Ah Si had never seen Yuan Qingling give an order so decisively. She was stunned for a moment. When the last order was given, she asked blankly: "How much cheaper?"
Yuan Qingling's eyes were cold, "When the officials from the Huimin Department come over, I will carefully look at the drug prices and calculate the cost first. Even if I don't make a dime, I will destroy Huiping!"
The accountant was trembling when he heard this, "If you don't make money, then the price of medical treatment will be low."
Yuan Qing Ling calmed down her anger and said: "It was just an angry talk. You can't set the price too low. It should be slightly higher than the Huimin Department, but it must be much cheaper than them, because if there is really no profit, it will also kill people."
Other medical clinics, of course, most of the medical clinics in Beijing, even if they are not owned by Huiping, are now controlled by her. Listen to her words. I didn’t want to take this step, but Huiping is going too far. If the medical expenses are allowed
If you remain so high, the people's anger will be like water, and it will surely capsize the boat."
After Tang Yang heard this, he felt relieved. He was really afraid that the princess had lost her mind. If the medical clinic didn't make money, there would be big trouble. There were so many private medical clinics in Northern Tang Dynasty, and the people were all dependent on them.
After Mr. Fang, an official from the Huimin Department, came over, he analyzed it with Yuan Qingling, "In the medical clinic in Beijing, the consultation fee is about fifty to one hundred yuan. This is the price of a sit-in consultation. If it is a house visit, then
It is negotiated between the patient and the doctor, and it can range from one tael of silver to a hundred taels of silver. This is not fixed. It depends on what the patient needs the doctor to do. Of course, it involves privacy at home and it is difficult to say. As for the cost of medicine, many medicines are not expensive in themselves, but many doctors
Pharmacies will prescribe a lot of expensive medicinal materials to patients. In fact, there are many substitutes for these expensive medicinal materials. A medicine that costs ten cents a piece sometimes costs three to four taels or even more than ten taels. I have seen patients suffering from Qi deficiency.
For those with severe symptoms, Codonopsis Codonopsis and Astragalus root can be used. If you have to prescribe ginseng, won’t the price of the medicine go up? I am responsible for purchasing medicines. Many medicine dealers complain that medical clinics rarely use low-cost medicines nowadays.
medicine, because the profit cannot increase, five cents per pound of Prunella vulgaris can double the profit, and it only costs ten cents. But if cat's claw is used, it will be different. Cat's claw is now
The price of the goods is fifty cents per catty, and if you double it, it will be one hundred cents. These expensive medicines are more than doubled in the medical clinic. The more expensive the medicines, the higher the price. The ginseng you got back for two taels of silver can be sold for ten cents.
Two hundred taels to go."
Mr. Fang does not need to elaborate on the depth of the water here. Yuan Qingling also knows a thing or two.
"Princess Huiping said that her fifty-three medical clinics pay taxes to the court of more than one million taels every year. Is it possible that it is so much?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Lord Fang smiled faintly, "Princess, the tax of the medical clinic is high, almost 20% of the profit, and the more income, the more tax you pay. How much money Princess Huiping earns every year, I don't know, but it must be
More than five million taels, because in addition to opening a medical clinic and drug store, she also opened a pharmaceutical factory, Yiyi Xiaoyao Pill, which cost only one penny, but she sold it for twenty penny, saying that she added some precious medicinal materials, but ordinary
Those who know the inside story also understand that this Xiaoyao Pill only has a few ingredients, so what kind of precious medicinal materials are needed?"
"What kind of medicine does her pharmaceutical factory produce?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"They are all common patent medicines, such as Baifeng Pills, Xiaoyao Pills, Lily Tang Pills, etc. The prices are relatively high, but the factories in Beijing that manufacture patent medicines are almost always controlled by her, so they are forced to pay as high as hers.
, the prices in the state capitals near the capital are basically the same, and she has sent people to take care of them."
"Is there anyone who doesn't want to join her?"
Before Mr. Fang could answer, Ah Si said coldly: "How could it be possible? Who doesn't want to make money? If everyone sells at a high price, they will make more money. The hearts of these people are completely black.
Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Ah Si didn't know this at first. She was from a wealthy family, so why did she need to worry about medical expenses? When Master Fang said this, her lungs almost exploded with anger.
