The father-in-law and son-in-law continued to drink.
Old Man Gu took a bite of his food and said, "There's one thing I can't understand. Why didn't the pharmaceutical companies react at all this time? That can't be right. They're making a lot of money."
Chen Xia smiled contemptuously: "So much protection money was paid in vain. It won't be so easy to cooperate with you again in the future."
"Forget it. Bao Yong is a decent guy. He didn't give you any trouble with the final payment this time, and there were no problems during the account check. This means he left some room for maneuver. Maybe he's just old and afraid of death."
Chen Xia sighed like his father-in-law: "My money, my 200,000 yuan profit a month."
It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel heartbroken. This incident also gave Chen Xia some new ideas. It seemed that if he wanted to open a pharmaceutical company in China, the identity of a hospital alone was far from enough. He needed more identities.
Abroad? Hong Kong?
I have to find a way out...
Chen Xia was still daydreaming, and Gu Lin was dissatisfied. "Dad, Second Chen, why are you two sighing? If you don't want to be affiliated with a pharmaceutical company, you can be affiliated with our own hospital."
Mother Gu nodded. "I think it's okay. Not to mention selling it elsewhere, even our hospital will have a lot of sales. People with stomach problems will come here on their own initiative, and it will also boost the gastroenterology department's business, right?"
When Mr. Gu heard that it could increase business, he became interested.
Chen Xia also nodded slightly. "When the east is dark, the west will be bright. Once this storm has passed, I will open a pharmaceutical factory under the name of the Fourth Hospital. After all, the secret formula is in my hands, so who can I rely on? If it really doesn't work out, the Qingfeng Village collective is also an option."
When Chen Xia thought of this, his mood improved a lot, and he complained less about the unfairness of the pharmaceutical company.
At this time, the camera moves back to Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company.
Bao Yong was answering the phone. The call was from Huang Qiang, the general manager of the provincial pharmaceutical company. Huang Qiang was one of the mothers-in-law of Yuezhou Hospital Company and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Old Bao, what's going on? I've been asking for this Sanliu Weitai for several days, but it hasn't been delivered yet?"
Beads of sweat broke out on Bao Yong's forehead. "Manager Huang, this is what happened. We're having a campaign in Yuezhou lately, so we've closed the branch that produces Sanliu Weitai."
The voice on the other end of the phone rose a notch. "Shut it down! You're just going to shut down such a great product? Are you, Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company, lacking in brains or in heart?"
Bao Yong began to sweat more: "No, no, the order for closure was from Han Dingze, the Commissioner of Yuezhou..."
Manager Huang was puzzled. "Why? Could it be that Commissioner Han dared to shut down even a state-owned factory?"
"It's like this. This branch is actually just affiliated with our Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company. It's actually a private pharmaceutical factory. We had an agreement before. We handled all the formalities for him, and he gave all his products to us for exclusive sales."
Huang Qiang's voice rose twice. "What nonsense! Is it no longer a state-owned factory if it's affiliated with a company? Such excellent medicines prove that this branch factory has strong technical capabilities. Why don't you stop it? At least help this branch factory out a little bit?"
Bao Yong was sweating profusely, "I, I, I..."
Huang Qiang understood immediately, "You don't dare to offend Commissioner Han, right? So you're willing to close this branch factory to save your job. But do you know how many provincial leaders and veteran cadres are waiting to use this medicine? Aren't you afraid of offending the province?"
When Bao Yong heard this, his mouth opened wide and he wanted to slap himself in the face.
"Boss, the factory has been closed. All equipment and factory buildings have been sealed. We can't produce anymore."
Huang Qiang held the phone and wanted to smash it hard on Bao Yong's face. "Bao Yong, Bao Yong, what you did really disappointed the provincial company."
After saying that, the phone was hung up. Bao Yong was now regretting his decision. "It's over, it's over..."
At the same time, Zhang Guozhi was not having a good time either. The pharmaceutical company was flooded with calls from all over the place demanding delivery of goods.
Zhang Guozhi: "Manager Qi, there's really nothing we can do. The pharmaceutical factory that produces Sanliu Weitai has been sealed off and shut down. Yes, that's the decision of the Prefectural Party Committee. There's nothing we can do about it."
Manager Qi of the Yongbo City Pharmaceutical Company asked, "Have you, the Yuezhou Prefectural Committee, lost your minds? You don't even want such a good pharmaceutical company anymore?"
…
Zhang Guozhi: "President Wu, we're out of stock now. There's not a single drop of stock left. The pharmaceutical factory has been sealed off..."
Director Wu of the Provincial Hospital asked: "What the hell are you doing in Yuezhou?"
…
Throughout the day, Zhang Guozhi received countless calls urging for delivery and heard countless scoldings. He felt so wronged that he almost cried out loud.
Deputy General Manager Cai Hongjun and Gu Wei, as well as all the cadres, big and small, of Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company, also felt that something was wrong.
Bao Yong and Zhang Guozhi had a certain vision and discovered early on the magic of Chen Xia's "stomach pills", as well as how much profit it could generate for the pharmaceutical company and how much honor it could bring to individuals.
However, their vision was not far-sighted enough. They did not realize how serious the shortage of medical care and medicines in the country was in the early 1980s.
Now, a miracle drug with extraordinary clinical efficacy has finally appeared. Both doctors and patients treat it like a treasure. As a result, pharmaceutical companies retreat when encountering difficulties.
It doesn't matter if you retreat, but if the medicine is gone, won't your superiors give you trouble?
What was originally a good thing and a political achievement was turned into a life-threatening shackle, making him unpopular both internally and externally, and unable to please anyone.
Manager Bao still hoped that the matter would end there, and at most he would be criticized over the phone.
As a result, the matter became more and more serious. The provincial pharmaceutical company purchased this batch of "Sanliu Weitai" not only to supply some hospitals in the provincial capital, but also to supply the Provincial Health Care Bureau.
This bureau is specifically responsible for the medical and health care of the province's current leaders and retired cadres. Simply put, it does not have much power, but its influence is significant.
Most of the provincial leaders in the early 1980s came from the Anti-Japanese War era before liberation. Back then, marching and fighting were so hard that people were so hungry that they even ate grass roots. Therefore, almost all of these leading cadres had stomach problems.
It turned out that I had stomach problems, stomach pain, acid reflux, and felt uncomfortable all over. Taking a Sanliu Weitai pill solved the problem immediately.
And according to the instructions, a course of treatment of seven days can prevent stomach problems from occurring for a long time.
As a result, the provincial pharmaceutical company now says that it is out of stock, because Yuezhou has closed the pharmaceutical factory.
When the news came out, the provincial leaders were in an uproar.
If the current provincial leaders would just sit back and wait, the veteran cadres would not be polite. They would pick up the phone and call the Yuezhou Prefectural Committee one by one.
