Jingzhao Medicinal Material Market is located in the west of the city and has existed for more than a hundred years. However, it has always been a small regional market and only supplies medicinal materials from the Jingzhao Prefecture area.
But after Zhao Kai took charge of the Finance and Taxation Transfer Department, he copied his best marketing experience in the medicinal materials market. First, he expanded the venue and persuaded Chen Qing to turn the Xidaying next door into a medicinal materials market. Jingzhao medicinal materials
The market suddenly expanded more than ten times, and he placed all official and military medicinal materials purchases on this market. The huge purchase volume immediately attracted medicinal material dealers from all over the world.
In just three years, the Jingzhao Medicinal Materials Market, which covers an area of more than 300 acres, has gathered large medicinal material merchants from all over the world and opened more than 400 stores, making it the largest medicinal material market in the world.
Pi Xiangyang and his men pretended to be medicinal material merchants this time. They hired more than a dozen oxcarts to transport various medicinal materials to the tax office to pay taxes, and then transported them to the medicinal material market. They offered low prices and successfully sold the medicinal materials.
Sold.
Pi Xiangyang doesn't care about how much money he makes. What he wants is the identity of a medicinal materials dealer, and then he wants to buy the required medicinal materials from buyers.
The buyer's surname was Wu, who was also a well-known medicinal material dealer. He thought for a moment and found out that he had made at least two thousand guan from Pi Xiangyang's shipment of goods. For the sake of these two thousand guan, he also told Pi Xiangyang sincerely.
.
"Isatis root and cork are not a big problem. I can transfer the goods for you. You can get as much as you want. But Panax notoginseng is a bit troublesome."
Pi Xiangyang was shocked. Sanqi was the top priority of their trip and he was determined to win. He quickly asked: "What trouble will there be?"
"Panax Panax notoginseng is a military medicinal material and has always been strictly controlled. It's no problem for you to buy one or two dans, but now you want a thousand dans. Not to mention that I don't have so much goods in my hands. Even if I have goods, I don't dare to sell them. This is
Something about losing your head."
Pi Xiangyang sighed and said: "Money is not a problem, please ask Dongzhu Wu to think of a solution!"
Wu Dongzhu's eyes rolled quickly, and he realized that this was a good opportunity to make a lot of money. The government stipulated that private drug stores should not purchase more than ten tons of Panax notoginseng at one time, but he could use his contacts to collect it, and he could get it together in a few days.
He also knew why the other party wanted this kind of military-banned drug, but it was a profit of tens of thousands of dollars. He had long forgotten about his national integrity.
"Actually, the key is money. If Boss Pi can buy it at three times the price, I can think of a way for you."
The price of sun-dried Panax notoginseng is very expensive. The current market price is 300 Wen per catty, 30 Guan per dan, 30,000 Guan for 1,000 dan. If the price is tripled, it will be 90,000 Guan. Ten thousand guan
Six thousand taels of silver, even if Pi Xiangyang bought it officially, it would still be a bit much.
He thought for a moment and said, "Can it be a little cheaper? How about twice the price?"
Wu Dongzhu saw that the other party was eager to buy, and he also understood that the other party could afford it. Since he wanted to buy and could afford it, why should he give in?
Wu Dongzhu shook his head, "I'm risking the whole family to buy it to help you. In fact, I bought it from others at a high price. I can't make a penny at twice the price. Everyone wants to make money, right?
The proprietor can also sell it for five times the price! It is a miracle medicine that can stop bleeding and save lives. Who cares about such a small amount of money?"
"All right!"
Pi Xiangyang made up his mind and said to Dongzhu Wu: "I don't have much money. You have to sell isatis root and cork to me at a cheap price. In addition, you must keep it absolutely confidential!"
Dongzhu Wu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I won't make any money selling Isatis root and Huangbai to you. As for keeping it secret, don't worry. We are two grasshoppers on the same rope now. If you are found out, I won't survive, so don't worry.
I will take utmost care to keep it confidential."
Pi Xiangyang and Wu Dongzhu agreed on the price. The medicinal materials he brought were just enough to offset the cost of isatis root and cork. There was no need to pay additional money. However, he still had to pay 16,000 taels of silver for Sanqi. As usual, Pi Xiangyang paid first
Five thousand taels of silver were paid as a deposit, and the remaining silver was paid with one hand and delivered with the other. The two parties agreed to deliver the goods at the Weihe pier at noon three days later.
Pi Xiangyang paid in cash, five thousand taels of silver weighing more than three hundred kilograms. Pi Xiangyang's men brought three large boxes, each weighing more than one hundred kilograms. Pi Xiangyang then took the receipt and left.
Looking at the three big boxes in the store, shopkeeper Wu was a little worried. How could he move such a big box? The two clerks also happened to go out.
At this moment, a tall and strong young man walked into the store with a cynical expression on his face. He knocked on the counter and said: "Uncle, give me two dollars to play with!"
The young man's name is Zhou Mi, and he is Wu Dongzhu's nephew. He is tall and strong, but he is idle and does not do his job properly. He comes over every now and then to ask for money. Wu Dongzhu gets a big headache when he sees him.
But now it's just the right time. Wu Dongzhu hurriedly waved and said: "You're here just in time. I want to transport these three boxes to the cabinet shop. Please help me and I will give you a few hundred coins later."
"Okay!"
Zhou Mi said happily: "I'll call a taxi!"
He ran out, and after a while, he called an ox cart and loaded the box onto the ox cart with great effort. Although he was idle, he was very strong. He moved three large boxes onto the ox cart by himself.
At this time, a clerk came back, and Zhou Mi asked the clerk to look at the store. He took his nephew to the cabinet shop, and he would need his nephew to move the boxes down later.
"Uncle, these are all silver!"
Through the gap, Zhou Mi saw the white silver, and his eyes widened. How much silver was there? Three big boxes, at least five or six thousand taels!
Dongzhu Wu snorted and lectured his nephew: "You are so strong, but you don't do your job all day long. I let you work with your uncle for a few years and master the skills. You can also open a shop to sell medicinal materials. It is not easy to sell thousands of guan a year."
You earn a lot of money, but you are idle, and you still have my eldest sister to support you when you are twenty-five or six years old, are you embarrassed?"
Zhou Mi was completely seduced by the white money. He said with shamelessness: "Uncle, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. I will do it with you today! As long as I make money, I promise to be obedient. I also want to make money to support my mother.
What a great day!”
Zhou Mi is a good talker, but Dongzhu Wu is tempted. It just so happens that this business is not open to outsiders, so his nephew is strong and will carry the goods for him. After the completion of the project, he will be given a sum of money to let him taste the benefits, and he will
I changed my mind and started doing things on my own.
"That's okay. I have a big deal in the past two days. You can help me as a helper. This will be a test for you. After the deal is completed, I will give you twenty taels of silver."
Zhou Mi was so happy that she almost jumped up, twenty taels of silver! You can exchange it for one hundred and twenty taels of silver on the black market. In all your life, you have never received so much money.
With twenty taels of silver in hand, Zhou Mi worked extra hard and moved three large boxes of silver into the cabinet shop by himself.
In the afternoon, Dongzhu Wu took his nephew Zhou Mi to do business. They found the first drug dealer with a good relationship and bought 300 tons of Panax notoginseng at a price that was 50% higher than the market price. He asked Zhou Zhou to arrange a carriage and send it to his warehouse at the Weihe Wharf.
.
"Boy, listen, when you are leaving the city, if a soldier asks you what kind of medicine this is, tell him it is Gastrodia elata, and then show him this list of goods."
"Uncle, is it because the tax on Panax notoginseng is relatively high, so I have to pay the tax on cheaper medicine?"
Dongzhu Wu chuckled, "You are really smart, that's why, remember, this is Gastrodia elata, you are not allowed to open the box, otherwise you will be fined a lot for paying taxes."
"Don't worry! I'm very stable in my work."
"Don't be too careful. If you were more careful, you would have been a father long ago!"
Wu Dongzhu cursed and handed him the key, "The warehouse you have been to is the same warehouse you fell into last time."
"What I remember is that the roof was repaired like shit."
"Get out of here!"
Zhou Mi took the keys and escorted several oxcarts away. Wu Dongzhu wanted to find another drugstore. If he arrived late, he would not be able to find anyone. He hurried to another drugstore.
Dongzhu Wu was not very worried. Normally, he would not pay taxes when leaving the city, and the soldiers would not ask. When entering the city, the tax officials would ask about paying taxes. He was just afraid of what might happen. This kid didn't understand anything, so he stupidly took the initiative to say "Sanqi,"
