This is the first Spring Festival that Chen Xia has celebrated since her rebirth, and it is also the first Spring Festival that the Chen sisters have celebrated without their parents.
This was also the first time for Zhan Aiju, Fang Meizhen and Shen Huishan to celebrate the Spring Festival in Yuezhou, and it was also the best Spring Festival they had ever celebrated in their lives.
In the past, in my hometown, we couldn’t eat meat during the Chinese New Year, there were no new clothes, no radios, and the whole family would gather around a small fire pit to keep warm.
But they are still very grateful to their parents for giving them, girls, a chance to go to school no matter how difficult it was. At least their lives have been completely changed.
If they hadn't studied, they would have been mothers of several children in their hometown.
Everyone at the table was very happy, eating big chunks of meat and drinking big gulps of wine, and in the end everyone was drunk.
Chen Qiu and Chen Dong welcomed the New Year's bell while taking care of these five drunkards.
Ding, ding, ding~~~The old-fashioned clock rang, and the tragic year of 1980 passed for the Chen family.
The next day is New Year's Day.
Chen Xia sat in the living room early in the morning and gave everyone New Year's money.
Chen Chun gave 1,000 yuan, Chen Qiu gave 200 yuan, and Chen Dong only gave 5 yuan. Fortunately, Chen Dong had no idea how much money his two sisters took, otherwise he would definitely die in front of Chen Xia.
Even Zhan Aiju and her friends received a big red envelope of 100 yuan, which was the most money they had ever seen in their lives. The three of them were so shocked that they screamed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Chen Xia wanted to leave some traces of friendship. These three people were not only her eldest sister's best classmates, but also the future chief professors of the hospital. If she could establish good relationships with them now, it might be useful in the future.
Just like Chen Chun, don't underestimate her because she is just an academician, but her influence and academic authority mean that basically any drug that catches her eye means that the pharmaceutical company can reap the benefits.
Even a small department head can completely decide the life or death of a certain drug in a department. For example, if there are two or three drugs of the same type, it is very important to decide which one to use and which one not to use.
Some rely on personal connections, some rely on money, but in the 1980s, when everyone met each other at a humble age, this kind of friendship was the most unbreakable.
If Chen Xia stops being a doctor and decides to be a "drug dealer" in the future, at least he can do whatever he wants in the hospital and department where the four sisters work.
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Better to deceive an old man with an old beard than to deceive a young man with a poor face. One day a dragon will marry a phoenix, but I don't believe in a lifetime of holes in my pants.
Then the four Chen siblings rode two bicycles back to Qingfeng Village.
The villagers in Qingfeng Village were having a particularly good time this year. Chen Xia had harvested grain and fat pigs several times, which allowed them to make a small profit. In addition, after the contract responsibility system was implemented, the whole village finally had enough food to eat.
Therefore, if you want to know whether a reform is good or not, you should first ask the farmers; they have the most say.
When the villagers saw Chen Xia and his four siblings coming back, they all greeted them warmly and were as affectionate as they could be.
The four of them greeted each other along the way and first went to the home of their fourth grandfather Chen Yigen to pay New Year's greetings. Then Chen Chun and the others went back to the old house to clean up, while Chen Xia stayed and took out gifts.
"Happy New Year, Fourth Grandpa! Here are two bottles of Moutai liquor. Keep them well. The older they age, the better they taste and the more valuable they are. Here are two Daqianmen bottles. Here are some cakes I bought from the provincial capital. Here's some malted milk. And here are some White Rabbit candies for my brothers and sisters..."
Chen Xia brought out a bunch of gifts, which made the old man laugh out loud.
Chen Yigen was not after the food and drinks. He was just happy that Chen Xia still respected him even after becoming a cadre. What he wanted most was face, and Chen Xia gave him enough.
"Xiao Xia, what new plans do you have this year?"
"Fourth Grandpa, I actually have a plan. You see, our village also has mountains. I wonder if we can co-found a pharmaceutical factory with the village in the future."
The old man was shocked. "What? Opening a pharmaceutical factory? Does the government allow private companies to open factories now?"
"That's not allowed, so we have to find a place to affiliate ourselves. I'll provide the money, the machinery, the technology, and use the village's name to run the factory. I can then find sales myself. The village doesn't have to do anything, I'll just give them 10% of the profits. And when I open a factory, I'll definitely need to recruit workers, and then we can let people from our village get paid and work as workers."
Chen Yigen's face flickered with surprise and delight as he heard this. He whispered, "What if the factory is established and someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it?"
"Hey, Fourth Grandpa, do you know why I want to build the factory in our village? It's because Qingfeng Village is under the control of our Chen family. Will our village take my factory away? If that day really comes, I can just withdraw my investment and open it somewhere else."
Chen Yigen slammed the table and said, "Bullshit! If you dare give this good thing to other villages, I will never forgive you. It can give the village a dividend and let the villagers work and earn money. Why not do it? I'll do as you say."
Chen Xia smiled like a little fox. This was just an idea of his.
As the reform slowly enters the deep water zone, opening up private enterprises is also the general trend. Even if it is only affiliated with the village now, isn’t Qingfeng Village still controlled by their Chen family?
When the policy is completely opened up, he can just take back all the shares. At most, he can subsidize the village with a sum of money, which will be used for the Chen family, so it is not a loss.
Even if something unexpected happens and the factory is taken away under various pretexts, the production technology, raw materials, and sales channels are all in our hands. Whoever takes it away will only get an empty shell. What use is there for it?
"Fourth Grandfather, this is just a preliminary idea of mine. We need to discuss the specifics when we get there. I'm not setting up this factory to make money, but purely to help the Chen family of Qingfeng Village become rich sooner and give back to the folks. So please keep it a secret for now."
Chen Xia first tried to fool Fourth Grandpa. If he really didn't want to make money, why would he set up a factory?
Chen Yigen smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Come and tell me when you have some idea."
In fact, Chen Xia's "village-run factory" is also risky. If the higher authorities come to audit the accounts, where will most of the profits go? It is hard to say.
Because in theory, Chen Xia cannot withdraw profits from the "village-run factory" account. That would be illegal and constitute corruption.
However, Chen Xia also has a solution. Since the profits cannot be withdrawn at will, he can make money from the raw materials.
At that time, we will significantly increase the price of raw materials and then "sell" them to pharmaceutical factories. The profit after production will be enough to distribute dividends to the village and the Fourth Hospital. If we are really ruthless, we can even make a loss every month.
It's just a matter of transferring from left hand to right hand.
As for where the raw materials come from?
With the golden finger of Space Hospital, everything is free. Even if the pharmacy has no stock, the medicine warehouse has everything.
At that time, we can make a "compound medicine" that combines Chinese and Western medicine, and use it to disguise itself as Chinese medicine, so that Western medicine can play its true therapeutic role. It would be strange if the effect is not good.
Isn’t this what all the Chinese patent medicine companies did in later generations? They all made a fortune.
