Chapter 394 Please have some tea
In the Xiao family's meeting room.
The core members of the family gathered here at this time.
"Boss, why should we be so polite to those people coming from small border countries?" asked the third elder Xiao Li.
"Yes, sir, I have been holding back on this question. Do the people of that small country deserve our politeness?
And that Du Shu, the information I worked so hard to obtain was taken away by him directly!
This Xiao family is our surname Xiao!" Xiao Buyu's younger brother complained in his tone, and he was obviously not happy with these "country people".
Xiao Chuang and Xiao Xuan, who were standing by, were very clear about the situation. Tang Yan could be said to be the benefactor of the entire Xiao family.
However, the details of what happened could not be disclosed. Once the news of Huang Lin leaked out, it would be a fatal blow to the Xiao family.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Mr. Tang and his people may very well become our big customers!"
Xiao Buyu also had a headache. Originally, the topic of discussion at this meeting was how to expand the family's medicinal materials channels, but it turned out that the family members had opinions about Tang Yan and the others first.
"Big customer? How big can it be?" The second elder said with a glare, "The price of medicinal materials in the Northern Spirit Realm is not lower than that in the border countries. They don't want to buy at a high price and then sell at a low price, right?"
The elder was quite dignified in the family. He slapped the table and said, "It's a good meeting. Why are you talking nonsense? The head of the family naturally has his own arrangements. Why are you worrying about it?
You took so many herbs last month. If Young Master Tang hadn't bought them for you, how would you have time to sit here peacefully now?"
"That's a lot of discounts, isn't it? If they offer such discounts to others, why would there be a backlog of goods?" The second elder knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue with Tang Yan, Du Shu and others, but changed the subject:
"We only have so many sales channels. What's the point of looking for channels to import medicinal materials now? We can't sell them even if we stockpile them. If we sell them at a low price, it won't be worth the effort."
"Master, why are you suddenly looking for a purchasing channel? In fact, there are still many channels, but given the situation of our Xiao family, there is really no need to expand the scale." The Great Elder was also a little confused.
Xiao Buyu really wants to be as silent as his name.
If he said that it was Tang Yan who wanted to buy medicine, would these tribesmen who already had prejudices against them believe him?
"Reporting to the head of the family, Mr. Du wants to see you!" A guard ran in hurriedly.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Buyu, who didn't know how to answer, asked immediately.
"Mr. Du said he wanted to discuss the medicinal materials business." The guard replied.
Xiao Buyu's eyes lit up.
Tang Yan had mentioned cooperation to him before, but the specific matters had not been determined yet and they had to wait for Du Shu to come to discuss it. Could it be that they have already made a decision now?
"Please come in, Mr. Du!" Xiao Buyu ordered in a loud voice.
After a while, Du Shu walked into the meeting room. Seeing that the core members of the Xiao family were all there, he hurriedly said, "So you are holding a family meeting. I will go back first and wait for you to finish."
"It's okay. We are also discussing the matter of medicinal materials. Doesn't Mr. Du want to cooperate on medicinal materials? We can also adjust our direction based on Mr. Du's cooperation." Xiao Buyu warmly invited Du Shu to sit down, and the maid immediately brought tea.
"Mr. Du, do you know anything about the prices of medicinal herbs in the Northern Spiritual Realm? The medicinal herbs in the Northern Spiritual Realm are of various types, and their prices are more expensive than those in the border countries." The second elder said lightly.
Xiao Buyu frowned unhappily.
Du Shu did not hear the contempt in the Second Elder's tone, but thought he was thinking about him, nodded and smiled: "I have already investigated and I am mentally prepared."
Seeing Du Shu's smiling face, everyone didn't want to target him too much, after all, Du Shu and his people were the honored guests mentioned by the Xiao family master. Moreover, Du Shu's etiquette was also very good.
Xiao Buyu was afraid that others would hurt the atmosphere by talking too much, so he went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Du, what medicinal herbs do you need?"
Tang Yan had listed the necessary medicinal herbs for him before. Du Shu took a look and found that in addition to the herbs needed by Tingxiang Country, there were nearly a hundred new kinds of spiritual medicines.
After organizing his thoughts, Du Shu replied, "We need a lot of spiritual medicines, from the first level down to the upper level, there is no upper limit, there is a demand for them."
"Don't worry, Mr. Du, the price will be fair." Xiao Buyu said generously.
"Master Xiao, you don't have to be polite. Brother Yan has already told us that everything will be sold at market price." Du Shu said politely and leisurely listed the herbs he needed: "First-level herbs, six leaves, three apricot kernels, wulu seeds, saffron, green amaranth seeds, nine-headed lion grass, water lily, melon seeds, mat grass, magnolia flower, hibiscus root, big-leaf callicarpa, dogbane leaf, barbata, hairy terminalia, cypress seed, mountain lily, inula flower..."
After this round, Du Shu actually reported nearly three hundred kinds, and then he stopped: "We need so many first-level spiritual medicines for now, I wonder if you have them all?"
"Xiao Lu, do we have it?" Xiao Buyu looked at his cousin. He was in charge of these basic spiritual medicines.
Xiao Lu thought about it carefully before saying, "Mr. Du mentioned so many medicinal herbs at once, and I can't confirm whether all of them are available at once, but I guarantee that more than 90% of the herbs are available. I wonder how many Mr. Du would like?"
"Start with 100,000 plants of each." Du Shu waved his hand, ending the topic of first-level medicinal herbs.
"Puff!" The second elder, who was drinking water nearby, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
Elder Xiao, who was sitting opposite him, was also shocked by Du Shu's statement of "one hundred thousand plants of each kind first". His mouth opened wide, and then he was suddenly fed a sip of tea.
"Gulu!"
Poor Elder Xiao, whose strength had already reached the level of half a step to the innate realm, was distracted and failed to dodge it, and was caught off guard and drank it down his throat.
The others all had dazed and dizzy faces, their brains were in a mess, and they didn't know where they were for a moment.
One hundred thousand plants is already a large number, and if Du Shu reported more than 200 kinds of medicinal herbs, and each one costs 100,000, that would be more than 20 million plants!
Although the price of first-level spiritual medicine is relatively low, you can buy it for a few taels or more than ten taels, and the more expensive ones are only thirty or fifty taels. But the quantity is too large!
This guy just said something casually, and a huge order worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver came out!
"Brother, I didn't mean it. Let me wipe it for you." The second elder reacted and knew he was in trouble. He ignored his image and wiped the first elder's face with his sleeve.
The first elder looked at the second elder with anger on his face. For a moment, he felt like vomiting in his stomach and wanted to chop the second elder into pieces alive.
"Hmph! I'll settle with you later!" The Great Elder said angrily, and the true energy in his body shook, evaporating all the water in his body.
Everyone in the Xiao family tried hard to hold back their laughter.
"One hundred thousand plants, Mr. Du, are you joking?" Xiao Lu, who had reacted, was startled and asked hurriedly.
"This is only the quantity needed in the initial stage, and we will continue to purchase in the future."
After hearing Du Shu's confirmation, Xiao Lu's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "If Mr. Du needs other medicinal materials in the future, let me know first, and I will definitely provide them as soon as possible."
"Mr. Du, is there anything else you need?" Xiao Buyu asked, suppressing his excitement.
