Besides, the first wealthy businessman to buy a panacea from Liu Hai was Wang Juren, who was doing silk trading in Shanghai.
This Wang Juren was also considered a child prodigy when he was a child. He won the first prize in succession, scholar and scholar, but failed in the final test, but failed again and again.
So the king became disheartened and gave up writing and turned to business.
Not to mention, this giant Wang really has some business talent. Since taking over the family's grocery store in Shanghai, he has used his advantage of knowing some foreign languages to shuttle back and forth among foreigners.
In the end, I somehow got in touch with an Englishman and took over the Englishman's business of buying silk in the Qing Dynasty.
This has made the Wang family prosperous. In the past seven or eight years, the Wang family has earned at least 100,000 taels of silver by buying and selling silk.
Originally, Wang Juren's father disliked him when he saw him doing business. However, as Wang Juren's wealth increased, his father gradually changed his attitude. It can be seen that money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.
Originally, he went to Liu Hai's opening ceremony today because he was famous. This was also to please Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Liangjiang behind him, because his business was mainly to purchase silk in the Liangjiang area. If he offended Zeng Guoquan, as long as Zeng Guoquan gave him a slight hint, he could
Make him bankrupt.
Before the banquet, Ta knew that Mr. Liu Hai was selling medicine, so he was a little disdainful of him.
Because almost all drug stores operating in the Qing Dynasty were century-old stores, and they had accumulated a reputation through the efforts of generations of people, which makes people believe it.
After all, this medicine is not a joke. If it fails, people will die. When people buy medicine, they naturally look for doctors who they are familiar with and have good reputations.
If someone like Liu Hai breaks in rashly, he will definitely lose everything in the future.
But since he came to attend the banquet, he naturally wanted to give Liu Hai a thumbs up. If he could get Mr. Liu to say a few nice words in front of the Governor of Liangjiang, then his future business would be smooth.
Therefore, this talented person from the royal bureau took the lead and told Liu Hai that he wanted to buy 20 bottles of the panacea. In fact, he did not think that the panacea was of any use. After taking it home, he threw it aside and stopped paying attention to it.
Although Wang Juren no longer paid attention, his wife did.
Mrs. Lin is a bit stingy. She heard that her husband bought 20 bottles of medicine for 60 taels of silver. Naturally, she was very distressed. For 60 taels of silver, wouldn't it be nice to buy sea cucumbers? Wouldn't it be nice to buy shark's fins?
Although Mrs. Lin is a little resentful that the master spends money carelessly, since the things have been bought, they cannot just keep them. After all, they are valuable.
So Mrs. Lin secretly put all these panacea pills into her warehouse.
It was also a coincidence that within seven or eight days, suddenly one day, someone from her mother's family came to inform her that Mrs. Lin's father was seriously ill and was not going to die soon, and wanted her to go back and see her one last time.
Mrs. Lin became anxious as soon as she heard this. She hurriedly packed her luggage, informed Wang Juren, and hurriedly took a carriage back to the countryside of Shanghai to visit her old father.
When Mrs. Lin returned home and entered the house, she found her mother weeping secretly there, and her brothers also sighing there.
So Mrs. Lin quickly asked her mother how her father was doing.
Her mother said while weeping: "Now the master is extremely ill and can hardly breathe. Doctor Wang in the town has seen him several times and is at his wits' end. He has asked the family to prepare for the funeral."
Mrs. Lin burst into tears as soon as she heard this, and her brothers could only come forward to persuade her, saying that life and death were determined by fate and wealth, so that her sister should not worry too much.
Mrs. Lin cried for a while, wiped away her tears, and went into the bedroom to see how her father was doing.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, she smelled a strong smell of medicine that lingered for a long time. Mrs. Lin came to the bed and was immediately startled when she saw her father.
You must know that Mrs. Lin's father was a fat man in the past, but now he is only skinny and skinny.
Landlord Lin is now lying on the bed, breathing desperately with his mouth open. Just like this, he still feels out of breath, and there is only a little maid waiting in front of his bed.
Mrs. Lin felt even more sad when she saw her father's miserable condition, but she was helpless.
Mrs. Lin left her father's bedroom and came back to the living room to discuss her father's funeral arrangements with her mother and several brothers.
These brothers have now begun to fight for the family property. When Mr. Lin was still able to speak, he did not leave a will, so now the brothers are almost fighting over the property.
Mrs. Lin saw that this was not the solution, at least let her father leave a message, and then she remembered the 20 bottles of panacea in the warehouse.
Mrs. Lin thought for a while and said to her mother beside her: "My husband went to a banquet hosted by the son-in-law of Mr. Zeng, the governor of Liangjiang, and got several bottles of panacea, saying that this medicine can cure all diseases. But my husband didn't believe it.
So I threw it in the warehouse, mother, could you please bring a few bottles and let father try it."
Mrs. Lin's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this. It was already here. At this time, she was already in a hurry to seek medical treatment. As long as there was an explanation, she would take any medicine.
"Then why don't you send someone to get it? After all, the medicine was sold by the son-in-law of the Governor of Liangjiang. It won't harm anyone anyway."
Mrs. Lin thought that this was also the case, so she hurriedly ordered her personal maid to go back to the house in a carriage to get the panacea.
That night, the maid hurried back to the Lin Mansion with five or six bottles of panacea.
Mrs. Lin took the medicine and looked carefully at the all-in-one list. It turned out that there was a piece of paper stuck on the outside of the bottle, which said that one pill in the morning and at night would work.
So Mrs. Lin quickly took out a piece of medicine, gave it to her as a gift, and asked the maid to take it for her father.
In fact, Mrs. Lin now treats this dead horse as a living horse doctor, and does not have much hope for this medicine.
As a result, when he woke up at home the next day, the maid came to report that the master's fever had gone away.
Mrs. Lin rushed to her father's room as soon as she heard this. She only saw her father. Although he was still breathing heavily, his complexion was much better. He was drinking millet porridge with his mother serving him.
Mr. Lin saw his daughter coming and showed a forced smile on his face.
When Mrs. Lin saw this scene, she immediately understood that the panacea she took yesterday seemed to be working.
So I quickly took out the bottle of panacea that I opened yesterday, took another piece, and asked my father to take it.
Just like that, after three days, Mr. Lin was able to get out of bed and walk.
At this time, the whole family was naturally overjoyed, especially Mrs. Lin, who was convinced of this panacea. What she wanted to do now was to buy a few more bottles and put them at her parents' house, just in case someone else got sick again.
People who are suffering from disasters can also use this medicine to save their lives.
After Mr. Lin was able to speak, he had a long conversation with his daughter and found out that the elixir that saved his life was a panacea.
He was very curious about this medicine. In the novel, he had heard that a pill could cure all diseases, but he had never seen it in reality.
After another seven or eight days, Mr. Lin was able to walk on the street.
This surprised the people in the town. Everyone had heard that Mr. Lin was already terminally ill, and even the most famous Doctor Wang had sentenced him to death. How could he be cured after more than ten days?
So some of Mr. Lin's old buddies went up to ask him what was going on.
Mr. Lin is also a talkative person. When others ask him, he immediately starts to show off.
"Hey, I had already prepared a shroud for my current illness, but I didn't know that my precious daughter came back and brought back a medicine called Panacea from Shanghai. As a result, I was cured after just a few days of use."
"This medicine is not something that ordinary people can have. It is the son-in-law of Mr. Zeng, the governor of Liangjiang. It was prepared with the advice of an expert and countless precious medicinal materials. A bottle of ten pills costs three taels of silver."
After Mr. Lin's publicity, everyone nearby knew the name of Panacea.
Naturally, among these people, there will be relatives and friends who have suffered from this disease or that disease, and some have slow results from traditional Chinese medicine, so some people go to Shanghai and Liu Hai's trading company to buy this kind of panacea.
As a result, after using it, the medicine can cure the disease immediately. If only one person has used the panacea and said it is good, then it may be a coincidence. As a result, more and more people say that the panacea can cure the disease.
Is there still a holiday?
Therefore, more and more people are now buying panacea from Liu Hai Company, and Liu Hai can probably sell two to three hundred bottles every day.
And as the name of Panacea spread more and more widely, even foreigners were alarmed.
There is an American, David Ford, who comes to China every year to import raw silk. As a result, he occasionally caught wind and cold at sea this year. When he got off the ship, he could no longer walk. Fortunately, his assistants placed him there.
In a hotel in the concession.
But in this era, Western medicine is not as good as Chinese medicine. This gentleman went to several doctors in the concession, but the treatment was ineffective, and his condition became more and more serious.
Only then did they have to go to those Chinese doctors who were regarded as witch doctors by these civilized people.
However, I invited several famous doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, and they all said that there was nothing that could be done to save me, so I had to prepare for the funeral.
Although David Ford felt uncomfortable all over and was already terminally ill, his mind was still very clear. Because of his clear mind, his desire to survive was very strong.
Once he heard from a Chinese medicine doctor that there was a medicine called Panacea, and he might give it a try.
So he gritted his teeth and asked his assistant to buy a bottle. As soon as he tried it, his condition improved immediately. After taking one bottle of medicine, he felt nothing.
After David Ford recovered from his illness, he suddenly remembered the panacea for his own illness. This medicine was so miraculous that even the Western world, which claims to be a civilized society, had no medicine comparable to it.
David Ford suddenly thought that if he sold this drug to the United States, would it be a business opportunity?
