Xiao San didn’t know the origin of this Fort Gongji Hall. [Full text reading] But Chou Yang Shixiang’s expression changed and he looked younger. Not a good place to go. Just listen to him say: "Brother! It's not like you don't know the medicines of Gongjitang. How can you use such fine products as borneol and Mixiang? If these two patent medicines go in there, wouldn't they be a waste? What else can be sold? Is the situation coming? I need to ask big brother for more support."
"I won't help if you're not a big brother." Yang Shiyi kept slapping him, "It's really hard to disobey." "
"My little brother, am I not an outsider too?!" Yang Shixiang said unbearably.
This time he was severely defeated. The ancients paid most attention to "kinship, benevolence and righteousness" in the clan. Not only was Yang Shixiang not an outsider, he was also an authentic close relative. Although they were far apart, his status in the clan was not low. He wants to sell patent medicines on consignment. If Yang Shiyi excuses himself by saying that he must be careful when buying medicine in the store, others will have nothing to say; using "ancestor" as an excuse is actually breaking his own words.
.
"Too serious, too serious to say!" Yang Shiyi was extremely embarrassed. He had nothing to say for a moment, so he had to evade, "We will discuss this matter again, and we will discuss it again! Several elders want to see their brothers, but they have not seen each other for many years. It is better to invite him first. Let’s meet at the back house.”
Seeing that his cousin had no room to turn around, Yang Shixiang had no choice but to stand up and follow him into the inner house. It was inconvenient for Liu San to go with him. A footman came over and asked him to wait in the living room. Liu San thought that instead of sitting and waiting alone, it would be better to sit in the medicine store hall outside and learn more about the local customs. He asked the waiter to lead him out, and he was still sitting in the guest room in the lobby outside.
Liu: I was sitting there bored, thinking that my plan was wrong. I thought this was a good way to buy raw materials with cash and then ask for consignment to win over the relationship. The other party would definitely be able to accept the "win-win" idea, but he didn't expect that he would still be wishful thinking about the world's affairs. How could everything fall into his own calculations?
If the consignment matter cannot be negotiated. The sales of Chinese patent medicines on the mainland can only be developed by Guangzhou Station. They have opened many industries now. If they open pharmacies, the stalls will be too big. I heard that the money is not too loose.
However, Yang Shiyi proposed to sell the brand "Gongjitang" on a consignment basis. But from what Yang Shixiang said, this brand is very unbearable. I don't know the specific situation. If it is a small brand, you can also consider it. Let the Cross Travel Group support us."
While he was thinking silently, a waiter came over to refill the water. Liu San stopped him: Brother, let me ask you a question. thing. "
"Master, please give me your instructions."
"Where is Gongjitang?"
The guy was stunned and asked: "Sir, how do you know this place?"
"I just heard about it. Is it your semicolon?"
"Sir, this is complicated," the man said. It turns out that "Gongjitang" is a semicolon of "Yang Run's Kaitang Deji". This semicolon is different from ordinary semicolons. First of all, it is jointly funded by all the "Xijia" of "Yang Run Kaitang Deji", that is, the employees. Regardless of rank, from the chief manager to the apprentice, everyone contributes. Three taels of silver per person. If you can't afford it, it can be deducted from your salary year by year. The profits earned are distributed equally among all "Xijia" companies, which is regarded as a kind of employee welfare. The goods sold at "Gongjitang" are all second-rate products eliminated from the medicinal materials sold by "Yang Runkaitang Deji", so the prices are cheap and they are very popular among poor people.
"Shujitang is located next to our store. It specializes in retail sales and also handles wholesale sales from some rural drug dealers."
"That's right." Liu San knew why Yang Shixiang was unwilling to sell the medicine in "Gongjitang". This is not the same level at all!
As he was talking, he heard a burst of noise in the yard, and some people started to watch at the steps in front of the main hall.
"Don't read it, don't read it.
Someone in charge had already come out to maintain order.
"What's going on?" Liu San couldn't see clearly and asked the clerk.
"Someone probably suffered from heat stroke." The man sighed. "It's not too hot now, but in June, there will be several people suffering from heatstroke and tuberculosis in the yard every day."
"Why?" Liu Sanqi asked. Could it be that the courtyard where Yang Run opened the hall is particularly prone to high temperatures?
"This is also a bit of kindness from our medicine store manager." The clerk pointed to the two mats set up in the yard. "On one side is the hay tea brewed by ourselves in our store, specially for the customers who come to wait for medicine; on the other side, it is the timid tea. The "Peaceful Soup" in summer is specially used to treat the evils caused by heat, filth and evil. There are poor families, beggars on the street, and workers in the foundry. People who lose weight when they are infected and have no money to treat and take medicine come here to drink a bowl of "Peace Soup" "But some people were seriously infected. Even after drinking, they still had to eat. If they couldn't take a breath, they lost their lives. Alas!"
"So that's it. Er Liu San nodded. The traditional Chinese medicine industry still has a good sense of social responsibility. As he continued drinking tea, he suddenly thought, isn't this a good opportunity to promote his patent medicine?
He quickly stood up and walked a few steps to the bottom of the steps. I saw a big man lying in the mat tent who looked to be in his early twenties. Belly. One Shikong can be called tall. There are enough, 7 meters. Strong build. Wearing a pair of tattered clothes with an unrecognizable appearance, a rope tied around his waist, his feet were bare, and his whole person looked shabby. There is also a wooden stick beside him. A broken baggage. It is simply the standard attire of beggars in the Ming Dynasty.
Liu San felt strange. This man had a strong build, not like a beggar who had been struggling with hunger for a long time, but his complexion was haggard and yellow, and he was obviously malnourished. It's obviously not disguised.
No matter what kind of person he is, this person is currently lying on a shabby straw mat. He has been out of breath but out of breath. His teeth are clenched and his face is pale. Liu San reached out and touched his forehead.
.
"This master. The guard next to him hurriedly stopped him.
"I'm a doctor!" Liu San said solemnly. The man was silent. The people who were watching the excitement became quiet when they saw that a doctor appeared to treat the beggar.
There was cold sweat on my forehead. Liu San took the pulse, which was deep and weak. He asked the man responsible for applying pesticides:
"Did this person suddenly fall to the ground?"
"Yes, he asked for a bowl of peace soup, and Wang took a few sips,"
Liu San nodded. This is a critical symptom when the disease is trapped within and the Qi escapes from the outside. It is very easy to die without rescue, people. According to the treatment model of traditional Chinese medicine, at this time, it is necessary to clear the obstruction and fix it. First, blow Tongguan Powder into the nasal orifice, and then sneeze to clear the obstruction.
Liu San did not have Guan Guan Powder in his hand, but he had Zhuge Xingjun Powder. He quickly took it out, poured some on the paper, and gently blew it into the beggar's nose.
This medicine was indeed effective. As soon as the medicine was administered, the patient responded almost immediately, his body began to move, and his eyelids opened.
"Wake up! Wake up!" People around him shouted. Liu San used his fingers to press his philtrum and Neiguan points. When he saw that his mind was completely clear, he told the waiter on the side: "Feed him some water." Then he got up.
Many onlookers had already gathered around him, asking him what the name of this medicine was. Where to buy it. Some people were so anxious that they simply asked him to sell him the medicine he had lying around.
"Dear fellow villagers." Liu San bowed his head and said in his Cantonese vernacular, "I, Liu San, just arrived in your place today. This medicine is called Zhuge Xingjun Powder, and I prepared it myself. Because I am traveling in the summer, Carry it with you to keep yourself safe. If you want to buy it, I’m really in a dilemma.”
Advertising on other people's territory should be done in moderation. He just explained the name of the medicine and the person and left. When the time comes, people will naturally follow the diagram.
Liu San bowed again. After explaining it several times, the crowd slowly dispersed. Liu: Confidence has soared. There is a huge market for summer-heat medicines like Zhuge Xingjun Powder.
Just as he was enjoying himself, he saw Yang Shixiang walking out. He didn't look very lively. It was obvious that there was nothing good to gain from going inside.
Return to the inn. Yang Shixiang said: "Brother Liu, please ask Yang Run to open the hall. I am afraid that the consignment matter cannot be implemented. My cousin, you have also seen it, he is very good!"
Liu San nodded: "Still don't agree?"
"It's not a serious rejection. It's just spinning around in circles. I don't know what the idea is. Yang Shixiang took the hand towel sent by the servant, wiped it, and drank a cup of herbal tea. "Brother Liu, where did you get the money? ? .
"Of course it's Guangzhou. Doesn't it say Guangzhou Delong Bank on the ticket?"
"Delong. Haha, it's probably also an industry for you Australians. Delong Grain Store also has grain coupons." Yang Shixiang said with a smile, "My eldest brother doesn't care much about consignment sales. He keeps asking about this. Where did I get the money? I asked you where you came from."
"What did you say?
"Cheques. Of course, it means that the customer gives a deposit." Yang Shixiang laughed at himself, "I'll kill him, he won't believe that I have fifty taels of cash to use. As for you, I only said that you arrived recently. A tall doctor with excellent medical skills. Looking at him, he doesn’t seem to believe it.
"Maybe there will be a turning point in this matter." Liu San thought to himself that Yang Shiyi was very discerning and could see the key points at a glance. It seems that the consignment business is not desperate yet. If we can make good use of the reputation accumulated by Guangzhou Station in Guangdong, we may be able to succeed.
"Is there any chance of improvement? I think we should pack up and go back home when all the goods are ready tomorrow."
While talking, Huang Tianyu also came back. He took Chen Tong around Foshan this afternoon and hired a hotel clerk as a guide to see Foshan's handicraft industry. Let's see if there is anyone I can bring back. Compared to Liu San and the others, Huang Tianyu gained much more in this half day.
He visited several foundries and several ceramic kilns. A large number of civilian utensils such as bells, tripods, incense burners were being cast, and there were also many artillery pieces. He heard from the imperial court that the iron in Guangdong was not brittle. Large-scale cannon casting is being carried out in Guangdong for use in Liaodong, and many foundries are overwhelmed. ! ~!
