Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 719 Knight's Medal (1/2)
Victor simply signed a contract with Jiapigou Shanhuo Store and ordered 5,000 bottles of tiger bone wine.
In fact, he wanted to buy more, but Liu Qingshan didn't agree: As the market in the United States gradually opens, there is no need to worry about selling this thing. The more it is sold later, the higher the price will be. Of course, there is no rush to ship it.
Liu Qingshan has been waiting for this batch of tiger bone wine for three years. The original purchase price was extremely cheap, only a few yuan per bottle.
Today it is sold to Victor for forty dollars per bottle.
This price difference made Lao Zhou and others who knew the details stunned: This is not a deposit of medicinal wine, it is simply a deposit of gold.
With this single transaction, Jiapigou Mountain Goods Store could directly receive 200,000 US dollars, which made the people from the law enforcement brigade who witnessed all this so greedy that they almost cried out.
Liu Qingshan could also see what they were thinking, and he didn't mind being a favor. After all, the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager, so he still had to maintain a good relationship, so he directly said to the person in charge:
"We don't need U.S. dollars in our store. The money will be transferred to the industrial and commercial bureau in the district, and then converted into Chinese currency, and then paid to our store."
When the people from the law enforcement brigade heard this, they thought this was a piece of pie in the sky and nodded in agreement.
They never dreamed that such an ordinary store could earn foreign exchange through exports, and that it would be counted as their share.
In this way, the bonuses and performance at the end of the year are all stable.
A store with such potential must be worshiped like a Bodhisattva from now on.
The people from the law enforcement brigade left happily, leaving only a group of stunned people.
The public's eyes are also sharp, and they can see the bargain here: the retail price of this kind of tiger bone wine here is lower than the export price.
So some elderly people took the initiative, especially when it was cloudy and rainy, and their joints were sore and numb, so they secretly paid for a bottle.
At this time, people generally believe that goods that can be exported must be good. Otherwise, would foreigners be able to pay for them?
Therefore, those products that are labeled as being exported to domestic sales sell particularly well.
As the number of customers paying money gradually increased, the sales assistants also became busy.
These girls from the countryside are as diligent as the others. They are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but they are afraid of not being able to sell their goods.
Seeing that the mountain goods store was gradually getting back on track, Liu Qingshan was about to lead his master and Victor to the lounge upstairs to drink tea, when he saw an old man with white hair and silver beard walking over and politely greeted him. The mute grandpa cupped his hand.
The mute grandpa also returned the gift with his hand, made a few gestures with his hand, and asked Liu Qingshan to help translate.
Liu Qingshan had just noticed this old man. Because of his attire, he looked like he was not an ordinary person. He had been wandering around the store for a long time.
He saw the master's gesture and was slightly startled, but he still said to the other party:
"This old gentleman, my master cannot speak. He means that we are all colleagues, so you are welcome."
"It's easy to talk about."
The old man nodded cheerfully. He looked to be over seventy years old, but he had a rosy complexion, and with his white hair and silver beard, he had the look of a young boy with white hair.
He calmly spoke again: "My name is Le Songwen, and he is responsible for purchasing at Tongrentang. I just saw that your store's Changbai ginseng, deer antler and other medicinal materials are very authentic, so I would like to discuss cooperation."
Liu Qingshan was also quite surprised. Tongrentang was a well-known brand name. Together with Hu Qingyutang in the south, it was known as the leader among the northern and southern medicine halls.
Just these eight words, "fellow cultivators of benevolence, benefiting the world and maintaining health" are worthy of respect.
This old gentleman is worthy of being Tong Ren Tang’s purchasing master. He has really good taste. The medicinal materials produced in Jiapigou are of course good.
After hearing this, the mute grandpa's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he continued to make gestures with his hands.
Liu Qingshan helped the master translate: "Old sir, you are from Tongrentang Lejia, so may I ask what your relationship is with Le Songsheng?"
The old man couldn't help but change his expression, and then waved his hands sadly: "It's just a disgrace to our descendants. I really feel unworthy of our ancestors."
"But since this old gentleman knows my cousin's name, he must be an old friend. Alas, my cousin has passed away long ago."
Liu Qingshan thought about it and roughly understood that the experiences of time-honored brands like Tong Ren Tang were basically the same.
First, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it became a public-private partnership, and finally it became a state-owned unit. During the chaotic period, it was good to be able to save one's life.
After hearing this, the mute grandpa couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Not everyone can control these things.
Fortunately, the mute grandpa had already looked past all this, let go as soon as possible, and was happy to be at ease in the mountains and forests. Who can say clearly the gains and losses involved.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Liu Qingshan quickly said: "Mr. Le, to be honest, we also have a pharmaceutical factory in Jiapigou, so these medicinal materials are mainly retail."
"Even if it can be supplied, the quantity will not be too large. I hope you can understand."
"Jiapi Gou Pharmaceutical Factory?" Le Songwen looked thoughtful, and then his eyes widened: "Oh, it's Jiapigou Pharmaceutical Factory. I've heard about it in the past two years. The quick-acting cold tablets you produce are very innovative. !”
The pharmaceutical industry, especially traditional Chinese medicine, is very particular about historical inheritance.
Because only through accumulation from generation to generation can we have more perfect prescriptions and the medicine hall can grow step by step.
This is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it requires the joint efforts of several generations.
Just like Tongren Lejia, it took more than ten generations of accumulation to reach such a scale, but it was in the midst of changes in the times and could not help itself.
Being in the industry, Le Songwen had of course heard of Jiapigou Pharmaceutical Factory and even read about it in the newspaper.
He thought about it for a moment, and then suddenly bowed and saluted the mute grandfather: "It turns out to be Senior Sun, disrespectful and disrespectful."
Le Songwen finally remembered the identity of this mute old man, who was actually a descendant of the lineage of the King of Medicine.
Although the other party is not older than him, the signature of Medicine King is there, and anyone in this field must be respected.
The mute grandpa didn't care much about this. He waved his hand and made a few more gestures, indicating that Le Songwen could choose any of the medicines in the mountain store.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Le Songwen's face: "We recently ordered a batch of medicine for someone, and we need old wild ginseng, but..."
Of course Liu Qingshan knew what he was struggling with, so he smiled and said: "Old sir, the price is easy to negotiate. I filled in the price above casually to avoid interruption by outsiders."
So that's it, Le Songwen smiled and nodded: "We don't dare to hope for that century-old wild ginseng. Just choose one of the two next to it."
He was talking about the two pieces from the 1950s and 1960s, and Liu Qingshan also casually filled in two million.
But the mute grandpa also said just now that only by making the best use of things can the true value be reflected.
Liu Qingshan directly put a zero on the back, and Le Songwen accepted it happily, and then purchased some deer antler slices and two bottles of tiger bone wine.
This wine is obviously not meant to be consumed back home. Tongrentang also produces authentic tiger bone wine, and has always had a very good reputation.
Le Songwen also witnessed Victor signing the contract just now. He was a little confused as to how this tiger bone wine could be sold at such an expensive price, so he planned to go back to study and compare.
Of course, Gu Liu Qingshan guessed the other party's thoughts, but he did not reveal it. On the contrary, he wanted to cooperate with the other party.
After all, the development of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be supported by Jiapigou alone. It requires the concerted efforts of the entire industry.
Just like Tongrentang, the channels and connections it has are not comparable to those of the current Jiapigou Pharmaceutical Factory.
It's just that although Tongrentang is still a time-honored brand, it has actually become a state-owned unit with a rigid system.
Unlike new forces like Jiapigou Pharmaceutical Factory, which are full of vitality and have an unlimited future.
After seeing Mr. Le off, Liu Qingshan invited everyone to go upstairs to rest.
There is an antique rest room upstairs, which is filled with old furniture from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It is a place specially used for resting and discussing large-scale business.
After pouring herbal tea and drinking a cup, Victor smiled and took out a few books from the briefcase he was carrying and placed them in front of Liu Qingshan:
"Liu, I only brought a few sample books this time. If you still need them, I will mail them to you."
Liu Qingshan picked up a book. The cover was very simple: a few snow-white sheep, a young shepherd, and several pyramids dimly visible in the distance.
The title of the book is: The Fantasy Journey of the Shepherd Boy.
The author is still jointly signed by Victor and Liuqingshan.
Liu Qingshan gently stroked the book cover with his hand: "Victor, how is the sales of this book?"
This was last winter, when Liu Qingshan was in the United States, Victor called every day, urging Liu Qingshan to help him get a new book.
Later, Liu Qingshan couldn't bear the harassment from this guy, so he had to tell a story about a shepherd boy:
A young shepherd boy had the same dream twice in a row. He dreamed that there was a treasure buried under the pyramids in Africa.
So the young man embarked on a journey to find the treasure. During the journey, the young man also understood what his real treasure was.
This is an inspirational story about growth and dreams. When it was later published in the United States, the cover had this promotional slogan:
This is a book that completely changes a person's life, and it may only come out in decades.
This evaluation is simply not too high.
Victor deliberately pretended to be serious, smiled without saying a word, took out two small boxes from his bag, and then pushed one of them in front of Liu Qingshan.
He slowly opened the box in front of him, took out something from it, kissed it affectionately, and then put it on his chest with a serious face.
His companions around him all cast envious glances.
Liu Qingshan could only tell that it was a medal, but his understanding of these was limited, so he looked up at Victor, hoping that the other party could explain it to him.
Leo, who was drinking tea on the side, couldn't hold back: "Liu, this is our country's knighthood. It rewards citizens who have made outstanding contributions to the country. Of course, it also includes foreign citizens."
"However, when it is awarded to foreign friends, it must be nominated by the foreign minister and signed by the president personally."
It turned out to be a knighthood. Only then did Liu Qingshan understand. He remembered that several Chinese people had received this honor later.
People like Yu Hua, who created "Alive", have all received this medal.
By the way, Liu Qingshan remembered that Yu Hua should be working on this novel now. Well, this year's Jiapigou Literary Award has also been won.
After putting on the medal, a bright smile appeared on Victor's face: "Liu, thank you. It was this novel that allowed me to be recognized by mainstream literature."
"This knighthood medal is the best proof."
Unlike the books The Big Ship and The Code, the novel The Alchemist received very high praise from the mainstream media.
In fact, after the book was published, it quickly became popular around the world, selling well in more than 160 countries, with global sales exceeding 50 million copies.
"Congratulations, Victor."
Liu Qingshan was also really happy for his old friend. Of course, the Knight's Medal is half yours and half mine.
Victor laughed and finally showed a greedy smile on his face: "Liu, now we have both fame and fortune."
This is the Victor that Liu Qingshan is familiar with. He saw this guy took out three checks from his briefcase like a treasure chest and placed them side by side in front of Liu Qingshan.
So many?
Liu Qingshan was also a little puzzled: How did he get three checks? Is it because the amount is too large and there is a limit on the amount of checks?
But he looked at the numbers on them and felt that they were not too exaggerated: one for 500,000 US dollars, one for 300,000 US dollars, and another for 2 million US dollars.
He looked up at Victor again and continued to wait for his explanation. wAp.
Victor picked up the note with the largest denomination: "Liu, this one belongs to you."
Then he picked up the note with 500,000 yuan: "This one belongs to Wang, the author of "Ordinary World."
Finally, the third note: "This one belongs to Gao, your sister's husband."
Liu Qingshan then realized that it was the works of Lu and his elder brother-in-law, which were published and sold overseas and made some money.
From the amount, it sold quite well, especially Lu's books.
You know, this kind of work, unlike those popular novels, has a larger audience.
Especially when selling abroad, readers in many countries do not understand the historical background, so it is more difficult to sell.
It seems that Victor has really helped a lot in this regard.
"Victor, let me thank you on their behalf first. When you go to our Jiapigou, I will ask those two to toast you."
Liu Qingshan patted Victor's shoulder affectionately and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Victor shrugged: "It's not over yet, Liu. That book World of Plainness is very popular, so I have asked someone to help me send it to the Nobel Prize for Literature jury and it has been nominated."
"As for whether it can win the prize, in your words, just leave it to God."
"You mean to leave it to fate, right?" Liu Qingshan helped Victor popularize Chinese, and then he remembered something and stood up suddenly:
"What, you said "Ordinary World" was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature?"
Victor seemed calm: "Liu, please stay calm, that book should have been treated like this, and the only thing missing from winning the prize is a group of good translators, isn't it?"

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.
Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fur had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie and weirdness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.
There, a figure was lying.
This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.
