"Come in."

After Xiao Luomu entered, he noticed that the main seat was empty, so he hesitated to sit down.

Zhao Cheng said to the outside, "Third brother, give the order that the restaurant will be closed for the day. All the workers should go home and rest. Those who do not want to leave should stay on the first floor and are not allowed to come up."

"Understood, brother!"

Xu An quickly put her feet down, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Zhao Cheng looked at Xiao Luomu and said, "Brother Xiao, please have a seat!"

Xiao Luomu said, "You should sit in the main seat!"

“It’s all the same. You’re the chairman now, and the head of the family, so you need to get used to sitting in the main seat.” Zhao Cheng tapped the table and said, “Don’t waste time, let’s get to business once everyone is here.”

"Yes, yes, we need to talk about something!" Xu An said anxiously, "What is it? I'm so worried!"

Wu Sisi said, "That's right, boss! You've been keeping me in suspense the whole way!"

Zhao Cheng smiled and extended his hand to Shi Minghua.

Shi Minghua took out a small bottle and gave it to Zhao Cheng.

After Zhao Cheng placed the small bottle on the table, his expression immediately became frighteningly serious. He said, "Everyone, you are the people I, Zhao Cheng, trust the most. After we finish discussing today's matter, I, Zhao Cheng, am essentially entrusting my life to your hands."

Apart from Shi Minghua, the three people in the room all knew Zhao Cheng well and had almost never seen him so serious, so they couldn't help but become cautious.

Wu Sisi looked at the small bottle and asked questioningly, "What is this?"

Zhao Cheng said, "Penicillin."

Xiao Luomu's expression immediately changed. He looked at Zhao Cheng, then at Shi Minghua, and understood. He exclaimed in surprise, "Young Prime Minister, penicillin is also your business?!"

"I don't have that ability!" Zhao Cheng glanced at Shi Minghua and said, "It's a business between me and Mr. Minghua."

hiss!

Everyone gasped.

Everyone understood: penicillin was developed by Shi Minghua, but Zhao Cheng had already bought it.

After carefully considering Zhao Cheng's harsh words, everyone realized why he was being so cautious.

Penicillin is a drug that can cure the people and save the army. No matter who controls it, the imperial court will be wary of it.

There are no stupid people in the house.

Xiao Luomu's expression also turned unusually serious, and he asked, "What does the young prime minister intend to do now?"

Zhao Cheng said, "Wang Ren from the three counties of Xinbei, Champion Wang from the southern border, and the Yang family army of Nanzhou have all sent people to Yanchuan City to knock on Mr. Minghua's door!"

"Penicillin's reputation can no longer be hidden. Rather than having it under scrutiny, it's better to let it enter the market."

"So... the question became what name to use and how to use it."

Xiao Luomu took a deep breath and said, "This is indeed a problem, a big problem!"

"Think about it..." Zhao Cheng set the tone, saying, "But everyone should try to think positively. Penicillin is bound to be a revolutionary drug that will be passed down through generations. We will not only continue to make money, but we will also become famous in the future. However, we must first solve the current troubles."

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Zhao Cheng sat up straight, picked up the food on the table, and put it in his mouth.

"Have some fruit or snacks. No rush, think it over slowly."

After a half-hour silence and another hour of discussion, the group gradually came to a conclusion.

Shi Minghua initially remained silent, but later joined the discussion.

Although she is not good at business, she has treated countless patients from all walks of life and with all sorts of skills. Some of the treatments require communication with the patients, so she actually knows quite a lot.

After performing the autopsy on Xiao Tian in Qingdong City, Zhao Cheng was temporarily out of danger, so she received various invitations to treat patients and also made many acquaintances.

Mr. Minghua is actually very busy.

When she was in Yanchuan City, she had Doctor Hu and Park Yoo-hee as her two right-hand men, and she also trained a group of excellent apprentices, which made her life much easier.

She was the only one who had guessed beforehand that Zhao Cheng had summoned her to Qingdong City to discuss penicillin, so she came alone without any help.

Of course, Xiao Luomu was the one who spoke the most during the discussion.

After Xiao Tian's incident, Xiao Luomu returned to his normal self, becoming quick-witted and clear-thinking. Moreover, with the change in his status, his overall perspective also became stronger.

He said, "First of all, without going into the details of how we should do it, but from a general perspective, we must do three things."

"First, we cannot ignore the imperial court."

"Secondly, we should still focus on Mr. Minghua's clinic."

"Third, we can make money on our own!"

During the intense brainstorming session, Xu An's thinking was also opened up, and he asked, "We can't ignore the fact that the imperial court means... to involve the imperial court in the penicillin business?"

"This is a must!" Xiao Luomu said firmly. "If we want to make money and live to spend it, we must cooperate with the imperial court. But we can't let the court come to us; we must negotiate with the court before penicillin even enters the market!"

Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "Mr. Minghua is renowned. If we use Mr. Minghua as the main person in charge to negotiate with the court, the court will not have any intention of monopolizing the matter, considering its reputation. This is feasible."

Shi Minghua said with some hesitation, "I'm not very good at discussing this kind of thing."

"I'll go talk to them!" Xu An volunteered. "Don't forget my father is the Minister of Revenue. I'll talk to him first; it shouldn't be difficult!"

“Good!” Xiao Luomu smiled and said, “Then it’s settled. The young marquis will be in charge of the court matters.”

Wu Sisi understood and said, "Chairman Xiao means to divide the penicillin business into three parts: one for the imperial court, one for Mr. Minghua's clinic, and the rest will be handled by our chamber of commerce?"
