Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

"As you wish, I will not cause trouble for those Chinese merchants, nor will I cause you any disruption during the event."

"But right now I just want to confirm one thing: is our matsutake mushroom production really 30 tons less this month?"

In the room at the exhibition center, Morgan looked intently at Bianchi and asked the question that concerned him most at that moment.

As a seasoned businessman, he didn't dwell on the fact that his efforts to suppress the Dragon Kingdom's competitors had failed.

Instead, they keenly sensed an even bigger business opportunity from the information revealed by Bianchi.

As a matsutake mushroom merchant, he knew very well how much wealthy people in Europe loved matsutake mushrooms.

Matsutake mushroom production may decrease, but the market will not disappear.

Having obtained firsthand information, he could have gone to China to purchase a large quantity of high-quality, inexpensive matsutake mushrooms before other merchants reacted to the price increase.

They label these products as European and resell them in various EU countries, making a fortune in the process.

That's why his gaze suddenly became incredibly intense.

Upon hearing Morgan's question, Bianchi turned the chair he was sitting in. The large chair blocked some of the light from the side, leaving a half-lit and half-shadowed silhouette.

"These are the results that our agricultural survey organizations just compiled this morning. The exact figures are not accurate; they may be less than 30 tons or more than 30 tons."

"But overall, the reduction in matsutake mushroom production in the EU is an undeniable fact."

"You should have noticed something when you were buying matsutake mushrooms this year," Bianchi said.

"That's right, I received 10% fewer matsutake mushrooms this year than last year," Morgan said with some emotion. "I originally thought it was because some of my partners were unlucky this year, but it turns out that everyone else also had fewer matsutake mushrooms."

"Based on the current situation, the EU's matsutake mushroom production may decrease by about 100 tons this year."

"This is a very serious problem, because the EU's total matsutake mushroom production last year was only about 500 tons."

"As a businessman, you should know the opportunities here better than I do," Bianchi said.

"Baron, besides me, is there anyone else who knows about this news?" Morgan asked excitedly.

"My friend, I've only told you this information so far, but you should also know that other high-ranking members of the organization must have this data as well," Bianchi said.

"My friends, and their friends, and perhaps some of my friends have told their friends the news, just as I'm telling you now."

"So I regret to inform you that you are not the only businessman who knows inside information."

"Understood, Mr. Baron. Please allow me to express my sincere respect to you once again."

"I think I should go now, and speed things up."

After obtaining useful market information from Bianchi, Lis Morgan suddenly stood up and bid farewell to the Baron.

"Wait a minute, Morgan."

"You forgot something."

In the instant he turned around, Baron Bianchi suddenly called out to Morgan, gesturing to the valuable gift box on the table.

The Baron had his principles. Since he had failed to suppress Yang Lin's team, he naturally would not continue to accept gifts from Morgan.

"Once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back."

"Baron, I think you may have misunderstood something," Morgan said, stopping in his tracks with a smile.

"I never said I would use it to entrust the Baron with any business, and you never made any promises. This is just normal business between friends, isn't it?"

"Besides, the information you gave me is more valuable than this collectible to me."

Bianchi smiled upon hearing this and did not continue to refuse.

……

"I've struck gold! I've struck gold! I've struck gold!"

"Boss, we've struck it rich this time!"

After the opening day of the exhibition, Su Rong and several employees of his company took stock of the day's achievements and couldn't help but jump up and down on the spot.

Although most of the tourists are just there for the spectacle, hoping to get a bargain and try the free matsutake mushrooms.

However, among the large number of tourists, there were also quite a few representatives sent by the purchasing parties.

After tasting the matsutake mushrooms displayed by Yang Lin and others, more than a dozen tourists contacted the company to purchase their own matsutake mushrooms.

Representatives from two European catering companies have reached preliminary cooperation agreements with Yang Lin's Xianglong Company.

The other party is willing to purchase the three grades of matsutake mushrooms displayed by the company at prices of $400 per kilogram, $200 per kilogram, and $120 per kilogram, respectively.

The total purchase volume is approximately two thousand kilograms, or about two tons.

The ratio of the three qualities of matsutake mushrooms owned by the company is approximately 2 to 5 to 3.

On average, the company's matsutake mushrooms are priced at approximately $266 per kilogram.

This purchase price is already a level higher than Yang Lin's original plan of taking it all away for twenty dollars.

Although matsutake mushrooms were not anything rare to him.

As long as he has the raw materials, he can produce as much as he wants.

However, who would complain that the price of the things they sell is too high?

After all, it's a variety that can't be artificially cultivated. If he can make money with just one ton of matsutake mushrooms, there's no need for him to produce ten tons.

"The company currently has eight tons of matsutake mushrooms. If this trend continues and they're all sold off, wouldn't the boss make over two million US dollars? That's over ten million yuan in Chinese currency!"

Several money-grubbing employees even pulled out calculators to calculate how much revenue their European trip would bring in, and couldn't help but scream.

"Don't worry, I've seen how hard you've all worked. You'll all get your rewards when we get back to China," Yang Lin said with a smile to the company staff.

"Boss, you're being too polite. Our loyalty to the company is as good as day. Even if we don't have money, we'll still continue to do things for you..." Someone flattered Yang Lin, echoing his words.

Yang Lin chuckled: "Alright, then I'll take your bonus and distribute it to the others."

"No, boss, I was wrong!"

"I was just kidding, just joking..."

The sycophant quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

The other employees nearby laughed and made a fuss.

"Don't worry, I was just joking with you. I won't forget any of the people who have helped me," Yang Lin said with a laugh.

An awkward expression appeared on the man's face, but his eyes and the corners of his mouth curved into a wide smile.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Pack up and go home to rest early."

"Let's see how many of our king mushrooms we can capture tomorrow."

Just as Yang Lin's employees were packing up their booth, preparing to attend the exhibition and auction again the next day, Baron Bianchi, the manager of the event organizer, once again came to Yang Lin and his group with his entourage.
