() In the past few days when Liu Fu was tossing the goods, the small village courtyard used as a pharmaceutical factory was also sorted out. 10 women bought from Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places also arrived one after another. These 10 women all
They were bought according to Liu Fu's standards. They were all widows with boys. The boys were no more than 10 years old and basically illiterate. They were all clean and had a middleman as guarantor. When Liu Fu proposed this standard at that time,
Although Liu Fu had no objection, his look contained contempt.
In fact, Liu Fu has her own ideas. She wants women because the jobs in pharmaceutical factories are suitable for women. She also wants to be illiterate because she is afraid that they will see the Chinese characters on the medicine packages. She wants to take care of children, which has two meanings. One is to treat the children as their own.
Hostages are safer. Secondly, Liu Fu plans to cultivate a group of people who are loyal to him. If he wants to brainwash them, it is best to start with babies.
Arranging food, housing, and work is an expensive job. Liu Fu only requires that you pay attention to hygiene and nutrition. You must bathe three times a week and have three meals a day, and they must be dry rice. One big fish and meat meal a week, and each child must
2 eggs a day, and then they recite "Ode to Love" loudly before eating and going to bed every day. This is a short poem compiled by Liu Fu himself. There are not many words, but it is full of extremely disgusting words. It probably means that the third young master is the sky,
The third young master is the land. Without the third young master, there will be no new life. When Dagui was asked to recite it first, Dagui could not eat for several days.
It is said to be a pharmaceutical factory, but it is actually a packaging workshop. Two of the ten women are responsible for taking care of the children and cooking every day. The job of the remaining eight is to unpack the whole box of medicines, take out the tablets, and pack them into locally baked medicines.
Put 3 pills in each small porcelain bottle, then plug the bottle cap tightly and seal it with wax. 10 bottles per box, 10 boxes per box, seal them and store them temporarily in the warehouse of the village. Dagui is responsible for accounting and gets them from Liu Fu.
There are quantities of medicines that are taken away. After packaging, the quantities must match, neither too much nor too little. All packages are burned together every day. If there is a problem, everyone will be starved and not allowed to eat. Even if they are bought, they will be counted.
Liu Fu still decided to pay the domestic slaves, 5 silver coins per month per person, 4 sets of clothes and 4 pairs of shoes a year. In Dagui terms, this is not working, but being a pig. He eats more than he works all day long.
.
The pharmaceutical factory here is operating normally, and the pharmacy in Guangzhou has also opened. The pharmacy is in Guangzhou, and Liu Fu didn't see anything. The name was given by Liu Fu, and it's called "Golden Elephant Pharmacy." It specializes in Western medicine.
Plant medicine, "anti-inflammatory tablets" in small porcelain bottles. There are only 5 clerks in the drugstore. They are called clerks, but in fact they are all family members of the governor's Yamen. There is still a vacancy for the sitting doctor. David promised to go to Hong Kong.
At some point, I'll find a doctor from the British team to top up the numbers.
The pharmacies and pharmaceutical factories were all open, and it was time for David to return to Europe. He took several large purchase lists written by Liu Fu to him, hugged his son and kissed him again and again, then reluctantly boarded a cargo ship bound for Hong Kong. In the cabin
There are also 500 boxes of "anti-inflammatory tablets" specially prepared for him. It's not that I don't want to bring more for him, but I really don't have that many boxes from the copycats.
Watching the sailboat slowly leaving the dock, Liu Fu couldn't calm down for a long time. Whether his plan could succeed or not would largely depend on David's return to Europe to sell medicine this time, because most of the equipment and equipment in his planned Taiwan base
The technicians need to be brought back from Europe.
Taiwan in June 1886 was no different from previous years. People farmed, people sold goods, and people went to sea. The big blue and green iron ship that parked in the port two months ago was still parked there.
Since there are often lights on the ship when the sky is dark, many fishing boats and cargo ships that enter and exit Tamsui Port all year round use this large ship as a lighthouse to identify the direction of the dock.
It took more than 2 months to finally knock off all the pills. A small part was sent to Guangzhou, and most of them were packed in the cabin. These "anti-inflammatory pills" sold well in Japan, and since David invited him to sit in the hall,
After Allen's military doctor saved the fleet commander's lover from the brink of death with "anti-inflammatory tablets", this magical little pill slowly spread among the British troops stationed in Hong Kong and foreigners in Guangzhou. Although it is very expensive,
But between life and money, most capable people choose the former. Moreover, this military doctor Allen discovered that this "anti-inflammatory tablet" is also very effective in treating sex diseases. Now, the sales of the tablets are booming again.
Increase by a few percent.
At first, "anti-inflammatory tablets" were only circulated among British soldiers and foreigners. Gradually, foreign compradors and warehouse owners who had close contact with foreigners also came into contact with "anti-inflammatory tablets." Who can guarantee that they will not get sick?
In that era when a cold or fever could be fatal, who wouldn’t want to buy a few “elixirs” to save their lives? It is said that even some maritime merchants and pirates purchased “anti-inflammatory tablets” from the “Golden Elephant Pharmacy” in Guangzhou through various connections.
.For a time, medicine in Yangcheng was expensive.
In 2 months, more than 300 boxes of "Anti-inflammatory Tablets" were sold, which were of course copied from the packaging. According to the original packaging, there was not even one box, but the sales reached 4.5 million taels. After all costs,
In fact, there is no cost. The store invested more than 200 taels, and the purchase only cost more than 300 taels. There was not much money for packaging, and the salary was not worth mentioning. The biggest expense was to give it to Gao Jinchang, the prefect of Guangzhou.
10,000 taels of tribute and a gift of 5,000 taels to the deputy commander of the British Army.
Although the sales of "anti-inflammatory tablets" are booming and have spread all over Guangzhou, and there are signs of spread in major trading ports, due to its high price, it is basically spread among the middle and upper class incomes, and few people have heard of it. Because there are foreign doctors in the hospital,
All kinds of tributes were sent in a timely manner, and there was a vague relationship with the governor's family in Taiwan. Although some people might be jealous, nothing unusual happened.
Since the sales volume in Guangzhou was basically close to saturation, Liu Fu opened two more chain stores in Quanzhou and Fuzhou. The staff will be deployed by the Guangzhou head office. If there is insufficient, he will continue to buy people to supplement. However, this time there is no need for a widow to take care of the child. In addition to pills
, Liu Fu also unpacked and packaged Zhong Nan Hai cigarettes. The material was bamboo. He chose bamboos with the same thickness and cut them into sections. The length was slightly longer than the cigarettes. After drying, they were slightly polished and simply painted.
Yes. All the work of making bamboo tubes is left to local bamboo shops in Taipei. The quality is very good and the price is low.
Each bamboo tube contains 10 filter-tipped cigarettes and is sealed with a silk-wrapped cork. The name is still called "zhong nan hai". It's not that Liu Fu doesn't want to change the name, but the cigarettes have a trademark printed on them and they can't get rid of them even if they want to.
Anyway, there was no such name as zhong nan hai in the Qing Dynasty, so there was no need to worry about trouble from the court.
These packaged cigarettes were sold together with "anti-inflammatory tablets" in the "Golden Elephant Pharmacy" for 5 taels of silver per tube, which was more expensive than cigars at the time. As for sales, Liu Fu didn't even consider that so many cigarettes would last a long time.
It goes bad when you smoke it yourself, and you can't finish it. It's sold in drugstores as a combination product, and they only sell an "anti-inflammatory tablet" that makes the store feel empty.
David hasn't sent a telegram yet. Liu Fu estimates that he hasn't arrived in Europe yet. The ship was very slow at that time and had to stop and go, adding water and coal. It was estimated that it would take four months to reach Europe. Even if he arrived in Europe, Liu Fu
Fu could not guarantee that David could carry out the agreement as agreed. If he was cruel, he would give up his son and the aristocratic tradition, and use his own pills to start a new business to make a fortune, and Liu Fu would not be able to do anything. Anyway, Liu Fu now has money.
If you don't, you can stop worrying about it for the time being and just take it one step at a time.
Liu Fu is doing a prosperous job and became rich overnight. His father, Liu Mingchuan, is not blind or deaf. With Liu Fu, a caring person, it is estimated that every step he takes is immediately known to his father. However,
Liu Mingchuan not only asked Liu Fu a few times when he came home to visit his parents and gave gifts and greetings to his son, but he also learned that Liu Fu's next plan was to use the money to run charity schools and open mines in Taiwan.
, when building the railway, he neither criticized nor praised it. He just lightly asked Liu Fu to pay attention to various impacts, and told Liu Fu if he needed help, and said nothing else.
