Chapter 1522 Reversal of Status
Before this…
Facing pressure from Fang Qiu, the Chinese Medicine markets nationwide were in the dumps. First, the Three Billion Foundation strictly regulated the quality of medicinal herbs. As such, the major medicine merchants in the Chinese medicinal herb market had to follow the trend and start selling qualified medicinal herbs. They would divide all the medicinal herbs into different levels according to the requirements.
In addition, these indigenous medicinal herbs cultivated by the Three Billion Foundation were highly effective at low prices. Thus, when they quickly occupied the market, almost all the traders in the distributing centers of Chinese medicinal herbs were forced to lower their prices.
Ultimately, the prices even dropped to one-tenth of the original prices.
This situation…
It caused a lengthy online discussion.
No one had expected Fang Qiu to fulfill his seemingly unrealistic promise.
He indeed decreased the prices of Chinese medicinal herbs by ten times!
Fang Qiu made it.
On the internet…
Many netizens had been following Fang Qiu since he revealed his great ambition to the public. As expected, they noticed these Chinese merchants of Chinese medicinal herbs lowered their prices. Then, they began to discuss this issue on a small scale.
Everyone thought that this matter would become a trending topic.
After all, when Fang Qiu first announced the news, it attracted a lot of attention all over the country.
But against all their expectations…
As soon as the news began to spread, the new business of medicated diets suddenly thrived.
As the medicated diet became popular, all the major catering companies in Huaxia immediately began to order large quantities of super-grade and first-grade medicinal herbs. For a time, the merchants of Chinese medicinal herbs received a lot of orders.
Although Fang Qiu suppressed the prices of Chinese medicinal herbs, it was already a great surprise for them to receive so many orders.
The Renyi Group owned the brand of medicated diets. The news had long announced that Fang Qiu was the Chinese Medicine strategic consultant of the Renyi Group’s medicated diet restaurant.
The success of the medicated diet was largely related to Fang Qiu.
“It seems the Renyi Group has left us a way out.”
“Yes, the popularity of the medicated diets has greatly promoted our Chinese medicinal herb market.”
“The price has been reduced by ten times. Our business can hardly survive if we don’t get some orders.”
“Fang Qiu has been squeezing medicinal herb merchants like us. But unlike in the past, he doesn’t block all our roads to survive. He leaves us a way out. Fang Qiu is not merciless!”
“Yes. Without the success of medicated diets, our business of Chinese medicinal herbs could hardly survive.”
These wholesalers of Chinese medicinal herbs were very excited.
In the meantime…
In their hearts, their hatred toward Fang QIu reduced a lot.
Although Fang Qiu had launched a crackdown on their business and the prices of Chinese medicinal herbs, he brought them another way to profit. Notably, it was a very formal way of making big money.
This result was undoubtedly the best for them.
Most critically…
But most of all, these medicine dealers gradually felt grateful to Fang Qiu for one thing — these large orders of medicinal herbs required only fresh products, which shouldn’t be processed. Besides, only high-quality herbs were needed.
In this case…
Their purchasing time would be largely shortened. Thus, they saved time and reduced costs. When buying these medicinal herbs, they didn’t have to spend money processing them.
In this lucrative business, they could make money with little effort.
Soon…
The medicated diet went popular, and many top catering groups joined the business. Before long, a new and healthy trend formed in the entire Chinese medicinal herb market.
Everyone turned to pursue formal and qualified medicinal herbs. No one would sell shoddy medicinal herbs as super-grade and first-grade medicinal herbs.
After all, the market of Chinese medicinal herbs was in full swing now. Any traders could sign with large firms to attain a long-term supply and purchase agreement of qualified medicinal herbs.
Once their goods were found to be inferior, they would lose the chance of obtaining large orders.
And most importantly…
These fresh medicinal herbs were brought to make medicated diets. If customers ate those inferior herbs and fell ill, they would have to bear legal responsibility!
For various reasons, merchants of medicinal herbs gradually began to develop in a good direction.
In Jiangzhe Province…
In the Chinese medicinal herb market…
Upon receiving the orders from the major catering groups, many herb dealers immediately rushed to the countryside. They were determined to purchase super-grade medicinal herbs before others.
Huang Jianxing was a very well-known medicine dealer in Jiangzhe Province.
Because of his widespread fame…
He received a large number of orders from several major catering companies as soon as the medicated diet became popular.
He had connections with a lot of herb farmers.
He knew herb farmers cultivating various grades of medicinal herbs.
In the past, other herb traders usually were unwilling to purchase from farmers growing super-grade herbs. However, he knew these herb farmers well.
Now…
The first time he received the order…
Huang Jianxing immediately rushed to the nearest herb farmer who specialized in growing super-grade medicinal herbs. This herb farmer had once been one of his targets.
This herb farmer planted the root of herbaceous peony, a local indigenous medicinal herb. Its planting field was vast — it covered almost 133 acres of land.
In the past…
He had united other herb traders and prevented them from buying the root of herbaceous peony planted by this herb farmer. His purpose was to lower the price so that they could purchase the root of herbaceous peony at a cheaper price.
But now, he didn’t dare to do anything to push down the price.
After all, the prices offered by the herb farmers were already much lower than wholesale and selling prices. Moreover, there was a great demand for the root of herbaceous peony in the medicated diet.
In this case…
Speed was all that mattered.
Whoever found the herb farmer and signed the purchase agreement would benefit significantly!
He drove the car.
His car whizzed past. After over an hour, Huang Jianxing finally arrived at the house of the herb farmer in the countryside.
“Hi, Mr. Liu.”
Huang Jianxing saw the herb farmer and was sure the other dealers had not arrived yet. Immediately, he walked over with a smile. After taking a pack of cigarettes worth 100 yuan from his trouser pocket, he picked up one cigarette and handed it over.
“Boss Huang?”
In the cultivation field of medicinal herbs, a slightly bronzed middle-aged man in a vest glanced at Huang Jianxing in surprise. Then, flattered, the man took the cigarette from his hand and said, “Why are you here?”
“Let’s talk about your root of herbaceous peony.”
Huang Jianxing smiled and said.
“Please don’t.”
With a wry smile, the herb farmer quickly waved his hand and said, “About my herbs, I’m sorry I can’t lower their price. If no one comes to buy them, I’ll spend some money and transport them to the Renyi Group in the city. The company offers a purchasing price higher than yours.”
“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse me!”
Hearing this, Huang Jianxing hurriedly shook his head and said, “How about this? I’ll buy your herbs at the market price the Renyi Group offers. Besides, I’ll sign a ten-year supply agreement with you. As long as the quality of your herbs doesn’t decline, I’ll buy your products every year according to the market price set by the Renyi Group. What do you think?”
“Gee?”
The herb farmer was stunned. He looked at Huang Jianxing in great surprise and asked, “Boss Huang, there’s something wrong with you today. Why do you suddenly change your attitude?”
“Oh, what makes you think so? It’s not easy to do business about Chinese medicinal herbs now.”
Huang Jianxing shook his head and said, “You grow such a large tract of medicinal herbs. I’m just worried that you can’t sell all of them. I can’t bear to do nothing to help you.”
“I don’t think I can’t sell them.”
The herb farmer shook his head with a smile and said, “Both the Three Billion Foundation and the Renyi Group are willing to buy my medicinal herbs. If I want, I can send my herbs to them. I’m not afraid I can’t sell my goods.”
“But you will have to send them over. It will be a waste of time to go back and forth. I’ll collect your herbs at the price they offer. I’ll hire some people to transport these herbs. Beyond that, you don’t need to process the medicinal herbs. This is a good thing for you.”
Huang Jianxing tried to persuade him.
The herb farmer heard that.
He felt even more surprised. In the past, they had to beg these herb traders to take their products. But since the Renyi Group and the Three Billion Foundation started their business in Chinese medicinal herbs, they were no longer in such an inferior position.
But surprisingly…
In the blink, these herb dealers came to him and compromised.
“Tell me, what’s going on exactly? If you don’t make it clear, I won’t sell my herbs.”
The herb farmer was not stupid and immediately asked.
“Well, it’s nothing special. Recently, the medicated diet has become popular in the city. Fresh medicinal herbs are bought as cooking ingredients. Now many restaurants are collecting fresh medicinal herbs.”
Huang Jianxing knew he couldn’t hide the truth. He would leave a bad impression on him if he lied about this. Therefore, he told the truth.
“So that’s how it is.”
The herb farmer understood and immediately smiled. “I won’t take advantage of the situation to make unreasonable demands. As long as you buy my herbs at fair prices, I’ll sign the contract with you, but the premise is that you are responsible for transporting the medicinal herbs and paying the transportation expenses!”
“No problem.”
Huang Jianxing immediately nodded in agreement and said, “Nice to work with you!”
Similar things like this…
They were simultaneously happening in the producing areas of indigenous medicinal herbs throughout the country.
That was not all.
As Chinese medicinal herbs gained popularity…
The recruitment of Chinese Medicine doctors also began to boom.
After all…
Compared with Chinese medicinal herbs, these medicated diet restaurants were in more urgent need of Chinese Medicine doctors. They should know how to handle customers with their excellent medical skills. If they didn’t even know how to match different herbs in medicated diet, customers might suffer from health problems. Then, these restaurants would be doomed!
Given such a situation…
In the past, graduates of these TCM colleges and the Departments of Chinese Medicine usually had no way out. But with this popular trend, they became popular in the human resource market.
They no longer had to worry about being unable to find a job.
Now, Chinese Medicine doctors were needed in many places. This was an excellent opportunity for those graduates to display their capabilities.
In the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine…
A new round of recruitment activities began in March, not long after the Lunar New Year.
The university held recruitment activities and welcomed companies to recruit students.
As a result…
As soon as this news was announced…
Lots of catering companies signed up for it.
On the day of the job fair, all the major catering companies came to the playground of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. They set up their recruiting booths, hung up signboards of their companies, and clearly stated the recruitment requirements. Then, they began to look for outstanding Chinese Medicine students with passion.
Enlightened by the medicated diet restaurant, these companies preferred graduates with a master’s degree in Chinese Medicine. Also, they offered even more attractive terms to those with a doctor’s degree. Anyway, they tried various means to recruit talented people!
Notably…
In the past, it was the companies that screened those students. But this time, as long as those students signed up, they could get the job. This unusual situation dumbfounded school leaders!
