A doctor who travels through two eras
Chapter 321 Clearing the Palace of Rosewood
2013 years.
Lin Sanqi appeared in the company with a piece of Hetian jade seed material in his hand, tossing it around.
Lingnantang Company's current business is still relatively simple. Only the sales department is relatively busy. Some are busy answering the phone, some are busy preparing reports. Of course, most of the positions are empty, obviously the owners have gone out to do business.
Seeing Lin Sanqi coming in, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet him:
"Hi boss!"
"Good morning, boss!"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "Keep working. Our company rewards people for their work. We take commissions based on sales. This is a test of your own abilities, and you don't have to rely on me, the boss, to look at your face. On the contrary, the top sellers among you have to rely on me, the boss, to look at your face."
"Hehehe~~~"
The boss told a joke and everyone laughed happily, whether they were laughing for real or fake.
Lin Sanqi continued to toss the jade and walked into the general manager's office.
Lin Tianhua was on the phone and motioned Lin Sanqi to sit down first. Five minutes later, the phone was finally hung up.
"This is a call from the Wu family in Singapore. The Wu family knows about Nippon Paint, right? They want to purchase 100 wild ginsengs and 200 kilograms of cordyceps from us. They want the best quality products."
The Nippon Paint Wu family, Lin Sanqi shrugged. He had never heard of it anyway. A little loser was not worthy of knowing about these wealthy families.
"By the way, Uncle Shi, our company is probably going to open a new department."
Lin Tianhua was a little surprised: "What department?"
"Come on, look, what is this?" Lin Sanqi handed the rough stone he was playing with to Lin Tianhua.
Lin Tianhua took it and looked at it, and immediately saw the problem. After all, he was a big shot in the business world, and he had good vision:
"This, this is Hetian jade? And it's seed material?"
Lin Sanqi nodded: "Yes, it is seed material, and it is authentic Hotan river material, not mountain material."
Lin Tianhua couldn't let go of the rough stone after touching it:
"Wow, that's a great treasure. Such a large piece of seed material can definitely be auctioned."
"I've weighed it, and this piece of seed material weighs 666 grams. This number is auspicious. I'm honoring you, Uncle Ten, haha."
Lin Tianhua stroked the rough stone and said, "You are really willing to spend money. This rough stone alone is worth several million. By the way, how much Hetian jade did you get this time? What is the grade?"
Different quantities, different selling methods.
Lin Sanqi did not hide it:
"This time I got 5 tons of jade, all of which are seed materials, both large and small. If nothing goes wrong, there will be more jade delivered to me in the future. And it is not limited to Hetian jade, there are Huangtian stone, chicken blood stone, and even jadeite."
The origin of jade is in old Myanmar. Old Myanmar had a good relationship with us in 1960, so it was easy to get some jade raw stones.
The small warlords there send hundreds or thousands of tons of jadeite raw stones to China today, and tomorrow they may pick up wild mortars and automatic rifles in the woods...
"5 tons?" Lin Tianhua stopped moving his hands and his mouth was so shocked that an egg could be stuffed into it.
"Wow, this is seed material. Others are calculated by grams. Wow, you directly want 5 tons. That's an astonishing number. It will completely exceed our main business of medicinal materials."
"Then Uncle Shi, since we have so much jade, do you think it would be more cost-effective to open a jade processing factory and jewelry store, run a chain operation and sell it ourselves, or just sell the raw materials directly?"
Lin Tianhua thought a lot about Lin Sanqi's question, and then expressed his opinion:
"It would be too difficult for us to open a jade factory or jewelry store ourselves. The jewelry industry is too complicated and professional, and we don't have the relevant talent reserves. If we rush into it as outsiders, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.
The key is that you have enough jade, 5 tons of seed material, if you sell it slowly, it is not a problem to make tens of billions. In addition, you said that there may be more in the future, so there is no need for us to make every last penny, if there is money, everyone can make it. "
If there is wealth, everyone will benefit; this is a basic concept of southerners doing business.
Lin Sanqi nodded:
"Uncle Shi, you are right. Then we will just sell the raw materials. As for how to sell the jade, it will be left to your Mercedes-Benz sales team. If you feel that there are not enough salespeople and want to expand, I will not interfere. Everything is up to you."
When Lin Tianhua heard this, he felt relieved. No one wants to be controlled by a mother-in-law.
"Okay, leave the sales to me. I guarantee that we can sell it at a good price for the company. The seed material is top-grade jade, so there is no shortage of buyers. But we can't sell such a huge amount of 5 tons all at once. If we do, the jade market will collapse."
I've heard of this Lin Sanqi. Just like diamonds, it's not a precious thing. It's purely a thing created by capital.
Until later, it was ruined by our cousins from Zhecheng, Henan, and the price collapsed.
This is also the reason why Lin Sanqi particularly likes gold. Gold seems to never go out of style and is the hard currency of the world.
Antiques, jade, stamps, rosewood, etc., these things are considered treasures when they are hyped, but they are just pieces of grass when the price collapses.
Lin Sanqi had experienced three difficult years, so he knew what a Ru kiln or a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was. Wasn't it just given to the doctor as an ordinary gift for him to play with?
Can it be exchanged for rice or flour?
After leaving the company, Lin Sanqi went to the nearby May Square to see how the Lingnan Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic was being decorated.
Even though the novel has been written for more than 300 chapters, how come even a Chinese medicine clinic has not been built yet? In fact, he was mainly active in 1960, and it has only been a short time since 2013, so the decoration has not been completed yet.
When he arrived at the Chinese medicine clinic, Lin Sanqi found that it was decorated magnificently, and the lights were so bright that they could blind people's eyes.
Lin Musen was just discussing the decoration with the designer. When he saw his son coming, he waved:
"Qizai, come here, your Sixteenth Uncle wants to tell you something!"
Lingnantang Chinese Medicine Clinic was handed over to a decoration company. The owner and designer is also from the Shilou Lin family, the sixteenth child, named Lin Yanyun.
Lin Sanqi hurried over and greeted, "Uncle Sixteen."
Lin Yanyun patted Lin Sanqi on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Qizi, I heard that you are now a big boss. You are really promising. Our Lin's has produced another talent. Haha. By the way, Qizi, we have encountered a problem in the decoration. What do you think is missing in this Chinese medicine clinic?"
Lin Sanqi looked around the quaint Chinese medicine clinic, then stroked his chin and said:
"Isn't it a little empty? There's no furniture, and it's missing some decorations."
Lin Yanyun snapped her fingers:
"You're right, we just lack furniture. Your father and I discussed before that we wanted to use all mahogany furniture. You see, our decoration is the best. If we put in a full set of mahogany furniture, preferably rosewood,
When the time comes, Doctor Lin will be sitting there, and he will look very wealthy, right?
Your Lingnan Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic is a high-end one, with the best doctors, the best medicinal materials, the best decoration, and of course the best furniture.
When the boss comes to Lingnan Hall and sees a room full of furniture worth tens of millions, it shows the strength and heritage of Lingnan Hall. Naturally, he will believe that Lingnan Hall's medical skills are the best.
Those country bumpkins and rich people don’t know shit. They just judge people by appearance, so we just cater to their tastes.”
Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.
"Yes, yes, what Uncle Sixteen said is the same as what I thought, so I asked you to build some display cabinets for me in the most conspicuous places. I am going to display the top-grade medicinal materials and show them to everyone. This is the strength of our Lingnan Hall!"
Lin Yanyun was very happy when she heard that her ideas coincided with her nephew's:
"Right, that's what I said too, but your father is a stubborn person. He thinks that medical practitioners should be low-key and have simple furniture. He even wants to go to Zhongjiawan Furniture Market to buy some ordinary office furniture. Wouldn't that ruin such a good decoration?"
Lin Sanqi understood, and he also understood his own father. After all, his family was still a pauper last year, so how could he have any vision and foresight?
"Okay, Uncle Sixteen, I understand what you mean. I'll take care of the furniture. Wait for me for a day or two, and I'll definitely get you the best."
Lin Yanyun looked at Lin Musen with disdain:
"No, this matter has to be solved by Qizi. The big boss has a different perspective from a bumpkin like you."
Lin Musen was a little worried:
"If all the furniture upstairs and downstairs is made of mahogany, it will cost several hundred million, right? Wow."
Doctor Lin was thinking about how much money he could make by opening his own clinic. A set of furniture would cost hundreds of millions, and even listed companies were not so generous.
Lin Sanqi saw his father's concerns, so he reminded him quietly:
"Dad, have you forgotten what I do? It's just mahogany furniture. Leave it to me. I'll get it done over there."
"Ok?"
Lin Musen's eyes lit up: "I almost forgot, redwood is very cheap over there now, right?"
"Well, chop it up and use it as firewood."
That day, after Lin Sanqi went home for lunch, he hurriedly traveled back to 1960 to get furniture.
Lin Sanqi has a complete set of rosewood furniture, which is placed in the waterside room. Doctor Lin Kucan had to go to the trust store to buy it.
At that time, Lin Sanqi also went to pick out furniture, and saw with his own eyes that the warehouse at the back was full of second-hand furniture, with all kinds of styles and materials. Isn't this just perfect?
East Fourth Trust Store.
Lin Sanqi got out of the car and looked at the shop sign in front of him. Suddenly, he had another idea, because 50 meters to the south was Mr. Fu’s house. This old man was a prince, and the furniture in his house was definitely treasures.
The key point is that the furniture inside is all in sets, while the trust stores are mostly sold in pieces.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi got back into the car, started it, and quickly arrived at the "Prince Fu's Mansion" in East Second Hutong and knocked on the door.
Bang bang bang~~~
After a long time, the side door opened. Even though it was already in a state of decline, the middle door would not be opened. This was the rule.
"Hi, Prince Fu, good luck. Xiao Linzi greets you."
When Old Man Fu heard this, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Then he looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he laughed and scolded:
"You almost scared me to death, kid. Let me tell you, there is no roast duck that can't be solved today."
Lin Sanqi took down a few oil-paper packages from the car: "Here, roast duck and pork elbow, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Come in quickly, or you'll be seen."
After Lin Sanqi drove the car into the garage, he began to walk around the house with his hands behind his back. When he saw the shiny and neatly arranged furniture in the living room, he could tell at a glance that it was high-end and classy, and his mouth was watering. This was authentic royal style furniture, and although the carved dragon only had four claws, it was also made by the palace.
If this set of furniture were moved to Lingnan Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic, it would be so grand, so prestigious, and a cultural relic protection unit.
Mr. Fu smelled the aroma of the roast duck and was reluctant to let it go.
"Brother Lin, are you here to get the transaction list? Don't worry, I have everything ready. I'll get it to you right away."
Lin Sanqi had always asked Mr. Fu to be the middleman, selling food and medicine to the old people, and he would exchange them for gold, so he came to the Fu family quite frequently.
"Old man, come and sit down. This time I have something else to trouble you with. Please don't curse me when you hear me."
Mr. Fu paused and chuckled, "I don't curse, only my brother likes to curse. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Lin Sanqi felt the coolness of the furniture in the living room of the Fu family, and said with a slightly red face:
"Old man, are you selling this set of furniture?"
Even Mr. Fu, who had a good temper, was so angry that he laughed when he heard this:
"Get lost! This is the highlight of my living room. Without this set of furniture, it will be empty and there won't even be a place to sit. What will it look like? I won't sell it to you!"
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that as expected, this kind of furniture would be sold with one less set, and he would not sell it even if he changed his mind.
"Oh, old man, don't take it personally. If you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. That's just what I said, haha."
Mr. Fu seemed to be thinking about something. "You don't look like someone who wants to take other people's property. Why do you suddenly want furniture? Are you in trouble?"
Lin Sanqi scratched his head:
"It's not a big deal, actually. My boss suddenly became interested in Ming and Qing furniture, especially rosewood furniture, and wanted me to sell a few sets of neatly arranged furniture. I was worried."
Mr. Fu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this:
"I thought it was a big deal. It's just a few sets of rosewood furniture. They're not worth much. I didn't want to give them to you because I had to use them to decorate my storefront. But someone is living off selling their property. Come on, I'll take you to collect the furniture."
Coming out of the Fu family, walking along Dongsi 2nd Street, you will arrive at the "Yi Mo Beizi Mansion".
Mr. Fu knocked on the door and introduced:
"This Yimo was originally from the branch of Emperor Jiaqing's fifth son, Prince Huiduan Mianyu. His descendants are getting worse and worse. First they sold the West Courtyard, which is now called Songgong Mansion. Now they are eager to sell the East Courtyard where their family lives, but unfortunately no one wants to buy it."
"Fu Qing, open the door!"
As soon as the door opened, a thin man appeared. After seeing the person knocking on the door, he yawned and said, "Fifth Brother is here."
"Alright, alright, look at you, you're such a coward. Haven't you eaten in a few days? You deserve to starve to death. Poor you, your wife and children. Come, let me introduce you to this, the famous Comrade Wang."
"Comrade Wang?"
Fu Qing's eyes lit up: "Is it the powerful Comrade Wang?"
When Lin Sanqi was working as a black market broker, he called himself "Comrade Wang", so he was very famous in the circle of the old and young, and was the God of Wealth that everyone hoped to see.
Fu Qing's family has no gold. If they had gold, he would have come to trade long ago.
"Yes, it's Comrade Wang. I brought Comrade Wang here this time because he wants a few sets of rosewood furniture. Don't you have some at home? Sell them quickly and you can exchange them for some food."
Lin Sanqi also smiled: "Hello!"
Fu Qing was delighted when he heard this:
"Come in quickly. It's just furniture. For sale. Comrade Wang, take whatever you like. We can negotiate the price. I have two teenage daughters. If you like them, you can take them away. They are of royal blood!"
"Get the fuck out of here!"
When Mr. Fu heard this, he got furious and kicked Fu Qing on the butt, causing him to scream in pain.
Lin Sanqi understood. This was another waste of money. He had no bottom line and even dared to sell his daughter. No wonder Mr. Fu was angry.
"Hey, Fifth Brother, stop fighting, let's go sell the furniture and don't waste Comrade Wang's precious time."
Mr. Fu was so angry that he shook his head and kicked him again: "Don't play dead, get out in front and lead the way!"
In the living room of the Prince's Mansion.
Lin Sanqi swallowed his saliva as he looked at the furniture in front of him. The dragon and phoenix carvings were so luxurious. The deep purple-black color, even without deliberate lighting, still emitted dazzling reflections and gave off bursts of light sandalwood scent.
Lin Sanqi stood in front of the eight-immortals table and tried to lift it, but it was too heavy to lift.
Again, the furniture in Fu Qing's family has been passed down in an orderly manner and cannot be fake. If this set of furniture is placed in Lingnan Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic, it would be simply blinding.
Lin Sanqi was very satisfied.
Fu Qing showed no shame about buying the property. Instead, he introduced it enthusiastically:
"Comrade Wang, the living room you see is a complete set, all handed down from the Jiaqing period. Look at this armchair, it was worth hundreds of dollars back then.
Now in my living room, there are ten armchairs alone, and six coffee tables, this is an eight-immortals table, this is a long table, and these are flower stands.
Also, the round table in the middle of the living room is called the Bailingtai, which comes with 6 stools. All the furniture is made of red sandalwood. There are only a few sets like ours in the whole city."
Lin Sanqi didn't listen to Fu Qing's nonsense. There was little truth in what this prodigal son said.
"Comrade Fu, besides the furniture in this living room, do you have any other complete sets of furniture?"
When Fu Qing heard this, he realized that a big business was coming, so he quickly smiled and led him to the study:
"Look at this study room. It has everything, including a flat-top desk, a screen, an official hat chair, an armchair, a stool, a bookcase, a desk, an antique shelf, and a coffee table. They are all made of rosewood.
Also, the step-out bed in our room is absolutely second to none.”
Lin Sanqi waved his hands quickly: "Forget about the bed, I just want a table, chairs, benches, etc."
Fu Qing slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we have them all. Not only do we have furniture for the main hall, but we also have furniture for the east and west halls, as well as furniture for the pavilion in the back garden. You can have as many as you want. I guarantee that they are all the rosewood you want. If I don't give you one, you will slap me in the face!"
Lin Sanqi took another look around and could only say that in such a huge Prince's Mansion, there was only a house and furniture left. It was probably because this thing was difficult to sell that he kept it.
But there is no doubt that the furniture is made of rosewood, and all of it is in royal style, with dragons and phoenixes.
That big wardrobe alone is as tall as the house, at least 3 meters, and it looks amazing at first glance.
Finally, Lin Sanqi sat on the armchair in the study, looking curiously at the piece of jade inlaid on the back of the chair, thinking that this jade backrest was worth a lot of money.
Fu Qing asked cautiously, "Comrade Lin, are you satisfied with these furniture?"
Lin Sanqi couldn't go against his conscience, so he nodded honestly: "I'm very satisfied. It's a rare and exquisite product. It's a good thing."
Fu Qing's face lit up when he heard this:
"Yes, yes, they are all treasures. This is the palace awarded by Emperor Jiaqing himself. All the furniture here is made according to the specifications of a prince. They are all hundreds of years old, but they look like new. I don't want more..."
Fu Qing paused here, seeming a little guilty, but finally made up his mind.
"I want food, not money. Give me 10 tons of flour and 10 tons of rice!"
Mr. Fu's hands trembled when he heard this, but he said nothing.
Is 20 tons of grain expensive? In Lin Sanqi's opinion, it is not expensive at all, it is simply outrageously cheap.
But when you consider that this was 1960, the food ration for adults was only 21 kilograms, and people across the country were starving, you will realize how precious these 20 tons of food were.
This is not food, this is life.
Lin Sanqi uttered two words softly: "Okay..."
Fu Qing was a little embarrassed: "If 20 tons of food is difficult for you, then I can ask for less. I... what, can?..."
Lin Sanqi stroked the armrest of the armchair and nodded gently: "I will deliver 20 tons of food to you tonight."
Mr. Fu was delighted when he heard this and slapped Fu Qing on the back of his head:
"Why don't you hurry up and thank Comrade Wang? Your family is saved."
Fu Qing's eyes were also filled with tears: "Thank you, thank you..."
Lin Sanqi thought, this is really a barbaric era. The entire prince's mansion's rosewood furniture was only exchanged for 20 tons of grain, and the other party even said thank you. It's really bizarre.
That night, 10 large trucks from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Digital Hospital, with a total of 100 male employees, made several trips back and forth to help move all the furniture in the Beizi Mansion to the warehouse at Fengtai Railway Station.
When the people above heard that it was the "smugglers" from the Chinese medicine hospital who were buying up second-hand furniture, they just laughed it off and did not pursue the matter.
Furniture is not considered sensitive material.
I have got the tables, chairs and benches, but I still haven’t found a medicine cabinet that is typical of a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
The Chinese medicine cabinet is also called the "Seven-Star Cabinet", which is a cabinet with rows of small drawers horizontally and vertically. In 2013, this kind of cabinet can be customized according to the requirements of each Chinese medicine clinic, and the price is not expensive.
But Lin Sanqi thought, since all the other furniture is made of rosewood, then this Chinese medicine cabinet should also be made of rosewood.
By then, in addition to displaying top-quality medicinal materials, Lin Sanqi will also get out some antiques and curios, and display them like a museum. With all the red sandalwood, it will be even more awesome than a museum.
We just need to hire more security guards to provide 24-hour protection.
Lin Sanqi did all this to amuse his father, but he had his own plans in mind, since his own medicinal materials were all shipped over in 1960, they were authentic, and he had so many secret recipes.
Can we set up our own hospital in the future and make Lingnan Hall the best and most authoritative Chinese medicine hospital in the country? (End of this chapter)
