Chapter 119 Joint-stock pharmacy
Early the next morning, Shen Xi's aunt Yang Shen went to the pharmacy alone to discuss things, obviously Yang Linghe felt that he came with his wife yesterday, and there were many things that he couldn't discuss with Hui Niang, who was a widow, so he simply explained to his wife and let Yang Shen come to negotiate.
When talking about things, Yang Shen found that Shen Xi stayed in the room to do his homework, and his brows furrowed, but when he saw that Hui Niang and Zhou had no intention of driving people, he couldn't help it.
Yang Shen mentioned the matter of borrowing money as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was three hundred taels of silver, and he didn't say when he would return it, but just blindly played the emotional card, making it difficult for Zhou to help.
Zhou's heart was soft-hearted and was about to agree, but Hui Niang preemptively refused: "Sister Shen, it's not that we don't want to help you, but we really can't catch it." Or you don't know much about the situation of the Shen family, every time Sister Zhou gets money from the pharmacy, she pays the old lady of the Shen family in full, and we open a pharmacy in the county, and we can't earn a few taels of silver, so we are really powerless to help. ”
Yang Shen's heart sank, and she heard the potential meaning of these words...... It's not that I don't want to help, but this kind of help without any return Hui Niang doesn't accept it.
Yang Shen looked at Hui Niang eagerly: "Sister Sun, if it weren't for the two of us being desperate, we wouldn't have put down our faces and come over for help...... The business of Fucheng Pharmacy is not good, but Yang's Pharmacy is a century-old brand in the end, if it is destroyed in the hands of my father-in-law, we will have no shame to go to Jiuquan to see our ancestors. ”
Shen Xi understood it, saying that so many aunts still wanted to borrow money, but they didn't mention anything about the shares. People in this era attach great importance to family inheritance, and falling into the hands of others is as unforgivable as betraying their ancestors.
Hui Niang looked at Zhou, afraid that Zhou would be soft-hearted if she continued to say this, after all, Zhou had more than two thousand taels of silver stored in her hand, and even if she lent out three hundred taels, it would not hurt her muscles and bones. Hui Niang said: "Otherwise, the sister of the Shen family will go back and discuss with Lingfu first, if there is really no way, you might as well use the Yang family's land deeds and the deed of the shop around Fucheng as collateral, but you can barely borrow it." ”
Yang Shen's face was a little ugly, and when he talked to her husband about this at home, she also thought about taking the house deed and title deed as a mortgage, but when it came to this point, it was a little difficult to accept emotionally. Yang Shen was extremely frustrated, got up and said, "Then I'll go back and discuss it with Xianggong, so I won't bother much." ”
The second negotiation still had no results, and when the people left, Zhou sighed: "At the beginning, I was still envious of the child's aunt marrying well, but now look at it, each family has its own difficulties." ”
Hui Niang smiled and comforted: "Why should my sister envy others? Now that my sister has a husband who hurts, a son like Xiaolang, and even a virtuous daughter-in-law, what else is there to ask for? ”
Zhou came back to her senses, smiled and didn't say anything about Shenma, she didn't want to continue talking about this, so as not to arouse the sadness of her good sisters.
Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi: "Xiaolang, yesterday you complained that you didn't hear anything discussed, but this time you heard it with your own ears, what do you think?" ”
"I still agree with yesterday's opinion, since my aunt and uncle borrowed money and didn't say when they would return it, they either mortgaged the house deed and the land deed, or divided the shares, we only need to get sixty percent of the dry shares, the pharmacy is nominally the Yang family, and the specific operation will also be handed over to the Yang family, but the decision-making power must be in our hands, and we can ...... it."
Shen Xi didn't continue, because he suddenly remembered that the old lady said yesterday that she would no longer mention the medicine.
Hui Niang added: "What do you mean...... Can we sell over-the-counter medicines at Yang's pharmacy? ”
"Hmm......" Shen Xi nodded.
Hui Niang didn't mind this matter at all, and thought about it seriously before saying, "It's still not safe enough, even if we are willing, the Yang family may not be willing...... If something goes wrong, this is not a trivial matter, and without the prescription prescribed by the doctor, if it is troubled by the government, it will definitely bear a lot of responsibility. ”
Shen Xi heard that Hui Niang was not resistant to making medicine, how to say it was her will to pass away, when the plague occurred, she also prescribed medicine to regulate the body of the patient, and Hui Niang did not have any overreaction at that time.
Shen Xi said with a smile: "Aunt Sun, don't forget, you are a famous goddess doctor from far and near, Aunt Sun said that the prescription is good, who dares to say that it has no effect?" Even if there is a problem, it is an individual case, and it is a cure for minor problems, and we can completely remedy it in time. ”
"I heard that in Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, there are doctors in the big pharmacies, and when you go to ask the people who take the medicine in the future, we will directly ask the doctor to set the dosage for them, and the people feel that taking the medicine is cheaper than taking the medicine and dispensing it themselves, and they will slowly get used to it."
Hui Niang couldn't help but smile on her face and looked at Zhou: "What does my sister think of Xiaolang's proposal?" ”
Zhou didn't know how to answer, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister, you just decide." ”
Hui Niang carefully recalled Shen Xi's words, and felt that there was no problem, so she immediately decided: "Then the matter is settled, Sister Lao and I will go to the inn tonight, and we will have a good talk with the Yang family." ”
After nightfall, Hui Niang and Zhou took Xiu'er and Xiaoyu to the inn together, and talked to Yang Ling and his wife about opening a pharmacy in Tingzhou Fucheng, but Shen Xi did not accompany him.
After going for an hour, the man came back, and Hui Niang had a few thin pages in her hand. Shen Xi was waiting anxiously, and when he saw this, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Mother, Aunt Sun, how are you talking?" ”
Hui Niang sat down, Ning Er went to pour tea, and Hui Niang drank it before she smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, you can take a look." ”
Shen Xi took it and saw that these pages were not the house deed and the field deed, even if Yang Ling and his wife were ready to mortgage the family property, they would not bring such an important thing with them, but it was a contract reached between Hui Niang and the Yang family on officially cooperating to open a pharmacy. Because the stock is still very new in this era, the contract only stipulates that sixty percent of the profits of the pharmacy will be obtained by Lu's pharmacy, and the Yang family still has the right to operate the pharmacy.
Shen Xi thought to himself, Yang Linghe thought that as long as he was still the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, others would not think that he had sold his ancestral property to others, and he would not forget his ancestors.
Perhaps Yang Linghe was secretly relieved that he finally didn't mortgage the land and real estate that were the last straw, and signed such a contract without any guarantee to get the much-needed white flowers and silver, which can be regarded as an empty glove white wolf.
“…… This time, he helped the Yang family pay off their foreign debts and purchased a batch of medicinal materials at the same time, which cost at least more than 200 taels of silver. According to the contract, we cannot publicize the matter of investing in Yang's Pharmacy, but we have the final say on how the pharmacy will operate in the future. Hui Niang said excitedly.
After two years of careful management, Lu's Pharmacy has gone from making ends meet to making a little profit, and then expanding from one store to two after becoming popular, and now it has done business in Fucheng, which can be regarded as a successful career. Now she has no sustenance in her feelings, so she can only focus all her energy on how to take care of the business left to her by her husband.
Shen Xi nodded: "Aunt Sun is going to Fucheng to take care of her in the future?" ”
"Probably not."
Hui Niang didn't think about this matter, "With the Yang family taking care of it, whether it is a profit or a loss, there are people over there to take care of it, and it is not very convenient for us in the past." ”
Shen Xi shook his head again and again: "I'm afraid that the Yang family can't be trusted, let's give them the silver now, and they also promise to give us sixty percent of the shares of the Yang family's pharmacy, but if we tell them the prescription and business philosophy of the medicine, they have made money, what if they don't admit it?" ”
"Just rely on this paper without a notary deed, I'm afraid that if we sue the government, the government will only sentence the Yang family to pay us a little silver, and the shop is still the Yang family."
The smile on Hui Niang's face immediately froze, and it was not unreasonable to think about Shen Xi's words carefully.
Because there is no concept of shareholding in this era, whoever owns the shop is who's family, even if the Yang family divides sixty percent of the shares, it is still owned by the Yang family, the Yang family makes money and wants to regret it, because there is no precedent to follow in the government, according to common sense, the Yang family is usually sentenced to give Hui Niang some money as compensation, and finally the Yang family is awarded to the Yang family.
At that time, no matter how much energy and effort Hui Niang spended, she would just make wedding clothes for the Yang family in vain.
When Hui Niang hesitated, Zhou unceremoniously slapped Shen Xi's head: "Stinky boy, then you are an aunt and uncle, how can you think of people so badly?" ”
Shen Xi argued: "Mother, don't forget our family's tea shop, when you handed it over, you didn't think it would become like this, it was still your grandmother and second uncle, aunt She married into the Yang family is the Yang family, as the saying goes, brothers settle accounts, even if we don't have a harmless heart, but we can't help but plan for the worst." ”
Zhou couldn't refute these words, thinking that when she handed over the tea shop business in pain, she felt sad in her heart, which was the root cause of her dislike with Shen Mingjun, and the fundamental reason why she hadn't told her husband that she was the major shareholder of the printing workshop until now.
