Chapter 830
Supplying Wild Ganoderma
Back in Dongjiang, Lin Shan and Xu Bo'an did agree that if they were to open a hotel together in the future, Lin Shan would own 30% of the shares and Xu Bo'an would own 70%.
However, since Lin Shan obtained the agency rights for Xu Bo'an's hangover remedy, he has made a lot of money. In addition, Lin Shan thought of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory, which Lin Kangtai and Xu Bo'an opened together. In order to cooperate with Xu Bo'an, Lin Kangtai only kept 10% of the shares for himself. Although on the surface it seems that Lin Kangtai suffered a loss.
However, Lin Shan and Lin Kangtai had known each other for a long time. He knew better than anyone that although Lin Kangtai only owned 10% of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory, the money Lin Kangtai was now making was probably more than he had made during the peak of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory.
Therefore, from Lin Kangtai's personal perspective, although he only owns 10% of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory's shares, he has gained more substantial profits than before!
Someone like Xu Bo'an, who possesses both resources and exceptional abilities, would never have been my partner if I hadn't known him for a long time and become such a good friend with him. There would probably be a line of people waiting to work with him that stretches to outer space!
Now that he was so fortunate to be able to cooperate with Xu Bo'an, and having learned from Lin Kangtai's experience, Lin Shan made the same decision as Lin Kangtai.
That's why Lin Shan changed the previously agreed-upon shareholder ratio. After all, someone as capable as Xu Bo'an could make a fortune even with just a small share, so what's wrong with giving Xu Bo'an a little more?
You have to give to receive. This approach will not only make Xu Bo'an happy, but also further strengthen the relationship between you!
After all, doing business is about long-term sustainability. If you want to use someone else's resources, you have to give them as many benefits as possible and let them have absolute control. That way, they will think of you again in the future!
Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Lin Shan said, "Brother Bo'an, this is not a mistake, I wrote it this way on purpose!"
Xu Bo'an said, "No, Brother Lin, we already agreed to this before, so why are you changing it?"
Lin Shan smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "We agreed before, that was because you gave me, Old Lin, face. I've already made a lot of money by distributing your hangover remedy. If I take another 30% of the shares if we open a hotel together, wouldn't that be too irresponsible? Besides, for the hotel to stand out, it has to rely on the unique features of the wild Ganoderma you provide, so you should take the majority share!"
Xu Bo'an declined, saying, "Brother Lin, with our relationship, it's not that important who gets what percentage. This distribution ratio is too unbalanced!"
Lin Shan said, "I know that with your abilities, Brother Bo'an, you won't care too much about the money the hotel makes, but I need you to have absolute control of the hotel so that I can show my sincerity in cooperating with you!"
Xu Bo'an said, "We've been together for so long, do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? There's really no need for this!"
Lin Shan said to Xu Bo'an, "Alright, I think this is suitable. It puts my mind at ease. If you come across any new things like wild Ganoderma lucidum in the future, remember to come to me again so we can work together to expand the hotel to all parts of the country!"
Seeing that Lin Shan had made up his mind, and considering that even if Lin Shan only owned 10% of the hotel's shares, he would definitely not suffer losses by following him, Xu Bo'an stopped making excuses and said to Lin Shan, "Alright, if this makes you feel more secure, then let's do it this way!"
After saying that, he signed his name on the contract.
Xu Bo'an then handed the contract to Lin Shan and said, "From now on, the operation and management of the hotel will be a lot of work for you!"
Lin Shan smiled and said, "It's my good fortune to be able to cooperate with you, Brother Bo'an. This is what I should do!"
After chatting for a while, Xu Bo'an left Lin Shan's room.
Thinking about providing wild Ganoderma lucidum for his hotel as soon as possible, Xu Bo'an did not return to the room Lin Shan had specially prepared for him at the hotel. Instead, he took the elevator to the first floor, walked to his parking space outside the hotel, and drove towards the hill in the suburbs that he had previously bought from Lao Mao.
Because the batch of wild Ganoderma lucidum he had collected earlier was still stored in his bonsai world, he couldn't very well just go to the warehouse and take it out. After all, the warehouse stored a lot of things and was definitely equipped with many cameras. If he took the wild Ganoderma lucidum directly from the bonsai world in the warehouse, people would think he was a monster! And then he wouldn't be able to explain himself!
Xu Bo'an's mountain in Jiangcheng City was not only sparsely populated, but it was also his own little world where no one would disturb him!
So Xu Bo'an decided to go to that mountain to find an empty room, take out a batch of wild Ganoderma lucidum from the bonsai world, and then find a car to transport them to their hotel!
This way, it will be safer and more conservative!
About half an hour later, Xu Bo'an drove to the mountain pass. He continued driving to the closest entrance to the mountain. Because a short section of the road was too narrow for the car to pass, Xu Bo'an parked the car and walked into the mountain.
Although Xu Bo'an had already selected a construction company to renovate this place under Qu Feifan's guidance a couple of days ago, it was not yet time to start construction, so there was no one on the mountain at the moment. This was just right for Xu Bo'an to take the wild Ganoderma lucidum out of the bonsai world.
Xu Bo'an walked for less than ten minutes to reach the row of houses at the innermost part of the mountain. After entering the house and closing the door, he took out the batch of wild Ganoderma lucidum he had received last time from the bonsai world and transformed it to the size of the real world.
Then large, very appealing wild Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms appeared in the open space inside the house. Xu Bo'an roughly estimated that they weighed about 200 kilograms.
At first, Xu Bo'an planned to take the wild Ganoderma lucidum out of the bonsai world and then hire a transport vehicle to transport it to their own hotel, "Shengshi Huangting Hotel".
Now it seems completely unnecessary, because he discovered that he could easily fit 200 kilograms of wild Ganoderma lucidum into his pickup truck.
Xu Bo'an then carefully packed the wild Ganoderma lucidum into several large bags, locked the door, and went to rest in the next room.
Nothing happened that night. When Xu Bo'an woke up the next day, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning. There was nothing important to do today, and it was not advisable to deliver this batch of wild Ganoderma lucidum to his hotel too early. After all, he had just told Lin Shan last night that he was going to send Ganoderma lucidum. If he delivered it early in the morning, it might cause people to think too much.
Perhaps this was just Bo'an's own thought, since Xu Bo'an himself had something to hide. In any case, when using things from the bonsai world, Xu Bo'an had to maintain a high degree of caution. Even if it meant more work for him, he couldn't let anyone suspect anything, much less arouse any suspicion about him. After lingering on the mountain for a while, Xu Bo'an finally put the pre-packaged Ganoderma lucidum into his pickup truck.
He then drove to his hotel. When he arrived at the hotel, it was not yet 11 o'clock. Xu Bo'an called Lin Shan to tell him that the wild Ganoderma lucidum had arrived, and then waited in the hotel lobby.
Lin Shan arrived shortly after. Upon seeing Xu Bo'an, he said with great delight, "Brother Bo'an, we were just talking about wild Ganoderma lucidum yesterday, and you've already delivered it today. Your efficiency is truly remarkable!"
Xu Bo'an laughed and casually made up a story: "Brother Lin, I started preparing for this when you called me a few days ago to say that the hotel was going to open. Wild Ganoderma lucidum is in high demand. I had already told him to reserve some for us in advance. It's been several days and my friend only just delivered it to me!"
For Xu Bo'an, obtaining wild Ganoderma lucidum was incredibly easy, but he could only convey to others that wild Ganoderma lucidum wasn't so easy to come by.
Things that are not easy to obtain are often cherished more.
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Lin Shan said, "Yes, wild Ganoderma lucidum is extremely precious. It's already quite remarkable that you have such a channel! Good things come to those who wait, as long as we can receive the goods, that's all that matters!"
Xu Bo'an nodded and said to Lin Shan, "Yes, although it's true that good things come to those who wait, our hotel is now officially open. In the future, when we're running out of wild Ganoderma lucidum, let me know so I can tell my friend in advance and ask him to prepare as soon as possible so that our hotel doesn't run out of supplies!"
After listening to Xu Bo'an's words, Lin Shan said, "It's alright. Wild Ganoderma lucidum is too precious and rare. It's perfectly normal for the supply to be interrupted occasionally. Just consider it as a form of scarcity marketing when the supply is interrupted!"
Xu Bo'an laughed and said to Lin Shan, "Haha, I have to say, Brother Lin, you really have experience!"
Lin Shan said, "Brother Bo'an, you flatter me!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Brother Lin is excellent, there's no need to be too modest with me. Oh, by the way, that batch of wild Ganoderma lucidum is in my car right now."
Lin Shan said, "Okay, I'll have someone move it to the warehouse right away!"
After saying that, Lin Shan took out his phone and called the person in charge of the warehouse, instructing them to come and move things.
Soon after, the warehouse staff appeared in the hall, and then the group walked together to where Xu Bo'an had parked his car and carried the wild Ganoderma lucidum into the warehouse.
When Lin Shan opened the bags of wild Ganoderma lucidum, he was stunned. He saw that each of the wild Ganoderma lucidum in each bag was like a work of art carefully sculpted by nature, with a natural and unique shape. Each cap was wide and flat, like a small open umbrella. Looking around, the diameter of each Ganoderma lucidum cap was about 15 centimeters, and none of them were small.
Lin Shan casually took one out of the bag and gently touched the cap of the wild Ganoderma lucidum. He could feel its hard and rough texture and smelled a unique and rich fragrance. This fragrance was fresh and natural, not pungent at all, but unforgettable.
Lin Shan was amazed to see such a high-quality wild Ganoderma lucidum. Although Xu Bo'an had shown Lin Shan a wild Ganoderma lucidum before at the Royal Dynasty Hotel in Dongjiang, the one Xu Bo'an showed Lin Shan last time was just a single wild Ganoderma lucidum. The growth of that patch of wild Ganoderma lucidum was enough to surprise Lin Shan greatly.
But now, seeing so many wild Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, all of which were similar in type and size to the one Xu Bo'an had shown him last time, Lin Shan was astonished that all of them were of such high quality. It wasn't difficult to pick out a good wild Ganoderma lucidum from a pile of them.
After all, wild Ganoderma lucidum is extremely rare, so the value of such a high-quality wild Ganoderma lucidum is even more immeasurable!
Lin Shan knew about the price of Ganoderma lucidum. He had previously bought the most common Ganoderma lucidum for between 130 and 200 yuan per kilogram, while the price of high-quality Ganoderma lucidum usually ranged from 600 to 8,000 yuan.
Lin Shan had never seen any Ganoderma lucidum of superior quality that Xu Bo'an had supplied. He estimated that a pound of such high-quality wild Ganoderma lucidum would cost at least two or three thousand yuan!
Lin Shan looked at Xu Bo'an excitedly and said, "Brother Bo'an, the quality of this batch of Ganoderma lucidum is amazing! I have never seen such top-quality Ganoderma lucidum before!"
Xu Bo'an said calmly, "Is that so? If you really think this batch of Ganoderma lucidum is of very good quality, then I'll just have my friend supply Ganoderma lucidum of the same quality in the future!"
Lin Shan said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother Bo'an, this batch of Ganoderma lucidum must be very expensive. If it is, having your friend supply some that are two grades lower in quality will be more than enough!"
When Xu Bo'an obtained this batch of Ganoderma lucidum from the Bonsai World, the peach tree had already helped him classify it. The Ganoderma lucidum that Xu Bo'an supplied to his own hotel was already considered the worst type, but it became a top-quality product in Lin Shan's place. It seems that the two types of Ganoderma lucidum that he put in the Bonsai World are even more valuable.
Thinking about this made Xu Bo'an quite happy, but of course he couldn't tell anyone about it.
After a small moment of joy, Xu Bo'an said to Lin Shan, "It's alright, Brother Lin. My friend here is a very good friend of mine. He supplies this kind of top-grade Ganoderma lucidum at a relatively low price, so it's quite cost-effective. Our hotel needs to use the best to quickly build our reputation and attract more people!"
Lin Shan said, "Yes, good quality is certainly very important, but if the cost of this batch of Ganoderma lucidum is too high, the price will have to be increased accordingly. We can't let you lose money!" (End of Chapter)
