Chapter 161 Impotent Rage
"Yunxi, I'm sorry to bother you these two days and in the future. This is the gold that was hidden before the house was confiscated. I went out to find it this morning."
"Keep it. When the supervision is not so strict in the future, you can exchange it for money."
"Mr. Zhang, this is unacceptable. I asked you to come back and help me. How can I take your money?"
Lin Yunxi reluctantly stuffed the gold back into Zhang Qingquan's hands, saying that he could not accept it no matter what, as this precious item might be the life savings of the old Zhang couple.
Seeing her firm attitude, Zhang Qingquan could only change his words.
"Yunxi, how about this? You help me put the things away and leave them with you. If I need money in the future, I will ask you for it."
Since Mr. Zhang had said that, Lin Yunxi had no choice but to put it away, thinking of returning it to the two old men after the situation stabilized.
But in her mind, this was Mr. Zhang's excuse. If the two were still unwilling to accept it at that time, Lin Yunxi considered exchanging the gold for cash and helping the two old people buy some real estate.
In the next few days, Lin Yunxi started to get busy with his business.
Fortunately, General Song lent her the car and driver allocated by the unit, which saved her a lot of time on the journey.
Because of the old general's title, many steps in the procedure were simplified.
During the day, Yan Yan would stay at Old Song's place to learn Go or go out to visit some scenic spots. In the evening, Lin Yunxi would pick him up. The little guy had a lot of fun.
Sometimes, when she went to pick someone up, the little guy was reluctant to leave.
The subsequent journey was just as Zhang Qingquan had said, extremely smooth.
On the one hand, it was because Zhang Qingquan was a big shot in the industry, and with his endorsement, Lin Yunxi saved himself a lot of trouble.
On the other hand, it was because of the high salary, high benefits and high degree of freedom in research content and working hours she offered.
This era is not so friendly to intellectuals, and none of the people Lin Yunxi had previously selected had a very satisfactory life.
There were even several people who, like Mr. Zhang before, were labeled as youists and sent to cow sheds in surrounding villages.
They worked intensively every day and could not even get enough to eat, but the appearance of Lin Yunxi brought them hope in life.
These old professors must grasp this only lifeline and completely escape from their suffering.
In the process of looking for people, Lin Yunxi didn't have to say much. Most of the time it was Professor Zhang who did the talking and introductions.
The original plan was to gather all the people in five days, but with the addition of Zhang Qingquan, it was done in three and a half days.
These people all specialize in chemical pharmaceuticals, traditional Chinese medicines, medical research and biological vaccines, and there are even a few professors who specialize in the research and development of medical devices.
Taking into account the physical conditions of these professors, Lin Yunxi planned to rest in the guesthouse for two days before returning to Province Z.
Lin Yunxi's life can be described as smooth sailing, but some people are not doing so well.
During this period, Kong Manzhu's factory faced an unprecedented crisis.
Originally, she still relied on her parents' connections, and more than a dozen large hospitals still sent orders to maintain the operation of the factory.
But the market is often a place where the fittest survive, with price and efficacy dominating. Patients are not stupid and would rather choose more expensive but extremely effective drugs.
I will not use cheap medicine that looks cheap but requires many bottles to have any effect.
In this comprehensive comparison, using cheaper drugs costs more and takes more time.
After all, the hospital is not private but public, and the annual evaluation will not only look at the patient admissions but also the operating performance.
The hospital was unable to sell the medicines it purchased, leaving them with a pile of money, which caused dissatisfaction among many doctors.
I can't understand why people would choose a generic drug produced by an unknown small factory when there are better medicines.
In the view of these doctors, if a medicine is effective for the patient's condition, it should be used no matter how expensive it is.
These hospitals, which originally chose the medicines from Kong Manzhu's factory out of respect for Kong's father, eventually could not bear the pressure.
He decisively canceled the original order, without even asking for a deposit, and instead invested in the First Military Region Pharmaceutical Factory of Province Z.
When Kong Manzhu called to question the situation, these hospitals seemed to have colluded with each other in advance. They all gave similar excuses and kept passing the buck to each other.
Kong Manshu was so angry that he was helpless and furious on the other end of the phone, and threatened to remove all the responsible persons from their positions.
Once these words were spoken, many people were offended, and these people were all senior leaders of the hospital. To be able to climb to such a high position, they must have some abilities.
They would not be afraid of the threat from a young girl, not to mention that Kong's father has been retired for many years.
The situation in the officialdom is ever-changing and is no longer what it was when he was still in office. Although these hospitals have some concerns, they have nothing to fear.
Finally, the more decisive Kong Manzhu's words were, the more orders these hospitals sent to the First Military Region Pharmaceutical Factory of Province Z.
So in recent times, the capital chain of Kong Manzhu's factory has been completely broken. Because there are no orders, the workers are all on holiday at home.
The drugs could not be sold, and the workers’ wages could not be paid, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
But how could Kong Manzhu be willing to do this? No matter how high the price, she would make Lin Yunxi and even her factory pay a heavy price.
This obsession was like a raging flood, devouring her mind bit by bit.
Faced with the problem of factory funds, Kong Manzhu could only go home and cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang herself, seeking help from her father and brother.
Because she was the only daughter in the family, and his wife and son persuaded him, Kong's father finally compromised.
As for the children born to Kong's father's ex-wife, he had long since disowned them.
Although he did make some mistakes, how could a child ignore his parents' reputation and make a big fuss about the matter, making him a laughing stock for several years?
In addition to taking out most of the family savings, Kong's father also went to the bank to help him borrow a sum of money, using the current factory as collateral.
This allowed the already shaky factory to regain its footing, and with this money it could survive for another two or three months.
On the first day that Lin Yunxi came to Beijing, Kong Manzhu learned about this matter through her spies in Province Z.
Jing City is her base camp. Her father, brother and her father's former subordinates are basically all in Jing City.
Kong Manzhu originally wanted to go all out and kill Lin Yunxi and her son without any chance of return.
But just when she was about to take action, General Song appeared from nowhere and took great care of that bitch.
Kong Manzhu couldn't find any opportunity to take action. She was so angry about it, but she had no choice but to start her next plan.
Kong Manzhu called the secretary and asked directly: "How is the matter going? Did she agree?"
"Agreed."
