Being able to cooperate with the Cao family will indeed save a lot of trouble, and it would be nice to be a hands-off boss at that time.

What's more, Tang Xiaobao had originally thought about cooperating with Cao Ying. He didn't trust many people, and he naturally knew how Cao Ying treated him. To put it bluntly, he trusted Cao Ying.

However, the controlling rights of the production process must not fall into the hands of others. Even matters involving the formula are not willing to be handed over to others. He must hold this point firmly in his hands.

Of course, given the Cao family's strength, being in charge of marketing is a perfect fit. Cao Ying laughed, "It seems you're quite the sly fellow. Are you afraid I'll steal your formula? Okay, it's settled then. I'll be your agent, but only the domestic general agent."

Tang Xiaobao blushed, "Domestic general agent? You have quite a big appetite."

"What, you don't agree?!" Cao Ying glared.

Tang Xiaobao quickly said, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll leave the domestic general agent position to you. However, if you have any suitable talents, please recommend a few to me. I'm alone right now and can't do anything."

Cao Ying thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Hey, I do have a friend who can help you, but whether she's willing or not is up to you. How about this, I'll contact her later. I guess she's still traveling abroad now."

After seeing Cao Ying off, Tang Xiaobao had nothing to do for a while.

Yes, he wants to start his own pharmaceutical company.

His future is bright.

He is full of confidence.

But you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

What Tang Xiaobao lacks most at the moment is not funds, but talent.

The pharmaceutical factory was bought, but to establish a pharmaceutical company, someone who could take the helm was needed. However, he himself knew nothing about starting a business, and he was only interested in money and had no interest in running a business.

Being a miser and a hands-off boss is what he wants.

It took three days for Tang Xiaobao to get his business license.

Shenlong Pharmaceutical.

He thought this name was great. As a descendant of the Chinese people and a descendant of the dragon, he would be named Shenlong. He believed that the name Shenlong would truly spread throughout the universe in the future.

Tang Xiaobao is confident about this.

The distance from the town to Seoul is five kilometers. It would cost about five million to pave the road. Yu Qingming paid the money alone.

Of course, because of what Luo Songling and Wei Donglai said, County Party Committee Secretary Yuan also supported the widening of the road from 3.5 meters to 7 meters, and the extra cost would be borne entirely by the government.

Mayor Zhang attached great importance to this matter. Within three days, the funds and construction team were in place.

On the day of the opening ceremony, the government and people from all walks of life came to pay their respects. A truckload of fireworks was set off, and the atmosphere was filled with gongs, drums, and red flags waving...

That's a bit exaggerated!

In short, a grand groundbreaking ceremony is indispensable.

With the funds in place, the construction team's progress is naturally not slow. It is estimated that this road can be repaired in just one month.

Before that, the first thing Tang Xiaobao had to do was to find an office space for the new company.

There is a lot of work to be done and everything has to start from scratch.

Tang Xiaobao got out of the car in a commercial center in Bazhong City. Ma Ming pointed at the office building in front of him and asked, "How is it?"

The building is eight stories high and has a unique shape. The glass curtain wall on the outside sparkles in the sun, as if the entire building is coated with a layer of gold powder, which is quite imposing.

"How many floors do you want to rent?" Ma Ming said, "You choose. I won't charge you rent for ten years."

Ma Ming really treated Tang Xiaobao as his own and said it very generously.

Tang Xiaobao was still very touched. He knew that Ma Ming was in trouble now, so how could he take advantage of this? He smiled and said, "I still want to buy it."

"Buy?" Ma Ming frowned. "Do you know the cost of this building? Even if I give you the original price, it's still an astronomical figure. Besides, do you really need such a large place? Or do you want to wait for it to appreciate in value before selling it?"

Tang Xiaobao blushed and smiled bitterly, "Can I sell your property? I really need it. I may not need a large area now, but I will need it sooner or later. If I only rent part of it now, I will have to ask other tenants to leave, which will be troublesome. It's better to buy it all at once. How much is it?"

Ma Ming shook his head and didn't ask any more questions: "The cost is 150 million. Do you really want to buy it?"

Tang Xiaobao was stunned: "Damn, it's so expensive?"

"You don't know much about this business. To be honest, I, Ma Ming, have always done business with conscience. I strictly follow the standards for materials and construction. I absolutely do not do shoddy work." Ma Ming said seriously, "How about this, if you really want to buy, I'll sell it to you at cost. If it weren't for the recent funding problems, I would definitely charge you tens of millions less. But now it really can't be done. Otherwise, why don't you rent a few floors first? I'll waive the rent for you and help you with the renovations. I have acquaintances in this area, and the price won't be high."

Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Forget it. I'll buy it anyway. As for the funding, wait for me to figure it out. I don't need it for now. I'll pay you 50 million in a while, and the rest within a year. What do you think?"

Ma Ming was a little surprised: "Where did you get so much money? Don't be so shameless. We are family. If you don't have money, just owe it to me first and give it to me when you have it."

Tang Xiaobao quickly said, "Don't worry, it might take less than a year. I'll think of a solution. You can keep this property for me first."

"I still have to remind you that this property is not the best in Bazhong. Are you sure you want it?" Ma Ming reminded.

Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "I know what you mean. It's just that the area is a bit quiet. It's okay. I'm not running a shopping mall. I promise that it won't be long before this place becomes bustling again."

"Okay, then I look forward to helping you with the renovations. If you have any requirements in this regard, we can go find a decoration company together to finalize it."

Tang Xiaobao nodded: "Okay, let's go now without further delay."

After spending an afternoon confirming his ideas with the decoration company, Tang Xiaobao returned to his hometown.

Next, the village chief Li Ming convened a villagers' meeting.

At the meeting, Tang Xiaobao and the village committee signed a cooperation agreement.

The village committee represents the villagers and owns 5% of the shares of the medicinal herb planting base. Tang Xiaobao also guarantees that dividends will be distributed to everyone every year.

Before the road is built, the construction of the medicinal herb planting base cannot begin, and the road to the mountain must also be hardened. Of course, Tang Xiaobao has to pay for this money himself, and it won't cost much, just a few million.

On this day, Tang Xiaobao suddenly had an urge to go to the nearby mountains to see if he could find some new medicinal herbs. After the pharmaceutical factory was opened, the medicinal herb planting base would need to be supplemented with some new medicinal herbs.

Tang Xiaobao himself was not quite sure what kind of medicines to develop in the future, so he decided to look at the materials first. He would first look for any good medicinal materials nearby.

The medicinal materials must be common, available everywhere, and suitable for the climate of Seoul...
