Chapter 17 Loss-making Sales
Profiteering through monopoly can be said to be a means of inferiority.
But Xu Yi is not ashamed of this, because he knows that he is creating advanced productive forces to transform society. It is not through the exploitation of the people of this age to benefit.
Therefore, Xu Yi has no moral burden at all.
Besides, after the large-scale application of the drop pill method, the drug penetration rate of Daming will also increase, and this step will treat many people and save the lives of many people, and these people should also be grateful to Xu Yi.
Still, as the old saying goes.
Humans don't thank Xu Yi.
Humanity doesn't thank anyone either.
They may be grateful for a short time because someone has been kind to them.
But if later, if you hurt their interests. They will use the most cruel means of their lives to deal with their former benefactors.
...
The nineteenth year of Jiajing, November, the first day of the new year.
Yinqiao pills began to be sold, and in order to prevent scalpers from hoarding, each person was limited to 40 pills.
Xu Yi had already thought about the advertising slogan of Yinqiao Pill, and posted it early on this day and pasted it all over the front of Zheng's Medical Center.
Ginwarp Pill!
Made of pure natural Chinese medicine!
Get fit! Solid foundation Peiyuan!
Don't get sick and eat to strengthen your body!
Sick eat and run around on the ground!
Give your family a solid arm!
Zheng's Pharmacy, you have a solid backing behind you!
...
Xu Yi sat on the second floor of Zheng's Pharmacy, looking at the long four queues in front of him, the momentum was huge, as if it was a weekend purchase on the earth.
The location of Zheng's Pharmacy is in the suburbs of Huating County, which is more than ten miles away, and the liveliness here does not affect Huating County at all.
The government of Songjiang Prefecture is in Huating County, and the county government of Huating County is also in Huating County.
The essence of a prefecture is all in this city, and most of the wealthy people, as well as officials such as prefects and counties, live in this city.
Therefore, this Huating county can be said to have the most "rich people" in Songjiang Prefecture.
It can be said that this is a serious piece of "big fat sheep" for Xu Yi to be slaughtered.
But don't panic, you have to do business one by one, sell the countryside, and then sell the city, and the leeks will be cut in two waves.
Now it is sold to the countryside Yinqiao Pill, which can be said to be very cheap.
Ten cents a piece, Xu Yi subsidized five cents to go out, barely reaching the cost price.
It can be said that basically, it is impossible to recover the cost, it does not make money, and it purely subsidizes the people.
This can be regarded as Xu Yi's subsidy to the people, but is Xu Yi stupid?
Xu Yi is not stupid, he is more shrewd than anyone else.
The world is bustling, all for profit.
The world is crowded, and all are profitable.
Xu Yi's purpose is actually not so simple as subsidizing the people.
If there is no benefit, Xu Yi can play Zheng Qi and use his dream of making a fortune to find himself a coolie.
But the reality is not like this, this world is very fair, there is a give, there will be a return.
Of course, this benefit needs to be fermented and it will take some time before it can be fully revealed.
The current Xu Yi is not in a hurry at all.
Purely subsidizing the common people, this business seems to be mentally retarded, but it has allowed Xu Yi to gain inner peace.
It's good to do charity!
..
At this time, the "shopkeepers" contributed the largest shipment record, and Xu Yi found more than a dozen agents one after another.
Nearly 200,000 Yinqiao pills entered the two counties under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture at a price below cost, and some even flowed out of Beppu, benefiting most of the poor people.
These poor people have no money to see Langzhong, no money to take medicine, and they don't even have the courage to live.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this wave of cold currents at sea has passed too violently, making this winter extremely difficult.
Maybe without Lin Yi, there will be many people who can't survive this winter and become a skeleton that unfortunately freezes to death.
They only know that someone gave them a chance to live for the price of a bowl of small rice.
The people of the Ming Dynasty at the bottom are pitiful and pathetic.
They may not know the meaning of life, but there is still the most primitive gratitude and retribution.
Perhaps in the near future, when they understand who took care of them, they will also use their own small grass-like strength to try their best to repay their benefactors.
..
Xu Yi has finished charity, and now the spearhead should be aimed at the rich people in Huating County.
Huating County is a very prosperous place, here is the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain, is the most fertile place in China.
Some people like it here and call it the unparalleled Jiangnan in the world.
Some people are disgusted with this place and call it the nest of the Donglin Party.
Xu Yi doesn't care what others think of the city in history, their ideas are based on history, and they are basically unable to be subjective.
Xu Yi just wants to turn the world upside down in this place as an outsider.
..
19th year of Jiajing, November, 15.
Most people in Huating County have heard that half a month ago, a place called Zheng's Medical Center sold a pill called Yinqiao Pill.
I heard that the treatment of wind and cold has a miraculous effect, and it was sold out of stock, and the scene was very hot, but at that time, there were relatively few people in the city to buy it.
The main reason is that there are too many people in the countryside there, and people in the city are not dignified to go and will be ridiculed by others.
And many sources have shown that this pill is very effective in treating wind and cold, and it also has the function of strengthening the body, which attracts people in the city to be ready to move.
As the days passed, the New Year was coming, and it could be the coldest New Year in Songjiang Prefecture in more than a decade.
19th year of Jiajing, November, 20th.
The wind and cold disease in the city suddenly became a serious problem in the city.
The outbreak of the wind chill was even more tragic than that of the loose farmers outside the city.
Compared to the sparsely populated areas outside the city, there are many people inside the city, and it is easier to spread this disease, which is mainly transmitted by droplets.
There are not enough langzhong in the city, and every family goes to the medicine shops everywhere to sell medicine, but there are no medicinal materials at all, and people are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
I don't know when, the wind and cold medicinal materials in Huating County disappeared overnight.
It seems that God deliberately plunged Huating County into a cold storm.
Some insiders in the medicinal materials industry pointed out that the wind-cold medicinal materials in Huating County basically disappeared half a month ago.
And the largest medicine shop in Huating County, Baicao Pavilion.
Now it's closed, people go to the building, and there's nothing left.
At this time, some people began to notice Zheng's Medical Center, why are all Chinese medicine shops in the city out of stock, why do you have to sell them?
Zheng's Medical Center, half a month ago, the pharmacy that sold Yinqiao Pills to the countrymen became the target of public criticism for a while.
Yinqiao Pill is a special medicine for wind and cold, and it has also become everyone's consensus.
People began to flock to the Zheng Doctor's Center and began to prepare to buy Yinqiao Pills.
And when people came to Zheng's Medical Center and saw the price of Yinqiao pills.
The price looks very beautiful.
