Chapter 289: Vitality
After the Sanqi of the Wenzhen Pharmaceutical Market Guild was expropriated by the imperial court, there was a popular joke in the pharmaceutical business circles of Xining Road: "Two years of glory, two years of hesitation, 10,000 taels of silver, the mountain is not in vain!" β
Everyone knows what this joke is satirizing. Hearing this, Li Cishan gritted his teeth. The glory of the Li family two years ago failed to continue, but fell into this field. Now, there's still a lot to clean up.
In view of the increasingly fierce war between Sima Hao and the general of Manshan, the Anxi Protectorate has recently been strictly investigating the people who enter and exit the border, and there is no one on the Xiyan side at all, besides, even if the Xiyan side sends people again, there is no Sanqi to sell here.
"Everyone, please rest assured, I will compensate you for this loss...... "In the Medicine Market Guild, Li Cishan explained to the five major pharmacists with a smile on his face.
The 500,000 taels of silver paid for the purchase of 5,000 catties and 37 earlier were paid by the five big pharmacists. Coupled with the Sanqi that they had recovered at a high price before, it cost a lot. These big pharmacists can be said to have lost all their money!
"Chairman Li, I still embezzled all the money I used to buy Sanqi from other businesses, but I didn't expect it to be all gone! How are the guilds going to compensate?! A big pharmacist said with an angry face. It is not false that they and the Li family are in-laws, but so much money makes him red-eyed, and he scolded with hatred.
"That's it! We believe in the Li family, and this loss is really sold for blood! Knowing this, I followed the Yang family at the beginning and threw out this batch of Sanqi early! Another big pharmacist regretted it, thinking that the two big pharmacists who followed the Yang family are now making a lot of money, how can they be as miserable as themselves!
"President, such a large sum of money, you should compensate us a little first. I saw that the five-year president election had begun. From this point of view, we have to consider another candidate for the chairman......" and the big pharmacist said suspiciously. It's no wonder that he said this, for the medicinal material of Panax notoginseng, he has spent nearly 200,000 yuan, which is already the eleventh amount of his family's wealth. How could he not be resentful?!
Li Cishan listened to the accusations of the big pharmacists, with a smile on his face, but he was resentful in his heart, and secretly scolded these people who turned their faces and didn't recognize people. Now that such a situation has been created, the Li family has also suffered heavy losses! Everyone is still in-law, and they can say such threatening words?
But he forgot that the merchants gathered profits, and the profits were used to fellowship, and when the profits were exhausted, the people were scattered. The Principle of Eternity.
"You are losing your morals to say that. all these years. How much benefit has our Li family brought to you openly and secretly. Do you all remember that? What is this little money? Could it be that I have a huge Li family in Queensland, and I can't make up for your losses? β
Just when Li Cishan was hesitating, a deep voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Li Cishan raised his head in surprise. Seeing his cousin Li Huishan walk in calmly and say these words.
"Not to mention what happened to the second mountain, here, this official is the Queensland assassin history as a guarantee, which will definitely make everyone have endless benefits in the future, you can be convinced?" Li Huishan walked to Li Cishan's side and sat down, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the official authority in his eyes made the five major pharmacists tilt their heads slightly.
See here. Li Huishan raised a smile and said loudly: "When this official says this, he must not be talking in vain, so that you have suffered these losses. Here are 200,000 taels of silver tickets, you can take them first. The Pharmaceutical Market Guild has the reputation of 'the first meeting in the world'. It is not difficult for a daughter to come back. β
As soon as his words fell, the entourage around him took out a stack of thick silver tickets and placed them in front of the five major pharmacists.
The five major pharmacists looked at each other, and finally, someone finally reached out and took these silver tickets, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Thorn Shi is extremely right, we are also in a hurry!" That's what I say...... President Li must not take it to heart, we will definitely follow closely behind the Li family. β
"Yes, yes, we will rely on Chairman Lee to take care of us in the future...... said a major pharmacist. For a while, there was laughter in the Wenzhen Medicine Market Guild, as if those losses and resentments had never happened at all.
After a few pharmacists dispersed, Li Cishan wiped his forehead. The cousin's combination of williness made these big pharmacists leave, otherwise, if they continued to entangle these hundreds of thousands of taels of money, he really didn't know what to do.
"I think you're going to be burned out right now. Brothers, we worked together on these three or seven things, so I went to my father and asked for the 200,000 taels to relieve your anxiety. Originally, I asked my father for 500,000 taels, but my father said that the business that Mianshan takes care of has been very busy recently, and it needs money and silver turnover......"
Li Huishan said casually, and patted Li Cishan's shoulder, so that he didn't have to worry: "Father is a little dissatisfied with you, and this time there are indeed a lot of them." But you don't have to be discouraged, Sanqi's loss will definitely be compensated from other places. The business that Mianshan manages is thriving, and there is no shortage of money......"
I don't know if the speaker has an intention, anyway, Li Cishan, the listener, is very attentive, he listened to Li Huishan's words, and his face changed a few times.
He remembered that he had also proposed to sell Panax notoginseng at a price of one hundred taels, but because of Li Mianshan's greedy suggestion, he had to buy so many Panax notoginseng in the name of the Medicine Market Guild. Now that these notoginseng have all been expropriated by the imperial court, it is not counted that they have lost so much money, and they have also lost their prestige in front of the big pharmacists.
He is good, he has merit in front of the old man, the business he takes care of is still thriving, he has all the face, and he is in a dilemma! What is it for?
"However, if there was no proposal from Mianshan at the beginning, it would be a good thing that the pattern would be bigger, but it would be good to get it back......" Li Huishan looked at Li Cishan's undulating expression, and added lightly.
"Yes, it would be nice if there was no such proposal...... Li Cishan's face regained his calmness, and when he said such a sentence, his teeth were a little closed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Li Huishan's eyes also narrowed, and he was extremely satisfied. He may not be very good at making a profit in business, but he has been immersed in officialdom for so many years, and when it comes to plotting people's hearts and attracting power, he is completely sure. No, after this Sanqi incident, he didn't believe that the relationship between Cishan and Mianshan could still be as close as ever.
I am the eldest branch of the Li family, and no one can climb on my head......
No matter what Li Huishan thinks, Li Cishan, as the president of the Medicine Market Guild, although he sent those few pharmacists with 200,000 taels. But the losses of the Medicine Market Guild and the Li family are clearly there.
For several days, he was thinking about how to make up for these losses, how to reproduce a brilliant handiwork in front of Mr. Li, so that Mr. Li was impressed.
While Li Cishan was thinking hard about how to make up for the loss, in a deep courtyard not far from Jinbi Street, an old man dressed as a down-and-out old servant laughed happily a few times, and shouted: "It's finally my turn to appear, it's really suffocating......"
Shen Ning and Ying Nantu, who heard this, couldn't help laughing, and even Shen Zeyuan, who was on the side, almost couldn't suppress their smiles. Yes, this father-in-law who can't be idle is finally going to make a move.
The branch of Jiangnan Hu's Anhetang in Queensland, just above Jinbi Street, is a large and antique medicinal herb shop. Although Hu's Anhetang accounts for half of the medicinal materials in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not so eye-catching in the entire medicine number and medicine hall in Queensland.
Until this day, a sign was erected in front of Hu Shi'an and Hall, and a few big characters were written on the door: "Purchase Sanqi, one hundred taels per catty!" In addition, there are many Anhetang boys shouting on Jinbi Street: "Buy Sanqi, one hundred taels per catty!" β¦β¦ Acquisition of Sanqi, 100 taels per catty! β¦β¦β
Along with this brand and shouting spread throughout the Queensland pharmaceutical industry, there was also the news that Hu Shi'an and Tang's family Hu Butu had come to Queensland. The reason why Hu Butu came to Queensland was to buy Sanqi here in Queensland at a high price.
Queensland's notoginseng accounts for seventy percent of Dayong's notoginseng, and Hu's Anhetang in Jiangnan came to Queensland to buy notoginseng, which was not a big deal in previous years. But now, most of Queensland's notoginseng has been expropriated by the imperial court, and only a small amount of notoginseng circulates above the Queensland drug market.
Even if Hu Shi Anhetang offered a high price, he could only return with a bamboo basket to fetch water. ββMany people in Queensland Pharmaceutical City thought so.
The so-called notoginseng is to plant three to seven years of this medicinal material in order to have a harvest, and now tens of thousands of catties of notoginseng in Queensland have been expropriated by the imperial court, where are there so many notoginseng?
Hu Butu smiled and appeared in Hu's Anhetang, and he smiled honestly, like a Tian family. In the past few days, in the name of An Hetang's family, he has made appointments with major pharmaceutical companies in Queensland, and offered a high price of 100 taels to buy Sanqi, but these pharmaceutical companies can only shake their heads.
This price is undoubtedly a world different from the one tael per catty levied by the imperial court; This price is also the highest price speculated before the imperial court levies; This money, these big pharmacists also want to make money.
It's a pity, alas, they don't have any stock on hand, and even if they do, they can't sell it! In the huge state of Queensland, it is impossible to sell all the notoginseng, right?
"Is there really no Sanqi in your hands? I'm Hu Shi Anhetang, the price can be raised a little more...... Now the situation in northern Xinjiang is not easy to say, I will definitely receive a batch of notoginseng in Queensland, otherwise wouldn't I have come for nothing? Hu Butu frowned and said worriedly.
The pharmacists still shook their heads, saying that they couldn't help. This money, they really want to earn, but they really can't make it.
Looking at the shaking of the heads of the big pharmacists, Hu Butu still had a bitter face. Immediately, the sign in front of Hu Shi'an and Tang raised the price of purchasing Sanqi to 120 taels per catty.
This price, of course, also entered Li Cishan's ears. He listened to the broken words of the pharmacists, just smiled, and did not express his opinion. He thought of the things developed by the Li family's great pharmacist, as if he felt that there was finally a glimmer of life in front of him......
