Chapter 303: Go to Zhongshan instead of Baoan
Lin Sanqi gave a valuable gift, and it was obvious that he didn't just want the two drugs, rifampicin and ethambutol.
The School of Pharmacy of Huadu Medical University, as one of the top universities in China, is a treasure trove. It has information on almost all drugs in the world, including those Western medicines that are still under patent protection.
Of course, the university possesses these drug data mainly for scientific research purposes.
Just like nuclear weapons, I may not need them, but I must master the formulas and processes of all the drugs, so that when the critical moment comes, I can directly take them and start production immediately.
Like India, no matter whether it's a drug or not, patented or not, I'll just copy it first if I want to use it. First, let my citizens be able to afford medicine and cure diseases, so what if the government bears some blame?
Alas, does such a government have shame or no shame?
Lin Sanqi likes to be shameless, and he even decided to be more shameless. Doesn't he have the huge advantage of traveling through two eras and being decades ahead? So he decided to intercept the patents of some of the most profitable drugs.
At worst, they can license it for free in China, or sell it at a low price, and then increase the patent fees abroad, exchanging the patent for gold.
This business is definitely a sure win.
The best example is Qualcomm in the United States.
Qualcomm has more than 140,000 granted patents and patent applications covering a wide range of technologies, including patents essential to 4G and 5G cellular standards, as well as innovations in mobile phone performance in key areas such as power, graphics, RF, and cameras.
In other words, mobile phone manufacturers around the world have to pay patent fees to Qualcomm, and it just makes money without doing anything.
Thinking that he might also become an international pharmaceutical patent giant, Lin Sanqi laughed again and took out a box of Cordyceps sinensis and placed it on Dean Zhang's desk.
Dean Zhang was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly:
"Xiao Lin, please don't be like this. You're giving me antiques and Cordyceps. I'm scared. If you have any questions, just tell me. You're an outstanding alumnus of our school. As long as the school can do something, we will definitely do our best to help."
Dean Zhang does like antiques, but he likes his own dean's throne even more.
If it is a normal favor, he will accept it, but if it involves an exchange of interests, he would never dare to accept it, at least not in the office. Isn't that courting death?
Lin Sanqi smiled and said:
"It's like this, President Zhang. Our Lingnantang Company is planning to build a new pharmaceutical factory. In addition, my African clients also need to build some new pharmaceutical production lines. There are too many issues involving drug patents and drug production.
You see, I graduated with a clinical degree, so I know how to use it, but I don't know how to make medicine. So I still need a lot of information on medicine. Um, uh, can you open up the database of our School of Pharmacy to me, hehe."
Dean Zhang was relieved when he heard this, but at the same time, an idea came to his mind, and he said slowly:
"Xiao Lin, if you want to produce medicines, there are many problems involved, such as the principles, processes, equipment, and quality control of pharmaceutical production. As an outsider, you don't understand these, right?"
Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly. This was the knowledge he lacked.
"No, the above points aren't enough. If you want to make medicine, you must master the formulation and testing methods of drug quality standards, right? Otherwise, how can you ensure the quality and safety of the drugs? Right?"
Lin Sanqi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"There is another key point, which is also the most easily overlooked by entrepreneurs like you, and that is the knowledge and skills in the procurement, storage, distribution, and use of pharmaceutical raw materials, excipients, and packaging materials.
This area is crucial to your pharmaceutical company's cost control, and it's also the most critical point where you, as the boss, are most vulnerable to deception, leading to internal corruption and rising costs. At this time, you need an insider, someone close to you, to help you with the strict controls, right?
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that professional matters should indeed be left to professionals, and he had thought that pharmaceutical manufacturing was too simple.
"Dean Zhang, Teacher Zhang, what you said is absolutely right. It's so good. These are things I hadn't thought of before."
Dean Zhang stood up, poured Lin Sanqi a glass of water himself, then sat down on the sofa next to Lin Sanqi and said enthusiastically:
"So, Xiaolin, you can't go it alone right now. So, let me introduce you to some talented people. They are all doctoral students I personally supervise. They are top-notch both domestically and internationally in terms of both personal ability and professional level.
Bring these PhDs home and they'll tell you whatever pharmaceutical knowledge you need, including how to make pharmaceuticals, how to apply for patents, and how to conduct pharmaceutical experiments. They're all professional and top-notch."
Lin Sanqi was persuaded and deeply moved.
Dean Zhang's words touched his heart. He has many plans for the future, such as setting up a traditional Chinese medicine factory in 2013, which requires pharmaceutical talents.
For example, the production of rifampicin or any other medicine in 1960 also required the guidance of professional and technical personnel.
Medicines are very professional. Sometimes you can't produce medicines just by having an instruction manual. Problems may occur in the production line, production materials, and production process, and professional technicians are needed to help solve them.
It seems that I really need to recruit some pharmaceutical talents, and it is a top priority.
Dean Zhang saw Lin Sanqi in deep thought and thought he was hesitating, so he decided to add fuel to the fire:
"Xiao Lin, let me tell you, for an entrepreneur like you who has no foundation, if you want to enter the pharmaceutical production industry, you must have the support of your own people. Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, it will not be enough for outsiders to cheat you. Don't you agree?
You see, we at Huadu Medical University are your family. Your seniors are your closest relatives. With them to help you, you will be the commander-in-chief and I will be your deputy. Why worry about the unrest in the world?"
Lin Sanqi came to his senses at this time and thought to himself, I want to be a boss and make money, not be a rebel in the Three Kingdoms and fight for the world.
"Dean Zhang, the senior brothers and sisters you introduced are..."
"Yes, I'll let you meet them. They are all my doctoral students. This time I have three of them, two men and one woman. I'll call them and have them come over now."
Dean Zhang worked so hard to introduce his students to Lin Sanqi, but he actually had a selfish motive, which was to help his students find the best job.
There are many pharmaceutical companies in China, but few of them are willing to invest in research and development. Most pharmaceutical company bosses just want to make a quick buck and leave, and have never thought about running a century-old pharmaceutical company.
Therefore, positions in drug research and development are basically full, and doctoral graduates who work in pharmaceutical companies may not necessarily be taken seriously.
Moreover, Chinese people have a persistent dream of becoming a pharmacist. Many masters and doctors of pharmacy eventually enter the pharmacy departments of major hospitals.
Then, masters and doctoral students from prestigious universities only have to sit at the counter and dispense medicine to patients, which is a serious waste of talent.
Although Lingnan Tang is a newly established company, its strength is unquestionable. How much money can it make in a year just by selling wild ginseng, cordyceps and other precious Chinese medicinal materials?
Otherwise, how could the boss Lin Sanqi dare to donate 30 million to his alma mater in one go?
Yes, Lin Sanqi actually used the money to buy second-hand equipment, but within the school, everyone agreed that Lin Sanqi was just looking for an excuse to donate money, otherwise who would want those antiques from decades ago.
So if one's students can catch the express train of Lin Sanqi and become the founding father of Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Factory, is there anything better than this?
I have to say that anyone who can become the dean of a prestigious university must have no problems with his vision and pattern.
"Teacher Zhang, are you looking for us?"
Three doctoral students arrived soon. Just by looking at their thick glasses and lazy temperament, Lin Sanqi knew that these three were typical scientific researchers who devoted themselves to the laboratory and had no ulterior motives.
In addition, what made Lin Sanqi most satisfied was that the only female doctor was a rare beauty.
Although this senior sister did not dress up too much, her fair skin, big eyes, delicate nose, plump little mouth, and lovely "natural curls" formed a naturally beautiful picture.
If I have to describe it, she is about 70% similar to Chen Duling, and looks very pure and sexy.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin? What are you daydreaming about? This is the doctoral student I personally trained. He's definitely an elite talent."
Dean Zhang introduced them cheerfully, and Lin Sanqi quickly put away his pig-like look, stood up, nodded and greeted.
"Ni Shenbao, Li Yifan, Shi Zitong, come, let me introduce you. This is your junior fellow student, a first-year graduate student of Dean Wang of the First Clinical Medical College. He's also the owner of Lingnantang Company.
Lingnantang Company is an emerging pharmaceutical company. It is now preparing to enter the pharmaceutical industry, so it is in urgent need of a group of pharmaceutical talents. Teacher, I will introduce you three to the company.
First of all, you are alumni and fellow students. Brothers are like brothers when fighting a tiger. You can help each other in the future. We, the students of Huadu Medical University, cannot let outsiders bully us, right?
Secondly, the three of you have formed a small experimental team since your master's degrees, and you have a good working relationship. If you can continue to work together in the future, the effect of 1+2 will be greater than 3. This will be the best choice for both you and the company."
Anyone who is not a fool knows that the job introduced by the mentor is definitely the best choice.
After all, the more promising the students are after graduation and the better their jobs are, the more face the tutor will have in front of his peers.
Therefore, unless the mentor is a fool, most mentors hope that their disciples can gain both fame and fortune.
Ni Shenbao, Li Yifan, and Shi Zitong nodded to Dean Zhang, then turned to Lin Sanqi and smiled what they believed to be a genuine smile.
"Then please take good care of me from now on, Junior Brother."
From this title, it can be seen that these three people really do not understand the unspoken rules of society. At this time, they should call him General Lin instead of Junior Brother.
Lin Sanqi didn't care. What he wanted was this kind of cute and simple subordinate without any ulterior motives. It was because he had so many secrets.
"Hello, my three senior brothers and sisters. Hello, we are a family from now on."
Professor Zhang knew that his three disciples were all scholars and had a thin skin, so he took the initiative to ask:
"Xiao Lin, look at how those three are treated..."
Lin Sanqi is not short of money, nor does he want to be an evil capitalist. Since the basic annual salary of the three accountants in the Finance Department can reach 500,000, then these three doctoral students must be no less, right?
"Dean Zhang, my three seniors, although you haven't graduated yet, I already have a lot of work for you to take over. Of course, the work isn't tiring; it just involves helping me find information and write papers.
How about this? From now until graduation, this period will be your probation period. I'll give you a subsidy of 10,000 yuan a month. How about that? "
Lin Sanqi thought, since he was going to start clinical and scientific research in 1960, a paper was essential. He also needed to start planning for the Xiangjiang Pharmaceutical Factory in 2013, and applying for patents and setting up a factory would require professional technicians.
Since we have to pay for it anyway, we might as well let the three PhDs do it right away. 30,000 a month is much more economical than hiring temporary experts.
Actually, someone wanted to hire three doctors to write for him. How shameless! ...
The three little doctors' eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly.
You have to know that they are now doctoral students and theoretically still students. They usually help their supervisors with some projects, and the supervisors only give them a symbolic subsidy of 2,000 yuan.
This subsidy is already relatively high among graduate students. After all, most supervisors just give a few hundred yuan as a token of appreciation.
In the eyes of supervisors, graduate students are free "oxen and horses" of hard labor, so why do they need bicycles?
Dean Zhang was also very happy and applauded:
"Great, great! I'm already receiving a subsidy before I even officially start working. Xiaolin is really generous. We're indeed fellow students. It seems my income will be even higher after I start working."
Lin Sanqi laughed:
"Dean Zhang, you don't have to praise me. Don't worry, as long as the three of you pass the probation period and officially join the company, I guarantee that your annual salary will not be less than 500,000. In addition, there will be a large year-end bonus based on your contribution. The greater your contribution, the larger the year-end bonus, and there is no upper limit."
Professor Zhang asked cautiously:
"Xiao Lin, don't try to imitate those capitalists who make big promises. They'll give out year-end bonuses of 1 yuan or 1 million yuan. How much do you think you'll get?"
Lin Sanqi scratched his head. "It's hard to say. After all, our company hasn't issued any yet. But based on our company's current profitability, this year-end bonus won't be less than 500,000, right?"
Annual income starts from 1 million!
The three young doctors' eyes were as big as copper bells at this time, and they nodded so much that they almost left afterimages, which showed that they were very satisfied with the income.
Professor Zhang smacked his lips. "Xiao Lin, what do you think of me? I'm a Yangtze River Scholar, a first-class professor of pharmacy, and only one step away from becoming an academician. Why don't I come work at your company?"
Hehehe~~~
Everyone in the office chuckled, and everyone knew that Dean Zhang was joking.
Lin Sanqi knew that what Dean Zhang said was half true and half false. After all, one has to retire from leadership positions at the age of 55. Dean Zhang is 54 years old this year and will retire next year.
According to the customs of the domestic officialdom, no matter how glorious you are in front of the stage, you will be forgotten as soon as you retire.
Although their benefits remain unchanged after retirement, in order to avoid suspicion, old leaders rarely appear in the unit. They usually go out and find ways to make money.
Of course, there are also those who can think it through and start preparing to travel and enjoy their retirement life.
Lin Sanqi knew that top university leaders like Dean Zhang not only had a strong reserve of professional knowledge, but more importantly, they also had a strong network of contacts.
If we can invite bigwigs like President Zhang and President Wang to our company, even as consultants, it will be a great help to the future development of our company. This opportunity cannot be missed.
Lin Sanqi quickly continued to smile and said:
"President Zhang, I plan to open two pharmaceutical factories in the future. One is a traditional Chinese medicine factory in Hong Kong. You are an expert and know that the control of traditional Chinese medicine in China is too strict, so I can only open it in Hong Kong or abroad.
In addition, I plan to open another Western medicine factory in China, specializing in the production of some basic medicines, such as antibiotics, special medicines for infectious diseases, or medicines for chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, for export to Africa.
Therefore, I sincerely invite Dean Zhang to come to our Lingnan Hall as a consultant. After all, as you know, I am a clinical professional, not a pharmacy professional. You are the expert in this field. With you here, my career development will be more smooth. "
Dean Zhang and the three doctors felt relieved when they heard this.
Lingnan Hall has its own development plan, and it can be seen that pharmaceutical factories will occupy a very important proportion. This is a good thing and it is also their home ground.
"Okay, Xiaolin, when I'm done as dean next year, I'll come to your company as a consultant to help you with the process. Hehe, if Lingnantang can become one of the top 100 pharmaceutical companies in the country, I'll be so proud of myself in front of my peers."
"Professor Zhang, what do you mean by top 100 in China? If I want to be one of the top 100 in the world, don't forget that Lingnan Hall also deals in precious Chinese medicinal herbs."
When Dean Zhang heard this, he started to think again:
"Xiao Lin, your plans for Lingnan Hall are very ambitious. It seems that just three PhDs aren't enough. Look, we at Huadu Medical University's School of Pharmacy still have quite a few undergraduate and master's students. You have to take care of them, too."
Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said, "Of course. There will be plenty of jobs in the future. I will definitely give priority to our alumni."
Lin Sanqi was happy to see that students from Huadu Medical University became the main force in Lingnan Hall, and even had an absolute monopoly position.
Because he is already a member of Huadu Medical University, he is not afraid that his subordinates will sideline him or force him out of power at a critical moment.
No one in this world can force Lin Sanqi. If other companies or sales champions have the ability, they can poach this team. Anyway, all sales are in the hands of him as the boss. The worst that can happen is that he can recruit another team.
Just like the sales of ginseng and cordyceps, Lin Sanqi is not afraid of the formation of the "Mercedes-Benz Gang" at all. It cannot bluff him as the boss, let alone force him to abdicate.
If a company places all its bets on one top salesperson, it will not last long.
Because this employee's ambition will definitely expand, and he will definitely want to work alone. His departure will definitely take away the entire team, and the company will definitely go bankrupt.
If the sales champion has no bottom line and will discredit his old employer before leaving, pretend to be aggrieved in front of others, and make excuses for his betrayal, such an employee is even more terrifying.
Lin Sanqi would never allow such an employee to appear. Even if the entire Lingnan Hall needs to retain one person, it can only be him, the boss.
1960, Zhongshan County.
Pang Xingwen, the director of Zhongshan County People's Hospital, stood with Lin Sanqi in front of the border guards in green uniforms, explaining with a smile:
"Comrade, this is my nephew. He's been working in the capital. It's a rare opportunity for me to come back home, so I want to visit my relatives on Hengqin Island, haha."
The man in green military uniform, carrying a rifle, was stunned for a moment after looking at Lin Sanqi's officer ID, then stood at attention.
"Hello, Lieutenant Lin!"
Lin Sanqi also quickly stood at attention and returned the greeting: "Hello, border guards, thank you for your hard work."
At the same time, I thought to myself, fortunately I have the digital hospital work ID and military officer ID. Now it seems that it really works. They are all on the same system, and the other party's attitude has obviously improved.
Lin Sanqi spoke in Cantonese, and the soldiers in green uniforms were relieved when they heard that it was a local Guangdong accent, thinking that he was not a mainland illegal immigrant.
Lin Sanqi took the opportunity to take out a few packs of cigarettes from his backpack and handed them to the men in green uniforms. This action quickly won their favor.
"Oh, right. It wasn't so strict when I came back before. Why are the inspections so strict now when I go to Zhuhai?"
Lin Sanqi probably knew the reason, but he couldn't help but ask another question out of curiosity.
The green uniform leader smoked a cigarette, sighed, and complained:
"Hey, it's all because of the natural disasters in our country. It's so difficult, even eating has become a problem, so many people are thinking of running to the other side. There are even many people from the mainland who sneak over here, trying to sneak across.
"We're relatively well off in Zhongshan, but Bao'an to the east is in serious trouble. I heard the locals have all fled to Hong Kong, leaving nine out of ten houses empty. So now both Bao'an and Zhongshan counties are under strict control, with non-locals prohibited from entering or leaving."
In 1960, Zhuhai was still under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan, so the place where Lin Sanqi is now is actually the Zhuhai coast, and the high-rise buildings on the opposite side of the Haojiang River are clearly visible.
After Lin Sanqi arrived in Zhongshan, he found Dr. Lin’s old friend, Pang Xingwen, the director of Zhongshan County Hospital.
Pang Xingwen was very happy to see the son of his old friend. When he heard that Lin Sanqi was going to Hong Kong for private business, he began to plan his "Hong Kong route" without hesitation.
Lin Sanqi originally thought that he would take the "Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel" in later generations to cross the Pearl River Estuary to the Hong Kong River.
As a result, Pang Xingwen brought Lin Sanqi to Zhuhai, intending to let Lin Sanqi go from Zhuhai to Haojiang first, and then buy a boat ticket from Haojiang to Hong Kong in an open and aboveboard manner.
The reason is that this is the safest way to go and there is no need to risk swimming across the sea.
As for why this was the safest way, Lin Sanqi found out the reason later.
The Chinese are good friends, sharing cigarettes. The man in green uniform asked curiously:
"Second Lieutenant Lin, do you have any relatives on Da Hengqin Island?"
"Yes, there are some old relatives over there. My uncle took me there to have a look. Look, I brought a lot of good things from the capital."
After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, he picked up the net bag and showed it to the men in green uniforms. There were canned yellow peaches and Daoxiangcun cakes in it.
The men in green uniforms were envious at the sight. Although they were soldiers, the country was short of food, so how could they possibly have enough to eat? Not to mention these snacks.
Lin Sanqi noticed and took out another box of cakes from her net bag...
