Chapter 32 - Intercepted Again
Finally, during lunch, Su Lin received a message from Chen Yang. He and Ye Feng were already on their way back, but they didn’t go back to Zhongjiang. Instead, they went straight to Donghai.
Su Lin calculated the time and estimated that Ye Feng would arrive at Donghai around three or four o’clock. It would be four or five o’clock by the time he finished selling the goods. Zhongjiang was a coastal city, so they would arrive a bit later in the evening, but not too late.
Knowing Ye Feng’s personality, he would probably want to make another trip to earn more money with the funds in his hands. Thinking about this, Su Lin began to plan. Handling the purchase of medicinal herbs alone would be challenging, but with the help of Su Zhenguo, it would be much easier.
“Xiaoyu, after lunch, you go check on Uncle Xia and ask when they plan to schedule the surgery.”
“Alright.”
“Well, I have something to attend to in the afternoon. After I’m done, I’ll go see Uncle Xia.”
Xia Shiyu shook her head, “My dad is not in the right state of mind now. It’s useless for you to go see him. You better focus on your work.” She then helped straighten Su Lin’s collar like a caring wife. “Then… I’m leaving.”
“Do you want me to drive you there?”
Xia Shiyu shook her head. “No, you didn’t drive.”
“Hehe, although I didn’t drive, it doesn’t mean there’s no car I can use to take you there.” Su Lin grabbed Xia Shiyu’s hand decisively and said, “Okay, I’ll take you there.”
They took a taxi and Su Lin dropped Xia Shiyu to the hospital. He left under her reluctant gaze.
As soon as Su Lin returned home, he called Su Zhenguo. He realized that he hadn’t spoken to Su Zhenguo since he came to this world. Fortunately, with the memories of the previous Su Lin, he wouldn’t reveal any flaws.
“Hey, Xiao Lin, how come you have time to call me today? Is it because you don’t have enough money? Dad will send you one hundred thousand.”
Su Lin’s face darkened. Listening to the voice on the phone that sounded like he was coaxing a child, he finally understood why the previous Su Lin had developed such a personality. He was spoiled.
“Dad, you don’t have to give me money. I’m looking for you for serious business.”
“Oh? Proper business? What business?” Su Zhenguo was interested.
Although he and Su Lin didn’t communicate much, every time Su Lin called, it was either because he needed money or wanted to buy something. Today, hearing that Su Lin had something important to discuss made Su Zhenguo curious.
Su Lin replied, “I want to borrow a few men from you.”
“Borrow people? Why do you want to borrow people?” Su Zhenguo asked curiously.
“Well, I heard from my friend’s aunt…”
After hearing Su Lin’s explanation, Su Zhenguo fell into deep thought. He thought that Su Lin’s so-called business was the parent-teacher conference or the teacher looking for him.
Su Zhenguo didn’t expect that Su Lin wanted to do business to make money. After listening to Su Lin’s introduction, Su Zhenguo knew that this was good business. Using the information gap to make money.
‘When did this kid develop a talent for business?’
Su Zhenguo only thought about it for a moment before deciding to let Su Lin try it. He had expanded his business quite extensively now, and Su Lin was his only son. If there was anyone to inherit, it would be Su Lin. So, letting Su Lin get involved in business was not a big deal. Even if he failed, Su Zhenguo could cover for him.
“How many people do you need and how much money?”
“Forget about the money. I have money in my hands. As for the people, I need about three or five, and then I need a car. Dad, you have a logistics company there, right?” Su Lin asked.
“Yes, well, I’ll ask my assistant to call you later and lend him to you for a few days. You can do the rest as you see fit. If you need money, just tell me.” Hearing Su Lin say that he didn’t need money, Su Zhenguo laughed.
How much money could Su Lin have? Even if he saved all the money he gave, it would be very limited. In his view, it was just a small matter, so he directly asked Su Lin to contact his assistant.
Su Lin didn’t know what Su Zhenguo was thinking, but hearing that Su Zhenguo was lending him his assistant, Su Lin was quite happy. With such a person helping him, Su Lin could save a lot of trouble.
Su Zhenguo’s current territory could be said to span half of Jiangnan Province. Li Hongyang could be his dads assistant, so there was no doubt about his ability. With such a person to help him, Su Lin could save a lot of trouble.
After chatting for a while and asking about Su Lin’s recent situation, Su Zhenguo hung up the phone. Around three o’clock, Assistant Li Hongyang and his team rushed over from the company.
When Su Lin informed them about going to the countryside to collect Tianma, Li Hongyang and his team exchanged puzzled glances. They thought it was some kind of joke.
Li Hongyang looked like he was in his thirties, wearing a pair of glasses. Looking at his appearance, he looked gentle, but Su Lin would not be confused by his appearance.
Seeing Li Hongyang’s hesitant look, Su Lin had already guessed his thoughts. He smiled and said, “Brother Yang, I’ll have to trouble you this time.”
Li Hongyang shook his head, “Young Master Su, since the boss asked me to do things for you, there is no trouble. The boss said that it was rare for Young Master Su to do something serious, so he asked me to do what you asked.”
“But I don’t know how much gastrodia you are going to collect, the price, and how much are you going to sell?”
Su Lin smiled and said, “To be honest, I don’t know the purchase price yet, nor how much to collect.”
“Er…”
Li Hongyang and the others were dumbfounded on the spot. Sure enough, the entrepreneurship of a rich second generation was like a joke. Not knowing the purchase price, not knowing how much to buy, not knowing the selling price – it was a classic case of not knowing anything.
But Li Hongyang didn’t intend to remind Su Lin. However, Li Hongyang had no intention of reminding Su Lin. Before leaving, Su Zhenguo had instructed him not to interfere in Su Lin’s affairs and to just follow Su Lin’s instructions. Obviously, Su Zhenguo wanted to see how capable Su Lin was.
Just as they were whispering to each other, Su Lin’s phone rang. Chen Yang has already separated from Ye Feng. Chen Yang was not in the mood to care about the three hundred yuan in his hand, but called Su Lin immediately.
“Hello, Brother Lin.”
“Yangzi, tell me the situation. I have prepared people and money. Tell me the situation.”
“Okay, Brother Lin. After following Ye Feng to Donghai, I found out that there is a medicinal material market here. It doesn’t look big, but it’s a wholesale market with great strength.”
“Ye Feng bought more than fifty kilograms of gastrodia for eight thousand yuan and sold it in less than a minute at a unit price of 280 yuan per catty.”
“Oh? What’s the purchase price?”
“At the time it was 54 yuan.”
Su Lin could hear Chen Yang suppressing his excitement. No wonder. He spent twenty thousand yuan and came back with almost one hundred thousand yuan.
“What’s the demand?”
“A lot, a lot. I don’t know exactly how much it is, but Ye Feng’s gastrodia was bought by others at a fast rate. They didn’t even talk about the price and it was sold directly. Ye Feng just told me that it was a loss.”
“Okay! Yangzi, come back quickly. I will arrange people to go to the countryside to collect from door to door. ”
