Chapter 32
Since there are too many pharmacies who want to join the agency sales agency, Wu Ming originally planned to complete the distribution plan in one week, so he had to delay for nearly a week.
Half a month later, Wu Mingdongtang successfully waved to more than 100 pharmacies with agency sales cooperation within the city. Wu Ming searched with map software and found that there were only more than 400 pharmacies in the city.
In other words, within the city, including surrounding counties and towns, more than a quarter of pharmacies operate Wuming Chinese Medicine Hall products.
When the goods store was out, the requirements for productivity were naturally increased. It turned out that Wang Xianglian and the others had a total of seven female workers, and they worked six days a week, which basically met the needs of the town.
But now, seventeen female workers, even Sundays are spent on overtime when all the conditions are met, but they are still in short supply.
Wu Ming knew that it was time to introduce some pharmaceutical machinery.
Nowadays, these female workers basically use purely handmade techniques to make these medicines, and of course they cannot compare with machines. The reason why they did not introduce machines before was because of the shortage of funds, and the other was because they didn’t know how their medicinal materials were sold, and they were worried about spending money.
Now that the sales of drugs have been confirmed to be so good, of course, it is necessary to expand the production scale.
After thinking about it, Wu Ming searched for some pharmaceutical machinery dealers online, and now these dealers are basically in the provincial capital. After thinking about it, Wu Ming decided to go to the provincial capital in person and introduce a quasi-production line-level pharmaceutical machinery line.
After making up his mind, Wu Ming told Huang Xiaomao and Zhang Yuanbao what he thought. Both of them agreed with each other: "Go, why don't you go? This money should be spent. Now our medicine is basically just from the factory, and someone is waiting outside to get the goods. The firepower is still open and it cannot meet the demand. Why not make money? "
Wu Ming nodded: "Then I decided to spend three days to go to the provincial capital. In the past few days, I would like to ask you two for the matter of the Chinese Medicine Hall."
After saying this, Huang Xiaomao and Zhang Yuanbao both laughed a little embarrassedly, and Wu Ming was stunned: "What? Do you want to say something?"
Huang Xiaomao said: "Yes, Wu Ming, think about it, you are the backbone of the Chinese Medicine Hall. Basically, those who come here are looking for you for medical treatment. Zhang Yuanbao and I can only take medicine for others, so once you leave, it doesn't make sense for us to stay, right?"
Zhang Yuanbao also said, "Yes, Wu Ming, I think it's really not possible, let's just close the business for three days. We will accompany you. Think about it, you are going to buy machines and negotiate prices with people. If we have more people, we will look imposing, right?"
Wu Ming burst out laughing: "You two guys, if you want to go to the provincial capital, just say you go to the provincial capital. Go around such a big circle, well... Then, then you will be closed for three days. We will place the remaining patients tomorrow and leave the morning after tomorrow."
The next day, Wu Ming's Chinese Medicine Hall closed the notice of closing, and as expected, more patients came to queue up. Wu Ming was busy until at ** o'clock in the evening and took a breath.
After packing up, the three of them officially left early the next morning. They rode their motorcycles to the county bus station. After saving the car, they took a bus to the provincial capital.
The provincial capital is about 200 kilometers away from Panlong Town. The bus drove on the highway for two hours before reaching the provincial capital. After three people got off the bus, Wu Ming took a taxi and went straight to a pharmaceutical machinery sales department according to the address he had searched before.
This place is an office building in the prosperous business district of the provincial capital. Looking at the bright and visible floors in the office building, clean glass that is as clean as there is a dazzling chandeliers hanging on the dome, the three of them walked in timidly like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
When I was taking the elevator, there was a small episode. The three of them were queuing up, but when the three of them had just gotten up, the elevator suddenly prompted to carry it, and there were still a few people dressed in suits and ties at the elevator door that had not yet come in.
At this time, someone said, "Several, our company will be open soon. You are from the Engineering Department. Why don't you do freight elevators and help me."
Zhang Yuanbao didn't hear what others meant, but Huang Xiaomao had seen some of the world, and he was dissatisfied with hearing them say this: "What? When we look like migrant workers, I feel that we are not even qualified to take the elevator? I tell you that we are here to discuss business too! You should do whatever you should do!"
At this time, the person's colleague frowned: "Okay, you are still talking about business like this. All customers have to convince you and scare you away. Don't make trouble, hurry up, or I'll call the security guard!"
The man who was speaking just now grabbed his colleague: "Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, sorry, then you guys go up first."
When the elevator door was closed, Huang Xiaomao was still angry: "Damn, only those who are not capable of discussing business have to wear adult-like appearances to please customers. Damn I am the customer, who do I need to please?"
Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "We are indeed customers today, but we may also need to meet customers in the future. To be honest, our three brothers are wearing a little bit of that. Let's do it. After we get it done later, the three of us will go to the mall together and get a few decent outfits back, so as not to talk to people about business in the future and be regarded as migrant workers."
The elevator arrived at their floor, and the three of them got off the elevator and walked into a large office. At this time, the front desk lady browned for a week: "Our air conditioner was reported to be repaired last week. Why are you here now? Why don't you even bring tools? Could it be that you took a look at it again and then left."
Wu Ming was grateful to Huang Xiaomao and Zhang Yuanbao, worried that they would quarrel with him: "Miss, I'm sorry, we are not a repairman. I have called before and we are here to inspect this pharmaceutical machinery."
The front desk lady was stunned: "Are you Mr. Wu Ming and Wu?"
Wu Ming smiled and nodded: "It's right."
The lady looked embarrassed: "I'm so embarrassed, Mr. Wu, please come with me."
The front desk lady took Wu Ming and the others to a reception room, took out a few paper cups from the water dispenser next to it, and poured water for the three of them: "Sorry, our sales director is responsible for this matter. They have now gone downstairs of the company, but the elevator is a bit crowded, so they should have come up soon."
I have to say that when the front desk lady treated people seriously, she looked quite sincere. Wu Ming nodded with a smile. The front desk lady bent apologetically and turned around and walked out.
Huang Xiaomao lowered her voice and looked vulgar: "Wow, the white-collar lady's skirt here is so short. Look at her high heels, the heels are at least ten centimeters, and she looks good when worn."
Wu Ming slapped Huang Xiaomao on the head: "Be honest, we are here to discuss business, don't look like a hooligan."
As he was speaking, he heard someone coming in outside the door. The front desk lady was about to return: "Hello, Mr. Wu, our Director Guo and the others are back."
Wu Ming stood up and several people on the other side walked in. After meeting, they were stunned. The man in suit who had a good temper and spoke politely just now turned out to be their sales director Guo Zizheng.
When Guo Zizheng saw Wu Ming, he laughed and sounded very cheerful: "Don't be surprised by today's misunderstanding."
As he said that, Guo Zizheng reached out to shake hands with Wu Ming.
Wu Ming also smiled and said, "If there is no place, we are used to opening factories in small places. We are used to being unkempt. When we come to places like provincial capital, we must be a little out of place. Today, Director Guo reminded us that we have to pay attention to the instrument when we look back."
This is also a smile to snatch your grudges. Guo Zizheng said: "I have a general understanding of your needs. I have sorted out the several models recommended for you. These are information documents. Please check it out."
Wu Ming took the documents for a while and said, "I looked at them and basically the function can meet our needs, but I have two problems."
Guo Zizheng nodded: "Please say it."
"First, any machine will always be running-in or damaged. Is the machine you sell to us warranty? If there is a problem after the warranty period has passed, do I need to train the maintenance personnel myself, or..."
Guo Zizheng said: "You have considered it very detailed. To be honest, generally speaking, the production habit of pharmaceutical factories is that people stop machines, so whether they are domestic or imported, it is normal for machines to have some minor problems in the future. So I suggest you hire a full-time employee with relevant mechanical knowledge background to be responsible for machinery maintenance."
"Okay, there is no roundabout way, I like it." Wu Ming said: "The second question is of course the price. I just saw that the document given to me by Director Guo, there is a price.
A powder preparation equipment, a decoction mixer, a set of static extraction cans, and a packaging and sealing machine. The total price of these things is over 600,000 yuan."
Guo Zizheng nodded: "That's right, you get what you pay for. These things are indeed 600,000 yuan. I, Guo Zizheng, can assure you of this."
Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "But we don't have that much money now. I wonder if Director Guo can help you think of a solution?"
Guo Zizheng was stunned: "If you say that... I can give you a certain discount, but the discount will definitely not be too strong. We are not a restaurant for promotion. I like you, too, are business people. The so-called high-quality and low-priced things do not exist at all. Good quality and good prices must be high. Mr. Wu should be very clear about this principle."
Wu Ming laughed: "I understand the truth, but why is this machine so expensive?"
Guo Zizheng was stunned for a moment. Today he met an expert who pretended to be crazy and stupid. Guo Zizheng smiled: "Okay, Mr. Wu, we don't need to go around the corner. I will give you 10% off for this batch of machines at most, so there is no more."
Wu Ming nodded: "Yes, but I have a request."
Guo Zizheng frowned and thought to himself that this guy didn't see through it like a migrant worker, but he really didn't dare to underestimate his bargaining skills.
"Okay, Mr. Wu, please say, if it is not beyond my ability, I will try my best to meet your requirements." Guo Zizheng said.
