"I heard that you are planning to keep all the antibiotics in China for yourself. I wonder if you can leave this to me?"

Roger looked at Xu Menglong with interest and said with a smile: "Didn't you let you be the shopkeeper of 'Huichuntang' before? You pushed that, why did you come to the door again? How could you be so relaxed all day like now."

"That's different from this. What medicine does Huichuntang sell?? If I really become its shopkeeper, how can I meet people?" As soon as Xu Menglong mentioned Huichuntang, he shook his head like a rattle. "But, this antibiotic x is different. This is a magic medicine. Seeing the terminally ill patients being cured by themselves, there is no need to say the sense of accomplishment."

"I will correct it. It's not that you have cured it, but that you have cured it by antibiotics." Luo Jie corrected it.

"It's all the same, all the same." Xu Menglong smiled embarrassedly and said with a blushing face, "Can you leave this matter to our old Xu? Let the boss give you a correct word."

Roger laughed and said, "It's certainly okay to leave it to you, but you must do your job well. I have to open this pharmacy that sells antibiotic x all over the country."

After hearing Roger's words, the smile on Xu Menglong's face gradually faded and he said seriously: "Owner, I want to ask, what is the price of this antibiotic x... in China?"

Roger thought for a while and said, "In the early stage, there is insufficient production and not much inventory. We can only sell it more expensively. It is 20 yuan per bottle. This price is a bit expensive. Ordinary people may have to bleed heavily if they want to use it, but there is nothing we can do about it. When the production capacity is increased in the future, we will reduce it."

Seeing Xu Menglong's brows frowning, Roger couldn't help feeling nervous. He knew that Lao Xu was a good person. In the past, he often reduced the medical expenses of the poor when he opened a drug shop. Now he sold antibiotic x so expensive that most poor people were discouraged, which might make Lao Xu unhappy.

However, to Roger's surprise, Xu Menglong was not angry because the medicine was sold at a high price, but on the contrary, he thought the medicine was sold at a too cheap price!

"Owner, to put it unpleasantly, your business is really impossible! The medicine is sold too cheaply! Moreover, it sounds good to spread the medicine all over the country, but it is impossible!"

Roger looked at Xu Menglong strangely, said nothing, waiting for his explanation.

"Let's talk about this pharmacy first. Opening pharmacies in major cities across the country. This is no problem. It's very simple. Just have money, but then the problem comes - there must be medicine when opening a pharmacy, right? How can this antibiotic x be transported to the store? This is the biggest problem!"

"How to transport it? We ship the coastal areas, and we transport it inland areas by car. As for the little devils on the road, we just need to help eliminate disasters." Roger said disapprovingly. With the huge profits of antibiotic x, he did not think that these clicas could take away too much profit. Even if he paid half of the price, he still made a profit.

"Give some money?" Xu Menglong sneered, "This is not a matter of little money. Do you know, how many warlords of all sizes in the country are now? How do these warlords rely on to support the army? There are only three things: donating miscellaneous taxes, selling opium, and setting up clicas! This is not a clica for each province, but a clicas per city, a county, and even a clicas per village, a clicas per village! There are only a lot more and a lot more! As we go along the way, even if everyone shows mercy, transporting goods from Beijing to Xi'an, it will be said that it will take nearly a thousand oceans per truck to take! This is just obvious!

When passing Lika, you don’t just pay the amount specified by the local army. The money is fed to the commander. You have to feed the soldiers who are locked in Lika one by one, otherwise you will still not be able to get through!

This Lika is just a white road. In addition to this Baidao, there are **s? Nowadays, there are more bandits than the army. If you want to feed them, it costs much more than Lika. Moreover, if you don’t deal with them, you will rob them openly! Let’s talk about Dongjiang, Guangdong. There are more than 20 bandit gangs on the river from Shilong to Huicheng. There are 98 checkpoints in total, and you will get the toll! You have to pay once if you don’t walk two miles away! Just this, you haven’t even left Guangdong yet!

In order to prevent this bandit, you have to find a stoogee, which costs money!

What I just mentioned is all ordinary goods. Ours is different from ordinary things. This is a magical medicine that can cure all diseases, especially for the army, it is the same as the lifeblood! Who among the soldiers dares to say that they will not be shot in the future? In order to leave a way for themselves in the future, they may not snatch your taxes at all, but will directly detain your goods!

I know that the boss is backed by the Americans, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. This is useless. At worst, people pretend to be bandits and rob them, and then arrest a few villagers in the future to punish them.

So, it would be fine if this pharmacy is opened on the coast and riverside. If the boss really wants to open in the mainland, then we should wait until when will China emerge as a hero and unify the world."

After listening to Xu Menglong's explanation and combining the history he saw in the book, he estimated that the facts were probably as he said. This antibiotic x was difficult to transport to the mainland. Even if it was shipped, the price would be absolutely 100 to 100 yuan. No one could afford it except those rich people.

"Then we really have no way out?" Roger asked Xu Menglong for advice with a hint of expectation.

"There is a solution, but it's probably no different from not." Xu Menglong said, "We are not in this transportation business. We don't have this trick, but some people are clear about it! They have already managed everything. As long as we cooperate with them, the mainland business can be done."

"Who is it? Is it the boss of the Silver Money House?"

Xu Menglong shook his head: "It's not bad, no, the boss think about it, what business is as profitable as our magic medicine? What kind of thing can only be fortune-telled after the right and wrong are done?"

After thinking for a moment, Roger came up with an answer that he couldn't believe: "Mr. Xu is talking about...opium!?"

"Yes, only opium dealers can transport our goods to the mainland."

"What are you saying? We are saving people, how can we transport them with those harmful things! Let me join forces with those opium dealers! What a joke! Moreover, if you cooperate with them, the price of antibiotic x cannot fly to the sky! How can ordinary people afford it? "Although I had already realized the answer, when I got Xu Menglong's affirmative answer, Roger still jumped up.

Xu Menglong shrugged: "That's why we said that this idea is actually no different from not having it."

Roger waved his hand in annoyance and said depressedly: "Forget it, let's just open shops in cities along the coast and along the river. As for the inland, we are powerless..."
