"Self-blood" was originally called "blood-enriching"
Looking through a large number of historical documents, it is found that "artificial autologous blood" was really developed by China people themselves and once sold well. 1907, Shanghai Wuzhou Pharmacy jointly operated by Xia, Xie Ruiqing and Chen Lieqing officially opened. The store is located at the intersection of Fuzhou, Guangxi Road, with Xie Ruiqing as the manager and Huang Chujiu as the life director. At this time, Xie Ruiqing developed a Chinese patent medicine and began to name it "Bohrod Buxue" ("Bohrod" is the transliteration of English "blood"). However, due to the various strokes of the drug name, the Chinese people did not understand it, and later renamed it "artificial spontaneous blood."
After Huang Chujiu's publicity, this medicine not only opened the market in Shanghai, but also in North China and Nanyang, and became a rich product of Wuzhou Pharmacy. The "artificial spontaneous blood" sold in Tianjin is this kind of "Bohrod blood tonic".
"New World" for "Spontaneous Blood"
Wuzhou Pharmacy makes a lot of money, and there are contradictions among shareholders. 19 1 1, Manager Xie Ruiqing withdrew his shares for an excuse, and Huang Chujiu invited the manager of Hankou Branch of Sino-British Pharmacy to be the manager of Songmao. Xiang Songzuo was brilliant and had a close relationship with Huang Chujiu. When Xie Ruiqing resigned, Huang Chujiu immediately thought of him and sent a telegram inviting him to come to Shanghai as the manager of Wuzhou Pharmacy. Out of respect, Xiang Songmao came to Shanghai to take up his post.
Xiangsongzuo's operating characteristics are somewhat similar to those of Huang Chujiu. They are pioneering and enterprising, dare to think and do, and attach importance to the publicity effect of advertisements. After he took office, he launched reforms, sold off the luxury furnishings in the store, enriched the capital turnover, moved to a new location, changed the internal mechanism, and set up a drug general distribution department, a retail department and a wholesale and sales department. On the one hand, expand drug imports, on the other hand, develop self-made drugs. In addition to "artificial self-blood", there are also "Tianbu Juice" for invigorating stomach and tonifying deficiency, "Haibo Medicine" for clearing blood and detoxifying, "Bark Pill" for nourishing brain and moistening intestines, and "lung-helping breathing glue" for resolving phlegm and relieving cough. Xiang Songmao's reform, coupled with the advent of these proprietary Chinese medicines, has greatly boosted the reputation of Wuzhou Pharmacy and doubled its profits.
Wuzhou Pharmacy, like Sino-French Pharmacy, is famous in Shanghai, and there are contradictions among shareholders. With a certain strength, Xiang Songmao decided to set up his own "Wuzhou" branch in Tianjin to sell his own "Wuzhou" brand products and expand his business independently. Therefore, he negotiated with Huang Chujiu many times and finally reached an agreement. Huang Chujiu gave his shares in Wuzhou Pharmacy to Xiang Songmao, and Xiang Songmao gave his shares in Shanghai's famous "New World Amusement Park" to Huang Chujiu. Then Wuzhou compensated Huang Chujiu with 22,500 yuan in cash as compensation for restoring Huang Chujiu's lifelong directorship in Wuzhou and terminating the commission of "artificial self-blood". After reaching an agreement, both parties entrusted lawyers to make a statement in the newspaper. In this way, in June of 19 16, Huang Chujiu was completely separated from Wuzhou Pharmacy and operated by Xiang Songmao alone, and this "artificial spontaneous blood" base was located in Tianjin.
"Spontaneous blood" went with him
However, unexpected events happened. Just as the cause of Songmao was developing smoothly, the "War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression" broke out, and the 19th Route Army struggled to resist the Japanese invaders, causing heavy casualties. Xiang Songmao accepted the task of producing military drugs and personally urged him to work overtime day and night to meet the urgent needs of the front line.
At that time, the second branch of Wuzhou Pharmacy, located at the old target intersection of Sichuan North Road (now Wujin Road, Shanghai), was near the war zone and was left behind by 1 1 employees. On the evening of October 28th, 65438/KLOC-0, a Japanese military vehicle approached the store and was stopped by my patriot. The next morning, the Japanese army surrounded the store, forcibly entered the search, found the uniforms of the volunteers and anti-Japanese propaganda materials, and all the left-behind employees were arrested. Hearing this, Xiang Songzuo was filled with indignation and decided to go to the rescue. Colleagues discouraged him. He said: "1 1 colleagues are in danger. If I don't save them, how can I be responsible for the whole company? What is the general manager who is afraid of death? " After that, I boarded the bus to find a way to rescue. 65438+1October 30th, suddenly hijacked by the Japanese army, and taken to Jiangwan Japanese military camp. Xiang Songmao faced the Japanese army and denounced the Japanese aggression. The next day, Xiang Songmao was killed and his body was destroyed. 1 1 employees were also killed. This day is1932,65438+10 month, 3 1. In order to commemorate the Martyrs' Day, all employees of Wuzhou Factory and Store carved the words "13 1" on the store emblem and took the trial-produced toothpaste as the trademark "13 1".
With the martyrdom of Xiang Songmao, his "medicine empire" has gradually become a trace of dust in history. Later, there was no advertisement about "artificial spontaneous blood" in Ta Kung Pao, so he and "artificial spontaneous blood" disappeared. ...
