When Ye Chen asked Hu Datong about the purchase price of the medicinal materials in Beiyaotang, he found that it was a bit more expensive than the wholesale price at the Haozhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Trading Center.

Of course, if it is a small amount of Chinese medicinal materials, there is not much difference. After all, there is some distance from Haozhou to Vietnam, and the freight is also a lot. However, if it is imported in large quantities, the total purchase price in Haozhou must be cheaper.

When Hu Datong asked him when he would have time to visit Vietnam, Ye Chen also didn't know when, so he could only see when it was suitable to go there in the future.

After he hung up the phone, Yang Jingya asked: "Are you calling a friend?"

"For a partner, right?" Ye Chen said.

In fact, no matter how big the Chinese herbal medicine business in Vietnam is, Ye Chen still looks down on it. Like the foreign Chinese medicine market, it is about 800 billion yuan, but most of it is monopolized by South Korea and Japan, and the domestic Chinese medicine market has already exceeded one trillion yuan.

Among them, like the Bozhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Trading Center, it can be regarded as an intermediate market, which means that the Chinese medicinal materials purchased from the pharmaceutical farmers are wholesaled to other medicinal material dealers, and they are sold after earning intermediate profits. The profit is not too much. many.

However, the annual transaction volume here has exceeded tens of billions. If the value of Chinese medicinal materials finally circulated to consumers would have exceeded 100 billion.

Therefore, for Hu Datong, it was nothing to Ye Chen to just use those few months to make those millions.

Yang Jingya didn't know those, but Ye Chen felt more excited.

"Sister Jingya, I will look around with you again, there may be unlimited business opportunities, gold everywhere." Ye Chen said.

Yang Jingya doesn't understand, isn't this a Chinese medicine trading center? Also, in her opinion, Ye Chen usually only treats people.

Starting from the first pharmacy, Ye Chen led Yang Jingya to see more than a dozen one after another. More than an hour has passed, and there are more than ten business cards in his pocket.

Of course, Ye Chen’s fame is only limited to Shanghai, and he is not very well-known here in Haozhou. Moreover, the main people here are medicinal businessmen, and he did not recognize the young man in front of him. He was the most dazzling star, otherwise, these medicinal material dealers would not treat him as an ordinary doctor.

Ye Chen doesn't matter. He likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people. It's the same now, pulling Yang Jingya to look at these pharmacies.

He knows that the trading center here covers an area of ​​nearly 400 acres, with a construction area of ​​350,000 square meters. There are more than 1,000 stores of this kind. Even if you don’t need to go to other places, carefully look at those stores. It may take a week or two in the morning to visit those Chinese medicine shops overnight.

Because most of these shops are the same and similar, Ye Chen looked at more than a dozen and found that the Chinese medicinal materials in these shops were all the same, and the prices were almost the same. As for the classification, these were the same.

After reading these shops, Ye Chen led Yang Jingya into the trading hall. When she saw the medicinal shop with more than 30,000 square meters and more than 6,000 stalls, Yang Jingya was already in a daze.

Although she grew up in Haozhou, it is the first time that she has seen such a large scale and so many people selling Chinese medicinal materials at the stalls.

Ye Chen glanced over, as if unable to finish, all were stalls selling all kinds of Chinese medicine one after another.

Compared with those shops just now, the stalls here have their own medicines, some are wild-picked and some are artificially planted, and many of them are directly traded by medicinal farmers with medicinal material dealers.

But are there any fake medicines here? Ye Chen may not be clear about whether there are fakes or real ones, or whether they are of high or low level.

Because this kind of stalls are often the same as those selling antiques. They really understand that they can’t be deceived no matter where they are. Those who don’t understand may be deceived in those specialty stores.

Therefore, when Ye Chen came here, he closed his eyes and smelled the smell of Chinese medicinal materials. It felt like a beauty smelled various perfumes.

"Ye Chen, what are you doing?" Yang Jingya asked while looking at him with her eyes closed.

"There is gold everywhere here, I feel like I can see gold with my eyes closed." Ye Chen said.

"What kind of gold? Medicine is sold here." Yang Jingya said.

Although the price of some Chinese medicines is more expensive than gold, such as wild ginseng that has been over a hundred years old, there are too few wild ginseng, like the little finger-sized wild ginseng that Ye Chen saw in that store just now. It costs a few thousand yuan, which is indeed more expensive than gold.

Like those higher-grade Cordyceps, the expensive ones are more than 100,000 yuan per catty, hundreds of yuan per gram, almost the same as the price of gold.

However, the prices of most Chinese medicines here are not high. Ye Chen took Yang Jingya inside and heard medicinal material dealers from all over the world and medicinal farmers and pharmacists in those stalls communicating and selling.

Ye Chen had already seen black people from Africa, white people from Europe and America, Arabs, and medicinal material dealers from Korea and Japan.

These people will bring translators with them, so naturally they come here to import a batch of Chinese herbal medicines.

For example, the foreign Chinese medicine market with RMB 100 billion is not only the mountain herbal medicine market, but also the processed Chinese medicine market. In this regard, South Korea and Japan are not the main producers of Chinese herbal medicine, because most of the raw materials of Chinese medicine in their countries It is from China.

However, if the Chinese herbal medicines imported from China are processed into Chinese patent medicines, they may increase by several times, more than ten times after processing. In the end, some Chinese people may buy them and use them.

Therefore, now that Ye Chen saw the Chinese medicine trading market here, he saw gold everywhere, nothing at all.

However, Yang Jingya didn't know, she just thought it was a large-scale Chinese medicine trading market.

Ye Chen took Yang Jingya and looked over and over again at the traditional Chinese medicines produced in various places, including many local medicine farmers.

The value of artificial planting is not as effective as wild medicine.

First of all, it is because of the region, such as traditional Chinese medicine that was originally planted in the south, and the north is also cultivating artificial planting, so the effect is definitely different.

Second, because of time, most of them are wild, because they only rely on rain and sunlight, and specific soil quality, and the cycle of birth is very long.

Third, the artificially planted Chinese medicinal materials are harvested so quickly, one is because a lot of fertilizers are used, and the second is to use a lot of pesticides, so for this alone, wild ones are much better than artificial ones. Up.

However, now that the demand is so great, the wild ones are getting less and less, and even the country can only protect them. Therefore, Ye Chen is also very in favor of artificial planting to maintain the demand for Chinese medicinal materials on the market.
