Chapter 600 The embarrassment of the ginseng market
Liu Shanren was her regular customer, and she felt very guilty. Liu Shanren had called her just now and asked her to prepare a roasted lamb, but she was busy and forgot about it.
"What's going on? What happened?" Liu Shanren looked at her doubtfully, then turned to look at Li Fei and Zhao Li.
Zhao Li laughed and said: "Master Liu, let's forget about this for now and let's talk about business!"
Li Fei also hummed, nodded and said: "Business matters, let's finish talking about it, and then we can eat again!"
"Haha, you are all cheerful people, and I won't be bothered by it anymore, old man!" He said, looking at the two of them with bright eyes.
Zhao Li immediately said: "I called you just now to tell you about ginseng. Let me tell you, the ginseng we auctioned last time was actually just an invitation to see how many real potential buyers there are. Who are there?"
A buyer who really likes ginseng!”
Liu Shanren looked at her doubtfully, and Zhao Li continued: "What we are auctioning is a two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng. In fact, the real treasure we have is a three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Because of this
The rarity of ginseng is that it is a truly rare treasure, priceless, so we do not intend to make it public to the world, so we adopt this method, first take out the ginseng that has been produced for more than two hundred years, and find potential buyers.
Home, then we will privately ask those buyers who really love ginseng. After all, no one wants the news that they have such a rare treasure to be known to the world, don’t you think so?”
Zhao Li looked at Liu Shanren with a smile as she spoke. Liu Shanren was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and nodded.
There does exist such a group of people. As the old saying goes, no one is innocent but the one who possesses the jade is guilty. If there really is such a 300-year-old wild ginseng, its value can indeed be said to be immeasurable, and it is worthy of their caution.
However, he thought that he was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. Even if he bought this ginseng, it was for the reputation of his medical clinic. If he would publicize it in the future, their approach would be of no use to him, and it would be missing an excellent publicity.
The opportunity is a bit regrettable.
But think about other rich people who may be different from what I think. They just want to hide their treasures quietly because they are afraid that thieves will notice them.
However, they said they had three hundred years of wild ginseng. He was seriously skeptical, and his attitude suddenly became a little cold.
Li Fei next to him found it funny. How do these old people know the psychology of today's young people? Nowadays, young people have similar treasures and want to show them off. They can show off all kinds of things. Let them bury the good things in
It is absolutely impossible in my stomach, but Liu Shanren obviously belongs to the group of people with old ideas, and it is easier to accept Zhao Li's current statement.
Liu Shanren looked at Zhao Li with a smile and said: "Xiao Zhao, you keep saying that you still have a wild ginseng that is more than 300 years old. Why don't I believe it? There really is a ginseng that is over 300 years old in the world.
New year’s wild ginseng?”
Zhao Li glanced at Li Fei and smiled without saying a word. Liu Shanren also followed Zhao Li's gaze and turned his head to Li Fei.
Li Fei shrugged his shoulders, looked at Liu Shanren and said, "Doctor Liu, three hundred years of wild ginseng shouldn't be rare, right? Why do I often see scenes on TV where the protagonist eats thousand-year-old ginseng? Now thousand-year-old ginseng
They all appear frequently, so the three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng should be very common!"
Liu Shanren glanced at him, shook his head and said, "What do young people know? Those are all exaggerations in film and television works. According to historical records, the longest wild ginseng that has ever appeared has not reached three hundred years.
, if you can really take out a three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng, it will break the historical record!"
Li Fei looked at Liu Shanren in confusion, while Liu Shanren picked up the kettle, poured himself a glass of water slowly, stretched out his arm, picked it up and took a sip, and hissed softly and said: "Good tea!
"
Li Fei glanced at the water glass in his hand. It was clearly a glass of cold water.
Liu Shanren put down the water glass in his hand, looked at the confused two people and continued: "There is another kind of person in this world, and that is the unscrupulous profiteer!"
"These profiteers have done so many things that pretend to be good and inferior, which has caused today's young people to have a biased understanding of many things. However, they still have the majority of the right to speak. I feel sorry for their actions.
I feel shameful. It is becoming more and more difficult for our traditional Chinese medicine to advance. It is precisely because of the existence of a large number of people like them that it has ruined the reputation of our traditional Chinese medicine. For example, the ginseng industry is almost the epitome of our traditional Chinese medicine community."
He paused for a moment, sighed softly, glanced at the two of them again, then shook his head and said, "Why am I telling you two children this? You can't understand."
Li Fei quickly said: "Dr. Liu, I am very interested. Please continue."
This topic is indeed relatively new to Li Fei. He is also a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Since he mastered this wonderful medical skill, he has felt a heavy sense of responsibility on his shoulders. From time to time, he thinks of the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine, and his heart is filled with a sense of crisis. He also hopes that one day he can
Make some contribution to Chinese medicine.
Liu Shanren glanced at Li Fei, appreciating his attitude, so he nodded and continued: "The current talent market has been completely disrupted by those profiteers. First of all, when ginseng became popular decades ago, those profiteers were buying everywhere.
Ginseng, they sold out all the ginseng on the market. Wild ginseng grows extremely slowly, and it often takes more than ten years to become a ginseng. There is not enough ginseng on the market for them to collect, so the value of ginseng is getting higher and higher, and the real wild ginseng is also
Less and less.”
"This group of profiteers saw the profits and invested a large amount of money to start artificial cultivation. Although the efficacy of artificially cultivated ginseng is somewhat worse than that of wild ginseng, as long as you are willing to work hard, every penny will be worth it.
Harvesting, but these unscrupulous profiteers have never been down-to-earth. In order to pursue short-term profits, they do things that undermine the success of the ginseng. They use various chemical fertilizers and various scientific and technological means to destroy the ginseng, greatly shortening the growth cycle of the ginseng.
It takes at least five years for ginseng to mature, and it takes more than ten years for ginseng to have certain curative effects. They have forcibly shortened the time for ginseng to be harvested in one or two years!"
"They were not ashamed, but proud of it. Such ginseng was put on the market in large quantities. Seizing the market immediately greatly destroyed the original wild ginseng market. Soon the real wild ginseng on the market had disappeared, and it was filled with
These ginseng, which is ripened by high-tech means and becomes useful within one year, is just superficial, and has no medicinal effect."
