Chapter 203: Grabbing Medicine 2
“As long as it’s useful!”
Li Huaide also knew that Xu Damao would not dare to lie to him, so he packed the medicine and put it in the drawer.
"Da Mao, how much is this medicine?"
"How can I ask you for money? Consider it my filial piety to you." Xu Damao stood up hurriedly, feeling both painful and happy.
Li Huaide's face turned stern.
"Don't you know what kind of person I am, Li Huaide? How much is it? Tell me the truth."
"Director Li, one hundred, one hundred is enough." Xu Damao really wanted to give a gift and didn't dare to ask for more.
Li Huaide also understood what Xu Damao meant. He took out a stack of money and a stack of bills from the drawer, at least several hundred dollars. Without counting, he put them directly into an envelope and handed it to Xu Damao.
"I estimate that this medicine will cost four or five hundred yuan, which is no less than the original amount. I, Li Huaide, will never criticize my own people. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."
Xu Damao didn't dare to refuse this time. They were already family, and it would be too formal to refuse again.
Li Huaide was also very satisfied with Xu Damao. He leaned back in his chair and continued to ask, "Do you have any more of this medicine? Many people came here to ask for medicine before, and one dose is not enough."
"Yes, there are ten boxes of medicine for ten courses of treatment in total. We still have eight courses left. The old doctor said that one course of treatment can basically cure the disease."
Xu Damao secretly stole three boxes. Such a good thing must be kept in his hands. Maybe it is a family heirloom.
"Eight boxes?"
Li Huaide immediately started to think about it, but after a while he shook his head.
"Eight boxes may not be enough. Over ten people have come to ask for medicine in the past two days. There will probably be more in the future. Do you have any more, old doctor?"
"There are only about ten boxes in total. I begged for them all. Now I'm afraid they are out of stock. The old doctor asked me to help buy wild ginseng yesterday. It must be hundreds of years old. There are also Polygonum multiflorum and Ganoderma lucidum. I was thinking of going back to the pharmacy in the city to ask for them."
"Hundreds of years?"
Li Huaide estimated the value of the medicine in an instant, and it was almost the same as he had guessed.
"If we get wild ginseng and other traditional Chinese medicines, how long will it take to make the medicine?"
"I forgot to ask this. It shouldn't take much time."
Xu Damao found it a bit absurd when he thought of the scene of Wang Tiedan, Shouhou and Dahan squeezed in a small hut to make medicine.
"Remember to ask clearly next time you go there."
"Yes."
"Then I'll call now. Prepare the medicine. I'll ask Xiao Sun to call you later."
"Okay, thank you Director Li for your advice."
Xu Damao was even more surprised at this time. Li Huaide was helping him to get familiar with his network, and the intention of promotion was obvious.
While the two were talking, Director Yang was also asking someone to find Xu Damao.
After knowing that he had entered Li Huaide's office, he became even more anxious. Xu Damao was originally Li Huaide's subordinate. With such a good opportunity to expand his network, Li Huaide would not even give him a chance to drink the water used to wash the pot.
Before Xu Damao left, Li Huaide's secretary hurried in to report that Director Yang was looking for someone everywhere, and if Xu Damao didn't leave, he would probably break into the office.
There are only eight boxes of medicine, and everyone wants one.
With just one look from Li Huaide, Xu Damao understood.
"Director Li, I understand. We are out of medicine. All the orders have been reserved."
The young man is teachable. Li Huaide waved his hand, picked up the phone and started making calls one after another.
Xu Damao also knew what he should do. As soon as he went out, he was stopped by Director Yang's secretary, and the two went to Director Yang's office together.
This was not yet a critical period. Although Director Yang and Li Huaide had already started to compete with each other, they still maintained peace on the surface and were basically in a state of balance.
Of course, Xu Damao didn't dare to offend him to death.
Factory director's office.
Director Yang was much more anxious than Li Huaide. When he saw Xu Damao coming in, he stood up immediately.
"Xu Damao, tell me the truth, do you have any medicine left?"
Xu Damao glanced at Director Yang's secretary, who understood immediately, walked out of the house, turned left and closed the door.
"Director Yang, to tell you the truth, I have another copy for my family. If you need it, I can wait for the next batch of medicine to come out."
Xu Damao had already figured out how to avoid offending Director Yang while leaving enough room for easing the situation.
Director Yang is not stupid either.
“What do you mean by the next batch of medicine?”
"This medicine requires hundred-year-old wild ginseng, as well as Polygonum multiflorum and Ganoderma lucidum. There is no wild ginseng now. I am trying to find a way to buy it. When I find it, I can give it to the old doctor to make medicine."
"How many medicines can be made from a hundred-year-old wild ginseng?"
"I don't know exactly, but for a dozen or so courses, it shouldn't be more than fifteen."
Director Yang frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke slowly.
"Da Mao, I have a leader whose grandfather has been ill for several years and it's really urgent. Please give me your share of the medicine first.
In return, the factory can help you find a century-old wild ginseng, and the money will also be paid by the factory.
You also know that things like hundred-year-old wild ginseng are used to save lives. No one would sell it unless it is absolutely necessary, and it would cost a lot of favors and money.
So I have another condition. The medicine made from this ginseng must be distributed to the factory in ten portions. What do you think?"
How could Xu Damao dare to agree on behalf of Wang Tiedan? Besides, if he really agreed and Li Huaide knew about it, he would think he was two-timing, which was a big taboo!
"Director Yang, I can't make the decision on this matter. The medicine was made by an old Chinese doctor. He just asked me to help buy old mountain ginseng. I don't even know when the next batch of medicine can be made."
"Hey~ Damao, you have to explain it clearly to him. Those who come here to ask for medicine are old revolutionary comrades who have fought for the country all their lives. They have worked hard for the country all their lives. Doctors are kind-hearted. How can we watch them grow old and suffer from illness? Right?
No, take me to see him. I believe this old Chinese doctor will agree."
Xu Damao seemed to see the shadow of Yi Zhonghai and quickly calmed his mind.
"How about I ask first?"
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Go get the medicine. I'll wait for you."
Director Yang was very happy and didn't consider at all the possibility that others might refuse.
As soon as Xu Damao went out, he knew that he had forgotten to say something.
If you ask for medicine, why don't you pay first? Three hundred and sixty is real money, and Wang Tiedan still wants to charge.
Fortunately, the medicine has not been given yet!
As soon as Xu Damao returned to the office, he heard the sound of a car braking.
Soon, two men wearing glasses ran up the stairs quickly and walked past Xu Damao quickly.
Xu Damao did not hesitate. He immediately returned to his workstation, took out the medicine, and went to Li Huaide's office.
As soon as Li Huaide's secretary came out, he walked in with a smile on his face.
Li Huaide was very generous. He introduced Xu Damao to the visitors with a smile. They were all secretaries of certain leaders, the kind with low ranks but great power.
Xu Damao gave the medicine and shook hands cordially.
As for money, no one mentioned it. However, the secretary put down a thick envelope, so Li Huaide must have already negotiated it.
The secretary came and left quickly, so it was inconvenient for Li Huaide to see him off, so he gave the task to Xu Damao's secretary Xiao Sun.
Another chance to spend time together!
It can be said that Li Huaide is absolutely awesome when it comes to being a shoe-carrier.
