Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 261 Patent Law

"Tsk, for your Bai family secret recipe? What is your Bai family secret recipe? Isn't it just a pill of Wuji Baifeng pills, a pill of Niuhuang Angong pills, and that piece of donkey-hide gelatin? Is this worth my brother Lang's attention?"

"Go ask around in Nanluoguxiang or the steel mill, and everyone will know that I, Brother Lang, am the God of Wealth! Is that all I have? I, Brother Lang, could easily earn countless Baicao Halls with just the flick of a finger, so why would I still be thinking about your little tricks?"

In other words, the commodity transactions currently being conducted with future generations, which often start at hundreds of billions, are too sensitive and are not suitable for bragging to Bai Jingqi.

Otherwise, Ximen Lang must let him open his eyes today!
However, just because these things are hard to say doesn’t mean other things are hard to say either.

For example, these recipes that Bai Jingqi treasured like heirlooms.
"Believe it or not, your secret recipe is so precious to me. If I want it, I can get it within three days."

"Take it from me?"

"Can taking that from you be considered a skill?"

"From somewhere else? Impossible! These recipes are all handed down from my ancestors! Back then, the little notebook and the bald guy caused such a big fuss that several people in our family died, and they didn't give us any when we arrived! This recipe is only available to this family, no one else can get it."

Before he could finish the word "hao", Ximen Lang took out several boxes of genuine Baicaoting prototypes from his pocket. They were also a century-old store, without a doubt the ones that produced the Wuji Baifeng Pills and Angong Niuhuang Pills produced by Tongrentang in later generations, as well as various types of donkey-hide gelatin, which are the main business items of Baicaoting at present.

Bai Jingqi was stunned.

He handed it to him again and Ximen Lang continued.

"Don't just look at it. What can you tell from it? Haven't you been dealing with medicinal herbs your whole life? Come, carefully distinguish and see what the difference is between the medicine made with my recipe and yours."

I really want to find out what's going on.

There was no hesitation.

With Ximen Lang's instructions, Bai Jingqi immediately took over several boxes of medicine whose packaging was obviously much higher-end than that of Baicaoting and began to examine them carefully.

As soon as he finished checking the first Angong Niuhuang Pill, Bai Laoqi immediately found something wrong.

"This medicine is wrong. The real Angong Niuhuang Pills must be made with rhinoceros horn. Only then will the medicinal effect be sufficient! If you use buffalo horn, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced!"

Ximen Lang was filled with awe after hearing this, and then he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"No, is it really that magical? Just by holding it in your hand and looking at it for a few times and smelling it, you can tell that the horn has changed? You can even tell that it's a buffalo horn?!"

Ximen Lang, who didn't believe in evil, took the pill after breaking the beeswax to reveal its true color and began to examine it carefully.

But because he had no knowledge in this area at all and was completely an amateur, Ximen Lang couldn't figure out anything after looking at it for a long time.

Then, I didn’t understand, but was deeply shocked.

"No, is this true? Are you really that amazing?"

In comparison, Bai Laoqi is much more humble and calm.

"Not everyone can be so amazing when it comes to scoring."

"When?"

“When the recipe says its ingredients.”

"."

Ximen Langxiu's scalp was tingling.

Then, he carefully checked all the boxes of medicine from inside to outside and compared them with the formula. He found that the formula was not very similar to his own, but at least it was exactly the same!
Now, it was Bai Laoqi's turn to lose his composure.

"Our family recipe has absolutely not been passed on to anyone else! Countless people have died, countless lives have been lost, and I managed to save it with great difficulty. I only remember it in my head! How could this guy called Tong Ren Tang have our family recipe? Where did he get it from?!"

Where is it?
Where else could it come from?

Of course, just like the Bai family, it was also passed down from ancestors!
This was taught by a master, and there is no way to break it.

Ximen Lang said proudly.

"That's why I've been telling you that I really despise your prescriptions. So, do you believe me now?"

He brought out several more kinds of donkey-hide gelatin products in succession, including donkey-hide gelatin blocks, donkey-hide gelatin cakes, donkey-hide gelatin powder, donkey-hide gelatin oral liquid, donkey-hide gelatin blood-replenishing cakes, donkey-hide gelatin three treasures cakes, and more than ten other donkey-hide gelatin products.

The Bai family's donkey-hide gelatin that Bai Jingqi was proud of was eaten up in seconds without leaving even a trace.

Ximen Lang explained.

"Times have changed, old man. As long as there's a finished product, not to mention everything in the world, the ingredients and manufacturing steps can be analyzed using professional equipment. At least half of them can be replicated, so there's no problem!"

"So, these recipes of yours have absolutely no appeal to me. This shop with a factory behind it that only consumes a few hundred or a thousand donkey hides a year is no different from a small workshop in my eyes!"

"If I wanted to, I could set up a pharmaceutical factory at any time that could produce ten or a hundred times more than yours, and on a much larger scale! With my cost advantage, I could crush you in a heartbeat! Within a year, you'd be forced to close down. Do you believe it?"

These words completely destroyed Bai Jingqi's world view. He felt like the sky was falling and almost couldn't stand and fainted.

They quickly supported the staggering Bai Jingqi, fanning him and giving him water to save him.

While Bai Jingqi was taking a breath, Ximen Lang hurriedly spoke.

"Old man, don't worry! Not only am I not interested in your recipe, I'm also not interested in this small-time factory. There's no way I'm going to compete for your business, and there's no way I'm going to spread your recipe around and spread it all over the streets. Now you can finally put your mind at ease, right?"

After much persuasion, Bai Jingqi finally calmed down.

Pointing to Director Li and others who were dealing with the problems of Bai Zhanyuan and Manager Yuan on the spot in the distance, Ximen Lang continued.

"I came here with sincerity. See? Those who caused such chaos in Baicao Hall will be dealt with severely today. Those who should be demoted will be demoted, those who should be imprisoned will be imprisoned, and those who should be replaced will be replaced."

"Those workers who are making the most noise, not working but always causing trouble, and whom you can't control, will soon be summoned one by one by our colleagues from the Street Office. Those who can do the work, do it; those who can't, get out! We won't let them hinder the operation of Baicao Hall again!"

"How about it, old man, is this sincerity enough?"

Of course it was enough. Bai Jingqi, who had been tormented by Bai Zhanyuan and others and had basically lost all hope in Baicao Hall, never dreamed that Baicao Hall would be where it is today.

"But I don't understand. You said you don't want the secret recipe, you don't care about the factory, and you don't need the money. But after all this trouble and effort, what do you want?"

"What do you want?"

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Ximen Lang finally spoke.

"From the beginning, I simply wanted to use your influence to get each family to give me a copy of the medical books they were unwilling to show to outsiders, so as to fill in the missing page on our side."

"But seeing you, the famous Master Bai Qi, in such a miserable state, and your century-old store in such a mess, I can't bear it, so I'm moved by compassion and want to find a way out for you."
