Chapter 791 Want to Learn Military Equipment Supervision
"Girl, if you have something to say, just say it." Liang Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw her strange expression.
Shen Qingqian shook her head. "Nothing. I'll show it to my uncle after the data is compiled."
That was just her rough estimate. She should wait until she gets the exact data before telling others.
After hearing this, Liang Cheng guessed something and stopped asking.
Seeing that they still had other things to discuss, Shen Qingqian stepped out.
She hadn't been to the military medical department for some time, so she headed there immediately.
"Hey, why are you here?" Doctor Hu was surprised to see her coming over, and then he waved to her excitedly, "That's perfect, you have experience in this matter, come and tell them."
Shen Qingqian was confused, "What's going on?"
"Sixth Miss, Doctor Hu just discussed with us that he wants to set up a pharmacy like the Military Arsenal did to earn some pocket money for everyone." Xiao Sun said with a bitter face.
Shen Qingqian was stunned when she heard this. "Chengyaofang"
Isn't that just competing with Jingrentang for market share?
Doctor Hu glared at Xiao Sun and said, "You're really trying to make this old man look good. It's just a matter of making medicine, and you're having a hard time. You're backing out before you even start."
"No, I just..." Xiao Sun wanted to defend himself, but his mouth was not keeping up and he couldn't say a single word.
Shen Qingqian was now certain that Doctor Hu wanted to follow the example of Master Qin and make some extra money for the Military Medical Department while there was no fighting in the army.
"Girl, do you have any suggestions?" Doctor Hu looked at Shen Qingqian eagerly.
He didn't know anything else, but he knew that Old Man Qin often asked this girl questions, especially about business, and this girl was no worse than those businessmen.
Shen Qingqian glanced around the room. Everyone's eyes were on her, making her speak more cautiously. She first looked at Doctor Hu and asked, "Do you want to do this business long-term, or just make a quick buck?"
"Ah, is there any difference?" Doctor Hu asked doubtfully.
Shen Qingqian was both amused and confused, "Of course there is a difference."
The Military Medical Department is different from the Military Equipment Bureau. They have to be prepared at all times. Once a war breaks out, all the military doctors and apprentices have to go to the battlefield. It is not realistic to run a pharmacy - if the war lasts for a year or two, will the business still exist?
Of course, if you want to make it a long-term business, it is not impossible, but you have to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and energy to cultivate external talents at the beginning, so that you can support the pharmacy during wartime.
But Doctor Hu obviously didn't want to do this for a long time.
After listening to Shen Qingqian's explanation, Doctor Hu suddenly understood, and then said decisively: "Let's make some money first. Whether we want to do it long-term or not, we can decide after a year."
"Are you sure?" Shen Qingqian confirmed.
Doctor Hu nodded. "Well, our Military Medical Department is too poor. We dare not invest a large sum of money right from the start. If the goods cannot be sold, we don't know how long it will take to use them up."
The Military Equipment Bureau accepts orders from outside, while they sell finished medicines to the outside world. One is passive and the other is active, so he should be cautious.
Shen Qingqian thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? In half a month, there will be three caravans in Ezhou, departing from Ebei City to the east, south, and west respectively. You should work hard recently and make a batch of finished medicine. I'll have the caravans take them around Ezhou to see how things are going."
"Okay!" Doctor Hu clapped his hands. "That's no problem, but what medicine should we make?"
Shen Qingqian: ""
