Section 186 Investigation (14)
However, the business of the small customers of Jubaotang is unique, not only with few types, but also with a large number. Similar to Hearthstone, a customer often purchases hundreds of bottles at a time. How many markets do you have to go to sell the medicine?
However, the customer's communication is very diligent. The interval between delivering the previous batch of goods to the next batch of goods is only eleven or twelve days long, and only five or six days short. Is this medicine taken by myself still like this...
The strangeness is more than that. Yuan Shuzhi also found in the account book that customers all deliver the payment in advance and then have to wait for several days to deliver the goods. This is really rare. What magic pill is so popular? Look at the price, too, and it also goes up and down, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Although Yuan Shuzhi has not been engaged in the medicinal materials industry, he has also received training in health and medical care. He knows the business practices of these traditional pharmacies, which is not in line with the common sense of this industry.
The current "modification" is mainly aimed at these "unreasonable" aspects, especially the sales amount and unit price must be greatly reduced. In particular, the executive said that in addition to modification, we must also make a "base book" without any modification according to the "Australian Accounting" method.
When Yuan Shuzhi saw the "Heartstone Spoon", he was already suspicious. When the senior executive said this, he felt that there was something wrong with it.
But just this doesn’t explain any problem. The key is whether their medicine is mixed with "Australian medicine".
Yuan Shuzhi wanted to inquire, but the management of this Jubao account was extremely strict. After a few days, I only saw the senior executive and his servant here. I had never seen the others. He usually kept his daily life and accounting in the small courtyard, and some people were sent to the yard for three meals a day. If he was tired, he could walk around in the yard, but if he wanted to leave the yard, he would be stopped by his servant. It was like house arrest.
The two sets of books that have been prepared will be taken away immediately. The next day, the executive will bring the returned books and tell him what is wrong and ask him to modify them. However, as he makes more and more books and knows the store owner's ideas more and more clearly, there are few books that need to be modified now.
Now, Yuan Shuzhi realized that there was something wrong here. Fortunately, when he left the inn, he had already sent a secret letter to Boluo's investigation team and told him where he was going. Now the working group should have sent someone to keep an eye on this place. So Old Yuan was not worried.
Yuan Shuzhi's secret letter was sent to Boluo County through Qiwei's letter channel, and Lu Cheng was overjoyed. Because of their special identities, if they appeared in Yao City, they would be a warning to the enemy. Therefore, the entire investigation team only stayed in Boluo County. On the one hand, they started the "flight inspection" work in a decent manner. The Boluo County Government was busy with a bunch; on the other hand, they sent a few secret spies to go to Yao City to inquire about the situation.
Now that the news of the spy has not arrived, Yuan Shuzhi has "invaded the enemy" - judging from the content of the report in the letter, this Jubaotang is indeed very suspicious.
After obtaining Yuan Shuzhi's report, the investigation team immediately adjusted the deployment and dispatched several local "instructions" to keep an eye on Jubao through the political security commissioner in Boluo County. At the same time, they began to secretly investigate the drug shop.
After investigation, it was found that Jubaohao was opened less than half a year ago. After opening, it mainly sells patent medicines such as "Pandan Paste Powder" and does not sell raw medicines. On weekdays, there are only some drug dealers who purchase goods, and there is no special highlight. In the tax registration book of Boluo County, there is a "market tax" payment record of Jubaohao. Judging from the names and value of the medicines listed above, the value of the medicines sold per month is only a few hundred yuan. Most of them are mid- and low-end daily medicines, and the largest one is Hearthstone Powder.
So where did these Hearthstone powders be purchased? From the market tax registration book, it can be seen that the Hearthstone powder is marked with the word "Chun", which means that these medicines are all imported from Wanchun. However, when sold, they are marked with the word "Ju".
In this way, the Hearthstone San of Jubaohao is just a remodel of Wan Chunquan.
The problem is that although Wan Chunquan's main store is in Boluo County, it also has its own store in Dongtian Medicine Market. Not only that, Wan Chunquan is a century-old brand, and Hearthstone San was the first to be prepared by this company. Although there is no concept of trademark registration and patent protection in this era, and various pharmacies can sell homemade Hearthstone San, no matter in terms of the store's longevity or reputation of medicines, Wan Chunquan's Hearthstone San is obviously more authoritative. Why do drug dealers turn a corner to Jubaotang?
If you want to talk about the possibility, Jubaohao is "making fakes" and bought Wanchunquan's original medicine, mixed with other cheap ingredients, and turned into ten parts to make profits.
However, after secretly investigating Wan Chunquan's shopkeeper, manager, past account books and some elderly people in the medicine market, Lu Cheng found that this was not the case.
Although Wan Chunquan's Hearthstone Powder is one of the main medicines in the store, it has a general reputation and is a patent medicine with certain effects but is useless. The formula of this medicine is very simple, the raw materials are not expensive, and there are similar patent medicines outside, with mediocre sales. No matter which one, there is no need to make a fraud.
So what is the significance of their rebelliousness? Lu Cheng thought of the content of the case report and guessed that it was likely that the Jubaohao had incorporated Australian drugs into Wanchunquan's Hearthstone Powder, which made such an incredible move.
At present, she took care of the political security commissioner in Boluo County and assigned a medicine dealer to go to Jubao to purchase goods. She bought some hearthstones and sent them back to Huizhou Prefecture for relevant personnel to identify the ingredients.
Unexpectedly, the identification result was that Hearthstone powder did not contain compound ingredients.
Could it be that the guess was wrong? For a moment, everyone in the investigation team was in conflict.
"No," Lu Cheng said decisively, "Although it does not contain compound ingredients, it cannot prove that Jubao is fine. The people we sent were innocent, and they probably had suspicion!"
"Abduct a medicine dealer who often goes to Jubao!" She issued an order, "Don't arrest him in the medicine market, wait until he gets on the official road before secretly kidnapping him."
Since Zheng Xiaoyu finished the "joint clinic" business, he has accepted 20% of his slutty shares. He is even more close to Boss He likes his brothers, and often secretly goes to He Jun's mansion to have banquets and have fun.
On that day, He Jun invited Zheng Xiaoyu at his private house. He was already familiar with the family and changed to a Mingren's outfit. At night, he sat in a sedan chair and quietly came to He Jun's private house.
This private house is not He Jun's main house, but where he "hidden in the golden house" outside, he not only carries beautiful concubines and maids, but also serves with superb chefs. There is also a small garden in the mansion. It is both secret and comfortable. Therefore, it is also a place where he entertains distinguished guests and "public relations and communication".
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food. Seeing that Zheng Xiaoyu was so drunk, he felt that the time was almost done, so he complimented him first.
After some flattery, he whispered: "I see that my brothers are young and promising, and are highly appreciated by the elders. Sooner or later, they will become great! If you don't dislike me, you will become sworn brothers of different surnames. We are blessed and difficult to share. We will make our business bigger and bigger. My brother's business is half of that of my brother!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Zheng Xiaoyu said everything he said is good now, but he still has to take some action in his attitude. "But this Senate is most afraid of forming brothers of different surnames. If the Senate is discovered, it's afraid it's not good for you and me."
"It's okay. No matter how powerful the Senate is, you can't control it in your private house." He Jun comforted, "You and I will just be sworn in private, and you don't have to exchange Geng Tie. Naturally, it must be kept confidential and cannot hinder the future of my brother. After I become sworn, I will be a family. Anything that my brother has, besides your sister-in-law, will you just take it away if you have any brothers!"
"Haha, brother, you are joking." Zheng Xiaoyu heard that he was so "passionate" and knew that today's banquet must have "drunk goods". The previous one was just a prelude, and this time he should be going to join him.
He immediately followed the flow and said, "I am a brother with my elder brother, I am not willing to ask for anything." After that, he sighed: "I'm not hiding it from my elder brother. I've been born in a humble family. My parents have died since I was a child, and I have struggled to survive. I have long thought of having a family member who knows the cold and the heat. Since my elder brother is unwilling to abandon me, I am naturally willing..." After that, I wiped my eyes.
So, the two became sworn brothers under the moon. He Jun was older and Zheng Xiaoyu was younger and he was younger.
After the two of them formed an alliance, Zheng Xiaoyu toasted a glass of wine to He Jun.
"Since Brother Zheng doesn't dislike me and is willing to be brothers with me, I won't say anything. I'll do this glass!" He Jun immediately drank the wine.
The two of them exchanged cups and chatted with each other. While drinking and drinking, He Jun asked if he could issue more "prescription visas" to the joint clinic of Bailinghao.
"What's the difficulty?" Zheng Xiaoyu smiled, "You'll just send someone to collect it tomorrow."
He Jun smiled and poured wine for him, whispering: "Brother is not talking about that."
"What kind of that is?" Zheng Xiaoyu deliberately pretended to be confused.
He Jun knew that he was pretending to behave, so he smiled intimately and said, "What other kind is, of course, the prescription for controlling drugs."
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xiaoyu shook his head, lowered his head and smiled without saying a word.
Seeing that he did not express his opinion, He Jun was secretly anxious and asked, "Brother! This prescription?"
"It's hard." Zheng Xiaoyu sighed, "Brother must also know that the Senate is keeping a close eye on the control of drugs, and this prescription is strictly controlled. If you use it, something will happen if you don't make a lot of money by then, and you will get a slut in an investigation team. Why bother! Just with the four words of the joint clinic now, plus the right to control drugs, brother, can you make money while you are lying down?!"
