Placenta is the main source of nutrition for infants in the mother's body. In some hospitals in Beijing, the human placenta after delivery has become the "fragrant cake" in the eyes of placental sellers. How shocked it is to open the black curtain of human placenta!
They have been occupying hospitals for a long time, using various relationships to buy human placenta in large quantities, and then making 'placenta capsules' to sell at a high price for profit. A 400 yuan human placenta can be made into hundreds of placenta capsules, each of which is priced at 10 yuan.
According to a secret interview with the Beijing News, some private groups have links with each other, forming a network of relationships that resell human placenta. Their sources are shared, and each team can trade with each other as long as they give money.
Although the former Ministry of health made it clear more than 10 years ago that no unit or individual should buy or sell placenta. However, the practice of selling placenta has not stopped. At present, there is still a gap in the law in punishing the act of buying and selling placenta.
The greater risk comes from the placenta of unknown origin. Some doctors say that if the placenta is infected with hepatitis B, AIDS, syphilis and other viruses, there is a certain probability that the edible person will be infected with the disease.
At 10 a.m. on May 15, in the lobby of a maternity hospital in Beijing, Li Ping, in her 40s, sat on a plastic chair with a slightly nervous look, and looked at the direction of the delivery room from time to time.
Suddenly, the phone rings.
When she got on the phone, she got up and walked to the hall where there were few people. After talking about the phone, she walked quickly to the delivery room.
Ten minutes later, she returned to the lobby on the first floor, looking relaxed and saying: 'I got two placentas, but they're not in my hands. '
For fear of being seen, she said, the placenta had been taken away by the recipient. The placenta will be processed and sold.
Register 'cattle' hospital to buy human placenta
At first, Li Ping was just making 'cattle'.
In 2013, Li Ping came to Beijing from her hometown in Shanxi Province and initially worked in a property company. He quit his job in less than two months. Introduced by her good friend Wang Rong, she began to work as a number dealer in a maternity hospital.
'the registration fee is from 500 yuan to 800 yuan. 'she said that registration and bed change can be done as long as she is willing to spend money.
After a period of time as a number trafficker, Li Ping began to participate in the human placenta resale business of Wang Rong and others.
Her business has been good for more than three years.
Later, she began to take a small team of four people to occupy the maternity hospital, providing one-stop services of placenta acquisition, processing, production and sales.
She said that there are two main ways to get human placenta from the hospital: one is to get it from the obstetrics and gynecology department, and the other is to buy it from the puerpera and her family members. The other two days ago, she just bought a placenta from a puerpera at a unit price of 400 yuan.
"When a woman comes to the hospital to register, we will help her to register. She is responsible for everything from registration to delivery. 'Li Ping said that when buying placenta from a pregnant woman, it can't be said that she is profiteering, but that she uses it for her own use, otherwise she won't be sold. This is also their script.
On May 15, a reporter from Beijing news came to the maternity hospital with Li Ping in the name of buying placenta. She asked the reporter to wait in the hall on the first floor. She went to the delivery room first to ask.
More than ten minutes later, Li Ping went back to the hall and said softly to the reporter: 'I have the goods, I asked. 'then she sat in the chair and waited.
After that, the scene at the beginning of this article appears.
See placenta arrive, Li Ping says to reporter, each placenta pays 200 yuan deposit first, 'this is the rule'. After that, the customer takes the final payment, hand in the money, hand in the delivery, and the transaction is completed.
Placenta capsule made in rental room
Li Ping's' goods' are subject to the customer's requirements, and the prices are not the same.
She said that in the hospital, she charged 400 yuan for a fresh placenta, and sold it directly without processing at a premium of 100 yuan, or 500 yuan; after processing, she sold 800 yuan for a placenta capsule; if the customer can't use that much, she only wanted to buy a placenta capsule alone, then 10 yuan for a placenta capsule. At the same time, she also undertakes the door-to-door service of processing placenta for the puerpera, with a single processing fee of 300 yuan.
The whole processing is done by Li Ping's team, and the placental processing site is in the rented house.
At noon on May 15, Li Ping sat at the door of the maternity hospital, took out her mobile phone and called Tao Yun, her companion: 'are you there? I'll be right here. '
After hanging up, she pointed to a community diagonally opposite the hospital and said to the reporter, 'it's just upstairs. Let's go. If we don't do it again, others will sell it at a high price. '
This placental workshop is located on the fourth floor of a residential building, without any signs. Tao Yun said that in order to avoid supervision, she could only work in the placental processing room with a monthly rent of more than 5000 yuan.
The area of the room is not more than 60 square meters, which was originally a pattern of one room, one hall, one kitchen and one bathroom. However, the living room was cut off to make a room for bed.
There are two electric ovens on the table near the window of the room. The boxes under the table contain the empty capsules needed to make placenta capsules. Next to the room is the kitchen.
Li Ping said that she had prepared two placentas for use in the basin, one from the maternity hospital the day before and the other from the hospital that morning.
The first is cleaning. Li Ping takes out a placenta from a stainless steel basin filled with water, cuts the umbilical cord with scissors, and then cuts multiple openings on the placenta to let the blood in the placenta flow out. After the placenta was put into the basin, the color of the water immediately turned red and black. Li Ping stirred it with her hands and a fishy smell came to her. "I made it for a young man a few days ago. He couldn't stand the smell and kept covering his nose."
After the placenta is washed, Li Ping puts the placenta in a pot of boiling water and boils it. The gray and black foam emerges slowly. Li Ping holds a long spoon and scoops up the waste foam. 'it can't be all cooked, it's mainly to clean these dirty things'.
After cooking for about 8 minutes, Li Ping put the boiled placenta into cold water to cool down, and then drained the water.
A common chopping board, a kitchen knife, and the next work will be done by Tao Yun. She put the placenta on the cutting board and cut it into pieces. 'the more broken, the better, the faster the water disperses. 'she said.
About 5 minutes later, Li Ping divides the cut placenta into two baking pans, shakes them, and brings them to the next room. Tao Yun turns on the power of two ovens, adjusts the baking time, and puts in the placenta.
'bake for more than 20 minutes. Li Ping stares at the placenta slice in the oven and says, 'it's too much. Open the window. Tao Yun came to open the window, but it was not very effective.
In the interval waiting for the placenta to dry, Li Ping said to the reporter: 'the effect of eating placenta is very good, beauty, blood, burn, scald, infertility can be treated. '
After drying, the size of placental slices shrinks and turns black like coke. Tao Yun takes the placenta piece out and puts it into the powder beater to crush it into a pile of earthy yellow powder.
Tao Yun takes out a bag of red and yellow segmented empty capsules from the cardboard box under the table, and Li Ping and Tao Yun put the placenta powder into the empty capsules together. They are skillful, and the time for filling a placenta capsule is not more than two seconds.
"This placenta contains 112 capsules. Li Ping said that since the placenta is ordered by the customer as a whole or charged at 800 yuan. If you sell it at a price of 10 yuan, you can sell it for more than 1000 yuan, with a higher profit.
Li Ping put the placenta capsule into a plastic bottle. It takes about one hour from placenta washing to processing.
The processed placenta capsules were taken away by Li Ping. Outside the community, Li Ping sold a fresh placenta and the placenta capsule to a man for a total price of 1300 yuan. Tao Yun got 100 yuan, and Li Ping recorded 1200 yuan.
Li Ping said that when she used to be a "scalper", she introduced placenta capsule business to others while delivering business cards in the hospital. Most of her buyers accumulated this little bit, and there would also be people recommended by buyers to ask for goods from her.
In order to make more profits, she sold more by the piece, with a placenta sold to more than 1000 yuan.
'sometimes two or three placentas a day. Li Ping said that with good business and sufficient supply, it is not difficult to earn 100000 yuan a month.
Resource sharing and mutual supply and marketing among resellers
In Li Ping's view, it's very important to have enough supplies. Even if she doesn't have them at the moment, she can get the placenta at any time.
Li Ping said that many hospitals have personnel specialized in the purchase and sale of human placenta. In a maternity hospital where she has been 'designated', there are more than one small Gang engaged in placenta scalping. However, teams are not completely competitive and sometimes share resources. As long as money is given, each team can trade with each other in order to get through the human placenta trading market and seek benefits.
When Li Ping has no source of goods, she will call other insiders to 'transfer' the goods, and then share 200 yuan to the supplier.
Chen Mei, who lives in Daxing District, is one of Li Ping's emergency suppliers.
'300 yuan for placenta and 300 yuan for processing. "Chen Mei said that her placental resources were obtained from three hospitals with obstetrics and gynecology in Daxing District, including a private hospital. Mainly from the hands of mothers and their families, the unit price is 300 yuan. 'you can also buy it from the doctor, but you have to have a relationship. Those you don't know won't be sold to you. '
She has made a large number of business cards, which are distributed in the gynecology and obstetrics department of three hospitals, so that people who want to sell placenta can contact her.
On the afternoon of May 14, at the door of the obstetrics and Gynecology delivery room of a hospital in Daxing District, there were several business cards of Chen Mei with the words "processing placenta" written on them.
Chen Mei said that it is not illegal for a woman to process her own placenta, or help a placental holder (a woman) process placenta, but it cannot be sold. Therefore, in doing this business, we usually avoid suspicion with the slogan of processing on behalf of others. The sale of human placenta can only be done in private.
In addition to looking for peers to 'transfer goods', Li Ping sometimes goes online to find' placental dealers' to purchase goods. 'although the price is much cheaper than the personal source of goods, she is not an acquaintance. Considering the safety of placental products, she generally does not go online to find goods unless the source of goods at hand is extremely tight. 'she said.
Unlike placental resellers such as Li Ping and Chen Mei, online placental distributors generally sell placentas in bulk and do not accept single placentas.
According to Li Ping, she knows a dealer who is engaged in the wholesale of human placenta. The wholesale price of placenta is 35 yuan. It is not sold alone. Generally, there are 100 acquisitions or sales. Dealers will advertise for sellers and buyers on the Internet for a long time.
As of May 21, 1590 posts were published in a post bar called "placental bar", with 623 followers. The content of the post is "purchase placenta", with mobile phone number or QQ number attached.
The reporter inquired the QQ number of a buyer, and his personal profile was' wholesale high-quality Zihe car (human placenta), including laboratory test '.
The buyer said on the phone that he bought placenta without asking the source, and that he could trade if he had the goods.
There is a legal gap in the punishment of those who resell placenta
No matter Li Ping, Chen Mei and other reverse sellers or placental dealers, they are all aware of the regulations on not buying and selling placentas. For placenta (Ziheche) benefits Qi, blood, kidney and essence, many people buy it to eat. 'if there is demand, there is market. 'said Li Ping.
In 2005, the Ministry of health made it clear that the placenta after delivery should be owned by the parturient, in response to the doubts of some parturients and medical institutions about how to deal with the placenta after delivery. If a parturient gives up or donates placenta, it may be disposed of by a medical institution. No unit or individual is allowed to buy or sell placenta. If the placenta is likely to cause the spread of infectious diseases, the medical institution shall inform the puerpera in time, in accordance with the
