1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 378 Eh? So I am considered a top figure?

Yang Mo plans to gradually commercialize the Ten Flavors of Shandong: honeysuckle, salvia miltiorrhiza, American ginseng, Glehnia littoralis, hawthorn, ophiopogon japonicus, Trichosanthes kirilowii, scorpion, toad venom, and reed root.

The main ingredients of Xuanmai Citrus Tea: Ophiopogon japonicus, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Platycodon grandiflorum, and raw licorice.

The main ingredient of honeysuckle dew: honeysuckle.

From this, we can see how attractive the two projects that Tao Quan plans to invest in are to Yang Mo.

This is definitely a bait thrown out after a careful investigation of Yang Mo's GAP planting base and a serious study of the industrial conditions related to Lu Shiwei.

the reason is simple……

Unlike authentic Chinese medicinal materials such as scorpion, toad venom, and trichosanthes, the three authentic Chinese medicinal materials in Lu Shiwei, namely Ophiopogon japonicus, honeysuckle, and hawthorn, are not decisive medicinal materials in most traditional Chinese medicine formulas.

That is to say, in a set of formulas, if these three materials are made of authentic medicinal materials, the effect will certainly be better, but if they are replaced with ordinary materials, the efficacy will not be greatly affected.

Therefore, from the perspective of strategic value, these three medicinal materials have a rather embarrassing existence among the many authentic medicinal materials in Qi and Lu... Because they do not have irreplaceable efficacy, nor are they scarce or regionally exclusive, they cannot bring Yang Mo enough voice in the industry.

It just so happens that these three medicinal materials are famous for their yield per mu... Even the Ophiopogon japonicus, which has the smallest yield, can produce up to 200KG per mu of fresh medicine with the current level of technology, not to mention the popular products such as Hawthorn and Honeysuckle, which can bloom two or three times a year and have a fresh yield of up to 500KG per mu, with a yield of over two tons per mu.

In other words, the economic crop attributes of these three medicinal materials far exceed their authentic medicinal material attributes.

Therefore, how to digest the huge production capacity of these medicinal materials in an orderly manner has become a headache for Yang Mo... After all, since they are called "authentic medicinal materials", the prices must be differentiated from similar ordinary medicinal materials. Otherwise, what is the point of this Lu Shiwei plan?
Although according to the original agreement, Sankyo Co., Ltd. will purchase a portion of authentic medicinal materials including these three kinds of medicinal materials every year, and Yang Mo will also digest these production capacities through storage and direct supply of raw materials to some pharmaceutical factories, but this is not a long-term solution... To put it bluntly, his plan is to use the ten medicinal materials to promote the popularity of Qilu medicinal materials in various industries, set a benchmark, and then feed back to the development of the local planting industry of related medicinal materials. If they are not circulated in large quantities nationwide, you can't talk about the impact.

That’s why the subsequent “pan-market circulation plan” came into being.

In this plan, the application of three medicinal materials, Ophiopogon japonicus, Honeysuckle and Crataegus pinnatifida, in food and beverages is undoubtedly a crucial link.

But as mentioned earlier, there are very few people who have the courage to touch the medicinal tea industry. Therefore, although the medicinal tea shops on Commercial Street 1 are doing very well, to date, except for Tao Quan's investment in the Eight Immortals Tea project, no one dares to invest in other medicinal tea projects.

Therefore, now that Tao Quan suddenly expressed that his employer was willing to invest 2000 million to invest in two medicinal tea projects that required a large amount of honeysuckle and ophiopogon japonicus, it was very attractive to Yang Mo.

However, as an old VC, risk control awareness is deeply rooted in his genes. Even if the bargaining chips offered by Tao Quan's family are attractive, he will definitely not agree if he does not figure out why the other party would inexplicably come to him.

………………

Song Wenxuan looked at the man in front of him who was trying to get to the bottom of things with a somewhat strange look.

To be honest, he sometimes admired his love rival very much. After all, he was a commoner, but he could emerge like a dark horse in just two years. He not only gradually established close relationships with the competent authorities in Linyi, Dezhou, Lanling and other places, but also had a considerable weight in the Qilu Petroleum System... Although there were too many opportunities and coincidences, and the factor of heroes being made by the times, no matter what, this guy's ability was really amazing.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that these achievements were made by this guy almost single-handedly.

If you don't rely on others, there will be no entanglement in cause and effect.

Therefore, you can say that Yang Mo is now actually a school of his own... People from a family like his understand the significance of the four words "a school of his own".

But on the other hand, he felt that this guy, who already needed his father's attention, was childish enough to be laughable in many ways.

Let’s not talk about how Yang Mo handles some things and interpersonal relationships, but as for the current matter, anyone who has been in their circle for a year or two knows why Mr. Tao’s master would ask him for help at all costs, but this guy actually looks confused and ignorant.

If this expression was fake, then Song would only feel that this guy was so scheming that it made him shudder;
But he was very confident that Yang Mo's doubts were not fake.

and so……

If Yang Mo hadn't stirred up all kinds of trouble right under his nose, he would almost have thought that this guy's achievements were all attributed to someone else under a false name.

Damn, the contrast is too big!
………………

Putting away the thoughts in his mind and asking Tao Quan to leave first, Song Wenxuan closed the door and turned to look at him with his head tilted: "Yang Mo, do you think the higher-ups don't know anything?"

Yang Mo was stunned and didn't react: "What?"

Song Wenxuan glanced at him, his expression still odd: "I mean, do you think Tao Quan and his team's roundabout approach is very smart? They can both win face for the leaders in an open and aboveboard manner and do a big favor to them without anyone noticing?"

Yang Mo shook his head: "I don't think so."

Song Wenxuan nodded: "I'm glad you don't think so... Otherwise, I will have to let down Uncle Mu's kindness and part ways with you."

Song Wenxuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Yang Mo, you know, no one who can enter the system is a fool, and those who can become leaders are the elite among the elites... So, for many things, people know much more than we think;"

Yang Mo nodded. As someone who was qualified to put a copy of Reference News on his desk every day, he naturally would not doubt the ability of this ancient country to obtain information, even though it had not yet entered the Internet age and even though there was no such thing as big data.

But he has already reacted: "So Mr. Tao and his team can't just apply for the sponsorship rights for the Asian Games Torch Relay. Do they need to borrow someone else's skin?"

Song Wenxuan nodded: "That's right, things are divided into different levels. Some things they may be able to turn a blind eye to and wait for the right time to take action; but other things need to be done cleanly from the beginning."

"Obviously, this Asian Games, which is so grand and has been highly anticipated and watched by countless countries around the world, has such a great significance that it is impossible for the authorities to leave any grounds for criticism from the very beginning, allowing those unfriendly media at home and abroad to ferment some unfriendly public opinions!"

At this point, Song Wenxuan pondered for a moment: "Yang Mo, you should understand the principle of [The past cannot be brought back], right?"

Yang Mo nodded: "Understand."

Song Wenxuan smiled and said, "Although the past cannot be retrieved, we still have to look back on everything... Therefore, how these people and their white gloves will proceed in the future, and whether they will return to the baton, is a very important consideration."

"Although everyone knows the benefits, it is far from easy to get them smoothly... People with criminal records are inherently deficient, and you can't give them money even if you have it."

“So, at this time, a middleman with sufficient weight becomes the key!”

Some things don't need to be said clearly.

So Yang Mo was stunned when he heard it, and pointed at his nose as if he was doubting his life:
"middleman?"

"just me?"

"Song Wenxuan, are you sure you're not drunk?"

This is the truth. Since this Asian Games is of great significance, the leaders of the organizing committee are all bigwigs. A mere section-level cadre might be considered impressive in a small county like Linyi, but if you put him there... I'm afraid that someone who pours tea or water will be higher in rank than you.

Song Wenxuan looked at him with a helpless look: "Yang Mo, when you go out with me in the future, don't say you know me... I can't afford to lose face!"

"You have been working in the central enterprise system for two years. Is there any necessary connection between a high or low job title and how important a person is in the eyes of the leader? "

"When you were in the drilling company, you were just a small clerk, weren't you? There are more than 500 cadres above the deputy section level in the drilling company. If we really only consider the level and title, how could a young man like you who just graduated jump out!?"

Yang Mo rolled his eyes, thinking that it was just a coincidence of timing. That fat guy Director Zhang needed to establish his own territory, and Wang Yinuo and Vice President Feng were fighting in a boxing match at that time, so a military strategist like me came into their sight!
Seeing this, Song Wenxuan sighed tiredly, and then patiently explained: "Yang Mo, let me ask you, the Momo Baizha and Momo Baichao that you founded, which have more than 500 franchise stores, can be considered a well-known chain enterprise in the Central Plains region and a model of business model innovation?"

Yang Mo pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "Just barely...right?"

Song Wenxuan curled his lips and said, "Then let me ask you again. You were the first to introduce the commercial breeding of 817 broilers on a large scale. Coupled with the continuous promotion of the Laoliu Chicken Breeding Institute for more than half a year, the breeding scale in Qilu alone has exceeded 3 million chickens, making this new breed independently developed by my country initially able to compete with foreign yellow-white-feathered chickens in terms of breeding scale and usage scale... Is this an exemplary achievement worthy of a strong mention in the field of independent research and development and application of domestic science and technology?"

Yang Mo wanted to explain to him that 817 broiler chickens were strictly speaking just a hybrid and not a poultry breed, but that was not the point of the topic at the moment, so he nodded awkwardly, "It should be... barely considered a breed, right?" Song Wenxuan snorted, "Then let me ask you, last year, when Wang Yinuo's special working group was solving the triangular debt problem in Linyi County, the debt swap model and JIT production model you proposed effectively promoted the commodity circulation and value circulation at the urban-rural grassroots level, and opened up a new path to clear the blocked links in the local economic cycle, and were even reported and analyzed by newspapers from all over the country."

"Although this model eventually died down due to rejection by local enterprises, this was not a crime of war. Even the internal reference gave this model a very positive evaluation... It is not an exaggeration to say that you have made achievements of reference value and positive significance in the reform and exploration of the county economic model."

Yang Mo scratched his hair: "For the time being...Is it so?"

Song Wenxuan couldn't bear to see this guy being so shy despite having made achievements, so he snorted again: "You use division of labor projects and commercial investment as bait, with Xialiu Sales Agency as the main force, to promote the retro two-tier PPP model in various rural areas, and use your influence in the drilling company and Dahua Company to gradually open up the city-rural and rural-rural commercial value chain;"

"This combination of measures not only gradually revitalized the economic vitality of some rural grassroots areas, but also gradually optimized the atmosphere in these rural areas by linking the comprehensive assessment score with the project investment amount and the division of labor project amount, and inducing them to implant values ​​and behavioral norms;"

"So, it's not too much to say that you have made achievements that are valuable for regional reference in uniting and correctly guiding the grassroots masses in rural areas, right?"

Yang Mo's eyes were a little evasive: "If you insist on saying so... it can be barely related to it."

Song Wenxuan's eyes flashed with jealousy. "Also, after you were transferred to Dahua Company, you actively promoted in-depth cooperation with the central government and local governments in Dezhou. Not only did you effectively drive the internal circulation of the local urban economy through a commercial demonstration zone built from scratch, but you also tried to build a multi-dimensional commodity/value circulation channel from Dezhou to the province, outside the province, and abroad by creating industrial siphoning power... The most exaggerated thing is that according to the evaluation of the initial operation results, your plan is actually feasible;"

"So, can you say that you have explored a set of cases that can be used as reference in the cooperation between the central government and local governments, and provided a breakthrough idea that can be used as reference for the reform of old industrial cities?"

Yang Mo just felt uncomfortable all over, and became a little angry: "This is still a mystery, it's too early to talk about it now... No, Song Wenxuan, what do you want to do by talking about so much nonsense?"

Song Wenxuan snorted disdainfully: "What do you want to do? I'm just asking you one question... don't you think there's anything wrong?"

Yang Mo was stunned: "What's wrong? What's wrong? I don't see it!"

Song Wenxuan looked up to the sky and sighed speechlessly: "Yang Mo, sometimes I really don't know whether you are pretending to be stupid or really stupid... Do you know the director Ma in Changshan, the neighboring province?"

"He just revitalized the Changshan Paper Mill and contracted 100 paper mills, but he has been repeatedly praised and even received by Zhongnanhai four times... Ask yourself, are your achievements in these two short years worse than that of Director Ma?"

"Not bad, right? I can even tell you responsibly that the achievements you have made not only far exceed that of Director Ma in terms of actual economic scale, but their comprehensive value is also far beyond the reach of a hundred paper mills;"

"But the problem is... you haven't received any praise or meeting from the higher-ups until now. Even your rank is only a regular section chief... and it was the drilling company that promoted you."

"So, you haven't realized anything yet?"

Yang Mo was a little confused: "Comparing me with Director Ma? How can we compare? He is a senior, and the situation a few years ago is completely different from now... Besides, he is a local state-owned enterprise, and we are a central enterprise. The platforms are different, and the standards are naturally different. How can I compare with him?"

Song Wenxuan almost vomited blood: "It's only been five years, how different can the situation be... No, that's not right, I almost got fooled by you, this is not the point I'm talking about!"

As he spoke, Song Wenxuan pinched his brows hard: "I just said so much, the point I want to tell you is... Have you ever played with springs?"

"The longer you store energy, the greater the kinetic energy. Do you think I need to explain this to you?"

"So, what I want to tell you is that the longer the higher-ups delay in praising you by name, and the longer they delay in letting you report to the imperial capital, the more important you are in their eyes!"

"Whether you are willing to admit it or not, you will definitely be praised and received by your superiors for your achievements in the past two years... The reason why you have been missing is mainly because you have done too many things and caused so much trouble. So before all your actions have produced complete results, the superiors can only hold back their temper;"

"In fact, this is also an important reason why the DZ city authorities are so actively promoting in-depth cooperation with our Dahua Company, and why Executive Director Ye is willing to compete for the Solitary Island II project...Everyone wants to take advantage of the east wind, and once the Solitary Island II project is successfully implemented, it will be a beautiful thing for both parties to achieve success."

At this point, the jealousy in Song Wenxuan's eyes could almost poke a few holes in Yang Mo's body: "So, it can be expected that, regardless of whether the Solitary Island No. 2 project can be successfully implemented, as long as your commercial demonstration area can operate smoothly, when you are named by the higher-ups, your reward will definitely be extremely generous!"

"So now you know why Mr. Tao's family would spend 2000 million to hire you as the middleman, right?"

After saying that, Song Wenxuan glanced at Yang Mo and added: "I know what you want to say, but you have to understand that some things and some people are not suitable to stand up."

Huh? ?

So I... ?
Yang Mo, who had always considered himself a commoner, opened his mouth wide, unable to digest the news for a moment.

In his opinion, most of what he had done in the past two years was just for self-preservation. Even if he had achieved some success, his original intention was not right and he was not worthy of the attention from his superiors... Besides, all the efforts he had made in the past two years could only boost GDP by 20 to 30 billion at best. GDP is not tax revenue. In the future when the GDP of a place can easily reach trillions, such an achievement is not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth. He really didn't think it was anything great.

only……

So the other party came to you with the intention of exchanging favors for favors?

This is something that I need to think about carefully. Although I never expected any reward or care from my superiors, I have to evaluate whether it is worth it to exchange such a face-enhancing thing for the 2000 million investment.

Seeing Yang Mo deep in thought, Song Wenxuan expressed his opinion: "I personally think that it is worth giving this favor. After all, your achievements are there, and it won't be affected much by asking for favor once... And whether it is from the perspective of promoting the rapid marketization of Lu Shiwei or from other aspects, you can gain the friendship of Mr. Tao's family, which is actually more for you."

After a pause, he added, "Of course, you still have to make your own decision on this matter, but I think, whether you agree or refuse, it's best to make a decision within one or two days... According to the information we received, Jianlibao intends to send their special assistant, Li Ning, who is known as the little prince of gymnastics, to Beijing to meet with the leaders of the organizing committee;"

"Although he is not in the same field as you, the gymnastics prince is also a very important person in the eyes of the leaders... It is obvious that Jianlibao intends to steal the limelight this time."

Li Ning?

Yang Mo looked up in surprise.

He was not qualified to know all these twists and turns in his previous life, so he only vaguely remembered that after the sponsorship rights for the Asian Games torch relay were vacated, it was Jianlibao's special assistant Li Ning who approached the organizing committee and expressed that Jianlibao's employees were willing to work together and spare no effort to pay another sum of money for sponsorship. Then, after considering it, the leaders of the organizing committee simply waved their hands and reduced the sponsorship fee for the torch relay from 250 million US dollars to 250 million RMB... Although he didn't know how many days it took from contact to decision, he vaguely remembered that it didn't seem to be long.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Mo quickly calculated in his mind the value of the 2000 million yuan invested in the two medicinal tea projects for his Lu Shiwei plan. He opened his eyes and said, "What should I do? Should I book a train ticket directly to the capital? Or should I send a letter in the name of Dahua Company first?"

He was not very good at cross-system communication with superiors for matters other than business, so he did not care about face and went straight to ask Mr. Song for advice.

Song Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but shook his head: "You don't have to go to the capital by yourself... In fact, before you are named, it is not appropriate for you to take the initiative to go to the capital... You just need to be careful and write a sincere letter of request, and leave the rest to me. I will go to the capital... By the way, if possible, write a more indignant letter, which will not only fit your image in the eyes of the leaders, but may also give you some extra points."

Oh?
All I need to do is write a letter of enlistment that is full of indignation?
Yang Mo looked at Song Wenxuan meaningfully. "Mr. Song, you took the initiative to take on this job and even planned to go to the capital in person. I'm afraid you didn't just want to show off in front of your boss... Tell me, what benefits did Mr. Tao's family promise you?"

Song Wenxuan smiled when he heard this: "It's not much of a benefit. It's nothing more than a promise to help me get some connections in Shantou and Shanghai so that my hotel chain can find a few locations."

hiss~
Yang Mo took a deep breath. This price was not small!

After a pause, Yang Mo looked at him with a half-smile: "It's not impossible to give this lucrative job to you, but the 2000 million investment from Mr. Tao alone is not enough, you have to help me with more efforts."

Song Wenxuan frowned: "2000 million is not enough!? Yang Mo, your appetite is too big...Okay, tell me, what else do you want?"

Yang Mo laughed: "Don't look at me like that. I am not what you think I am... Actually, what I asked you to do is official business. As the office director of Dahua Company, it is time for you to contribute to the company."

Song Wenxuan tilted his eyebrows: "Oh? Business?"

Yang Mo chuckled: "After you reminded me, I realized that we can also make use of this Asian Games to make something of it. If we do well, it may be of great benefit to the company's business and the implementation of the Solitary Island II project."

"So, since you're planning to go to the capital to show up in front of the leaders, why not take the opportunity to finalize a few more things..."
