Chapter 120: A Journey to the City of Fu
After thinking for a long time, Hui Niang said: "Xiaolang is right, if you can really make a lot of money when you look back, people are not of the same mind as us, why should you give us the money earned from the pharmacy handed down by our ancestors?" Xiaolang, what do you think can be done to prevent it? ”
"If Aunt Sun can develop the pharmacy chamber of commerce into the prefecture, and all the pharmacy shops in the eight counties of the prefecture will be connected and advance and retreat together, whoever violates the rules will be punished...... At that time, even if his uncle's pharmacy made money, he didn't dare to forget his righteousness because he was afraid of the pressure of the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Hui Niang shook her head helplessly: "Isn't this too difficult?" ”
"Even if it's difficult...... Nowadays, the pharmacy business in Tingzhou Fucheng and the surrounding prefectures and counties is not easy to do, but because of the existence of the Chamber of Commerce, the purchase price of medicinal materials in Ninghua County is relatively low, but because the purchase volume is very large every time, and the funds are returned quickly, those medicinal material merchants like to trade with us. ”
"Aunt Sun can go to Fucheng to contact those who are in the pharmacy business and spread the experience here. Although the Ninghua Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce is small, it should still have connections in Fucheng. ”
Hui Niang nodded with relief.
As Shen Xi said, the reason why the pharmacy in Ninghua County did not collapse like other places is mainly because of the existence of the Chamber of Commerce.
The reason why it is difficult for foreign pharmacies to operate is that medicinal herb dealers have to leave room for risk-taking prices. In order to avoid losing money, they set the price inflated, and if they meet a pharmacy to do business with them, they will not reduce the price because of the small amount of each shipment and the limited profit.
But the Chamber of Commerce is different, every time it is several or even dozens of pharmacies together to buy goods, this large single transaction often sweeps away the backlog of goods of the medicinal herb dealers, so as to eliminate the concerns of the medicinal herb dealers, as long as they can reach a deal with the Chamber of Commerce, even if the profit is less, but the return of funds is fast, convenient and trouble-free, and the money earned will be more.
The formation of the chamber of commerce is a win-win situation for pharmacies and medicinal material merchants, and the medicinal material merchants will naturally give more preferential treatment after dispelling the concern that the medicinal materials cannot be sold and rotting in their hands.
Hui Niang was still a little worried after thinking about it: "Just going to Fucheng like this, I'm afraid I won't know how to talk to those people when the time comes." ”
Shen Xi said with a smile: "It's not Aunt Sun who is going alone, you can take the pharmacy shopkeeper in Ninghua County with you...... The larger the scale of the chamber of commerce, the greater the purchase volume of medicinal materials, and the more beneficial it is for running a pharmacy. ”
"If the Chamber of Commerce can be developed into Tingzhou Mansion, and then the eight counties of the whole province can be brought in, how big do you think the scale of this Chamber of Commerce should be? At that time, the merchants who sell medicinal herbs will rush to sell their medicinal herbs to the Chamber of Commerce at a low price, and all the pharmacies will benefit from it...... Why don't they do it when they give money away for nothing? ”
Shen Xi paused and continued to add, "As for contacting the pharmacy manager in Fucheng, you can completely hand it over to your uncle, the Yang family has been running a pharmacy in Fucheng for many years, and most of the peers must know each other, so it is only appropriate for him to come forward to contact." ”
After careful consideration, Hui Niang's hesitation on her face no longer existed, and she was replaced with the confidence of a strong woman: "Tomorrow, let's go and talk to the Yang couple and promote this matter as soon as possible." ”
Originally, even if Hui Niang took a stake in Yang's Pharmacy, at most she would extend her tentacles to Fucheng, where it was difficult to make a difference if she was unfamiliar with the place, but if Hui Niang went to Fucheng as a family member of the Ninghua Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce, the situation would be very different.
If you were someone else, you might not have such appeal, but Hui Niang was praised by the court for her meritorious service in treating the plague, and after the matter was publicized, the people of Tingzhou Mansion knew about it, and even the people of Fucheng were grateful to her for inventing cowpox to save the people from a catastrophe, and many of them gave her a place to live. Coupled with Hui Niang's experience in successfully operating the Ninghua Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce, it was perfect for her to go.
Shen Xi didn't tell Hui Niang about his proposal to open a printing workshop in Fucheng, he felt that now was the critical moment for Hui Niang to expand the pharmacy business, and he couldn't be distracted.
As for the printing workshop, it can be put off for a while.
When Hui Niang gained a foothold in the Fucheng pharmacy industry, it was a good opportunity for the two cooperative businesses to fully expand to Tingzhou Fucheng.
……
……
The next day, Hui Niang discussed with Yang Ling and his wife about the establishment of a pharmacy chamber of commerce in the capital city of Tingzhou.
Yang Linghe disagreed when he first heard it, because it would expose the secret of his selling the shares of Yang's Pharmacy to others, but now Hui Niang did not take out the silver, and he still had to beg Hui Niang, so he had to promise to help the center contact after going back, but there was no guarantee that it would succeed.
Hui Niang kept convening the proprietors and shopkeepers of the Ninghua County Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce to discuss the matter, originally all the pharmacies wanted to reduce the purchase price of medicinal materials, so that they could still make money in this bad year, plus Hui Niang's expansion plan was to expand the Chamber of Commerce from a small place like Ninghua to Fucheng, purely to a small Bo Da, they naturally agreed, but they did not think that there was any hope of success.
But in any case, Hui Niang has the support of all the pharmacy owners and shopkeepers of the Ninghua Chamber of Commerce, and they will send representatives to take a trip to Tingzhou Mansion with Hui Niang.
Hui Niang is about to set off, and there are still many taboos as a widow, such as going to the government to run a road guide, and preparing manpower. She completely handed over the printing workshop and pharmacy business at home to Zhou, and she only took Xiu'er with her family on this trip to Tingzhou City, so that she could take care of her on the road.
Before parting, Zhou was afraid that something would happen to Hui Niang on the road, so he had a lot to explain.
Hui Niang has never gone out alone, she used to follow her husband when she went south and north, and when she arrived in Ninghua, the couple chose to settle here, and they never went out of the county after that.
This time she was going to travel far away, she still had concerns in her heart, and in addition to Xiu'er, she also selected a few strong, sincere and down-to-earth guys from the printing workshop as bodyguards.
On September 17, Hui Niang finally hit the road.
Lu Xi'er stood at the door of the pharmacy, and after seeing her mother go away, she began to cry, and finally Xiao Nizi threw herself into Shen Xi's arms, refusing to let go, and she refused to even go to school when Shen Xi wanted to go to school.
"Xi'er, your mother is just going out for a few days, and she will be back soon, and she will bring you a lot of delicious and fun things when the time comes." Shen Xi persuaded bitterly.
"I want my mother's ......"
"Xi'er, don't you always say that you want to grow up quickly and not let your mother worry? Now is your chance to behave, let your mother see, you have grown up and sensible, and you are no longer that little slug. I'll sleep with you tonight and tell you a good story when the time comes. ”
"I want a mother!"
Shen Xi was speechless for a moment, and Lin Dai next to him looked at him with a little dissatisfaction.
At the beginning, Lu Xi'er couldn't stop crying because Hui Niang went out to run errands, and pestering Shen Xi and Lin Daishang could tolerate it. But later, Lin Dai found that this little sister had been in the arms of her future father-in-law for a long time, and her every move, word and deed was no different from being coquettish, and she clearly did not take her as a "big woman" in her eyes.
"That's it!"
Lin Dai couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a tight face, "You still have your mother back, my father and mother are gone, where can I go?" Woohoo......"
Lin Dai cried and ran to the backyard, which made Shen Xi even more headache...... One didn't comfort him, and the other made a fuss again!
Zhou Shi watched from the side for a long time, shook his head and scolded: "Stinky boy, hurry up and go to the school, you will be late if it's too late." ”
"Mother, I'll go to the thatched house and go to school in a while."
Shen Xi said a word, tore Lu Xi'er's hand and walked to the backyard, who knew that Lu Xi'er was dragging the corner of his clothes, and even if Shen Xi wanted to enter the thatched house, she didn't want to let go, so she was completely on the bar.
Xiao Nizi has no father since she was a child, and her mother loves her by her side, and later she has two more playmates, Shen Xi and Lin Dai, so that she is no longer lonely and lonely. Originally, she should have been more intimate with Lin Dai, who was also a girl, but Lin Dai occasionally lost her temper, and Lin Dai was three or four years older, so Xiao Nizi only had Brother Shen Xi in her heart.
Shen Xi pinched Lu Xi'er's little face with his hand and said, "Xi'er, if you don't behave, Brother Shen Xi won't like you." ”
As soon as she heard this, Lu Xi'er's clutched hand finally let go, her big eyes blinked twice, and she was about to cry again.
Shen Xi hurriedly said again: "Look at your sister Dai'er, she has no father and mother since she was a child, and she is lonely. Now that the two of us are her relatives, we have to love her well, right? ”
Lu Xi'er's eyes widened and she thought about it carefully, and finally nodded her little head.
"In that case, let's go in and persuade her, if she is sad and sick, who will play with us in the future?"
Now the little Lori finally stopped mentioning her mother and looked at Shen Xi obediently. Shen Xi said in his heart that he still has to use a little "special" method to educate children, in fact, children also have a sense of responsibility in their hearts, but it is difficult to inspire it, when she is given a noble mission to help others, she will temporarily forget the current suffering.
Shen Xi took Lu Xi'er into the room, on the bed in the room, Lin Dai buried her head in the futon and cried so much that her voice was almost hoarse, which showed that Lin Dai was really sad instead of making her careful eyes angry with Lu Xi'er.
"Little daughter-in-law, don't cry, you don't have a father, and we still have us." Shen Xi stepped forward to comfort her, but Lin Dai didn't react at all, and she couldn't stop crying.
Shen Xi was pondering how to persuade him, when Zhou didn't see him come out for a long time, and walked into the backyard with a broom.
"Don't talk about it."
Shen Xi saw that the situation was not right, and took advantage of the fact that the old lady did not find him, so he hurriedly slipped away, "Come back at night to tell you a story, don't run around." ”
Shen Xi didn't have time to persuade Lin Dai, so he returned to the room and picked up his schoolbag and came to the yard, Zhou came up with a broom and was about to fight, but when he saw Shen Xi stretching out his hand to block instead of dodging, he was stagnant in his hand, and he couldn't bear to drop the broom.
"Go to school quickly, Dai'er misses her father, and it's okay to let her cry for a while, but if you delay your studies, you're really sorry for her...... You're going to make her a lady, you know? ”
Shen Xi grimaced: "Mother, I think you want to be Mrs. Fate." ”
Zhou was annoyed, and waved the broom down, but fortunately, Shen Xi reacted in time this time and slipped away a long time ago.
