"Xiao Fang, it's a bad thing. Li Caidong's anxious voice came.

Xu Fang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Old Li, what's the matter?"

"Do you still remember that I told you more than half a year ago that the price of some medicinal materials you need is likely to rise, and now I hear the feedback from the channel, just in the next few days, the price of medicinal materials will increase significantly. Li Caidong sighed.

"What medicinal herbs are there, and how many can you mention?" Xu Fang asked again.

"The first to bear the brunt is plum orchids, and now several major suppliers are collectively stocking up on this kind of medicinal materials. Of course, there are four bamboos, green leaf peony, white black, longevity root bark, tiger tail grass, summer ash grass, and jade ganhe. ”

Xu Fang was a little surprised and asked, "They took all the medicinal herbs away?"

Li Caidong pouted and said: "How is this possible, take plum orchids as an example, there are not many plum orchids planted in China this year, but there is also a certain scale, and they are scattered all over the country, and it takes some effort to collect them all." And in order to prevent the buyer from being vigilant, they are relatively low-key in their purchases, generally contacting the medicine farmer first, signing the contract, and then not rushing to pull the goods, but quickly contacting the next medicine farmer. If it weren't for the fact that one of my friends was a medicine farmer, I wouldn't have noticed it. ”

"Medicine farmers don't necessarily sell it, right?" Xu Fang asked.

Li Caidong smiled bitterly: "These medicinal material suppliers, although they are usually competitive, once they want to fry a medicinal material, they will have a tacit understanding. They have already agreed on the purchase price, and anyone who raises the purchase price without authorization will break the rules and will be collectively boycotted by other medicinal herb factories. Everyone has the same price, and of course the medicine farmer has to sell it. And this time, their purchase price has also increased from two yuan per catty last year to five yuan per catty, almost doubled. ”

"Elder Li, how much do you think you can get from the current price of medicinal materials?" Xu Fang asked cautiously.

"It is certain that Mei Lanhua will exceed ten yuan a catty, and it may rise to fifteen or even twenty. Most of the other medicinal herbs can rise to ten yuan or fifteen yuan. Li Caidong estimated.

Li Caidong has been running Baicaotang for decades and has experienced countless ups and downs in the price of medicinal materials, Xu Fang was very convinced by his words, and thought for a while: "Old Li, do you want to stock up on some goods?"

"Of course, we have to save some, otherwise the price will suddenly rise, and it will greatly increase our costs. But I feel like I probably won't get much on my side. ”

"Why?" Xu Fang asked in surprise.

Li Lao smiled bitterly and said: "The medicinal materials that were originally needed, that is, several pharmaceutical factories, and the medicinal materials on the market have always maintained a situation of oversupply, so the price has been maintained. But since last year, the medicine farmers found that the price could not go up, and there were not so many herbs planted, so as a result, you needed a lot of medicinal materials every month, and the quantity has been increasing, and the accumulation is an extremely large number. In the past, whoever could buy medicinal materials was the uncle, but now whoever owns medicinal materials has the right to speak. My side is also a place where major medicinal material companies are watching, so if you want to get the goods at a low price, the quantity must not be much. ”

After hearing this, Xu Fang also understood that he felt for these people, and was ready to slaughter him by the way.

Grandchildren, you must not have thought that the master has prepared hundreds of millions of catties of medicinal materials!

"Elder Li doesn't have to worry about me, just stock up on your daily needs first. Xu Fang said with a smile.

"Well, you don't have to worry too much, I'll help you figure it out. Li Caidong comforted, and then felt that he was not confident enough, and couldn't help complaining: "Hey, that group of medicinal material dealers is really not a thing, the price of medicinal materials has risen, and the price of medicine must also rise, and in the end, it is the common people who are pitted." ”

"Who are those people?" Xu Fang asked casually.

"Most of them are from other provinces, led by the Xie family, I guess you haven't known about it. Li Caidong replied casually.

Originally, he just had the idea of watching the excitement, but when he heard Li Caidong's words, Xu Fang couldn't help but be stunned: "That Xie family in Jinling City, Suzhou Province?"

"Huh, you know?" Li Caidong was a little surprised.

"Don't you know," a sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Fang's mouth, he returned from the army, only to know that his girlfriend had split his legs with the kid of the Xie family, and then the Zheng family was going to marry Zheng Xiulan to Xie Mo, how could these Liang Zi take a deep breath and said: "Old Li, ask you something." ”

"Just ask, what else are we polite about. "Li Lao has never treated Xu Fang as an outsider.

"If the price of these medicinal materials has been raised a lot, who will be affected the most?" Xu Fang asked carefully.

"The biggest impact is on a few pharmaceutical companies, and that's all I know, so if you want to know the specifics, you have to inquire more. ”

"Old Li, please do something, can you help me inquire, what are the specifics. Xu Fang pleaded.

Although he didn't know what Xu Fang was going to do, Li Lao still agreed: "Don't worry, I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Li. Xu Fang is sincerely grateful.

"Don't come to the void, when will you bring some wine to the old man, just the gourds you gave for the New Year. ”

Xu Fang smiled after hearing this, and said, "Cheng, I'll go to you tomorrow afternoon with wine." ”

Hanging up the phone, Xu Fang's eyes flashed. The Xie family has a huge heritage, dominating Jinling City for many years, and it is involved in many fields. This time, even if you can pit them in the pharmaceutical, it will make them lose some fur at most.

However, for Xu Fang, this bit of fur is also worth doing once.

The next day, at half past eight, after Xu Fang had eaten, he walked towards the beach wearing that cultural shirt.

took out his mobile phone and called Chen Xi in Linyuan Town, and the phone was connected within two calls, and Chen Xi's very textured voice came: "Mr. Xu, what do you command?"

"You let the villages weigh now, and I'll call a car over now, and then just pull the goods directly." Xu Fang commanded.

"Cheng, are you still coming?" asked Chen Xi.

"I just went out, I'm going to go to Linyuan Town, I'll be there in about an hour, I don't know if your town, can you send a person in charge with me, otherwise I'll go to various villages alone, and it's not easy to command." Xu Fang asked politely.

Chen Xi smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, you come to the town government first, and I will go with you." ”

"That's Mayor Lao Chen. ”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Fang called the taxi driver before.

Last time he pulled Xu Fang to the porcelain factory, the driver also had an impression of Xu Fang, and after answering the phone, he asked with a smile: "Dude, do you want to use a car?"

"Hey, you guessed it, if it's convenient now, come to the foot of Jiulong Mountain and wait for me, and some will run today." Xu Fang said with a smile.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'm pulling the two of us towards the foot of Kowloon Mountain, and I'll be there in ten minutes." ”

"I'll be in about ten minutes, if you want to be there first, wait for me. ”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Fang jumped on the motorboat and rushed to the foot of Jiulong Mountain with the gas pedal.

Ten minutes later, Xu Fang parked his motorboat and saw a taxi not far away, which was driving quickly towards this side. Xu Fang, who was quite strong, also saw that the license plate number was the driver's.

It didn't take long for the taxi to stop. After seeing Xu Fang, the driver laughed and said, "Brother, this way!"

Xu Fang was not polite, sat in the co-pilot, and said with a smile: "Go to Linyuan Town first." ”

"Okay, what are you going to pull this time? I remember there wasn't anything over there. "This driver buddy is still very good at talking.

"Pull some herbs, wait a minute, I'll make a call. As he spoke, Xu Fang found the driver's uncle's number and called.

"Hey, Brother Xu, what are you looking for me?" the driver's uncle's hearty voice came.

"Uncle, I have a job here, I don't know if you can take it. There is a batch of medicinal materials that need to be pulled here in Linyuan Town, at least five million catties, not counted, distributed in various villages in Linyuan Town. Xu Fang described.

The driver's uncle was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Generally, there are so many goods, and if you find a particularly large car, the transportation fee will be affordable." However, if they are all in the village, the road may not be easy to walk, and the big car does not dare to drive towards the village, otherwise the front of the car will not be able to be adjusted, and you have to find a relatively small one. If you take 6 million catties, it is 3,000 tons, and you need 100 cars, and this trip costs 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. ”

This price is within Xu Fang's affordable range, and he smiled and said: "It's no problem, just collect it at the normal price, can you find so many cars?"

The driver's uncle also smiled: "You can rest assured, as long as the money is given, you can find as many cars as you want, tell me when you want to use it, and I will arrange it for you immediately." ”

"Thank you!" Xu Fang hurriedly thanked.

The driver's uncle has a long time of joy in his heart, and if he generally introduces the work, people will more or less express it. It is common to have a less box of Yuxi, a better box of China, and even a WeChat red envelope of 66 yuan. A hundred cars, how much benefit does this get! Immediately said politely: "Don't get in the way, what are we doing with this friendship." ”

"One yard to one yard, I'll send you a red envelope when I turn around. Xu Fang thanked him and hung up the phone.

As soon as the phone hung up, the driver immediately opened his mouth and exclaimed: "I'm a good person, brother, you can do it, five million catties of things, even if it's rags, it will cost a lot of money." ”

Xu Fang rolled his eyes when he heard this, uncle, how can you speak.

It took nearly an hour for the car to stop at the Linyuan Town Mansion, and Chen Xi and a group of town cadres were already waiting at the door. Even above the gate of the town government, there was a banner: Warmly welcome Mr. Xu of Xiulan Group to visit our town.

"Mom, buddy, you're welcome?" the driver asked in surprise.

"Probably. "Xu Fang also accepted a lot of welcome for winning various military exploits back then, but this kind of welcome ceremony, Xu Fang experienced it for the first time, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

"I'm rubbing, you turned out to be Mr. Xu of Xiulan Group?" The driver looked at Xu Fang stupidly as if in a dream.

Xu Fang didn't explain, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You wait here for a while, you have to use the car later, the car meter doesn't need to be turned off, and finally calculate the money together." ”

After getting out of the car, Chen Xi and this wave of people immediately greeted him: "Mr. Xu, I can look forward to you, this welcome ceremony is not too grand, I'm so sorry." ”

Xu Fang looked at the banner and smiled: "Isn't it grand that so many people are waiting? By the way, Mayor Chen, let's find a place to talk about the details of the pull-out goods, and I have to tell you about one more thing. ”

Chen Xi sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Let's talk somewhere first. Xu Fang is not in a hurry.

Chen Xi thought that Xu Fang was going to break the contract, and followed him all the way. When he arrived at the office, he let the others be busy on their own, and after making a cup of tea for Xu Fang, he immediately asked, "Mr. Xu, if you have anything to say, don't sell it." ”
