Pumpkin Vine Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company opened for business and started production.
The actual investment of HK$150 million is the largest foreign investment in the history of Zhijiang Province. This is of great significance to Zhijiang, an agricultural province.
This marked the beginning of reform and opening up in Zhijiang Province, and it was no longer the exclusive domain of Dongguan Province and Min Province.
Therefore, at the opening ceremony, many officials including Xu Hongtai, the second-in-command of Zhijiang Province, Li Bingquan, the stenographer of the Yuezhou Prefectural Committee, and Han Dingze, the commissioner, all attended in person.
At the same time, the chairman of Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, Chen Defa, general manager Chen Shuqin, the Hong Kong manager of Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory, Ye Shirong, the Chinese manager Chen Qiaogu and other management were also present.
Professor Gregory, director of the gastroenterology department at Wellington Hospital in England, Chris Grayling, manager of GlaxoSmithKline, and seven or eight other white-skinned, blond-haired foreigners also stood on the stage.
These white people added an absolute "international flavor" to the opening ceremony. At least in the news photos, these white people were almost treated as the "protagonists".
Since the 1980s, there has been a very bad trend in the country.
No matter what festival is opening or what project is launching, some foreigners must be invited to attend, as if this is the only way to show internationalization and high-end.
What to do if there are no foreign businessmen? Just find a few foreign teachers and put them on the stage, and it will look like the real thing.
Ahem, should I say this is self-esteem or inferiority?
However, Pumpkin Vine Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company did not have such a need. It was just a coincidence that the English guests took the initiative to ask to attend the opening ceremony, and Chen Xia could not refuse, right?
The plant planning and factory building design of the Pumpkin Vine Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory are all planned according to the most advanced concepts, and all the pharmaceutical equipment are, ahem, imported from abroad.
This time, five production lines were initially put into use, two for amoxicillin, one for clarithromycin, one for omeprazole, and one for bismuth.
The reason why Amoxicillin has an extra production line is that there is a severe shortage of antibiotics in China. Even the only antibiotics available, such as streptomycin and tetracycline, are either not effective enough or have too many side effects.
Amoxicillin and clarithromycin can be used separately as antibiotics, so if we have one more production line, we won’t have to worry about sales at all, as we can sell as many drugs as we produce.
In order to show formality, all employees must wear uniform, including hats and masks. Employee training has been completed. As soon as the opening ceremony is over, the machines will be powered on and production will begin immediately.
Xu Hongtai, Li Bingquan, Han Dingze and their group, accompanied by Chen Defa, visited the pharmaceutical factory and nodded frequently.
Especially Xu Hongtai, the look he gave Chen Xia now was extremely complicated. At first, the family looked down on this poor country boy, so they never considered him as a son-in-law.
As a result, this poor boy has transformed himself into not only the youngest deputy division-level cadre in the province, but also a researcher of an international medical invention.
In addition, he has the powerful Hong Kong capital as his background. If he had the ability at the beginning, he would be fully qualified to be the son-in-law of their Xu family.
Unfortunately, it's too late...
As a father, Xu Hongtai felt extremely sad when he thought about his daughter's unhappy life far away abroad.
Yes, the Xu family and the Li family are married.
Xu Yuan also went to study in the United States with the boy from the Li family, and agreed to get married after graduating from university.
But from the gossip he heard, the two of them had different personalities and were now minding their own business abroad, not attending the same university nor living together.
Perhaps Xu Yuan hated the family's arrangement back then, so she hasn't returned to China for so many years and hasn't had a good talk with her family about her current situation.
Xu Hongtai knew something about her situation from her occasional crying calls to her brother Xu Rui, but he was powerless to do anything. What father in the world doesn't want his children to be happy?
Unconsciously, Xu Hongtai fell into deep thought. He even had a perverse idea. Maybe if he supported Chen Xia's career in China, the two children might have a chance to rekindle their old relationship?
Anyway, everyone in the big family basically does their own thing and is just a couple in name only. As long as his daughter is happy, he doesn't mind certain things.
"Director Xu, Director Xu?"
"Oh, Chairman Chen, what did you just say? Sorry, I'm shocked by the modern equipment in your pharmaceutical factory, haha."
Chen Defa smiled and said, "I am very grateful that Director Xu can personally attend our company's opening ceremony. It's almost noon now, and we have already held a banquet at the Longshan Hotel. Please be sure to attend, Director Xu."
"Of course, of course. Mr. Chen has made such an outstanding contribution to the development of our hometown. On behalf of the people of the entire province, I can't thank you enough, haha."
Top political and business leaders were interacting here, and Chen Xia, as a "supporting role", could not come to the front today, so he was keeping an eye on the production.
The opening of the pharmaceutical factory was not only a landmark event for Chen Xia, but also a sign that Pumpkin Vine was beginning to move towards physical expansion.
At the same time, it is also a great benefit to Yuezhou's local economy.
For example, the packaging and printing of medicines were handed over to the "Yuezhou Luggage Factory", "Yuezhou Printing Factory" and "Yuezhou Glass Factory". This is a large order, enough to support three factories.
At the same time, the pharmaceutical factory itself took over most of the employees of its predecessor, "Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory", which also solved a major burden for the region.
In addition, the company that benefited the most was Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company, because they controlled the channels for wholesale and sales of medicines, so the medicines produced by the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory were handed over to them for external sale.
This is actually the same model as the original 666 Weitai. By plucking feathers from passing geese, Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company is expected to make more than tens of millions a year from the price difference alone.
Even the "Yuezhou Transport Company" can get a piece of the pie.
Because the transportation of raw materials from pharmaceutical factories and the external sales of medicines require logistics transportation, and these days only their transportation company has this ability, so this money is what they can earn.
The Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory can not only solve the difficulties of state-owned factories, but also provide employment and generate a large amount of tax revenue and profits. Such a precious gem is simply the apple of the eye of the Yuezhou region, and it must be protected in every possible way.
Of course, in a few years, as the business environment becomes more open, Pumpkin Vine Yuezhou Company will definitely open up its own sales channels, at least allowing pharmaceutical companies in various provinces to purchase goods from the pharmaceutical factory themselves without having to go through other people.
In economics, channels are king.
Take it one step at a time.
Chen Xia's goal is to become the "King of Yuezhou" and the largest capitalist in Yuezhou. In the future, the number of Yuezhou people who directly rely on him for their livelihood should ideally be hundreds of thousands, and the number of people indirectly affected should reach over one million.
With these, his personal safety and property can be secured. No one dares to touch him. Touching him would be touching everyone's cheese.
So next, he will accelerate the industrial layout in Yuezhou, not just in the pharmaceutical sector.
