Chapter 305 Flight
Su Tong also became serious.
"You mean, your cousin is the victim in this case."
Song Shaoyang nodded. "The man has been arrested for half a year and has not been sentenced yet. I come here from time to time to keep an eye on him."
Su Tong didn't say anything. His mind was suddenly a little confused. He just felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
Song Shaoyang was not a person who didn't understand. Seeing Su Tong was silent, he said:
"It's okay! Since you've been entrusted by someone, just pass on the message! Don't get involved with them again. There's no need to have any dealings with a family that can commit such a thing!"
Su Tong nodded.
The waiter started serving the dishes. Song Shaoyang placed the tableware on her table and changed the topic.
"Some time ago, I talked to my uncle in Hubei Province on the phone. He said that the medicine made from your prescription is selling very well, and it's a pity to only sell it to him. He asked me if it's possible to put it on the production line of the pharmaceutical factory?"
"Oh! On the production line? Is that possible?"
Su Tong's attention was indeed attracted. Her prescriptions were all commonly used and essential medicines in later generations. It would be better if they could be put on the production line. Not only would the production process be more secure, but it would also benefit more patients.
“I’ve been striving for it!”
Song Shaoyang sighed and said, "You don't know! The system of our pharmaceutical factory is too rigid, with too many rules and regulations. It is extremely difficult to launch a new drug. The old leaders' ideas are rigid and they can't accept any changes. I have a lot of enthusiasm, but unfortunately I have nowhere to express it..."
Song Shaoyang dragged out his voice, with a frustrated expression...
Su Tong looked at him, blinked, and then asked cautiously: "Can't you... do it yourself?"
"What...what? Say it again?" Song Shaoyang seemed not to hear clearly and asked.
"I say, if possible, you might as well do it yourself! That way you can make your own decisions!"
Su Tong is a little unsure about the current policy. Reform and opening up was officially proposed in 1978, and it is only the beginning of 1977...
"Hey! Otherwise I think you're getting along well! Your words can touch my heart!"
Song Shaoyang slapped his thigh and said happily.
"What a pity! The policy does not allow it! There is no precedent! If an individual interferes with the state-owned economy, it is a 'capitalist tail'. I mentioned it once at home and the old man chased me and beat me for a long time!"
Song Shaoyang picked up the serving chopsticks and added some food to Su Tong's bowl, then said:
"But I am happy to hear your words, sister! It proves that my idea is not a fantasy, right!"
Su Tong thought for a while and said, "Besides your Jingshi Pharmaceutical Factory, there should be many small pharmaceutical factories under it, right? They are not state-owned enterprises, but collectively owned, such as those street factories or something like that."
"Yes! Quite a few! Most of them are dying, and it's even harder to get anything done. Not to mention new drugs, the drugs we can produce are almost gone."
Su Tong didn't say anything else, just lowered his head and ate in silence.
"Wait! Sister! What do you mean? Tell me now!"
Su Tong swallowed a mouthful of rice, looked up and asked him: "With your current position, if you can be transferred to a small pharmaceutical factory and become a factory director... it should still be feasible!"
Song Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands, "Right! Why didn't I think of that! I am the factory director, so I have the final say! I can produce whatever I want! You are right to remind me, sister!"
"There are two prerequisites. First, the factory cannot be too weak, and the production lines and production qualifications must be complete. Second, you must ensure that you have a say when you go there. If you are not the factory director, you must be the deputy director in charge of production."
Su Tong reminded him slowly while eating.
Song Shaoyang's eyes lit up, "Sister, you are serious, right? You think it's feasible, right? I've made a note of it! I'll go and arrange the transfer when I get back!"
Su Tong nodded and said, "I think it is feasible! There are many collectively owned pharmaceutical factories that lack research funds and talents, and are unable to develop new drugs. The production of existing drugs lacks competitiveness, and the production lines and workers cannot be utilized. If you can have a say and bring new drug formulas, you can not only revitalize a factory, but also do what you like. What's wrong with that?"
Although Su Tong had never conducted an on-site investigation, she was familiar with the history and even knew the future development direction of several large pharmaceutical factories in Beijing.
Considering that there is still more than a year before the reform and opening-up policy will be fully implemented, Beijing Pharmaceutical Factory, as the country's leading pharmaceutical factory, will only be gradually restructured and will not be privatized.
For a young man like Song Shaoyang who is energetic and has ideas, it would be better for him to become a leader in a small collectively owned factory. On the one hand, he can have a say immediately; on the other hand, once the policy comes out next year, the factory can be contracted out or bought out, which saves a lot compared to investing in a new factory at that time.
Song Shaoyang was so excited at this moment, "Sister, you eat first! I have to make a phone call! You eat slowly!"
Having said that, he ran out in a hurry, and no one knew where he went to make the call.
When he came back, Su Tong had already finished eating and was waiting for him.
He excitedly pulled Su Tong and left.
"Sister, are you free this afternoon? Come on! I'll take you for a ride!"
"Alas—I don't want to go for a ride!"
"Go pick up Old Man Wen by the way! You've come all this way, it would be inappropriate not to meet him!"
"Where to pick it up?"
"Airport!"
——————
Beijing Airport is more than 30 kilometers away from the city.
Song Shaoyang was not idle along the way and talked to Su Tong about some of his plans and ideas.
Only then did Su Tong realize that Song Shaoyang was not impulsive. He had been thinking about these things for a long time.
All it takes is an opportunity.
Professor Wen's plane arrives at 4pm.
It was not yet three o'clock when they arrived.
It was still early, and after Song Shaoyang parked the car, a young man came up to him and greeted him. It seemed that he was waiting for him.
Song Shaoyang proudly introduced Su Tong to him, "This is my sister Su Tong."
Su Tong didn't know how she became his sister, but she didn't refute it in front of others.
Song Shaoyang turned to Su Tong and said, "This is my best friend, Qi Dongxu."
Then he lowered his voice and said, "One of my future partners."
Su Tong nodded to show that he understood.
The three of them greeted each other and sat down in the restaurant opposite the airport exit. There were several booths here, and they could order a cup of tea and sit down while waiting for people.
Song Shaoyang and Qi Dongxu seemed to have other things to do, so they ordered tea and snacks and asked Su Tong to sit here for a while. They would be back soon.
The airport looks empty and deserted, probably because there are not many flights.
As the radio announced, a flight arrived.
After a while, people began to pour out of the airport exit.
There were no large screen displays at the airport at that time, and flight arrival information could only be announced manually. There was a large bulletin board on the exit side, and staff would come forward from time to time to change information such as flight arrivals or delays.
Su Tong sat in a booth drinking tea and watched all this with great interest.
At this time, a girl in a red coat came out from the exit. She had long curly hair and red lips. She looked very fashionable and beautiful.
