It was half past four in the morning when the car arrived in Qizhou, and the sky was still gray. Qu Guangquan looked at the car window, wanting to lie down on the sleeper for a while, and wait until seven or eight o'clock to go to the hotel.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it stopped, a group of stevedores came to Huhulala, and they unloaded the goods from the car. Not only was the sound noisy, but it was full of wolf smoke. Qu Guangquan had no choice but to roll over and get out of bed and get out of the car with a large suitcase.

After walking a few steps forward, I saw Ma Xiang, who was next to his bunk yesterday, bargaining for a tricycle driver: "It doesn't cost three yuan to go to Dongfeng Hotel, and the last time the two of us came, it was only two yuan and five." ”

The tricycle looked disdainful: "Now the price of everything is rising, don't you know? You and I are also on a trip, you two and I are also on a trip, three yuan can not be less, you can ask other people who pull the tricycle, see if others pull you!"

"Two people go to Dongfeng Hotel for three yuan?" Qu Guangquan came up.

"Yes!"

"Let's do it together. Come up. "Tang Zongyi, they stayed in the Dongfeng Hotel.

"Okay, brother, my surname is Ma?" Ma Xiang stretched out his hand.

"I know that your name is Ma Xiang, my surname is Qu, and I am also open in our industry. Qu Guangquan shook hands with Ma Xiang and said curiously, "Who did you listen to when you said that Coptis chinensis was dropping?"

"You're the guy who did the ginseng at the door! You're a big deal! Well, I listened to my brother-in-law about Coptis chinensis. My sister's family opened a medicine store in Anguo, and she called me and said that the Coptis chinensis pulled to Anguo by outsiders with her own eyes could not be sold. ”

Qu Guangquan's grand opening in the medicine store is not small. After the door opened, the business was also bullish. Ma Xiang meant to make friends, and he spoke very truthfully.

"Then why don't you go to your sister's line, what hotel do you stay in?" Qu Guangquan asked.

"My sister's family went on a trip. This is the four of them getting on the train in Shijiazhuang, and they met a Coptis chinensis outside the train carriage and talked to his family, saying that the Coptis chinensis pulled to Qizhou from outside could not be sold for more than a month, and the price was lowered in the first half of the month, but it still could not be sold. As soon as my brother-in-law got off the bus in Guilin, he called me and asked me to come and see the situation. Dongfang Hotel, generally live large customers, you can collect a lot of useful information. Didn't you go to the Dongfang Hotel too? ”

"Is this true?" Qu Guangquan was also moved: since he came to Qizhou and encountered such a good thing, it didn't hurt to buy one, and he could go home anyway.

"The speaker has no intention, and the listener has a heart. My brother-in-law is also a good businessman, and I can't be wrong. ”

When I arrived at the Dongfeng Hotel, it was only half past five, and it was too early to knock on Tang Zongyi's door. I don't know who they are, so Qu Guangquan took out the letter of introduction from his bag and went to open the room.

At that time, there was no ID card, and when you went out to live in a hostel, you had to issue a letter of introduction from the unit. If you don't have a unit, you have to open it from the neighborhood committee or administrative village, otherwise, even if the hotel dares to keep you, the police station will still trouble you when it checks you.

"Boss Qu, if you don't mind, let's live together?" Ma Xiang got out of the car and had to pay the fare, but was pushed away by Qu Guangquan. Ma Xiang even made friends.

"Okay, let's open a double room, Lao Ma, if you pay, I won't live!" The so-called big hotel, a double room is only 20 yuan.

Ma Xiang argued a few times, but had to give up: "You, okay, I'll invite you for breakfast!"

The two of them put their luggage in the room and went out to Qizhou Pharmaceutical Market. Fortunately, it was not far from the Dongfeng Hotel, and ten minutes later, the two of them sat down at a breakfast shop next to the medicine market.

The Chinese herbal medicine market in Qizhou is also a morning market, although it is only six o'clock, but it is also very lively with people coming and going.

"Hey, boss, I want to ask you what the price of Coptis chinensis is now?" Ma Xiang just sat down, and heard the two Qizhou people next to him talking as if they were selling goods, so he asked.

"Huang Lian, think about it, it seems to be 37, right?"

Ma Xiang's face immediately became ugly: "Why is it really expensive! Our Qiaozhou market only sells for 35 or 36." ”

"I don't remember exactly, but that's probably what it meant. Anyway, Coptis chinensis has been rising since the new goods came down last year. I'm talking about 37 selling selected films, and you're probably talking about one. ”

"Why did I hear that Coptis chinensis is cheaper?" Ma Xiang was obviously a little disappointed.

"Drop, it's impossible. At the beginning of last month, a single branch (a type of Coptis chinensis. And it has risen sharply!" The man suddenly realized, "If you want to talk about the price drop, the single branch is a bit compared to last month." ”

Qu Guangquan was puzzled when he heard this: "Hey, comrade, the price of Coptis chinensis has increased as a whole, so why is the price of a better single branch lower?"

"Why is the price dropped? It's just that a group of people suddenly came last month, and they bought it when they saw a single branch. Originally, it was only sold for 38 or 39 kilograms, but some people saw that these people were eager to buy goods, so they blindly asked for 50 yuan, but as a result, they also bought 50 yuan! There are also a few people who run out of business (equivalent to drug distributors buying and selling packages and taking commissions) and have also received requests from big customers outside and asked for prices all over the market. Who do you say that the price has risen, a kilogram has risen by more than ten yuan in a few days, then we are not crazy to do Coptis chinensis, all over the country to catch a single branch, and there are people in other places who listen to it, and they are also desperately pulling to Qizhou. ”

"Is it that after pulling in, there are too many goods. Ma Xiang asked eagerly.

"Yes, the single stick on the market now is enough to sell for two years. Do you think you can not drop the price?"

Qu Guangquan was puzzled: "This year's goods, not how many years to sell can not be sold, as long as there are goods in the market, it is easy to sell!"

"You layman, brother! It's hard to meet a single branch company that wants a big cargo! Go to a big cargo, chicken feet (also a kind of Coptis chinensis) is a big cargo, and a single branch company is a high-quality product selected from Coptis chinensis, and it has to be thick, and there is no hair, except for the most particular pharmacies in Yanjing, pharmacies like Tongrentang are used, and our general pharmacies are all used in chicken feet. Not to mention the large goods of the pharmaceutical factory, which are all connected with chicken feet. If you think about it, it's all genuine coptis, and a kilogram is a few dollars cheaper!"

"Can it fall below 35?" Ma Xiang asked a question from a kindergarten child.

"Dude, you're stupid! If it falls to that price, people will sell it as chicken feet, and it will definitely sell better than chicken feet!"

Ma Xiang had a sad look on his face: "Boss Qu, go to the medicine store and have a look." ”

The situation in Qizhou Pharmaceutical Market is very similar to that in Qiaozhou, the business scene is hot, and there is a boom!

Chuanxiong and Yunmu incense have skyrocketed, and the price is one or two yuan higher than that in Qiaozhou.

There are a lot of booths in Coptis chinensis, but the price is not cheaper than Qiaozhou, and the asking price of a single branch is basically the same as that of Qiaozhou, which is between 42 and 44, and it is resolutely not sold if it is low.

asked three families in a row, and the situation was almost the same, and Ma Xiang's face became a little stiff. "Didn't you say that the price was dropped? Why is it still the same price as the family!"

Qu Guangquan thought for a while: "You may not understand what people say, they are saying that their single branch in Qizhou is cheaper than last month's price, didn't that person say, last month there was 50 yuan a kilogram sold, now it is only 42 a kilogram, isn't this a price drop!"

"I, Cao, knew that it was pulled from our house last month, and one kilogram is not the minimum net income of 6 yuan!

Ma Xiang was like a defeated soldier, dejected, and walked out of the market with his head down.

While comforting Ma Xiang, Qu Guangquan visited the Qizhou Chinese herbal medicine market and felt the restless atmosphere of the Chinese herbal medicine market in this era.

At this moment, a young man, holding a bottle of paste, walked to the propaganda board, took out a piece of red paper from his bag, smeared it with paste, and pasted it.

Qu Guangquan was very curious, pulled Ma Xiang to look, and saw that it was written:

....................................... notify

I have five tons of Sichuan and Chongqing real estate Sichuan Huanglian (single branch), due to the need for capital turnover, sold at a low price,

If you are interested, please contact us at XXXXXXXX

The young man was about to leave after pasting, but was grabbed by Qu Guangquan, "Comrade, may I ask how much is a kilogram of your single stick?"

The young man shook his head: "We don't quote in the market!"

Qu Guangquan said: "I want to buy five tons. ”

"If you want to buy it, you can call the phone number and you're good to go. ”

Qu Guangquan found the post and telecommunications bureau, opened a phone call, and when he heard that Qu Guangquan wanted a single company, he was very enthusiastic. After some bargaining, he said that he could sell it for 40 a kilogram, but if he wanted to live, he had to buy all five tons of goods before he could sell it.

Qu Guangquan put down the phone: "Hey, Ma Xiang, how about the price of 40 a kilogram?"

"I don't make much money by buying it back plus freight, Boss Qu, it's a single branch, a few hundred kilograms are enough to sell for a year, if you buy five tons, when will you be able to sell out." It will be difficult for the goods to rise next year, let alone make money, and it will not be enough for interest money!"
