Is it better to invest in high-end Chinese herbal medicines instead

Zhang, who likes to invest in wealth management, turned his attention to investing in high-end Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines. In Zhang’s home, the author saw that there were more than ten kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and Chinese patent medicines that he bought near him, including expensive wild ginseng and Cordyceps sinensis. Zhang said that the stock market has often fallen, and it has not been "accounted for" for half a year. Instead, it has lost money. The housing price is expensive. The average price per square meter in Shanghai is over 10,000 yuan. It seems to have reached the peak and appreciated. Not big, dare not invest again, therefore, turned to invest in high-end Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines.

Hoarding "potential stocks"

Zhang’s investment in expensive Chinese medicine was due to an occasional opportunity for him to see a great appreciation of Chinese medicine.

Zhang told the author that before the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2006, he bought a 16-gram gift box of Cordyceps sinensis for 1,600 yuan. He intended to give it to relatives, but unfortunately, the relative went abroad to settle down. Therefore, he put the box of Cordyceps At home, inadvertently, this box of Cordyceps became his "collection." What Zhang didn't think was that after a year, he passed the pharmacy, and went in and looked at the price of Cordyceps sinensis. The price of the same packaging and specifications of Cordyceps sinensis almost doubled. As a result, Zhang Meng issued the idea of ​​investing in high-grade Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines.

In fact, there are still many people and companies like Zhang who invest in high-grade Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines. Teacher Tang from Huxi has a lot of research on investment and collection. In his early years, he met some famous painters and artists, and bought a large number of paintings and calligraphy from the hands of painters and their agents. Teacher Tang believes that the value of the works of famous painters and painters will definitely increase. Sure enough, Teacher Tang made a fortune. In just four or five years, Mr. Tang earned three or four million yuan. According to conservative estimates from people around him, the value of valuable paintings that Tang’s family did not sell was at least 5 million yuan. Nowadays, Teacher Tang is no longer investing in painting and calligraphy. This is because the current price of paintings and calligraphy is high, and there are many counterfeits. If you don't get it, you will lose your wife and lose your troops. Therefore, Mr. Tang shifted the focus of the investment collection to high-end Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines.

What makes Mr. Tang taste the sweetness is that he once bought 20 Angong Niuhuang Wan from his colleagues at a price of 100 yuan per piece, and his colleagues bought it at a price of 50 yuan per piece a few years ago. Today, the price of pure natural Angong Niuhuang Wan in the hands of Teacher Tang has actually risen to 2,000 yuan. Mr. Tang also has a large collection of other high-end Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines. Teacher Tang feels that investing in high-end Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines is like investing in “potential stocks”.

Blind collection is not enough

Then, is the value of high-grade Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines worth investing? The industry believes that with the continuous improvement of residents' consumption levels, traditional Chinese medicine tonics have become the consumption category of daily Chinese medicine. Because high-grade Chinese herbal medicines and precious Chinese patent medicines use rare wild medicinal plants and animals as raw materials, today, due to excessive mining, hunting and ecological environment changes, wild medicinal plants such as rhinoceros, musk and tiger bones are coming. The less, some are already in an endangered state, so the production of high-grade Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines is limited, and some have been cut off. Only artificial cultivation (cultivation) of medicinal materials has been used as a substitute, which has led to an increase in their worth and investment.

However, some experts have put forward different views. A Chinese herbalist and medicinal material identification expert in Shanghai admits that although some Chinese medicines are now rising due to the price increase of medicinal materials, investing in high-grade Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines can bring certain economic benefits. However, drugs are, after all, a special commodity, and ordinary consumers know very little about the authenticity of the drugs. At present, there are some counterfeit and high-grade Chinese herbal medicines in the market. Some Chinese herbal medicines are difficult to judge by their naked eyes. Moreover, some Chinese herbal medicines require certain professional knowledge and long-term accumulated experience. Therefore, there is no professional. Ordinary consumers of knowledge investing in high-end Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines are bound to have greater risks.

In addition, even if it is really high-grade Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicines, it is not easy to add value through collection means. Because the storage conditions of Chinese medicinal materials are special, the requirements are also very high, and it is necessary to dry, low temperature, and seal the environment. If necessary, add borneol to help the storage. If it is stored carefully, it is easy to mold and deteriorate. After all, Chinese patent medicines are not a collection that is generally recognized by the society. It is necessary to be cautious in investing in value-added. Although some valuable Chinese patent medicines have gradually disappeared, the efficacy of proprietary Chinese medicines or other new Chinese patent medicines made from synthetic raw materials may not necessarily decline. Although the shelf life of proprietary Chinese medicines is long, there is also a shelf life after all, and it is very likely that it will not be worth the loss.

In view of this, experts advise consumers: Do not blindly join the high-end Chinese herbal medicines and valuable Chinese patent medicine investment collection team, so as not to regret.
