Chapter 225 Independent packaging of Chinese medicinal materials
The current structure of each business department of Qingshan Pharmaceutical Traditional Chinese Medicine Company is relatively simple.
One part is the purchasing department and warehousing department that specializes in purchasing and storing medicinal materials;
The other part is responsible for the retail business, or the retail business department called the online sales department.
Zhang Yang drove the car directly into the parking lot of the park. After a while, Ren Xiaomin took the lead in leading Zhang Yang to the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored.
"Zhang Yang, this is the warehouse where we currently store medicinal materials!"
"This used to be the place where the previous company stored its products. After we took over, we urgently renovated and added some ventilation and dehumidification equipment. Now it has basically met the storage requirements for most Chinese herbal medicines."
"Of course, for some precious Chinese medicinal materials and Chinese medicinal materials that require higher storage requirements, I have specially arranged for people to carry out more professional renovations on another smaller warehouse next to it to ensure that we can properly store any kind of Chinese medicinal materials!"< br>
Zhang Yang nodded. He had gone to Hehua Pharmaceutical for on-site inspection before, and he also knew that Chinese medicinal materials still had certain requirements for storage in warehouses.
"Okay! Let's go in and have a look."
"Yeah."
While the two were talking, Zhang Yang walked into the warehouse first.
Looking around briefly, I saw several workers in the warehouse neatly putting together bags of white woven bags filled with medicinal materials. When my eyes moved upward, I saw a sign hanging in the air, which read The name of the Chinese medicinal material - Bupleurum.
Zhang Yang was stunned. Not only did these white woven bags look familiar, but the overall layout and details of the warehouse also seemed familiar.
After a moment, he realized that the layout of the warehouse in front of him was exactly the same as the warehouse of Hehua Pharmaceutical that he visited a few days ago.
Zhang Yang was a little surprised:
"This was all designed by Gao Dapeng?"
"Yeah."
Ren Xiaomin was obviously quite satisfied with the overall design of the warehouse, nodded and said:
“I don’t know much about the warehouse design of Chinese medicinal materials, so I left everything to Gao Dapeng and put him in charge.”
"Of course, He Ping from Hehua Pharmaceutical also came here several times and made a lot of suggestions. You can see that it was He Ping who proposed these bags of white woven bags."
“He suggested that we package all the medicinal materials purchased according to the specifications of 25kg, 50kg or 100kg before putting them into storage.”
"I just took this opportunity to check the quality of the purchased medicinal materials in more detail. After all, it is inevitable to encounter some shoddy quality in Chinese medicinal materials."
"Secondly, after being classified and packaged according to fixed specifications before entering the warehouse, it will be more convenient to take inventory or ship out the warehouse later, and the management will be more efficient."
"It's just that, from acquisition to packaging and storage, we have another process."
Of course Zhang Yang knew the benefits of doing this and waved his hand:
"If you have more people, just add more people. If you don't have enough people, just hire more people. I think this process is very necessary."
"Yeah, me too."
While talking, the two of them gradually walked deeper into the warehouse. At this moment, three workers who were carrying medicinal materials also noticed Zhang Yang and Ren Xiaomin.
One of the younger middle-aged men, who should be the team leader, recognized Ren Xiaomin.
Seeing Zhang Yang and Ren Xiaomin walking towards them while talking, he couldn't help but muster up the courage to whisper to Ren Xiaomin:
"Hello, Mr. Ren!"
Ren Xiaomin glanced at it and nodded slightly, but Zhang Yang suddenly stopped.
He looked at the three people who were carrying medicinal materials. Two of them were older, estimated to be in their 50s. The middle-aged man who just spoke was not young either, in his late 40s and almost 50 years old.
There were obvious signs of age on the faces of the three of them, and they looked a bit vicissitudes of life. Zhang Yang could tell at a glance that these three people were real working people who had done manual labor for a long time.
A smile appeared on his face and he said:
"Thank you for your hard work, how are you? Are you okay with it?"
The three of them were slightly stunned. They were just saying hello politely, but unexpectedly, Mr. Ren and the other boss actually stopped.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said to Zhang Yang:
"Boss, it's not hard, it's not hard! We can bear it, we can bear it!"
As he said that, the three of them all looked at Zhang Yang, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Ren Xiaomin on the side saw this and simply reminded:
"This is Mr. Zhang Yang, our Qingshan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., who came here specially to take a look."
Publicize Mr. Zhang!
The three of them were suddenly stunned, looking at Zhang Yang blankly and speechless for a moment!
Zhang Yang smiled instead and said:
"There is no general discussion, let's just do it, everyone, do your best!"
"Also, if you have any ideas or difficulties in the follow-up work, please raise them in time and we will find a way to solve them for you!"
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhang, thank you Mr. Ren!"
After a brief conversation, Zhang Yang and Ren Xiaomin continued walking into the warehouse, leaving behind three ordinary porters who were frightened.
Since the layout and design of the warehouse itself was designed by Gao Dapeng, a professional, and with the help of Hehua Pharmaceutical He Ping, Zhang Yang took a quick look around and was quite satisfied.
At this time, more and more employees were pushing more packaged medicinal materials to the warehouse for storage, and many people recognized Ren Xiaomin.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yang simply waved Ren Xiaomin out of the warehouse so as not to delay everyone's work.
It wasn't until he walked about ten meters out of the warehouse that Zhang Yang looked back at the employees who were busy moving in the warehouse, and then said:
"Brother Ren, ordinary employees like us also have a hard time. How much is their monthly salary? Do you know?"
Ren Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:
"Zhang Yang, to be honest, I don't know exactly how much it costs per month."
"Due to the tight timeframe for the preparation of our establishment of a 'Chinese herbal medicine sales company' this time, I handed over most of the staff recruitment work to the human resources company. The approximate cost may be around 4,000-5,000 yuan."
"Labor dispatch?"
Zhang Yang was a little surprised, but he could understand what Ren Xiaomin said.
But...
After thinking for a moment, he immediately said:
"Brother Ren, our Chinese herbal medicine company has just been established. It is indeed expedient to temporarily hand over most of the recruitment work to outsourcing companies."
"However, after the company slowly gets on the right track, we'd better gradually transform all the hard-working employees into regular employees..."
"To be honest, labor dispatch always feels unsatisfactory, and it can't build a corporate culture; we can't ask the outsourced employees to really work for the company, right?! What's more, we really don't lack this kind of money!"
"Besides, even if there is a situation where we need to fire employees, we can just compensate them in accordance with the labor law!"
"Yeah."
Ren Xiaomin nodded, but the dismissal and labor laws mentioned by Zhang Yang suddenly made them think of Beifeng Pharmaceutical.
I think Beifeng Pharmaceutical dismissed the two of them and paid full compensation, and finally Zhang Yang established Qingshan Pharmaceutical.
It's just... I haven't heard from Beifeng Pharmaceutical for a long time, and I don't know how Mr. Ding Jian Ding is doing recently. Thinking of this, the two of them glanced at each other, as if they had guessed what the other was thinking.
After a while, Ren Xiaomin smiled and said:
"Okay Zhang Yang, let's do what you said... Well, let's do this. I'll just let the news out tomorrow about our employees being promoted to regular employees. After three months, all employees who perform well can be officially transferred to Qingshan. Regular employees of the pharmaceutical industry.”
"In this way, although everyone's salary may not increase too much, the benefits will be greatly improved. I believe many employees are willing to work hard for this quota!"
"Yeah."
While the two were talking, Zhang Yang quietly changed the fate of hundreds of ordinary employees dispatched by "Qingshan Pharmaceutical Traditional Chinese Medicine Company".
At this time, the busy employees in the warehouse don't know anything. Soon they will receive news that will make them extremely excited.
After discussing the employee's regularization, Zhang Yang was immediately ready to go to the retail business department to have a look.
After all, after purchasing so many medicinal materials, they eventually need to be sold through retail.
But before he could speak, Ren Xiaomin took the lead and said:
"Zhang Yang, after reading the warehousing side, I'll take you to the retail business department. I just have something to discuss with you."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
While the two were talking, Ren Xiaomin took the lead and walked in front.
"It's like this. Didn't you say before that you would launch the retail business of Chinese herbal medicines and the business of 'prescribing prescriptions' on the retail side?"
"So, these days, when I really considered starting the business of 'prescribing on behalf of others,' I discovered a rather troublesome problem!"
“According to our traditional, offline medicine prescription business, we mix nearly a dozen or even twenty medicinal ingredients in one prescription together.”
“However, the online medicine prescription business is not as good as the offline business, and Chinese medicinal materials are very special. If the buyer says after receiving the goods that a certain medicinal material is not enough, or that a certain medicinal material is missing, he or she may even say directly The quality of our medicinal materials is not up to par,
All the medicinal materials have been mixed together, so it’s hard for us to tell clearly, right? ”
Zhang Yang was stunned, there was indeed such a risk!
"Also, our medicinal materials are all top-grade medicinal materials, and the price will definitely be more expensive than ordinary medicinal materials."
"But all the medicinal materials are mixed together. To be honest, the patients are probably worried about how expensive our medicinal materials are, and whether they are really good medicines as advertised!"
"So...all things considered, I want to put each medicinal ingredient in a small bag and sell it in an independent package!"
Small bags?
Individually packaged?
Zhang Yang didn't fully understand it for a while. Seeing this, Ren Xiaomin hurriedly said:
"Well, up ahead is our retail business department, and there happen to be some demos and samples that I specially asked people to make. You will know what is going on when you take a look!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Yang also became interested and quickly followed Ren Xiaomin towards the retail business department.
The retail business department is not far from the warehouse, in an independent three-story building.
As soon as he walked in, several employees stood up to greet Ren Xiaomin.
Ren Xiaomin responded one by one, and soon brought Zhang Yang to an office station, and then quickly picked up a small basket of individually packaged Chinese medicinal materials from the table.
Zhang Yang saw it and understood instantly.
I saw that the Chinese medicinal materials in the small basket were sealed and packaged in small plastic bags in various specifications such as 5g, 10g, 15g, etc., and the names of various medicinal materials were printed on the outer shell of the plastic packaging.
For example: 6g of licorice, 3g of Amomum villosum...
Not only that, Zhang Yang also noticed that the origin, serial number and packaging time of the medicinal materials were specially printed on the small bag packaging.
It can be said that the packaging of each bag provides complete information about the medicinal materials!
Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and at this moment, Ren Xiaomin said:
"Zhang Yang, this is what I call independent packaging in small bags!"
"Nowadays, the dosages of various medicinal materials in most Chinese herbal medicines are basically the same. For example, the common dosage of astragalus is 10 grams and 15 grams;
For example, Amomum villosum usually weighs 3 grams or 6 grams. ”
"So, we can customize Chinese herbal medicines into 5-gram packages or 10-gram packages based on common dosages."
"When the customer provides us with Chinese medicine prescriptions, we can directly send bags of individually packaged Chinese medicines!"
“After the customer receives the medicinal materials, he can just open the package and mix them together!”
"In this way, not only the hidden dangers and after-sales risks I just mentioned on the road will be eliminated, but patients can also truly feel the difference of each of our medicinal materials. Comparing them with other medicinal materials, they will know how valuable we are. , what’s so good about it!”
Zhang Yang completely understood.
Pack various Chinese medicinal materials into small bags in common dosages, and then send the corresponding medicinal materials according to the dosage on the prescription.
A medicine may be packaged in more than a dozen sachets, but for customers, they can just cut the packages and mix them together!
Convenient, clear and clean!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up a few bags in the small basket and look at them carefully. After a while, he looked up at Ren Xiaomin and couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother Ren, can't you see that you really have something?!"
"You have changed the thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine medicine preparation mode, but I have to say, this method is really good!"
Ha ha!
Ren Xiaomin also laughed:
"That's good, but if this happens, our costs will increase again."
“For this independent packaging process, we have to buy special equipment for mechanized packaging.”
Zhang Yang thought so, but compared to the benefits of independent packaging in small bags, a slight increase in cost is completely acceptable.
"Brother Ren, I'm afraid we can't save this money!"
“It’s hard for me to imagine what kind of discussion the Internet will cause when we officially put this independent pouch packaging on the shelves and appear in stores!”
"Especially other Chinese herbal medicine companies and patients, will they be surprised?"
"Haha, it's possible!"
The excellent warehouse design and the small bag packaging proposed by Ren Xiaomin made Zhang Yang's trip very rewarding, and his worries about Qingshan Pharmaceutical's "Chinese Medicinal Materials Branch" were completely put to rest.
He even began to look forward to what kind of impact it would have on the entire Chinese herbal medicine industry after the official start of sales of independently packaged Chinese herbal medicines.
But soon, after finishing the inspection of the "Chinese Medicinal Materials Branch", at one o'clock in the afternoon, he returned to the Qingshan Pharmaceutical Office.
At 1:40 p.m., Zhou Hai appeared in the office on time.
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see!"
"This time, I bring you two pieces of good news!"
