Chapter 6: The Wang Family Pharmacy
I have only about fifty left on me. However, I can still go and refine more," Zhang He said as he took out a bottle containing the Five Poisons Pearls he had refined for the first time. In fact, there weren't many, totaling only around eighty. After giving them to his mother to help eliminate the toxins in her body, Zhang He felt that it was sufficient
He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, among those who were bitten this time, many are civilians. They probably cannot afford such an expensive remedy. At that time, I can take out a portion and hope that you can sell it to those civilians in an appropriate manner. What do you think?"
I was momentarily blinded by foolishness, and I realize my mistake; I bow to you in apology. Manager Liu bowed repeatedly.
"You at Biyuan Pavilion, bullying and dominating the market, is this how you treat your guests?" The young man in the carriage shouted at Manager Liu, then turned to Zhang He, bowed respectfully, and said, "Wang Pengyu thanks the benefactor for the life-saving grace received some time ago."
After Wang Pengyu candidly expressed his thoughts, he eagerly looked at Zhang He
"Little brother, I am here to help you," Azan immediately explained upon seeing Zhang He's reaction
"Beauty and skincare, detoxification... Sir, the name of this Five Poison Pearl is not very pleasant. Could we change it to something else?" Wang Pengyu pondered for a moment and asked.
This is the deposit for this batch of Five Poisons Pearls. Wang Pengyu felt a bit embarrassed, stating, "Let’s calculate it based on the market price of the Revitalizing Pill for now. Once sales begin, the price of the Five Poisons Pearls will definitely increase, and the price will be even higher at that time"
... ...
In the back, Manager Liu saw people following Wang Pengyu, his face turning ashen. He realized that Biyuan Pavilion had lost a significant deal. Because of his greed for small gains, he had caused tremendous losses to Biyuan Pavilion. If the owner found out, he would definitely not let him off lightly
This person actually saved the young master of the Wang family pharmacy? The Wang family pharmacy has always had connections with the pharmacists' association, and in terms of development potential, it is the largest in Mengyin City. With the support of the Wang family, this young man is surely destined for great success
Zhang He knew that he must act immediately to eliminate the remaining three individuals; otherwise, if they regained their senses, he would be in trouble.
Zhang He smiled faintly; he was well-versed in marketing strategies and found this minor issue easily resolvable. He immediately articulated his solution.
At this moment, Acan finally arrived nearby and saw Zhang He skillfully deal with these four individuals, a hint of surprise appearing on his ruddy face
Wang Pengyu was instantly overjoyed. He nodded and said, "Benefactor, then you can wait for my good news. How many Five Poison Pearls do you have now?"
However, as long as Wang Dahei is given some time, he will naturally recover.
Three other individuals rushed over, and upon seeing Wang Dahei subdued, they immediately felt a sense of apprehension towards Zhang He.
However, he is afraid of death
"Manager Liu!" A sinister voice echoed, and Manager Liu felt a hand suddenly grip his shoulder. He immediately shuddered, his face turning pale, and he unexpectedly knelt down.
Do you have any preferred names
Isn't that the young master of the Wang family pharmacy
Esteemed Sir, if you hold our Wang Family Pharmacy in high regard, why not collaborate with us? As for this medicine, our Wang Family Pharmacy can sell it to you without taking a single cent in profit; all proceeds from the sales will belong entirely to you.
Zhang He saw Wang Dahei lying on the ground and felt a sense of relief. Using the method of pulse interception, he forcefully cut off the true energy within Wang Dahei's body, akin to suddenly going astray during cultivation, which naturally would not lead to a favorable outcome
This time, at least 30,000 people have been bitten by poisonous insects, and this number may still be rising. Therefore, the demand for the Five Poison Pearls is significant. Wang Pengyu nodded, "Let these fifty Five Poison Pearls stay here for now. I will make a name for them in a short period of time. By the way, benefactor, besides detoxification, what other effects do the Five Poison Pearls have?"
The people nearby were discussing animatedly, and upon coming together, they immediately turned their eager gazes towards Zhang He. Could this little fellow really cure the poison of the venomous insects
The Wang Family Pharmacy tried many methods, but none were able to break the deadlock. However, now, Wang Pengyu has seen an opportunity
Wang Pengyu is quite sincere! However, this sincerity seems a bit excessive! If a businessman does not make a profit, what can he still be called a businessman? Zhang He immediately felt a sense of doubt in his heart
Zhang He was taken aback, and he nodded: "I cannot let you suffer losses either. How about this, we adopt a cooperative approach; you will use the money obtained from the Five Poison Pearls, and we will split it fifty-fifty."
Then let us draw up a written agreement Wang Pengyu immediately felt invigorated, not expecting the benefactor to be so accommodating. He quickly fetched paper and pen, drafted the terms, and after Zhang He reviewed them and confirmed there were no issues, both parties signed their names.
Zhang He understood that this time many ordinary people would surely be bitten. Without the Five Poison Pearl, many families would inevitably be destroyed. Considering others as oneself, Zhang He developed the thought of helping them. Money can be earned at any time, but once a person is lost, they are truly gone.
Ah? This... Wang Pengyu was taken aback, scratching his head, "So how should we proceed? I'm afraid that this might lead to dissatisfaction among those major clients..."
After listening to Zhang He's method, Wang Pengyu was taken aback, and his gaze towards Zhang He was instantly filled with fervor
Having spoken, Wang Pengyu made a gesture of invitation to Zhang He and said eagerly: "Esteemed guest, please follow me. Our Wang family pharmacy is not far from here. I kindly ask you to come over and rest for a while."
"Follow this link: https://www.hetushu.com, no need to thank me," Zhang He said lightly. He had already discerned that the young man before him was not an ordinary person.
Zhang He suddenly turned around, and Manager Liu was stealthily sneaking into the Biyuan Pavilion. A trace of anger flashed in Zhang He's eyes
"Esteemed Sir, I have been searching for you these days, wishing to express my gratitude to you once again. Today, you must give me this opportunity," Wang Pengyu said solemnly
"It would be better to directly call it Detoxifying and Nourishing Pill. This way, we can further expand the range of our targeted clientele," Wang Pengyu suggested tentatively
Zhang He sensed someone rushing towards him. He turned around and his expression changed slightly; it was another expert, even more formidable than Wang Dahei!
Zhang He was momentarily taken aback: "This..."
Look at him, full of vigor and vitality, not resembling someone who is ill. Could it be that he was bitten by a venomous insect and has surprisingly recovered
That is called the Five Poisons Pearl. Indeed, this time, I plan to sell this medicine
My lord, you are truly a genius
The people nearby began to point and gesture.
Wang Pengyu coldly laughed at Manager Liu, saying: "Your Bi Yuan Pavilion truly looks down on others. If your owner has any objections to today's matter, let him come to the pharmacy to find me"
"My lord." A voice was heard not far away. Zhang He cautiously took a few steps back and saw a middle-aged man on a horse-drawn carriage waving at him.
Zhang He moved his body and directly confronted them. These three strong men were robust, but none had cultivated true energy. Their original qualities were similar to Zhang He's before he cultivated true energy, so they were naturally no match for him now. In just two or three moves, they were easily dealt with by Zhang He
The greatest efficacy of the Five Poison Pearl is its ability to help detoxify the body. As long as the poison is not extremely potent and capable of causing death within a short period, generally, consuming it will yield detoxifying effects. Additionally, it can assist in eliminating impurities from the body. It can also be said that it should have the effects of purifying the constitution and enhancing beauty.
Suddenly, a noise came from behind.
Just now, Zhang He acted swiftly, instantly resolving the situation involving four individuals, leaving Manager Liu both alarmed and terrified. He was also aware that his actions were indeed very reprehensible, and it would not be excessive for the other party to kill him.
"I was wrong, young brother, I truly made a mistake, please spare my life. I have an elderly mother above me and young children below me." Manager Liu had a face full of pleading, and as Zhang furrowed his brows, he caught a whiff of a foul odor. Looking down, he was shocked to see that the crotch of his pants was actually wet.
Zhang He was surprised to see a merchant who did not seek profit for the first time. However, he now felt a slight fondness for Wang Pengyu. At the very least, the other party was quite honest.
Zhang He felt a stir in his heart, smiled, and saw through Wang Pengyu's intentions. He did not refuse and got onto the carriage together, heading towards the Wang family's pharmacy.
The people nearby, having witnessed this scene, quickly speculated about what had transpired and began to discuss it among themselves
It turned out that the benefactor's surname was Zhang. Wang Pengyu looked at the name Zhang He and had already thought of all the pharmacists in Mengyin City, yet he could not recall any pharmacist with the surname Zhang. After putting away the receipt, Wang Pengyu immediately took out a money pouch and gave it to Zhang He
Upon seeing that Zhang He was actually Wang Pengyu's savior, Liu Zhanggui's expression instantly became even more unpleasant
Wang Family Pharmacy, after understanding the general situation just now, Wang Pengyu looked excited and said: "Is the benefactor going to sell medicine? Could it be the medicine that the benefactor saved me with a few days ago?"
... ...
Upon opening it, a golden gleam shone forth, revealing a total of fifty gold coins inside! This is indeed a substantial sum! Zhang He suddenly felt a bit parched.
"Detoxifying and Cleansing Pill... well, that name is quite good too," Zhang He chuckled. After all, it is just a name, and it is necessary for business; he does not mind.
Seeing Zhang He's confusion, Wang Pengyu smiled and said: "Benefactor, in light of the fact that you saved my life, our Wang Family Pharmacy will provide you with medicine free of charge, which is entirely warranted. To be honest, there are many people in Mengyin City who have been bitten by poisonous insects, and their lives are in imminent danger; everyone is in need of antidotes. People are aware of the existence of the Five Poisons Pearl, and it will undoubtedly become a sensation. If only our Wang Family Pharmacy sells it in Mengyin City, although we may not profit, we can leverage the Five Poisons Pearl to gain significant recognition. To be frank, there are many people in Mengyin City who have been bitten by poisonous insects, and their lives are in imminent danger; everyone is in need of antidotes. People are aware of the existence of the Five Poisons Pearl, and it will undoubtedly become a sensation. If only our Wang Family Pharmacy sells it in Mengyin City, although we may not profit, we can leverage the Five Poisons Pearl to gain significant recognition. Recognition is something that no amount of money can buy!"
Zhang He nodded slightly, looking at the fifty gold coins, feeling an immense sense of joy; I finally have money!
Every family has its own difficulties to contend with. Wang's Pharmacy has a large scale and there are many chain stores in other places. However, in Mengyin City, despite its size, Wang's Pharmacy has never made a name for itself. In the eyes of ordinary people, Wang's Pharmacy is merely a new establishment without any credentials. Coupled with the joint suppression from other pharmacies, Wang's business has consistently been rather bleak, even falling short of stores like Biyuan Pavilion.
Over thirty thousand people were bitten? Zhang He was taken aback.
"When a deal falls through, righteousness remains. You first coveted my Five Poisons Pearl and maliciously drove down the price. Now you even send someone to forcibly seize it!" Zhang He said with a fierce expression, "Do you really think I would let you off the hook?"
Seeing his determination, Zhang He smiled and said, "Alright then, I will only sell my Five Poison Pearls here. If our cooperation goes well, I also have other elixirs that can be sold here as well"
Hmm? This person is the servant who was driving the cart at the foot of the mountain that day. Upon recalling the other party's identity, Zhang He immediately understood that this red-faced man was sent by the owner of the cart.
"My lord, you look down on me!" Wang Pengyu immediately became displeased and said, "As long as you grant our Wang family pharmacy the exclusive right to sell the Five Poison Pearls, it is worth more than any profit! My lord, please do not refuse any longer. If you agree, we can start right away. What do you say?"
Manager Liu was so frightened that he lost control of his bowels on the spot
