Chapter 810: A Family Who Loves and Kills Each Other
Among all living beings, there are a few who are not unprofitable and cannot afford to be early.
At first, I heard that the witch doctors were so crazy, just to prove to the world that the witch doctors were extraordinary, and Song Che also felt that they all had the second disease in Longyuan Mountain.
But in the past few days, chatting with Professor Shang and them, Song Che also knew that the witch doctors had attacked strongly, not only for fame, but also for great benefits!
And this benefit lies in Chinese herbal medicine!
As we all know, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine is also a unique industry that is unique in China.
More than ninety percent of the Chinese medicinal materials in the world's medicinal materials market are from the land of China.
Up to now, traditional Chinese medicine has spread to 183 countries and regions around the world.
The annual export volume of Chinese herbal medicines and Chinese medicines is as high as 160,000 tons, worth 1.3 billion US dollars!
If you add up the extracts of traditional Chinese medicine and ***, the export volume has exceeded the four billion US dollar mark!
This may not be worth mentioning compared to the GDP generated by other manufacturing industries, but be aware that the profit of these four billion dollars is quite a staggering number!
The cost of many Chinese herbal medicines is actually very cheap, but as long as you use the gimmick of Chinese medicine to package it, it is a profitable business!
Therefore, at the beginning of the 21st century, there was a boom in the export of Chinese herbal medicines overseas, but it was quickly poured cold water.
The large-scale influx of employees and capital, without the constraints of rules, will inevitably lead to market chaos and even collapse.
For several years in a row, several major exporters of Chinese herbal medicines have broken out scandals of substandard quality and large-scale returns.
Later, the state department intervened to rectify it, and the market gradually stabilized.
One of the rectification plans is to use the "quota system" to supervise and restrict the export of Chinese herbal medicines to ensure quality and standardization.
It is equivalent to saying that the state will give the Chinese herbal medicine market an export quota every year, and how to distribute it is naturally the survival of the fittest.
Therefore, defining the advantages and disadvantages has become an important factor in determining how many quotas can be obtained by medicinal herb dealers.
And the "right to define" is naturally the local Chinese medicine associations.
Like Bai Yesheng, the vice chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association before, he is obviously not strong, but he is so respected, it is nothing more than the authority in his hands about the wealth of many Chinese herbal medicines!
However, it should be noted that the above quota system is only for the Chinese medicine market in the Mainland.
In Macao and Hong Kong, which have a special administrative status, this system does not exist.
In addition, Macao and Hong Kong are also major markets for Chinese herbal medicines in the Mainland.
Macao and Hong Kong are the financial centers that communicate domestic and foreign countries, and they are also the "distribution centers" for many materials.
This includes Chinese herbal medicines.
In other words, Macao and Hong Kong are exempt from the domestic quota system and can purchase unlimited quantities of Chinese herbal medicines, reprocess them for production or dump them directly overseas.
However, in order to ensure the quality of Chinese herbal medicines, Macao and Hong Kong** have also formulated strict procurement standards, which can also be understood as an exclusive quota system for Macao and Hong Kong.
And here, the power to define the advantages and disadvantages is an organization called the "Chinese Medicine Association"!
"The Chinese Medicine Association of Macao and Hong Kong can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty, when Macao and Hong Kong were ruled by the British, and the British also discovered the peculiarities of Chinese medicine...... Although the British were colonizers, they have to admit that the leaders of the industrial revolution were indeed very good at accepting new things, and soon, traditional Chinese medicine spread to the British mainland, taking root and flourishing......"
When the car was driving on the bustling streets of Macao and Hong Kong, in the passenger seat, Professor Shang gave Song Che and Shang Ke a popular science about the history of the development of traditional Chinese medicine in Macao and Hong Kong: "At that time, many European countries were not allowed to import Chinese patent medicines, but the UK was very tolerant and could import any medicine. At its peak, there were more than 2,000 TCM shops in the UK, and the TCM industry became the main source of income for the Chinese in the UK after catering, and the UK became the second largest market for TCM outside Asia. ”
"It is precisely because of the recognition and support of the British that the development momentum of traditional Chinese medicine in Macao and Hong Kong is very strong, and it may be said that the current domestic traditional Chinese medicine system may not be as authentic as that of Macao and Hong Kong."
This is a big truth, especially after a chaotic period of de-dross, many domestic traditional cultures have been hit hard, but Macao and Hong Kong have done a good job in inheriting the traditional Chinese civilization.
This is true of metaphysics, and the same is true of Chinese medicine.
Shang Ke said impatiently: "Dad, let's focus on this Chinese medicine association, it's time to hurry." ”
"It's not bad to say a few words." Professor Shang smiled bitterly and continued: "In this context, the Chinese medicine industry in Macao and Hong Kong has flourished, and naturally it has also derived the organization of the management industry, which has become the current Chinese Medicine Association after change and development. ”
"The person in charge of this Chinese medicine association, commonly known as the speaker, generally takes turns every three years, and so far there are two companies with the most rotations, one is called Guiling Hall and the other is called Tianshentang...... That's right, both of these are branches of the Holy Gate of Medicine. ”
"The Turtle Ling Hall is actually a derivation of the Tortoiseshell Sect, and the origin of the Tianshen Hall is the Ginseng Sect, just like the Golden Chrysanthemum Sect you inherited, it was originally given to the disciples by the medical saint Qi Bo according to the name of the medicinal herbs, and we are also a family."
Hearing this, Song Che showed a strange smile on his face and said, "This family, I'm afraid it's similar to the slogan that the Chinese in the world are one family." ”
Some things are obvious.
His monks and professors have been in Macao and Hong Kong for a few days, and these two "family members as hosts" have ignored and kept silent, obviously not interested in having anything to do with Song Che and others.
"Times are changing, and so are people's hearts." Professor Shang suddenly played chicken soup stalks: "I said before that the organizational structure of the Holy Gate of Medicine has always been very loose, and it has been passed down to the present day. What's more, these two have developed so well in Macao and Hong Kong, they have already formed a system of their own, if it weren't for the involvement of this witch doctor incident, I wouldn't be willing to use a hot face to stick a cold ass. ”
Professor Shang analyzed the situation very frankly, and also revealed another meaning.
Guiling Hall and Tianshentang sit on the treasure land of Feng Shui in Macao and Hong Kong, and regard the traditional Chinese medicine market in Macao and Hong Kong as their own reserved land, so they naturally do not want anyone to step in and get a piece of the pie.
Now, the witch doctors in Miao Jiang suddenly broke in and wanted to take a large piece of fat from their rice bowls, how could they tolerate it?!
However, he probably learned the extraordinary strength of the witch doctors, and felt that his two families alone were not enough to resist the invasion of the witch doctors, so he simply invited the Jin Ju faction to come over to help under the guise of "helping each other".
"In the past two years, you have made a lot of fame, and you have fought with witch doctors, and those two families also hope to bring you in and frustrate their sharpness in Longyuan Mountain." Professor Shang said very bluntly: "Of course, in my opinion, what they mean is nothing more than trying to pull you as a backing as cannon fodder." ”
Shang Ke said disdainfully: "Cut! Isn't this just the benefit of them fishing, the black pot let's carry it, they have opened so many pharmacies in Macao and Hong Kong, can they not be a pharmacy Bilian. ”
Song Che thought for a while, and said leisurely: "You say, if you take this opportunity to win this Chinese medicine association, how about we be the masters ourselves?" ”
