857 Medical ethics is getting further and further away from you
Feng Qingchen just mentioned it casually, but Su Wenqing became nervous and his face became serious.
"What you said makes sense. I earn so much money every year. The emperor might not have been jealous before, but after the snowstorm, I dare not say that the Su family will be safe." The more he earns, the more money the Ninth Prince has. If the emperor really finds an opportunity, he will definitely kill him.
"It's good that you understand. The emperor is short of money now. If the emperor can find a legitimate reason, even the Ninth Uncle can only protect you but not the Su family's property. No matter what, the person sitting on that position is the emperor. As long as he has the right reasons, even the officials and the people will stand on his side." Position determines height. No matter how powerful the Ninth Uncle is, there are things he cannot take care of.
Feng Qingchen's words made Su Wenqing no longer happy. He and the Ninth Prince had thought about this possibility before and felt that there would be no problem in the short term.
In addition, their most profitable businesses are all secret smuggling industries, and they do not take the nominal industries seriously. After all, no matter how much money a legitimate industry makes, it is visible, but without a legitimate industry as a cover, those smuggling businesses cannot be done.
They were not worried about the emperor taking ruthless action before because there was no precedent. They thought the emperor was not petty enough to compete with the common people for profit. But now it is different. According to the news they received from the Ninth Uncle, the emperor has the idea of going to war, but the empty treasury cannot support the emperor in fighting a war.
Thinking of what happened to the Yun family before, Su Wenqing understood that it was impossible for the emperor to target him for the sake of the great cause of unification. Even a mosquito's thigh is still meat. No matter how poor he, Su Wenqing, was still better off than other businessmen.
This matter is really... a headache, but these things are not urgent at the moment. Although Su Wenqing is worried and wants to find a solution to preserve the Su family's property as soon as possible, this kind of thing cannot be accomplished in a day or two. He should solve the current problem first.
Su Wenqing quickly recovered from his shock, looked at Feng Qingchen with a half-smile, and brought the subject back: "Okay, since you reminded me, I won't bother with you about the pregnancy-preserving medicine. The rise of the Yun family is also a good thing for me." Someone shared the risk with him.
In the eyes of the emperor, the Su family and the Yun family are both sheep he keeps in a pen. The difference is that the Su family’s backer is the Ninth Prince. When the sheep becomes fat and the emperor wants to eat it, he will definitely slaughter it without hesitation.
The Yun family has Yuncheng as their backer, and the Yun family's foundation is not only in Dongling. The emperor's hands are not long enough to wipe it out with one knife. But even so, the emperor still cut the wool off the Yun family's sheep and threw it away. He would not feel sorry if it died. If it lived, he would wait for it to continue growing wool and cut it again...
In the face of imperial power, no matter how wealthy a businessman is, he is nothing but a cloud.
Feng Qingchen knew that Su Wenqing had figured it out, and smiled. In terms of closeness, of course Su Wenqing was closer to her, but when it came to the matter of pregnancy-preserving drugs, she would rather cooperate with the Yun family.
"I'm relieved if you're not angry. There's no end to making money. Medicinal herbs aren't the only profitable businesses in this world. You're different from the Yun family in terms of business. You have too many businesses. Even if you value the business of the pharmacy, you won't be like the Yun family, who only focus on the medicinal herbs business. I'm worried about handing over the abortion-preserving medicine to you."
This is the truth. The Yun family will use all their strength to do this business because it concerns the survival of their family, but Su Wenqing will not. For Su Wenqing, this is just one of his businesses. If there is a loss, just settle this one business and it will not shake the foundation.
Now it was Su Wenqing's turn to be speechless. Feng Qingchen was right, he couldn't just think about himself. Su Wenqing touched his nose and silently pointed out the main point of today's visit.
"I'm not going to get involved in the business of pregnancy-preserving drugs, okay? Um... can you give me a hundred or so boxes of pregnancy-preserving drugs? There are so many people asking about this stuff recently. As a businessman, if I want to give people gifts, of course I have to give them gifts that touch their hearts."
"Gift? You want to give pregnancy-stabilizing medicine as a gift?" But after thinking about it, Feng Qingchen understood that health care products are indeed very popular as gifts during festivals.
"This is not considered medicine. It is a rare thing for everyone. You don't know how many people are listening to pregnancy-maintaining medicine now. If those people were not so proud of their status, and if the Yun family hadn't spread the word that you were preparing to sell the goods, those people would probably have rushed to your house. If you have it, sell some before the New Year. Don't sell too much, just a thousand boxes will be enough. I guarantee that you can not only make money, but also gain fame." This is the so-called hunger marketing, which always creates an atmosphere that the supply is tight and you will not be able to buy it if you don't buy it now, so as to stimulate consumers to buy.
Su Wenqing is indeed a profiteer. His sales skills are strong and he sees things more accurately. When he saw people delivering New Year gifts to the Feng Mansion outside the door, he reminded Feng Qingchen: "If you want to give gifts to people or return gifts, I suggest that you prepare a gift and also give a pregnancy-preserving medicine. Those people will be very happy."
I won’t accept any gifts this year, and if I do, I’ll accept pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Feng Qingchen suddenly remembered this tough advertising slogan, and then nodded obediently: "I understand, but are there so many pregnant women in each family?"
Although there is no evil family planning policy, the pregnancy rate in this era is not high.
"It will come sooner or later. It won't go wrong to prepare it in advance. Besides, they didn't say that they would use it for their own family. Can't they give it to others? Don't worry, I can foresee that your pregnancy-preserving medicine will have a very scary sales period in the future. You just need to prepare sufficient supply and then count your money at home." It doesn't matter whether there is a pregnant woman or not. Even if you don't consider the medicine, the clear glass bottle alone is worth buying.
"Is it really that popular?" Feng Qingchen felt a little dizzy, but at the same time, he secretly praised in his heart that the Yun family's publicity ability was really too strong. In this world without the Internet, television, newspapers and other media publicity, they were able to create a buying craze. It was really not easy.
But, this is not what she wants, she just wants to make a little money...
Su Wenqing assured again and again: "Of course, I can guarantee you that if you take 90% of the profits, you will definitely earn more than me within three years. Okay, okay, don't make me envious here, bring me a few boxes of pregnancy-preserving medicine so that I can give them away."
"Oh~~ Wait a minute, I'll go get the medicine for you." Feng Qingchen said lightly, and walked out of the door and pinched herself hard, secretly reminding herself that she must never sell the medicine in the smart medical kit in the future, no matter how short of money she was.
Feng Qingchen walked out with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Su Wenqing just thought that Feng Qingchen was so happy that he didn't know where to go. When he made a big deal for the first time, he also looked at Feng Qingchen. He was not thinking about how much money he would make, but the sense of accomplishment that made him addicted.
If Feng Qingchen knew what Su Wenqing was thinking, he would probably strangle him to death...
