Chapter 201: Selling Medicine Begins
Wang Tiedan’s meaning was very clear. If you want the recipe, you have to buy it. After you buy it, you can either make it yourself or ask him to help you prepare it.
It’s fine if you make it yourself, but would you dare to waste such a huge investment?
People in different positions think differently.
While the village committee secretaries were considering the investment and cost, Director Xie and Director Ni were already thinking about how to use this matter to enhance their own political achievements.
Cost and ginseng are not issues they need to consider. As long as they confirm that something is true, there is room for exploitation.
"Comrade, money and ginseng are no problem. We just want to know what the effect of this bait is. Would you mind showing it to us?"
"Sorry, there's no more. We used it up a long time ago."
"Nothing left at all?"
"It's true that they are gone. What we are using now are soaked corn kernels. If you don't believe me, you can take a look."
Wang Tiedan pointed to the bait at his feet and said.
Afraid of being cheated, Director Xie couldn't help but go and check it out. There was only a handful of corn kernels soaked in hot water.
After reading it, he looked at Director Ni again.
What to do? Since we're here, we have to squeeze something out of it.
Director Ni also understood what the other party meant, and he cleared his throat first.
"Little comrade, to be honest, this bait issue is of great importance. Can you think of a way to make some more?
Don't worry, we will pay you whatever the price is, and we will not hide your contribution. I believe that with this bait, you will be able to rise to the top and have a bright future. "
Wang Tiedan laughed when he heard Director Ni’s empty promises.
"Director Ni, do you think I'm a fool, or do you think Director Li of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a fool? If this thing is so useful, we would have mass-produced it long ago. It's not your turn to give us advice."
"That's right, Director Ni, Director Xie, forget it. It's much better to keep the ginseng as a life-saving medicine than to use it as bait. What do you think?"
After Skinny Monkey finished speaking, Director Xie and the other man blushed. They thought they could achieve some political achievements, but it turned out to be all in vain.
Things have come to this point, and I can only leave as a sign of respect.
The village heads could only follow closely and leave.
Not long after, Secretary Zhao came back excitedly.
"I'm sorry, Brother Tiedan, I didn't take good care of the people in the village."
"It's ok, are they all gone?"
"Let's go. The directors of these two communes are not big-hearted people. I heard that they also have connections in Sijiu City. They should ask about you.
So you guys pay attention.”
"Don't worry, Secretary Zhao. The less capable we are, the less responsibility we have, and the fewer things we have to deal with. We have nothing to worry about. At most, we can just give them the bait formula."
"Are your recipes really made with ginseng that's hundreds of years old?"
"It has to be a very old one, several decades old, not hundreds of years old, haha."
"That scared me. If it's a ginseng that's hundreds of years old, we really can't afford it."
"You know what? I really might not be able to afford it in the future. Ginseng is one less root per use, and all the major pharmacies treat it as a treasure. The one I bought before was from the black market, and it's hard to get it now."
Wang Tiedan lied without hesitation, so he had to increase the scarcity of the bait.
Secretary Zhao had no doubts either.
"Hey, I understand. Just use it as long as you can. Things will get better in the future."
Secretary Zhao didn't stay long and left in a hurry.
The matter is not over yet, the person who leaked the information has not been found out yet. In his words, Mujiatun cannot keep people who are disloyal.
Wang Tiedan and the other two continued drilling holes and fishing. After only a short while, they caught quite a few fish. They couldn't help but use the spiritual spring water.
This fully confirms an old saying: it is easy to live in luxury but difficult to live in frugality.
Eat, sleep, bask in the sun, go fishing when nothing is done, and watch hunters train dogs.
The air in the mountains is good, so the three of them couldn't help but plan to stay for two more days.
But on the morning of the third day, just as the rooster crowed, a familiar yet unexpected figure appeared in Dawang Village—Xu Damao.
The story begins from the day he came back.
He had previously bought a course of medicine from Wang Tiedan, but because there was no packaging box, he paid the money and only got a wax pill.
Xu Damao thought that if he had the medicine, he had to use it and cash it in as soon as possible to help him rise.
He vaguely remembered that when he was serving drinks, he heard a visiting city government leader complain about the condition of the elderly in his family. The symptoms were similar to those of Alzheimer's disease, and Xu Damao took it to heart.
So, that afternoon, he went to a pharmacy, imitated Wang Tiedan's magic medicine, made an exquisite package, and then went directly to visit the city leader's home.
He is not a high-ranking official. He is a member of a department of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and at the deputy division level. He lives in the Municipal Party Committee compound, so it is easy to find him.
Xu Damao is also smart. If he gives a normal gift, people will definitely not accept it.
He took advantage of the fact that no one was around and went over, bringing some local specialties to the door. With his sweet talk, he won over the deputy director's lover in one fell swoop, and everything went smoothly after that.
I took the medicine and fed it to the old man. At that time, his mind regained a little clarity and he could at least recognize two people.
There is no filial son for a patient who has been ill for a long time, and what's more, I am so happy that the deputy director's wife has been taking care of the old man at home.
Xu Damao was also very excited. He never expected that the medicine would really work.
After that, the deputy director came back in a hurry. While expressing his gratitude, he asked Xu Damao to help buy medicine, no matter how much it cost.
Xu Damao agreed readily and just waited for Wang Tiedan to come back.
But how things turned out was completely beyond his imagination. The old man had many comrades-in-arms. After hearing that he was better, they came to visit him. Then the word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and more and more people came to ask for medicine.
In just two days, more than a dozen people went to the steel mill specifically to look for Xu Damao, and most of them drove military vehicles.
The matter became a big deal in an instant.
It’s hard for Xu Damao to say that he bought it from Wang Tiedan. If everything went to Wang Tiedan, then he has nothing to do with it.
So he gritted his teeth and rushed to Dawang Village overnight.
Fortunately, Xu Damao had been going to the countryside to show movies all year round, so he had already practiced it. Ten hours was no problem at all.
Wang Tiedan set out at around four or five in the afternoon and arrived almost at noon, while Xu Damao set out after dark and arrived early in the morning. The difference in strength is obvious.
When the villagers heard that the person was looking for Wang Tiedan, they enthusiastically led him to Wang Tiedan's home.
Wang Tiedan was having a sweet dream when he was ruthlessly pulled up by his mother.
"Tiedan, get up, someone is looking for you."
Wang Tiedan looked up and saw Xu Damao's horse face, then lay down again. He could see Xu Damao in Dawang Village, so he must be dreaming.
"Brother Tiedan, get up quickly, it's urgent!" Xu Damao was blown by the wind all the way and his face turned red.
"Xu Damao, you dare to disturb my sleep in my dream, I will really beat you!"
Mother Hu Yulan and Xu Damao were both stunned. What are you dreaming about? Are you still asleep?
