Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Six

After chatting with Shen Yuerong, Long Xiaoshan hung up and then called Ye Feng.

Ye Feng answered, "Mr. Long, I was just thinking about calling you. I didn't expect you to call first."

"Oh, Secretary Ye, is there something you need?"

"You go first, Mr. Long."

"I'm calling to express my gratitude. That road in our village—it was specially approved by you, right?" Long Xiaoshan said.

"So that's what this is about. Mr. Long, you're being too polite. It's just a road, and it's nothing compared to a man's life," Ye Feng replied continuously.

"Although it's just a road, for the villagers, it's a path to wealth," Long Xiaoshan said with a sigh.

"The development of the rural economy is our current priority."

Ye Feng continued, "Mr. Long, the health food ingredients used at Lily Hotel come from you, right?"

"Yes," Long Xiaoshan admitted without denial.

This wasn't any secret.

Ye Feng said, "Your products really have great benefits. My father can't stop praising them. The prospects are limitless. Brother Guu has been looking for projects, and after searching, he took a liking to yours. He came to me asking who supplied those fruits and vegetables. Since this is your doing, I haven't told him yet."

"Gu Jingheng?" Long Xiaoshan asked.

"Yes, him. These past few days have been quite bothersome. If you don't mind, shall I tell him?"

"Well, I have his number, I'll talk to him directly."

"That's great, you two get in touch. Brother Guu has money to spare, so don't be shy with him," Ye Feng said, laughing.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After hanging up, Long Xiaoshan called Gu Jingheng.

"Brother Xiaoshan," Gu Jingheng's voice came through from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Guu, are you looking for the source of Lily Hotel's ingredients?"

"How did you know?"

"Secretary Ye told me. You can stop searching; those ingredients are provided by me."

"What?" Gu Jingheng's tone became excited, "You're the one providing those ingredients?"

"It's me."

"That's great, Xiaoshan, where do you grow those products?"

"I'm in Longyang Village."

"Alright, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone.

Gu Jingheng wasted no time in having someone drive him to Longyang Village at the fastest speed.

After getting out of the car, his face was pale.

He hadn't expected Longyang Village to be such a place; the road had nearly jostled his insides out.

"Brother Guu," Long Xiaoshan greeted him at the entrance of the village.

Gu Jingheng gave a wry smile, "Xiaoshan, it's quite hard to find your place."

"Haha," Long Xiaoshan patted Gu Jingheng, and a surge of power alleviated that nauseating, dizzy feeling.

"Come on, let me show you around."

Long Xiaoshan said to Gu Jingheng.

"Xiaoshan, why is it so run-down here?" Gu Jingheng asked, looking around the village skeptically. He believed that with Long Xiaoshan's abilities, he shouldn't be staying in such a place.

"We're still developing. It will get better gradually," Long Xiaoshan said with a smile.

He then took Gu Jingheng to the farm.

Looking at the farm, Gu Jingheng's eyes shone as he said, "Are these the ingredients you supply to Lily Hotel?"

"Yes!"

Without minding his suit and leather shoes, Gu Jingheng went up the mountain and upon seeing those vigorously growing vegetables and fruits, and the big fish and prawns in the ponds, he showed a satisfied smile.

He came down and said, "Xiaoshan, I've eaten at Lily Hotel for several days now, and your vegetables, as well as the farmed fish and shrimp are fantastic, especially their health-preserving qualities—it's incredible. To be honest, selling such things in a small county town is a sheer waste. The prices are way too low. Xiaoshan, I hope you can let me handle these agricultural products. I can guarantee that I'll sell your products to Hong Kong Island and various big cities, and even overseas."

The Guu Family is among the top three families on Hong Kong Island.

And Gu Jingheng is known as a managerial genius among the second generation of the Guu Family, earning him the nickname "little Superman."

Therefore, his channels are much stronger than those of Lily Hotel.

And so is his vision.

Because he had experienced the power of these vegetables firsthand, he understood their value. To say the least, this was a huge gold mine.

There was another reason.

Old Master Guu of the Guu Family was already very old and in poor health, at an age for retirement.

But Old Master Guu was a man of charisma and had four mistresses when he was young.

And they bore him a bunch of children.

For powerful families, outsiders only see the glitz, but they themselves know the bitterness within.

Although Gu Jingheng was a business prodigy, he was the youngest, and the influence of his mother's wing was the weakest. Now, to fight for the position of the next Family Head of the Guu Family, all the descendants were showing off their "Divine Skills." Old Master Guu was watching from above, and whoever stood out could very likely take over the family.

That's why Gu Jingheng had come to the mainland to search for opportunities.

Currently, he had the least capital at hand. To make achievements that would overshadow the other wings of the family, he had to find that kind of project that would cause a sensation.

He had searched high and low and hadn't expected to find it in this small county town.

With his exceptional insight, he was certain this was the project he was looking for, one that would definitely help him win the family strife within the Guu Family.

"Brother Guu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but all these vegetables and fish and shrimp are already supplied to the Lily Hotel. When they first came in, they invested ten million and took a ten percent stake in the farm, and they also have a priority supply right."

"What, just ten million for ten percent of the shares?"

Gu Jingheng's eyes widened.

The products of this farm were truly unique.

Take the prawns sold at Lily Hotel, for example, 1888 for one. Once he gets them out to some of the larger cities, those circles of rich folks, he was sure the price could be increased tenfold or even a hundredfold and there would still be buyers.

Money is nothing; those things that could rejuvenate a man's vigor and also beautify the skin without any side effects could definitely fetch a sky-high price.

"Xiaoshan, oh Xiaoshan, I don't know what to say to you," Gu Jingheng said with a pained expression, "Forget ten million, even one billion would be too cheap for those shares."

Long Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Brother Guu, it's not like that either. They were the first to come in, and without them, the farm couldn't have developed."

Long Xiaoshan didn't really care.

To him, there were plenty of other ways to make money if he really wanted to.

For example, Dragon Spirit Pharmaceuticals' Beautifying Water and facial masks.

The farm's main purpose was to help the villagers of Longyang Village.

"Xiaoshan, is there really no way?"

"The current produce has all been taken up by them, but the farm is still going to expand. There's still a lot of land in the village that could be consolidated," Xiaoshan replied.

Gu Jingheng looked toward Longyang Village and asked, "How much land does your village have?"

"There should be a total of ten thousand mu."

Gu Jingheng's eyes lit up, "Then you could grow the same produce on all that land?"

After calculating for a moment, Long Xiaoshan replied, "Pretty much."

Gu Jingheng's gaze became more intense as he said, "Xiaoshan, if I were to invest ten billion to help you expand, could you give me ten percent of the shares?"
