As a middleman for herbal medicine dealers, Ma Laosan surely benefits a lot every year from this.
If Xiyang establishes a Chinese herbal medicine plantation here, regardless of the villagers’ interests, Ma Laosan’s interests will certainly be threatened.
But if Village Chief Ma knows that Ma Laosan would cause trouble, and still let the villagers complain in front of her, it also shows the chief’s capability in handling things.
From the first time she came to Qingyan Village until now, she had given Village Chief Ma three or four days.
Back at the inn, Lin Chuxia let Niu Dali go back.
They didn’t continue to stay overnight at the inn but packed their luggage directly, found the tractor the landlady had arranged a few days ago, and headed straight for the county.
A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
Without necessary interests, Lin Chuxia would not confront those villagers head-on, nor put herself in danger.
The county’s accommodation conditions were much better than those in the town.
Gu Peng directly found the best guesthouse in the county and booked three rooms.
Yu Fei was a bit downcast all the way and was also frightened by the imposing stance of the villagers.
After arriving at the guesthouse, he discussed with Lin Chuxia, "Why don’t I go and find the county leaders, after all, establishing a Chinese herbal medicine plantation is a great thing for both the country and the people, I think the county leaders would support it."
He comes here to purchase medicinal materials almost every year, and still has some connections.
Lin Chuxia, however, waved it off, "No need for now, our main purpose this time is to survey, to truly decide if we want to build a herbal plantation in Qingyan Town, we need to consider many aspects, let’s leave it like this for now, let’s not talk about work, during these days in Qingyan Town, conditions have been limited, Yu has come all the way to accompany us, I haven’t thanked him yet, we should find a place to have a good meal tonight."
This made Yu Fei a bit embarrassed.
"Not at all, Lin, you’ve come from afar and haven’t accomplished the task yet, I feel bad in my heart, how could I let you treat me, let me take care of the meal later."
"Yu, don’t argue with me, the pharmaceutical factory has to be built, and there will be many things I’ll have to consult you about in the future," she said, turning to Gu Peng, "You find a place, today we must not let Yu leave sober."
Gu Peng nodded, "Alright, you guys rest first, I’ll be back soon."
Lin Chuxia also asked Yu Fei to go wash up a bit, in this hot weather, they went to Qingyan Village early, encountered a villager protest, and ran all the way, it’s impossible not to look disheveled.
Yu Fei, without being polite, went back to wash and change, and Lin Chuxia also returned to her room to take a shower.
Their idea of building a pharmaceutical factory and a Chinese herbal plantation would greatly benefit the local economic development, whether in the short or long term.
But Lin Chuxia also knew she was just a businesswoman.
Historically, scholars, farmers, craftsmen, and businessmen, have always placed businessmen at the end.
She has been in Qingyan Town for such a long time, and only the village chief of Qingyan Village entertained them, doesn’t this say something?
She couldn’t get a sense of superiority just because she was well-received in Ancheng County, after all, not everyone is Bai Qifeng.
Not everything is a given, she is a businesswoman, and in business, it’s best to speak with interests.
............
This county is far less prosperous than An City County, but it does have two seemingly nice restaurants.
The restaurant Gu Peng booked was not far from where they stayed, after booking he also went back to bathe and changed into clean clothes.
Seeing the time was about right, the three of them headed directly to the restaurant.
When they said they wanted to have a good meal, they really meant it.
The restaurant’s signature dishes and local specialties were all ordered.
In her previous life, Gu Peng didn’t care for money or women, only for food.
