Make a fortune!
Lin Sanqi was equally happy. He had copied the recipe for the ethiopyrad tablets and hadn't spent much money on research.
However, before his pharmaceutical factory was fully operational, he had already made more than tens of millions of dollars from the drug Epyridamole tablets.
It feels like I'm a fresh college graduate who has managed to swindle hundreds of millions of dollars from angel investors with just a few PPTs, without asking for anything in return or taking any shares.
Is there anything more satisfying than getting something for free?
I guess the only feeling that can compare to this is picking up a corpse in front of a bar?
Lin Sanqi, who was not short of money, waved his hand and asked 30,000 railway soldiers to work hard to speed up the production. The sooner it started production, the sooner they could make a lot of money.
During the meeting, Shen Guoming, the director of the Industrial Zone Preparatory Committee, complained:
"Commissioner Lin." (Use the title in formal situations)
"The biggest problem with the project right now is the lack of building materials. The earth and stone alone are far from enough to meet the quantity we need. So you'd better contact Dongguang Province as soon as possible and have them deliver the materials as soon as possible."
Lin Sanqi knew that before building houses or roads, a large amount of earth and stone was needed to lay the foundation.
If the foundation is unstable, shoddy construction is likely to occur, which is a big taboo.
Bao'an County has mountains, but in order to protect the environment of Bao'an County, Lin Sanqi does not want to mine on Wutong Mountain.
By then, the bare mountains will be exposed there, like a scar on a beautiful woman's face, very ugly and difficult to repair.
So he outsourced this infrastructure project to the construction department of Dongguan Province.
Lin Sanqi was a little puzzled:
"Director Shen, Commander Lu? Stone and sand aren't scarce resources. Why is the progress so slow on something the province clearly agreed on?"
He has money now, so he naturally speaks a little arrogantly. Party B's son actually doesn't comply with the request made by Party A's father?
Commander Lu quickly helped to explain:
"Commissioner Lin, it's not that the province is uncooperative, it's simply that our transportation capacity is limited. We currently only have a little over 50 large trucks, and that alone has already drained the resources of our entire division.
If it were just a normal project, 50 dump trucks would be enough. But now you're asking for simultaneous construction of Sha Tau Kok, Yantian, the power plant, the water plant, and the railway, so 50 dump trucks are far from enough."
Lin Sanqi understood that to transport heavy objects such as stones and sand, a dump truck must be used. It has a heavy cargo capacity and one trip is equivalent to several trips of Dongfeng trucks.
But dump trucks cannot be produced domestically, and even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy them. This is the contradiction.
Commander Lu saw Lin Sanqi lost in thought, and his military instinct told him that he had to continue complaining:
"There's another thing. It's not just dump trucks that are in short supply. Excavators, bulldozers, pile drivers, and more are all in short supply. The biggest shortage is diesel. I've already reminded you, Commissioner Lin, of this issue several times."
Lin Sanqi blushed, because the scene of Commander Lu asking him to buy diesel and machinery several times suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Ah, this boomerang ended up hitting me. This is so embarrassing."
Everyone in the room chuckled.
"Alright, I'll take care of this. Give me a few more days, and I promise I can get the construction machinery over. I ask you to be quick, and I need to be quick too.
By the way, Director Shen, when you contacted the provincial construction department, you told them that we were going to use foreign exchange, US dollars or British pounds, to purchase all the building materials. Humph, I don't believe it. Can they resist such temptation? "
Shen Guoming smiled. He had now taken over all the infrastructure in Bao'an District, so he naturally knew the inside story.
Although the country did not provide financial support to Bao'an County, it tried its best to meet its other requirements, such as providing as many educated youth and intellectuals as required.
In addition, although Bao'an County cannot provide the cement and steel bars needed for infrastructure construction, after all, there are not enough for domestic use.
But for ordinary stones, sand, wood, etc., they would give as much as they wanted, but Lin Sanqi had to buy them with money.
This is where the problem lies. What’s the use of giving RMB these days?
In an era of material scarcity, the RMB had almost no purchasing power, so it would be better to ask for materials directly.
Therefore, there is a lack of enthusiasm at the local level, and a perfunctory attitude towards Bao'an County, which is just completing the task.
But if Lin Sanqi used US dollars to buy building materials, it would be different. Local people could use US dollars to exchange for various foods and cloth.
This shows that the US dollar is hard currency in the country.
Shen Guoming smiled and said:
"If you say you want to pay in US dollars, we won't even need to arrange a construction truck. Dongguang will find a way to deliver the building materials we need, even if it means using a horse or ox cart."
Hahahaha~~~Everyone laughed.
But everyone knows this is a joke. How much building materials can a horse or ox cart pull? The dump truck is the king.
Just as a few people were discussing infrastructure, Secretary Li Yujie walked in.
"Commissioner Lin, there's a call saying the Yunnan leader wants to see you and is at the Bao'an County Railway Station."
"Yunnan is here?"
When Lin Sanqi heard this, his eyes lit up, and Shen Guoming stood up at once. Knowing that his daughter and her family had arrived, they hurried downstairs.
Sure enough, standing in the yard were Shen Wenqiu, Fu Hongliang, and three little guys looking around.
"Dad, little brother."
Shen Guoming laughed and ran towards his three grandchildren. The old man always showed affection to the grandchildren, and ignored his daughter and son-in-law next to him.
Lin Sanqi quickly greeted, "Sister, brother-in-law, you're finally here. It's been over a month."
Chen Wenqiu hesitated to speak:
"Hey little brother, we came here by military train. This time, Commander Cao and Director Zhao delivered the goods personally. But Bao'an County isn't as good as you say. After the train entered the county, all the villages along the way were empty."
As soon as Lin Sanqi heard about Chief Cao and Director Zhao, he immediately knew what was going on.
Because the two parties had spoken on the phone a few days ago and said they would come to Bao'an County to visit in person, but Lin Sanqi knew that the two leaders were probably afraid that he would take the goods and not acknowledge them, so he came to see it in person.
As for Chen Wenqiu's question, Lin Sanqi also laughed:
"Sister, don't worry. We are in Bao'an County now, but our industrial park is in the east of Bao'an County. That's where the action is. I'll take you there for a visit tomorrow and you'll see.
But don’t be fooled by the deserted appearance of the county town. There are thousands of college students here, and there are dozens of professors alone.
A large number of intellectuals will continue to come here, and when they do, Bao'an County will look quite different."
Fu Hongliang is obviously more open-minded than his wife. His father-in-law and mother-in-law are both here, so why should he be afraid that Lin Sanqi will cheat them?
"Xiao Qi, your sister and I have already transferred our personnel relationship. We are just waiting to be assigned to a new unit. What do you think about the arrangements?"
Lin Sanqi nodded at the old man who was happily playing with his grandson:
"This godfather has already been arranged for you. He is now the de facto boss of Bao'an County, and I am his purchaser."
The old man likes to listen to the blowing of the stick. Shen Guoming also smiled slightly and said:
"Xiao Qiu, you will temporarily work at Bao'an County People's Hospital. You can choose which department to work in.
The People's Hospital's responsibility is not only to undertake local medical tasks, but also to protect the health of intellectuals and railway soldiers who support Bao'an County."
Lin Sanqi added:
"Bao'an County Hospital is in rather poor condition right now. My godfather and I have suggested that you become the deputy director first. You should make a list of the medical equipment and medicines the hospital needs, and I'll be in charge of the procurement."
When Shen Wenqiu heard that he would be the vice president, he was not happy at all. Instead, he felt extremely stressed.
Nowadays, people don’t think that being a leader means being domineering and overbearing in the unit. Instead, they think it is a heavy responsibility and are afraid of disappointing the trust of their superiors.
"Xiao Qi, is it true that you can buy whatever medicine our hospital needs?"
Lin Sanqi comforted:
"Sister, don't worry, as long as it's medicine available in Hong Kong, I can have it here. Even if it's medicine that Hong Kong doesn't have, I can also have it.
Don’t forget, we want to build the world’s most advanced drug production base. How could we possibly lack medicines?
In addition, I have also discussed with my godfather that if you need any other kind of doctor, you can tell me or Dean Jia, not just medicines and medical equipment.
Report your ideas to me, and I'll take care of the rest." (End of this chapter)
