Chapter 1584: Not Suitable for Retreating
Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshan Mansion after eight o'clock in the evening, and saw his brother-in-law and Qingning waiting for him for dinner.
This time, Yu Zhiming wasn't surprised. He was used to it. Perhaps his food was just more delicious.
A few minutes later, everyone gathered in the restaurant. According to Yu Zhiming's habits and rhythm, they each concentrated on eating for a few minutes, and then started to chat while eating.
Yu Zhiming spoke first, "Ning'an's anniversary celebrations over the past month have been quite a big deal and cost a lot of money. How are the results?"
Gu Qingran smiled faintly and said, "The effect is naturally huge. It has enhanced team cohesion and pride, increased national visibility, and especially changed the impression of Ning An among customers nationwide."
Yu Zhiming asked curiously, "What impression did Ning An have in the minds of customers in the past?"
Gu Qingran smiled and said, "Ning'an used to focus on producing common medicines and ordinary medical supplies without patents. Although it has been increasing its R&D investment over the past decade, the results have been mediocre."
"But this time, a group of patented drugs represented by Ji's amino acids, as well as high-tech achievements such as very early cancer screening and dialysis membranes, have greatly enhanced the company's scientific and technological content."
"In the eyes of our customers, Ning'an has transformed into a large and powerful high-tech medical group."
These words made Yu Zhiming roll his eyes and grin, and Gu Qingran's voice rang in his ears again.
"The more important reason for Ning An's transformation this time is not only due to his accumulated experience, but also because you fell from the sky!"
"Without your wisdom and discoveries, Zhiming, there would be no transformation and progress that Ning An has made today."
Yu Zhiming really liked to hear this.
He pretended to be modest and said, "My role is not that exaggerated. Ning An and I can be considered to have achieved mutual success."
Qing Ning suppressed her laughter and poured some more soup for Yu Zhiming. Then she asked, "Is everything alright with the medicinal food?"
Yu Zhiming nodded, "The police issued a notice stating that the cause of death was his wife. The food test results are also out, proving the safety of the medicinal food."
"only……"
Yu Zhiming sighed softly, "Over at the Herbal Cuisine flagship store, the new owner is determined to reclaim the property, and they're not worried about us taking legal action. It's not going to be easy."
He looked at Gu Qingran and asked, "Do you know anything about Huaihai Investment? I heard that the big boss has a very strong background. His grandfather was a big shot when our country was founded."
Gu Qingran said in a deep voice, "I'm quite familiar with Huaihai Investment. They've been pestering us to cooperate these days."
"Cooperation on what?" Yu Zhiming asked puzzledly.
“Medical insurance.”
Gu Qingran replied, and then said, "I don't know how they found out that we are planning to set up a medical insurance company."
"They came to us directly and said they were willing to cooperate with us by providing a controlling stake in a life insurance company."
Yu Zhiming asked again: "What are the terms of cooperation?"
Gu Qingran said coldly, "The insurance company they took out was poorly managed and half-dead. It had a very bad reputation and received many complaints from customers."
After a pause, he added in a deep voice, "It's more like they're taking over our project to revitalize that insurance company and make quick money."
"Cash out and make quick money?" Yu Zhiming didn't quite understand.
Gu Qingran explained, "Huaihai Investment only emerged in recent years, but its development has been quite rapid. In just a few years, it went from being a nobody to an investment consortium with over 100 billion in assets."
"Zhiming, do you know how they make money?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head.
Gu Qingran said: "They first acquired a company that had some strength but was not doing well, and then successively brought in several large projects, which enabled the company to achieve great leapfrog development."
"If you make a company's data look good, you either package it for listing or sell the company to someone else."
Yu Zhiming suddenly realized something and said, "I know there are some fattening plants that specialize in buying pigs and cattle that are about to be slaughtered, and then they work hard to fatten them up and sell them for a good price."
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "The principles are similar, but in terms of earning power, the fattening plant is nothing compared to them. To say that it's a small witch compared to a big witch is an exaggeration."
"They make several times or even dozens of times more money."
Zhou Mo interjected, "They always manage to find big projects, but that big boss must have a strong background."
Gu Qingran nodded and said, "The rumors about my background are not exaggerated, they are true."
"The most important thing is that the government projects or state-owned enterprise projects that person obtained through connections and other means were all completed quite well."
"First, the company they acquired had certain qualifications and strength, and second, he did not make money from the project."
"So these projects were all completed quite well. Even if others wanted to cause trouble for him, they couldn't."
Qing Ning took over and said, "Once the company's data looks good, he will sell it and make a fortune."
"Hey, how is the business after the company was sold?"
Gu Qingran said, "Due to inertia, the first one or two years should have been good, but without that person's connections and resources, coupled with inherent problems, the result is predictable."
"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that the next owner will also have considerable capabilities and resources, and will be able to develop the company to a higher level."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "In other words, the big boss of Huaihai Investment is a very shrewd guy."
"He was able to leverage his status and connections to secure projects, yet effectively avoid all sorts of risks?"
Gu Qingran nodded and said, "Indeed. Judging from his past series of operations, they were all legal and compliant."
"Of course, there are definitely some shady means like exchanging benefits, but overall there's definitely no problem. With his status, he can definitely handle it."
After a pause, Gu Qingran said angrily, "Now, our medical insurance project has caught his eye, and it has become a tool for him to reshape that half-dead insurance company."
"I have to say, he has a very sharp vision..."
Gu Qingran said with some complacency, "Our medical insurance project is backed by well-known hospitals across the country. Coupled with your influence and appeal, Zhiming, it will definitely be a big hit once it's launched."
Zhou Mo couldn't help but ask, "Gudianzhu, will you cooperate with Huaihai Investment on this medical insurance project?"
"How is this possible?"
Gu Qingran said righteously, "This Huaihai Investment doesn't really want to develop the medical insurance business. They just want to cash out and leave in the future. They will definitely take many measures that are quick to achieve success and disregard the future."
"Also, with the strength of Ning'an and Changxu Pharmaceutical, we can completely take the lead in operating this project. There is no reason to give the lion's share of the profits to others."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "Brother, you just said that the other party is pestering us to cooperate?"
"They don't want to be rejected?"
Gu Qingran said solemnly, "That's true. Not only that, they also hinted at threats, saying that if we don't cooperate with them, our project won't be successful."
"Also, our existing main business may be seriously affected."
Gu Qingran added, "Zhiming, Qingning, don't worry. The Gu family and Ning'an have developed to this point. What kind of situation haven't they experienced?"
"We are now at the peak of our strength and cannot be easily manipulated."
Yu Zhiming whispered, "The flagship store for herbal medicine and the medical insurance project seem to have a close connection with Huaihai Investment."
"In this case, it's not appropriate to give in, lest he go further and try to target me..."
