Chen Qingdong smiled noncommittally at Zhao Changbin's statement, and complimented: "Brother Bin, a manly man, as long as you have a clear conscience, you don't have to care what others say." ”

"Qingdong, just by virtue of your words, I have to have another toast with you!" Zhao Changbin raised his glass movingly.

Chen Qingdong naturally picked up the wine glass happily and said, "Brother Bin, I respect you." You have done a great thing for so many employees of Mingxintang, I sincerely admire it!"

"Okay! A thousand glasses of wine are few for a confidant! Qingdong, I'll do it first!" Zhao Changbin finished speaking, and drank a glass of wine!

Chen Qingdong also drank the wine after him.

After drinking this glass of wine, Zhao Changbin felt that the distance between him and Chen Qingdong was even closer.

Next, Zhao Changbin began to talk about the key points.

"Qingdong, after I acquired this Mingxintang pickle factory, I realized that the situation of Mingxintang is really worse than I imagined, and it is really not too much to describe it as 'full of holes'. I really wasted my brain trying to fill this hole, and now I'm finally done. However, Mingxintang's original fist products are no longer competitive in the market, and if you want to achieve profitability, you must develop new fist products. Zhao Changbin introduced again.

"So, Brother Bin, you have a fancy for Liu Hao?" asked Chen Qingdong.

Zhao Changbin snapped his fingers and smiled: "Yes." ”

Then, Zhao Changbin said: "I won't talk about the market value of willow artemisia." In fact, Qingdong, to be honest, although the quality of the wild willow artemisia growing on that wasteland is very good, in terms of yield, it is definitely not enough for my pickle factory. ”

Chen Qingdong knew that what Zhao Changbin said was right, with the current output of willow artemisia in that wasteland, of course, it was not enough to support the use of a huge Mingxintang pickle factory, but Chen Qingdong also knew very well that if Zhao Changbin wanted to develop the willow artemisia here, then it would definitely not just use those wild willow artemisia.

Because even if the yield of these wild willow artemisia is sufficient, the growth of these wild willow artemisia is too dependent on seasonality, and it only grows for one season.

If Zhao Changbin wants to industrialize development, there will naturally be other measures, such as buckle greenhouses, etc., which must be done, in order to harvest mature willow artemisia throughout the year.

"Actually, before I came here to investigate, I had already contracted more than 500 acres of land in Changjin County, and I specialized in planting willow artemisia. Zhao Changbin said again.

Chen Qingdong smiled and said bluntly: "Brother Bin, despite this, I can see that you are still very interested in the willow artemisia in Shuangshan Town. ”

Zhao Changbin laughed and said, "Brother Qingdong, you are really fast-talking! Yes, I am indeed very interested in the willow artemisia here." But the specific reason, Qingdong, you may not be able to guess. ”

Chen Qingdong hadn't guessed yet, so he bowed down and said: "Brother Bin, I don't understand business things, I really can't guess." ”

Xu Wei, who hadn't spoken much, encouraged: "Qingdong, how do you know that you can't guess if you haven't guessed yet?" ”

Zhao Changbin didn't speak, he smiled, meaning to let Chen Qingdong guess.

Since Zhao Changbin said so, Chen Qingdong knew that his idea was definitely wrong, but he still said: "Brother Bin, aren't you interested in the quality of the willow artemina we have here?"

Xu Wei smiled: "I knew you couldn't guess." ”

"Brother Qingdong doesn't know about this, of course he can't guess. Zhao Changbin stepped down for Chen Qingdong, and then said, "Actually, Qingdong, what you said is also on the sidelines." I did fancy the quality of the wild Artemisia here, but what I valued more was the remote location of Shuangshan and the word 'wild' in front of Artemisia. ”

This time, Chen Qingdong felt that he roughly understood what Zhao Changbin meant, but he couldn't express it accurately.

"To put it bluntly, what I value most is this 'gimmick'. Zhao Changbin further explained.

This time, Chen Qingdong understood better, but he still pretended not to understand and asked, "Brother Bin, what do you say about 'gimmick'?"

"Qingdong, I told you before, the price of willow artemisia is very expensive, and it is still rising, and the people who can afford to eat willow artemisia are naturally those who are rich, or above the middle class, and ordinary people have no money to buy this. And these people are deeply influenced by the 'green food' that the West is now advocating, in their eyes, artificially cultivated things are more additives, and only wild things are the best. ”

"Since the acquisition of Mingxintang, I have inspected many places, and finally found a place suitable for artificial cultivation of willow artemisia in Ningjin County, and then contracted hundreds of acres of land to specialize in planting willow artemisia. However, after all, these willow artemisia are artificially cultivated, and they are not treated well by those upper classes, so I am ready to find another place rich in wild willow artemisia, invest in building a factory here, specializing in the production and processing of wild willow artemisia, form such a concept, and introduce it to the market. ”

After Zhao Changbin's explanation, Chen Qingdong completely understood what he meant.

Xu Wei added at this time: "After we inspected the willow artemisia here today, we think it is very good, so in the next step, we will invest in building an ecological park project here, in addition to the production of wild willow artemisia, there will be other actions in the later stage." ”

"You?" asked Chen Qingdong with some confusion.

"Hehe, I forgot to tell you, Xiaowei is also one of the investors of my company. Zhao Changbin said with a smile.

Xu Wei smiled slightly, acquiescing.

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but glance at Xu Wei more, thinking that Xu Wei also had shares in Zhao Changbin's company, which would explain why the two of them came here to investigate.

However, isn't Xu Wei a middle-level leader of a state-owned enterprise? How can she have a stake in Zhao Changbin's company? Even if she had, why would he tell himself?

Chen Qingdong couldn't understand this, thinking that maybe Zhao Changbin didn't think about it so much, but just said it casually. After all, with their family background, general things should be settled easily.

"However, Brother Bin, with the production of wild willow artemisia in Shuangshan Town, and it is also subject to seasonal restrictions, it is not enough for large-scale development. Chen Qingdong asked the question in his heart.

Zhao Changbin smiled: "Qingdong, of course I know this." So I'm going to build an ecological park here, in addition to those wild willow artemisia, I also plan to artificially plant about 200 acres of willow artemisia here, plus my layout in Ningjin and other places, it should be enough for the time being. ”

"But isn't such artificial cultivation in conflict with the concept of 'wild'?" Chen Qingdong continued.

"Haha......" Zhao Changbin laughed again, "Qingdong, let me tell you this, I have preserved these wild willow artemisia, isn't it 'wild'? In fact, those who pursue green food are just pursuing this concept, and how can they know what the specific products are." I packaged those artificially planted willow artemisia, and said that they were wild, and then opened up the gap with those artificially planted willow artemisia, even if it was the same product, change the packaging, they would definitely continue to pursue it. Of course, in order to pursue better results, it is necessary to limit the supply of pure wild willow artemisia, which can actually be regarded as a kind of 'hunger marketing'. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Changbin seemed to feel that what he said was too dark, so he added: "Actually, as long as the quality of the product is well controlled, and the use of pesticides, fertilizers and other things is controlled within a certain range, we will have a clear conscience." As for whether it is wild or not, it is to satisfy the psychology of some people. Just build the ecological park for those who want to visit here or experience the delicious taste of wild willow artemisia on site."

Xu Wei also said: "Qingdong, this is a normal strategy for doing business. ”

Chen Qingdong didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Changbin and them doing this, businessmen, naturally, they were pursuing the maximization of profits, as long as there was no problem with product quality, doing "hunger marketing" and making a little gimmick was not a problem at all.

In order to show his understanding of their strategy, Chen Qingdong said: "Brother Bin, Sister Wei, although I have not been in business, I can understand that in business, just like the goal of an official is to be promoted, the goal of doing business at that time was to pursue profits, otherwise what would you do in business, just go directly to charity." ”

"Haha, brother, what you said is so right! It's just business!" Zhao Changbin said happily, "I know that Brother Qingdong is an understanding person." ”

Then, Zhao Changbin and Xu Wei glanced at each other, and Zhao Changbin said again: "Qingdong, what are you going to do when your brother's farm contracts that wasteland?"

Chen Qingdong stopped going around in circles at this time, but said in a retreat: "My brother is doing this, in fact, to complete the political tasks in the county, even if he is engaged in breeding, he can't use so much land." If Brother Bin and Sister Wei take a fancy to this wasteland and want to build an ecological park, then I will persuade my brother to give this land to you to contract. ”

"Hey, how can this work, a gentleman doesn't plunder people's beauty!" Zhao Changbin said, "However, your brother and I can cooperate." Isn't your brother trying to engage in aquaculture? Yes, then take out some of the land for aquaculture, and we will plant willow artemisia and build an ecological park, wouldn't that be a 'win-win' situation?"

Compared with Zhao Changbin, who was still taking into account Chen Qingdong's thoughts, and went around in circles to say how "Chen Qingdong's brother" should do what to do, Xu Wei was much more direct and said: "Qingdong, you can also think about it, whether you are willing to subcontract the land to us, or cooperate with us to develop this ecological park project." ”

Zhao Changbin also said: "Yes, we are ready to invest in the establishment of a new company, which is responsible for the development of this ecological park project, if you want to cooperate with us in Qingdong, you can also invest in shares, whether it is cash shares, land shares, or other ways to invest in shares." ”

Faced with the olive branch thrown by Zhao Changbin and Xu Wei, Chen Qingdong was moved, and he could tell them almost without thinking about it that he was willing to join the shares and cooperate with them.

It's just that Chen Qingdong knows that if he behaves too positively, he will be easily looked down upon by them, and maybe they will think that he has ulterior motives.

Therefore, Chen Qingdong said calmly: "Brother Bin, Sister Wei, this matter is relatively big for me, can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Hahaha, that's for sure. Zhao Changbin said with a smile, "Even if it's a business, it's not done overnight! This matter is actually not in a hurry, Brother Qingdong, you think about it, and discuss it with your brother, and then call me back." ”

Then, as if to show his strength, Zhao Changbin said: "In fact, it takes a lot of money to build this ecological park project." However, now that the state is encouraging the development of this project, I can go to the Planning Commission and try to get some matching funds. ”

Chen Qingdong took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Bin, do you have acquaintances here in the Liulin Planning Commission?"

Zhao Changbin smiled faintly and said, "I don't have any acquaintances with the Liulin Planning Commission, but I am very familiar with the director of the Planning Commission in Longwan. ”

Xu Wei glanced at him and said, "What is still very familiar, Qingdong, the director of the Longwan City Planning Commission is his second uncle." If he doesn't even have this matching fund, I don't know who can ask for it. ”

Zhao Changbin shook his head helplessly and said, "...... you?"

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but be even more in awe of Zhao Changbin!
