The grand prize landed and the crowd receded.
The residual warmth has not dissipated, but the heat is still there.
Influence is the best catalyst for publicity.
After being broadcast by TV stations and spread by word of mouth among the people, the publicity work completely reversed the passive situation and gradually started to spark a prairie fire.
The most interesting thing is that since Mu Liang and the others left, there has been an enthusiastic volunteer preacher in Xicheng District. It is the retired old man who won the lottery.
He told this story in a dazzling way and spread the word of Buddha's protection everywhere. His persistence was rewarded, and he was eventually regarded as an advanced model to give a tour report.
Mantle's publicity work has since reached a new level.
That night, in order to celebrate the success of the promotional event, Li Feini offered to treat her to dinner, which attracted everyone's applause.
Everyone did not treat her as an outsider, and unanimously decided to go to the famous local delicacies restaurant to try the local artificially raised rare birds and animals.
In order to maintain the export of rare animals and meet the needs of tourism, local artificial breeding and sales have found a new way to make a fortune.
However, due to the high feeding costs, when transferred to the restaurant industry, the price becomes outrageous.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and the market and demand are always twins.
There are many special enthusiasts out there.
Animals raised in captivity in the mountains still have delicious meat and are very popular among high-end consumer groups.
Thinking that someone would pay the bill, Mu Liang simply called the liaison officer, Sheriff Li and the instructor together, and a group of 15 people rushed to the destination in a hurry.
When they arrived at the place, Sheriff Li and the others found out that this was a high-consumption place. There were regulations from above and they wanted to leave the place because they could not accept invitations at will.
Mu Liang was well prepared. He immediately took out his ID card phone, opened the college's intranet, and showed him the social practice task notice.
There is a clause in it that clearly states:
The team leader can, according to the situation, host a banquet for the instructors who guide the internship on behalf of the college. The total cost will be controlled within 100 star coins, and the tax invoice will be returned to the college for reimbursement.
"It's impossible for the two instructors to spend more than 200,000 Chinese coins here."
Mu Liang tried to dispel the concerns of several people and immediately said in an official tone:
"Now, on behalf of Earth Star Elite College, I am officially hosting a banquet for all teachers who guide internships and warriors who protect safety. I hope you will be invited to attend."
The liaison officer stood aside and made additional explanations, "This is a diplomatic matter. The other party has made a formal invitation in person. If you refuse to attend, it will damage our image."
"Haha, the little guy wants to be a diplomat. His tone is quite similar, but he lacks a bit of domineering."
Sheriff Li took the lead in entering the large box without any further excuses.
"I heard that you became famous for your promotional activities in the afternoon. You are very capable, which really impressed me."
The instructor stroked his hair lovingly and followed him with a smile.
"Good excuse, great!"
When the guests came in, Tang Xiaolong and others extended their thumbs to give thumbs up.
Mu Liang asked them to greet the guests first. Worried that Sheriff Li and others would impose restrictions again, he simply went to the lobby to order food.
Now that it has been promoted to a diplomatic level, the dishes must be formal and sumptuous, and I will order almost all the varieties I have never tasted before in one go.
Anyway, there are 7 evolvers among them. If they are really full, their appetite will not be ordinary.
Of course, good wine is indispensable. There are 4 bottles of international famous wines.
Sheriff Li, the instructor, and the liaison officer are all smokers. The two Earth Star guards smoke occasionally, and the four Chinese soldiers are unknown at the moment. They always want to satisfy the guests.
The cigars are second to none, let’s talk about the boxing.
Black tea, fresh juice, digestive drinks, etc. filled up three menus, and Mu Liang finally stopped dictating.
The waitress, who was proficient in Chinese language, was a little dumbfounded after finishing recording.
The number of people reported by the other party is 15, which is at least enough for more than 30 people.
Moreover, per capita consumption is far beyond normal standards and belongs to the top level.
She stared closely at the handsome young man in front of her. She looked familiar but didn't remember him for a moment, and she had some doubts about his spending power.
"Why, you didn't recognize me, handsome guy. Isn't I famous enough?"
Mu Liang made a joke and was about to click on the video to show her. He looked up and caught a glimpse of the TV news on the wall and motioned for it to play back the previous paragraph.
Mu Liang pointed to the boy wearing sunglasses in the picture, and then pointed to himself. The meaning was very clear.
"Are you the student from Earth Star Elite Academy?"
The other party compared it carefully and was a little doubtful.
"Okay, authentication is easier."
Mu Liang turned on his ID card phone, called up the identity barcode, and asked him to scan it for confirmation.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please go to the private room and wait a moment. The food will be served in half an hour."
The waitress saw the identity information clearly and hurriedly apologized.
"This is your responsibility. Pay attention to improving your facial recognition skills. Your professionalism should match high-end services."
Mu Liang waved his hand, not bothering with these details.
After walking out of the hall, he was about to go upstairs to the box. Thinking of having to listen to the instructor and others nagging him again, he decided to wander around alone.
After a brief observation, he discovered that this was a spacious farm built against a mountain.
The atypical courtyard structure is arranged in double concave characters and has a temple-like shape. The exterior walls are decorated in an antique style with Chinese-style red lanterns hung on them.
The five floors are all equipped with hundreds of private rooms, which are magnificent and bright inside.
In front of the building is a large parking lot, where all kinds of electric or gasoline luxury cars in Mantle City are gathered.
The most advanced all-star self-driving commercial cars can actually be seen, which shows that there are rich people everywhere in the world.
In terms of being arrogant and domineering, the armored vehicle with the logo of the General Administration of Earth and Stars that he was riding in was tall and conspicuous, attracting some diners to stop and take a closer look, as if they were making comments.
Walking to the backyard, passing through a long corridor, and in a soundproof shed at the foot of the hill, Mu Liang saw several people dissecting a cow.
One of them cut off a section of the cow gallbladder attachment, skillfully cut it open and looked inside, and actually took out two oval stones the size of a thumb.
After showing off with a smile on his face, the butcher carefully put it into a fresh-keeping bag, weighed it and registered it on an electronic scale, and handed it over to the waiter waiting here.
“What a pure natural bezoar!”
Mu Liang has been influenced by his father since he was a child and has some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. He recognized the value of this thing at a glance.
I secretly praised it in my mind, followed the waiter and left to inquire about the inventory.
If there are enough, I plan to buy them.
Mushi Pharmaceutical is in short supply of high-end raw materials and can just supplement this main medicinal material.
Natural bezoar is very precious. The international medical community recognizes its functions and its price is higher than gold.
According to literature records, intact bezoars are mostly oval in shape, with a golden to yellowish-brown surface, and are light, delicate and shiny.
Bezoars are gallstones in the gallbladder of chordate cattle. Those produced in the gallbladder are called "gallstones" or "egg yolks", those produced in the bile ducts are called "tube yellows", and those produced in the liver ducts are called "liver yellows".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bezoar gas has a delicate fragrance, a slightly bitter taste and then a sweet taste. It is cool in nature and can be used to relieve fever, detoxify and calm convulsions.
Orally used to treat high fever, coma, madness, convulsions, convulsions and other diseases in children.
For external use, it can be used to treat sore throat, aphtha and carbuncle, and uremia.
Follow the waiter and arrive in front of a three-story warehouse.
The guard stopped him in front of the fence and prohibited him from entering. He pointed to the sign "Important warehouse, no one allowed to enter" and asked him to leave.
Mu Liang stepped back slightly and watched as the operator went to an alloy storage room on the second floor and handed the bezoar in the plastic bag to the custodian for inspection.
After the two parties completed the handover, they came downstairs.
"Miss, I am the elite student on TV news. You should recognize me. I want to buy bezoar."
Mu Liang led the waiter aside and got straight to the point.
"You are very smart. You have even found the most valuable thing here, but I have no right to make the decision."
The waiter answered him politely, obviously confirming his identity, and was much more flexible than the one in the lobby.
"It saves trouble to talk to a capable young lady. All you have to do is tell me how much the item is? How much is the price? And take me to see the manager or the boss. This money is your information fee."
Mu Liang took out a stack of Chinese coins and stuffed them into her hand.
“The little guy is so cunning, it doesn’t hurt to tell you.
I sold it once two years ago and accumulated about 1,000 grams in the past two years, some of which reached the size of eggs.
The grass roots in the mountainous areas here are unique. Cattle are prone to develop stones after eating them. The quality is relatively pure and the medicinal value is very high.
I heard that since last year, some companies have approached their bosses to negotiate purchases, offering up to three times the price of gold.
The boss didn't let go and has been delaying until now.
The boss is a relative of mine and is traveling now.
I can take you and talk to the restaurant manager first, he will be able to contact the owner directly. "
The waiter casually stuffed the money into his backpack. It seemed that this was not the first time he received a favor, and he led the way casually.
He led Mu Liang to the corridor of the box building and entered a large office connected by the corridor.
After the waiter introduced both parties, he did not leave immediately, but stayed to listen, probably because he wanted to learn new information.
The general manager obviously knew that she was a relative of the boss. Seeing that Mu Liang had no intention of chasing people away, he would not offend anyone by speaking.
Makoto looked at the time and saw that there were still 5 minutes until the food was served. A slight delay would be fine.
First, he called Tang Xiaolong and said that he had made all arrangements and was discussing business with the owner of the store. He asked him to greet the guests for dinner first and there was no need to wait for him.
Then he faced the general manager and said bluntly: "As long as it is guaranteed to be natural bezoar, I will eat all your inventory. You can call the boss and ask for a price. If I think it is suitable, I will pay immediately and seal the deal."
The general manager is worthy of being an old man. He speaks fluent Chinese and plays Tai Chi: "The boss told me when he left, let the customer quote first, and then he will make a decision."
"What's the highest price quoted by a previous customer?"
Mu Liang asked the previous question to verify the authenticity of the waiter's answer.
“The highest price offered was three times the gold price, but the boss did not agree.
Because when we buy beef cattle, the farm adds part of the value of the bezoar, and the cost is relatively high.
You must have seen the real thing when I slaughtered it just now. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. "
The general manager readily gave the answer and explained it, obviously wanting to support the quotation.
"Do you have photos and test reports? Can you send them to me?" Mu Liang asked for prerequisites.
"All, no problem, I'll give it to you now." The general manager asked for the number and sent the document package over.
Mu Liang quickly forwarded it to his father, and then made a phone call to ask his father to verify the quality before negotiating.
While waiting for a few minutes, he checked the relevant quotations online and roughly understood the international market conditions, which were generally less than 3 times the price of gold.
Especially high-quality ones can only reach 3.5 times at most, and any higher is extremely rare.
