"As we all know, the military state is the largest producer and consumer of traditional Chinese medicine outside the empire."
"The Kampo medicine market size is about more than 10 billion, accounting for 2% of the military medicine market."
"Moreover, the traditional Chinese medicines sold to military countries and Europe are of the highest quality, and are usually tested for more than 200 pesticide indicators. However, most of the medicinal materials currently circulating in the country are not tested for pesticide indicators. In other words, there are no pesticide indicators. Medication."
Xia Ye was explaining to Jiang Mu the embarrassing aspects of the current Chinese medicine industry.
"Do you know the Sporex tablets of Will, what are their main ingredients?"
"Arborvitae leaf, pseudoindigo root, echinacea silver, ascorbic acid."
"That's right, it's Chinese medicine."
"Such medicines are sold like crazy in the empire!"
"Not only Europeans do this, but military people also do it. They use the empire's medicine, package and produce it themselves, and then sell it to the empire at a high price and charge an IQ tax. The most ridiculous thing is that the medicine they produce is better than the medicine we produce. , much more effective.”
Xia Ye smiled bitterly.
At this moment, he was holding Qiqi and resting at home.
In her spare time, Xia Ye also learns about the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
This is also an important reason why he started Tai Chi Pharmaceutical Factory.
"I want the people of the Empire to be able to afford effective medicines and use good medicines!"
"Don't rush to make money first, let the people of the empire recognize it as important first, and build national self-confidence."
"Good Chinese medicinal materials can even cure cancer, but if you take them to Western medicine, they will be helpless."
"It's very simple to just stick to Aconite. Good Chinese medicine, if you use it well, it is the door to Zhongjing."
"The medical sage Zhang Zhongjing established the irreplaceable position of aconite in the prevention and treatment of diseases in Treatise on Febrile Diseases. Wife, do you know how high the usage rate of aconite was in the dynasty of the medical sage? It was almost more than 80%!"
"According to some modern case records that study the mysteries of Zhang Zhongjing's thoughts and medical skills, aconite tastes bitter and pungent, is very hot, and is very poisonous. It can restore yang and save the day, and should not be taken by those with yin deficiency and excessive fire. The heat, poison, and taboos of aconite have made many practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine People are so afraid that they never dare to try Aconite themselves for the rest of their lives.”
"But the mistake lies in the understanding of Aconite. Most people in modern Chinese medicine seldom use Aconite, or even hardly use it at all. It's really ridiculous."
"On the contrary, many Kampo medicines spread overseas use Aconite very frequently. Military people and Europeans took our Kampo medicines and made more useful Chinese medicines than us. On the contrary, it was the Chinese medicine practitioners of our empire who were too mediocre. Too much!"
"The wrong soil will only give birth to wrong industry rules and standards!"
"Pharmaceutical shops want to make a lot of money by exporting traditional Chinese medicine to the military, but in fact, what they end up destroying is their own traditional Chinese medicine."
"TCM is also ruined by these people."
Jiang Mu was silent after hearing this.
Only Qi Qi asked: "Dad, why do you want to take your things to foreigners? Why don't you keep them for yourself?"
Xia Ye smiled and said: "Look, my wife, even my daughter knows why, but they don't understand! Hahaha..."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Money and silk are so attractive to people. It's all just to make money, without conscience."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
Jiang Mu was a little confused, looked at each other with Xia Ye, and went to open the door.
"Husband, we have a visitor!"
Xia Ye turned around and saw that Jiang Mu walked in with a tall and straight middle-aged man wearing a long gown. This man had picturesque features. Although he was dressed in an old-fashioned way, he had an outstanding and unfazed temperament.
He looked around and finally settled on Xia Ye.
"Mr. Xia, I am the president of the medicine company, Liu Jingqi."
Sure enough, it came.
Xia Ye smiled and said, "President Liu, hey, I've gone back to Gusu a long time ago, but I never had time to see you. I'm disrespectful."
He invited Liu Jingqi to sit down.
The latter smiled and said: "Mr. Xia really has a style of life here."
This family of three, Qiqi was still sitting in Mr. Xia's arms, calling Uncle Liu.
Jiang Mu hugged Qiqi and left.
Xia Ye smiled and said, "President Liu, you are well."
He had met this Liu Jingqi several times before.
After all, if you want to set up a pharmaceutical factory, you have to rely on Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Company to purchase the goods.
During the previous fight with Sima Tun, thanks to the support of Liu Jingqi, he united the strength and resources of the pharmaceutical company, so that the pharmaceutical factory did not lose its chain during the most critical period.
Of course, at that time, the entire pharmaceutical industry was unprecedentedly united.
After all, Sima Tun is coming in force and wants to rally the entire pharmaceutical industry to deliver the final blow to traditional Chinese medicine.
Woodhouse Pharmaceuticals almost couldn't support it.
If it hadn't been for the establishment of Tai Chi Pharmaceutical Factory during the Xia Ye Cross Festival, Sima Tun would not have fallen.
In fact, the medicine shop is what it is today, thanks to the help of Xia Ye and Mu Huayi.
Without them continuing to get goods from the drug store, the drug store would never be able to sustain itself until now.
"President Liu, there is no need to say more. In fact, I know the purpose of your visit this time." Xia Ye smiled, but waved his hand, "The pharmaceutical factory should indeed let Li Pharmaceutical be distributed, but I hope President Liu will understand , Our pharmaceutical factory does not make money, even the most upstream wooden house pharmaceutical company, which is closest to the market and is actually a family with us, has no profit and provides medical treatment to the people at a fair price."
"We can even disclose the company's financial reports to the public, and let the public know every month that Woodhouse Pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical factories only make some meager profits."
"I personally don't take a penny, which is equivalent to doing charity. Haha, the profits are used to pay wages to the factory, as well as the consultation fees for the pharmacists and old Chinese medicine practitioners of Wood House Pharmaceutical. They all belong to the Mu family. Even if you are an old man, you will also follow someone who is not making money. Obviously, those elders are all masters of traditional Chinese medicine..."
Liu Jingqi originally had a lot to say, but Xia Ye stuffed it all back.
"Mr. Xia, this..."
Xia Ye smiled and nodded: "President Liu, please keep the things. I will take them back and discuss them with the people in the factory. If there is still space, try to let it out as much as possible."
Liu Jingqi felt helpless and took out the price increase sheet and placed it on the coffee table.
Goodbye.
He almost didn't have the face to stay here any longer.
Drug stores actually force pharmaceutical companies to raise prices, which makes it difficult for them to do so.
There is no profit in the first place, and the profits have to be given to the people in the drug store.
Of course, Xia Ye couldn't help it.
The price cannot be raised any more.
Fortunately, Mu Dakang is working on his previous connections in the Imperial Capital. If he can succeed, he may be able to get the pharmaceutical factory's medicines covered by medical insurance!
In this way, the price increase can be taken for granted and reimbursed by the empire.
The burden on the common people has been reduced a lot.
But enrolling in medical insurance is not a simple matter.
The qualifications of Xia Ye's pharmaceutical factory and the Mu family's Wooden House Pharmaceutical were too immature.
A few more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Pharmaceutical companies still give way to pharmaceutical companies.
After Xia Ye discussed with Xiao Liang and Mu Huayi, the two companies cooperated and continued to squeeze their own profits.
