"Brother Shun is back!" Dafeng shouted as he walked into the house.
Xiao Liuzi also walked in and shouted: "Brother Dafeng, brother Chengzi, we are back!"
"Come back as soon as you come back, no matter what you shout!" In fact, Dacheng had been a little impatient in the past few days, but when he thought of Dafeng and Xiaoliuzi's support for Brother Shun, he felt inexplicably irritable.
He stood up in a hurry, pulled on his shoes and walked out, hoping that Brother Shun's trip would not go smoothly, so that he could tell about Boss Qiu and the local pharmaceutical company.
By then, even if his prestige cannot immediately surpass Brother Shun's, he will definitely be on an equal footing with him.
Dacheng had a good idea, but when he walked into the main room and saw the smiles on Brother Shun and Xiao Liuzi's faces, he felt that things were starting to go a little away from what he had imagined.
"Ahem!" Dacheng coughed, cleared his throat, and asked, "How is it?"
Brother Shun said with a smile: "Fortunately, although we were delayed for two more days, the matter went smoothly.
"I gave the deposit and signed the deed. The Luo family will collect the medicinal materials we want and transport them to the place I designate, and then give them the final payment."
"Have you given the deposit? So quickly?" Dacheng didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and it was already settled.
Hearing this, Xiao Liuzi interjected with a smile: "Brother Dacheng, you don't know, we have been there for several days before we heard about it. Although the Luo family is said to be the largest merchant of medicinal materials in Huguang, in fact, the business has not been as good as in the past two years. It was easier before.
"Especially there is some kind of medicinal materials store in Nanzhili. It has been expanding here in the past two years and has taken away a lot of business from the Luo family!
"If it had been two or three years ago, the Luo family would not have paid attention to our business, but now it is not as good as in the past. No matter how big or small, what you pick up in the bowl is not all meat!"
Dacheng's heart trembled. Could it be that Boss Qiu's medicinal materials shop was competing with the Luo family?
However, now that the purchase of medicinal materials has been finalized, Dacheng did not dare to delay any longer and quickly told him the idea Boss Qiu gave him: "Brother Shun, I have been thinking about this matter for the past few days. The four of us, bringing a large amount of medicinal materials back, will definitely attract special attention. It would be terrible if we were accidentally discovered by the officers and soldiers at the border.
"Even if they are not discovered, if it rains and gets wet along the way, the medicinal materials may become damp and moldy..."
Seeing that Brother Shun was listening attentively, he continued: "So I thought, why don't we find a place to process the medicinal materials into medicines. This will save time and space, and we don't have to worry about spoilage."
Brother Shun frowned when he heard this and said, "Although I say that, if we find someone to make medicine here, we will easily be reported to the government, right?"
Seeing that Brother Shun didn't refuse, Dacheng became a little more energetic and stepped forward: "Didn't Xiaoliuzi just say that there is a medicinal materials dealer from Nanzhili who has been robbing the Luo family's business?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Brother Shun didn't understand why his topic changed so quickly.
But I heard Dacheng continue: "After you left, I had nothing to do. I asked the medicinal material dealer in South Zhili. He has connections there and can help us process the medicine. Moreover, he has someone on his staff, so there is no need to worry about the government. , he takes care of it.”
"How do you know him? Is it true or not?" Brother Shun didn't believe it.
After all, he went to the Luo family in person. He had been in the local area for several generations and the family had a big business. If he asked anyone on the road, he would know that it was definitely not a lie.
But where did Dacheng know this person from?
"That herbal medicine dealer has been living in the same alley with us for the past few months." Dacheng said, "Do you still remember that there is a house with the name of a medical center in the alley? That medicinal material dealer wants to do business with this medical center. , but the owner of the medical clinic was not there, so he simply stayed and went to the medical clinic every three days to inquire.
"I saw him several times when I passed by. Later, when you went to Luo's house, I had nothing to do, so I asked him about it.
"Originally, I was thinking that if things didn't go smoothly between you and the Luo family, there might be a way here."
Dacheng didn't even know if Boss Qiu was the herbal medicine dealer Xiao Liuzi mentioned, but when he said it so half-truth and three-thirds false, no one could detect any flaws.
Brother Shun believed it easily, but he still asked with some concern: "Now that we have bought medicine from Luo's house, will they help us make medicine?"
"I don't know if it's possible. I'll go find him and ask. At the worst, we can contribute some money. It's still a business after all!" Dacheng himself didn't know for sure, but he still wanted to give it a try.
However, he did not plan to go to Boss Qiu directly, but planned to go to the medical clinic to explore the way first.
After all, Boss Qiu said that the income from selling medicinal materials was nothing to him. He mainly wanted to build a relationship with the owner of the medical center.
If I can help him establish this relationship, even if he doesn't buy medicine from him, he might still be willing to help.
Brother Shun was very tired from going back and forth with Xiao Liuzi, so he had a casual lunch and went to rest.
Dacheng couldn't stay at home anymore, so he said hello to Fengzi and went out.
He went straight to the hospital.
"Pah, pah, pah—"
"anyone here?"
Gao Shan's voice sounded from inside the door panel: "No medical treatment today!"
"I don't want to see a doctor, but I have a business I want to discuss with your employer."
"Business?" Gao Shan was a little confused when he heard this. Recently, he was pestered by Boss Qiu to talk about business. Why did he come here with someone he didn't know? "
He asked curiously: "What business is it?"
"We are going to make a batch of patent medicine." Dacheng lowered his voice slightly.
"Patent medicine?" Gao Shan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. His daughter was away most of the time and couldn't even see people. How could she have time to make medicines for people?
However, he has worked in the Liu family for half his life and has long developed the habit of thinking through his mind before speaking.
He hesitated for a moment and asked in a slightly frightened tone: "What kind of medicine are you going to make? Is it poison? This, this is not possible. Don't do anything bad!"
Dacheng was shocked when he heard the first half, but immediately felt dumbfounded when he heard the second part.
"Uncle, what are you thinking! How could you be making poison!"
Hearing this, Gao Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, you scared me, as long as it's not poison! Then what kind of medicine are you going to make?"
Dacheng said vaguely: "It's just some medicine for treating bruises."
"That's easy to say. Although our boss is busy, we can do this medicine for bruises." Gao Shan's voice gradually became enthusiastic, "But we still have to tell our boss about this. Come back at this time tomorrow. I can give you a sure idea of whether it will work or not."
"Okay, please tell your boss. We live in the alley, close to each other. It's convenient for everyone!"
