In addition, other products that needed to be purchased included protective glasses, safety helmets, welder masks, etc.

After the visit, Cao Weiguo discussed this procurement with Factory Director Chen and Deputy Factory Director Shen.

After finishing the business, Cao Weiguo asked Factory Director Chen where he could buy wild ginseng.

Factory Director Chen said enthusiastically: "Section Chief Cao wants to buy ginseng, this is simple, I'll make a phone call to the supply and marketing cooperative, and you can go there directly by my car in a while."

Cao Weiguo said happily: "Thank you, Factory Director Chen."

Factory Director Chen: "You're welcome."

Factory Director Chen made a phone call, contacted the supply and marketing cooperative, and had the driver, Xiao Fang, drive the car over.

Cao Weiguo rode Factory Director Chen's small jeep straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

With Factory Director Chen's introduction, Director Sun of the supply and marketing cooperative was also very enthusiastic.

As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.

This area relied on the Changbai Mountains, so ginseng was naturally not lacking, and they even worried about not being able to sell it.

In this day and age, many people were still worrying about having enough to eat, and the money and tickets in their hands were not enough to buy food, and their stomachs were not full, so where would they have spare money to buy ginseng to nourish their bodies?

Everyone knew that ginseng was a good thing, but when they were hungry, no matter how good the thing was, it was not as fragrant as white flour buns.

Therefore, during this period, except for export, except for a very small number of people or those who needed to buy ginseng because of illness, few ordinary people would pay to buy it, so that the ginseng in the supply and marketing cooperative was too much to sell, and it was backlogged because there was no sales volume.

Ginseng was also a precious medicinal material, it was impossible to throw it away for nothing, but its storage and preservation were laborious and expensive, requiring temperature and humidity requirements, and it had to be protected against insects, rats, and moths... all of which required manpower and material resources.

Because the supply and marketing cooperative was not a private enterprise, it belonged to the state's assets and had to strictly abide by the rules and regulations. It was impossible to sell at a low price, so that these ginsengs were backlogged more and more, making the director of the supply and marketing cooperative under great pressure.

Not being able to sell was not his responsibility, but if it was moth-eaten, bitten by rats, moldy, or damaged, that was his responsibility.

So when he learned that Cao Weiguo wanted to buy ginseng, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative was too happy to be happy.

Although happy, the procedures that should be followed still had to be followed.

Money and tickets could not be less, and besides, ginseng belonged to precious medicinal materials, so it was also necessary to explain the purpose, control the quantity... ===== CHAPTER 1275 =====
