Chapter 103: Borrowing Money
After Taotao recovered from his illness, Dongmei called several good sisters to her home and prepared to borrow money from them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hongxia and Song Nian's daughter-in-law sat on the bed, and Dongmei and Wang Xue'e sat on the ground with a small bench.
When Dongmei told everyone that she was going to go to the provincial capital to wholesale medicines and then sell them back, and hoped that someone would partner with her to do this business, everyone was stunned.
What do they think, they can't figure it out, Dongmei's family members are going to be doctors, this is too bold, right?
In that era of serious information blockage and information asymmetry, everyone always felt that doctors were a very sacred and mysterious profession.
However, Dongmei doesn't think so, her brother-in-law Baoguo is a doctor, she knows that doctors are not as mysterious as everyone thinks, not to mention that she is not going to be a doctor, but just selling medicine, cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, stomach pain medicine, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, bruise medicine, gynecological medicine and so on.
Although everyone knows that there is a serious shortage of medical care in the nearby villages, and although everyone, as a family member, wants to have a job of their own, no one has the vision and courage of Dongmei, as well as advanced awareness.
Dongmei explained to everyone for a long time, and told everyone that this business, no one is doing it for the time being, it is a big blank, as long as you do it, you will definitely be able to make money.
However, after listening to it for a long time, no one agreed to partner with Dongmei to do this business.
Song Nian's daughter-in-law put the glasses on her nose, helped them up and said, "Dongmei, you just said that this business can be done, but how did the medicine come from?"
Dongmei simply stood up, and she explained to Song Nian's daughter-in-law: "The provincial capital is the largest city in the five northwestern provinces, as well as a wholesale and retail place, where there is not only a rehabilitation road for wholesale clothes, but also a place for wholesale medicines. “
Compared with Dongmei's courage, Song Nian's daughter-in-law felt that a woman going to a city as big as the provincial capital alone, unfamiliar with life, was not only dangerous but also easy to be deceived, and it was not certain whether she could buy real medicine, let alone do a pharmaceutical business, so Song Nian's daughter-in-law was the first to quit.
Hongxia is quite interested in this business, after all, she often plays mahjong, has a lot of contact, and has a lot of courage.
However, she also had doubts in her heart, and asked Dongmei: "Dongmei, you have entered these medicines, you go to the village to sell medicines, what if you prescribe the wrong medicine?"
Dongmei has also thought about this problem carefully, although she is not a professional doctor, but there are detailed instructions on each medicine, and she can follow the instructions to administer medicine.
In addition, Dongmei is also going to buy some simple medical books to study.
And she also prepared another hand, if she really can't hold what medicine to prescribe to the patient, she can not sell this medicine, or go to the clinic to ask a professional doctor, and then sell this medicine to the patient.
Although Dongmei told Hongxia the Tao, Hongxia always thought that family members were family members, that is, family members who had no culture and no knowledge, how could they become a doctor through study, it was simply impossible, so she chose to quit the second.
In the end, Wang Chaoying's daughter-in-law Wang Xue'e was left.
Wang Xue'e and Dongmei's personalities are relatively similar, as a family member, like Dongmei, she also dreams of having a job, and she even has the idea of selling bread and cakes.
However, because she couldn't buy an oven and didn't know where to buy the cream needed to make cakes, Wang Xue'e had no choice but to give up.
When she heard that Dongmei was going to do a medicinal herb business, she was also shocked.
Shocked, she felt that this was feasible and capable.
So, she asked Dongmei, how much does it cost to invest in this thing, and how to sell it?
To be honest, Dongmei doesn't know how much money to buy and how to sell it?
But she knew that selling medicine was like selling popsicles herself, and she had to ride a bicycle with a medicine box in the back and walk the streets to sell it.
When Wang Xue'e heard that she needed to walk the streets and alleys to sell, sweat dripped from her forehead.
Her dream job was to stay at home, open a small window in the back of the kitchen, sit in the window, and wait for someone to come and buy something.
And Dongmei's walking through the streets and alleys is seriously inconsistent with her ideal job.
So, she asked Dongmei, can she stay at home and sell medicine, what if she doesn't go out?
Dongmei bluntly rejected Wang Xue'e's idea, she told Wang Xue'e that the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, especially medicine, if you don't sell it, who knows that you are selling medicine?
For this reason, Wang Xue'e also withdrew, leaving Dongmei alone in the middle of everyone, like a statue.
Dongmei felt very sorry, she felt that she had finally discovered such a good business, and no one was going to do it with her.
Hongxia, Song Nian's daughter-in-law, Wang Xue'e After withdrawing, you look at me, I look at you, thinking that Dongmei will definitely give up this idea after she has no partner.
However, what they didn't expect was that after Dongmei saw that no one was working with her, she simply chose to do it alone.
So, she directly borrowed money from the three of them and said: "Since you don't do it, then I'll do it, but I don't have the start-up capital now, any of you have extra money there, lend me some for the time being, it's over, the medicine is profitable, I'll pay it back to you immediately." “
Although everyone is not ready to join Dongmei's army of selling medicines, there is still something to borrow money for, after all, everyone knows that Dongmei and Weiguo are both honest people, and they must repay if they borrow, so they are relieved to lend Dongmei boldly.
Hongxia lent Dongmei 500 yuan, and Song Nian's daughter-in-law and Wang Xue'e lent Dongmei 300 yuan.
In this way, Dongmei has a start-up capital of 1,100 yuan.
In this way, Dongmei set off when everyone was not optimistic.
She sent a telegram to her uncle and learned that the place to wholesale medicines in the provincial capital was on Hancheng Road in the western suburbs, and that as long as she didn't go to the very small shop to buy medicine, or buy the kind of medicine that was too much lower than the market price, she would not buy fake medicine under normal circumstances.
Sitting on the long-distance bus to the provincial capital, Dongmei still sewed the money into her big pants.
Although Dongmei has passed through the provincial capital at least ten times, she has not visited the provincial capital once.
So this time, after Dongmei decided to buy medicine, she must take a walk around the provincial capital, take a photo, and then go back to northern Shaanxi.
After a long day of turbulence, Dongmei finally arrived in the provincial capital in the evening.
As before, Dongmei stayed in the cheapest hotels.
As for eating, Dongmei carries steamed buns and holds a kettle, and basically doesn't eat in restaurants.
In winter, the provincial capital is warmer than the Loess Plateau, but the nights are still cold.
Dongmei curled up in a hotel with no heating, no stove, and no electric mattress, and survived a difficult and cold night.
The next morning, Dongmei picked up some hot water at the front desk of the hotel, ate the cold steamed buns, and headed towards the Seoul Road Medicinal Herb Wholesale Market in the western suburbs.
