Chapter 307: Three hundred and seven Ambitious_1

Gu Chen drove all the way to the Auspicious Store near the train station, where he found his second brother Gu He.

Boss Zhao had already bagged the needed goji berries for this shipment, but Gu Chen wasn’t to be careless; he recounted the amount to make sure.

After confirming everything was correct, he went ahead with the full load of goods to the train station.

As soon as he arrived at the train station, he saw Zhao Chunfa, who seemed to have been eagerly awaiting his arrival.

He was leaning against a big tree by the roadside, with a prominent beer belly and panting heavily.

Upon seeing Gu Chen get out of the car, Zhao Chunfa lunged forward with agility that could put rabbits to shame.

He then grabbed Gu Chen’s hand and started shaking it excitedly.

"I tell you, Brother Gu, I’ve been so relieved to see you. These past few days, I’ve had no appetite for tea or food, just thinking of you."

Gu Chen quickly drew his hand back and spoke somewhat speechlessly.

"Old Zhao, you shouldn’t be thinking of me. Just focus on the goji berries. I’m a married man, and not just that, I also have a daughter."

Zhao Chunfa was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Gu Chen to make such a joke.

He couldn’t help but burst into laughter, agreeing repeatedly.

"Right, right, right, it’s the goji berries I’m thinking about. But Brother Gu, you’re really a rarity among men. I wouldn’t lose out by thinking of you. After all, I also have a daughter who will be going to university next year. When you’re free, maybe you could meet her, and I could become your father-in-law."

Gu Chen grimaced and couldn’t help but silently disdain Old Zhao, thinking about his pudgy appearance.

Could his daughter really be that easy to handle?

That being said, Gu Chen knew that since they had worked together for so long, Old Zhao’s capabilities were beyond doubt.

With ease, he directed the porters and the goods were quickly sorted and loaded onto the train.

Even during the process, he was able to coordinate various affairs, making everything go smoothly and in order.

"This time there are a total of four thousand boxes of goji berries, weighing over a thousand pounds, and all top quality. Once Ji Family in Chuan City receives it, I estimate we’ll get at least a hundred thousand back. It’s just that this batch is a little small."

"After the previous sale, I kept one bag as a sample. At the exhibition a while back, several city pharmacies showed a lot of interest. What do you think, Brother Gu?"

Once the goji berries were all loaded onto the train and it slowly started moving, Old Zhao spoke with some anticipation.

Nobody minds making more money, especially since Zhao Chunfa had a stake in it.

He had been seriously committed, constantly running around the market and exploring channels, just waiting to expand the business.

"Hmm, in half a month, I can continue to supply you with three tons of top-quality goji berries. Just go ahead and do it, Old Zhao. As for how to allocate the quotas, let the highest bidder get them, or we could even hold an auction. Our goods are in demand, so there’s no need to plead with the buyers."

"Also, help me rent two large warehouses near the train station. I’ll be sending goods there on a regular basis. That way, you’ll have an easier time with the shipments, and you can also start exploring the market for ginseng, matsutake, and Lingzhi."

Although these could all come from my System Domain, and the Ji Family would certainly want them, I still feel that it’s better not to rely on Ji Pianran unless necessary. Otherwise, wouldn’t I just be taking advantage of her, whining for help without need?

With this reassurance, Zhao Chunfa’s whole demeanor brightened, radiating enthusiasm with a chest thumping like a drum.

"Got it! This is what I’ve been waiting for. As long as the quality of your medicinal materials stays this excellent, I, Old Zhao, can’t guarantee much, but give me a year, and I promise to sell them across the country, and even overseas. Then those foreigners will see our medicine and will be giving it a thumbs up and saying OK!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

"That’s great. If you really expand the market nationwide, you’ll be my national sole agent. If you go on to sell overseas, I’ll make you the global sole agent of our company."

Old Zhao was a sharp one and immediately picked up on Gu Chen’s implication, asking with a hint of surprise.

"Brother Gu, are you planning to start a company now?"

Gu He smiled enigmatically and then shook the document bag in his hand as he spoke.

"The first step is already in place; now we just need to get the brand out there. The new company will be up and running soon, but don’t worry, our main business in agricultural crops like goji berries will still be a collaborative effort between us."

He was worried that Old Zhao would be concerned that starting his own company might affect him, so he explained a bit.

Looking at the aspiring and ambitious Gu He standing before him,

Zhao Chunfa was suddenly at a loss for words.

Although the previous conversations were jokes between the two men, at this moment, he suddenly had the impulse to introduce his daughter to him.

This young man, who had nothing just a few months ago, had now reached a point where Zhao had to look up to him.

If given some more time, his future was likely beyond imagination.

He thought this, yet he didn’t notice Gu He, who, after explaining these matters,

had already driven off directly.

Before, he could manage with small sales in the market, but now with the increased demand, the System Domain was suddenly not enough.

And the more goods he produced, the more attention was drawn to their origins, and it was inevitable that Gu He would move operations into the real world.

This coincided with his plans to expand production, which meant that the land he had previously secured in the village would be put to use.

Gu He drove non-stop back to the village, and the sight of the pure black Santana caused quite a stir.

In those days, not many city people owned cars, even dual-income families couldn’t afford one, let alone in their rural village.

When everyone saw that Gu He was the person in the car, they felt an intense envy.

However, Gu He didn’t see it as anything special, perhaps due to memories from his past life.

So he subconsciously considered driving the Santana as something rather low-key.

After getting out of the car, Tian Laosì and Qiao Hua had already been waiting for him at the edge of the fields for quite a while.

As soon as they saw him, they came up to meet him together.

"Uncle Tian, how are the seeds we planted doing now?" asked Gu He, turning to Tian Laosì at his side.

Because of Gu Zhigang’s incident, he had not been back for some time, and all the fieldwork had been left to Tian Laosì.

Upon hearing this question, Tian Laosì’s face instantly flushed with excitement.

"They’re growing extremely well! I’ve been farming for so many years and I’ve never seen a year this good! No, that’s not right, the other fields seem just the same as before. I don’t know if you have some kind of magic, Gu He. Look at this corn and wheat, it’s fully a head taller than others’."

"If it keeps growing like this, we might be able to harvest in another month or two. My goodness, it feels like I’m dreaming."

He had never seen such a fast-growing farm in all his years of farming.

It was truly incredible!

Listening to Tian Laosì’s praise, the smile on Gu He’s face grew even more intense.

Standing with both of them in the field, he seemed to see the embryonic form of his future new company through the lush seedlings before him.

Gazing into the distance, a hint of a smile appeared on Gu He’s face.

"Brother Si, these are imported seeds. Just wait and see, from now on, our farm will only get better and better!"
