The head of the Xinglin Pavilion walked around the study like a sleepy beast. He slammed the ledger onto the pear blossom wood desk, and roared at the steward under his hand, "What's the matter? Sales in the past two months have plummeted, and they are not half of what they used to be. Who's going to explain it to me? ”

Xinglin Pavilion has a total of 12 branches in the country, to say that the branches of a certain city, because of unavoidable reasons, sales have decreased, and it is just that. Of these 12 branches, each sales have decreased by four or five percent, and some have decreased even more. There's definitely something greasy about that. However, these stewards have been with him for more than ten years, and they can all be trusted. Even if they make some money in private, it is impossible for them to take their salaries from the bottom of the kettle and cut off their own livelihood.

"Daddy!" His son Chang Qingsong couldn't wait to speak, "Baicaotang is too much, squeezing our Xinglintang everywhere, maliciously lowering the price of medicines, often holding free clinics for the poor, and pulling away a large number of customers. ”

"Driving down prices? Are we still afraid of his surname Zhao? Price reduction, I don't believe it, their Zhao family can still reduce it to the cost price! The head of the Chang family stared at a pair of cloudy old eyes, and his nostrils were whirring and panting. Xinglin Pavilion and Baicaotang are competitors to each other, and over the years, they have stumbled each other.

The Wu shopkeeper under him hurriedly said: "Family master, I can't help it!" The price war has always injured the enemy by 1,000 and self-inflicted with 800, and in the end, both sides were defeated, and others benefited! Besides, Baicaotang didn't know where to get the pills and sweeteners...... What is it called 'granule', it is sold in limited quantities every month. Lao Yu privately calculated, Baicaotang in Pingzhou, the sales of these two drugs alone are tens of thousands of taels a month! ”

"What kind of potion, what the hell is that?" The head of the Chang family is obsessed with beauty on weekdays, and he is negligent in the management of the family industry, and the news is lagging behind, he frowned and said impatiently, "You have too much moisture in this news!" Not to mention Baicaotang, it is Tongrentang, and the outside branch may not be able to sell 10,000 taels of pills in a month. Besides, the cooperation between Baili Pharmacist and Tong Ren Tang will not expire until next year, where can he Zhao Zidan get pills? ”

"Daddy! My son asked people to investigate, and it was true! Baicaotang in Wuzhou sells nearly 50 pills a month, especially the 'Liuwei Dihuang Pill', which regulates men's problems and is the most popular, and it has been fried to a sky-high price of 1,000 taels! Chang Qingsong was so anxious that several fire sores rushed out of his mouth, and he couldn't sleep all night in pain!

The head of the Chang family's eyes lit up, and he said, "What? Good for men? Can you still buy it......"

The head of the Chang family has a beautiful wife and concubine, adding up to twenty or thirty, and the sex is excessive, and as he grows older, he gradually feels powerless. I drank tonic medicine and ate medicinal food, but it didn't work very well.

"Daddy! Is now the time to focus on this? If you don't think about it, Xinglin Pavilion will fall! "Over the years, if it weren't for the support of the evergreen pine, such a family owner in Xinglin Pavilion would not know how to lose.

"Ahem! What Liuwei Dihuang Pill, I haven't heard of it! Could it be that someone pretended to be a Baili pharmacist and made a fake medicine? The head of the Chang family said with a frown.

Shopkeeper Wu sighed and said, "If it's a fake medicine, it's fine!" Liuwei Dihuang Pill has a remarkable effect, more and more people repurchase it, and the price has risen again and again, and it is difficult to buy it! There is also that powder, which has a sweet taste and is even better than the effect of the decoction, which has taken away a large number of middle- and upper-class customers. There's no way to deal with it, I'm just afraid that Xinglin Pavilion won't last for half a year......"

"What?" Only then did the head of the Chang family pay attention to it. When it came to providing free medical treatment for the poor and selling medicine at low prices, he didn't pay attention to it. Dealing with those poor people is tedious and has little oil and water. It's not a pity that these customers are lost. The middle and high-level customers, but their food and clothing, if their parents are pulled away, Xinglin Pavilion will be ruined.

"What should I do?" The head of the Chang family was so anxious that he lost his head for a while!

Shopkeeper Wu thought for a while and said, "This time, Baicaotang seems to be deliberately targeting us, the head of the family, we haven't offended them recently!" ”

"Nope!" The head of the Chang family just got a concubine, and she is hot, how can she have time to provoke the surname Zhao? Who knows what kind of nerves this surnamed Zhao has!

"The Pharmaceutical Merchants Association stipulates that it is not allowed to maliciously suppress peers for no reason! Head of the family, you go to Zhao's house and ask the reason. If it really doesn't work, let's sue the Pharmaceutical Merchants Association! Baicaotang sells pills and grabs the market with Tongrentang, how can President Fang shield and tolerate him? "The shopkeeper Wu has been in the industry for nearly forty years, and he is a veteran of Xinglintang, and he knows the rules of the pharmaceutical business world well.

Chang Qingsong continued: "There is also Jimintang, which has launched the same pills and granules as Baicaotang, and at the same time lowers the price and grabs business with us. The Peizhou branch managed by the child, the customers were pulled away by Jimin Tang a lot! ”

"What? That small pharmacy with no foundation in Jimin Hall even dared to spread wildness on our heads! When Lao Tzu was in charge of Xinglin Hall, the Bai family kid didn't know how to pee and play with mud there! If you want to destroy our Xinglintang and replace it, no way! A hundred-year-old family like Baicaotang, our Chang family is not afraid of him, can he still be overshadowed by the descendants of Jimintang, who don't know the height of the sky? Since they are unkind, don't blame us for our unrighteousness! ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the Xinglin Pavilion, some people were inserted. Although in the past 20 years, don't clean up some of them, there are still some hidden ones that are relatively deep. What is the most taboo for pharmacists? Counterfeit drugs! Poison! If someone eats the pills of Jimin Tang or dies of shock, will anyone dare to buy new medicine from his house? Without these incomes, what capital does he have to fight with the Chang family?

The head of the Chang family's obese face showed a sinister smile.

It's a pity that he will be disappointed after all! Two months later, it was not the news that Jimintang's medicine had eaten dead people, but the trial of the Pharmaceutical Merchants Association - Xinglin Pavilion sent someone to poison Jimintang, was caught red-handed, and confessed! Xinglin Pavilion compensated Jimin Hall for the loss of 30,000 taels of silver, and publicly apologized to the head of the Bai family!

Xinglin Pavilion played yin tricks, but in the end he was given yin by himself, which is really harmful to others! The news spread quickly, and the prestige of Xinglin Pavilion fell sharply. Coupled with the malicious competition between Baicaotang and Jimintang, Xinglin Pavilion suffered heavy losses and had to give up some branches and concentrate on fighting against the dumping of Baicaotang and Jimintang. Xinglin Pavilion has shrunk from twelve to five, and it is still breathing!

The head of the Chang family boarded the door of the Zhao family and asked him why he targeted Xinglin Pavilion. The head of the Zhao family stroked his long beard, sighed softly and said, "Master Chang, have you forgotten the lesson of the 'Zhengde Hall' thirty years ago?" Why repeat the mistakes of the past? ”
