Chapter 89: Reckoning
Zuo Shaoyang already knew from the words of the medicine cabinet that the medicine cabinet was very interested in his own preparation method, and he was very determined, but he didn't sing a tune with him because of this, he wanted to retreat as advance, which would be more beneficial to himself. At the moment, he sighed and said: "The old man saw it very accurately, I was very confident in these concoction methods, but I am a small person, I said how good these concocted medicinal materials are, no one believes them, and they will bring me back in a word-Since it is so good, why are you Guizhitang still poor like that?" ”
Zhu medicine cabinet nodded and said: "Well, that's because they don't understand the situation, to be honest, I didn't believe you concocted this medicine before, if I hadn't personally concocted the medicine for you, and boiled the medicine myself, after many people in our medicine store checked, it was the original medicine, and the effect was obvious after taking it, I really can't believe that these concocted medicines have such benefits." Hey, hey, hey."
"It turns out that the old man insisted on using your medicinal materials, and only asked me to concoct the medicinal materials and hand them over to you, and you decocted the medicine yourself, the purpose is to check whether the medicine has been dropped by me, the old man is very cautious, hehe."
Zhu Yao's laughter: "To be honest, the old man still attaches great importance to this old life, I decided to take the medicine concocted by your unknown little man, this is already a big risk, but this risk must be taken, because the old man has to taste it with his own mouth, and personally judge how well you concoct the medicinal materials, so as to decide whether to partner with you to do business and make a lot of money." Haha, so, the old man thinks this adventure is worth it! Hahaha"
Zuo Shaoyang waited for his laughter to stop, then sighed and said, "Alas,; Uncle, it's not my positive surname to hit you, only you know the benefits of these medicinal materials I concocted, and other doctors in Langzhong don't know and don't recognize the medicinal materials that have been concocted by me. I'm afraid it won't sell. If nothing else, let's just say that a few days ago, I took a bag of purple stone to your bank to sell, this purple stone is hard and abnormal, according to the previous processing method, the smallest can only be concocted into millet grain size particles, and with my method, it can be concocted into a powder-like fine powder, even if it is used in ophthalmic medicine, it is not a problem. However, after the shopkeeper of your bank saw it, he made an excuse to push it off and refused to buy from me. Therefore, if I want to sell the medicinal materials concocted by my new method, I am afraid that it will not be so easy. ”
Zhu medicine cabinet leaned over, stared at Zuo Shaoyang, and said in a low voice: "This old man has also thought about it, according to the old man's opinion, the reason why these people are suspicious is mainly because they don't understand the preparation method of these medicines, and they are worried that there is a problem with the dressing added to it, and they are afraid that they will make a mistake when they use it." Therefore, as long as you tell the old man the method of concocting these medicinal herbs, and the old man tells them this when he sells the medicine, they will also understand it, and naturally they will no longer have doubts! ”
Zuo Shaoyang tilted his head to look at him, and said lightly: "Then, won't they just know it themselves, so why bother to come to us to buy it?" ”
"It's different, the medicine concocted by our pharmacy is also used in many method pharmacies, but they still come to buy it from me, why? It's because they don't have the free time to do this, and they would rather spend money on ready-made ones. Moreover, we process it in batches, the cost is low, the cost is low, the price is cheap, and it is still cost-effective to buy from us, so even if they know how to concoct it, it will not affect the business of our medicinal herb store. ”
Zuo Shaoyang scolded in his stomach, you are my three-year-old child? Naturally, your medicinal herb shop will not be affected, but I told you, will you still give me money for no reason in the future? didn't bother to talk to him around the bend, and said bluntly: "Then how do we Guizhitang make money from it?" ”
"This is easy to do, first calculate the current profit of our medicine store, and then sell the medicinal materials processed by the new method in the future, and then calculate the profit from the sale, that is, calculate the new profit after the new processing method, and we will add five to this part. How is it? ”
"Who calculates this profit?"
"Naturally, we are here to calculate, is it possible that you still don't believe in me?"
Zuo Shaoyang said secretly in his stomach, I really can't believe you, the medicine store is yours, you have the final say on how much medicine you sell, how much it costs, how much it will add, besides, I told you all the preparation methods, after that, I won't do anything, can you be willing to give me dividends? shook his head and smiled at the moment: "It's not a matter of trust or distrust, uncle, it's better to be responsible for this concoction and sales separately, you sell, we concoct it." Isn't that simple? ”
Zhu Medicine Cabinet heard that Zuo Shaoyang did not agree with his suggestion, and felt slightly disappointed, hearing him say this, his eyes rolled, and he immediately smiled: "This is okay, otherwise, you just sell me the concoction method, and I will give you a good price, how about it?" ”
Zuo Shaoyang smiled and shook his head.
Chuanwu, Caowu, Aconite and Aracea are one of the most commonly used herbs, how to concoct and detoxify, involving the use of related prescriptions, is a very important processing method, Zuo Shaoyang is not ready to sell such a method, such a method is best monopolized in his own hands, in order to make a lot of money in the future, can not be too short-sighted, only see the small profits in front of him, that is not a big deal.
I wish the medicine cabinet a slight disappointment, but I remember that Huimin Tang bought it for Guizhi Tang, and Guizhi Tang didn't sell it, so I wasn't surprised. He stroked his beard and thought about it, and then said: "Otherwise, our Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store hired you as a processing master, and you are in charge of the processing of medicinal materials in the processing room of our Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store, and you can make it yourself behind closed doors." I'll give you ...... a month, well......, this is 1,500 wen! How is it? Hehe, you can ask all over the world, who can afford to pay the salary of the concoction master, except for our Hengchang Pharmaceutical Company? How? ”
Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, the monthly salary of 1,500 is indeed a lot, but I went to your Hengchang medicine store to concoct medicinal materials, even if I concocted them behind closed doors, the preparation of medicinal materials is not comparable to dispensing, as long as the configuration of secret drugs masters the key technology, in a hut where no one is sure to peek, it can be done in a while, and the concocted medicinal materials are not good, screening, crushing, cutting, rinsing, soaking, stuffing, water flying, as well as frying, broiling, scalding, calcining, simmering, steaming, boiling, stewing, etc., many processing methods need to be repeated for a long time and many times, In particular, in a place like a medicine store that specializes in concocting medicinal materials for sale, the amount of medicinal materials that need to be concocted is very large, and it is often impossible for one person to complete it, and it is impossible to do it covertly. People don't need to peep directly at all, and experienced concoction masters only need to deduce your concoction method according to the ingredients, time, tools, etc. you use. Therefore, the leakage of pharmaceutical materials in Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store may be too big, isn't that sending them technology? You can't do this stupid thing!
Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said: "This is still not very good, since it is a partnership to do business, do you think it is appropriate for me to come up with an idea?" ”
"Okay, you can hear it."
"Let's sign a processing contract."
"Oh?" Zhu Medicine Cabinet had never heard of this term, and looked at him suspiciously.
"Actually, it's very simple, that is, we Guizhitang and your Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store have signed a contract of division of labor and cooperation, you are responsible for providing medicinal materials and sales, and you can judge the number of medicinal materials entrusted to us according to your sales situation. We are responsible for processing and processing, we don't care about sales, we only process the medicinal materials provided according to your entrustment. You pay us a processing fee, which is the cost of concocting the medicinal materials. It's crisp and clear, and it avoids ripping. ”
Zhu Yao's face sank: "You still don't believe the old man, since that's the case, forget it!" You please! ”
Zuo Shaoyang smiled faintly, stood up, arched his hand, didn't say a word, turned around and left.
Seeing that he was about to walk out of the door, Zhu Medicine Cabinet finally sighed and stopped him, "Wait a minute! You're back! ”
Zuo Shaoyang showed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, fortunately he didn't run just now, and he didn't let the other party know his hole cards. His expression was flat, he turned around and walked back, and arched his hand: "What does the old man command?" ”
"Sit!"
Zuo Shaoyang took off his robe and sat down.
Zhu Medicine Cabinet stared at him for a moment, and asked slowly, "If it is as you said, then how much processing fee do you need?" ”
At this point, Zuo Shaoyang already has an idea, whether the medicinal materials concocted by the new method can be promoted and profitable, at this stage, he can only rely on the medicine cabinet and their Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store, and rely on the business network of their medicine store to promote it, they are the big head, and it is the key, so the processing fee cannot be set high at the beginning, so that he can make a profit. As long as these concocted medicinal materials are promoted in the future, pharmacies and medical centers are willing to buy them, and they have discovered the benefits of these concocted medicinal materials, they are inseparable, and the technology is in their own hands, and then it is the time for them to really make money.
Zuo Shaoyang smiled faintly and said: "Uncle also said last time, I am not a person who is greedy for money, since just now you said that you will give me a monthly salary of 1,500 Wen every month, it will be according to this standard, sign a one-year contract, a total of fifteen taels of silver, how about it?" Zuo Shaoyang estimated that it would take one year to promote the new drug, which was about the same, so the contract period was determined to be one year.
Zhu Medicine Cabinet smiled: "What about after the expiration of the year?" ”
"If you want, you can renew the contract."
Zhu Yao's eyes lit up: "The renewal processing fee is still 1,500 wen a month according to the original deed?" ”
Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Let's discuss it after the expiration of the period, you can increase it if the business is good, and of course, if the new drug can't be sold, it can also be reduced." Go with the market, and we will discuss the content of the specific contract at that time. ”
Zhu Yao leaned on the bamboo chair, looked at Zuo Shaoyang meaningfully and said: "You are very good at business, let us help you sell new drugs, and after a year, you can sit back and enjoy the results, sit on the ground and start the price, if not, you will sell it yourself and change the door." Hey, Gao Ming! ”
Zuo Shaoyang smiled faintly and said, "Why don't you look at the loss I have suffered this year?" I have been to your bank, and I also have an impression of the sales volume you mentioned, and it can be expected that in this year, the money you will make from the new drugs I concocted will only be 100 times that of me! Moreover, you are a time-honored brand, and you are the first medicine store to do this business, and those pharmacies and medical centers recognize your brand, and they will come to you to buy it in the future, and your business will not be affected much. This old man won't be able to settle the account, right? ”
