a local named Batu, who was Liu's partner.
Batu is a Mongolian from Maguan, a grass and fruit business, and his family is very well off.
Although the Mongolian people in Wenshan are not large in number, they are united and can protect them.
"Brother Liu, Boss Chen, what are you planning to get this time?"
Batu asked.
Now is not the time to do straw and fruit, and Big Lao Liu is definitely not here to do straw and fruit.
"Brother Batu is so polite. I came here with Brother Chen this time. He wants to see the medicinal materials."
The elder Liu is also an experienced businessman and his speech is impeccable.
"Medicinal materials? No problem. I'm familiar with the boss there, so I'll send you to Wenzhou."
Batu didn't take it seriously either.
He and Big Lao Liu have been partners for many years. Even if Big Lao Liu doesn't buy his goods, he still has to entertain him warmly.
When doing business, you have to take a long-term view.
If you don’t buy it this time, it doesn’t mean you won’t buy it next time.
Soon, Batu sent the two of them to Wenzhou Medicinal Materials Market.
Wenzhou's market is not big, with only a few hundred households, and its main business is basically Panax notoginseng and a small amount of other medicinal materials.
Now is the time when Spring Panax notoginseng is released, and the entire market is basically occupied by Panax notoginseng.
Wenshan is the main producing area of Panax notoginseng, which is called Tianqi in the industry.
In 2001, the output of Panax notoginseng was approximately 10 million tons, 90% of which came from Wenshan.
In the past, Panax notoginseng was a common medicinal material and its price was not high.
However, a Panax notoginseng fever occurred in the mid-1990s, which put this medicine on the altar.
Now Panax notoginseng has broken away from the category of ordinary medicinal materials and has become a miracle drug among the people.
Many bosses have also taken advantage of this to set up franchises.
In fact, in terms of usage, Panax notoginseng is still a niche medicinal material and cannot be compared with those commonly used medicinal materials.
The annual output of Yunzhou Panax notoginseng is only 7 to 8 million kilograms, and most of it is sold to large pharmaceutical companies such as Yunyao and Guangyao.
Only about three to four million kilograms are left that can flow into the market.
Panax notoginseng is divided into spring Panax notoginseng and winter Panax notoginseng. The quality and price of Spring Panax notoginseng are higher than those of Winter Panax notoginseng.
This time period is exactly when the Spring Panax notoginseng is released.
Chen Yang and Da Lao Liu walked around the market and briefly looked at the goods.
The patent medicine of Panax notoginseng is divided into heads, incisions, tendons and roots according to its parts.
The head, or taproot, is the essence of Panax notoginseng and is also the main medicinal part.
The so-called medicinal material Panax notoginseng refers to the head. As for other parts, they are basically auxiliary materials.
The price of Panax notoginseng is graded according to its size.
This is the same as sea cucumber and abalone.
The bigger it is, the longer it has grown, and the higher the price.
Generally speaking, those with more than 20 heads are special goods, those with more than 50 heads are high-quality goods, those with more than 120 heads are normal goods, and those with less than 120 heads are inferior goods.
What is common in the market are high-quality products and normal products.
Special-grade goods are generally purchased by large pharmaceutical companies and import and export companies, and are simply invisible to ordinary people.
The inferior goods and auxiliary materials are used to purify the medicine, and most people don't know how to do it.
After going around for a while, Chen Yang basically had an idea.
"Boss Batu, I have something to trouble you with."
"Brother Liu's brother is my brother. If you have any questions, just tell him. As long as I, Batu, can help, I will definitely help."
"I want to process Panax notoginseng. Boss Batu can help me find a place."
"This is simple. I wonder how much Brother Chen plans to do?"
Batu took out the phone.
He is quite famous in Wenshan, so finding some goods will be no problem.
"I plan to produce two million kilograms of finished products this season?"
How many?
Batu's jaw almost dropped in shock.
Two million kilograms?
Damn it!
The annual output of Wenshan Chun Panax notoginseng is only five to six million kilograms.
Are you going to kill half of it in one breath?
"Brother, isn't it too fierce?"
Old Liu was also a little frightened.
"If you want to do it, naturally do it big."
Chen Yang smiled slightly.
Panax notoginseng will increase in price in the next ten years or so. If you process it in the place of production, you will definitely make a profit without losing money.
"Brother, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true."
"I would like to ask, how much are you going to invest?"
"It's 100 million in the initial stage, and more can be added later."
Sisi!
It was Batu's turn to take a breath of cold air.
One hundred million!
This young man is really generous.
You must know that the total annual output value of Wenshan Panax notoginseng is only about 400 million, which is even excluding the internal output of large pharmaceutical companies such as Yunyao and Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.
"If you have this capital, you can definitely buy the goods, but the key is that if you do so much, won't the bosses of other processing plants have objections?"
Batu reminded me kindly.
Except for the big pharmaceutical companies’ own pharmaceutical fields, the rest of the supply is basically in the hands of the bosses of the processing plants.
These people basically have regular partners.
By doing this, you are taking away half of the fresh products. Wouldn't you be offending the processing bosses?
"This is going to trouble Boss Batu. You are a local and you have prestige here. Go tell the bosses of those processing plants that I will charge one dollar higher than the market price for the currency they produce. If they don't want to
For processing, you can give me the source of goods, and I will give them a commission of 20 cents per kilogram."
Chen Yang had already thought about it.
"In this case, it's not a big problem."
Batu also nodded.
Are you willing to pay more?
Of course we can talk.
Chen Yang would not offend anyone by doing this.
Tianqi has been somewhat slow in recent years, and the price has not fluctuated much, so the boss of the processing plant is naturally happy with it.
As long as Chen Yang is willing to add money, let alone two million kilograms, even if the package is rounded, there is no need to ask.
"In this case, I will contact you first."
Batu took out his cell phone and started contacting people.
"Brother, I don't understand. Why can't we just buy it directly from them? Why do we have to process it here?"
For Liu, processing is too troublesome, so he might as well just buy it.
hehe!
Chen Yang smiled and said: "If we want to have the final say, we must participate in production. Otherwise, you will always be threatened by the bosses. Believe me, this is our long-term meal ticket."
In the next ten years, the overall market price of Panax notoginseng will rise. If we start processing now, we will get the admission ticket in advance.
All right!
Old Liu shrugged.
Since the little brother is so confident, he will naturally not say anything else.
Just do it and it’s done!
After dinner, Batu found a venue for Chen Yang, which was in the area where Tianqi is produced.
The agent also came over. His name was Buman. He was a young Zhuang guy with dark skin and looked very shy.
Batu told Chen Yang privately that although this young man may be shy, his family is still very prestigious in the local area.
After drinking and eating, Chen Yang and Liu got into Buman's pickup truck and arrived at the production area.
