Merchant and doctor

"Eat breakfast, look for Lao Yao", a brick-and-concrete bungalow, the store is not too big or small, it's still early, there are three or two diners sitting inside and out, it looks clean.

In the hot season, sitting outside the store is fine.

Two portions of tofu nao, one portion of beef ball soup, a large bowl, half a catty of deep-fried dough sticks, three bean buns, plus five tea eggs, as side dishes, Mu asked for three kinds of shredded kohlrabi with light sauce, lettuce with sauce, and cold cucumber with yuba , the two chatted while eating.

"Uncle! Some time ago, I discussed a prescription with Mr. Huang Boxi, and I heard him say it casually. I remember that the bezoar was only 15 to 17 per kilogram at that time. How did it suddenly rise to 30?! Too Is it too vigorous?!" Bian Mu asked in surprise.

"Puyang, otherwise I wouldn't be going down the mountain right now! In previous years, I would be raising seedlings on the mountain at this time!"

"Popular rise? What's the current market price of Codonopsis ginseng?" Bian Mu asked casually.

"260 a kilogram." Lao Pei responded.

"Good guy! It's risen so much?"

"No! Wulingzhi, people usually use less! The price has been relatively stable, generally maintained at forty or fifty. Recently, it has all been raised to more than 80, and the quality is good, at least 100!" Lao Pei is a professional , Naturally clear about the market conditions.

"Then do you think this wave of market prices can last for a while?" Bian Mu asked.

"Almost, I plan to sell out the inventory in my hand in batches to maximize the profit as much as possible." Old Pei replied with a smile.

"Your approach is a bit similar to the 'sell stocks in stages' in the stock market. Are you in a hurry to sell, and are your family in a hurry to spend money?" Bian Mu asked casually.

"Hey! The pressure of life is increasing, and it is not easy for the children. The performance of the two companies they work in has been declining year by year. The two companies are almost the same, and the income gap is quite large. The expenses of housing loans, car loans, and children's schooling... all kinds of expenses only increase but not decrease. , If the two of us don’t subsidize more, maybe the supply will be cut off, and the surplus will be used to make up for the shortage. Maybe, this is how the economy and society are balanced.” Lao Pei responded.

What Lao Pei said was full of the meaning of "my own child is pampered", so Bian Mu was too lazy to answer such boring topics.

Smiling slightly, Bian Mu continued to eat his fried dough sticks.

"You mentioned stocks just now, why? You're still in the business of 'Qingchi Pharmaceutical'?" Lao Pei is very sensitive to money recently, as long as he can make money, he wants to hear about it.

"Recently, I started to get promoted, and I don't know much about it. It stands to reason that Qi Yuewei of the Qi family should know more technical inside information. Considering that we are only casual acquaintances, I don't have the nerve to ask her about it. I usually rely on myself Thinking about it, by the way, the calculation method you taught me can be linked to stock calculations, which helped me a lot! However, there are many technical barriers involved, and I don’t want to be in that area for a while. Too much time wasted, procrastinating, and the small clinic has no clue yet!" Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"Don't worry! I know you are anxious to make money and want your family to live a better life. Haste makes waste! Take your time! Isn't Huang Boxi good? Medical practitioners, in some respects, Nie Yixiong, Cen Songxue, Meng Shulan... No one at that level can compare to famous people. He opened a pharmacy, built a hospital, and operated a pharmaceutical factory in partnership... He was able to make a fuss, but what happened? Didn’t he end up re-employing to Huikang? Said, in terms of total income, he is far behind those of Nie Yixiong, why? He is too impatient! His mind is not small, and he has no structure. You are so young, so naturally you can't repeat the same mistakes." The old man Pei solemnly persuaded him a few words.

"Well... when I'm fine, I always compare myself with Mr. Huang, but it's really difficult to overtake on a curve. You know that, with our personality, opening a clinic is just a trick at best. To make a living, if you are lucky, you can ask for food and clothing at most, and if you ask for anything else...the medicine will have to be thrown on the ground with mud. So...to ask for money, you have to find another way." Bian Mu told the truth.

"No! Many years ago, I knew a Chinese doctor, a woman, whose comprehensive medical skills are not inferior to yours. If there is any herbal medicine that is not easy to mix, she will find me there, and I will get to know each other. She is also single-minded. When it comes to money, there is nothing to talk about medical supplies. As a result, she went to outpatient clinics, sold medicine, massage and other physiotherapy, and she was reluctant to spend money to hire more helpers. As a result, she was exhausted and sick. The year before last, it was terminal gastric cancer It's a pity that she left in a short time. If you want to follow her old path, you will only end up sick and disabled in the future. You are right! You have to find another way. Now that society is developing so well, as long as your IQ is online If you don't give up, you will come out sooner or later." Lao Pei followed Bian Mu's words and responded a few words.

"Then it must be opened as soon as possible, otherwise, if I don't contact patients for a long time, I will have a baby after a long time."

"Then let's look at the house first! How big are you going to rent?" Lao Pei asked.

"I want to rent a house with an area of ​​about 200 square meters, but my friends say it's too big and a waste!"

"Don't listen to them, it would be better if you can rent 300 square meters, I support you! You have to follow Xiao He's way in this matter." Lao Pei's appetite is limited, and he has already eaten and drank well at this time. The dishes and chopsticks were simply cleaned up.

Lao Pei belongs to the class with high personal qualities. Even if he eats in an inconspicuous small shop, he will try his best to keep the tables and chairs clean.

"Xiao He? That Prime Minister Xiao of Han Sanjie?"

"Yes! After pacifying the world, Liu Bang asked him to build the capital of Chang'an. From the very beginning, Xiao He designed the construction plan very grandly. Liu Bang was so angry that he scolded him directly, saying that the national strength is still poor, and it is a waste of money. What did Xiao He say? Definitely remember."

"Understood! It's done in one step from the beginning, so that future emperors won't need to make large-scale construction, repeated construction, and repeated waste."

"That's right! The path taken by the Ming Dynasty was exactly the opposite of that of the Han Dynasty. As a result, it was a big loss in the Chongzhen generation. Let's rent more than 200. It is best to have two floors upstairs and downstairs, so that in the future you You can move forward and backward freely, and you can save a lot of wasted money." Listening to Lao Pei's words, he seems to be quite experienced.

"I plan to rent a storefront in a remote community, do you think it's suitable?"

"Appropriate! According to ordinary people's thinking, at a young age, your medical skills have already caught up with Qi Shangqi's level. You can rent a small shop in a prosperous area, and sell some medicines for the rich. You don't need much. You can see 40 patients a day. One patient is enough, after a year, earning some money is not enough! In fact? Is that the case? Hehe..."

"I think so too. I don't even have a nurse by my side, and I'm busy with everything alone. Let alone taking the pulse and prescribing prescriptions, messy chores that I can't think of are enough to distract my energy. What's more, I more or less I have offended a lot of people, I am in the open, and others are in the dark, if I do something wrong, it will be enough for me to drink a pot and make a fortune? If you can keep even in the first year, you are considered a master." Bian Mu echoed a few words.

"Why don't you say that you are young and mature! Different is different. If you can think this way, it should be no problem to earn some money in the future." Lao Pei said with a smile.

As the number of people going to work continued to increase, more and more diners gathered in and out of the "eat breakfast, find Lao Yao" shop, and it was a bit inconvenient to sit there and talk about things, and Bian Mu had almost eaten, so he got up Entered the shop and paid the bill, and accompanied Lao Pei out of the east corner gate of Ningguo Temple Herb Wholesale and Wholesale Market.
