The domestic business environment is really hard to describe.
In addition to Chen Xia's two-pronged approach of domestic and international development, placing his eggs in two baskets, the development of the mainland also requires a two-pronged approach.
The first step is to develop our own core industries. Of course, this core industry only refers to the production base, and the R&D center should still be located in Hong Kong.
As the world's factory, at least before 2010, the mainland's labor costs and production costs were the most affordable.
However, since 2010, the crazy land and housing prices in the country, coupled with the annual increase in workers' wages, and many other inexplicable fees, have made it impossible for the mainland to become the "world factory".
The increase in production costs means a decrease in profits, but this is only one aspect.
On the other hand, after the reform and opening up, capital in the mainland began to rise, and in order to achieve their goals, many people would use many shady business tricks that could not be made public.
In order to deal with possible underhanded tactics, protect your own property, and run a business with peace of mind, there is actually another good way besides using the guise of foreign capital.
That is to make ourselves bigger and stronger.
This kind of growth and development is not like the virtual economy of Taobao. To put it bluntly, this area is not high-tech and can be completely replaced by others, and it is also entirely possible for others to take over and control it.
At least no one treats Amazon as a real tech company.
Chen Xia is going to take a comprehensive route towards the real economy.
To put it bluntly, not only the pharmaceutical factory needs to be vigorously developed, but all local enterprises in Yuezhou must also participate, such as the economic pillars of Yuezhou: the textile industry and the rice wine industry.
In later generations, Yuezhou had the world's largest textile trading market, the China Textile City. This shows the proportion of textiles in the economy and how many Yuezhou people rely on textiles for their livelihood.
Since the 1980s, Yuezhou's state-owned textile factories have been in overall losses, so Chen Xia can definitely take over.
The textile industry is labor-intensive and requires a large number of workers. Similarly, the rice wine industry faced many difficulties in the 1980s and 1990s, and many workers were laid off.
What Chen Xia has to do is to make large-scale acquisitions, accepting all offers, and finally develop his own textile factory and rice wine factory. How many workers will he have to support?
In addition, he will also develop compound Chinese patent medicines, such as 666 Weitai, 666 Feitai, etc.
Then let the farmers grow Chinese herbal medicines, and he will buy all the herbs they grow. Then how many farmers will rely on him for their livelihood?
One day, when "Pumpkin Vine" almost takes up half of Yuezhou's economy, hundreds of thousands of workers and farmers will rely directly on "Pumpkin Vine Company" for their livelihood, and the hundreds of thousands of family members behind it will even affect millions of Yuezhou people.
If Pumpkin Vine were to go bankrupt, cease operations, or withdraw its investment, hundreds of thousands of families would be plunged into hardship, and millions would be left without food. Who could bear the consequences of such a serious situation? Who would dare to be responsible for the social instability that would result?
When that day really comes, Chen Xia will be completely "invincible". No one can do anything to him. Who dares to touch him?
Uh, wait, maybe by this day, Chen Xia himself will be a member of "capital", and it would be good enough if he doesn't eat others. Sweat...
Chen Xia sat in the Longshan Hotel, waiting for her aunt and Chris Grayling, the manager of GlaxoSmithKline, and his group, while her mind was wandering.
Readers should not blame him for being too timid or having persecution complexes. Just look at the endings of so many richest people on the "Pig Killing List"; he can't help but be nervous.
What? The richest man in Qingfeng Village is no longer the richest man?
Today is the day for formal negotiations between Pumpkin Vine and GlaxoSmithKline, and one of the main agenda items is the transfer of Margaret Hospital.
After a while, Chris Grayling arrived in the meeting room.
There were only four people present at the scene: Chen Shuqin, Chen Xia, Chris Grayling, and Professor Gregory. The conversation was relatively private because Chen Xia did not want to expose his background in China.
Chris Grayling speaks directly and directly like a European or American:
"Chen, regarding the transfer of Margaret Hospital, we have no objection to the transfer price. 500 million Hong Kong dollars is an acceptable offer. We are not planning to increase the price, but we have additional conditions..."
Chen Xia thought, 500 million Hong Kong dollars could almost buy more than 20 Yuezhou People’s Hospitals.
What is expensive in Hong Kong is land, but the hospital’s land cannot be converted into commercial land, so its value is not high.
In addition, the buildings, examination equipment and instruments in the hospital are all second-hand. If they really want to pack them up and take them away, how much can they get for them?
To put it bluntly, for a hospital, the most valuable thing is talent. High-level doctors, nurses and medical technicians are the foundation of a hospital.
To put it bluntly, doctors and nurses are not ancillary products of Margaret Hospital and cannot be sold as assets. They are free to come and go.
So HK$500 million is not a high price for Margaret Hospital, but it is not a low price either. If it is really a hot commodity, will it be Pumpkin Vine's turn to take over?
Chen Xia smiled. "Chris Grayling, I like to be straightforward. If you are willing to transfer the hospital to us without even raising the price, you must have some needs. Tell me."
"Chen, what if I say we want to use Margaret Hospital in exchange for the patent for omeprazole?"
"Haha, Mr. Chris, you really know how to joke."
Chen Xia would have to be crazy to agree to trade a hospital for a patent worth billions, or even tens of billions. 500 million Hong Kong dollars is only a few thousand US dollars.
Chris Grayling shrugged.
"Chen, our two companies are allies, aren't they? Since we're willing to give you priority in supplying all of our drugs and equipment, and are willing to help you with your Nobel Prize publicity, you have to show us your friendship."
Chen Shuqin continued, "Chris, we're giving away 0.8% of the patent fee. That's not a small amount."
“Greedy capitalists always ask for too much.”
Hahaha, the four of them all laughed. Chen Xia liked this frank way of conversation. The Chinese way of conversation was really not suitable for him as a science student.
In my previous life, there was a TV series called "Jiajing 1566". Every line of the characters in it can be extended to many meanings, and even a whole paper can be written. It is so painful to watch that it makes people feel like dying and their brain cells die.
"Chris Grayling, I think we can do this. The patent for omeprazole can't be transferred for nothing, but I can exchange the patent for clarithromycin for your Margaret Hospital. What do you think?"
"Xiao Xia, you..."
Chen Shuqin was about to speak to stop her, but was interrupted by Chen Xia waving his hand.
"Clarithromycin is an upgraded version of erythromycin. It's widely used clinically, not just for treating stomach problems. It's also very effective against mycoplasma infections. What do you think? Are you willing to exchange?"
