Chapter 21 Thought Bombing
I beg you to collect the red tickets. The boat needs your support. Thank you.
~~~~~~~
In later generations, as one of the leading pharmaceutical merchants in southern China, Li Yuanqing's company had business dealings with several large domestic companies, including the well-known XX Tang and XX century-old brands.
It also includes several European biopharmaceutical giants, as well as Pfizer in the United States, etc., all of whom have close ties and exchanges.
A Chinese female technical director of Pfizer in the United States had a close relationship with Li Yuanqing.
At that time, the two of them had already planned and independently funded the establishment of a new production line to produce a new generation of medicinal materials after the reform. The specific experimental results were basically completed, and they were still short of reporting to the State Food and Drug Administration and obtaining a production license.
But at this moment, Li Yuanqing came to the late Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago.
In this state, Li Yuanqing was of course unable to produce this new generation medicinal material, but Li Yuanqing was extremely familiar with various similar prescriptions.
Isn't it easy to make use of the abundant medicinal raw materials in Guangning City to make some aphrodisiacs?
However, according to Li Yuanqing's current strength, even if he creates a medicine, it still cannot be exchanged for money if there is no platform to promote it.
And Baofengtang, because of its special channels, is the platform that Li Yuanqing needs most.
Li Yuanqing's original intention of creating this "good medicine" mixed with something was also to hope that it could be sold mainly to Houjin.
The Jurchen Tatars can use knives and guns to brutally plunder and rob the Han people's wealth and land, rape, and abuse the Han sisters. Even though Li Yuanqing cannot win back from the front at this time, they cannot stop Li Yuanqing from using some tricks and using other methods.
, to collect some interest from the Jurchen Tatars.
As an emerging bandit armed group in East Asia, the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty are in the process of rapid rise. In this era where male chauvinism is respected, Li Yuanqing believes that those banner masters, Baylor, Age, and big-dressed slaves
, and even the old slave himself, I am afraid that not many people can refuse these treasures of his.
Although the owner of Baofengtang is a woman, since she is in this position, she cannot fail to understand the mystery.
At this time, looking at the solemn face of this beautiful woman, Li Yuanqing smiled and stretched out a finger, "Since you are so sincere, madam, let's get it together. We have a long way to go."
Li Yuanqing deliberately raised the tone of "long", which is meaningful and meaningful.
Seeing Li Yuanqing's appearance, the beautiful woman suddenly became relaxed. Shi Shiran smiled and said: "Ten thousand taels? Okay. Deal. However, your goods must be of the same quality as the ones in my hand."
Although Li Yuanqing remained calm on the surface at this time, there was already a storm in his heart.
Ten thousand taels?
This~, what is this concept?
Since the end of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, overseas silver has begun to flow in, and the value of silver has depreciated. However, this is still the first year of Tianqi, not the last year of Chongzhen. One tael of silver, if an ordinary family lives frugally, is enough to maintain expenses for more than a month.
Already.
Ten thousand taels... Actually, Li Yuanqing only wanted one thousand taels...
"Haha. Madam is indeed a hero among women. She is not inferior to men. However, I don't have so many sources of goods now. I can probably collect half of the goods." Li Yuanqing said with a smile.
Although he really wanted to get these 10,000 taels in his hands in the shortest possible time, but~, only a thin stream can flow forever. After finally knocking on the door of Baofengtang, Li Yuanqing didn't want to go too far.
The beautiful woman frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Li Yuanqing's words.
Li Yuanqing continued to smile and said: "Madam, we can also discuss the marketing process of this drug in detail."
"Haha. Are you bothering with this? I, Baofengtang, have my own way." The beautiful woman was very decisive. Obviously, she just wanted to receive the goods and didn't want Li Yuanqing to get involved more.
This is actually a Chinese tradition that has been passed down since ancient times. "The cat teaches the tiger to save a hand." This is also the case for masters and disciples.
Li Yuanqing was not annoyed, and explained with a smile: "Madam, what you are holding in your hand now is a hardcover condensed version. It is specially used by dignitaries. However, in the process of refining the medicine, some medicine residue will inevitably remain.
, In fact, these medicinal residues are not without effect..."
Li Yuanqing unhurriedly taught this beautiful woman the most basic knowledge of medicine refining for future generations.
Many of the Liuwei Dihuang Pills of later generations are actually diluted products of ancient prescriptions, mainly used for warming and tonic.
At this time, Li Yuanqing did not have the medicine refining equipment of later generations, so of course he could not reach the level of later generations in terms of craftsmanship.
In later generations, an ordinary Liuwei Dihuang pill was about the size of a broad bean, but at this time Li Yuanqing's 'elixir' was the size of a peanut.
During this process, a lot of medicinal residue will be produced, which means that the quality is not as good as this hardcover version, and the texture and effect will be worse, but it still has a lot of effects.
Looking at the situation of the beautiful woman, she must take the upper-class route, and things are rare and valuable. But in fact, Li Yuanqing's intention is to make Houjin's country not only affordable for everyone, but at least Niulu
This level of mini-boss can all be used.
Listening to Li Yuanqing's endless talk, this beautiful woman didn't take it seriously at first, but slowly, as Li Yuanqing talked more and more deeply, this beautiful woman's pretty face became more and more...
Become solemn.
Li Yuanqing's words seemed to have opened a new door for her, and an unknown world was coming towards her.
She no longer had the noble airs she had before, and was like a studious primary school student. All her energy was concentrated on Li Yuanqing.
It wasn't until Li Yuanqing's mouth was dry that she picked up the tea cup to drink water and found that there was no water. She then realized what she was doing, got up quickly and said with a smile: "My lord, please leave it alone. I'll go get you some water."
Hearing that she even changed her title, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile lightly. He has 500 years of experience beyond this world, so I don't have to worry about you not taking the bait.
The beautiful woman poured tea for Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing drank it happily and said with a smile: "Madam, in this case, we can price this hardcover version of Shiquan Dabu Pills at ten taels of silver a bottle, sixteen per bottle.
The pills can be taken twice, for two courses of treatment. The ordinary version can be priced at five taels of silver for a large bottle, which is the same 16 pills, and can be taken twice for two courses of treatment. How about it?"
The beautiful woman nodded, but her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, "My lord, I don't have any objections to this sales method. However, calling it Shiquan Dabu Pill is too tacky, isn't it?"
Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment and felt that the name was not essential enough and felt a bit like a charlatan. "Madam, what do you have to say?"
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "In the Yinu family's opinion, why not call it Shenyang Pill, or the Holy Pill of the Western Regions?"
Li Yuanqing also somewhat understood the meaning of this beautiful woman. No matter how good the product is, it still needs a deceptive name, especially for things that people in this era do not understand, such as ghosts and gods, such as the Western Regions...
…………
After walking out of Baofengtang's mansion, Li Yuanqing already had ten thousand-tael silver notes in his hand.
Although this pretty girl is a woman, she is definitely a good hand at doing business. But her courage to "don't trust people when you doubt them, and don't trust people when you employ them" is probably much stronger than that of many men.
I have food in my hands and don’t panic in my heart.
With ten thousand taels of silver notes in hand, Li Yuanqing has basically completed most of Mao Wenlong's most important task.
However, this was only the end of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Shanxi merchant group had sprouted and grown, it was still far from being able to "connect the world" like Lao Qiao in the late Qing Dynasty.
Silver notes can only be used at fixed banks, and can only be used in big cities like the capital and Nanjing, or in fortresses like Guangning and Zhangjiakou.
Back at Yang Jiao's mother's house, Li Yuanqing placed ten thousand-tael silver notes on the table, which immediately stunned Yang Jiao's mother.
"Enemies, this, this, I, my slave family, my slave family, isn't this a dazzling sight? This, this, this is a lot of money?"
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "So, if you follow me, you will not suffer any loss. Just wait with peace of mind. When I finish my busy work these days, you will benefit a lot."
After leaving Yang Jiao's mother's place, Li Yuanqing took Xiaolian and Xiaohe, two little girls, like a military team behind enemy lines, walking through the streets and alleys, and after going back and forth for more than a dozen times, they returned to Li Yuanqing's small house.
Seeing that Li Yuanqing actually brought back two little girls, Zhang Yunniang and Liu Chunhua were also a little stunned.
Li Yuanqing smiled and explained briefly, and the two of them understood Li Yuanqing's intention.
Zhang Yunniang was even more happy. Brother Yuanqing actually bought her a maid. Then, wouldn't she have to be treated like a wife from a wealthy family?
After all, Liu Chunhua was older, so she secretly said to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, with our current family wealth, raising a maid, isn't it..."
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Chunhua, you don't have to worry about money in the future. By the way, I have a very important thing that I want you to do..."
…………
In the evening of that day, Liu Chunhua rented a large, somewhat dilapidated house in the south of Guangning City.
This was originally the house of a certain nobleman, but he committed a crime a few years ago and his whole family was exiled. The dignitaries thought the house was unlucky and could not sell it, so the government mortgaged it to a large pawnshop.
Although this house is dilapidated, it has three entrances and three exits and covers an area of seven or eight acres. It is perfect for being used as Li Yuanqing's temporary factory.
Without much tidying up, Li Yuanqing moved into this big house that night with two women, two young and four young.
Starting early the next morning, Li Yuanqing ordered Liu Chunhua to go to the bank to exchange a thousand-tael silver note for fifty or one hundred taels. Then, he asked Liu Chunhua to go to the slave market and hire dozens of people with sharp eyes and quick hands and smooth legs and feet.
The mother-in-law went to various major medicine shops in Guangning in batches to buy the raw materials for making medicine.
Although he is cautious enough, Li Yuanqing also knows that Guangning City is such a big place. If the beautiful woman is determined to investigate, she will be able to find clues about herself. But time is life, and Li Yuanqing cannot take care of it at this time.
So much.
The main reason is that even if this beautiful woman gets all the raw materials, according to the medicine refining methods of this era, it will be difficult for her to make a concentrated version like hers, and the proportions will be very problematic.
Ten thousand taels of silver might be a lot if replaced by something else, but if it were replaced by medicinal materials, it would be nothing more.
Liu Chunhua asked Liu Chunhua to send away all the women who were working, and Li Yuanqing only asked Zhang Yunniang, Liu Chunhua, Xiaolian, and Xiaohe to take over and start refining the medicine in the kitchen in the backyard.
The job of refining medicine may be said to be simple, but it is actually very simple. It may be said that it is difficult, but it is also extremely difficult. In addition to the ingredients, the most important thing is to control the heat.
Fortunately, in this era, coal has been widely used in daily life. Although it is basically the exclusive preserve of dignitaries, it is not difficult to buy it on the market.
Li Yuanqing asked Zhang Yunniang to buy a large amount of various oils to ensure the temperature of the fire.
But Li Yuanqing didn't have a workshop for later generations, so he definitely couldn't do it at night. He could only eat during the day so as not to attract attention.
In this way, after three whole days of hard work, Li Yuanqing finally finished preparing all the medicinal materials, which was almost a hundred kilograms of 'enhanced version of Liuwei Dihuang Pills', and delivered it to Baofengtang, which was more than enough.
