A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 383: Unprecedented Numbers

You Liqun was worried and told the employees about the content of the conversation. Now all the other staff members of the Ginseng Cooperative were jealous:
"President, change!"

"Yes, they replaced everything. They gave us food and penicillin!"

"That's right. Every year, there are so many ginseng farmers who get injured while picking ginseng in the mountains. Every year, there are dozens or even hundreds of them who die. Penicillin can save lives."

"Let alone the employees, we have to take care of the tens of thousands of employees' family members."

"Now that we have food, let's get through this winter first. Otherwise, so many people will starve to death or freeze to death. It's all life!"

The workers must think of their own interests first. When there is food and medicine, won't everyone have a share? As for what will happen if your ginseng warehouse is emptied...

What consequences can there be? At worst, you, Old You, will be fired. If that doesn't work, I'll just shoot you and let thousands of families be happy.

When You Liqun heard that all the employees were asking for a trade, he also made up his mind:

"Okay, I'll go for it, but Dean Lin inside said that materials are tight right now, and we can't set prices based on market prices. What do you think is appropriate for us?"

"We need food, the more the better!"

"We need penicillin, the more the better, this stuff saves lives!"

"We need both food and penicillin. The more the better. Both save lives!"

You Liqun rolled his eyes:
"Stop dreaming all day long. It's not easy for Dean Lin to help us. Do you still expect to get rich?"

Vice President Sun smacked his lips at this time:

"I think how can we get food? Let's not talk about whether others can supply it. The transportation problem cannot be solved. You take the road? You have to pass through many regions and checkpoints. If they find the food, they will confiscate it on the spot.

Transport by rail? The railway boss is even more arrogant. He will take away the grain you brought to Tonghua and hide it for his own consumption. Then he will say it was lost. He will be polite to compensate you according to the grain price stipulated by the state. He may also not give you either the money or the grain."

You Liqun nodded:

"That makes sense. That's why I was afraid of that. That's why Dean Lin was going to personally deliver the first batch of ginseng purchased by the Chinese Medicine Hospital. That's why I'm so grateful to him."

Vice President Zhang was relatively old, so he stroked his chin and suggested:
"Then we should get more penicillin. This stuff is small and easy to transport. The key is that penicillin is a scarce commodity in our Northeast. Regional hospitals only have a few bottles for emergency use. I heard that the big hospitals in the provincial capital don't have many bottles either.

Think about it, before liberation, a bottle of penicillin was worth a small yellow croaker, and it is still very precious now. As long as we have penicillin in our hands, why should we be afraid that we can't exchange it for the food, pork, and daily necessities we want?

By then, I'm afraid that all units in the Northeast will bring their products to us for exchange, and we will have more options. And at the moment, we can also avoid the difficulties of transporting bulk commodities such as grain."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Old Sun, this is a good idea!"

"I agree. We already have 200 tons of food!"

"With penicillin, we can use it ourselves or exchange it. This is a good idea!"

Seeing that everyone agreed with this opinion, You Liqun also nodded:

"How much food and penicillin will that take?"

The employees who were gathered around did not dare to speak up at this time: "Boss, you have the final say."

You Liqun estimated and said:
"How about this, we ask for a thousand tons of food and ten thousand bottles of penicillin, what do you think?
This is how I calculated it. We currently have 2000 farmers, plus the staff at the headquarters of each branch, which adds up to about 2300 people.

1200 tons of grain is enough for each of our employees to get kilograms of grain. This amount of grain is enough for each employee's family to get through this long winter. We will store the remaining grain as emergency food.

As for penicillin, we will make unified arrangements. When our ginseng cooperative is short of something, we can take penicillin to exchange with others. My overall goal is to ensure that every ginseng farmer and every staff member can survive the disaster year safely. "

Good~~~The employees applauded.

Vice President Zhang felt a little embarrassed:

"Are we being too ruthless? Especially with 10,000 bottles of penicillin. I don't think there are that many in the entire Northeast."

Vice President Sun tilted his head and said, "Let's give it a try first. This kind of sucker is more rare than thousand-year-old ginseng. What if it succeeds? If not, we can bargain." After half an hour, the discussion of the Ginseng Cooperative General Society came to a conclusion. You Liqun, on behalf of the Ginseng Society, formally put forward the exchange request.

"One thousand tons of grain, ten thousand bottles of penicillin?"

Lin Sanqi thought, my god, more than 20,000 ginsengs, tens of billions of assets, and my cost was only a few million yuan? What's the difference between this and buying for free? "

Seeing that Lin Sanqi was lost in thought, You Liqun thought that he was dissatisfied with the transaction amount, so he said a little embarrassedly:

"Comrade Lin, this is the result of our collective discussion. If you think this deal is a bit too much, we can still..."

"Okay, I agree!"

Lin Sanqi smiled and thought that if he bargained again, he would be struck by lightning.

Although it is only a regional ginseng cooperative, the more than 20,000 wild ginsengs are enough to support Lingnantang Company's sales for several years. As long as the hype is proper, it can easily add up to tens of billions.

With so much wealth in his possession, even if Lin Sanqi has a bad heart, he would not be so evil as to withhold the ginseng that the ginseng farmers have collected at the risk of their lives.

"President You, you guys are going to pack the ginseng. I'm going to prepare the supplies. The New Year is coming soon. Let's try to get it done in the next few days so that you can have a happy New Year. Maybe after we get through 1961, things will get better slowly."

You Liqun clapped his hands happily:

"Okay, okay, Dean Lin is a straightforward person, so I, You, am also straightforward. I will organize people to pack ginseng today. I am happy today. This is Dean Lin's first time in the Northeast. Let's go, I'll treat you, let's go have a meal."

Lin Sanqi became interested as soon as he heard it. This thing is the most wild game, and there is no law to protect animals these days, so can't people eat it as they please?

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi's saliva began to flow faster. He was just waiting for a delicious meal. Isn't that what people in Huadu love?

As a result, when it was evening, Lin Sanqi was stunned when he saw the big pot of corn porridge, the big pot of pig-killing dishes, and a bottle of white wine on the table.

Where's the feast? Where's the table full of protected animals? He seems to have eaten pork before, and there are more than 200 Tibetan pigs in his space.

The people from the Ginseng Cooperative were extremely enthusiastic and were all making a fuss about toasting.

You Liqun held up the bowl, bowed his head, and was very respectful:

"Dean Lin, come and try our Northeastern pig-killing dishes. In order to welcome you, our distinguished guest, we specially slaughtered a pig. Today, we are all benefiting from Dean Lin's kindness. And this wine, it's sorghum wine that I have hidden for many years. Let's not go home until we are drunk today! Hehe~~~"

Lin Sanqi was still sighing in his heart that without the game flavor, the wine tasted bland.

In fact, he had no idea that the Ginseng Cooperative had begged for this pig from everyone and had it slaughtered on the spot.

Just the icy and snowy Northeast, with temperatures of more than 30 degrees below zero, who would dare to go into the mountains? Where would the game come from?
That night, hundreds of ginseng farmers packed 25,000 ginseng roots and delivered them to the warehouse next to the train station.

They thought the ginseng was being sold to the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so they had no suspicion that they were being scammed and shipped the goods first, not worrying about not receiving the balance.

Lin Sanqi showed up at the train station on time the next evening and put all the ginseng into the space as quickly as possible.

Then 1200 bottles of penicillin and tons of grain were placed in the warehouse.

In order to avoid unexpected disputes, he called You Liqun through the duty room of the train station before leaving by train that evening to inform him that the supplies had arrived.

You Liqun put down the phone and his face turned red.

Ran out of the room, yelling to the people in the corridor:
"Everyone, please pay attention. Food and medicine have arrived. To be on the safe side, all ginseng farmers at home should go out and bring their equipment. Let's transport the supplies back in the dark. We must not let other units snatch them away!"

Five or six hundred ginseng farmers at home went out together, and everyone ran to the train station like crazy.

Fortunately, no accidents happened. After all, not to mention the people from other units, even the employees at the railway station did not expect that there would be so much food and precious penicillin in the warehouse next door!
By the next day, when rumors spread in Tonghua City that the ginseng cooperative had become rich, the ginseng farmers had already distributed the grain.

With food and penicillin, even in the most difficult year of 1961, none of the more than employees and tens of thousands of their families in the cooperative died of hunger. This can be considered a contribution made by Lin.

This wave of traffic monetization is considered a big one. I don’t know if this kind of grand occasion has ever been unprecedented, but it will definitely be the last. (End of this chapter)
