“Battle Brothers, can this really work?” After several days of harvesting, some selected individuals were processing the medicinal herbs here according to Zhan Lingfeng's techniques. Watching the herbs turn into powder, everyone was somewhat confused and worried.
“How much have we produced so far?” Zhan Lingfeng asked.
“We don't have much else here, but we have a lot of Celestial Silver Flower. The whole village went out to harvest, and we’ve produced fifty bags so far, each weighing about a thousand kilograms. If we give it more time, we can produce even more. The only concern is whether we can sell it,” Ning Zhishan replied uncertainly.
Zhan Lingfeng thought for a moment and said, “Here’s the plan: you send fifty people to set off now and carry it to Countryside. I’ll also head out. Once I get to Countryside, I’ll set up a storage facility. Once we gather a hundred bags, I’ll look for a market.”
“Alright, we’ll arrange it immediately.”
“Okay, I’ll move quickly; I can reach there in a day. After I set up the storage, you can contact me when your people arrive in Countryside.”
After speaking, Zhan Lingfeng shouldered a bag of medicinal powder and left for Countryside.
Zhan Lingfeng found it somewhat amusing; the people here were genuinely strong, carrying a ton of weight was not difficult for them at all.
In fact, Zhan Lingfeng realized he had become even more powerful. After spending time in the Immortal Realm, his cultivation level rose rapidly due to absorbing the abundant energy here, even without actively training. Every day, several new planets would appear in his Starry World, and he didn’t even understand why his growth was so fast.
“Hello, Director.”
Upon entering the office, Zhan Lingfeng greeted Fu Weiwei.
Looking at Zhan Lingfeng, Fu Weiwei frowned and said, “Xing, why are you back so soon? You just left a few days ago.”
Zhan Lingfeng replied, “We took on a project and have returned to apply for some assistance from Countryside.”
“Oh?”
A middle-aged man sitting inside looked at Zhan Lingfeng, showing interest.
Fu Weiwei said, “This is Royal Society Secretary Huang Tongcheng.”
“Hello, Secretary Huang!”
Zhan Lingfeng respectfully said.
"No need for formalities, can you tell us what your project is?"
"It's like this, our village is filled with Celestial Silver Flower, so we established a Wangduan Mountain Herbal Medicine Company to engage in the herbal medicine business. If we do well, the entire village's mission will be considered accomplished."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression turned grim. Fu Weiwei said, "Xing, we all know about the Celestial Silver Flower, and it's not that no one wants to engage in this business. It's just that if the Celestial Silver Flower is not processed within ten days of being picked, it basically loses its medicinal properties. So, even if there are many Celestial Silver Flowers, it won't matter."
Another young man in the office said, "Zhan Lingfeng, you really dare to dream. True, Celestial Silver Flower has a great market; many medicines require its inclusion, and there are several preservation methods. However, large-scale utilization is impossible."
Zhan Lingfeng smiled and said, "I just happened to invent a preservation method. After applying my technique and turning the Celestial Silver Flower into powder, it can be preserved not just for ten or twenty days but even for a year without any issues."
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback and looked at Zhan Lingfeng.
Zhan Lingfeng pointed to the door and said, "Well, I brought back a bag; you can have someone test it to see if what I said is true."
Huang Tongcheng rushed to the door immediately, had the bag opened, looked at the herbal powder, and quickly said, "Get someone to test it."
Zhan Lingfeng remained silent while everyone conducted the tests.
The Countryside had instruments for this purpose. After conducting various tests from the Ming Dynasty, the person in charge of testing excitedly reported, "It really has medicinal properties, and there is no loss of efficacy."
Huang Tongcheng slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Xing, you did well!"
In fact, Huang Tongcheng was under considerable pressure himself. He had just been transferred here for work; the last incident had removed the entire leadership of Countryside. The higher-ups had issued strict orders regarding economic development with clear targets. If he couldn't achieve results, his position would be at risk. Therefore, he had been researching tirelessly recently, but no one could come up with a good solution until Zhan Lingfeng unexpectedly proposed this project. He could fully envision its potential.
Fu Weiwei was also excited and said, "Leader, we have plenty of Celestial Silver Flower in our Countryside. This is a vast market!"
Huang Tongcheng looked at Zhan Lingfeng and asked, "What kind of help do you need?"
"First, we lack funding and a venue; we need help from Countryside."
"This matter is completely fine. How about this: you move the herbal medicine company to Countryside, so that we can have unified command. The patent is yours anyway; you can authorize each village to produce the medicine and then send it to your company in Countryside for unified sales. This is an industry. As for funding, Countryside is also facing difficulties, so we will allocate one hundred thousand to you for now. How does that sound?"
"We just need some startup capital; one hundred thousand is enough. We will pay it back to Countryside once we start making money."
"I suggest adjusting the shareholding of your company. Currently, it is managed uniformly by Countryside, and you don’t need to adjust your fifty-one percent stake. However, the forty-nine percent from the villages cannot be handled this way; Countryside will manage those forty-nine percent. This is better for everyone. As for the profits from Wangduan Mountain Village, they can simply earn from sales. Xiaofu will coordinate this matter."
Zhan Lingfeng didn’t care much about these issues as long as his interests were not affected. He nodded and said, "I’ll listen to the leadership, but we still need to lean a bit towards the villagers of Wangduan Mountain."
"Well, this matter will be considered uniformly by Countryside. Don't worry; with this project, the entire township will be able to develop. What’s the second thing you want to discuss?"
"The second thing is about pricing. To be honest, I’m not very clear about pricing."
At this moment, the official who came to inspect said, "The demand for Celestial Silver Flower is very high, but it has always been difficult to solve the shelf life of its Medicinal Properties. Therefore, one pound of Celestial Silver Flower is priced around one hundred Xianjue. These medicinal powders are even more in demand; selling one pound for five hundred Celestial Crystals is completely feasible. I just asked several Pharmaceutical Companies, and they are all buying without limits."
"Are you saying that as long as we deliver the medicine, we can exchange it for money?" Zhan Lingfeng's eyes lit up; this market potential was enormous.
"Yes, actually the Pharmaceutical Companies also need to process it into medicinal powder. Your powders save them a step in their process and are easier to sell."
At this moment, everyone’s eyes brightened. Huang Tongcheng said, "Alright, let’s sell it at five hundred Celestial Crystals per pound."
Zhan Lingfeng calculated in his mind and suddenly felt a jolt; one thousand kilograms per bag would amount to five hundred thousand? One hundred bags...
