With Ye Chen's fame in Vietnam now, it is not too big, but at least many Vietnamese people already know Ye Chen's Chinese medicine skills.

In Boss Hu's opinion, if Ye Chen finally entered the final list of the first Eastern Medicine Competition, in fact, in his opinion, he was already very famous, as long as he publicized it, I am afraid that it would not be difficult to achieve the effect he wanted.

After all, so many famous doctors from all over the world gathered in Hanoi to participate in the first Eastern Medicine Competition, and Ye Chen's ability to stand out and enter the finalists already shows that his medical skills are very powerful.

If you get better results in the finalists, for example, the top ten results, in Boss Hu's opinion, it would be the best.

When Ye Chen saw Boss Hu's shrewd little eyes looking at him, Ye Chen asked strangely, "Boss Hu, do you have anything else?"

"Well, Dr. Ye, there are some things I want to discuss with you. Boss Hu said.

It's just that when he just asked, Ye Chen thought something was going on, and saw two long black and thin Vietnamese men walking in.

One was a middle-aged Vietnamese man, and the other was a young Vietnamese man, with the young man carrying a bag of black things in his hand.

"Boss Hu, I have goods to sell, do you want to?" said the middle-aged man.

Boss Hu naturally knew these two people, these two people were the middle-aged owner of the game shop not far from Fujian Street and a waiter guy in the shop, who usually had business dealings with him.

The main thing in this business is the pangolin scales.

In fact, the meat of pangolins, no matter how rare they are, is not too expensive, and they are not even as expensive as those abalone cucumber prickly belly, and the real most valuable ones are those pangolin scales that can be used as traditional Chinese medicine.

It is these northern or southern pharmacies that usually buy pangolin scales in a centralized manner. It's just that most of the southern pharmacies are opened by Vietnamese locals, and the prices they offer are not as good as the northern pharmacies opened by the Chinese.

As long as you think about it, you know that you can take it to the expensive North Pharmacy to sell.

Seeing these two people coming, Boss Hu smiled and communicated with the middle-aged Vietnamese man there, because he spoke Vietnamese, Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue couldn't understand it.

However, from the expressions of these three people, Ye Chen probably guessed something.

Boss Hu took the black bag and found that it weighed several pounds, and when I opened it, it was all pangolin scales that had just been peeled off, which were wet, not dry.

The price of wet, because it still carries water, even if it can be used as medicine immediately, it is not easy to store, and it needs to be dried before it can be used for medicine for a long time, so the price is naturally not as expensive as dry.

At present, pangolin scales are mainly dry goods, which are divided into defective, medium-grade, and high-grade products in China, and the prices are less than 5 yuan per gram, 5 yuan to 10 yuan per gram, and more than 10 yuan per gram.

This is the price at which the pharmacy sells it, and if you buy it, the price may be less than half or about a third.

Now Boss Hu saw the pangolin scales in the black bag at a glance, touched it with his hand, and then took it out to see the color and size of the scales, etc., basically, you can judge the age and quality of the pangolin and other problems.

Based on his experience, it can be judged that it belongs to the middle grade, and it can be sold for eight or nine yuan a gram in the domestic market.

However, because Vietnam is still rich in pangolins, and there are a lot of pangolin scales every day, so they can only be sold for six or seven yuan a gram, and he buys it from the hands of the Vietnamese, at most three or four yuan a gram.

Don't underestimate the three or four yuan a gram, a pound of five hundred grams, a pound down to almost two thousand yuan or so, and now the average Vietnamese income is only a few hundred yuan a month, the salary of Vietnamese college students is more than 1,000 at most, which is already very good.

Now Boss Hu is carrying this black bag, which is about three or four catties, and it will cost seven or eight thousand yuan for such a simple calculation.

In this case, there is undoubtedly much more pure profit than buying other things.

In fact, when Boss Hu took out a scale from the black bag to look at it, Ye Chen could see that it was a pangolin scale, which was peeled off from the top of the slaughtered pangolin.

When Boss Hu was bargaining with the middle-aged Vietnamese man there, he finally confirmed three yuan and five yuan a gram, and promised the middle-aged Vietnamese man that as long as it was a good enough high-grade pangolin scale, he would have to pay five or six yuan a gram.

Next, he said that the bag of pangolin scales didn't need to be done by Boss Hu himself, there were already clerks who went over to help, and as for the money, there were also clerks there to deal with it.

"Doctor Ye, do you see that thing?" asked Boss Hu when he went to wash his hands.

Ye Chen has studied medicine for so many years, if he doesn't even know this, it is really in vain. Maybe it's because in the morning, when he saw the appearance of the female pangolin that was brutally slaughtered, Ye Chen's expression was not very good.

In ancient times, in fact, the ancients, including the ancient doctors, thought that man was the highest level, and man could dominate nature. Therefore, at that time, in the opinion of ancient Chinese doctors, everything in nature could be used.

For example, skin and bone scales of rare animals such as tiger bones, rhinoceros horns, pangolin scales, etc., are used for medicinal purposes.

In ancient times, Ye Chenna also felt that there was nothing. After all, the reason why people are human beings is that they must first safeguard their interests and then consider other things.

So, in that case, when there are many species and a large population, nature is basically not destroyed, and basically, there is no need to worry about the extinction of those rare animals that are used as medicines.

However, since modern times, the population has exploded, more than ten times more than the ancient population, and more and more mountains and forests have been destroyed, and a large number of animals have been hunted, resulting in fewer and fewer rare animals, and there may even be extinctions.

For example, rhinoceros, which is now like China, became extinct by the end of the Qing Dynasty. There are also rare animals such as tiger bones and pangolin scales, because there are fewer and fewer, the price is getting higher and higher, and the price is getting higher and higher, and these animals are getting fewer and fewer, leading to the emergence of a cycle.

Even though China or international organizations have listed those rare animals as national protected animals, there are still people who continue to hunt them in the face of huge profits.

In that case, many people are anti-TCM, not that TCM is useless, but that the problem of TCM is used, but it has become a catalyst for those rare animals to be hunted.

For example, these pangolins, if it weren't for their scales that could be used as medicine, I am afraid that the hunted Cheng dù would not be so strict.

Now when Boss Hu asked, Ye Chen's expression was still like that, and he said: "This is a pangolin scale, which has the effects of eliminating bleeding and stopping symptoms, reducing swelling and draining pus in traditional Chinese medicine. It's just that now the medicinal use of these pangolin scales can be replaced by other plant medicines. ”

Last time, when Ye Chen treated that patient, he replaced it with the flavor of 'Wang Buliuxing'.

Actually, the effect should be about the same. However, many patients still feel that the original Chinese medicine is better, and other drugs cannot replace its effect.

"However, now domestic pharmacies are still selling!" said Boss Hu.

In fact, he knows that pangolins are second-class protected animals in China, and only traditional Chinese medicine stores with formal business licenses can sell them, and if other pharmacies sell them, they must be illegal and can only be sold secretly on the black market. As for Vietnam here, the government doesn't care at all.
