Chapter 434: That Person’s My Teacher (Part One)
“It’s normal that you don’t understand tea.” Lin Han brought the package to his nose, sniffed on the faint fragrance that was still lingering on it, and said, “If this tea is the real deal, then the one drinking this must have a big background. This tea is called Da Hong Pao, but Da Hong Pao refers to both the variety that was mass-cultivated by people and the variety that grew on Wuyi Mountain. If it’s the former, then it would naturally not be a big deal. It would still be expensive and scarce, and the packages with the special supply seal would also be of the best quality of the batch that was specially prepared for high government officials. However, if it was the latter type that is naturally grown on those few organic plants on Wuyi Mountain, then its level of scarcity would only make it available for the older generation of high government officials or business giants that had supported the country during the big wars. If it’s marked special supply, it doesn’t matter whether the tea was from the former or the latter, those that can get their hands on it has to be at least the highest or second-highest officials of the city, and it has to be provincial cities like Shangcheng.”
Lin Dong mumbled, “No wonder they only put in a few leaves in the cup when making the tea, and I was still calling them stingy… Damn, what an embarrassment, it turns out that this tea is this high-level!”
Young Master Lin curiously asked, “Dad, is this the legendary special supply tea? The tea that can’t even be bought with money because despite it having a price tag, there’s no supply?”
Lin Han nodded. “This tea is usually sold in grams, and those from the original plants on Wuyi Mountain, the tea there were already hyped up on the market to 200 thousand yuan per gram.”
Lin Han then suddenly realized what Lin Dong was mumbling and he immediately asked, “Did you offend that friend too?”
Lin Dong said nonchalantly, “Oh, nah, I just made a fool of myself and said that I would buy him a truckload. They said that if I can even get a pound, they would count it as a win for me.”
Lin Han immediately said, “Not to mention a pound, even if you can get 50 grams, you would already be very capable, because this tea from Wuyi Mountain’s annual production is just shy of 400 grams.”
Lin Han then anxiously asked, “So who is this guy? How come Dad never heard of you mentioning him? How about… you call him over for some tea?”
“You want to ask him for help?” Lin Dong saw right through his dad. He said, “But, this is a business issue, not politics. You also said that those people have big political backgrounds, not business. How can they help?”
“You don’t know the poor sucks up to the rich and the rich sucks up to the officials? Officials and businesses are deeply connected, and sometimes, it’s just a matter of a word from the official. You also saw, the ones that shut down our factory are officials. I feel that we can go to that friend of yours for help,” Lin Han patiently explained to Lin Dong.
“Never mind then,” Lin Dong shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
