There are many kinds of medicinal materials in the medicinal materials area, and you can find most of them at the medicinal fair.
There are also many famous doctors in the medical and pulse diagnosis area. An old doctor can set up a stall to treat people. There are apprentices busy preparing and boiling medicines. There are small stoves, medicine jars and steaming steam, and the smell of various medicines permeates the area. Come.
These famous doctors are all masters of traditional Chinese medicine. Some are good at diagnosing pulses, some are good at acupuncture, and some are good at bone setting. Each has its own special skills. Many people with serious diseases come to their door.
In mild cases, the disease can be cured by medicine, and in severe cases, the condition can be alleviated.
There is also a herbal medicine store that specializes in large-scale transactions, and there are constant sounds of shouting, abacus calculations, and accounting reports.
As for the Western medicine and medical equipment area, it is quieter. Western medicine has not yet been fully developed in China. Some production lines for the production of basic Western medicine have only been opened and put into operation in the past few years.
One thing about things in this area is that they are expensive!
It was Xiao Jinfeng's first time to participate in the drug fair. After listening to Gao Mingcheng's advice, he visited the entire drug fair area and gained more knowledge.
Back at the rental stall, Gao Mingcheng was doing business, so he stood and watched.
The buyer wanted yellow gardenias, the price was one yuan and a half per catty, and he asked for as much as he said he had.
The purchase price of Huang Gardenia Gao Mingcheng was 40 cents per catty at first. Later, the quantity became less and it rose to 50 cents. But at that time, it was wet, but now it is dry. However, the water content of yellow gardenia is not high, and after being greened and dried, the weight is not bad. Now it sells for one yuan and a half per catty, and the profit is pretty good, and the profit for other medicinal materials is roughly the same.
If the quantity is small, it is not cost-effective, but if the quantity is large, the trip will make a lot of money.
Besides, Gao Mingcheng got half of his medicinal materials in the mountains himself, so this part is pure profit.
Xiao Jinfeng's goods also include yellow gardenias, because yellow gardenias are suitable for growing in their county. Every village has more or less wild yellow gardenia trees.
And under the arrangement of the urban leaders, the industry of artificial cultivation of yellow gardenia has begun to develop, resulting in a large supply of goods.
The reason why artificial cultivation is vigorously developed is because in the medicinal material trading market, the price of Jiangxi yellow gardenia is much higher than that of Fujian yellow gardenia. Therefore, the Jiangxi yellow gardenia sold by Gao Mingcheng is very popular. After several customers made inquiries, one of them offered to buy them all.
Gao Mingcheng reported all the goods that he and Xiao Jinfeng had put together. There were 580 kilograms in total, and Gao Mingcheng accounted for 400 kilograms.
"Okay, if the quality is the same, I'll take them all." The buyer said with great wealth.
The next step is to clear out all the yellow gardenias, show them to the buyers, put them on the scale, and then submit the bill.
Gao Mingcheng knew that the yellow gardenias they had were easy to sell, so he brought all the yellow gardenias over at the beginning. Now he only needed to open the bag containing the medicine and let people inspect it.
Gao Mingcheng's goods are all checked by him, and there are no defective goods. As for Xiao Jinfeng's goods, they are not too bad. His family has some influence and connections in the county, so his family has no problem in receiving the goods. A few people dared to fool their family with bad things.
Thus, the first big business was done.
"Brother Xiao, you look at the stall, I'll get some more goods." Gao Mingcheng said, pushing the trolley toward the parking lot.
The reason why he comes to get the goods is because he knows better which goods are easy to sell and which prices are popular. Therefore, this part of the goods must be taken over first and sold as early as possible so that the money can be safely settled.
As for those that are small in quantity and not easy to sell, you can slowly sell them tomorrow.
Xiao Jinfeng had no objection and stayed at the stall, watching the process of other people buying and selling goods. When someone came over to inquire about prices, he would tell them one by one according to the prices set by Gao Mingcheng. The quantity of goods will be reported truthfully.
Gao Mingcheng wrote an account book, which contains the medicinal materials that the two of them put together, and recorded the data on how much they sold and how much was left. Just by looking at it, they can know the status of the goods.
Throughout the whole day, Gao Mingcheng and Xiao Jinfeng were not idle. There was a lot of traffic at the drug fair, and the business turnover rate was also very high. At the end of the day, although everyone was exhausted, most of the goods had been sold.
After recording the last account in the ledger, Gao Mingcheng stretched to relieve his sore muscles.
He usually practices boxing and runs in the mountains, but he is not as tired as today!
Constantly doing repetitive mechanical movements, constantly smiling and talking to people, at the end of the day, I am physically and mentally exhausted.
But fortunately, his bulging wallet can calm his busy schedule.
It was getting dark, and there were fewer and fewer people in the medicinal materials trading market. Everyone closed their stalls one after another.
The remaining bags of medicinal materials were returned to the car for storage.
After dinner, Xiao Jinfeng took the initiative and said, "I'll drive the caboose tonight. Mingcheng, you can have a good sleep."
He could see Gao Mingcheng's fatigue and knew that Gao Mingcheng must have stayed up all night last night.
As for letting Gao Mingli caboose, both Xiao Jinfeng and Gao Mingcheng disagreed.
It was okay for Gao Mingli to watch during the day, but it would be very uneasy to ask him to watch at night.
Gao Mingcheng was not being polite, he really needed a good night's rest, so he and Gao Mingli stayed in the hotel that night, while Xiao Jinfeng stayed in the car.
Since most of the popular medicinal materials have been sold, the remaining medicinal materials in the car are of little value, so Xiao Jinfeng still looks relatively relaxed.
Maybe there was a lot of commotion last night, but things are peaceful tonight. No one comes to steal medicinal materials anymore, and no one comes to steal gasoline anymore.
But Xiao Jinfeng discovered that the Northeastern guy who loaded a cart with ginseng and deer antlers was missing. He didn't know whether they sold out the goods and left, or what happened.
It was a chance encounter, so Xiao Jinfeng naturally had no intention of exploring.
But the next morning, he told Gao Mingcheng the news. In the morning, Gao Mingcheng, who went out to do some research, told him that the two Northeastern guys sold a truckload of goods at a low price, and then in the afternoon , and drove away from here.
They may feel untouchable against people who are targeting them behind their back, so they can only avoid them.
"Yesterday they gave me a pound of red ginseng and deer antler. Brother Xiao will share half of it and eat it later," Gao Mingcheng said.
Xiao Jinfeng said: "You only gave away so much? They are too stingy, but you helped them recover their big losses!"
Gao Mingcheng was open-minded and said, "It's almost two hundred yuan in total, that's about it. Anyway, it's a convenient favor."
For him, it was just a matter of convenience, so he didn't think the gift from Wang Tiezhu and the others was light.
Seeing that he was open-minded, Xiao Jinfeng stopped mentioning the matter. Gao Mingli listened, and combined with what others said before, he roughly figured out what happened on the first night.
When he found out, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he wasn't the one driving the caboose. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to resist something like that if it happened.
Today, the goods on the car have been moved to the medicinal materials trading market, so Gao Mingli no longer needs to sit in the boring caboose, but can follow him to guard the stall and increase his knowledge.
Gao Mingcheng asked him to go around, and he went obediently. He was just worried about getting lost, so he went back the same way and didn't dare to take a wrong step.
After walking around the entire Medicine Fair, he only saw what was new. He couldn't understand the words shouted by many people. Fortunately, some shops hung banners. Through the words on the banners, his understanding of the Medicine Fair was considered to be Slightly more.
By the afternoon, the number of people in the medicinal materials trading market gradually dwindled.
By this time, almost everything that should be bought has been bought, and almost everything that should be sold has been sold. Some stalls only have a few medicinal materials left, and more people have sold out and are packing up to leave.
Gao Mingcheng's goods were also sold short. This time with the help of Xiao Jinfeng, with the efforts of the two of them, they were sold short. However, the last business did not make much money, and some leftover scraps were provided.
Not for anything else, just for the good fortune of short selling.
"Let's go have a big meal!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile and shouted to have a big meal.
In the past two days, because they were busy with business, several of them didn't eat properly. They just picked up the rice in a hurry and swallowed it as soon as it entered the mouth. They didn't even chew it, and they ate simply.
At this time, you need delicious food to soothe your tiredness and joy in your heart.
When I walked into the restaurant, I saw that it was full of guests, all of whom were herbal medicine merchants, and the dishes they ordered were very expensive.
Gao Mingcheng saw that all the seats were full, and he didn't intend to leave, because the situation in other restaurants should be similar, so he asked the restaurant's people if there were any small dining tables.
Usually when business is very good, the store will arrange a few small dining tables in the open space outside. There are only three people in their group, and the small dining tables are enough.
While he was asking and talking, someone suddenly shouted to him: "Brother Mingcheng, come to eat too, come to my table to eat! There's still room!"
Gao Mingcheng looked around and recognized the man he was playing cards with before.
The man transported a cart of licorice, cistanche deserticola, and Cynomorium cynomorium. They were all products from the desert in the north. They were very rare in the south, so they sold easily.
Seeing that there was indeed room for two people there, Gao Mingcheng took Xiao Jinfeng and Gao Mingli and walked over. At this time, the man had already asked the hotel to add another stool.
Gao Mingcheng and Xiao Jinfeng were both good at chatting with people and making friends. The entire dinner table was full of laughter and chatting with each other happily.
Only Gao Mingli was a cook and concentrated on eating the whole time. It wasn't that he didn't want to hear what they were chatting about, but that he really couldn't understand it.
Those local dialects sounded like a fantasy to his ears. Well, to put it more vividly, it was like a teacher giving a math class. He heard the sounds but didn't understand a word of the meaning.
But Gao Mingli was very satisfied with this meal.
Not to mention the rich dishes, he also got to see another side of his second brother.
When he was at home, he only thought that his second brother was boring, he talked little and did little, and his parents often complained that his second brother was stubborn and not sweet-talking, so he didn't get into trouble.
But now when he saw his second brother making friends with others, although he couldn't quite understand what he said, he could tell that his second brother was very good at making friends, and others also looked up to him.
He suddenly thought of Gao Guobing again.
In the eyes of the villagers, Gao Guobing is a high-ranking official, but even if he is from the same village, the one he cares about the most is Gao Mingcheng. Others turn to Gao Guobing for help. Small things can be done, but big things cannot be done.
But everything his second brother accomplished was a big deal!
Arranging for the third brother to join the transportation company and arranging for himself to choose a factory were all things that Gao Guobing easily accepted after the second brother spoke.
Gao Guobing would definitely not do this to others. You know, how rare it is to have a job these days!
