Zhou Ding had also been a shopkeeper before, so he knew a little about business operations. As soon as his son's proposal came out, he estimated that this method was very likely to succeed. In fact, the five-hundred-wen bottle of pills was as good as
The two pills that the refugees bought for ten copper coins were the same, and Tang Yuxiang asked Zhidong to send them over.
Rich people are like this. They always think that the higher the selling price, the better the thing.
In fact, the reason why he agreed to his son's request was that, apart from the fact that doing so would not affect the refugees' purchase of medicine, he was also quite helpless. He was such an unsatisfied son. If he could find something to do for him, he would leave him in the drug store.
, put it under his nose, and he would feel more at ease. Otherwise, if Zhou Bao stayed in the drug store for a long time, felt too boring and bored, and ran out to hang out with the gang of friends, he might be able to do something one day.
Shocking event.
If Zhou Bao borrows loan sharks to gamble again, and then incurs a huge debt, and asks him to redeem it with 800 taels of silver, then he will have no choice.
After writing a prescription for a patient, seeing Zhou Bao put half of the money in his arms and planning to go out, Zhou Ding's face darkened, "Why are you going?"
"Dad, don't worry. My son wants to buy more exquisite wooden boxes and better-looking porcelain vases when he goes out." This is the first time Zhou Bao has made money since he was a child, and he is very excited.
Zhou Ding frowned when he heard this and asked: "My father is worried about the money being handed over to you. Why don't you let your mother go shopping with you?"
"No, the kid can go alone!" When Zhou Bao heard this, it was as if someone had poured cold water on his head, and his previous excitement suddenly dropped.
Seeing that his son was disobedient, Zhou Ding felt a surge of anger in his heart and raised his hand to use force. He was really worried about this scoundrel carrying money, but his wife quickly ran up and hugged his arm.
"Don't fight, don't fight. Xiaobao has grown up and can make money on his own. Just let him go alone."
"You, you're still protecting him!" Zhou Ding glared at his old wife and shook off his sleeves fiercely.
"Father, mother, the children have gone shopping."
Taking advantage of the gap between his parents' words, Zhou Bao shouted, took the money in his pocket, and ran out of the pharmacy door. He had been beaten by his father a lot in the past two days, and now his buttocks and back were still bruised and purple.
It's a piece.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Zhou Ding stamped his feet heavily, sat down again, and checked the patient's pulse.
After staring at Zhou Bao's back for a long time, Lin Jingzhi smiled slightly. He was not disgusted with Zhou Bao's approach, but admired it very much. Changing the packaging of medicines could not only help refugees but also make money. Why?
What about enjoying it but not doing it?
Thinking this way, he suddenly felt that the shopkeeper inside was very extraordinary.
However, he did not expect that this idea was just a whim of a useless loser. In fact, given Zhou Ding's usual deceiving and abducting temperament, it was quite normal for him to come up with such a method.
He came here because he had business to do, so he patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, raised the curtain and walked in. The guards of the Lin family were worried about their master's life, so after some discussion, two of them followed.
"Master, are you feeling unwell and do you want to see a doctor?" Lin Jingzhi is handsome. He is wearing a white brocade gown. He is elegant and noble. Zhou Ding is not blind and can tell Lin Jingzhi's background at a glance.
Being a wealthy man, he didn't dare to worry. He quickly stood up from the chair. He didn't care about checking the pulse of a patient he had just checked halfway, and stood up to greet him.
The patient also saw that Lin Jingzhi was not an ordinary person, so he lowered his head, not daring to feel any dissatisfaction.
Most of the children of rich families are arrogant and domineering, and sometimes they will get angry just because of the smallest thing, so Zhou Ding is so careful with him.
"No, I'm not here to see a doctor. I have something to discuss with you." After Lin Jingzhi entered the room, he turned around and looked around. He saw that the Jisheng Hall was just like what his wife said, but it was a small area.
A big small drug store.
"Look at this little man's mouth, it deserves a beating! The young master is healthy and strong, how could he feel uncomfortable?" Zhou Ding said, walking to the side and pouring a cup of warm tea. Although Zhou Ding has a loyal nature, he has been a doctor for so many years.
The shopkeeper has been honed to be quite tactful in his dealings with others.
Lin Jingzhi was not polite. He walked aside, found a chair and sat down. He took the tea, but he didn't drink it and put it aside.
"Excuse me, Master, what do you want to discuss with me?" When Zhou Ding said this, his heart beat like a drum, and he was very nervous. He had not recognized Lin Jingzhi before, so he suspected that Lin Jingzhi knew that Jishengtang had curative effects.
After taking extraordinary pills, he came up with a dark idea.
He has been practicing medicine for decades and is very aware of the value of pills. It is easier, more convenient and more effective than boiling Chinese medicine soup. If it can be produced in large quantities, he will definitely make a lot of wealth.
It's a pity that he doesn't know how to make this kind of pill himself, and the female shopkeeper who hired him doesn't seem to have any intention of teaching him.
"I'm Lin Jingzhi!" After thinking about it, Lin Jingzhi thought it would be better to show his banner first and then discuss business matters.
Zhou Ding is a native of Luocheng. He has heard of Lin Jingzhi's name. He quickly bent down and gave another salute, saying respectfully: "It turns out to be Mr. Lin. I am blind and failed to recognize your identity.
Please forgive me."
"Get up, you don't have to be so polite. In fact, I came here this time to discuss something with you." Lin Jingzhi smiled and gave him a polite hand.
"If Mr. Lin has any orders, just tell him. I dare not disobey you!" The Lin family in Luocheng is not something that a small Jishengtang can compete with, so Zhou Ding is as humble as a slave of the Lin family.
"You don't have to be so polite. Sit down and talk." Lin Jingzhi pointed to a chair and asked Zhou Ding to sit down. Then he got down to business, "Actually, the reason I came here this time is to cooperate with Jishengtang."
Let’s work together to help the refugees.”
Zhou Ding still couldn't figure out what Lin Jingzhi had in mind. He just dared to sit on the chair with half his buttocks, and asked without knowing why: "How does Mr. Lin plan to cooperate with Jishengtang?"
"It's very simple. Jishengtang still opens outpatient clinics and sells medicines as before, but it can only collect half of the money for the medicines sold to refugees. The other half will be paid by the Lin family. In addition, in Jishengtang's
A sign was put up in front of the door to address the Lin family in Luocheng. After the doctors at Jishengtang prescribed medicine to the patients, they would also explain to them that the reason why medical treatment was not expensive was because the Lin family paid for half of the medicine.
.”
After Zhou Ding heard this, he was a little confused. Could it be that he had thought wrongly? He had no idea of taking the pill at all, so he asked again, "Besides, does Second Master Lin have any other instructions?"
"No, it's just such a small thing." Although he knew that Jishengtang didn't have any good tea, Lin Jingzhi felt dry after talking for a while, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip. As expected, besides being bitter, the tea was also
bitter.
Zhou Dingyuan was still thinking that if Lin Jingzhi really wanted to take the pill, he would have to think of a reason to hold him back, stabilize him first, and then say hello to the female shopkeeper to see how to deal with it. But now he heard that it was just such a small matter.
He struck his palms with both hands and said, "If Second Master Lin only talks about this matter, then this villain can take care of this matter for the master's family."
"Oh? You are not the owner of Jishengtang?"
"No, the villain is just a doctor, responsible for diagnosing diseases and prescribing medicines." Zhou Ding explained.
Lin Jingzhi frowned, feeling something was wrong. Since this middle-aged man is not the owner of the drug store, does the store owner know about changing the packaging of medicines and making money?
He heard it clearly just now, and it seemed that this method had just started to be used.
"Who is the owner of Jishengtang?"
"Going back to the second master, the master of Jishengtang is named Qin. He lives in Jiancheng. He is busy with business and rarely comes to Luocheng. Therefore, if the second master Lin wants to meet the master's family, it will be very difficult.
"Zhou Ding followed Zhiqiu's instructions and told a lie to deal with it.
Even though he knew that this lie was impossible for Lin Jingzhi to expose, he was still nervous to deceive the head of the Lin family in person, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The owner doesn’t often come to Los Angeles to manage the pharmacy business, so wouldn’t it be easier for the doctor who oversees the pharmacy to make ill-gotten gains?
Lin Jingzhi shook his head when he heard this, but as long as Jishengtang can cooperate with the Lin family, it doesn't have much to do with him whether Zhou Ding really uses the owner's things to make money for himself, "Oh, so that's it?
Then let me ask you, have you ever calculated how much money you can earn from treating refugees and prescribing medicines every day in the past few days?"
Zhou Ding thought for a moment before replying: "Master Lin, it's hard to say this number because there are more and more refugees in Luo City. The number of patients treated by the villain today is twice as many as yesterday."
Because he had some doubts about Zhou Ding's character, Lin Jingzhi felt somewhat uneasy when he saw that Zhou Ding did not give a rough figure. He could spend more money to help the victims, but he did not want an unrelated person to defraud the Lin family.
Half a copper coin, "If that's the case, then I'll go back to my house and find a literate servant to come and make notes, and ask him to help you here."
"Okay, I have no objection," Zhou Ding replied.
After discussing the cooperation with Zhou Ding, Lin Jingzhi said goodbye and left. Walking on the street, he thought for a while and decided to visit the soup kitchen again. When he approached the city gate, he saw a few ruffians.
Young men of similar appearance were huddled in the corner, looking at the place where the Lin family had set up a tent to prepare porridge, and they were whispering. Some of the words were slightly louder and could be heard clearly in their ears.
"The Lin family is so damn ruthless. They hacked to death seven or eight strong men who were making trouble in one go. And in the end, Luo City guard Zhang didn't dare to do anything to them!"
"Yeah, so those gang of bastard servants paid me money to come to the Lin family's territory to cause trouble, but I didn't even agree!" dd
