A doctor who travels through two eras

How could Lin Tianhua not be interested in where Lin Sanqi got these precious medicinal materials and food ingredients?
This is impossible.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

People who do business are always thinking about it. Similarly, has Lin Tianhua ever thought about controlling Lin Sanqi's supply channels and then replacing him one day?
No one is willing to be a "professional manager" for a lifetime. After mastering certain channels, connections, and funds, every manager thinks about starting his own business and becoming his own boss.

Even if they want to poach employees from their old employer, Chinese people lack the spirit of contract and will not care about the "Agreement to Prohibit Competition in the Same Industry" at all.

But no matter how Lin Tianhua privately inquired about the shipping channels of these cordyceps, ginseng, shark fins, abalone, and tangerine peel, he had no clues at all. This was what puzzled him.

He didn't know anything else. Lingnan Hall was not Dongfang Selection, and it was not replicable because the owner of Lingnan Hall was a time traveler...

There are many people who have the same troubles as Lin Tianhua, such as the three largest companies in the domestic Cordyceps industry.

While Lin Sanqi and his colleagues were holding a meeting, Tongruicheng Company, which controls nearly half of the mid-to-high-end Cordyceps market, was also holding a meeting.

Cordyceps sinensis is a huge market with an annual output value of 50 to 60 billion yuan. From the most primitive herdsmen in the upstream to the most basic distributors in the downstream, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in the country who rely on cordyceps for their livelihood, so no one person or company can eat up such a big piece of cake.

But every industry will definitely have a few leading companies. Even if they cannot achieve monopoly, they will at least take away most of the profits.

The three largest companies in the Cordyceps industry are Shangzhongda, Hewanwei, and Tongruicheng.

These three companies monopolize the most profitable mid-to-high-end Cordyceps market, providing a full range of services from acquisition to sales. Among them, Tongruicheng is the strongest, accounting for half of the market share.

As for who the real boss behind these three companies is, this is a secret that will never be made public.

Only those working in the Cordyceps industry know that if you want to do ordinary Cordyceps business, getting started is relatively simple. Just prepare the money, wait for the Cordyceps picking season to arrive, and then go to the plateau to purchase it.

But there is a prerequisite, ordinary Cordyceps, that is, those of grade three and grade four.

If anyone dares to purchase mid- to high-end Cordyceps, such as Cordyceps with a weight of more than 0.5 grams per stick, let alone whether you can purchase it, even if you purchase it, it will be difficult for your goods to be shipped out of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. (Literal meaning)
Because this area is monopolized by someone, the Cordyceps picked by herders are classified, and the high-end ones are taken away by the three major companies, while the low-end ones will flow into the market.

Tongruicheng Company, headquartered in the capital, is one of the best.

At this time, the conference room of Tongruicheng Company was full of smoke. A group of company executives in suits and ties were frowning and smoking non-stop.

Sales Director Li Maocai said helplessly:

"I sent people to investigate, and we searched almost all five provinces, including Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan, but we still couldn't find anyone secretly shipping the goods. This is really strange."

An executive asked: "Could those cordyceps be imported from foreign countries? After all, Bhutan, Nepal and India also produce a small amount of cordyceps."

(The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a geographical term)
Li Maocai took out a gift box with the words "Lingnan Hall" clearly printed on it.

"Everyone, take a look. Each of these cordyceps weighs more than one gram, which is a very rare king of cordyceps. It is also obvious that these cordyceps come from Yushu or Nagqu. They are definitely only found in China."

Bai Zhiyong, the president of Tongruicheng Company, asked with a gloomy face:
"It seems that Lingnan Hall is not a fierce dragon that cannot cross the river. Since the goods are from Yushu and Nagqu, we will conduct a thorough investigation. If we find out who is distributing the goods privately and violating the agreement we made at the time, do you know what to do?"

A group of company executives frowned collectively, their faces as bitter as bitter gourds.

Li Maocai grabbed his hair and felt like he was going crazy:

"This is the strangest part. I compared the purchase lists of Nagqu and Yushu. Compared with the production in previous years, there is almost no difference. It is impossible that Lingnan Hall found a large Cordyceps field in the big mountains, right?"

Another executive chimed in at this point:
"I have contacted Lingnantang Company before, pretending to want to buy Cordyceps. They were very arrogant, saying that 100 million or 200 million was not a lot, and that 100 million or 200 million would be enough as long as we could afford it. This shows that they have more Cordyceps than we thought."

President Bai then put out his cigarette with force:

“The Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong have always been important markets for Cordyceps. There are many wealthy people there and the sales volume is also high. If the Cordyceps market is occupied by Lingnan Hall, our losses will be heavy. I’m afraid the big boss will be dissatisfied, and we will all suffer the consequences.

So, Li Maocai, you continue to send people to investigate who is supplying Lingnan Hall. These Cordyceps are all new this year. As long as the other party does something, there will definitely be clues. Let's discuss how to make trouble for Lingnan Hall."

One of the executives laughed and said, "There is no greater trouble than tax for a company. I don't believe they won't evade taxes."

Another executive nodded:

"Yes, by checking taxes, maybe we can find out where they purchase goods from? If they can't provide purchase invoices or something like that, then the tax rate is frighteningly high. Lingnan Hall is not a charity. Is it to contribute to the national tax revenue?"

"Not only in terms of taxation, but also in terms of industry and commerce, health, food and drug administration, fire protection, etc., we can check if they have any problems."

"If it doesn't work, we can forge a few test reports, saying that their Cordyceps contains heavy metals and toxic substances. Anyway, we can't let them sell the product smoothly."…………

In the small conference room of Lingnan Hall Company.

Lin Tianhua also expressed his concerns:
"I'm not afraid of anything else. We have cordyceps safety reports issued by five independent testing agencies. We proactively declare taxes and pay the maximum tax. But as long as the source of cordyceps and ginseng is not resolved, it will be a hidden danger."

Lin Sanqi agreed with that thought. After all, he was not going to stop after making a quick buck. He wanted to do long-term business in the future.

Therefore, the issue of the origin of the medicinal materials must be resolved. If he is arrested as a smuggler later, it will be even more difficult to explain.

At this time, the uncle asked, "Xiao Qi, you can't tell me the source of your goods, right?"

Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I can't tell you. If I tell you, it won't work. If this channel is controlled by others, I won't be able to receive the goods in the future."

Uncle Grandpa must have had an idea by now, so he asked:

"Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you be prepared. Tell me, what is the process of this Cordyceps transaction?"

Lin Tianhua took the initiative to speak:

"I have actually learned about this. There are generally two sources of Cordyceps. One is artificial cultivation, but it is very difficult to grow, as the geographical environment, climate and altitude all have an impact. The other artificial cultivation mainly requires the preparation of fungus strains and insects.

The problem of fungus strains is easy to solve, but the most difficult part is the source of insects. Currently, insects can only be collected from the wild, and artificial breeding of insects is very difficult. Therefore, the output of artificially cultivated Cordyceps has not increased, and the price is not as expensive as wild Cordyceps.

The vast majority are wild Cordyceps, which grows in plateau areas, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in my country and several small countries nearby. Herders need to go to the wild to search for them one by one.

Once the herders have found Cordyceps, there are two ways to sell it. One is to wait for traders to come to the village to buy it; the other is to go to the Cordyceps trading market in the city to buy it, which is equivalent to the buying and selling of raw materials.

There are two destinations for Cordyceps. One is that vendors purchase it and process it themselves, and then open a shop in the Cordyceps market to sell it openly. Nowadays, there are many people selling Cordyceps through live broadcasts on mobile phones, which is equivalent to self-employed individuals.

Another way is that each company buys Cordyceps, then processes it, and finally sells it. This sales is just like tobacco and alcohol, with national general agents, provincial agents, and municipal agents at each level, and it is operated as a company. "

Uncle Lin was listening while thinking quickly, and at this time he found a loophole in the transaction.

"Can I understand it this way? Suppose Qizai can just carry a box of money and go to the herders' homes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to buy the Cordyceps? And process the collected Cordyceps himself and sell it himself?"

Lin Tianhua nodded: "In theory, yes, as long as you have the relevant business license, it is not illegal to purchase it yourself."

Uncle Lin laughed and said, "Then the supply problem that Qizi is most worried about has been solved, right?"

Lin Musen, Lin Tianhua, and Lin Sanqi understood immediately and followed suit, obviously knowing what to do next.

Yin Lianyi was a little anxious after hearing this: "Grandpa, how did it get solved? I don't understand."

Uncle Lin took a look at the pretty female financial manager and thought that this girl was pretty and had a good temperament. She must be Qizi's girlfriend, right? So he was particularly kind.

If the old man knew that this little girl was from Pingle Village, I wonder if he would still be able to laugh.

"Girl, you don't understand, right? In fact, it's very simple to break this impasse. We just need to set up a branch company or office in the Cordyceps production area and openly purchase Cordyceps from the outside."

Yin Lianyi thought for a moment and asked again, "But I heard that there are industry tyrants in every industry. What if no one sells Cordyceps to us?"

Lin Sanqi quickly explained:

"It doesn't matter whether anyone sells Cordyceps to us or not. We just want to pretend, then make false purchase accounts, and finally pretend to ship out containers one by one, to give outsiders the impression that our Lingnantang Company has purchased a lot of Cordyceps. Is this a trick called deceiving the world?"

Yin Lianyi's eyes lit up when she heard this:
"Yes, Grandpa, you are really smart. We can also set up offices in places like Northeast China and Hujian and pretend to be purchasing local specialties."

"Yeah, hahaha~~~"

The old man just couldn't stand the compliments of beautiful women, and so was Uncle Lin. His dentures were about to fall out from laughing.

As a boss, all he needs to do is talk. Now that he has a solution, it is up to General Manager Lin Tianhua to tell the truth.

Uncle thought of something at this time and said to Lin Tianhua:
"Ahua, Qizi said he wanted to open a pharmaceutical factory. You two should discuss this matter again. I don't think it's that reliable." (End of this chapter)
