Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Four Prescriptions (National Day Month
In fact, the stock of Clivia on the market is certain.
After all, not everyone is like Xu Shiyan, who can predict in advance and cultivate so many flower seedlings early.
Most people only have one or two pots in their hands, which can hold up to three or five pots.
After these months of speculation, these traders in the provincial capital have purchased almost all the clivias in surrounding areas.
It should be said that except for relatively remote mountain villages like Daying and Dazhuang, most clivias are gathered in provincial capitals.
Either in major flower companies or in the hands of some factories and mining enterprises.
With the current price of Clivia, you need to have a lot of money to get a foothold in it.
Basically, individuals don't have to think about it. Most of the people who can play well are various units.
Most of these people only want short-term investment. No one is still thinking about buying seeds and planting them themselves. That would take too long.
Short-term investment, quick results and large returns are what most people think of.
However, this kind of investment requires a huge amount of funds, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Xu Shiyan was relieved when he heard Shao Yong say this.
"Brother Shao, you are a sensible person. We'd better not get involved in this Clivia business.
The current prosperity itself is abnormal, and the higher-ups will certainly not allow the situation to get out of control.
I don't think there will be changes in the Clivia market in half a year.
Once the iron fist comes down, the false prosperity of the Clivia market will be brought back to its original shape.
By that time, I don’t know how many people will be bankrupt.”
Xu Shiyan didn't know if these people could listen, he just fulfilled his duty of reminding.
Shao Yong and others looked a little ugly when they heard this.
"Xiao Xu, is it true what you said? Did you hear about it through any special channels?"
Shao Yong asked eagerly. You must know that a unit in their county is purchasing Clivia seeds and seedlings and plans to develop a batch.
"It shouldn't be wrong.
The secretary of management of our county has issued a fatal order that no unit, factory or mining enterprise is allowed to use public funds to engage in Clivia-related production and business activities.
Once found out, he will be severely punished." What Xu Shiyan said is true.
Guan Enxue listened to Xu Shiyan's suggestion and strictly prohibited all units from getting involved, for fear that if something happened, it would cause losses to the county.
"Oh my God, something bad happened. You guys should just chat for now. I have to make a phone call."
When Shao Yong heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out.
What a joke, those people in their county are still ambitious and want to follow the trend and make money.
If this really happened, it would be a poor county to begin with. Wouldn’t that make things even worse?
Shao Yong smoked and ran out, while the other two classmates shook their heads.
"Thankfully, our county is far away from your county seat, so the news didn't spread, and we didn't hear any rumors." Jin Yongqing from Changbai and Pu Zhengzhe from Antu said in agreement.
Shao Yong went out to make a phone call and came back with a very ugly face. No one asked him about the result of his call.
Xu Shiyan gathered his luggage and put everything away. Since there was nothing to do, he left the school and took a bus straight to the hospital of the Medical University.
It's the ninth day of the first lunar month, and the New Year hasn't come yet, so I have to go and pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu was extremely happy to see Xu Shiyan. He dragged Xu Shiyan to tell him that the formula for the functional drink proposed by Xu Shiyan last time had already been developed.
When Xu Shiyan heard this, he was naturally very happy, and the master and apprentice discussed this for a long time.
At noon, Xu Shiyan stayed at Mr. Chu's place for dinner. After lunch, the two chatted about other things.
Xu Shiyan mentioned Han Liwei's injury and talked about the secret recipe.
"Oh, you're talking about that recipe." Mr. Chu shook his head.
"It's a good thing that you have that kind of centuries-old ginseng used in medicine, otherwise, it wouldn't have such a good effect.
It’s a pity that the prescription passed down by our Chu family’s ancestors could not be passed down in the end because of the lack of medicinal materials.”
"It's okay. If the relevant departments from above come to ask for the formula, you can hand it in.
After all, the power of an individual is incomparable to that of the country and is useless in our hands. But if we leave it to the country and gather the strength of the whole country, there are still some ways.
Even if it cannot be produced in large quantities, it can still be useful if it is provided to some special groups.
If we can save a few more people, these recipes left by the Chu family will not be in vain."
Mr. Chu sighed, this is the current dilemma faced by traditional Chinese medicine. There are too few outstanding successors and even fewer good medicines.
As a result, many useful prescriptions cannot be prepared and produced because of the lack of qualified medicinal materials, and they cannot play their role in treating diseases and saving lives.
"Okay, everything is subject to Master's arrangements." Xu Shiyan nodded and said nothing else.
After all, the secret recipe belongs to the Chu family. As long as Mr. Chu nods and agrees, any arrangement will be fine.
Xu Shiyan stayed at Mr. Chu's place until about two o'clock, and then took the car back to Agricultural University.
Class officially started the next day. After a month's rest, I felt a little lazy when I went home to eat and drink. Now that school started, I felt a little unable to keep up.
So everyone cheered up, listened carefully, took notes carefully, and tried their best to keep up with the instructor's ideas.
On the other side, Lin Qiyue arrived in the provincial capital, found relevant leaders, and discussed with them the independent export rights.
The provincial leaders hesitated for a long time and could not agree directly. They only said that they would hold a meeting later to discuss the matter.
After that, the leader asked about the beverage factory and asked the merchants about ordering Coke and whether the order could be completed at the first visit.
Lin Qiyue followed Xu Shiyan's advice and said that the amount of water flowing out of the spring was not particularly large, so it might not be possible to satisfy all of it.
If possible, Lin Qiyue would like to meet and negotiate directly with foreign businessmen.
In fact, the merchant was in the province. At first, some people did not want to delegate power directly, so they did not allow the two parties to meet.
We held a meeting later to discuss and felt that it would be a good situation to give a company the right to operate its own export operations.
In this way, it can stimulate a field's enthusiasm for independent research and development and export to earn foreign exchange, and the province can also save some energy and invest it in other aspects.
Of course, all external cooperation matters must be reported to the province.
Lin Qiyue met directly with the merchants and followed what Xu Shiyan said, the price of each piece of Coke could be reduced by five dollars, and two pieces of Coke would be paired with one piece of mineral water.
After three months, the first batch of 60,000 pieces can be shipped, followed by another 90,000 pieces.
This is the largest output of a ginseng farm, and there is no other way.
As Xu Shiyan had guessed, the merchant mainly wanted mineral water.
They want to make this mineral water into a high-end consumer product, mainly used in major high-end hotels in Europe and the United States, for the enjoyment of the rich and nobles.
This kind of natural sparkling soda water is definitely the favorite of the nobles in the upper class, and the price is naturally not a problem.
But Lin Qiyue insisted that there was only this output and only one supply plan. In the end, the foreign businessmen had no choice but to agree.
However, the price of Coke was reduced by another four dollars, and the final price was set at thirty-six dollars per piece, which works out to three dollars per can.
As for the mineral water, there are 500ml bottles and 12 bottles per piece. The two parties finally agreed on the price, which was US$62 per piece.
This price really shocked Lin Qiyue. He never imagined that the Coke they had put so much effort into developing could not sell well.
