Chapter 13 Business

(This chapter is free)

When I arrived at East Street, Renxintang's business seemed to be worse than yesterday. The Qingdetang business at the end of the street was very prosperous. A new advertisement was launched at the door. The red paper was written with big brush words: "Famous doctors treat patients, and the medicine is cured, the price is affordable, and they compare the prices. Any patients who get medicine at this pharmacy are exempted from one essay for less than twenty cents, and two essays are exempt from less than thirty cents..."

Fang Ling secretly thought that Qingdetang is really good at attracting business. He is both a famous doctor and free of money. He can't even make a business difficult.

He walked outside Renxin Hall, Hu Dahai was standing in the shop and looking at the end of the street. Xiao Si said on the side: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, he will definitely have to pay a lot of money if he hires a famous doctor. If he reduces this way, he will definitely lose money."

Hu Dahai snorted and said, "What's the loss? The wool comes from the sheep. The price of medicine in Qingdetang is higher than ours. Isn't it enough to get some medicine and add some money? Such a small advantage has pulled away a lot of our business."

Seeing Fang Ling coming, Hu Dahai smiled and hurriedly walked over and said, "Brother Fang, you are finally here. General Manager Xu from the Tang Mansion is here, come to wait for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, General Manager Xu, who heard the movement outside, walked out. General Manager Xu looked in his forties, wearing a blue short shirt, and looked quite good at practicing martial arts, and seemed a little different from those butlers in ordinary officials' residences.

As soon as General Manager Xu walked out, he smiled humbly and said, "This is Mr. Fang, you must be Mr. Fang. The master asked me to come and wait in the morning."

Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xu, don't be polite. Please wait for me. I'll talk about business with Manager Hu first."

Manager Xu nodded and said, "It's okay, Mr. Fang, please do your business first, I'll just wait outside."

Hu Dahai gasped, what is the position of the general manager of the Tang Mansion? Even the fourth-rank officials have to talk to each other with kindness, but General Manager Xu showed some respect to Fang Ling.

As soon as he entered the inner room, Hu Dahai couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Fang, you are really amazing. Even the head of the Tang Mansion should be respectful to you."

Fang Ling heard that he wanted to find out the inside story, but he didn't say much, just smiled and said, "This is all about the boss, I'm just an errand."

“Yes yes.”

When Hu Dahai heard this, he felt that it was natural that Fang Ling's boss could get so many precious medicinal materials, so he naturally had many channels, perhaps because he knew General Tang Shen.

Fang Ling didn’t bring many medicinal materials today. After all, the Taishu Hospital’s medicinal materials library is not cleaned every day. Fang Ling also sells a little bit, and how much does it cost.

After counting the medicinal materials, Hu Dahai was about to get the money, but he saw Fang Ling take out three small porcelain bottles and handed them over.

As soon as Hu Dahai opened it, he smelled a scent of medicine. Seeing that there were several pills inside, he said with confusion: "This is..."

Fang Ling smiled and said, "This pill is called the Cold Relief Pill. It was developed by our boss for a famous doctor specifically for this wind and cold."

Hu Dahai was a little surprised and hesitated: "Then the effect of this medicine..."

Fang Ling said solemnly: "This medicine is one pill a day. The symptoms improved significantly on the first day, the symptoms were halved on the second and third day, and the cold can be cured almost on the fourth day."

Hu Dahai was shocked and said in surprise: "Four days? Really...it's really such a good effect?"

Fang Ling smiled and said, "Does Manager Hu think I need to deceive you?"

Hu Dahai waved his hand quickly and said, "Brother Fang, I don't mean that. I mean, if there is such a good medicine, then the boss's meaning is..."

Fang Ling said: "Although this medicine has a very effective effect, our boss has always only sold medicinal materials, so it is naturally impossible to open a store to sell medicine. Therefore, I want to use the Renxintang font to sell this medicine on behalf of others. As for the price, you can discuss it again."

Hu Dahai pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "Although Brother Fang and I have not been doing business for a long time, we are naturally very confident about the strength of our boss. It is natural to be a good prescription to get such good medicinal materials. However, I am just a shopkeeper with a sub-colon. If I want to take new medicine, I must have the consent of the shopkeeper of the head office."

"What Manager Hu means is that you want me to meet the boss?" Fang Ling asked.

Hu Dahai said: "Brother Fang doesn't know much about the situation of our Renxintang. The old shopkeeper stepped down three years ago and handed over the power to his eldest daughter Xu Xiuyun. Xu Xiuyun is the current big shopkeeper of Renxintang. Originally, the shopkeeper Xu was taught by the old shopkeeper since he was a child and was very good at running a pharmacy. However, the uncles in the store were not very satisfied with the old shopkeeper handing over the power to a woman's house, so he has never been convinced by her. This new medicine was not developed by our Renxintang. If it was to be sold on the shelves, even if I could persuade the shopkeeper Xu, those uncles would probably try their best to disturb him."

"Then is there any way for Manager Hu?" Fang Ling didn't expect that there were so many questions inside Renxin Hall, so he couldn't help asking.

Hu Dahai touched his chin and thought for a while, and smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's not just a way, the key is just an opportunity."

"Time?" Fang Ling said strangely.

Hu Dahai said: "I have received news today that not only the Qingde Hall semicolon on East Street, but also the other semicolons have invited famous doctors in the clinic to take charge. These semicolons are almost not far from our Renxin Hall semicolon, so business will have some impact. If I guess correctly, within a few days, the shopkeeper Xu will recruit shopkeepers from each semicolon to discuss countermeasures."

"What then?" Fang Ling asked.

Hu Dahai smiled and said, "If I can obtain strong evidence of the efficacy of the medicine before the meeting and I will be put to the meeting at that time, I believe that the shopkeeper Xu will not object. Naturally, those uncles don't want to affect the development of the medicine shop because of this matter."

"Shopkeeper Hu is a brilliant man." Fang Ling raised his thumbs up and praised.

Hu Dahai bowed humbly, "Brother Fang is too much. Isn't doing business mutual benefit? Once this pill is released, it can make your boss's family make money, it can relieve my Renxintang crisis, and it can make me Hu Dahai's face shine. This thing about how to arrow three eagles is something that even my grandfather and grandma can't encounter."

Seeing Hu Dahai talking interestingly, Fang Ling couldn't help laughing, and then said, "I have ideas about the effect of this medicine, so I'll give it for free!"

"Free gift?" Hu Dahai said a little strangely.

Fang Ling smiled and said, "Yes, if it is a gift and there is no money to be collected, then the new drug cannot be put on the shelves, but invisibly, the reputation of Renxintang can be used. Then, if each patient who gives comes back the next day to feedback the effect of the medicine, he can get a second pill. In this way, will he not be able to obtain a strong proof of the efficacy of the medicine after four days?"

Hu Dahai slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Fang, I think your move is really wonderful. This golden and silver stele is not as good as the people's reputation. It is free medicine. First, it is a good deed, and second, it can prove the efficacy of medicine. Third, it is a neighbor who spreads one by one and ten to hundreds of people. This cold-removing pill cannot be used without being fire."

"Then I will ask Manager Hu in these four days. I will deliver medicine on time tomorrow and the next day." Fang Ling said.

"Everything is covered by me, Hu Dahai." Hu Dahai patted his chest and personally sent Fang Ling out.

Fang Ling left Renxin Hall, and General Manager Xu had already prepared the carriage outside, so the two went to Tang Mansion together.

Today, Fang Ling is already a guest in the Tang Mansion. Although he is young and dressed normally, the whole mansion dares not neglect. Everyone knows that the eldest lady of the Tang family is the flesh of Lord Tang, and she has been caring for her since childhood.

Three months ago, Tang Zihao asked someone to bring a few border wild horses over for a lot of money. These wild horses were fat and strong, with excellent bloodlines, and the cheapest one was also 600 taels of silver.

Tang Zihao was very happy and kept him in the horse farm outside the city. He didn't know that Tang Wan was on a whim and wanted to try to tame one, but was thrown out by the wild horse. He broke his foot from then on. Although his foot was connected, it was red, swollen and black due to the accumulation of blood stasis. He didn't even take care of the famous doctors in the clinic. Even the imperial physician had visited him, but he was completely unable to do so.

Tang Zihao was so angry that he slaughtered all the wild horses and threw them out of the city just to vent his anger for his daughter.

Now, this young man is said to be able to cure Miss Tang's foot injury, so everyone is naturally serving him carefully.

After entering the Tang Mansion, Tang Zihao and his wife immediately came up. Tang Zihao smiled and said, "Young Master Fang is finally here. My daughter is waiting early in the morning."

"Lord Lao Tang's family has been waiting for a long time. This is medicine. Please let the kitchen heat up. You have to drink medicine before you can treat it later." Fang Ling handed over the jar of blood circulation and stasis.

Tang Zihao quickly ordered the servant to take it to the kitchen, and then said, "I have prepared a clean house to let Mr. Fang see a good doctor."

Fang Ling said, "There is no need for a room. Lord Tang prepares me a yard that is sun-powered."

"Beijing?" Tang Zihao was a little surprised. He was treated in the room, so how could he see a doctor in the yard? But then he thought that this young man inherited the medical skills of a foreigner, and he might be really different from ordinary doctors, so he immediately ordered again.

After walking to the yard, Tang Wan was also helped in by the maid. As soon as she saw Fang Ling, she suddenly smiled a little on her face and gave a slight salute.

Fang Ling hurriedly said, "Miss Tang doesn't have to be too polite, just sit down first."

After Tang Wan sat down, the medicine was already hot in the kitchen. It was almost noon at this time. Although it was winter and the temperature was not too high, after drinking this bowl of hot medicine, some sweat also oozed from Tang Wan's forehead.
