"Director Zhou, the medicinal herbs I supply are no ordinary herbs; they are top-quality ones. Does your hospital regularly provide physical examinations for county leaders? At that time, could Director Zhou perhaps recommend some of these premium medicinal herbs?"
Zhou Qiyuan's expression changed slightly. This young man was quite bold, daring to set his sights on the leadership of Funing County.
Zhang Cheng was also helpless. Ordinary people have empty pockets, are conservative in their thinking, and even if they have money, they hold onto it and are unwilling to spend it.
"Nowadays, dried Solomon's Seal is priced at two yuan per kilogram. Premium Solomon's Seal is priced at twenty-one yuan per box."
"What?"
Zhou Qiyuan suspected he had misheard. "Polygonatum, twenty-one boxes? Who would buy that? Are they stupid?"
Seeing Zhou Qiyuan's expression, Zhang Cheng sighed inwardly. The purchasing department director's vision was ultimately limited.
Since ancient times, people have been divided into different classes.
The villagers thought that Solomon's Seal was useless, and even two yuan a pound was too expensive.
City dwellers might be willing to spend two yuan to buy a pound of Polygonatum to brew tea and drink it for several months.
However, those who are truly powerful might consider the two-yuan-per-pound Polygonatum to be cheap and of poor quality.
On the contrary, only those priced at twenty-one boxes or two hundred boxes truly reflect one's status.
"Director Zhou, please take a look at the quotation." Zhang Cheng said, taking out a piece of paper from his inner pocket and handing it to Zhou Qiyuan.
Zhou Qiyuan frowned, took it, and unfolded it.
Holy crap!
Zhou Qiyuan nearly cursed as he glanced at the price list.
Premium Polygonatum, 21 boxes.
Top-grade Polygonatum, 200 yuan a box?
Premium Panax notoginseng, 31 boxes.
Premium Tianqi, 350 yuan a box.
Damn it, who would buy at such an exorbitant price?
Seeing Zhou Qiyuan look up, Zhang Cheng spoke first, "Director Zhou, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance too. Let's cooperate once, and split the profits 50/50."
Half the profit?
The swear words that were about to come out were swallowed back.
Zhou Qiyuan's heart skipped a beat. What if there really was a sucker?
"Director Zhou, what's your monthly salary? One hundred? Two hundred?"
"Cough cough." Zhou Qiyuan coughed dryly. His monthly salary was sixteen yuan and fifty cents, plus some gray income, thirty or forty yuan at most.
"Director Zhou, you can promote this to various departments and let doctors prescribe it as appropriate. Give the doctors a 10% commission."
"This...isn't it against the rules?"
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."
Zhang Cheng's actions were nothing more than following the path of later pharmaceutical representatives.
The medicine is real medicine.
Zhou Qiyuan frowned and pondered.
Zhang Cheng did not urge him, but waited patiently.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up has swept through Funing County. The top leadership is determined to make changes, and Zhou Qiyuan can naturally sense the direction of the wind.
The most obvious example is the reform of the urban housing system.
The commercial housing is already taking shape!
