Chapter 842: The Brain Can't Turn
Go back and ask your father how much supplies you can provide. I will use the silver I got from them and add some of my own money to buy from you and then transport it to Zhecheng."
Although she didn't want to be ordered around by Chen Haobing and the others, part of their previous plan was in line with her plan.
"My father has actually prepared a batch of supplies these days." Fang Shiqing was a little embarrassed, "When there were disasters in other places before, my parents also donated supplies and money."
"Didn't Master Fang say that?"
"No, my father said that we should just do these things according to our heart, and there is no need to make a fuss about it."
"That's true. Master Fang is a kind-hearted person. However, you saw today that even Chen Haobing, who had just arrived in Beijing and hadn't established himself yet, had set his sights on the Fang family. What does that mean?"
Fu Zhaoning admires Fang Dafu. He is not the kind of person who is rich but unkind.
"What does that mean?" Fang Shiqing was stunned.
“It shows that sometimes, we should speak out when we do good.”
Fu Zhaoning patted her hand gently, "A good reputation can sometimes be a protection."
But the balance in between has to be determined by oneself. She believes that Fang Dafu can make such a big business and can grasp it well. She is just reminding him.
"I understand. I will tell my father when I get back. Zhaoning, don't worry. I will ask my parents to prepare some more supplies."
"We'll prepare as much as we can within three days."
"good."
After arriving at Prince Jun's Mansion, Fang Shiqing did not enter the mansion again. She was anxious to go back and tell her parents about this matter.
As soon as Fu Zhaoning entered the palace, he saw Mr. Ji and Dong Huanzhi.
"Master, Second Brother? Why are you here?"
Old Ji had been waiting for quite a while and had even drunk three or four cups of tea, but he did not speak to Dong Huanzhi. The master and disciple just stared at each other. Butler Zhong, who was accompanying them, also looked a little tired.
Seeing Fu Zhaoning coming back, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Prince Jun sent me a message saying that he wanted to buy some medicinal herbs and asked us to prepare them first."
At this point, Ji Lao glanced at Dong Huanzhi and said, "I said that we should reduce the profit by 40% for this batch of medicinal materials. Your second senior brother disagrees. The head shopkeeper is very powerful."
The tone is very yin and yang.
Fu Zhaoning's mouth twitched.
Dong Huanzhi was also helpless. He stood up and waited for Fu Zhaoning to walk to the main seat and sit down before he spoke.
"Junior sister, the herbs don't belong to my brother or Master alone. They belong to the Medicine Alliance. We kept an account when we purchased them. We clearly wrote down the amount of money we received for each batch of herbs."
"Isn't this nonsense? How could we not know all this?" Mr. Ji interrupted him.
"Master, what I want to say is that when those herbs are sold, the profits are not uniform. For some herbs, we only make 1% profit, for some, 2% or 3%, and of course, for some, we make more than 5%. If you sell all the herbs to King Jun at a 40% profit, it will be difficult for the accountant to calculate."
Dong Huanzhi seems to be in a very depressed state these past few days. He is not in a very good mood and sounds a little weak when he speaks.
He tried to explain more clearly.
"The large quantities of medicinal herbs that Prince Jun wants are those that can cure colds or external injuries. They are the more common ones, and they are also the cheaper ones with the lowest profit margins. For several types, we charge 10% or 20% profit to keep the Medicine Alliance from losing money. If we charge 40% profit for all these medicinal herbs, there will be a big hole in the Medicine Alliance's account."
Dong Huanzhi said to Fu Zhaoning helplessly, "Junior sister, this will make it difficult to explain the account books I sent to the General Alliance in the past six months."
I understand, it means losing money.
Before Fu Zhaoning could say anything, Mr. Ji snorted, "What's wrong with saying this? I've let you put all the blame on me."
"Master, how can this be possible? After all, I am in charge of the branch alliance in the capital, and it is always my responsibility." Dong Huanzhi couldn't help but push all the responsibilities onto his master.
"You are afraid of this and that. You are so timid. It's because you just took over here. You are afraid that you won't be able to do anything outstanding and let the people in the Medicine Alliance think that you are incompetent. This makes you lack courage."
Dong Huanzhi looked a little unhappy after hearing such ruthless words from his master.
"What's with that expression on your face? Don't you think about what Prince Jun wants to do by suddenly buying such a large amount of medicinal herbs?" Old Ji felt a little disappointed when he saw him like this.
"Junior sister, are the herbs that King Jun bought for making medicine for you?" Dong Huanzhi asked Fu Zhaoning.
"What do you mean by making medicine for your junior sister? It should be said that this batch of medicine is to be used on the victims!" Elder Ji looked at Fu Zhaoning, "right?"
Fu Zhaoning nodded, "Yes, Brother, we are going to transport this batch of herbs to Zhecheng for disaster relief. It is freezing cold now, and there are too many disaster victims. We cannot accommodate them well in Zhecheng, and many people will be infected with the cold."
"Did you hear that?" Elder Ji snorted and said to Dong Huanzhi, "Your junior sister is doing charity, so can we make money? We'll give up 40% of the profit on this batch of herbs, just think of it as doing charity together. Just be direct and make the decision boldly! Why not?"
He is already the chief shopkeeper, and he can make the final arrangements for the medicinal materials here. Although such a large amount of medicinal materials may cause dissatisfaction among other people in the Medicine Alliance when it is reported, can't he handle this little bit of pressure?
"It's not a free donation, it's just a profit. Even if there is a loss, it won't be too much."
Dong Huanzhi wanted to say, Master, you often do this. The other elders in the Medicine Alliance have already had opinions about you, but you don’t know.
Their pharmaceutical alliance can also donate medicinal materials, but the quantity will not be too much, and there is a quota for the amount that can be donated each year. Donations exceeding this amount will not be accepted.
"There is also a branch of the Medicine Alliance in Zhecheng." Dong Huanzhi said with difficulty, "Most of the medicinal materials there should be handed over for free medical treatment for the victims, so the amount of donations there is huge."
"The branch shops are the branch shops, and the capital is the capital. Dong Huanzhi, before you became the chief shopkeeper, did the leader tell you that the purpose of the Medicine Alliance is to be stingy and mean?"
Mr. Ji was extremely angry.
Dong Huanzhi had already been told that these medicinal herbs would be used on the victims, and that Prince Jun would definitely buy them for Fu Zhaoning.
If Fu Zhaoning uses these medicinal herbs, he will definitely be able to bring out the greatest effect of all the herbs.
Moreover, Fu Zhaoning is also a member of the Medicine Alliance. This means that the Medicine Alliance has done something for its own people, and they will also have a good reputation in the future.
Why couldn’t Dong Huanzhi figure it out?
Now you still care about those things!
"That's not the case. I'm just worried that if all the herbs here are shipped out, the capital city will become an empty medicine warehouse. It will be troublesome if something really happens," said Dong Huanzhi.
