Chapter 551: The Bailing Family has finally made a move
Regarding the closure of major pharmacies, Lu Sheng had already expected this, and this was what the grain merchants in Chuzhou did at the beginning. Playing the card of Chuzhou pharmacists by himself is enough to mess them up.
But life is like a play, full of surprises. You never know, the unexpected or tomorrow will come first.
When you are at your most proud, the god of fate will always play a joke on you and pour cold water on your head.
Only one day later, the three major pharmacists hurriedly went to Xuantian Mansion to find Lu Sheng to call the shots.
"Lord Lu, we went to urge the Bailing family last night, but their medicine has not been delivered for a long time. When I went to urge them again this morning, they said that there was something wrong with the price we agreed on, and that the price would increase beyond their minimum price. The contract has been signed, and I have never seen such a price on the ground. ”
"Is there a price contract for the drug?"
"It's all because we were confused for a while, we originally thought that there was Lord Lu as an intermediary, and they didn't dare to play any tricks and made a verbal agreement. But I didn't expect them to turn their faces faster than they turned books. ”
Lu Sheng's face suddenly became gloomy, he had introduced the three pharmacists in Chuzhou to the Bailing family before, and Bailing Nanfei received him very warmly, and he also agreed to sign a contract for the supply of medicinal materials. During the contract period, the two parties have maintained business cooperation. It cannot be torn up unilaterally unless there is a valid reason.
However, the price of medicinal materials is not set in detail in the contract, and even if it is too late. But I didn't expect the Bailing family to play a trick and tear up the contract so neatly.
If the price of medicinal herbs has not been negotiated, what could be more legitimate than this reason? What is the purpose of doing business? In order to make money, money is the most basic.
However, the Price Protection Law only applies to the price of goods sold to the common people, but the price negotiation between businessmen is not covered by the Price Protection Law. It's like two businessmen, one is the original factory and the other is an intermediary dealer. The price at which you sell is fixed, and the price of the transaction between you is negotiated by yourself.
However, there has never been a case where the price of origin is higher than the legal selling price.
"How long will your inventory last?"
"Two days at most, if there is no new herb replenishment, it will be sold out quickly. ”
"I'll go to the Bailing family and ask if they want to take advantage of the opportunity to make war money...... That official will let them know what death is!"
Seeing off the bosses of the three major pharmacists, Lu Sheng hurriedly took the two of them to the Bailing family. Hundreds of miles, less than an hour to arrive.
"Oh, Lord Lu is here to welcome you from afar...... Forgiveness of sins and forgiveness of sins. Lord Lu, please inside!"
"No, the official came to ask you just one sentence! Why don't you sell the medicinal herbs to the three medicine shops that the official introduced to you?"
"The adults don't know that the price they offer is too low. Ordinary medicines, the price they prescribe is quite appropriate. However, if you really want to buy the medicine of the Bailing family, their price is a little worse.
The Bailing family's reputation for hundreds of years, the cards, are still worth a little money......"
At this point, Lu Sheng understands that the price of the same thing is indeed higher than that of miscellaneous brands. However, the drug price customized by Lu Sheng is the basic drug price in Chuzhou.
It stands to reason that the price of drugs in Lanzhou, which is poorer, should be lower. Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's eyes wandered, and he asked with a little unhappiness, "How much does the Bailing family have to raise the price before they are willing to sell?"
"Sancheng, it can't be lower!"
"Sancheng?" Lu Sheng's voice suddenly raised, "Raising Sancheng is already more than half of the price of medicine in Chuzhou, and the economic strength of the people of Lanzhou still can't afford it." ”
"There's really no way to do it, my Bailing family can't do good deeds alone, and there are still tens of thousands of people under the Bailing family to feed......"
Lu Sheng took a deep breath before his anger subsided. Lu Sheng is not good at fighting war of words with others, although he is a learner, he can definitely be reasonable. But since he took charge of Xuantian Mansion, he has always been able to move his hands and try not to move his mouth.
Lu Sheng knew that in the past, the prescriptions prescribed by major medical centers were just adding some seemingly expensive but useless medicines, which was the reason why people couldn't afford to buy medicines. The basic price of drugs does not actually exceed the price protection law.
You were able to sell it at the beginning, but now you can't sell it. Either the Bailing family is determined to make war money, or the Bailing family is actually in cahoots with the Hades behind the scenes.
coldly gave Bailing Nanfei a warning look. Bailing Nanfei was still smiling all over his face, not caring at all about Lu Sheng's warning.
"The Bailing family is so self-conscious, if you figure it out one day, come to this official again. ”
Lu Sheng said, his figure disappeared in a flash.
Back in Xining City, Lu Sheng once again convened the three major pharmacists, and Lu Sheng said directly without the slightest politeness.
"The Baili family is determined to deal with us, but this is a business conflict, and the official has nothing to do with him. But before that, the official had heard Bailing Nanfei say that the medicinal materials of the Bailing family accounted for seventy percent of the market, and the remaining thirty percent were bought from local small medicine farmers, medicine pickers and ordinary people.
Since the Bailing family does not cooperate, we will directly collect medicinal materials from those medicine farmers and medicine pickers. I will post an announcement, and then send Xuan Tianwei with you to buy medicine near the medicine farmers in Lanzhou and Yaoshan. I don't believe it anymore, I can't cure him. ”
"However, even if we take all the three percent of the medicine, I'm afraid it won't be enough, right?" asked the pharmacist, a little confused.
"The current shortage of medicinal materials is due to the backlog of people who used to be unable to see patients. Over time, some patients recover from this hunger. If it is not enough at the moment, we will buy medicine from Qinzhou. ”
"This ...... That's too expensive, isn't it?"
"You don't have to worry about the cost, the official will reimburse you. ”
"That'...... Thank you, my lord!" got Lu Sheng's promise, and the three major pharmacists left hand in hand with satisfaction.
"Lord Lu is still the same Lord Lu, and he would rather suffer a loss himself than let his subordinates suffer. Follow Lord Lu, and feel steady. ”
"Isn't that nonsense? We are all from Chuzhou, even if we are in Lanzhou, Lord Lu is still our blue sky. In Chuzhou, how did Lord Lu come to be a Buddha of ten thousand families? Isn't it a little bit made by Lord Lu to live up to the people?"
"I don't know how long Lord Lu will stay in Lanzhou, but the people of Chuzhou are looking forward to Lord Lu going back as soon as possible. ”
"It's almost time to come, and when it's over here, Lord Lu should go back. Hasn't the case of Mo Cangkong of the original Xuantian Mansion been solved? Wasn't the murderer beheaded the day before yesterday?
After all, it was Lord Lu, seeing that he was busy all day and night without stopping, why did he solve the case quietly?"
The three of you left without saying a word, and returned to the temporary residence outside the Xuantian Mansion. This was also for their safety, Lu Sheng strictly ordered them not to leave the protection of Xuantian Mansion.
Fortunately, the previous investigation of Xuantian Mansion also made it clear where there was a medicine garden, which mountain produced herbs, where the people lived by hunting, and where the people lived by collecting medicines.
So looking for those medicine farmers, Xuantianfu is no stranger at all, and under the whip of the horse, he immediately rushed to various places with the account office guys of the three major medicine stores.
Bai Fei Village is a small village near the Baiwen Mountains. Don't look at the village, it's not big, but the scenery is beautiful and the people are outstanding. In Lanzhou, most of the mountains are barren rocky mountains, and Baiwen Mountain is one of the few green mountains and green waters.
Since ancient times, Baiyi Village has been collecting herbs for a living, and everyone in the villagers can identify herbs, and everyone is a doctor. Before you get close to Bai Fei Village, you can smell the strong medicinal fragrance from a distance.
Herbs don't just pick to have a fragrance. Instead, it needs to be dehydrated before it can have a unique aroma of medicinal materials.
The sun had just broken through the clouds, and the morning humidity had just dissipated. The villagers of Baiyi Village began to chase the footsteps of the sun, the men went into the mountains to collect medicines, and the women and children stayed at home to process the medicinal herbs they had collected yesterday.
Suddenly, the calm of the village was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves, and a team of red-cloaked horses rushed towards them with a fast gallop in the distance.
When the old man of the village saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly shouted to the villagers to hurry up and hide. The strong men left behind were blocked at the entrance of the village, watching the fast horses rushing warily.
Although there were only seven or eight people, if they were bad people, they could also deal a devastating blow to the village.
The fast horse suddenly stopped as it approached the entrance of the village, and seven or eight men rolled over and dismounted.
The villagers of Bai Fei Village looked at the uniforms of Xuantian Mansion and were a little afraid to recognize them. They look like officials of the imperial court, but they rarely leave the village, and the officials they see are only officials of the government. It seems that the official is not wearing this, right?
"Don't be nervous, we are Xuan Tianwei, may I ask, is this Bai Fei Village?"
"Yes...... Yes...... You guys...... What are you going to do?"
"I heard that Bai Fei Village makes a living by collecting medicine? ”
"Buy medicine, you're not from the Bailing family?"
"What, do you only sell your medicine to the Bailing family?" asked the bookkeeper who was the leader frowned and asked a little unpleasantly.
"It's been several generations, and it's all sold to the Bailing family,...... the old woman said with a smile, "But if ordinary people come to me to buy medicine, we are willing to sell it, how many medicinal materials do the guests want?"
"What about all?"
"All of them?" the old woman was surprised, "what do you want so many medicines for?"
"This old lady, we run a pharmacy. ”
"Why don't you go to the Bailing family to buy the medicine? I heard that the pharmacy in the city all buys from the Bailing family, and they don't want to sell it to them. ”
"The market is different, can we go in and see the medicine? If the price is right, we can take it right away." ”
"Okay, good, come in, everyone, don't hide, come out, you're here to collect medicine......"
The quality of the medicine in Baiyi Village is really good, and the account clerks look at it door to door, and the quality and condition are very good. When asked about the price, the bookkeeper was shocked.
It was only one-third of the price he expected? And the Bailing family came to collect the medicine and picked and chose to take back the deduction, if they were not happy to serve, they would not want it directly. Bai Fei Village lives by collecting medicines, and lives a poor life guarding the medicine mountain.
When the account office issued the price of the medicine, the villagers of Bai Fei Village still couldn't believe it, and after confirming it repeatedly, they were even more ecstatic to hand over all the medicine to the account office.
Seeing the villagers dancing excitedly, the account guys thought that they were not merchants who came to collect medicine, but the God of Wealth who came to give them money.
And in villages like Baiping Village, there are more than a dozen or so families around the Baiwen Mountains. The three major pharmacists took action, and the troops were divided into multiple ways, and what was originally thought to be a difficult task was completed in one day. 2k reading web
