However, the business of the small customers of Jubaotang is unique. Not only are there few types, but they are also large in quantity. Similar to Hearthstone powder, a customer often purchases hundreds of bottles at a time. How many episodes will it take to sell the medicine?
However, customers are very diligent in their dealings. The interval between the delivery of the last batch of goods and the delivery of the next batch of goods is only eleven or two days, or only five or six days. Did you take this medicine by yourself or is it like this...
The strangeness doesn't stop there. Yuan Shuzhi also found in the account books that customers paid in advance and then had to wait several days for delivery. This is really rare. What kind of elixir is so popular? Looking at prices, they also rise and fall, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Although Yuan Shuzhi has never been engaged in the medicinal materials industry, he has received training in health care and knows to some extent the business experience of these traditional pharmacies. This is not in line with the common sense of this industry.
The current "modification" is mainly aimed at these "unreasonable" places, especially to significantly reduce the sales amount and unit price. In particular, the senior management said that in addition to modifications, a "base book" without any modifications should be made according to the "Australian accounting" method.
When Yuan Shuzhi saw "Hearthstone Powder", he was already suspicious. When the senior executive said this again, he felt more and more that there was something wrong in it.
But this alone doesn't explain anything. The key is to see if their medicine is adulterated with "Australian medicine".
Yuan Shuzhi wanted to find out, but the management of Jubao was very strict. After a few days here, he only saw the senior manager and his clerk. I haven't seen anyone else. His daily living and accounting work were confined to the small courtyard, and three meals a day were delivered to the courtyard. If you are tired, you can walk around in the courtyard, but if you want to leave the courtyard, you will be stopped by the waiters. It's like being under house arrest.
The two completed sets of ledgers, together with the manuscripts, will be taken away immediately. The next day, the senior executive would bring the returned account book and tell him what was wrong and ask him to revise it. However, as he made more and more account books, his understanding of the store owner's ideas became clearer and clearer. Now he has very few There are accounts that need to be modified.
At this time, Yuan Shuzhi realized more and more that there was a problem here. Fortunately, when he left the inn, he had already delivered a secret letter to Boluo's investigation team, informing him of his whereabouts. The working group should have sent people to keep an eye on this place by now. So Lao Yuan is not worried.
Yuan Shuzhi's secret letter was sent to Boluo County through Qiwei's letter channel, and Lu Cheng was overjoyed. Because of their special status, if they appeared openly in the drug market, they would probably alert the enemy, so the entire investigation team only stayed in Boluo County. On the one hand, they carried out "unannounced inspections" in a decent manner. The Boluo County government was very busy; on the other hand, it sent several spies to the drug market to inquire about the situation.
Now the news of the spy has not yet arrived, but Yuan Shuzhi has already "infiltrated into the enemy's interior" - judging from the content reported in the letter, this treasure gathering hall is indeed very suspicious.
After obtaining Yuan Shuzhi's report, the investigation team immediately adjusted its deployment and dispatched a number of local "commissioners" through Boluo County's political security commissioner to keep an eye on the Jubao. At the same time, they began to secretly investigate the drug store.
After investigation, it was discovered that Jubaohao was opened less than half a year ago. After its opening, its main business was the wholesale of patent medicines such as "Wandan Paste Powder" and not crude drugs. On weekdays, only some drug dealers go to purchase goods, and there are no special highlights. In the tax registration book of Boluo County, there is a record of payment of "market tax" for Jubao. Judging from the names and values of the drugs listed above, the value of the drugs it sells every month is only a few hundred yuan. Most of them are mid-to-low-end daily medicines, and the biggest one is Hearthstone Powder.
So where do these Hearthstone powders come from? It can be seen from the market entry tax registration book that the Heshi Powder is all labeled with the brand name "Chun", which means that these medicines are all imported from Wanchun Quan. But when it was sold, it was marked with the word "Ju".
In this way, Jubaohao's Hearthstone Powder just gives Wan Chunquan a new look.
The problem is that although Wan Chunquan's main store is in Boluo County, it also has a storefront in Dongtian Medicine Market. Not only that, Wanchun is a century-old brand, and Hearthstone Powder was first formulated by this company. Although there is no concept of trademark registration and patent protection in this era, and all pharmacies can sell homemade Hearthstone Powder, however, regardless of the age of the store or the reputation of the drug, Wanchunquan's Hearthstone Powder is obviously more popular. With authority, why do drug dealers go to Jubao Hall?
As for the possibility, it is that Jubaohao is "fabricating", buying the original medicine of Wanchunquan, mixing it with other cheap ingredients, and turning one part into ten parts, in order to make profits.
But after secretly investigating Wan Chunquan's shopkeepers, managers, past account books and some old people in the medicine market, Lu Cheng found that this was not the case.
Although Wanchunquan's Hearthstone Powder is one of the store's main products, it generally has a mediocre reputation and is a patent medicine that has certain effects but is of little use. The composition of this medicine is very simple, and the raw materials are not expensive. There are similar patent medicines out there, but the sales volume is mediocre. No matter which way you look at it, there is no need to lie.
So what's the point of their hesitation? Lu Cheng thought of the contents of the case report and guessed that Jubao might have mixed Australian drugs into Wanchunquan's Hearthstone Powder and repackaged it, which is why he did such an incredible move.
At the moment, she informed the political security commissioner of Boluo County and assigned a drug dealer to go to Jubaohao to purchase the goods. Bought some furnace stones and distributed them back to Huizhou Prefecture for relevant personnel to identify the ingredients.
Unexpectedly, the identification result was that the hearthstone was scattered and did not contain chemical compounds.
Could it be that the guess is wrong? For a time, everyone in the investigation team was in conflict.
"No," Lu Cheng said flatly, "Although it does not contain chemical compounds, it does not prove that there is no problem with the Jubao. The people we sent there are strangers, so they are probably suspicious!"
"Immediately arrest a drug dealer who often goes to Jubao!" She gave the order, "Don't arrest him in the drug market. Wait until he gets into officialdom before kidnapping him secretly."
Zheng Xiaoyu has happily accepted 20% of the shares since Boss He completed the "United Clinic". He and Boss He have become as close as brothers. They often go in and out of He Jun's mansion secretly to have dinner and have fun.
On this day, He Jun entertained Zheng Xiaoyu at his private house. He was already familiar with the people here, so he changed into Mingren's clothes, got on the sedan at night, and quietly came to He Jun's private house.
This private residence is not He Jun's main house, but the place where he "hides his beauty in a golden house" outside. Not only does he have beautiful concubines and maids, but he is also served by skilled cooks. There is also a small garden in the mansion. It's private and comfortable. Therefore, it is also the place where he entertains distinguished guests and conducts "public relations communication".
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food. When He Jun saw that Zheng Xiaoyu was drunk and slightly tipsy, he felt that it was almost time, so he complimented him first.
After some compliments, he whispered: "I think my brother is young and promising, and he is deeply appreciated by the elders. Sooner or later he will become a great person! If you don't mind it, you and I, He Jun, will be sworn brothers with the same surname. We are blessed and enjoy it together." It’s hard to share the same responsibility. Make the business bigger and bigger. My brother’s business is half that of my brother’s!”
"It's easy to talk," Zheng Xiaoyu said. He can say anything now, but he still has to be careful about his attitude. "It's just that the Senate is most afraid of forming brothers with different surnames. If the Senate finds out, I'm afraid they will treat you badly." I’m not good either.”
"It doesn't matter. No matter how powerful the Senate is, it can't control private houses." He Jun comforted, "You and I can sworn sworn friends in private, and there is no need to exchange invitations. Naturally, it must be kept secret from the outside world, and we cannot hinder our brothers' future. 伱After we become sworn brothers, we become a family. Whatever my brother’s family has, except for your sister-in-law, whatever he wants, if he can get it, just take it!”
"Haha, brother, you are joking." Zheng Xiaoyu heard that he was so "enthusiastic" and knew that today's banquet would have something to offer. The previous one was just a foreshadowing, this time it should be about getting myself involved.
He immediately followed the trend and said, "Becoming a brother with the eldest brother is something that the younger brother can only dream of." After saying that, he sighed: "To be honest with the eldest brother, the younger brother was born in a humble family. His parents died when he was a child, and he struggled to survive alone. I have long thought about it. I hope I can have a family member who knows both cold and hot. Since the eldest brother will never abandon me, the younger brother will naturally be willing..." After that, he wiped his eyes.
So, the two became sworn brothers under the moon. He Jun is the older brother, and Zheng Xiaoyu is the younger brother.
After the two formed an alliance, Zheng Xiaoyu toasted He Jun with a glass of wine.
"Since Brother Zheng doesn't dislike me and is willing to become a brother with me, I won't say anything else. I'll drink this glass!" He Jun drank the wine immediately.
The two exchanged cups, drank and drank, and then He Jun asked if he could distribute more "prescriptions" to the joint clinic in Bai Ling Hao.
"What's so difficult about this?" Zheng Xiaoyu said with a smile, "You can just send someone to pick it up tomorrow."
He Jun smiled, poured wine for him, and whispered: "That's not what my brother said."
"What kind is that?" Zheng Xiaoyu deliberately pretended to be confused.
He Jun knew that he was pretending, so he pretended to be affectionate and smiled: "What else is there? Of course it is a prescription for controlled drugs."
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xiaoyu shook his head, lowered his head and smiled without saying a word.
Seeing that he didn't express his position, He Jun was secretly worried and asked: "Brother! This prescription?"
"It's difficult." Zheng Xiaoyu let out a long sigh, "Brother must also know that the Senate keeps a close eye on controlled drugs, and this prescription is even more strictly controlled. Something will happen to you if you use it, and you won't make any money by then. A few of them are going to attract an investigation team or something and make a show of themselves. Why bother! With just the word "joint clinic" and the right to prescribe controlled drugs, brother, why don't you make money just lying around?!"
