Chapter 766: Great Ambition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were many suppliers from more than ten pharmaceutical shops. With the escort business as a link, if it continued to expand, this would no longer be a small business. “The medicinal herbs of the ten great Daoist lands would become available, and the benefits were very huge. If Miss Lin is interested, I can increase the price of the original medicine by 30%. If there’s money, everyone can earn it. If there’s business, everyone can do it together.” Lin Ruoru’s heart was beating wildly.

The escort business was Yu Youyao’s, and she was also in charge of the marketing. The Lin family was only in charge of supplying the goods, so they could gain an additional 30% of the profits on the original basis. This was a big business that guaranteed profits.

No one wouldn’t be tempted.

After the huge excitement, Lin Ruoru gradually calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, Yu Youyao’s words and actions from the moment she entered the private room immediately caused a layer of cold sweat to appear on her back.

Yu Youyao had clearly come prepared.

First, she used the business of the Jade Pavilion to establish a preliminary trust and relationship with her. Then, she proposed to expand the medicinal herbs business.

She took the initiative to increase the price of the medicine.

Businessmen valued profits. With 30% of the profits as bait, how could the Lin family not be willing to give the medicinal herbs to others at a low price?

If it were anyone else, Lin Ruoru would have been a little wary. However, Yu Youyao was from an aristocratic family and had a noble status. Furthermore, she had the Xie family, the richest family in Quanzhou, as an external family. Naturally, her words were trustworthy.

Lin Ruoru looked at Yu Youyao with a complicated expression. “The County Head has a big appetite!”

Was this the eldest daughter of the first wife who had been raised by an aristocratic family? Was she the County Head of Shaoyi personally conferred by the Imperial Court?

She was calm and magnanimous, not obsessed with small benefits. She would give in when she should and take risks when she should. With just a few words, Yu Youyao had already taken control of the overall situation.

More importantly, working with such a person was clearly the most reassuring.

She had no reason to refuse.

However, Lin Ruoru also knew that she was not the only one who could take on this business. Yu Youyao’s ambition aligned with her, the Lin family, and the Yan family behind her.

The medicinal herbs produced in the Ten Great Dao Lands were different.

The Lin family was the only family in the medicinal herb production area in Jiangnan.

What about Shuchuan?

Her mother had no children. Due to the Yan family, although her father did not dote on his concubines more than his wife, her mother’s life in the Lin family was not easy.

As the daughter of the first wife, she was unwilling to give up her huge family business that belonged to her and her mother to a concubine’s child.

Therefore, in the future, her status in the Lin family would definitely require the support of her mother and the Yan family. It was impossible for her to watch helplessly as the Lin family benefited and grew while the Yan family remained weak.

The Lin and Yan families were in-laws, so they could earn money together. This was in line with the situation of two families working together to win.

Not only had Yu Youyao calculated all the benefits, but she had also calculated everyone’s hearts.

This County Head of Shaoyi was really too impressive.

Indeed!

Yu Youyao continued, “The medicinal herbs of the Dao lands are the agreed standards for the quality of the medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs are specially nurtured under specific growing conditions, such as the environment, climate, and many other factors. There will be medicinal herbs that are suitable for production, high quality, have high production rates, are refined, have outstanding curative effects, and have local characteristics.” The Compendium of Herbs recorded:

Whenever medicine is picked, one must choose from suitable land and there is a basis for using different types of medicine…

All grass, wood, and insects had their origins.

Roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits were picked at the right time.

If the location is wrong, the taste would be different.

If the timing is wrong, the smell would be incomplete.

Therefore, the medicinal herbs produced in various areas were irreplaceable.

Yu Youyao’s appetite was really big. A pharmaceutical business in Jiangnan couldn’t satisfy her. Her cooperation with the Yan family was also within her calculations.

In fact, after she cooperated with the Lin and Yan families, she could even use the powerful advantage of the medicinal herbs of the two great paths to continue to cooperate with the other medicinal herbs areas.

Yu Youyao dared to do what she wanted to do. She wanted to do the medicinal herbs business in the top ten medicinal herbs areas in the country.

If others wanted to do this, they would first have to face the problem of channels. Without channels, it meant that they would have to bear a huge risk and losses.

On the other hand, the escort business created a channel for Yu Youyao to exchange information.

Lin Ruoru’s mouth was dry. She gritted her teeth and said, “As you said, this is a big business. I have to discuss it with the elders in the family before making a decision.’

Yu Youyao nodded. “Miss Lin, you can discuss it slowly. These are all matters for the future. At the moment, there’s a more urgent business that needs the support of the Lin and Yan families.”

Lin Ruoru was shocked again. She braced herself and asked, “Please elaborate!”

Yu Youyao took another box from Chun Xiao’s hand and placed it on the table. She gently lifted the lid. “There’s a drought in the north, and the people are starving and cold. The Imperial Court has already appointed officials to relief the disaster victims. I also have the intention to do my best for the Imperial Court and the people. I want to buy a batch of medicinal herbs from the Lin and Yan families to help the North. The price of the medicinal herbs will be based on the market price. This is a banknote of 300,000 taels of silver. Consider it a deposit.”

Lin Ruoru looked at Yu Youyao with a complicated expression. “County Head’s plan is flawless. I’m impressed.”

Purchasing medicinal herbs from the Lin and Yan families for disaster relief was a good sell. It also expressed her sincerity for the cooperation between the Lin and Yan families, and also showed her financial resources to the Lin and Yan families.

Shaoyi County mainly purchased medicinal herbs from the Lin and Yan families for disaster relief. The Lin and Yan families would definitely take on the responsibility. As suppliers, the Lin and Yan families easily hooked up with the County Head of Shaoyi and earned a good reputation.

Yu Youyao did not deny it. “Everyone in the world values fame and fortune.

However, fame comes first, and benefits come later. The fundamental reason is that fame is the foundation of the family inheritance. Only fame is beneficial.’

Fame was not easy to obtain. It often took years, decades, or even generations to accumulate it. The Lin and Yan families had also been managed for generations to reach their current scale.

Lin Ruoru agreed deeply. “County Head, you’re wise.”

Now, a good opportunity to seek fame was right in front of them. It was easy to obtain. There was no need for the Lin and Yan families to pay anything. They could even make a profit. Even if it was a pirate ship, the Lin and Yan families would dare to take it.

After this matter, the subsequent medicinal herbs cooperation was almost a foregone conclusion.

The County Head of Shaoyi took every step carefully, pressing forward step by step. There was almost nothing for her to do.

Even so, Lin Ruoru did not dare to agree easily. She could only say, “I’ll answer you as soon as possible after I discuss it with my elders.”

Since she wanted medicinal herbs for disaster relief, the amount would not be too large.

There was still a lot of preparation to do at home.

Yu Youyao expressed her understanding, so she took two medicinal herbs booklets and handed them to Lin Ruoru. “In that case, I’ll wait for good news from Miss Lin.’

Eldest Miss Yu really did not hesitate at all. One of the medicinal herbs listed in the two medicinal herbs book corresponded to the Jiangnan medicinal herb production area, and the other corresponded to the Shuchuan medicinal herb production area.

In addition to some medicinal herbs for cold and flu, there was also a large portion of medicinal herbs to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding. The amount needed was really not small.

However, there were many kinds of medicinal herbs for anti-inflammatory medicine that had a wide range of uses to begin with. Therefore, Lin Ruoru did not pay much attention to it..
