Chapter 664: Jiuxuan Stomach Powder

Early the next morning after Zhang Xiaoman's wedding, Ye Chen was watering the crops in his vegetable garden when he received a call from Wei Liang.

On the phone, Wei Liang told him that the stomach powder he produced according to the prescription Ye Chen gave had passed the relevant permits of the drug supervision department and could be prepared for listing and sale.

This stomach powder prescription derived from the Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra has a strong relief effect on the stomach discomfort symptoms encountered by ordinary people in daily life.

If there is chronic stomach disease, taking this stomach powder can get very good improvement and conditioning.

Stomach acid, stomach bloating, stomach pain, or stomach discomfort caused by drinking, catching a cold, fatigue, etc., can get immediate results by taking stomach powder.

Stomach powder medicine was invented by famous doctors in ancient China, but the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the country has been relatively slow in the last few decades. Medicines like stomach powder are instead dominated by products produced by Japanese and Korean pharmaceutical factories.

For example, Japan has the famous Ota Stomach Powder and Kobayashi Stomach Powder.

Both types of stomach powder are in powder form, packaged in small bags. When encountering stomach discomfort, take one bag with warm water immediately, and it can have a good effect.

Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's Kobayashi Stomach Powder has been rated as a daily essential medicine by ordinary people in Japan and many other countries.

From this, it can be seen how large the sales and profit space behind it is.

The stomach powder produced according to the prescription in the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" has an efficacy about eight to ten times that of Kobayashi Stomach Powder. The efficacy is very significant, and it also has a very good advantage, which is that there are basically no side effects. Moreover, the stomach powder produced by the prescription carries a rich and fresh medicinal fragrance, which gives people a very good sensory experience.

This stomach powder was named "Jiuxuan Stomach Powder" by Ye Chen and will be the first brand-new medicine produced since Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical changed its name and owner.

Wei Liang said on the phone, "Master Ye, the efficacy of this stomach powder is truly too magical. We found many volunteers with stomach diseases to try this medicine, and they all gave very, very high evaluations. It is several times stronger than Japanese and Korean stomach powder. Now these volunteers all very much hope that this medicine can be listed as soon as possible!"

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and asked him, "Then when can you officially list and sell in batches?"

Wei Liang said, "We have already produced more than 50 tons. Now that the approval has come down, we can directly package and list for sale."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "With more than 50 tons of raw medicine, about how many portions can be packaged?"

Wei Liang said, "We are prepared to use the same specifications as those stomach powders in Japan, using 1.3 grams per bag and 48 bags per box. In this way, the net content of raw medicine per box is 62.4 grams, and about 800,000 boxes can be packaged in total."

Ye Chen asked again, "What about the selling price? What is the Japanese selling price?"

Wei Liang said, "Ota Stomach Powder and Kobayashi Stomach Powder are probably about 150 yuan per box in RMB. Our Jiuxuan Stomach Powder has several times the efficacy of theirs. I think it is reasonable for us to sell at least 400 to 500 yuan per box."

Ye Chen asked him, "What is the cost of one box for us?"

Wei Liang said, "Most of them are some traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and the cost is actually very low. We are already very conscientious. The cost is about 20 yuan per box, so I speculate that the cost of Ota Stomach Powder and Kobayashi Stomach Powder is only about 10 yuan."

When Ye Chen heard this, he said, "Then we will also sell at 150 yuan per box. With the same price and several times the efficacy, we will directly squeeze out these similar competing products from Japan and South Korea!"

Wei Liang hurriedly said, "No problem, Master Ye. Then I will supply the dealers at 150 yuan per box."

"Good!" Ye Chen exhorted, "Try your best to produce at full capacity. Don't worry about the sales of this medicine. We must not only cover domestic users but also cover countries like Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. We must not only compete with them in our own territory but also go to their territory to compete with them. Since we want to grab their market, we must be prepared with enough ammunition."

"I understand, Master Ye!"

Wei Liang was excited and blurted out, "Japanese and Korean traditional Chinese medicine has been suppressing us for so many years, and now we can finally fight back!"

As he spoke, Wei Liang asked again, "By the way, Master Ye, should our Jiuxuan Stomach Powder do some TV commercials? It's best to invite a celebrity to endorse it. In this society, everyone is doing publicity. Even good wine is afraid of deep alleys."

Ye Chen smiled, "Okay, then you find the most popular celebrity, and it must be the kind of celebrity who is upright and 'comes out of the mud without being stained', because the entertainment industry is really too chaotic. Those with black history and scandals, don't use them at all!"

Wei Liang said, "Okay, Master Ye. I have a very suitable candidate in my heart. I don't know what you think, Master Ye?"

Ye Chen asked, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Wei Liang hurriedly said, "There is a female celebrity who is very popular in film, television, and singing, named Gu Qiuyi. She just took on a Hollywood movie a while ago, and her popularity is very high now. Moreover, this person seems to come from a famous family, so there are no scandals at all. She is the object of worship for countless young men and women."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I don't know much about the entertainment industry, and I don't chase stars, so you decide. If you think this person is suitable, then you contact her agency and communicate the price. If it's suitable, sign the contract directly and let her start filming the commercial."

"Okay, Master Ye!"

After hanging up Wei Liang's phone, Ye Chen picked some fresh vegetables and prepared to go back to the house to cook breakfast for his wife, Xiao Churan.

Just in time, Xiao Churan had also gotten up and walked down from upstairs.

Ye Chen thought of the phone call just now and asked curiously, "Wife, have you heard of Gu Qiuyi?"

Xiao Churan immediately said excitedly, "Gu Qiuyi? You don't even know Gu Qiuyi? She is the most popular female celebrity now."

Ye Chen shook his head, "I don't chase stars, and I don't know much about these."

Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "Let me tell you, Gu Qiuyi is my idol, not just my idol, but a national idol. She is great at acting in movies and TV shows, and she is also great at singing! I heard that she is coming to Jin Ling to hold a concert in a while. I have been paying attention to the ticket website, just waiting for the tickets to go on sale so I can grab them."

Ye Chen smiled, "I'm your husband, and I didn't even know this person was your idol!"

Xiao Churan said, "You didn't ask me either. Besides, I don't like to hang many things on my lips. I like someone in my heart, and I won't keep talking about it every day like others."

Ye Chen nodded gently, thinking, if Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical really reaches a cooperation with this Gu Qiuyi, maybe he can let his wife satisfy her star-chasing hobby.
