Jiuhuai Mountain in Youcheng lay southwest of the county seat. It was a very remote mountain range.
The temperature here was low, and the area was covered in lush coniferous and broadleaf forests. Because of the terrain, there were many shaded slopes and slopes facing away from the sun.
Although the place was remote and barren, its soil was loose and fertile, with good drainage and ventilation.
This kind of soil was ideal for growing ginseng.
Growing ginseng in the mountains also had an advantage: it could be planted directly without cutting down trees or damaging the vegetation.
So after Chu Yue took charge of Qinglin Pharmaceutical, he secured a contract for Jiuhuai Mountain to cultivate Eye-Brightening White Ginseng seeds once he obtained them from Qin Lin.
Because Eye-Brightening White Ginseng had an exceptionally short growth cycle, the crop growing on Jiuhuai Mountain now wasn't the first batch.
The earlier crops had naturally been used to cultivate more seeds.
Several cars quickly entered Jiuhuai Mountain along a narrow path.
Inside one of them, Chu Yue introduced the place to Qin Lin. "Chairman Qin, this Jiuhuai Mountain plantation was the first one we contracted. The Eye-Brightening White Ginseng planted here has indeed been the first to mature."
"Besides Jiuhuai Mountain, we have six other plantations in Youcheng. We've also sent people to other parts of Mingshi to survey the area and look for suitable sites."
"Mm." Qin Lin nodded.
He had been keeping an eye on Qinglin Pharmaceutical, and Chu Yue had done a very good job. Naturally, the main reason was that Hot Spring Powder was such a good product.
Even though Qinglin Pharmaceutical currently lacked enough materials and factory capacity, limiting its output, its revenue this year could still exceed fifty billion yuan from domestic and overseas markets combined.
