Chapter 1109 - 1070: I Agree
Today is a gathering, not quite suitable for discussing work.Lin Jie temporarily set aside Anlin Pharmaceutical and the matter of the Body Trauma Recovery Accelerator rights, and introduced Bi Baodong to a few others. The group then sat around the tea table by the floor-to-ceiling window, sipping tea and chatting.
The tea at home all came from Zhai Siying's tea house, naturally all top-quality tea leaves.
Lin Jie's tea-making skills had improved under the occasional guidance of An Kexin, at least the tea brewed from tea leaves worth tens of thousands per pound now tasted like those worth a few hundred per pound.
In terms of tea-making skills, Yao Henan was quite talented, though.
Even though her practice time wasn't long, her skill level was at least a notch above Lin Jie's, able to brew tea leaves worth tens of thousands to a level worth several thousand.
During the casual chat, Lin Jie took a sip of Yao Henan's tea and asked, "Which of your families is hoarding ginseng in the Northeast?"
Zhou Ziyan replied softly, "Teacher, our Jian'an Hall has established long-term relationships with several ginseng farms in the Northeast. All the ginseng used for the past ten years has come from them."
"However, considering that the demand for ginseng will greatly increase in coming years, our family has already sent people to the Northeast to purchase and store a batch."
Cai Yun also spoke up: "We also have people in the Northeast, and on the nearby peninsula, buying ginseng."
Lin Jie gave a light "oh" and pointed at Bi Baodong: "He's quite a local bigwig in the Northeast, familiar with connections all around, and he's preparing to get into ginseng cultivation."
"In the future, regarding ginseng and the procurement of some medicinal herbs from the Northeast, you all can exchange more ideas."
"Definitely, definitely!" Zhou Ziyan and Cai Yun both replied with smiles.
Everyone present was aware that although the price per unit of ginseng is high, in essence, it is still considered a basic product and raw material.
Compared to the market pricing for cancer treatment inducers and Trauma Recovery Accelerators, it's really nothing.
When it comes to the procurement of raw materials, sharing some profit with Lin Jie's friends is not a big deal.
Bi Baodong, on the other hand, couldn't stop smiling with joy.
Once the ginseng farms are settled, collaborating with pharmaceutical companies will provide a steady stream of income, opening up another source of revenue for the Bi Family.
This is much more reassuring than sudden income bursts.
During a casual exchange, Cai Yun said, "Expert Lin, there are already rumors in the Binhai Medical Community that you are planning to host a medical salon. Many in the medical field are eagerly looking forward to it."
"Expert Lin, about this medical salon?"
Lin Jie sighed slightly: "To be honest, I bid on Qushui Garden a while ago intending to build a private club to host the salon."
"I just overestimated my abilities, couldn't win the bid, and haven't found a suitable location since."
"Moreover, I've been quite busy lately, so the matter of the medical salon is on hold for now."
Fu Xiuyuan expressed some indignation: "Blame Li Ao'ge for being unscrupulous, saying one thing and doing another, claiming he would only bid at the base price but ending up bidding high."
Having received thirty million in benefits from Four Seas Bank, Lin Jie waved it off and said: "Well, they have the luxury to be capricious with their money. Let's not talk about this anymore. But do keep an eye out for me if you see any suitable places for sale or rent."
"No problem, we will surely keep an eye out."
Cai Yun responded and then asked, "Expert Lin, do you have any contact with that professor from the Swedish Medical College?"
Lin Jie had already started collaborating with Skeller, naturally giving up pursuing the risky venture for the sake of securing Nobel Prize judges.
He shook his head and explained: "Reaching out hastily might raise suspicion on the other side."
"Moreover, the risk involved in malignant tumor treatment is quite high."
"If an unexpected situation arises, it could backfire. After careful consideration, I decided to give up on this opportunity."
"Expert Lin's concerns are indeed based on reality!"
Cai Yun concurred and persuaded: "It's just that such opportunities are really scarce."
"Expert Lin, our Zhengda Pharmaceutical also has friends in the pharmaceutical industry in Sweden; maybe we could pass some information through them to that professor?"
"That professor is an insider too and naturally understands that successful cancer treatments happen at very low probabilities."
"In these matters, success is the miracle; failure is the norm."
"He shouldn't think ill of you, Expert Lin, for a failed treatment."
Lin Jie smiled noncommittally and said, "We'll see about that."
"Right now, with ongoing research projects, patients, and Anlin Hospital opening soon, there are really too many things to handle at once."
"Currently, there isn't enough energy to worry about other concerns."
Seeing Lin Jie's stance, Cai Yun sighed regretfully and dropped the topic.
As time passed, Yao Siyuan and Chen Qiuhua arrived one after another.
Due to a film project starting, Du Feixue and Yu Momo didn't have time to join today's gathering.
Near six in the evening, Lin Miao, Ling Mengjiao, and Zou Manqing also arrived together.
They also dragged along Xiao Ganghao.
Xiao Ganghao came up to Lin Jie, scratching his head, and explained softly, "Teacher, I was actually dragged here by Manqing."
Zou Manqing also came up to Lin Jie, gave Xiao Ganghao an annoyed look, and chuckled, "Lin Jie, delivering invitations is naturally more sincere when both come together."
"Here, brother-in-law, here's a wedding invitation for you, on the second day of next month's Dragon Boat Festival holiday!"
"Make sure to bring a big red envelope!"
