"How is it? It's much more magnificent than Runshitang." Yang Shixiang smiled bitterly and showed admiration.
Although the store was busy, a waiter came to greet them as soon as they came in. Yang Shixiang said: "I have a post and a gift list, please help me send it to Guidong."
"Yes, may I ask what the guest officer's name is?"
"My surname is Yang." Yang Shixiang said, "As soon as your post is sent in, Guidong will naturally know about it."
"Yes, little one, let's go right now." He said, first asking them to sit down on a chair on the side, and offering tea, and then asked the two of them if they smoked? They were prepared for hookahs and dry cigarettes. Liu San thought about the service attitude of the old society.
This kind of thoughtfulness and respect is not comparable to the professional toothy smile of modern waiters.
The clerk went in to deliver the message, but Liu San took the time to observe the operation of the entire drug store. Although there were many people coming and going in the store, they all had their own places to go. Some were holding prescriptions to grab medicine; some were carrying small medicine carts.
There are also businessmen, well-dressed and elegant, who should be big customers. No matter what kind of people come, there will be dedicated waiters to entertain and entertain them in a meticulous manner. Even if the ancients did not learn modern management and other things, right
There is something unique about business management.
At the corner of the counter, I saw a specially erected signboard: "Delong Co., Ltd., accepted throughout the province. Exchange tickets are issued and cashed upon sight." This is indeed the Delong Co., Ltd. No wonder, there are only such large fonts
Only the medicinal materials shop can allocate tens of thousands of silver at any time. The efforts of the Guangzhou Station have really paid off.
The stools were not even hot when I suddenly heard people calling from inside: "Please, Mr. Fifth!"
At this moment, the guy who had just announced the message had already ran out, came to Yang Shixiang, and said, "Fifth Master, I have seen my sin. I am ignorant and blind--"
"Forget it," Yang Shixiang said calmly, "I won't come to Foshan for a long time, and the people below you will inevitably become unfamiliar."
"No wonder!" the waiter said with a smile, "please come in quickly! The master ordered the flower hall to serve tea."
After saying that, he bowed, extended his hand to greet the guests, and then led the way, taking Yang Shixiang and Liu San to a small courtyard.
This small courtyard is specially used to welcome distinguished guests. It is surrounded by flowers and trees and has three halls in a row. It is exquisitely decorated. There is a small plaque hanging on the door in the middle, with the word "Seeing the Heart" written on it. Before entering the hall, there was a footman.
Sing loudly to announce: "The Fifth Master is here!"
Then Xiang Feizhu's door curtain was lifted, and a man in his thirties stepped out. His face was as white as jade, wearing a black gauze cap, a square towel, a half-worn gray satin straight tie, white cloth socks, and black satin shoes.
, Feng Shen is handsome, from head to toe, he has the air of a nobleman from Tsinghua University, and it is impossible to tell that he is a big local businessman.
"Fifth brother!" The person who came was Yang Shixiang, Yang Shixiang's direct cousin and the current head shopkeeper of Yangrun Kaitang Deji. "We haven't seen each other for many years, and you are well!"
"TOEFL!" Yang Shixiang offered his hand as a gift, "My elder brother and sister-in-law are always well?"
"Okay, okay, this is--"
"This is my brother's best friend, Dr. Liu, a famous doctor in Lingao."
"Disrespect, disrespect." Yang Shiyi's eyes turned several times on Liu San's face, and there was a glint in his eyes. He was indeed not an ordinary successful young man.
He led them into a guest room on the east side. Liu San took a look and saw that the decoration was extremely neat, with calligraphy, paintings, and toys, and the layout was sparse and elegant - the owner had a good taste.
The great businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are really quite impressive! Thinking that in the original time and space, within twenty years, such elegant and elegant people would most likely become dead bones on the roadside or live in shacks, living a miserable life. The prosperity of the world would be wasted.
As for the wolf smoke, I can’t help but sigh with emotion.
The two parties exchanged polite greetings and said goodbye to their families. Yang Shiyi was extremely polite, asked about his well-being, and apologized profusely, saying that business was busy and the sea route had been uneasy in recent years, so he had never been to Lingao. The relatives were not familiar with each other.
, I have to come and go often from now on.
There were already eight tall basins on the coffee table, filled with refreshments and fruits. The servants also gave them hand towels soaked in well water to wipe their sweat. The courtesy was very thoughtful, which made Liu San a little confused: Could it be that this Yang Shixiang was ashamed because he felt poor?
Are you a little nervous? Looking at the appearance of shopkeeper Yang, there is no snobbery at all.
After some socializing, Yang Shiyi asked Yang Shixiang the reason for his visit.
Yang Shixiang then explained the matter of adding some valuable medicinal materials to synthesize two summer-heat medicines:
"... After thinking about it, only Brother's place has the most comprehensive range of fine goods. It's better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself, so I came to Brother's place to bother you."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Yang Shiyi nodded, but the meaning on his face was just perfunctory. He didn't even ask what kind of medicine he wanted to put in. He just ordered:
"Tell the kitchen to prepare a banquet. At noon, I will take care of the fifth master and Dr. Liu."
"Yes!" said the waiter, "please tell me, sir, there will be a dinner tonight..."
"I know, let's talk about it later."
"Brother has something to do in the evening, so I don't dare to disturb the banquet. I understand." Yang Shixiang said, "I just want to ask eldest brother to take a look at this list and ask the assistant to help me prepare the goods. Brother, I can take it back to Lingao to make medicine."
"Where, we brothers haven't seen each other for many years, and we always have to drink wine." Yang Shiyi said, "You want to bring in some medicinal materials, what are they?"
He took the order, glanced at it a few times, and murmured to himself: "Born...musk...bezoar...flying gold..." He repeated it several times, then put down the order and said: "Good stuff, brother."
I have them all here, but they’re just not enough for what my fifth brother wants.”
Without waiting for Yang Shixiang to speak, he started talking: a certain item has to be used for medicinal purposes, a certain item has been ordered by a big customer, and a certain item has a relationship with so and so, so we have to make arrangements first.
…
Only then did Liu San feel something was wrong. He looked at Yang Shixiang coldly and asked, "How many can we match?"
"Well, about one-fifth of each. Musk and flying gold are only a little bit, not even one-fifth."
"This is too little, not enough for medicinal purposes." Yang Shixiang said, "To be honest with you, brother, I recently took over a big business, and I can sell this batch of medicines after combining them. I thought the stuff here would be good."
The most complete, no need to worry about two families..."
"Oh? Congratulations to the fifth brother!" Yang Shiyi was smiling all over his face, "It's just that there's really not enough goods here, brother!" He pondered for a moment, "In this case, I asked the manager to go to the colleagues in the industry to transfer some goods, but here we are.
It's inevitable, inevitable..." He sighed, "Nowadays, people are not as old as they used to be. Even if you are familiar with the store, you have to pay in cash to buy goods! Alas!"
At this time, Liu San's feelings towards Yang Shiyi had changed 180 degrees. This was clearly an excuse. The more expensive it was, the more out of stock it was. To exchange the goods, cash was required - cash payment was not available even in modern time and space.
Enterprises can do this, not to mention that in ancient commercial society, according to the rules, wholesale accounts were settled three times a year. This kind of excuse is so deceitful that no one would believe it. It is clear that no cash will be given and no goods will be delivered.
Yang Shixiang probably expected such a situation, and said hurriedly: "Brother! This time I will distribute the goods without credit. Brother will distribute as much as he has, and I will pay according to the price." After that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
The money came, "I heard that this is also Delong's acceptance number, brother? It also saves me the trouble of going to redeem the money."
"Oh?" Yang Shiyi took it. Yes, this is exactly the fifty-tael money order issued by Delong Bank that can be cashed on sight. This kind of special paper, ink, and the extremely complicated patterns on it are all things that ordinary people simply don't know.
It cannot be counterfeited. It is undoubtedly authentic!
As if he didn't believe it, Yang Shiyi looked at the watermark again. Then he let it go: "I didn't expect that the fifth brother would get into big business this time."
"It's easy to talk about, is this enough?"
"Fifth brother is too ignorant, too ignorant. The eldest brother can still help raise these medicinal materials." Although he said this, he had no intention of handing the money order back.
"If there is any extra, add some commonly used medicinal materials and I will take them back to Lingao."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange for the goods to be combined."
Yang Shiyi probably thought it was strange that this brother was suddenly able to pay for goods this time, so he kept trying to deal with him, trying to get something out of him. But Yang Shixiang was very tight-lipped and didn't say anything. He only asked what he had synthesized.
Can the medicinal powder be sold on consignment at Yang Run Kaitang and wholesale on behalf of me?
Yang Shixiang currently does not have the ability to sell goods directly on the mainland, so it is naturally the most cost-effective way to find a large-name consignment company like Yang Runkaitang with extensive business contacts and reputation.
"This -" Yang Shiyi hesitated, "Fifth brother, you don't know the ancestral teachings. We can't see outsiders' patent medicines without prescriptions. According to the rules, they are not allowed to enter the store for sale. In case there is something wrong with the disease or the effect is
It’s not obvious, but it’s not that other people’s recipes are wrong, it’s that our Yang Run Kaitang sells poor quality goods..."
"Don't worry, brother, I've seen both of these two recipes. The combination is indeed unique, and there will definitely be no problems."
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Yang Shixiang handed over the samples of Biwen Powder and Zhuge Xingjun Powder. Yang Shiyi took it doubtfully, poured it on the back of his hand, twisted it with his fingers, and sniffed it through his nostrils.
.
"There's nothing wrong with the medicine." Yang Shiyi said, "It's just not that surprising. It just refreshes the mind and refreshes the mind. I'm afraid it won't be a good idea to go to Yang Run's hall to consign it - well, the fifth brother has come all the way.
I can’t let you go all the way in vain. How about I call the shopkeeper of Gongjitang to come over and help you consign the goods there?”
Yang Shixiang's face suddenly turned ugly. He remembered Liu San's words and wanted to open up the situation. At the moment, he could only rely on Yang Run's help from Kaitang. It was embarrassing. But if he entered Gongjitang and sold it, the value of the medicine he had painstakingly made would plummet.
, the hope of opening up the situation is very slim. How can this be worthy of Liu San who gave him the prescription and liquidity?
