Chapter 49: Pharmacy Auction (Part 1)

Marian stood in the study, not daring to make a sound.
It has been a long time since he returned from Tang Sect, but the Patriarch still looked gloomy.
Originally, the owner said that he would take him to Tang Sect to find the place, so that he could see the correct way to deal with disturbances and the knack for finding fault.
The results of it?
Ma Jia has won, but the situation has not improved at all. It is no different from before. On the contrary, it was Zhao Min who took the opportunity to wash himself in public and won the reputation of many people.
Ma Rui'an couldn't help thinking, and taught him the correct way to deal with disturbances and the knack for finding fault, the Patriarch is not much better than him!
Didn't you leave Tang Sect in a dingy manner?
Of course, he only dared to vomit this in his heart, and didn't dare to talk too much.
Three days later, when the owner of the family suddenly found him in the study, Marian muttered inwardly, wondering if he was going to talk again.
"Ryan, you followed me to Tang Sect a few days ago and talked about your opinions." Ma Tao suddenly asked.
Ma Ruian carefully spied on the face of the Patriarch, as she came up to flatter, "Patriarch has good medical skills. Tangmen is just a newly opened pharmacy. How dare you to compete with you? Of course, directly admit defeat and surrender. Patriarch does not fight to give up the enemy, Gao , It is really high."
Ma Tao's eyelids jumped, his face was cold, and he said solemnly, "I'll give you another chance. If the analysis becomes like this for the second time, you will get me out as soon as possible. I will find someone to inherit the Ma family."
Ma Rui'an was at a loss and looked blank. Some people are unwilling to listen to flattering?
Ma Tao was angry when he saw the stupid face on the other side.
Ruiming refused to take over Ma's family, so he had to focus on training Ryan.
Who knows that Ryan doesn't really study seriously and just speak flattery.
Patriarch Ma, when do you need to learn the skill of flattering?
Shame! What a shame!
Ma Tao was very skeptical. He really wanted to make this the next Patriarch of the Ma family. His ancestors had to ask him to talk to him in a dream.
Marian knew that his knowledge was not on the table, but the Patriarch was waiting, without any intention to change his mind, so he gritted his teeth and bit his scalp, "Zhao Min is very cunning. I think he only treated the three in the first test. The medicine is certain, so I refuse to compare other medicines with the owner."
"After Zhao Min won the game for the first time, he was clearly arrogant and behaving badly, but he changed his mind in the Tang Sect and said that he went to the horse house to test the quality of medicines, which is nonsense."
"There may be a trust in the shop. After Zhao Min pretended to be righteous and humble, someone immediately clamored and praised him and guided public opinion."
After a pause, Marian looked at the owner carefully, "I think so, I don't know if I guessed it right."
Ma Tao let out a breath, his mind is OK after normal thinking, not that he is not saved.
Yes, Ruiming used to run the house and manage the store. Ryan has been eating, drinking, and having fun, and his habits are probably not very good, so he slowly changed it.
"The analysis is good." Ma Tao first expressed his approval.
Marian was not happy, he felt there was a "but" behind him.
Ma Tao continued, "Regardless of whether there is a trust in the store, Zhao Min cannot be underestimated. Whether he wins by slapping his face or being asked to admit defeat, he has obtained benefits for himself. Such an opponent is terrible. "
Then, Ma Tao started from the beginning of the disturbance, explained Zhao Min’s language traps and the mistakes Marian made. He broke the whole thing apart, crushed it, and analyzed it to Marian.
Marian wakes up like a dream, feeling that she has never understood it so clearly.
After finishing the whole thing, Ma Tao took a breath and drank a cup of tea to moisturize his throat, "Do you understand what's going on? Tell me, according to your idea, how to deal with it?"
Marian pondered for a moment, and tentatively said, "I think we can temporarily avoid Tang Sect's sharpness and push other medicines vigorously. After my uncle has developed more powerful medicines, he will go directly to Tang Sect to slap him in the face, and then resume the previous way of business. "
Ma Tao was noncommittal and asked the question, "Never mind the other two drugs. Do you know what proportion of Jinchuang Pharmaceutical's sales accounted for?"
Marian shook her head blankly.
"Almost 70%!" Ma Tao calmly reported an astonishing number, "If you let the Jinchuang drug market, how do you push other drugs to make up for this sales? Jinchuang drugs are consumables, and others It’s not medicine, how do you sell it?"
Ma Rui'an said anxiously, "It's only temporary. When the uncle at home develops a more powerful medicine, he can grab the market."
"This is the second question." Ma Tao slowly raised his head and stared at Ma Rui'an, "How do you know that the uncle at home must be able to make more powerful medicine? What if you can't do it?"
Ma Rui'an was completely stunned.
In his heart, Ma's medical skills are the best in the world. He never thought that there would be someone with better medical skills than Ma's.
"Do it, can't do it?" Ma Ruian was startled and began to stammer.
"You have seen the effects of Tang Sect's medicine. How can you guarantee that it will be stronger?" Ma Tao said, "Uncles gather together to do research, and no one knows what they can do or not. If you want to be the head of the family, you should not and cannot pin all your hopes on pharmaceuticals."
"What do you do then?" Marianne asked.
Can't give up the market, but can't compare to others, temporarily avoiding the edge, and waiting for the future to win and fight face. What can be done?
Ma Tao said solemnly, "Price reduction promotion."
"Price reduction?!" Ma Ruian shouted silently, "Patriarch, isn't it great? The price of Jinchuang medicine has been gradually increasing over the years. Each time the price increases, the Ma family has to deal with external dissatisfaction and will bear it very much. A lot of pressure. It’s easy for the price to fall, but it’s much harder to rise again."
Ma Tao patiently analyzed, "The high-end market made by Tangmen, we can switch to the low-end market, at least we can survive. Now that we are willing to cut prices, some customers are too lazy to change stores, maybe they will always shop in Majia. Have you I thought about it, if Majia Jinchuang Medicine and Tangmen Hemostatic Ointment are the same price for a long time, and Tangmen Hemostatic Ointment has a good reputation, what will happen then?"
Ma Ruian hesitated, "Customers...will try to buy Tangmen Hemostatic Ointment?"
"Yes." Ma Tao nodded, "After trying Tangmen's hemostatic cream, customers who value quality will never look back. Customers who care more about price will not be happy even if they continue to choose Majia."
Ma Rui'an listened and couldn't help sweating, "The owner of the house meant that he would not give them a chance to try?"
"Yes, I kept some people from the beginning." A cold light flashed in Ma Tao's eyes. "Although the Tang Sect has a good reputation after two matches, it is not as good as Ma's roots in Jupiter for many years."
"A new store may last for how long. If Tangmen didn't have other propaganda methods and better formulas, Zhao Min would not be able to beat the Ma family after all."
"It's not because of resourcefulness, not because of formulas, but purely because of accumulation. Accumulation can only depend on time. With time, how can the Ma family fail to make better medicines after many years? The outcome is unpredictable."
Ma Tao glanced at Ma Rui'an and said with earnest heart, "In the future, if you become the Patriarch of the Ma family, you have to learn to buy time for your uncle like this, instead of putting all hopes on them. You can't do it at will. Decide, if you really sell other medicines vigorously as you said, the Ma family will die. The burden on you is very heavy, understand?"
Ma Rui'an was convinced, with a respectful expression on her face, "Thank you for your guidance, I understand."
The atmosphere in the study was harmonious and suddenly someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Patriarch, it's not good!"
Ma Tao frowned, recognized the voice of his confidant, and endured his displeasure, "Come in."
His confidant has always been stable, but now he has become anxious, afraid that something big has happened.
"What's the matter?" Ma Tao asked in a deep voice.
His heart trembled, "The Tang Sect guy Zhao Min went to the research institute in the morning, and after testing a potion, he said that it can safely improve the human genetic level. Now he has printed the report, and he is looking for someone outside to distribute the report. Everyone, the medicine will appear at the auction two days later, don’t miss it."
"Papa--" Ma Taosheng smashed the tea cup in his hand and squeezed a few words from his teeth, "Zhao Min! Tang Men!"
Ma Ruian suddenly remembered what the Patriarch had just said to him, "If Tang Sect had no other propaganda methods and better formulas, Zhao Min would not be able to beat the Ma Family."
But the problem is, looking at the current situation, people have better formulas that attract people's attention!
Ma Ruian secretly glanced at the Patriarch, this time, I was afraid that the Patriarch could not deal with Zhao Min.
"At the auction in two days, there will be medicines that can safely increase the genetic level of a person."
The news spread quickly.
Everyone who heard the news sneered, "I have never heard of a medicine that can improve human genetic level. Even, I have never heard of anyone who has studied this aspect. Who spread the rumors? Are you crazy?"
Then, these people will be stuffed into a research report.
Then, those who are knowledgeable will find that according to the report research, the medicine can really improve the genetic level in theory. And, according to scientific analysis, the medicine is safe and harmless.
In an instant, the entire Jupiter boiled.
There are genetic medicines reported by the research institute! You can see the finished product in two days!
Everyone is discussing this matter with relatives and friends through the address book.
Some people have conspiracy theories, and their hearts are gloomy, "Is the research report forged? This is a new type of scam, right? Hey, today's liars are really high IQs and extremely rich in imagination."
A person rushed away next to him, "Just treat it as a scam. I have to ask Zhang for an invitation to the auction to see the scene."
"Hey-wait for me, I also want to see how it deceives people."
However, people were surprised to find that at this time, an invitation letter for an auction had been fired to a high price.
More often, people waved banknotes, but they couldn't find anyone willing to send invitations.
It's hard to find someone who has an invitation letter in his hand and ask if he can sell it, and he often gets a "hehe" face. In the words of one of them,
I’m not short of money, I just want to see what the gene medicine looks like, and if I drink it, I will die.

It's not just a competition for financial resources, but also a competition for personal connections and networks to get an invitation letter.
The culprit was sitting in the room at this time, drinking tea leisurely.
Zhao Min rejoiced secretly and said to himself, "Fortunately, the auction house saw me as a big customer and provided them with gene purifiers for auction. While enthusiastic about the topic, it helped them promote their reputation and gave me an invitation letter. Otherwise, I have nowhere to ask for an invitation letter. If you can't get in for the test drug, won't the auction be a joke!"
