Chapter 106: Half-Moon Appointment
Liang Jiang dismissed it: "Contacts? Officials above the court can't use medicinal materials as food, right? You limit the needs of your business to such a small group. , no wonder the road becomes narrower and narrower.
If the whole of Chang'an and all the people in the world are our customers, why worry about not having business? "
Mr. Liang was disdainful: "That's easy to say. What does a little girl know?"
"I don't know anything else, but I know some medical skills."
"Niece, please see clearly. This is a medicine shop, not a drug store. We don't bother doing those small businesses. Could it be that you want to ask my sister-in-law to sit in the clinic and sell medicines in person?"
Liangjiang did not refute his words: "When my second uncle mentioned my grandma, he should naturally remember why the military camp purchases these medicinal materials every year, right?"
Mr. Liang was suddenly speechless.
Of course he knew that the large quantities of these medicinal materials purchased in the military camp every year were actually due to the prescriptions left by Mrs. Liang back then.
Use this recipe to make golden sore medicine, which can quickly stop bleeding, heal wounds, reduce infection, and is easy to carry.
So even though Mrs. Liang was not in Beijing, the military camp still continued to make medicine according to the original prescription every year. These raw materials are the main medicinal materials of the medicine store.
Liangjiang hit the nail on the head: "If my mother-in-law now has a better pharmaceutical recipe with lower production cost, and the medicinal materials required are not these, then shopkeeper Liu, all the medicinal materials you have hoarded will be useless."
Shopkeeper Liu's heart suddenly lifted.
Liang Jiang's words were not bragging. Mrs. Liang's medical skills in dealing with trauma were almost unparalleled in Shangjing. She had such influence in the military camp. Letting yourself lose everything this year is just a matter of words.
Liang Erye sarcastically said: "No matter how good my sister-in-law's recipe is and how low the cost, it is not up to you to decide whether to use it or not. After all, the interests involved are very deep and you don't understand.
Also, do you think that because of your feud with General Tong, the military will adopt your new recipe? "
Liang Jiang took out the waist badge awarded by the Queen Mother from his waist, and slapped it on the table: "The King of Hell is so hard to deal with, so why don't I go directly to the real owner?
What if I directly make these medicinal materials into The finished medicine, after excluding the part of the profit that has been raised by the Ministry of War, is delivered to the Queen Mother at a price that is nearly 30 to 40% lower than the original prescription. Do you think the Queen Mother will agree? "
The three of them fell silent for a moment.
Liang Jiang’s move is undoubtedly to cut off Mr. Liang’s financial path! Leaving the three of them with nowhere to go.
The guys, who just now were gearing up to leave the medicine store with the three of them and find another job, have already started to continue their work, but they are still watching the development from a distance.
Mr. Liang said with a smile on his face: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. You dare to make an enemy of the entire military department. How far do you think you can go?"
"Second uncle, don't forget that I, Liangjiang, now own half of Fucheng with my own strength. You can take over the Ministry of War with the help of the Duke's Mansion. Is there nothing I, the princess, can do?"
Liang Jiang said in a deep voice: "Shopkeepers Zhao and Shopkeeper Liu, please think twice about disbanding. After all, sometimes, giving others a chance to prove themselves also gives you an opportunity to make a fortune. You can't miss it." ah."
Shopkeepers Zhao and Liu looked at each other: "But you just said that Chang'an may have to rest and recuperate in the next few years and no longer launch wars. So even if you can successfully replace it, you may not be able to make a profit."
Liang Jiang smiled slightly: "As I said just now, we must take a long-term and broad view, and we cannot hang ourselves on a tree."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Liang had spent a long time trying to persuade his two partners to withdraw their shares and establish a medical store. Liang Jiang could convince them in just a few words and shake their determination.
He hurriedly interrupted: "Who can't talk big and brag? It's better to lead the mule or the horse for a walk." Shopkeeper Zhao nodded: "That is, what kind of plans the princess has, please tell us something, so that we can make calculations Calculate whether it is profitable.”
Liang Jiang slowly stuck out her lips: "If you are poor, you want to change and transform."
“What does transformation mean?”
"It's about changing the business type." Liang Jiang said firmly: "Build a pharmacy, use my mother's prescriptions and the miracle doctor's signature, and make the medicinal materials we stocked up into pills that benefit the common people. The price is slightly lower than the retail price, and we purchase in bulk. Various pharmacies.”
"Just like Jiuxinwan?"
Liang Jiang nodded: "My mother has many prescriptions for treating typhoid fever, diarrhea, thirst, heart disease, headache and other diseases. They are made into Chinese patent pills, which are easy to carry and take, and will definitely be popular."
Mr. Liang said disdainfully: "To treat a disease, we need to take pulses. Thousands of people have tried their best. How can we generalize and say that one pill can cure all diseases? It's a joke."
Shopkeeper Zhao was also categorical: "What Mr. Liang said is absolutely true. Transforming the operation of a medicine store cannot be done overnight. It requires long-term planning and investment. Please forgive me for not being optimistic about the princess's plan."
Liang Jiang looked at Shopkeeper Liu: "What do Shopkeeper Liu think?"
Shopkeeper Liu was a little hesitant.
He naturally had deep faith in Mrs. Liang's medical skills, and Liang Jiang held his lifeline. He was worried that if Mrs. Liang took action, wouldn't all the medicinal materials he had grown fall into his hands, and the bamboo basket would be empty?
Furthermore, he inquired about Liang Jiang's details in advance and learned that she was actually the city lord who could make Fucheng tremble whenever she stamped her foot in Fucheng. He was still in awe of Liangjiang's character.
So he hesitated and said: "The princess's idea is good, but as shopkeeper Zhao said, we can't get back the money in the short term. I'm afraid the investment is too big and I won't be able to withstand it."
Liangjiang said confidently: "If Shopkeeper Liu believes me, before the pharmaceutical workshop makes a profit, the pharmacy will have enough orders to maintain the basic operation of the pharmacy."
Shopkeeper Liu weighed the pros and cons in his mind and gritted his teeth: "If the princess can get enough orders within a month, I am willing to take a gamble."
Liang Jiang was very sure: "Why one month? Half a month is enough."
Shopkeeper Zhao stood up in confusion: "Old Liu, are you stupid or crazy? You actually believe this woman's words? Do you want to part ways with me?"
"Brother Zhao is serious. I think what the princess said is quite reasonable. Why don't we give her half a month. After half a month, it won't be too late to make plans."
Mr. Liang also hummed and stood up: "It's true that the strong wind knows the strong grass and can see the heart of the people at the critical moment. Some people just see profit and forget their loyalty. They ignore the brotherhood for many years. Why does Shopkeeper Zhao need to talk to him?"
Shopkeeper Zhao agreed: "I don't object if you want to continue to stay in the medicine shop, but you can talk ugly things up front. Mr. Liang and I want to set up a separate business and open a medicine shop.
Then I have to take away all the original customers of this medicine shop, including Renhetang. Their shopkeeper and I are close friends. It is a friendship that I spent money to maintain. That’s why in the past two years, I have taken such good care of our business and paid high prices for our business. Restock.
As soon as I leave, the medicine store will not even have any business, and the medicinal materials will be hoarded and cannot be sold. You just follow the northwest wind!
If you regret it and come to us for cooperation again, if we reject you outright, don’t blame us for being unkind. "
Liang Jiang's eyes tightened: "The shopkeeper of Renhetang, I happen to have some connections with him, so I'm afraid you won't be able to take this business with me, shopkeeper Zhao!"
