Chapter 3147 Good Medicine, No Discount
P.S.: It's getting late, sorry everyone!
……
The next morning.
Yang Xiaotao arrived at the pharmaceutical factory with the box.
As agreed yesterday, Mr. Chen would receive the Alliance's envoys in his office.
Li Rong received the United States delegation at the Foreign Trade Department office building.
Yang Xiaotao, on the other hand, was receiving the group of people from Hong Kong at the pharmaceutical factory.
The reason for choosing the pharmaceutical factory rather than the headquarters of the Ninth Division was mainly to allow the other party to observe the manufacturing process up close and experience the environment firsthand.
Furthermore, there are some things at headquarters that are not convenient to show to the public, and Yang Xiaotao also needs to avoid certain unpleasant things from happening.
"Mr. Yang, I heard there are quite a few people here this time!"
Bai Jingshu and Li Rong were very close, so he naturally received some news about it.
But as he said this, there was a clear hint of mockery in his eyes.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Bai Jingshu and understood the meaning behind his words.
It's just that some of the people who came were from Hong Kong, and some were from Britain.
Among the people from Hong Kong, there were friends of Duanwu.
Yang Xiaotao already knew this during their conversation yesterday!
Yang Xiaotao could only let things take their course.
Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue, who also knew about this, came together, even abandoning their work at headquarters, leaving Yang Xiaotao speechless.
Yang Xiaotao didn't respond to that, but instead crossed his legs and asked about other things.
"The azithromycin research at headquarters has made progress!"
With just one sentence, Bai Jingshu went from being a spectator on standby to being actively engaged.
"Mr. Yang, really?"
"Is it almost finished?"
Bai Jingshu warmly stepped forward to serve tea and water; she was all too aware of the profits behind these medicines.
Let's not even talk about the Imperial Jade Liquor; it's called a medicine, but it's more like a health supplement.
Ninety percent of people who buy this medicine are using it for its side effects.
Of course, this health supplement is indeed effective.
Then there are cephalosporins.
Once this product was successfully developed, it immediately became a hot commodity.
To date, the net profit of cephalosporin antibiotics has surpassed that of Gongting Yuye liquor during the same period.
After all, cephalosporin antibiotics have a wider appeal.
Both the elderly and children can use it.
However, cephalosporin antibiotics are not a panacea; over the years, they have become ineffective against some diseases.
However, azithromycin, which is currently under research, can make up for this deficiency.
It's certain that if this thing were made available, it would be a great benefit to the people and the country.
"The molecular formula has been determined; the next step is laboratory synthesis!"
Yang Xiaotao began to explain, and Bai Jingshu was so happy that his heart stopped halfway through his journey. "I thought the lab was finished."
"So you're trying to keep it a secret from the stove and the bed?"
Yang Xiaotao was speechless. "Everything should be done step by step. If you want to reach the top in one step, you're dreaming."
Bai Jingshu sat to the side and nodded, "What you said makes sense."
"Currently, our production of cephalosporin antibiotics is not yet at full capacity. This year, we will consider expanding another production line, and then consider other options once we have sufficient capacity."
"But this miracle drug is truly unexpected!"
As he spoke, Bai Jingshu looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "President Yang, should we change the name? Isn't 'Special Effect Drug' too tacky?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "No need for that. Just call it the special medicine."
"Isn't it perfect that we used yellow and green gourds to distinguish them?"
"From now on, just call them Golden Gourd and Green Gourd!"
"A golden gourd, a green gourd. This one is not bad!"
Bai Jingshu thought of the small gourd that Yang Xiaotao had given to the children at home. It looked gray. Could it be that it came in other colors?
So, out of curiosity, I asked, "Mr. Yang, you don't have any other colored gourds here, do you?"
Yang Xiaotao gave Bai Jingshu a meaningful look, then nodded vigorously, "You know what, I also want to make a gourd of a different color."
"When we gather seven of them, we'll form the Calabash Brothers and fight monsters together!"
Bai Jingshu looked bewildered. "What Calabash Brothers?"
"What, fight monsters together?"
"Mr. Yang, what do you mean by that?"
Yang Xiaotao quickly laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of a good comic book, nothing else!"
"Alright, send someone to get things ready quickly, so there won't be any mishaps when they arrive!"
Bai Jingshu nodded and then left.
At this moment, Yang Youning, who was in charge of reception outside, walked in. "President Yang, everything is arranged. Now that the tour is over, would you like to arrange a performance or something?"
Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and finally nodded, "That's fine, you can arrange it as you see fit!"
"it is good!"
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Yang Youning immediately nodded and left.
At 10 a.m., the phone on the table rang, and the motorcade of the Hong Kong delegation arrived at the gate.
They were then led by the security department of the pharmaceutical factory to the front of the office building.
Yang Xiaotao came down from upstairs and came to greet him at the front of the building.
As the car stopped, two security guards got out first, and then eight people, four men and four women, stepped out of the car.
Among them, a boy and a girl were both very young children.
Of the remaining people, three were of Chinese descent and three were British.
The eight people had just gotten off the car when they saw a crowd of people waiting at the door.
All eyes immediately fell on Yang Xiaotao, who was surrounded in the middle.
In an instant, all eyes converged.
Yang Xiaotao gave a humble yet polite smile.
"Mr. Yang, this is Ms. Hathaway from the delegation!"
"This is our General Manager Yang, Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"
The accompanying translator stepped forward to introduce the identities of both parties.
When Hathaway first saw Yang Xiaotao, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She had heard of Yang Xiaotao's identity in Hong Kong and knew his age.
But this time when we met, all she could say was that when it comes to age, just listening to numbers is completely useless.
"Hello, Ms. Hathaway!"
While Hathaway was still in a daze, Yang Xiaotao took the lead in communicating in English.
Hathaway realized what was happening, then grasped Yang Xiaotao's outstretched hand and said with slight surprise, "Mr. Yang, I didn't expect you to speak English."
"I'm sorry, I was a little surprised and shocked to see how young you are!" Hathaway said without any embarrassment, while subtly expressing the reason for her shock.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao could only silently complain to himself.
As expected of a product of an "elite family," they've mastered the art of entertaining guests to perfection!
"Yes, many people doubt my age when they meet me."
"Maybe I look younger!"
"This is indeed quite annoying!"
Yang Xiaotao readily admitted it and continued talking to himself, which made Bai Jingshu and Yang Youning beside him feel a little uncomfortable.
But this is how they talk to people like Hathaway.
Just praise generously and acknowledge it readily.
"Please come in!"
Yang Xiaotao gestured, and Hathaway nodded with a smile, suddenly feeling more hopeful about her trip to China.
Yang Xiaotao led the group into the conference room.
In the crowd, Helen and Fatty Nan walked side by side, looking at the furnishings in the corridor and exchanging whispers.
"Is that Duanwu's father?"
Helen put her hands under her nose and whispered, "He looks so young and handsome!"
Fatty Nan glanced at the middle-aged man leading the way, then nodded and said, "My dad said before he came that it should be that leader!"
"Yeah, I think so too!"
Helen nodded affirmatively, then looked at the figure walking ahead.
While the two were talking, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e, who were on the periphery of the group, huddled together.
"You saw it?"
"I see!"
"How is it?"
"It's unlikely to be a real doll!"
"I think so too, this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible!"
"How to do?"
"How would I know? But this girl is quite pretty!"
"Huh? You didn't betray us, did you!"
"Ah, no, no..."
The two chatted for a while and soon arrived at the conference room.
The group arrived at the prepared meeting room and began introducing themselves to each other.
"This is our Director Yang, Comrade Yang Youning!"
Yang Youning stood up and greeted everyone.
"This is Comrade Bai Jingshu, the director of the pharmaceutical factory..."
After Yang Xiaotao finished his introduction, Hathaway began to introduce her entourage.
The first one was Helen sitting next to me. "This is Helen from the Governor's Mansion. Besides seeing the beautiful scenery of Beijing, she also wanted to meet her good friend!"
Hathaway stated her purpose directly, and Yang Xiaotao maintained a smile on his face, but inwardly he felt somewhat helpless.
This girl actually came knocking on my door.
It is said that it is difficult for a man to pursue a woman.
When a woman pursues a man, it's as easy as piercing a thin veil.
But this is way too small!
"Hello, Uncle Yang!"
uncle?
Yang Xiaotao grinned, "Am I that old?"
However, the child's manners were quite good, so Yang Xiaotao couldn't be impolite and immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Helen, welcome to Beijing!"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao speaking with a smile, Helen also smiled.
It must be said that the little white flower growing from this precious little thing is indeed whiter than a bok choy.
Unfortunately, my family is used to eating whole grains, and they're not used to these refined grains!
Hathaway then continued her presentation.
The group consisted of either high-ranking officials from Britain or prominent figures from Hong Kong.
Until finally, when they introduced Fatty Nan.
"Hello, Uncle Yang, my name is Zheng Kainian. You can call me Fatty or Fatty Nan, it's up to you. By the way, I'm Duanwu's friend."
"Before my dad came, he told me that I must thank you, and that you are the one who..."
Fatty Nan then gave a thumbs up.
Yang Xiaotao was amused by the chubby boy, but the fact that the other family sent a child probably meant they valued the boy's relationship with Duanwu.
"Okay, come visit me at home when you have time. I'd be very happy if you could come during the Dragon Boat Festival!"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Nan immediately narrowed his eyes, and Helen, who was not far away, also laughed.
After the introductions, they got down to business.
Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, and Lou Xiao'e immediately placed the gifts on the table.
Hathaway saw this and then opened the gift box on the table.
Then a small golden gourd and a small cyan gourd appeared before them.
Yang Xiaotao's voice came at just the right moment, "The golden gourd uses the best special medicine."
"The small green gourd next to it is a little less effective, but not by much."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Hathaway and the others immediately picked up the small gourd and examined it carefully.
Some people even shook it in their hands, as if to confirm whether it was real or fake.
Seeing so many small gourds all at once, even those who were mentally prepared were still somewhat intimidated.
This isn't something they're just putting out to fool people, is it?
However, the next second, upon hearing the value of the two small gourds, everyone was once again shocked.
Then suddenly it made sense.
After all, this is a miraculous traditional Chinese medicine that can bring the dead back to life, so a higher price is perfectly acceptable.
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense.
So Hathaway tentatively asked about the price, but Yang Xiaotao just smiled and shook his head, refusing to budge an inch on the price.
“Ms. Hathaway, when manufacturing these medicines, we used only the finest, most expensive Chinese herbs…”
Yang Xiaotao started rambling, making Bai Jingshu, Yang Youning, and the others wish they could immediately get up and run outside to calm down.
This guy can really lie through his teeth.
"Mr. Yang, is it really impossible to talk?"
"We can buy a lot!"
Yang Xiaotao simply shook his head and refused, "Ms. Hathaway, I can offer you and your friends some as a token of our friendly relations."
"But lowering the price is impossible."
"Because good medicine will never diminish its value!"
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao remained unmoved, Hathaway could only say helplessly, "Mr. Yang, you win!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, stood up, and extended his right hand.
The two shook hands again, celebrating the completion of their collaboration.
