On the wall of the Anchi Village meeting room hung silk banners and certificates of award. One of them read, "Sino-Japanese Friendship and Cooperation Demonstration Unit."
There were also various other honors awarded by the local government.
Li Xu wasn't in a hurry.
He watched them haggle.
After they had argued for a while longer and had basically settled on a price, Li Xu stepped forward. "Village Chief Ma, I'd also like to purchase that twenty-mu plot of Aconite. I'll take it at the price you just agreed upon, 24 yuan per jin of fresh product, with processing fees calculated separately."
Every head in the room swiveled to look at the young man who had suddenly appeared.
Ma Jinhua looked Li Xu up and down, then asked with a frown, "Which company are you with?"
