Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, a hint of joy flashed in Li Qin's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
Li Qin's expression remained serious at this moment.
He first looked at Li Huaide, then said in a bitter tone:
"Uncle Li, the situation is no longer about money, at least not a simple matter of money."
Upon hearing this, a look of doubt flashed across Li Huaide's face.
However, before he could ask, Li Qin continued:
"After I tested the effects of the medicinal wine on those hunters last time, I told them that I wanted to take all the medicinal wines they had collected."
Even if the price is a bit higher, it doesn't matter.
A look of approval flashed across Li Huaide's face.
He was now puzzled: if that was the case, what difficulties were there?
Could it be that those hunters are asking for too much money?
However, based on Li Huaide's understanding of Li Qin, Li Qin was not the kind of person who was reluctant to spend money, and it was impossible for him not to know the value of medicinal wine.
Even if the price is a bit high, Li Qin shouldn't have any problems if he can get the medicinal wine.
Li Qin specifically set aside some time for Li Huaide to fill in the blanks in his mind.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Li Qin continued to speak;
"Although those hunters asked for a high price, I didn't think there was a problem, after all, the value of the medicinal wine is there."
What really troubled me was that these hunters said that even if they were to sell the medicinal wine, they would only agree to trade it in hard currency.
That is, gold.
Li Qin feigned difficulty on his face and said in a bitter tone:
"But gold is different from money. Although I have some money, I don't have any gold at all, so I didn't say anything more at the time."
"If Uncle Li wants to get his hands on the medicinal wine, he might need to prepare some gold."
Li Qin is not short of money; what he really cares about are hard currencies like gold and silver.
Only through certain methods can these things be transformed into special materials that can be used for gold refining.
Upon hearing that Li Qin's predicament stemmed not only from the price but also from the fact that the other party only accepted gold transactions, Li Huaide's face immediately showed a look of realization.
He had no doubt about it.
In this era, anyone with savings and the means to do so will generally choose to convert their money into gold.
This would prevent the collapse of the monetary system.
This kind of thing happened quite a few times in previous years, and it has left a shadow in the hearts of ordinary people.
If it were really just about spending money, Li Huaide wouldn't hesitate at all and would definitely let Li Qin do it immediately.
But now that gold is involved, Li Huaide hesitates.
Although he had some yellow croakers of various sizes, there weren't many.
Li Huaide felt somewhat reluctant to use the money to buy medicinal wine.
However, Li Huaide was no ordinary person.
Soon, a determined look flashed in his eyes.
Li Huaide looked at Li Qin and said seriously:
"Xiao Qin, go and communicate with them. If they are really determined to only accept gold transactions, don't let them get away with it."
He had a clear understanding: once he climbed to a higher position, getting his hands on gold would be relatively easy.
However, medicinal wine is a rare and precious thing that is hard to come by.
Moreover, once he gets his hands on the medicinal wine, if the quantity is large, he can sell some of it through various channels and convert it into gold.
"It's done!"
Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, a look of joy flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He then immediately nodded and said:
"Uncle Li, don't worry. I will try my best to communicate with them. Even if I can't change their minds in the end, I will try to lower the price of the medicinal wine."
Li Qin's face was full of determination.
"Then I'll leave this entirely to you."
Li Huaide nodded.
Upon hearing Li Qin's promise, a smile immediately appeared on Li Huaide's face.
Even the thought of having to take out his own gold didn't cause him as much heartache or reluctance.
Actually, when it comes to medicinal wine, whether it's the medicinal herbs in the raw materials, tiger bones and tiger penises, or white wine, it's all about these things.
Everything was produced by the pagoda space.
Although there are some costs involved, the actual costs are not too high.
However, Li Qin still refused to sell the medicinal wine at a low price.
He had learned from old pharmacies in Beijing that medicinal wines made from similar raw materials were very expensive.
Li Qin used higher quality materials, so the price could only be higher.
Only in this way can the value of medicinal wine be truly realized.
Chinese people have a very special habit, or rather, a characteristic;
That is to firmly believe one sentence from the bottom of your heart;
"You get what you pay for!"
If Li Qin sets the price of the medicinal wine too low, Li Huaide will start to doubt its effectiveness.
"Uncle Li, I plan to communicate more with those people in the countryside in the future. They can bring out medicinal wine now, so maybe they have other good things on them."
Li Qin suddenly spoke again.
Upon hearing this, an expression of appreciation immediately appeared on Li Huaide's face.
He had had this idea before, and originally planned to find an opportunity to teach Li Qin a lesson.
I never expected Li Qin to be so quick-witted.
They didn't need any prompting; they figured it out on their own.
Li Huaide smiled and nodded;
"Xiao Qin, it's a good idea of yours. You can try it in the future. If you can get something good, remember to show it to me."
Li Qin naturally nodded quickly:
"Don't worry, Uncle Li, if I really find anything good, I will definitely send it to you."
He said it from the bottom of his heart.
Because Li Qin did not intend to be too high-profile, he planned to distribute some good things through Li Huaide in the future.
This way, you can not only get gold, but also avoid some unnecessary attention.
Even if problems do arise, Li Huaide will be there to step up.
Of course, while the true origin of the items Li Qin produced was somewhat unclear, they were not obtained through illegal means.
Therefore, the risk is not as great as imagined.
Li Huaide will not face too much risk.
The premise is that Li Huaide doesn't go too far.
Li Qin began to ponder silently in his heart:
As he collected many interesting books, he learned some unusual things from them.
For example, alchemy.
This is knowledge that Li Qin unexpectedly learned from books he collected on the black market.
At first, Li Qin thought it would be the kind of ancient alchemy technique used to refine heavy metals.
But after Li Qin finished reading it all, he realized that he had been wrong.
The alchemy described in this book has nothing to do with heavy metals; it is more like a technique for refining medicinal materials and making pills according to certain prescriptions.
Some of the prescriptions are quite interesting.
If the finished product is actually produced, releasing it will definitely cause quite a stir.
Of course, Li Qin only has this idea roughly now, and it will take some time before he can actually take action.
Alchemy is not something you can succeed at by simply mixing together a bunch of medicinal herbs.
Instead, one must have a certain understanding and mastery of medicinal materials, cooking time, etc., before starting.
Although there are many medicinal herbs in the pagoda space that Li Qin can use, he still cannot waste them too much.
After all, cultivating medicinal herbs is completely different from growing grains.
Li Qin would not start refining pills casually until he had mastered the basic knowledge and techniques.
