Chapter 82: Fate
A thick stack of silver tickets was placed on the coffee table, and Cheng Kaikai drank tea, looking at the people below who were excited but did not act, and did not seem anxious at all.
The price is very high, and everyone is naturally satisfied.
But the problem is that it is difficult to find these medicinal materials now.
Not to mention that these medicinal materials are not originally produced locally in Guide Mansion, Gu Xuanfei and Niu Xinsheng have been looted twice before and after, how much can there be left in the entire Guide Mansion?
There may be some spare herbs in the store or in hand.
But after all, it is a spare medicine, which is to be used by the patient, and it needs to be supported for the whole year of next year. Not to mention four times the price, ten times the price, I'm afraid no one will sell it.
"I'll do it!"
To everyone's surprise, it was Yue Ran who was the first to stand up and walk up to Cheng Kaikai and pick up the five hundred taels of gold and silver tickets.
In fact, Yue Ran was not interested in these profitable business gods.
These are the things that men should do, and she didn't want to come to today's invitation.
She just wants to open her own pharmacy quietly, learn some medical knowledge from Su Baiyi, and then, as Su Baiyi said, carry forward the knowledge she has learned and pass it on to the people of the world, and then go to save the patients in the world.
It's as simple as that.
The reason why I came today, the reason why I was the first to stand up and be willing to do business with Cheng Kaikai, was naturally Su Baiyi's meaning.
"Good, good, good!" Cheng Kaikai wanted to applaud, but unfortunately he only had one hand, so he could only nod heavily, and said with a smile: "Don't let it, Doctor Yue won't let her eyebrows, Cheng admires." ”
Yue Ran received the silver, then signed another contract, and hurried out of the Spring Moon Building after drawing the charge.
After Yue Ran signed, everyone still looked at me, and I looked at you.
After Qiu San got Wang Minde's head, he also stood up decisively and said, "I am also willing to do my part for Mr. Cheng." ”
"Mr. Qiu, please!"
Cheng Kaikai made a gesture of invitation, invited Qiu San to the coffee table, gave a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and the two sides signed an agreement.
At this point, Cheng Kaikai still reminded: "Mr. Qiu only has three days, and after three days, no matter whether Mr. can send herbs or not, Cheng will lead the team south." Of course, if Mr. Qiu really can't get the medicinal materials, Cheng will not be embarrassed, and he can return the deposit to me. ”
In this kind of business, you don't need to pay liquidated damages for breach of contract, you only need to return the deposit of others, which is already a big bargain for Qiu San.
"Okay, Mr. Cheng, don't worry, within three days, someone Qiu will definitely be able to get the medicinal materials you need."
……
A few days ago, when Niu Xinsheng came to Guide Mansion to buy medicinal materials, he could hardly find a star in the entire Guide Mansion at that time, because before him, Gu Xuanfei had already collected all the things he needed.
But in that case, Tongjitang actually got two carts of medicinal herbs.
made a windfall.
At that time, Qiu San's eyes were so red that he almost provoked to kill someone.
Of course, Qiu San will not really kill people, nor will he patronize the red eyes and do nothing else. He is a businessman, a man who has been in the bottom business for 20 years.
According to Wang Minde's idea for him, after Tongjitang sold the medicinal materials to Niu Xinsheng, he began to find a way to start with Tongjitang's work and maids, all kinds of inquiries, and all kinds of bribes.
Even, he also sent his cronie Xiao Qi to find out where the two carts of medicinal materials came from along the way.
It turns out that there really is no impermeable wall under the sky.
There are always some people who are forced by life to choose to give in and betray under the temptation of power.
Qiu San spent a full sixty taels of silver to learn the true origin of their batch of medicinal materials from the work of a peripheral running hall in Tongji Hall.
It's Suizhou!
Tongjitang's two large carts of medicinal materials are all from Suizhou.
That guy was also a "conscientious" person, not only told Qiu San that the medicinal materials came from Suizhou City, but even personally took Qiu San to the place where there were medicinal materials in Suizhou to "identify the scene"
Qiu San sighed at that time: Tongjitang's gang of Zidu Nima is a bad person, and this little brother is the best.
Afterwards, he had a private contact with the owner of the medicinal herbs in Suizhou City, and people didn't like him at all, so he had no choice but to take the lower route.
After opening up the joints inside and outside the family, I saw the real owner.
The owner of the medicinal herbs is a middle-aged man about forty years old with a beard on his face, his eyes are gloomy and sharp, and he has a temperament that is as immobile as a mountain, and his first impression is that he has experienced it from the field of life and death.
Sure enough, after understanding, Qiu San knew that this thing was a soldier.
is still an officer, called Liu Daqing.
He is still an officer of extraordinary status.
This guy is in the army, it should be said that he is a military medical officer, who is responsible for procuring the medicine needed by the army.
No wonder this merchant has medicinal materials in his hands, no wonder the whole Guide Mansion can't find things that Tongjitang can find, so that's the case.
Qiu San had a sense of transparency after suddenly opening up the second pulse of Ren Du.
The two went to the kiln together and got drunk, and after drinking, Liu Daqing took Qiu San's hand and told him from the bottom of his heart: Do you know why I can be such a fat military medical officer, not only do I not have to go to the front line to work hard, but I can also fish for oil and water in the back? That's because I'm a distant relative of Yuan Da Sima's family.
No wonder!
Qiu San thought of it as soon as he was excited, Yuan Dasima was also from Suizhou.
Returning the favor, since Liu Daqing is in his heart, Qiu San naturally has to show his own appearance, while Liu Daqing was drunk, he also told Liu Daqing a secret: The medicinal materials that Tongjitang bought from him were not used to prepare medicine to save people, but as a second-hand dealer, and sold it at twice the price in Guide Mansion.
Liu Daqing's eyes were red at that time, and in a fit of anger, he pulled out the cross-knife on his waist, and split the wine table in front of him in half with one knife, clamoring to go to Guide Mansion to find trouble with Tongjitang.
Therefore, although only the little lady from Tongjitang and the two of them took over the order of Cheng Kai's opening today, Qiu San sneered in his heart: Now it is not as good as before, if you go to Suizhou again if you can get medicinal materials from Liu Daqing, it will be hell.
After returning to the big car shop, Qiu San prepared a little, and hurried out with the job "Xiao Qi".
As soon as he walked not far, the car was stopped by Wang Minde.
"Qiu San, if you have a way to make a fortune, you forgot about my brother?" Wang Minde seemed to be smiling, and his face was still a little unhappy.
Qiu San was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded the old fox, but he had no choice but to say with a smile on his face: "That's impossible, aren't I going to find you, Brother Wang, since you are here, it's just right, let's go to Suizhou together." ”
"Good ......" Wang Minde was not polite, waved his hand and took four or five men into the car, followed Qiu San's car, and squeaked all the way towards Suizhou Mansion.
The place where Liu Daqing, the military medical officer, was located, not Suizhou City, but in a countryside about five or six miles west of Suizhou City, a small house, and behind the house were two huge warehouses.
There are all kinds of medicinal herbs piled up in the warehouse all year round, so that you can smell the smell of Chinese medicine from a long distance.
From afar, Qiu San got out of the carriage and tidied up his clothes below, trying to make himself look more elegant. Although he likes to be rough with himself, he can't help it!
Compared with a soldier, it is the tip of the horns, which should make him feel like a spring breeze.
"That's it?"
Wang Minde also got out of the car, looked around with his eyes, and easily saw the big courtyard.
"When I arrived, there was General Liu's house in front, did I see it, there were more than a dozen sergeants guarding the door in the medicinal herb warehouse behind!" Qiu San stretched out his fat finger and pointed forward.
Wang Minde looked in the direction he pointed, and his body suddenly shook: "Good guy, really magnificent." ”
"Huh......" Wang Minde rubbed his eyes, looked forward carefully, stretched out his neck like a duck, and said, "Whose car is that, why does it look a little familiar?" ”
Qiu San also saw it!
Tongjitang's car is a bit special and bigger!
Before treating Yuan Keli's illness, Yuan Shu gave Su Baiyi a luxury version of the carriage, and Su Baiyi retreated. When Tongjitang opened, Yuan Keli borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and gave the car to Yue Ran.
Yue Ran thought that the car was too luxurious, so he made a little modification and ripped off some excessive things on it, but the skeleton of the car did not move, and the frame was still so big.
The two of them looked at each other, and their faces darkened.
They were fast enough, and after getting the news, they went home to pack their things, and only stayed for less than an hour, which was preempted by Tongjitang again.
"It's Tongjitang again!"
Wang Minde felt that he and Tongjitang seemed to have a grudge in their previous life, and they always ran into each other in this life.
"Let's go......" Qiu San didn't even bother to get into the car, pulled Wang Minde and ran straight forward, and said as he ran: "It's okay, if there is no accident, General Liu should not cooperate with them." ”
The last time we drank together, he said bad things about Tongjitang, and Qiu San still had this confidence.
However, although Tongjitang may not be able to obtain medicinal materials, as long as they raise the price, they will be passive, at least, the price will be raised.
Maybe it's a coincidence.
When Qiu San dragged Wang Minde all the way to the door of Liu Daqing's house, he happened to meet Su Baiyi coming out of Liu's house in a dashing manner, and a person who looked like a housekeeper followed behind and persuaded: "I'm sorry, it's not that the general of our family is unwilling to sell, it's really urgent for the imperial court, this batch of medicinal materials should be sent to Liaodong in a hurry, if it is delayed, it will be a matter of losing his head." ”
"I know that there are priorities, and I don't dare to blame General Liu, so I will take my leave." Su Baiyi saluted the housekeeper, and when he turned his head, he saw Wang Minde and Qiu San.
Qiu San naturally saw him too, not only did he see him, but he also heard the conversation between the two just now.
"You ...... How can you ......" Su Baiyi was taken aback, and when he pointed at the two of them, an expression of disbelief and extreme shock swelled on his face.
Qiu San sneered: "Yo, it turned out to be your little white face, we are really fateful, hahaha!" After speaking, he said: "I seem to owe you a deposit of thirty taels of silver, Qiu someone is not deceived when he does business, and I hope that the little brother will find out the contract and hurry up to exchange it, although the silver is not very much, but Qiu is difficult to feel at ease!" ”
"Heh......" Su Baiyi sneered and waved his hand to go out, "Don't worry, you will be at ease soon." ”
