A doctor who travels through two eras

Director Zhao had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, very confused:

"Xiao Lin, although I am not from Yunnan, I have worked in Yunnan for more than ten years. I really can't understand what is so good about Pu'er tea?
Take the top ten famous teas in China for example: West Lake Longjing, Quangang Huibai, Huangshan Maofeng, Keemun black tea, Taiping Houkui, Lu'an Guapian, Sichuan Mengding, Dongting Biluochun, Xinyang Maojian, and Wuyi Rock Tea.

After all the calculations, there is also Pu'er tea in here.

Just like last time when you asked for Pu'er tea, our comrades went to various prefectures and counties to buy it, but the tea was piled up in the warehouse. Yunnan has a humid climate, and a lot of tea leaves are moldy and rotten, so we had to pick out some better tea cakes.

Even in ancient times, Pu'er tea was made into tea bricks and then sold in snowy areas. Think about it, can the tea sold in snowy areas be good tea? How can this thing be valuable abroad?"

Lin Sanqi thought that it was not what was valuable abroad, but what would be valuable in China decades later.

Europeans and Americans like to drink black tea, Japanese and Koreans like to drink green tea, and they have almost no interest in Pu'er tea, and there is no promotion of Pu'er tea. So how did Pu'er tea become so popular?

We have to "thank" our fellow Hong Kong compatriots for this.

They were the ones who started the real estate speculation, and they were also the ones who started the Pu'er tea speculation.

This group of people entered the mainland in the 1980s and 1990s, and began to cooperate with certain domestic interest groups and began to hype the magical effects of Pu'er tea in major media.

It has the effects of clearing away heat and promoting salivation, helping digestion and relieving alcohol, cleaning the mouth, and refreshing the mind.

Later it became magical again, and was touted to have such effects as lowering fat and weight, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, nourishing and protecting the stomach, preventing thrombosis, and promoting bowel movements.

In the end, it was hyped up to be able to prevent cancer, keep you young forever, etc. Anyway, they just spread it around to say how magical it is.

Once the market becomes heated and everyone knows about it, capital will start to monetize the traffic.

The first step is to create a brand. Pick a few mountains and find a few ancient tea trees. Then start telling mythological stories around these tea trees to scare consumers.

In this way, with the joint efforts of Hong Kong capital and domestic capital, and with the cooperation of a large number of domestic investors, Pu'er tea is no longer tea.

It is a kind of financial attribute, a game of passing the parcel.

Lin Sanqi doesn't believe in this kind of nonsense, but that doesn't stop him from taking advantage of the situation and making some money.

Aren’t you capitalists trying to hype Pu’er tea and make a lot of money? But you could never dream that someone could travel through time and get the exact same tea that you have stockpiled, thus breaking their monopoly on Pu’er tea.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi took the boiled water brought by the staff and said:
"Comrade Lao Zhao, don't think too much. We should just provide the kind of tea that foreigners like to drink. You should quickly think of a way to exchange tea for penicillin. Do you think this deal can be done?"

Zhao Youxia chuckled:
"We can do it, we can do it. Xiaolin, you don't know, we in Yunnan see other brother provinces such as ZJ Province and Hu Jian Province exporting tea to earn foreign exchange, you know how jealous we are.

Now, the situation has changed. This unwanted Pu'er tea can be exchanged for precious materials. Only a fool would not exchange it. Then we have a deal. You are not allowed to regret it!

No, Xiaolin, since it's rare for you to come to Yunnan, I'll go back and report to my boss and try to arrange a special flight tomorrow. Where to? Oh, right, Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, right?
Lao Cao, is there a military airport in Menghai?"

Cao Zhiyang shook his head: "Menghai doesn't have an airport, but there is an airport in nearby Xishuangbanna. It only takes more than an hour to fly there, which is also convenient."

Zhao Youxia slapped his thigh and said cheerfully:

"Then fly to Xishuangbanna. Xiaolin, you can go there to inspect it in person. If it is the Pu'er tea you need, you can place an order on the spot and tell us the quantity and quality you want. We in Yunnan will fully cooperate with you."

Lin Sanqi thought about it and it was a good idea. Anyway, the plane could go back and forth, and if everything went smoothly, he could go back and forth on the same day.

Even if you can't go back and forth on the same day, staying for one or two nights is not a problem. Just treat it as a trip and see what those mythical old tea trees look like now.

If he could really get some Mansong Pu'er, Bingdao Pu'er, Banzhang Pu'er, etc., he would make a fortune again. You know, in another time and space, high-end Pu'er tea would cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands per kilogram.

Its economic value is no less than that of Xinhui dried tangerine peel.

When Commander Cao saw that Lin Sanqi and Zhao Youxia were chatting enthusiastically, he became anxious.

Director Zhao represented the civilian system, and penicillin was to be distributed to various hospitals or to support medical teams. But Cao Zhiyang represented the military system, and the province could find a way to exchange some Pu'er tea for penicillin, but what about their troops? Would they keep the backward weapons seized from the Guo army?

Thinking of this, Commander Cao quickly said with a flattering tone:

"Commissioner Lin, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other. You don't have a part-time job in the health system, but you are the deputy director of our General Logistics Department's Health Department. So no matter how you look at it, we are family. You can't only take care of outsiders and not take care of our troops."

In Commander Cao's opinion, exchanging some garbage tea leaves for penicillin means that Lin Sanqi is taking care of the place and letting people go.

Lin Sanqi had already thought of a program for Cao Zhiyang last night, so how could he let him go?
"Commander Cao, let me ask you, how is your relationship with the Burmese in the south?"

Cao Zhiyang was confused:
"We have good relations with all the third world countries, especially the three neighbors to the south. We interact with each other a lot and have a good relationship, but what does it have to do with them?"

Lin Sanqi then reminded:

"Captain Cao, you are really begging for food while sitting on a mountain of gold. Don't you know that Burma has a kind of jade called 'emerald'? This thing is good and valuable."

Commander Cao's mind flashed through those sparkling jades, but he was still a little confused:
"I know about jadeite. It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi and Song Meilin particularly liked this kind of jade. But we are in a new society now, and everyone is equal. Who still plays with jade these days? It is not valuable anymore."

It can be said that there is not a single jewelry and jade store in the entire country. If people can’t even afford to eat, who would care about jade?
Suddenly, Commander Cao reacted and asked excitedly:
"Commissioner Lin, do you mean that we can exchange jade for medicine from you?"

Lin Sanqi clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I want the jadeite, but I need high-grade jadeite, such as glass-type emerald. I don't want the lower quality ones."

Commander Cao immediately thought to himself that China and Myanmar have a good relationship, especially the relationship between Yunnan and several special economic zones on the Lao-Myanmar border is even closer.

How close is it? Let me put it this way: almost all the food, drink, and toilet supplies there are shipped from Yunnan.

If Yunnan is extremely poor, then the people across the Lao-Myanmar border are even poorer and can only eat tree bark.

So Commander Cao felt that it would not be a big problem for him to ask for some jadeite. At most he could give the Burmese some penicillin in exchange.

Thinking of the price difference, Commander Cao asked unconfidently:

"Commissioner Lin, rest assured. I will take care of the jadeite, but you need to give me the rules for the exchange."

Lin Sanqi miraculously took out a box from his backpack. Since he was planning to purchase jadeite last night, he had naturally made preparations in advance.

"Captain Cao, look, this is a jade bracelet, glass-type imperial green. If you give me one of these bracelets, I'll give you 10,000 bottles of penicillin. If it's a jade tablet, I'll give you 500 bottles.

If you don't have a bracelet, a rough stone of this level will do. We can negotiate the exchange price. I, Lin Sanqi, will never let our troops suffer any loss, right?"

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, rumbling~~~
Lin Sanqi shrank his neck, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the sky:
"God, please have pity on me for traveling through two eras to make a little money. It's not easy. Please don't let a thunder strike me to death."

A glass-type imperial green jadeite bracelet is definitely worthy of being auctioned, with a market price ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions.

But Lin Sanqi was prepared to exchange it for 10,000 bottles of penicillin. His conscience was extremely dark. What was Liu Wencai in front of Lin Sanqi?

But Lin Sanqi had no choice. He didn't dare to raise the prices, otherwise he would not be able to fill the bottomless pit when purchasing supplies in the country in the future.

Besides, how many lives could ten thousand bottles of penicillin save? Who would lose and who would gain if they were exchanged for a bracelet?

Commander Cao didn't know what was going on in Lin Sanqi's mind. He was extremely excited, so he patted Lin Sanqi's shoulder heavily:
"Okay, Comrade Sanqi, you are great. You really care about our Yunnan region and the garrison. Don't worry, I will personally go to Ruili Lao Myanmar tomorrow and guarantee to get you some jade. However, if the amount of jade is too much..."

Lin Sanqi was ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and composed:
"General Cao, it's rare for me to come to Yunnan. I can take all the jade you can get, so don't worry about the quantity. I will take as many as you can get and I guarantee that I will exchange all of it for the penicillin you need."

Commander Cao was so excited that he almost cried, thinking that he could get something for nothing.

At that time, he would exchange one bracelet for 10,000 bottles of penicillin, and he would pay Lao Mian 1,000 bottles, so he could make a profit of the difference of 9,000 bottles.

It's a bloody profit. (End of this chapter)
