Chapter 193 Turning Point

"Lao Luo, then I will take my leave first. (Pinyin of bi qi wu)"

Seeing this, Song Shixian got up with an ugly face, and bid farewell to Luo Yunzhong.

Luo Yunzhong repeatedly apologized: "Brother Song, I'm really sorry. What happened this time is because I didn't do a good job. Don't blame me, don't blame me."

Song Shixian just shook his head and sighed, then turned and followed out.

When Ye Chen and the others left the medicine hall, the door of the back room opened, and a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Luo Yunzhong, who seemed to be in his early thirties, walked out.

If Song Shixian was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this middle-aged man was Luo Yunzhong's only son, Luo Tongheng, whom Luo Yunzhong had repeatedly scolded as a rebellious son before.

"Father, Mr. Song probably annoyed our family this time."

Luo Tongheng looked at Ye Chen and the others' distant figures through the window, and said to Luo Yunzhong.

"That can't be helped."

Luo Yunzhong sighed softly, and said: "Not to mention that Miss Dongying offered a sky-high price of 40 million, even if the offer was only a fair price, we have to sell it for the sake of the Chen family who came with her. what!"

"Two ends always offend one end, and the lesser of two evils, I can only say sorry to Lao Song."

"Yes." His son Luo Tongheng nodded in agreement.

After all, although Song Shixian is a well-known Chinese medicine expert nationwide, his reputation in the medical field is higher than that of his father, and his connections are better, especially in the north. can come in handy.

But the Chen family is the number one martial arts family in Jianghuai. There is an innate master in the family, who is a local tyrant, controlling more than half of the medicinal materials business in the entire Yunzhou. Don't look at the Luo family. It is also a local medical family. The local area has also been in business for more than 100 years, and it is also very influential in Yunzhou.

But compared to the Chen family, which is the heir of martial arts, it is obviously inferior. If the Chen family is offended, it will be a problem whether their family's Baizhitang can continue to operate.

In comparison, they were naturally unwilling to offend the Chen family.

It was precisely because of this that they clearly knew that Song Shixian and the others had greeted them first, but they still sold the medicinal materials to the big customer from Japan without even asking.

...

"Mr Ye,

It's all my fault that I don't know people well enough to make such a friend. "Song Shixian chased out from Baizhitang, apologizing to Ye Chen repeatedly with a face of shame.

"Forget it." Ye Chen waved his hand: "I can't blame you for this."

Although this incident annoyed him, it didn't make him vent his anger on others, and he still has some self-cultivation.

Seeing this situation, Song Shixian couldn't help but relax: "It's okay, Mr. Ye, if it doesn't work here, we can go to another pharmacy."

"That's right." Xue'er also chimed in: "If his house is gone, we can go to another house to buy it, and it's not just their family that sells medicine!"

Ye Chen touched Xue'er's head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Xue'er is right, I don't believe that without Zhang Butcher, we have to eat hairy pigs."

In fact, Song Shixian, as a well-known Chinese medicine doctor in the country, has a wide network of contacts, especially in the medical industry. He knows almost all the bosses of several time-honored pharmacies in Yunzhou, but he is not as good as Luo Yunzhong in terms of relationship.

Soon several people came to another big medicine hall which was not smaller than Baizhitang.

After meeting with the boss, when Song Shixian told Ye Chen that he wanted to purchase rare medicinal materials with a long history, the boss also frowned.

"This..." The boss hesitated for a moment, and said with a embarrassed expression: "Doctor Song, to be honest, if you came here a few days ago, there were still two batches of medicinal herbs in the small shop, but now they are really gone. .”

"Not anymore?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but look at Song Shixian, is there such a coincidence?

Song Shixian, acting as the spokesperson, immediately asked: "Boss, what's going on, did it just happen to be bought by someone?"

"Doctor Song, I really let you guess."

The boss explained with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, a lady from Dongying happened to come to Yunzhou recently and bought almost all the medicinal materials collected in various time-honored brands in Yunzhou at high prices, so don't say yes now." In my house, even if we searched all the pharmacies in Yunzhou, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a medicinal material that has been cooked for more than a hundred years."

"what?"

Song Shixian couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "Who is it, such a big deal?"

You must know that the time-honored medicine halls in Yunzhou are not too many, and they are not too few. There are always seven or eight.

Like this time-honored brand, almost every store will store some precious medicinal materials that have been around for a long time, so as to show the profound heritage of their own store. Together, the number of medicinal materials is not small.

Moreover, the price of this kind of precious medicinal material is very exaggerated. You can imagine that Baizhitang's 800-year-old Polygonum Polygoni Multiflori was not sold for tens of millions of bids.

How much financial resources would it take to wipe out all the precious medicinal materials in all the medicine halls in Yunzhou in one go? One hundred million or several hundred million?

"It is said that she is a lady from a big family in Dongpu. I don't know the specific situation."

The boss of the pharmacy shook his head and said.

"Is there no pharmacy that keeps the medicinal materials unsold?" Song Shixian asked unwillingly.

"Actually, it's not that no one wants to continue to keep the medicinal herbs in the store, but the price offered by Miss Dongying is really high enough, usually two or three times the premium, and because of the face of the Chen family, everyone sold them all. "

"The face of the Chen family?"

"That's right, Doctor Song, you are not a local, and you may not know enough about the situation in Yunzhou. The Chen family is a well-known martial arts family in Yunzhou, and they also control more than half of the medicinal materials trading business in Yunzhou. If their family comes forward, everyone To save face."

Hearing what the boss said, Ye Chen and the others probably guessed why Baizhitang changed their minds and sold the medicine to others after they had said hello in advance. It turned out to be because of this.

Seeing this, Song Shixian couldn't help looking at Ye Chen in embarrassment.

Ye Chen couldn't help frowning.

He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky this time.

"Could it be that in such a huge Yunzhou, you can't even buy a piece of old medicinal materials?"

"It's not that there are things I really want to say." After a little hesitation, he looked at Song Shixian and said, "Doctor Song, I wonder if you've heard of the 'Shen Nong Pincao Association'?"

"Huh?" Song Shixian snorted, "You're talking about the rumored underground precious medicinal herbs auction?"

"That's right, this is it."

Seeing that Song Shixian had indeed heard of it, the boss's face was obviously relieved, and he continued: "The 'Shen Nong Pincao Fair' is held every year in the four major medicine cities in China. This year it happens to be our turn in Yunzhou."

"Many of the auctions at the meeting are precious and rare wild Chinese medicinal materials collected from drug farmers and herbal pickers all over the country. Herbs with a year of hundreds or even thousands of years have appeared before. If Dr. Song and this gentleman really If you want to buy rare medicinal materials, you might as well go to the 'Shen Nong Herb Fair'."
