Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1288 Prepare in advance

Following Ji Donglai's train of thought, Jiang Haokun's mind had never been so clear before. Especially when it came to the issue of feeding hundreds of thousands of people under his command, Jiang Haokun did not dare to show any slightest care.

"You also forgot to mention that North America is now the largest food exporter in the world. Many of our soybeans come from there, as well as corn! Credit currency is on the left hand, food and oil, finance, agriculture, and industrial raw materials are all in the right hand. In hand."

"The next dispute will definitely focus on the high-tech field. Do you understand what I mean?"

Looking at the ever-changing One Yuan Manufacturing outside, the R&D center gradually appeared in sight. Ji Donglai turned his eyes to Jiang Haokun, and then turned the lens to the One Yuan Manufacturing R&D Center.

At this time, Jiang Haokun's face had completely put away the previous cynicism, replaced by his admiration for Ji Donglai.

"Mr. Ji, I understand. From now on, I will definitely get enough funds for the R&D center and I will never break my promise."

A skilled Go player can always be more than ten steps ahead of his opponent. Ji Donglai's seemingly careless layout actually predicted everything today.

Even though Jiang Haokun was a little skeptical about Ji Donglai's previous actions, he was convinced now.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Donglai did not get out of the car in a hurry, but lit a cigarette. After thinking for a while, he and Ran Bo turned to Dahe Real Estate.

From Ji Donglai's acquisition of real estate to now, Yu Dahe has been acquiring land in various places, but Ji Donglai did not let them all start building.

Especially in several key cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Ji Donglai only approved a quarter of the proposed development projects, and suppressed the rest.

Yu Dahe has complained a lot in the past few years, but he just didn't dare to complain to Ji Donglai.

Fortunately, real estate has been rising steadily in recent years. Even though land enclosures have taken up part of the funds, Dahe Real Estate's revenue is still far ahead of the industry.

"Mr. Ji, why did you come here without saying hello in advance? There's a bit of chaos here."

Faced with Ji Donglai's sudden visit, Yu Dahe was a little surprised and hurriedly asked his secretary to help clean up his office.

"It's okay, I'll be here for a while and then leave. That's right, I'm going to Central Asia this time, and I want to take you with me. Didn't your family make traditional Chinese medicine before? I want you to help me take a look at the products there. How about you come with me if you're not busy?"

Ji Donglai had always treated Dahe like a brother, but suddenly he became so polite, which made Yu Dahe feel flustered.

After all, all those who work in real estate have a little bit of Xiaojiujiu, and Yu Dahe almost admitted his mistake.

"I'm just asking. The Chinese medicine over there is very good, especially licorice. In recent years, harvesting has been restricted in China. Can you come with me and help me identify it?"

Seeing Yu Dahe's bewildered look, Ji Donglai reassured Yu Dahe with a word.

Ji Dong said it a second time, it was not a request for advice, but an order. No matter how reluctant Yu Dahe was, he followed him honestly.

Before entering the Afghan border, Yu Dahe was still full of anxiety. He wore two sets of body armor alone, and the helmet on his head was covered so tightly that he could barely wear his pants.

As a result, they entered the border of Afuhan and were accompanied by a group of American soldiers with guns and live ammunition. Yu Da and his whole body were petrified.

"Don't be surprised. This is a relationship with one of our clients. They are considered private mercenaries. They are just to prevent unnecessary trouble. Those behind are our own people." Pointing to the uncles in Taoist robes on the three pickup trucks behind, Ji Dong Lai said with a smile. At this time, Yu Dahe realized that Ji Donglai had such great power in a corner that he didn't know about.

The place where several people went was to the northeast of Afuhan, close to the Turkmen border area. Under Omar's recommendation, Ji Donglai and Yu Dahe entered the village in front of them.

The houses are all made of earth, with almost no glass in the windows.

The people here are very quiet. According to Omar, the Turkmen are the quietest ethnic group in the area. All the adults and children stood on the roadside from a distance and watched Ji Donglai's arrival.

All the American troops responsible for protecting Ji Donglai were stationed outside the village, and only Omar people were in the village.

Hearing that Ji Donglai was here to buy licorice, the local people immediately picked up a hoe and took Ji Donglai and others to a nearby river. They dug out a plant with a few swings of the hoe.

"Well, the quality of this thing is absolutely fine. Mr. Ji, if we invest, I suggest we get as much as we want. It's the best of the best."

Putting the licorice in his mouth and chewing it, Yu Dahe immediately gave Ji Donglai a thumbs up. Rare smiles appeared on the faces of the people around him. Ji Donglai nodded.

"Mr. Omar, tell them how much licorice of this quality we want. It must be of this quality. Mr. Yu will discuss the price with you next, and whether you still have saffron here? Show us, this is my partner, he will identify it.”

Turning his eyes to Omar, Ji Donglai talked to the other party in English throughout the whole process. Yu Dahe could only understand a little bit, and his expression couldn't help but change at this time.

Ji Donglai put himself in charge of the traditional Chinese medicine business here, so does Dahe Real Estate have to give up on his own?

Yu Dahe's heart skipped a beat, and he almost swallowed the licorice.

Fortunately, this thought was interrupted by the big hand handed over by Oma, and Yu Dahe hurriedly showed his professionalism.

Although the domestic counterparty is engaged in real estate, the family's traditional Chinese medicine business has never stopped, and they know the prices of various medicinal materials, so the bargaining is unambiguous.

It wasn't until the evening that everyone reached an agreement, and Ji Donglai asked someone to make an advance payment to Omar.

Ji Donglai asked someone to buy a sheep from a local shepherd, and everyone started celebrating. In order to welcome Ji Donglai, the Turkmen ethnic group, who are good at singing and dancing, held a rare wrestling match next to the bonfire, and the Pashtuns began to dance.

Ji Donglai drank tea soaked in saffron, ate hand-made rice with mutton, and watched everyone perform with joy in his eyes.

"Mr. Ji, have I done anything wrong recently?"

Everyone started to revel, and Yu Dahe finally found the opportunity to sit in front of Ji Donglai.

"No, I want to leave the Chinese medicine business here to you. Qian Xue said that troubled times are the stage, and the more chaotic the place, the more opportunities there are. You are still responsible for the real estate, but in 16 I plan to turn the real estate into Everything is sold, but before that I have to find a living for our old buddy."

"It doesn't matter to the employees. They work just like the boss. You are different. You are the boss from the beginning to the end. You have to have your own business. How can you be subordinate to others?"

"Real estate has grown too fast in the past two years. The higher-ups will not sit idly by and watch. The turning point will soon appear without any surprise. We have to stop when things are good. After all, we are just businessmen, not people at the top of the pyramid."
