028 Business, is it really a loss?
Mu Shishi said this, Xiao Ling'er really hadn't thought about it before.
She is full of thoughts about making money, the Mei family pharmacy is the Mei family's pharmacy, she just needs to earn hers.
But she forgot that Tang County is so big, and they are still in the pharmaceutical business, so how can they have no contact at all.
Moreover, this so-called contact point came much sooner than she imagined.
Mu Shishi's hand holding her chin was lowered, and her slender fingers tapped on the table, "My little Ling'er, you have to think about this matter carefully." The Mei family pharmacy is the largest in Tang County, but just relying on Baicaotang and other large and small pharmacies under the Mei family, how much can it sell. The Mei family's industry is big, in fact, it is big in the countless medicinal and pesticide fields behind them, from planting and collecting medicines to concocting original products for sale, a series of very fixed processes. ”
Mu Shishi knew that Xiao Ling'er didn't want to have anything to do with the Mei family, and she didn't even mention the Mei family on weekdays.
Now, it is the first time that the two of them have talked about the Mei family in such detail.
"These medicines, in addition to the Mei family's own supply, will be sold in large quantities and at low prices to pharmacies outside Tang County and even in the city as their drug supply. Even within Tang County, those pharmacies that do not belong to the Mei family, if the demand is larger, they will also need the supply of the Mei family's medicine fields. So, you should know what this means, right? ”
"Huh? What the? Xiao Ling'er tilted her head, Mu Shishi's big words didn't seem to say anything other than praising the strength of the Mei family.
"You." Mu Shishi's hand knocking on the table moved to Xiao Ling'er's forehead and knocked it gently, "Aren't you very smart on weekdays, but you are stupid at this time." Successful businessmen have a keen sense not only of what creates value, but also of their competitors. ”
"But the Mei family's industry is so big, I'm just a drop in the bucket for them."
"There is a saying that the whole body is moved by a hair. Tang County's trading in medicinal materials has actually been largely settled, and your appearance is tantamount to slowly prying into the circle of this buying and selling cycle. The consequences of such a prying, with the Mei family's keen sense, will definitely be perceived. ”
Don't look at the usual times, Mu Shishi likes to mess around verbally the most, and she likes to listen to gossip when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't seem to have any shape.
But when it comes to such a business, even his voice is much quieter.
She knew that Xiao Ling'er was very smart, and her understanding of pharmacology was careful and bold enough, and she could see many business opportunities that others could not see. But after all, she has no experience in business before, if she just sells medicine, it will be fine, but when the business grows bigger in the future, there will be more things that she needs to consider.
And just right, she is willing to mention something in these places.
"First, I told you that the medicine field of the Mei family's pharmacy will have a waterwheel to divert water for irrigation, but there is no water mill and plough that can save effort in concoction like you. Such a sharp weapon, once the Mei family pharmacy knows about it, do you think they will be able to hold it? ”
"Second, although your current business is really not big, there are several people in Anding Village who grow medicinal materials with you, and now with the waterwheel you built, the supply and demand for medicinal materials have increased a lot. A few days ago, someone came to me to inquire about the price and quantity of your medicine, so that I could secretly weigh it. ”
Merchants are naturally most willing to save money on cost. If a large number of medicinal materials need to be purchased from the Mei family, naturally the price will also be set by the Mei family. But if there is a comparison, there will naturally be their sweetness under the competition.
"Just these two points, the Mei family's eyes will be on you."
Mu Shishi said slowly, Xiao Ling'er's brows also furrowed slightly, she really hadn't thought about this before, but now that she thinks about it, Sister Shishi's words are not wrong at all.
Not to mention this, from her own side alone, her business will get bigger and bigger today, as well as the more expensive medicines she is about to grow, which will make her not limited to Sister Shishi's pharmacy.
As long as other pharmacies in the county are involved, they will definitely break the fixed trading circle in the county today, just like Mu Shishi said.
Sooner or later, she will still have direct contact with the Mei family. It's just possible that in response to Mu Shishi's words, she would be found by the Mei family before that.
"Now, you get it, right?"
"Hmm." Xiao Ling'er nodded, "Although with my strength now, they will turn their gaze, but they won't make any moves." But the kung fu on this waterwheel must have some ideas. ”
It's a pity that she understands this, but Xiao Ling'er is still not ready to make head-on contact with the Mei family.
The eldest young master of the Mei family, Mei Chengan, is much smarter than she imagined, and she ...... this game with the Mei family in the future I don't know if I have a chance of winning.
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much about it for now." Xiao Ling'er retracted her thoughts, "The soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, if the Mei family wants to find the door, then just wait." ”
What's more, the Mei family is so big, this kind of small matter should not be handled by Mei Chengan personally, and he should only send someone to investigate the situation, and then think of countermeasures.
Xiao Ling'er said so, Mu Shishi shrugged her shoulders, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "It's okay, Anding Village is also some distance from Tang County after all, your business is still small now, and the Mei family's idea will not be so obvious for the time being." If you are not prepared, you can just drag it out. Aren't you going to Baicaotang to teach the deposit? It's not too early, so let's go. ”
Mu Shishi stood up and urged, Xiao Ling'er looked at it, nodded and took back her things and planned to go outside the house.
This time, I talked a few more words with Mu Shishi, and I almost missed the time.
It's just that she didn't expect that before she could get out of the door of the pharmacy, the bustle outside had already come first.
She looked at the men and women who came and went at the door, all looked in one direction, pointed left and right, hesitated to gather at the other end, and seemed to see something new again.
Lin Zi, the medicine boy in Sister Shishi's pharmacy, was the most idle, and just after listening to the bustle, he ran outside, stood on tiptoe at the door and took a closer look, and quickly put his hands on his waist. "It's really pitiful, they all say that parents all over the world have hearts, but there are a lot of black-hearted fathers and mothers in this world!"
"Is it a fight or a sale?" Mu Shishi didn't take a step outside, but raised her eyes and asked for a long time.
"It's for sale, but I guess I won't want to, so I hit it in public." Lin Zi listened to the fragmentary sound coming from the other end, and his brain made up for it.
"This drama can be staged several times a year, what is there to see." Mu Shishi walked to Lin Zi's side and kicked him, "Go, dispose of the newly sent medicine." ”
"Okay." Lin Zi touched his head and peeked twice before heading to the backyard.
Mu Shishi's gaze also skimmed to that end, and finally sighed.
This sigh fell into Xiao Ling'er's ears, "Sister Shishi still pities them if nothing happens." Xiao Ling'er could see that Mu Shishi was originally kind in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have helped herself so much.
"Pity is pitiful, but the world is not up to people, and if you save one, you can't save the world. If everyone can save themselves like Ling'er and you, these many fates and wishes may be different. ”
Maybe a few years ago, she would have made a move, but unfortunately, many things later told her that sometimes it is not a good thing to have a heart for the world.
In an instant, Xiao Ling'er seemed to see Sister Shishi when she gave her books. She took a long breath and didn't intend to bother with any of the things.
Mu Shishi is disappointed in the world, and she ...... There is no power, she herself is still sold and has not completely redeemed her body, so what heart does she have to care about other people.
It's just that she just said goodbye to Mu Shishi, took a step out of the threshold, her eyes glanced at her unintentionally, but her body froze, and even her fists were clenched.
In the scattered crowd, the familiar voice, the familiar picture, just changed to a familiar object.
Was...... Her so-called parents, and Xiaoqin!
"An acquaintance?"
Mu Shishi also saw that something was wrong with her face and opened her mouth.
"It's my sister." Xiao Ling'er answered and walked towards the other end.
As I walked a few steps closer, my voice grew louder.
Sun Cuiyang still has that sharp voice, and he is not forgiving at all when he speaks, and he completely ignores the opinions of so many people around him, and is aggressive, "Xiao Nizi is really good at it, and she knows how to run to the county seat, hurry up and go back with me, and she is still in a hurry to explain." ”
"I'm not going back!" Xiaoqin's two lines of tears were so anxious that she was holding back her tears, and her little face itself had not grown, and this time it was even more screwed together, "Daddy, I beg you, don't sell me, I will work, I will do anything, don't sell me, I'm really afraid." ”
"Xiaoqin, Daddy can't help it."
It's still the same routine, Sun Cuiyang scolded on the side, and Xiao Zhuang sang his red face, "Don't blame your father, your father doesn't want to do this, but the money is collected, if you don't go, our family can't get it, and we will be accused of going to the official." ”
Xiao Zhuang said this every time, pretending to be pitiful like this, but he never thought that the most pitiful thing was their two daughters who were forced to a dead end.
Xiao Ling'er's original body protested to the death, and although Xiaoqin was not so strong, she still ran out.
"Daddy, I beg you, let your mother take back your mind, I'll pay back the money, I must have worked hard to pay back the money, please!"
"You still? What do you take back? Sun Cuiyang didn't intend to grind like Xiao Zhuang, and the cruel words came up, "You have to go back today, if you don't go back, I will beat you until you go back!" ”
