Chapter 48: Divine Consciousness
Many medicinal material manufacturers not only saw that the shop was free, but also helped with promotion, and they all happily entered Li Fan's Coal Mountain Medicinal Materials Wholesale City.
After the first step of the supply was completed, Li Fan's second step plan immediately began to be implemented, which was to collect various small and medium-sized pharmacies nationwide, and help them remake store signs for free and change them into Fanlong chain pharmacies.
Naturally, these small pharmacies will not be attracted by changing their doors for free, and Li Fan will give them the advantage of taking the goods from the Fanlong International website at a price lower than their current purchase price, and they can also deliver them to the store for free.
Li Fan's doing so was carefully investigated.
The vast majority of small pharmacies buy goods in small batches, and Li Fan can purchase goods from major manufacturers at a wholesale price of less than 7% off and then supply these pharmacies at a higher price, not only does not lose money, but also makes a lot of profits.
In order to improve the passenger flow of these small pharmacies, Li Fan also made a big move, helping them set up a row of express delivery cabinets in the pharmacy for free, and all express delivery companies can use these delivery cabinets for free, and Li Long's chain pharmacy has become a frequent place for nearby residents.
Now not only the express company is happy, there is no need to send it to the home so troublesome, the people are also happy, do not always have to worry about no one at home to receive the express, as long as you go home through the nearby Li Long chain pharmacy to get it, when you have time to take it.
Of course, in order to avoid the problem of occupying the locker for a long time, there are also regulations that the payment of fees beyond a certain period and the long-term failure to take it out will be forcibly taken out.
The joining of the Chen family is actually carefully considered by Li Fan, and the place where drugs are sold alone cannot effectively leverage the market, and qualified and experienced doctors must be provided to guide the purchase of drugs in the store in order to attract customers.
It is obviously unrealistic for every small pharmacy to have a doctor, the cost is too great, and it may not be possible to invite so many qualified people, Li Fan's solution is to provide online telemedicine consultation.
Each Li Long chain pharmacy is equipped with certain basic diagnosis and treatment equipment such as cameras, microphones, body temperature and pulse free of charge according to the customer flow.
Under the guidance of the store staff, the patients who come to buy medicine measure the most basic health data and provide it to doctors in the coal city, who will guide them to buy medicine by analyzing the data and communicating with the patient network in real time.
The system will automatically allow patients to evaluate and score them, and patients can choose their own doctors with corresponding specialties and higher ratings for consultation, and the doctors will receive corresponding remuneration according to the patient's evaluation and daily consultation volume and drug sales.
Enjoying the telemedicine of Fanlong International for free, the participating pharmacies certainly have certain obligations and responsibilities.
Fanlong International will regularly send plainclothes inspectors to conduct unannounced visits to find out whether pharmacies comply with Fanlong International's price rules, whether they sell counterfeit drugs, and whether they purchase goods from other channels.
Li Fan is actually not too worried that the franchised pharmacies will purchase from other channels, because the purchase volume is small, the price will naturally not be low, not to mention that the patients will basically follow the advice of Dr. Coal Mountain to buy the medicinal materials provided by Fanlong International.
The medicinal materials in this channel have eliminated most of the intermediate price increases, and there are only three levels of manufacturers, Fanlong International, and pharmacies, and the price is the cheapest on the market at present.
Since he had made full preparations during the construction of the Medicinal Material City, Li Fan's plan went very smoothly.
The shops are rented free of charge, and nearly thousands of shops in the medicinal herb city are all booked within two weeks, and the income from management fees and other advertisements inside and outside the venue is also quite lucrative, and it also drives the consumption of other hotels, restaurants and entertainment in Coal Mountain.
The progress of the integration of small and medium-sized pharmacies is also very fast, with more than 2,000 pharmacies opened in Guangdong Province within three months, and more than 4,000 in other provinces being opened a little slower.
The number is still increasing rapidly, and what surprised Li Fan was that half a year later, more than 30,000 Fanlong chain pharmacies were opened nationwide.
This number also surprised the manufacturers stationed in the medicinal herb city, worried that the shops would be taken away by others when the shops expired in a year, and they all rushed to start a closer relationship with Fanlong International.
Hospitals around the country were robbed of business by Fanlong International's pharmacies, and their income declined, so they began to negotiate cooperation with Fanlong International, and the pharmacies of many hospitals were also changed to Fanlong International chain pharmacies, but there was no need to set up telemedicine consultation.
There are more and more outlets, and the problem of logistics and distribution also needs to be solved.
Li Fan did not use conventional manpower solutions, only set up logistics centers in various cities, and all the distribution of the following outlets used drones, which greatly saved operating costs and improved distribution efficiency.
The problem of distribution of medicinal materials was solved, and Li Fan further upgraded the logistics system and established Fanlong Logistics Company.
A large number of collection and delivery cabinets have been set up in the outlets and pharmacies, and the drone will deliver the customer's express delivery to the store, and the clerk will put the received express into the receiving locker, and put the express that needs to be sent on the drone, and the public has gradually become accustomed to going to Fanlong International's chain pharmacy to send and receive express delivery.
After the pharmacy, Li Fan began to organize small shops in the streets and alleys and build free collection cabinets.
The small store has this receiving and mailing cabinet, the flow of people has increased significantly, and there are many people who buy something easily, Li Fan's condition is only one, the shopkeeper helps the drone put the express mail into the receiving cabinet, and put the mail on the drone.
After another half a year, Fanlong International has more than 50,000 chain pharmacies and more than 3,000 cooperative hospitals across the country.
The development of logistics is even more remarkable, taking over 20 percent of the express delivery business of Huanglongguo, and there are more than 100,000 small shops cooperating with Li Long's collection and delivery cabinets.
In the past year or so, although Li Fan and his subordinates have been busy with their careers most of the time, they have not slackened their kung fu cultivation at all.
Li Fan's telekinesis broke through to the fourth layer, producing a new ability "Divine Consciousness" that he had never had before.
In the past, Li Fan had to rely on the telekinesis camera to observe the surrounding situation and cooperate with the telekinesis to move objects, but now Li Fan's telekinesis itself has the ability to explore, and can feedback the appearance characteristics and materials of the surrounding things in his mind, much like the radar waves of bats, but it is much finer than that, and it can also sense the vibration of air and objects, and identify the sound transmitted by various materials.
It was a wonderful feeling to gain a new powerful probing power, and Li Fan was excited to experiment everywhere.
The internal structure of the mobile phone, the various small beasts, insects and ants hidden in the woods, the hatching of chicks in the eggs, the digestion process of food in their stomachs, the location of various fish and shrimp in the seawater, the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings, the sound of ants chewing food, the earthworms in the ground digging and so on.
Li Fan felt all kinds of different things for a few days in a row, and probably figured out the scope of his current fourth-layer divine sense's exploration ability.
The distance between the air is about 100 meters, the water is about 50 meters, the thickness of materials such as wood and plastic with loose structure can only be about 1 meter, and the dense structure of rock and metal can only be detected about 10 centimeters.
Although Li Fan was already excited about his new divine sense, he didn't know what level his current divine sense was, so he discussed the topic with Hongyu.
"Hongyu, I just said that my current divine sense ability, how does it compare to your master?"
"My master never tells us how big his ability is, it's always mysterious, making people think that he can do anything, but I remember that the farthest thing he has moved is only four or five hundred meters, and his mind movement skill seems to have only been practiced to the fifth level, and it was the ancestor who helped him break through!"
"Hongyu, I told you because I trust you, and in the future, I will find a way to help you collect yin qi to improve your cultivation, and help you find a good body and exercises!"
"Little ...... I don't have any opinions, I like to rely on others, I rely on my master when I'm here, and I rely on my brother when my master dies. Although you killed my senior brother's ghost, he also plotted against you first, you just protect yourself, it's been so long, let it pass! I will rely on you in the future, can I?"
"Absolutely!"
A breakthrough has been made in the Nian Shift Gong, and the combination of the Yin and Yang Sword Technique of the left and right hands has basically taken shape, but what makes Li Fan a little depressed is that the Vajra Fist Method is still at the peak of the middle level.
Now, except for Zhang Cheng and Lu Zhong, who are still low-level peaks, Wu Wei and Dan Tuo have cultivated to the low-level mid-level, and Danya has already practiced to the mid-level peak like Li Fan.
Wang Wu was even more powerful, and he relied on Zhang Cheng's help to break through to the high level.
Nie Qingqing reached the pinnacle of the high level and completely completed the cultivation of the Vajra Fist Method.
Chen Meili is not interested in the Vajra boxing method, and she has practiced her own kung fu, and she has also gained a lot of experience, but it is worth mentioning her psychedelic voice.
Chen Sanye and Chen Liuye spent a lot of money to help her find a technique for cultivating vocal cords "Lion Roar Gong", although it is a practice of Buddhism, but the principle is the same, that is, through the left and right vocal cords of true qi to send out sharp sound wave attacks.
The roar of the Buddhist lion is deafening, and Chen's beautiful voice is breathtaking.
Due to the effect of the vine fruit, Chen Meili already has a certain sound level, and practicing the lion's roar skill is like a fish in water, and she has cultivated to the peak of the low level in more than a year.
And Xu Yingjie still ignored Li Fan, but he didn't go further with Ding Feng, except for the occasional dinner together, he almost didn't want to meet him.
Xu Yingjie initially agreed to date Ding Feng just to anger Li Fan, but he didn't expect Ding Feng to climb up the pole, take the opportunity to get close to Commander Xu, and start a series of business cooperation with the Xu family, forcing Xu Yingjie to close the distance with him.
The shelves on the side of the Yellow Dragon Kingdom were almost set up, and Li Fan began to consider replicating this model on the side of the Greenstone Country, but after communicating with Danya a few times, he found that something was wrong with the situation over there.
Li Fan felt that the situation was urgent, so he handed over the business of Huanglongguo to Zhang Cheng, Lu Zhong and Chen Meili, and immediately chartered a plane to Greenstone Country with Wang Wu and more than 100 outstanding subordinates.
When he arrived in Pachong City, Dan Tuo came to pick up the plane, settled more than 100 martial arts repairs, and then took Li Fan and Wang Wu to Danya's manor.
As soon as Li Fan and Wang Wu arrived, the meeting began immediately, and several generals in charge of intelligence work first introduced the latest situation.
The current sphere of influence of the Longken tribe is the northeastern region of the Greenstone Country, with the Yingkun tribe to the north and the Kandi tribe and the Manggan tribe to the northwest.
In the central part of the Greenstone Kingdom is the capital city of Qiguang, and a large area around it is currently controlled by the most powerful Qiguang clan.
To the south of the Greenstone Country, near the sea, there are three tribes, namely the Weijian Tribe, the Yongsheng Tribe, and the Minwu Tribe.
In the past two years, the relationship between the Longken tribe and the four tribes in the north has been good, but for some reason, there have been some strange changes in recent months.
First of all, the Yingkun tribe in the north suddenly blocked the border, forbidding the tribe from trading with the Longken tribe, and communication was also denied.
Due to the relatively backward Yingkun tribe and the remote control area, the Longken tribe didn't pay much attention to this matter, guessing that it might be caused by the internal strife of the Yingkun tribe, and it may be recovered after a while.
Two months later, the two long-rival tribes of the northwest, the Kandi and Mangan tribes, suddenly reconciled and opened their borders to each other.
The strange thing is that the Longken tribe originally had business on both sides, but now that they have reconciled, they actually confiscated all the assets of the Longken tribe in the local area as if they had discussed it, and also arrested many Longken people who did not have time to escape.
This matter is a bit excessive, Danya sent people to negotiate a settlement several times, and in the end, as long as the arrested person was returned, the assets were not returned a penny.
Danto and some of the Longken generals quit and assembled troops on the northwest border with Tanya's consent to put some pressure on them.
The other party seems to be waiting for this, as soon as the army of the Longken tribe moves, the two tribes in the northwest begin to mobilize their military strength, and the reason given internally is also very inflammatory, saying that the Longken tribe intends to use troops against them.
As soon as the northwest moved, the Yingkun tribe in the north also moved, and most of the army was transferred to the area bordering the Longken tribe.
After several years of construction, the number and combat effectiveness of the army have been greatly improved, and there are currently about 150,000 troops.
The Kandi tribe in the northwest has about 50,000 troops, and the Mangan tribe has a slightly larger number of troops, more than 70,000, but the equipment is relatively backward.
The Yingkun tribe in the north is not the same as them, and has long had a military conflict with the Tianzhu State in the north of the Greenstone Country, although there are not many soldiers, only more than 30,000, but each can fight habitually.
Confronting the three tribes at once, although the Longken tribe is under pressure, it is still roughly equal in strength, and it is not too afraid.
Unexpectedly, the Qiguang tribe in the southern capital also moved, and transferred 100,000 troops to the north, which caused great pressure on the southern border of the Longken tribe.
Greenstone is relatively backward, and the network-based intelligence detection methods are not very effective, and can only use the most primitive method of sending undercover agents to collect intelligence, and the speed of feedback is still slow.
The above is a summary of the intelligence from a week ago, and the new deployment of the other side is not yet clear.
After the intelligence was introduced, Li Fan didn't say anything, and listened to Dantuo's opinion first.
Dan Tuo believes that so many tribes around him are gradually becoming hostile to the Longken tribe, mainly because the development of the Longken tribe is too rapid, and the talents are gathering too quickly, which causes them a certain amount of pressure, and they are afraid of being slowly eroded.
As long as the Longken tribe changes its development strategy, is conservative, and slowly negotiates with them, the regional situation will rebalance, and the chances of war will naturally decrease.
