Chapter six hundred and twenty eight vicious circle
There are many people here, but there are more than 2,000 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines on display, from Cordyceps sinensis to century-old mountain ginseng, as well as some sacred nourishing products that are very popular recently, you can find them all here.
Each Chinese medicine was stored in a separate glass cabinet. Some Chinese medicine glass cabinets were marked with a number, and there was a blank space next to the number. Han Peacock soon understood that this was both an exhibition and an exhibition.
auction.
Some owners of Chinese medicinal materials want to auction their Chinese medicines. They write a reserve price next to their medicinal materials. If they are willing to buy this Chinese medicine, they can write their own bidding price next to it.
Han Kongque's eyes scanned the Chinese medicines in these glass cabinets. He was secretly surprised that these Chinese medicines were all treasures, ranging from common ginseng, deer antlers, and tiger penis.
From the less common wild Cistanche deserticola, Dendrobium officinale, to the common wild Panax notoginseng, many medicinal materials are precious medicinal materials that are not circulated in the market.
The Holy Hand Zhang and the others brought by Han Kongque were already dazzled by the sight. For people like them, many of the medicines here are life-saving medicines that cannot be sought.
Liu Xu, a beauty who usually doesn't have much desire, quickly scanned the various medicines with her eyes. Looking at these traditional Chinese medicines, she secretly drooled. These medicines are all good ingredients for making medicines!
It's just that the prices of these drugs are a bit too high. For example, Panax notoginseng is priced at 100,000 yuan. This price is really expensive.
This batch is pure wild Panax notoginseng that is more than three years old. In addition to the large quantity, the price is barely acceptable.
Otherwise, there is not much difference in efficacy between wild Panax notoginseng and ordinary cultivated Panax notoginseng. It is really not worthwhile to buy them at such a price.
Fortunately, many of the secret recipes provided by Han Kongque also have unique techniques for processing these medicinal materials, so the prepared Chinese medicinal materials are different from those that have been simply processed outside.
This can be regarded as a deep processing, so the price can be raised. Otherwise, if you use such medicinal materials to treat ordinary patients, you will not have to pay for your death?
Since there were a lot of Chinese medicinal materials here, they separated quickly.
The three saints, Zhang Shou, all have their own missions. They take the list provided by Liu Catkin to check and record the medicines that need to be purchased.
Han Peacock took the catkins and willow trees, followed by Zhang Zhina, and quickly went hunting for novelties in the underground garage.
"I often hear that there are thousand-year ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Polygonatum japonica. I wonder if they exist here?" Liu Shu's mind wandered around, searching carefully for these legendary things that she wanted to see.
Liu Xu said: "It would be best if you can encounter the human-shaped Shouwu. It is a holy product for health preservation. Of course, even if you can't encounter it, it is not in vain."
Next, they walked around and saw no human-shaped Shouwu here.
This situation was already expected by them. Polygonum multiflorum is one of the four legendary grasses, along with ginseng, polygonatum and ganoderma.
In Chinese fairy novels, there are many scenes in which people take the four immortal herbs and become immortals. This also makes many superstitious people pay special attention to these four kinds of medicine.
The human-shaped ginseng and shouwu made the people of China go crazy for them.
A few people walked around for two times and found nothing good. At this time, there were more and more people in the field.
When the speakers in the underground garage rang, the transaction officially began, and only then did Han Peacock know that many of the Chinese medicinal materials here were traded in the form of auctions.
The auction begins and everyone starts to take their seats. Those who are interested in bidding can come forward and get a number plate to use for bidding.
The first batch of items to be auctioned was the batch of wild panax notoginseng that Han Kongque and the others had seen before, with a low price of 100,000.
"We don't seem to be able to use this?" Han Peacock said.
Liu Xu said: "Why can't I use it? Wild Panax notoginseng is a good thing."
"Then take pictures." Han Peacock said with a smile.
LiuXu said: "It depends on the price."
Han Kongque said with a smile: "I don't know how to use it as medicine, but I know how to use it for cooking. Stewed crabs with Panax notoginseng, stewed chicken or ribs with Panax notoginseng fibrous roots, and wine soaked in Panax notoginseng are all good.
s things."
Liuxu gave Han Kongque a white look and said, "As smart as you are, panax notoginseng stewed with crabs is very helpful in clearing away heat and dispersing blood, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation. It can be taken by anyone with bruises, bruises, stasis, swelling and pain."
Stewed chicken or pork ribs with Panax notoginseng root is good for qi and blood, and can treat metrorrhagia, postpartum weakness, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, nourishing yang and strengthening the body. It can also treat headaches, lumbar muscle weakness and other symptoms in the elderly."
Liu Shu looked at the two of them: "Okay, what are you two showing off here? Didn't you see that these are all big names in the traditional Chinese medicine industry in the Magic City?"
Han Kongque and the others did not bid on this kind of ordinary medicinal material. Moreover, Zhang Shi, the son of the sage Zhang, bid on behalf of Han Kongque, the swashbuckling miracle doctor hospital.
Han Kongque had already agreed in advance that they would buy the Chinese medicinal materials they were interested in no matter how high the price was.
Therefore, a batch of Panax notoginseng priced at 100,000 yuan was pushed to 280,000 yuan before being sold. This made the auctioneer extremely happy. He did not expect that this would be a good jackpot from the beginning.
Everyone here is an expert, and they all know what medicinal materials are worth and how much they cost.
The value of one hundred thousand is already the limit for medicinal wholesalers. The reason why they set this low price is just because they are afraid of losing the sale.
The person who offered the high price was definitely not a wholesaler, so batches of ordinary medicinal materials were the hardest to sell, and it was not easy to sell them at high prices. This was obviously an unexpected surprise.
"Pharmaceutical companies come here to purchase directly? Go check which company it is. Isn't this breaking the rules?" Several wholesalers began to murmur.
"It was done by people from a miracle hospital. They probably need a batch of good medicinal materials and won't pose much of a threat." Soon, the name of the miracle hospital began to be heard.
"Next is a batch of wild Cistanche deserticola, with a low price of 100,000 yuan. If you are interested in bidding, you can start bidding." The quantity and quality of the goods need to be determined by the individual. Anyway, they are all on display outside, so the auctioneer doesn't talk nonsense.
Cistanche deserticola, an endangered plant, is known as "desert ginseng" and has extremely high medicinal and economic value. It is a precious traditional Chinese medicinal material in China, a national second-level protected wild plant, and is included in the "International Wild Plant Protection"
Directory".
This batch of Cistanche deserticola is only about 500 kilograms, and the wild Cistanche deserticola on the market only costs more than 100 yuan per kilogram, but it can be doubled here. This is of course because of the quantity. Now the domestic control of illegal digging of Cistanche deserticola is becoming more and more intense.
The bigger it gets, the higher the price will definitely be.
"Five hundred thousand." Zhang Shi was the first to speak, but as soon as he spoke, many people were immediately scared away.
“This hospital is very generous!”
"It's really unlucky. This is a hospital that has just opened. It will definitely need a large amount of medicinal materials to be stored in the warehouse."
"Fifty thousand yuan, there won't be much profit from the photo."
"They are hospitals, not second-rate dealers like us. They will still make profits."
"Why don't those Chinese medicine halls take action? Those old guys can't bear it, right?"
"Those are foxes that have been around for thousands of years, and they have all the goods in their hands, but this stupid young man doesn't know how far he can go. There is no need to carry them here. This can only give the auctioneer an advantage."
"Six hundred thousand." Just when these people thought that no one would bid again, a young woman said.
"Tongjitang, they actually took action."
"Cistanche deserticola is a good thing. They don't have to worry about selling it if they have it."
“It’s still a century-old brand that has the confidence.”
"Eight hundred thousand." Zhang Shi increased the price again.
The woman looked at the old man beside him, and the old man shook his head.
Zhang Shi succeeded in bidding again, but this time the atmosphere in the venue was completely different.
A batch of Cistanche deserticola that was originally worth only 50,000 yuan has now been sold to 800,000 yuan, a full increase of 16 times. What is going on?
In the past two years, there have been more and more reports about the price increase of Chinese herbal medicines. When analyzing the reasons for the price increase, in addition to business speculation and God's interference, there is another factor that cannot be ignored: wild resources are becoming less and less.
During the "golden season" for the growth of Cistanche deserticola, the "desert ginseng" in Xinjiang, some people, driven by economic interests, go deep into the hinterland of the desert to dig wildly, endangering the ecological environment of Junger Basin and other places.
According to the introduction of the local police station, in April and May every year, in Xinjiang, Junggar, Gar, and around the Tarim Basin, some criminals, driven by economic interests, frantically dig up Cistanche deserticola.
After diggers dig up Cistanche deserticola, the interdependent wind-proof plants will die due to their exposed roots and lack of water.
To paraphrase the famous slogan of a public welfare organization that protects wildlife: No buying and selling, no killing.
If there was no trade in medicinal materials and no people’s extreme desire for wild and precious medicinal materials, how could criminals take such desperate risks?
Although it is said that, the more strictly controlled something is, the higher the price will be, and the higher the price, the more people will steal it. This is a vicious circle, and it will be banned again and again.
And then, as if everyone's fears were confirmed, a batch of Cordyceps, originally worth half a million, was once again sold at a sky-high price. Finally, it was snapped up by Zhang Shi from the Miracle Medical Hospital for three million.
"Even if the things here are good, there's no need to be so cruel, right?"
"They must be new to the industry. They have no other purchasing channels. They are unlucky today. I hope they don't use too many Chinese medicinal materials."
"Cordyceps and Cistanche deserticola are the same! Such good things are becoming increasingly rare, so the price is not outrageous."
"Isn't this because we are being targeted by hot money? If we are targeted by those lunatics, our life will be difficult in the future."
The businessmen here are all experts. No one knows better than them about the things in the Chinese medicinal materials market, but they are powerless. Although most people here are considered big names in the Chinese medicinal materials industry, compared with those domestic capital giants
, they are just small fishes and rotten shrimps.
Cordyceps is facing similar problems as Cistanche deserticola.
