Chapter 119 Herbal Tea
"I'm a little interested in investing in a herbal tea beverage factory. How much did you borrow back then?" After hearing this, Ge Dongxu saw tears rolling in Yuan Li's eyes, so he asked while taking a tissue to her.
Ge Dongxu said that he was interested in the herbal tea beverage factory, not because he wanted to help Yuan Li, but because Yuan Li's words reminded him that this was a good investment project.
Herbal tea is "neither cold nor tea". It is a drink made of compound or single-flavor local herbs commonly used in Lingnan, Hong Kong and Macau. It decocts Chinese herbal medicines with cold medicinal properties and can dissolve internal heat as a drink to eliminate the heat in the human body in summer or throat pain caused by dryness in winter. Herbal tea is a beverage that people use traditional Chinese medicine health theory as a guide, and uses Chinese herbal medicine as raw materials and eats it. It summarizes the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting salivation and quenching thirst, removing fire and removing dampness.
The climate of Jiangnan Province is actually very close to Lingnan, Hong Kong and other places, especially coastal cities like Ouzhou, which are prone to heatstroke in summer, so they have always had the traditional habit of drinking herbal tea. For example, Changxi County, when walking on the streets this season, there are stalls shouting herbal tea everywhere. These vendors basically sell herbal tea made from fairy grass.
Herbal tea has a long history, which can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty of China. When it comes to the history of herbal tea in China, there is one person who is very important, that is, Ge Hong, a Taoist medical scientist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who is known as the founder of Taoist herbal tea.
It is said that in 306 AD, Ge Hong came to Lingnan. Due to the prevalence of miasma at that time, he was able to carefully study various warm diseases medicines in Lingnan. Later, the medical monographs left by Ge Hong and the Wen school doctors in Lingnan summarized the rich experience of working people in the long-term prevention and treatment of diseases, forming herbal tea with a profound cultural heritage in Lingnan. The formula and terminology were passed down from generation to generation. For example, the herbal tea, which is famous in Lingnan, is inherited from the authentic formula of Ge **, the founder of Taoist herbal tea, and is well-known in Lingnan.
Unfortunately, during the "****", the herbal tea culture was severely damaged. Not only did the herbal tea shop close, but there were only a few cultural relics such as herbal tea making equipment, sites, relics, historical materials, photos, etc., but fortunately, part of the culture in this area was passed down in Hong Kong and Macau. For example, the very famous Heqizheng, Shangqing Yin, Huang Zhenlong, Wanglaoji, etc. are herbal tea recipes passed down from generation to generation.
As the successor of Ge Hong, the founder of Taoist herbal tea, Ge Dongxu naturally has inherited some complete and unique herbal tea recipes. However, Ge Dongxu habitually classified the inheritance in this area into medicine. He usually did not think of the appropriate herbal tea recipes. Herbal tea made from the same tea is cool but not cold, cleared heat but did not damage the spleen and stomach, and had no liver and kidney toxicity. It is suitable for all seasons. It can prevent diseases when there is no disease, and can cure diseases when there is no disease. "Prevent dryness in autumn and winter, and remove heat and dampness in spring and summer". It can be drunk as a drink, and it is many times healthier than those foreign carbonated beverages such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Because he didn't expect this, Ge Dongxu never thought about running a herbal tea beverage factory. Of course, he didn't have much money before. However, although his pockets are still poor, he has land. If he is willing to sell the twelve acres of land now, it would be equivalent to a total of 3.8 million.
Three million and eight million yuan were definitely a huge sum at this time. If it were just a small herbal tea beverage factory, it would be enough for him to invest and run several.
"Thank you for your kindness Dongxu. However, when we invested in the herbal tea beverage factory, we were very optimistic about its prospects, but now it seems that it is wrong. Now Liu Lihe can't afford to pay off the loan. Although he is related to Yang Hong's secretly squandering and squandering, it is also related to the business downturn. Otherwise, if the business is booming, even if they squander it, they won't even be able to get a penny now. Besides, you just took the factory mortgage not long ago, which shows that you are also nervous." Yuan Li couldn't help but feel moved when she saw Ge Dongxu was interested in investing in the herbal tea beverage factory and said.
Seeing that Yuan Li could still consider herself in this situation, Ge Dongxu finally understood why her ex-husband and her cousin could join forces to deceive her to this level today.
This is a woman whose kind nature has not been worn away by society.
It is precisely because of this that Ge Dongxu became more and more determined to help her. Anyway, he was preparing to invest in the herbal tea beverage factory.
"You don't have to worry about this. Since I am planning to invest in the herbal tea beverage factory, I must have a financial foundation in this regard. Now you should tell me first how much money you have borrowed." Ge Dongxu said.
"Fifty-five thousand! The factory and equipment are worth at most 300,000 yuan now. The apartment I live in now is 85 square meters. Because it has been a certain year, it can be sold at most 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. I still have 30,000 yuan on hand, so they should be able to squeeze out another 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, so the shortage is about 150,000 yuan, which is a relatively conservative estimate." Yuan Li saw Ge Dongxu insisting on her saying it, so she had to say with a wry smile.
150,000 is probably nothing to the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China branch in a county in this era, but it was definitely a huge amount at that time. The interest alone alone was almost equivalent to Yuan Li’s salary for half a year. So even if Yuan Li was the deputy president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Changxi County, she was so worried about the money that she was crying and had no choice.
"Just sell the house, can you still rent a house? In this way, at 11:40 tomorrow, you will call a car to wait for me at the gate of Changxi No. 1 Middle School. I will go to the herbal tea beverage factory in Wangzhoushan with you. I will see how the factory is. If it is easy to pass, I will invest 500,000 yuan to buy it. But don't tell your ex-husband and cousin first, see how much money they can make. They have taken a huge advantage, and they can't continue to get the advantage." Ge Dongxu thought about it and thought that he could still bear the 500,000 yuan himself. In addition, considering that if the factory is rebuilt and new equipment is wasted, the money will definitely be more than 500,000 yuan, so he doesn't mind taking out 500,000 yuan to buy the factory directly.
In this way, he can not only quickly start the herbal tea beverage business with relatively little investment, but also help Yuan Li overcome difficulties, but he can kill two birds with one stone.
In fact, Yuan Li was so helpless that she told the loan amount just now that she was asked by Ge Dongxu. She had never really expected Ge Dongxu to invest in the herbal tea beverage factory. After all, this is an investment of hundreds of thousands, so who would just throw it down for someone who doesn’t have much friendship?
Unless the person covets her beauty, or wants to make a power-for-money transaction with her, after all, no matter what, her appearance and figure are very good, and the position of deputy president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Changxi County is still a bit of power at hand.
But Ge Dongxu is a teenager, so it is definitely impossible for him to covet her beauty or want to make a power-for-money transaction with her.
So when Yuan Li heard Ge Dongxu say that she really wanted to invest money to buy their factory, and that it was worth at most about 300,000 yuan, he was willing to buy it for an extra 200,000 yuan. He was shocked and said after a long time of disbelief: "You, are you really going to invest 500,000 yuan to buy the factory?"
