Chapter 1969: Chapter 1957: Herbal Medicine Business (Part 2)

He doesn’t lack funds right now. Not only does he have his tourist spot, but his farms, wild mushrooms, and pharmaceutical factory bring him significant daily income.

Although Niu Ming is doing well, there’s still a difference between them.

So Chen Yang is not hopeful about the business that Niu Ming mentioned.

He was about to refuse.

Unexpectedly, He Xiran seized the opportunity and answered for him.

"Sure, Chen Yang and I will come over right away. Just wait a moment." He Xiran replied with a cheeky smile.

"Hmm? Who is this? Okay, I’ll wait for you guys then."

Niu Ming was surprised to hear a stranger’s voice on the phone, but then thought about how Chen Yang always had girls around him, so he didn’t bother asking further.

After agreeing, he hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the dial tone in the phone and looking at He Xiran’s cheerful expression, Chen Yang found it both funny and exasperating.

"Why did you agree on my behalf?" Chen Yang asked helplessly.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to eat? Also, your friend said there’s a business opportunity to cooperate on, so of course I helped you agree." He Xiran said earnestly.

"Alright, alright, we don’t have a place to eat anyway. We should head over so people don’t wait too long. Besides, the uncle and others have been thinking of doing some business lately to supplement funds. Going to check it out shouldn’t be a problem." He Xiran was determined to delay returning.

Even though she didn’t know Niu Ming or the nature of the business, she dragged Chen Yang along.

Chen Yang understood her intentions, but since he had agreed, he had no choice but to go along.

It had indeed been a while since he’d seen Niu Ming.

"You little rascal."

Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, carrying things as he walked with her.

They went to the car, and then he took her to Niu Ming’s Wild Mountain Bull Restaurant.

He hadn’t come to this place for quite some time, and the scene looked brand new.

Clearly, the business was getting bigger, and the place had been renovated again.

It was very luxurious, and the restaurant area had expanded significantly. The two residential houses next to it had also been contracted by Niu Ming, becoming part of the Wild Mountain Bull Restaurant.

After parking the car, they got out.

He Xiran looked at the large restaurant situated beside the country road, her mouth forming an ’O’ shape.

"Wow, such a big restaurant in the countryside, it’s as luxurious as the big hotels in the city." He Xiran exclaimed.

Chen Yang chuckled, "It’s a specialty restaurant; it’s different from city hotels."

"Specialty restaurant? Does that mean they have signature dishes here?" He Xiran instantly turned into a little foodie.

"Yes, you could say that." Chen Yang nodded.

"Haha, seems like I made the right decision to agree, otherwise we would have missed out on a great meal." He Xiran was getting a bit impatient.

"Hey, Yang Zi, you’re here."

At this moment, Niu Ming walked out of the shop and saw Chen Yang.

After not seeing each other for some time, Niu Ming had changed quite a bit.

Wearing a suit, his face had become more prosperous, exuding the vibe of a small business owner.

"Come in and take a seat, the food and private room are ready, just waiting for you." Niu Ming cheerfully invited Chen Yang and He Xiran into the restaurant.

On the way into the restaurant, Chen Yang introduced He Xiran to him.

Niu Ming was used to it by now.

The women around Chen Yang weren’t ordinary in terms of looks.

After some cheerful greetings, they all went to the private room on the second floor.

At the private room door, Niu Ming didn’t rush in but pulled Chen Yang aside and said, "Yang Zi, the business I’m introducing to you is no small deal. If it works out, you have to treat me to a good drink."

Initially, Chen Yang wasn’t very interested in the business, but since he was there, he needed to understand it clearly.

"Oh? Then tell me, how big is this business?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"Yeah Niu, I’ve been thinking of doing some business recently too. If it’s not suitable for Chen Yang, maybe I could take a crack at it." He Xiran sweetly chimed in.

"Missy, I don’t think you’ll be able to do this kind of business." Niu Ming said bluntly.

"Why not?"

He Xiran asked, puzzled.

"Because this business involves medicinal herbs, and you probably don’t have the knowledge in this area." Niu Ming explained.

"Medicinal herbs? That’s true." He Xiran nodded.

Though she could familiarize herself with other things, she really had no clue about the medicinal herbs business and couldn’t really take it on.

But Chen Yang was different.

He himself graduated from medical school, and there’s a pharmaceutical factory right in Liuhe Village, which fits perfectly.

"Regarding medicinal herbs? Niu Ming, how did you get into this area?" Chen Yang was surprised, not expecting it to be about this.

"Hehe, I’ve made a bit of money recently, and have met some bosses in this field. After learning about it, I think this business suits you well, so I specifically helped arrange this meeting for you. If it works out, it’s great; if not, we’ll just have a meal." Niu Ming said with a smile.

"Alright."

Chen Yang nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let’s go in, they’re waiting in the private room for quite a while now." Niu Ming nodded, then opened the private room door and walked in with Chen Yang.

Entering the private room, they immediately saw two middle-aged men dressed similarly to Niu Ming.

In front of the middle-aged men were two black briefcases, obviously business representatives.

"Haha, President Qi, Manager Wu, sorry for keeping you waiting."

Niu Ming said.

The two middle-aged men immediately stood up smiling upon seeing them.

"No worries, Boss Niu, we just waited a little while." The pudgier middle-aged man replied joyfully, and then immediately looked at Chen Yang and He Xiran beside Niu Ming, asking: "And who are these two?"

"Let me introduce, this is the brother I mentioned to you, Chen Yang. He owns a pharmaceutical factory, and collaborating with you is perfect." Niu Ming introduced immediately.

"Oh! You must be Boss Chen. Nice to meet you. I’ve heard from Boss Niu about your achievements at a young age, and seeing you today, you truly stand out." The pudgier middle-aged man spoke politely and promptly shook hands with Chen Yang.

After a brief and friendly mutual acquaintance, they got to know each other.

The pudgier middle-aged man’s name was Qi Zhengwei, and the slimmer one was Wu Jun.

Both were small business owners from a town about twenty kilometers away.

They ran a small medicinal herb procurement factory, making a living by selling herbs.

Once acquainted, everyone settled in to sit.

Since Niu Ming was the intermediary, he sat in the middle.

Chen Yang and He Xiran sat on the left, while Qi Zhengwei and Wu Jun sat on the right. After sitting down, they didn’t rush to negotiate.

They first had a couple of drinks, warmed up, and then officially began negotiations.

Chen Yang was quite interested in this medicinal herb business.

Many of the home industries had expanded recently, except the pharmaceutical factory, which remained unchanged despite being the most profitable.

Not due to lack of capability, but because there weren’t many sources for raw medicinal herbs.

He had the manpower, funds, and equipment, but couldn’t source enough raw medicinal herbs for production, hence couldn’t expand.

And these two men were just in the herb sales business, coincidentally matching Chen Yang’s needs.

So Chen Yang had quite high expectations for their cooperation.

"President Qi, how large is your pharmaceutical factory? How much herbs can you procure daily?" Chen Yang asked first about the situation.

"Boss Chen, don’t underestimate our factory. As far as herbs are concerned, you can rest assured we can provide them to your satisfaction." President Qi said confidently, patting his chest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Seeing his demeanor, Chen Yang was curious.

How much herbs does this factory supply daily to warrant such confidence?

"Is that so? So it seems President Qi, your factory has an extensive acceptance range, procuring a large amount of herbs daily." Chen Yang remarked with a smile.

"Oh, Boss Chen, you exaggerate. We may not have great abilities, but after working for many years, we’ve naturally built many connections and a reputation locally. Many prefer bringing their herbs to our factory when they have them." President Qi humbly answered with a smile.
