Chapter 12 Tour of Fucheng
Hui Niang thought for a long time and said, "Xiao Lang is right. If you can really make a lot of money when you look back, you are not yelling at all. Why should you just share the money you earned from the pharmacy you passed down from your ancestors to us? Xiao Lang, do you think there is any way to prevent it?"
"If Aunt Sun could develop the pharmacy shops and chambers of the eight counties in the prefecture, all pharmacies in the eight counties of the prefecture were connected into a body and advance and retreat together, whoever violated the rules would be punished at that time, even if his uncle's pharmacy shop made money, he would not dare to forget his righteousness due to the pressure of the chamber of commerce."
Hui Niang shook her head helplessly: "Isn't this a little too difficult?"
"Even if it is difficult, we have to do it. Nowadays, the pharmacy shops in Tingzhou Prefecture City and surrounding prefectures are not easy to do. However, because the pharmacy shops in Ninghua County have a chamber of commerce, the purchase price of medicinal materials is relatively low. However, because the purchase volume is large every time, and the funds are recovered quickly, those medicinal materials merchants like to trade with us."
"Aunt Sun can go to Fucheng to connect those who do pharmacy business and promote their experience here. Although Ninghua Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce is small, it should still have connections in Fucheng."
Hui Niang nodded relievedly.
As Chen Xi said, the reason why the pharmacies in Ninghua County did not collapse like other places is mainly because of the existence of the Chamber of Commerce.
The reason why there is difficulty in operating a pharmaceutical shop in other places is that medicinal materials merchants must leave room for price to bear risks. Medicinal materials merchants purchase a large amount of goods at the place of origin and occupy a lot of funds. In order to avoid losses, they set the price inflated. If they encounter pharmacies doing business with them, because each shipment volume is small and the profit is limited, they will not reduce the price.
But the Chamber of Commerce is different. Every time, several or even dozens of pharmacies start purchasing goods. This big deal often sweeps all the goods accumulated by the medicinal materials vendors. This way, the concerns of the medicinal materials vendors will be eliminated. As long as they can reach a deal with the Chamber of Commerce, even if the profit is less, the funds will flow back quickly, which is convenient and trouble-free, and the money you earn will be more.
The formation of the chamber of commerce is a win-win situation for pharmacies and medicinal materials merchants. If medicinal materials merchants dispel the concern that the medicinal materials cannot be sold and rotten in their hands, they will naturally give more discounts.
Hui Niang was still a little worried after thinking about it: "I just arrived in the capital city like this, I'm afraid I don't know how to talk to those people at that time."
Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's not Aunt Sun who goes there alone. You can bring the shopkeeper of Ninghua County to the chamber of commerce with you. The larger the scale of the chamber of commerce, the larger the purchase volume of medicinal materials, and the more beneficial it is for running a pharmacy."
"If the Chamber of Commerce can be developed into Tingzhou Prefecture and then win over the eight counties in the prefecture, how big should the Chamber of Commerce be? By that time, merchants selling medicinal materials will rush to sell their medicinal materials to the Chamber of Commerce at a low price. All pharmacies will benefit from it and give money for free. Why don't they do it?"
Chen Xi paused and continued to add, "As for contacting the shopkeeper of the pharmacy shop in Fucheng, he can be handed over to his uncle. The Yang family has operated the pharmacy shop in Fucheng for many years, and most of his colleagues must know each other, so it would be appropriate for him to contact him."
After careful consideration, Hui Niang's face no longer had a look of hesitation, and she changed into the confidence of a strong woman: "Tomorrow we will have a good talk with the Yang couple and make this happen as soon as possible."
Originally, even if Hui Niang invested in Yang's Pharmaceutical Store, she would at most extend her tentacles to the Fucheng. It would be difficult to make a difference if Hui Niang went to Fucheng as the head of the Ninghua Pharmaceutical Store Chamber of Commerce, the situation would be very different.
If it were someone else, she might not have such appeal, but Hui Niang was praised by the court for her contribution to curing the plague. After the incident was announced, the people of Tingzhou Prefecture knew about it. Even the people in the prefecture were grateful to her for inventing the cultivation of cowpox so that the people could escape the disaster, and many of them established a birth throne for her. In addition, Hui Niang had the experience of successfully operating the Ninghua Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce, it was perfect for her to go there.
Chen Xi told Hui Niang that he was preparing to open the printing workshop to the city. He felt that now was the critical moment for Hui Niang to let go of her hands and feet to expand the business of the pharmacy shop and she could not be distracted.
As for the printing workshop, it can be temporarily slowed down.
When Hui Niang gained a foothold in the Fucheng pharmaceutical store industry, then it would be a good opportunity to fully expand the business of the two companies to Tingzhou Fucheng.
The next day, Hui Niang discussed with Yang Ling and her husband about the establishment of a pharmacy chamber in Tingzhou Fucheng.
Yang Linghe disagreed when he first heard this because it would reveal the secret that he sold Yang's pharmacy shares to others. However, Hui Niang has not taken out the money, so he still has to flatter Hui Niang, so he has to agree to help contact him after going back, but he does not guarantee whether it will be successful.
Hui Niang kept calling the owners and shopkeepers of Ninghua County Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce to discuss this matter. Originally, each pharmacy shop wanted to reduce the purchase price of medicinal materials so that it would still make a profit in this bad year. In addition, Hui Niang's expansion plan was to expand the chamber of commerce from a small place like Ninghua to the city, which was purely a small profit. They naturally agreed, but they did not think there was hope of success in their hearts.
But no matter what, Hui Niang received the support of all the pharmacy owners and shopkeepers of Ninghua Chamber of Commerce. They will select representatives and go to Tingzhou Fucheng with Hui Niang.
Hui Niang is about to start her journey, and as a widow, she still has many taboos, such as going to the government to handle road guides and preparing staff. She completely handed over the printing workshop and pharmacy business at home to Zhou. When she visited Tingzhou City, she only brought Xiu'er's people at home to facilitate a care on the road.
Before leaving, Zhou was afraid that something might happen to Huiniang on the road, so he gave me some explanation.
Hui Niang never went out far alone. She used to follow her husband when she traveled around the country. When she arrived in Ninghua, the couple chose to settle here, but they never left the county.
She was still worried about her traveling this time. In addition to Xiu'er, she also chose several strong, sincere and down-to-earth guys from the printing workshop as bodyguards.
On September 17th, Hui Niang finally set off.
Lu Xier stood at the door of the medicine shop, watching her mother leave, and began to cry loudly. Finally, the little girl plunged into Chen Xi's arms, refusing to let go, and she refused to even want Chen Xi to go to school.
"Be good to Xi'er, your mother will only be out for a few days and will be back soon. At that time, she will bring you a lot of delicious and fun things." Chen Xi persuaded her earnestly.
"I want my mother"
"Be good Xi'er, don't you always say you should grow up quickly and not worry your mother? Now is your good opportunity to act, let your mother see. If you grow up and become sensible, you will no longer be that little slug. I will get up and sleep with you tonight and tell you a nice story."
"I want my mother!"
Chen Xi was speechless, and Lin Dai looked at him with a little dissatisfaction.
At first, Lu Xier cried and shouted because Hui Niang went out to do business, and she pestered Chen Xi and Lin Daishang. But later Lin Dai found that the little sister stayed in the arms of her future husband for a long time. She was like acting cute and acted like acting cute, and she clearly did not take her, a "big lady" seriously.
"alright!"
Lin Dai couldn't bear it anymore and said with a tight face, "You still have your mother back, my parents are gone, where can I go? Wuwu?"
Lin Dai ran to the backyard crying, which made Chen Xi even more troubled. He didn't feel comfortable, and another one started to make trouble again!
Zhou looked around for a while, shook his head and cursed, "Stupid boy, hurry up and go to the school. If you are late, you will be late."
"Mom, I'll go to the cottage and go to school in a while."
Chen Xi said something, pulled Lu Xier's hand away and walked to the backyard. Who knew that Lu Xier was holding the corner of his clothes tightly, and even Chen Xi wanted to enter the cottage, she was unwilling to let go and completely robbed.
The little girl has no father since she was a child, and her mother loved her. Later, she had two playmates, Chen Xi and Lin Dai, so she was no longer lonely. She should have been more intimate with Lin Dai, who was also a girl, but Lin Dai occasionally got a little tantrum. In addition, Lin Dai was three or four years older, which made the little girl only have Brother Chen Xi in her heart.
Chen Xi pinched Lu Xier's little face with his hands and said, "Xi'er, if you are not good, Brother Chen Xi will not like you."
After hearing this, Lu Xier's tightly clenched hand finally let go, her big eyes blinked twice, and she was about to cry again.
Chen Xi hurriedly said, "Look at your sister Dai'er, she has lost her parents since she was a child and is lonely. Now we are the two of her relatives, so we must take good care of her. Are you right?"
Lu Xier widened her eyes and thought about it carefully, and finally clicked her little head.
"Since that's the case, let's go in and persuade her. If she is sad and sick, who will play with us in the future?"
Now the little loli finally stopped mentioning her mother and looked at Chen Xi obediently. Chen Xi thought to herself that she still had to use a "special" method to educate the children. In fact, the children also have a sense of responsibility, but it is difficult to inspire them. When she gives her a noble mission to help others, she will temporarily forget the current suffering.
Chen Xi took Lu Xier into the room. On the bed in the room, Lin Dai buried her head in the bed and cried so hard that her voice was almost hoarse. It can be seen that Lin Dai was really sad and not making Xiaoyan and Lu Xier angry.
"Little wife, stop crying. You don't have parents, and we are there." Chen Xi walked up to comfort her, but Lin Daiyi didn't react at all and kept crying.
Chen Xi was thinking about how to persuade him, but Zhou didn't see him coming out for a long time and walked into the backyard with a broom in a mighty manner.
"I won't say it."
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Chen Xi took advantage of the fact that my mother didn't find him and quickly left, "I'll come back to tell you stories to you in the evening, don't run around."
Chen Xi didn't have time to persuade Lin Dai, so she went back to the room and carried her schoolbag and went to the yard. Zhou came up with a broom and was about to beat him, but when she saw Chen Xi reaching out to block it instead of avoiding it, her hand was stuck and she couldn't bear to drop the broom.
"Go to school quickly. Dai'er misses her parents. It will be fine if she makes her cry for a while. But if your studies are delayed, it's really sorry for her. You want her to be the wife of the imperial decree, do you know?"
Chen Xi made a face: "Mom, I think you want to be the wife of the imperial decree."
Zhou was angry and waved the broom. Fortunately, Chen Xi's reaction was timely this time and had already left.
