Chapter 93 Getting in touch
The pharmaceutical factory is not big. It is a state-owned factory established more than ten years ago. The medicinal materials it produces are mainly Chinese patent medicines, and the sales area is not wide, only some places nearby.
But after Gao Mingcheng came to the pharmaceutical factory, he remembered that the factory would go bankrupt in the 1990s and then be sold to a private individual to establish a private pharmaceutical factory.
The private pharmaceutical factory bought a Western medicine production line that had been eliminated by a large state-owned pharmaceutical factory at a low price, and opened up the market with Western medicine.
And with the progress of the times, Western medicine has developed rapidly and soon became a commonly used medicine among the people.
However, Chinese patent medicines and decoctions gradually declined.
Weighing, pricing, accounting, and finally the money and goods are settled.
Gao Mingcheng counted the money in his hand and found that the amount matched, so he stuffed it into the pocket inside his coat.
He didn't make much money this time, because the price offered by the pharmaceutical factory was only slightly higher than the purchase price. If he had other ways, or sold the drugs slowly, he might be able to make more money in the end, but Gao Mingcheng was impatient.
He brought the medicine back to sell just to test the market in the county, and he was even prepared to make a loss.
Therefore, the medicinal herbs he bought were all precious and nourishing Chinese medicinal herbs, thinking that if he was stuck with the herbs, he would just eat them slowly by himself!
But it is also good to be able to sell it and get a profit.
The most important thing is that he has established a relationship with the pharmaceutical factory, so those ordinary medicinal materials piled up in his home can also be sent to the pharmaceutical factory. Although he doesn't make as much money as at the pharmaceutical trade fair, it's convenient!
Although the pharmaceutical trade fair is great, it only happens once a year.
Medicinal materials are harvested in different seasons of the year. They are harvested promptly every season, and then processed or dried before being immediately sent to pharmaceutical factories for cash.
"Technician Yang, I have something to ask you." After the transaction was completed, Gao Mingcheng did not leave immediately, but chatted with Technician Yang.
"You say." Technician Yang looked at him with a smile.
"Zhangshu is not far from here, so why doesn't the factory send people to the medicine fair in Zhangshu to purchase medicinal materials?" This is what Gao Mingcheng was curious about. Originally, he approached Gao Guobing because he wanted Gao Guobing to introduce him to some rich people.
What do rich people love most? Health care, of course!
If you have money, you want to prolong your life, so you will definitely have no resistance to precious Chinese medicinal materials.
But what Gao Mingcheng didn't expect was that Gao Guobing called the pharmaceutical factory directly, and his medicinal materials were bought out by the pharmaceutical factory.
After hearing this, Technician Yang subconsciously looked around. When he found that no one noticed them, he moved closer and whispered, "Without instructions from above, how dare we go there? Even if we collect local medicinal materials, it is also required by the higher-ups to ensure some normal income for the local area."
Gao Mingcheng was surprised and said subconsciously: "But I did meet some people from other pharmaceutical companies at the pharmaceutical trade fair, some from the provincial capital..."
Technician Yang laughed and looked at Gao Mingcheng with a look that you understand. "The pharmaceutical factory in the provincial capital is of course different!"
As for how they were different, Technician Yang didn't say much.
Gao Mingcheng probably knew what was going on by now, so he didn't ask any more questions, but he did ask why the pharmaceutical company also accepted Western medicines.
Technician Yang explained it in more detail. That is, Western medicine is a scarce product in the market, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it no matter where you place it.
Pharmaceutical companies can make some money by purchasing Western medicines and reselling them.
The two chatted for a while and became closer to each other. Gao Mingcheng also made an appointment with the other party to send the medicinal herbs he had stored at home next time.
When they left the pharmaceutical factory, it was about half past eleven. There was still some time before lunch, so Gao Mingcheng did not rush to leave, but walked back slowly.
He looked around and once again took in the county town of the 1980s.
Backward, shabby, and not fashionable at all!
However, people walking on the streets are full of vigor and vitality and are full of longing for the future.
Suddenly, Gao Mingcheng stopped and looked towards a clothing store.
The clothing store was not big, even a little shabby, but it was packed with customers, all vying to look at a coat.
That coat looks familiar...
Gao Mingcheng frowned, feeling a sense of déjà vu, until he saw the long white scarf that matched the coat, then he suddenly realized what was going on.
This is the clothes worn by Xu Wenqiang in "The Bund"!
"The Bund" was introduced from Hong Kong to the mainland for broadcast in 1985. Once it was broadcast, it quickly became popular all over the country, causing a great sensation and sweeping the country. The drama's soul-stirring theme song has been sung for a long time.
With the explosion of popularity of "The Bund", people walking on the streets were vying to imitate the characters in the drama, and clothing styles similar to those worn by the protagonists became trendy items that everyone rushed to buy.
This is a county town, and not many families have televisions, so their aesthetic taste lags behind that of first-tier cities. Styles that were popular in first-tier cities last year only became popular in the county town this year.
By the way, the clothing business in the 1980s and 1990s was also a very good business!
As people's lives gradually improve, their pursuit of food, clothing, housing and transportation will also increase, especially young women, who are even willing to spend a month's - no, several months' - salary to buy a beautiful piece of clothing!
Due to the times, people in the past generally dressed simply, with few colors of fabric and rustic styles of clothes.
Few people buy ready-made clothes in state-owned shopping malls, and many people buy cloth and have their own clothes made by tailors, so the styles of clothes naturally become less fashionable.
Gao Mingcheng stared at the clothing store, not because he wanted to buy a coat, but because he thought of many beautiful things.
At the pharmaceutical trade fair, he had thought of letting many Americans become disciples of an old Chinese doctor and concentrate on learning medical skills. In the future, they could either work in a hospital or open their own clinic, as both were stable skills.
But now...if many Americans are willing, they can do the clothing business.
If you want to do clothing business, you can either go to Yangcheng to purchase goods and bring them here to sell, or set up your own clothing workshop and make and sell your own clothes.
As for the styles of clothes... although Gao Mingcheng doesn't know much about them, he can still give some suggestions that will be popular in the future.
This thought turned over in Gao Mingcheng's mind, and he walked forward.
He decided to ask Xuanmei's opinion after he returned to see whether she wanted to study medicine or do business.
Now that he has money, he can make any arrangements he wants.
It’s great to have money!
Gao Mingcheng grinned and strode into the police station. Gao Guobing just came out of the office, and the uncle and nephew happened to meet.
Gao Guobing didn't rush to ask about selling medicinal herbs, but said, "Let's go to Lao Lin Restaurant for dinner."
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng smiled and walked out side by side with Gao Guobing.
He was already guessing in his mind who Gao Guobing would introduce to him.
