Chapter 1208: Talent
Fang Buwei took two bodyguards and sent invitations to the leading figures, and the less important characters were represented by his deputy Hu Shoucheng.
More than 300 invitations were sent out, and more than 40 tables of banquets were prepared for the whole Paramount Gate.
And that's nothing at all.
One of Nakamura's strong suggestions is not to spend a lot of money, as long as it is a newspaper with a slight reputation in Shanghai, the news of the opening of "Qi's Pharmacy" will be published 20 days in advance.
Even the people who attended the event were published in the newspapers.
Among them, such as Akagi Jinyuki, Harada Yoshikuma, and even the Shanghai Military Police Command Osa Takeda Yoshio will attend.
Among the traitors were Zhou Wenrui, director of the Finance Bureau of the Shanghai Special Municipality, Li Dingshi, director of the Construction Bureau, Dong Guangfu, director of the Land Affairs Bureau, and Wang Rusong, director of the Local Taxation Bureau......
Iwai Eiichi sent Yuan Shu as a representative to attend.
As for characters like Iwai Eiichi and Fu Xiaoan, don't think about it.
Unless invited by a figure like Yu Qiaqing, it is possible to attend, and Qi Xi's voice is not enough.
Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun are sensitive and would not have attended such a grand public scene.
However, at the request of Akagi's relatives, the 76th will send Wu Sibao to lead spiritual agents to be responsible for security in the venue.
The scene is not small, and the effect is even more sensational.
There are basically few people in Shanghai who don't know the news of the opening of Qi's Pharmacy on April 18.
The Japanese don't believe that after throwing so many bait, there will be no fish to bite the hook?
Iwai Eiichi personally formulated the plan, which was arranged and implemented by Akagi and Harada Kumayoshi, head of the Central China Dispatch Army's Special Service Department, and laid a net in the area of Yuyuan Road in Jing'an Temple on the day of the opening of Qi's Pharmacy.
Iwai estimated that even if the assassins could not be caught, there would be military agents or underground party organizations who received relevant information, and would send people to spy on the news.
Flies and mosquitoes are all meat......
And if Fang doesn't do it, his happy mouth can't be closed.
It's all giant gold bars that can walk, kill them all, how many points can you earn?
In fact, Fang is not very clear, the Japanese can create such a big momentum for him, and luring the fish to the bait is only secondary.
The ultimate goal is to make Qi's Pharmacy a hit.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
The Japanese believe that they have helped so much, and as the biggest beneficiary, Qi Xisheng will eventually repay the favor.
Nakamura and Akagi have already begun to instill in Fang Buwei the idea of how strong Japan is and how much benefit he will get from cooperating with Japan.
Fang Buwei also showed his yearning for imperial culture in a timely manner.
Both sides are still in the tentative stage, but Fang does not believe that the day when the water will come to fruition will not be far away.
Half a month later, the public concession Yu Qiaqing Road.
This is one of the busiest streets in the Public Concession.
The head office of Qi's Pharmacy, the headquarters of Nanyang Pharmaceutical Company, is located here.
After Fang Buwei first arrived in Shanghai, Yu Qiaqing left him with the two doors of the pharmacy for free.
With two floors, it covers an area of three acres, which is worthy of a small shopping mall in later generations.
The goods have already been paved, and the main products are Baibaodan and Tiger Balm medicine.
Of course, domestic products Ren Dan and Japanese Ren Dan are also indispensable.
Hu Shoucheng was staring at a group of men cleaning, seven or eight carpenters, climbing on the door of the first floor, with a plaque.
A small car drove up and stopped at the door.
Seeing that Fang Buwei got out of the car, Hu Shoucheng hurriedly greeted him.
"Has the Morishita Chamber of Commerce's shipment arrived?" Fang Buwei asked head-on.
"It's here in the morning, and it's directly unloaded to Jinshan Port." Hu Shoucheng replied, "Your Excellency Nakamura's assistant also called and said that we should send someone to settle the balance!" ”
"Just go and get the account done!" Fang Buwei waved his hand casually, "What about the rest of the goods?" ”
"Still on the small dock!" Hu Shoucheng replied, "It should be almost unloaded, and when it gets dark, it will all be put into storage!" ”
"Okay, I see, you're busy!" Fang Buwei waved his hand casually.
Hu Shoucheng didn't doubt it, he just thought that Fang Buwei was a routine inquiry.
Waiting for Fang Buwei to get into the car and drive directly to the north, Hu Shoucheng reacted in hindsight: Fang Buwei went to the small dock to see the goods.
How can such a trivial thing make you worry about it?
Hu Shoucheng muttered.
The better the business, the more Hu Shoucheng can figure out the power of Manager Qi.
This store hasn't opened yet, and it's already a business worth more than 100,000 dollars.
That is, Yu Erjun, Hu Wenhu's main purpose is not to make money, otherwise this business can be multiplied several times.
In the words of later generations, what Nanyao Pharmaceutical Company adopted was a terminal sales model.
All medicines are sold directly by Nanyang Pharma to the lowest level of pharmacies.
There are no second-hand dealers in the middle, and it is not allowed to sell them again, and even the final sales price is also determined by Nanyang Pharmaceutical Company.
The same goes for the part that is sold to the Morishita Chamber of Commerce, which is only allowed to be sold to the Tohoku region.
Fang Buwei believes that in order to win over himself and help himself to take the position as soon as possible, the Japanese will not make trouble in the dark because of small mistakes.
The reason why the business is so good is nothing more than the four words of good quality and low price.
Whether it is Qu's Baibaodan, or Tiger Balm Medicine, and Rendan, the quality is indeed excellent, and it is not difficult to sell.
What's more, Yu Erjun, Hu Wenhu, and even Fang Buwei, the biggest purpose is not to make money, so the price of drugs is very low.
In addition, there are no second-tier dealers to make the difference, and terminal pharmacies do not dare to raise prices without authorization, how can business be bad?
In fact, Nanyang Pharmaceutical Company exists to do charity.
The first is to try to find a way to solve the problem that people can't afford to buy medicine and can't afford to eat medicine, and the second is to support more terminal pharmacies and do their best to find food for the people.
Under these two premises, making money to support the anti-Japanese resistance has become the most secondary.
When we gain a firm foothold in Shanghai, the next step is to open up the next level of markets, such as East China, Central China, and North China.
And these areas have basically become Japanese-occupied areas.
Therefore, having a good relationship with the Japanese is the most important thing for Manager Qi to do.
Manager Qi is good at dancing with long sleeves and is exquisite, and in just a few months, he has been a brother with so many Japanese dignitaries?
is indeed a talent, and has the potential to be a traitor.
If Qi Xisheng becomes a traitor, he will definitely be no worse than the famous ones in Shanghai......
Of course, Hu Shoucheng admires Qi Xisheng, not only this.
He never grasped power, only focused on the general direction, and rarely asked about specific accounts.
But what is surprising is that as long as the account book is in the hands of Manager Qi, Manager Qi can see the problem at a glance, and even in an instant, he can calculate the account to a dime.
