Chapter 32: The Pill to Make Money
Wen Hui likes to hear these things the most: "You guys are really capable." It was a good idea to sell the pill to the army. On the one hand, these medicines are available in the army, which are easy to carry, simple to use, and can play a big role when critical, which is a good thing to save lives and help the wounded. On the one hand, we can also make a lot of money. ”
Mingzhu laughed and said: "Yes, for this big order in the army, we have also spent a lot of effort, and we have specially studied the bone-setting plasters specially used in the army, as well as ointments and pills such as hemostatic powder, which are very popular in the army." Of course, we also made a profit, but our pharmacy is too small, and now we are using troops against the barbarians, and we need too many pills to complete our orders. I've opened two more semicolons and hope to do a little more. ”
Wen Hui nodded and said: "It's a good thing to be able to expand, but you must grasp the quality, this is a matter of human life, and you can't ignore it." ”
Mingzhu Yan got up and said: "Naturally, it is precisely because I want to grasp the quality, so I only opened two branches, mainly because there are no skilled people." ”
Wen Hui said: "Okay, I'm relieved that you can do things, and besides, there must be no problem with Aunt Hu's checks." By the way, do we make a lot of money? ”
Mingzhu smiled and said, "So you also care about the fact that our pharmaceutical factory makes money?" For so many years, you have always asked me to donate the dividends of the pharmacy directly to the hospital, I thought you didn't care about the money all along? ”
Wen Hui said: "I naturally care, but you also know that I don't lack this money, rather than letting this money sit idle with me, it is better to put it with you and let you help me send it to the hospital, I believe that the hospital will make good use of this money and give it to those people who need it." ”
Mingzhu said: "Actually, today I was about to talk to you about this money. ”
Wen Huiqi said: "What do you have to say about this money, hasn't it always been used in hospitals?" ”
Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, "That's how much money you need for the current hospital." I don't know why we don't know how much money we get each year. ”
Wen Hui said, "Oh? In this way, our pharmacy is very profitable, and by the way, we have a big order in the army. It's definitely making a lot of money. ”
Mingzhu smiled proudly and said, "Yes, we can earn more than 300,000 taels of silver a year now." ”
Now Zi Wenhui is not calm, there are so many, this is going to catch up with her dividends in Shanghai, how can there be so much?
Wen Hui asked: "How big is the big list in our army?" ”
Mingzhu said: "In fact, the list in the army is only half of our daily sales. The income is relatively small, only a list of 600,000 taels of silver every year. We just earned 100,000 taels of silver, after all, this is a life-saving medicine for the soldiers, and I am not embarrassed to earn so much. However, I still have to deal with some officials. Therefore, the net profit is only about 100,000 taels of silver. But it is precisely because there is a large single deposit in the army, so we have a good reputation among the people, the people. Merchants, officials, wealthy businessmen, etc. all believed in our medicine, so our business became popular, and we could earn more than 300,000 taels of silver this year. By the way, there is also the money we resell medicinal herbs, which can probably account for fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver. ”
Now Zi Wenhui is strange. Asked: "How do you resell medicinal herbs?" ”
Mingzhu said: "Because we have been making medicine for a long time, there are more channels for medicine, and many have established relationships and supplied us for a long time, so." Our medicinal herbs are the richest, the best, and the most, plus we have always been kind to others and never talked to our peers. Sometimes the unfinished orders are handed over to them to do some simple work such as drying medicine and sorting, so many pharmacies have a good relationship with us. We are rich for everyone to earn. Most pharmacies do not have such a complete range of medicinal materials. Therefore, these pharmacies will buy from us when they encounter medicinal materials that they don't have, so that we will also sell some medicinal materials to them, and the key is that there are many such things, and we have to make a little money anyway, so we resell the medicinal materials. ”
Now Zi Wenhui understood: "This is not all the goods and will not be sold for money." Our goods are complete. However, it is difficult to complete the traditional Chinese medicine, because there are many kinds and the production areas are all over the world, it is difficult to have a pharmacy with all the medicinal materials complete. In this way, we have become the merchant with the most complete range of medicinal materials, no wonder we make money. ”
Mingzhu said, "I still have something to discuss with you." In addition to this dividend, there is also something about the development of the pharmacy. In fact, in addition to the large orders in the army, the pharmacy also has a more profitable method. ”
Wen Hui asked, "What method?" ”
Mingzhu said: "Because our tea is sold overseas, I know a little bit about sea trade. In fact, our pill business is still very profitable overseas, and the profit is many times higher than in the Central Plains. At first, the tea merchants we cooperated with went to our tea factory in the Central Plains, and found that we still had a pill business, and it happened that a tea merchant was sick, and I used one of the pills to get rid of his minor illness, and he immediately felt that this medicine was very convenient, so he bought some medicine from me and brought it back for his own use, I think this is not a large-scale sale to him, but he used it at home, and he was afraid of something, so he sold some to him. Who knows, when he came the second time, he told me that he had sold all those pills, and in fact, the profit was more profitable than tea, but the amount I gave him was too small, and it would be nice to have more. However, I remembered that you said that these pills were not sold overseas, so I did not dare to sell them to him. ”
Wen Hui thought about it and said: "Actually, I have expected this patent medicine to be sold overseas to make money, but I don't want to sell the patent medicine to hostile countries, isn't this equivalent to supporting them to fight with us?" However, I think I have changed my mind, after all, there are few countries that are at war with us, and now the biggest enemies are the barbarians, and then the Hu people in the northwest will sometimes come to fight with us, and the rest of the places are relatively peaceful. By the way, the Yi people faced by the Wang family sometimes fought with the Central Plains, and the red people faced by the Li family, in addition to these people, there were few people who opposed us in the Wa Kingdom, in Silla, Goguryeo, and Nanyang. It's not as good as this, the Wa Kingdom will not sell for the time being, and the rest of Nanyang, Silla, and Goguryeo can sell some, and it is good to make more money. ”
Mingzhu said with a smile: "It's enough to have these places, in fact, our current output is too small, the list is many, but it can't be done, the Central Plains is still a little short of supply, how much can be sold overseas?" ”
Wen Hui smiled and said, "This is not a problem. I've got you a lot of pharmacists. I met the Hei family on Yizhou Island, and now they listen to me very much, they have a medicine refining hall, and the professionals are called many, and they have studied medicine for thousands of years, and they have rich experience. After the spring starts, they will be able to come to the capital, and when the time comes, I will give you some people, and you can get your pharmacy. With this manpower solved, won't you be able to produce more medicines? In addition to this, you can send someone to assist the Hei family in establishing a medicine workshop on Yizhou Island, so that a few more workshops can produce more medicine? ”
Mingzhu was very happy and said: "I knew you had a way, according to what you said, we will definitely make more money next year." ”
Wen Hui smiled happily.
Mingzhu said: "Oh, the matter of this money has not been talked about yet." I want to tell you, you have more than 70,000 silver in dividends a year, you can't take it all to the hospital, right? The hospital can't use so much money, right? Do you put 10,000 yuan in the hospital and you take the rest? ”
Wen Hui smiled and said: "I don't need any money now, why don't I use it to do good deeds, isn't it better to use it for people who need it more?" ”
Mingzhu was very moved and said: "Actually, I had already guessed that you would say this, and I knew that you would use all this money to do good deeds." Wen Hui, you haven't changed, you're still so kind. ”
Wen Hui quipped: "Don't put a high hat on me, come on, you must have an idea." ”
Mingzhu glanced at her and said, "Actually, our family can't spend so much money now, so I have been investing five thousand taels of silver in the hospital every year." This is for my parents-in-law. My parents-in-law appreciated it. Later, our family's tea farm made more money, and now the pill business is more profitable, so I bought some sacrificial fields for the clan, and also set up a clan study, and also set up a Yangshan Hall for the clan, which specially sheltered some widows and lonely old people who had no one to serve them, and some widows and orphans, and specially set up an annual money and food for them, so that the old people could enjoy their old age in peace, and the widows and orphans could be bereaved and grow up smoothly. also specially opened a medicine hall to administer medicine to the clansmen who could not afford to see the sick. This alone will cost all the year's profits. But it has a lot of influence in the clan. Our Liu clan was originally a small clan with a small number of people, but now the clan is working together and thriving. Hee-hee, of course I got a good name. “
Wen Hui nodded and said: "Actually, this reputation is also secondary, I think your method is a foolproof strategy, the court has a law that stipulates that even if it is a big crime of copying the family, do not copy the sacrificial field." This will ensure that future generations will have books to read, medicine when they are sick, and widows and lonely people can take care of them. ”
Mingzhu Qi said: "Your Xiao Chen family has just been separated, where is the need, now your family population is so small, only one of you, and the second generation is only three of your brothers and sisters, where is the use?" ”
Wen Hui said: "Everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, don't you understand what to do?" Taking advantage of the fact that the family is in its heyday, it is not good to prepare all the qiē? ”
Mingzhu smiled and said: "You, you have the most brains, so it's okay, anyway, the last thing your family lacks is silver." By the way, I'm going to talk about the money for doing good deeds, why is this big piece of gossip? ”
