Secretary Xiao Zhang was carrying a tea tray containing jujube tea and white fungus and eight-treasure porridge. As soon as she opened the door to the lounge, she was stunned by the chaotic scene.
Why is the bed full of clothes?
"Boss Chu?"
Xiao Zhang placed the tea tray on the bedside table, turned on the desk lamp, gently lifted the quilt, and when he placed his hand on Chu Yiqing's forehead, he felt a thin layer of sweat.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Chu Yiqing said weakly, "What time is it?"
"Nine o'clock."
Chu Yiqing immediately opened his eyes, forced himself to sit up, and gestured in the direction of the curtains.
When she saw the sky was brightening, she covered her red and swollen eyes with her hands for a long time.
After drinking a few cups of the jujube water, Chu Yiqing felt as if she had come back to life. She refused help, but the moment she got out of bed, her legs went limp, and she felt weak all over, with a heavy head and light feet.
"What's the emergency today?"
As Xiao Zhang removed the blood-stained bed sheet, he replied, "Boss Chu, Vice President Yu is waiting for you outside. But I suggest that after we meet him, we go to the hospital."
Chu Yiqing didn't answer and went straight into the bathroom.
…
"Mr. Chu, you?" Vice President Yu pushed up his black-framed glasses.
"Looks miserable, doesn't it?"
The other party quickly lowered his head.
Chu Yiqing pursed her pale lips, without wiping anything off her face. She was wearing a loose yellow shirt and white linen pants, sitting on the sofa with a bowl of porridge in her hand, drinking as she spoke:
"Sit down, Lao Yu."
Vice President Yu considered what to say, intending to bring up the same old topic again. He placed a folder in front of Chu Yiqing, opened the last column, and pointed at the numbers. "Mr. Chu, Manager Jiangxian has requested R&D expenses again."
Chu Yiqing took a sip of porridge, glanced at the numbers, lowered his head and asked:
"Do you suspect there's something wrong with the accounts?"
"No. It's just that Manager Fang is such an academic talent. He's constantly engaged in research and development, constantly organizing medical societies, associations, and other large-scale academic activities. I heard that he applied to you to create an academic platform for doctors to learn new knowledge?"
"Yes. If I can invite a renowned medical expert from abroad to help him, I agree. What about you?"
"I don't agree. Mr. Chu, he's doing great business there, but he's not making any money. If a business isn't profitable, you should cut your losses.
Before original research drugs enter clinical trials, they must undergo lengthy pharmacological studies and clinical trials. We have already invested over 800,000 yuan in this process, and it has only been over a year.
Eight hundred thousand, with the current real estate value, we can now stand in the high-rise building we built.
If our company does not have the capital and technology in this area, we can only watch helplessly.
But our company is where it is today, and our first pot of gold came from the construction of the ring road a few years ago. We should be the ones taking the lead."
Facing his excited subordinates, Chu Yiqing remained calm.
She looked up at the furious Lao Yu and placed an invitation in front of her.
"This is the government extending an olive branch to us once again. In a few days, several plots of land will be put up for tender in Kyoto, and the government has extended invitations to qualified companies." Vice President Yu felt it was a pity, and he added meaningfully:
"Boss Chu, if you're worried about your lover having a bad reputation, we can..."
Chu Yiqing quickly waved his hand to stop him and put down the bowl of porridge:
"Don't just focus on that one big piece of cake. Kyoto, provincial capitals, window cities, are all rushing to build buildings, it's complicated. Locals, outsiders, even Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen are joining in. We shouldn't wade into that muddy water."
Chu Yiqing stood up, avoiding the clichés her subordinates were about to bring up. She walked to the window and looked downstairs. For some reason, she felt particularly emotional at this moment:
"I remember when we first started the company, I asked my brother how we could quickly raise funds. He, who wasn't an economics major, told me that wisdom is in the mouths of the people: if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. That's how we got our initial capital.
Later, the current company was established. It acquired, restructured, and integrated twelve state-owned and collective enterprises, large and small, that had closed down, gone bankrupt, or ceased production. As a result, it was too diverse and moved too fast.
Biochemicals, containers, and OEM manufacturing for canned food for export. But what about the combined profits? Not even close to paving the way.
So, Lao Yu, if you want to advise me here, why don’t you remember your roots and expand our main job.
The real estate market is big, but I won't get involved.
Look at the bridge construction and highway construction in various provinces. We can even imagine that with the reform and development of Kyoto's subway, other cities will also have to undergo large-scale construction in the future."
Vice President Yu's face flushed, and he said unconvincedly:
"It's just too diverse. But I really don't understand why I want to go into medicine.
From the professional perspective of a master of economics, I dare to tell you right now that if we don't speed up and are dragged down by the pharmaceutical industry, then any real estate developer with a bit of reputation will surpass us in a few years.
We can’t even catch up with them even if we try our best!”
Chu Yiqing's heart instantly erupted in anger. Why did she mention her brother's wisdom among the people? Did she have to explain it in detail? Did she have to report it to her subordinates?
He turned around and walked to the coffee table, picked up the pen and signed his name, then sternly reprimanded:
"What are the common people still lacking? You only pay attention to the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but have you forgotten why you became my subordinate?
Because your salary is not enough, you have to save your father.
Currently, only Class A hospitals have more than 500 types of medicines.
Wait for the traditional Chinese medicine of Lao Fang to open up a new path and attract foreign pharmaceutical companies to come in. Have you ever thought about it?
You, you. You only count R&D and marketing expenses. Why don't you consider that when faced with illness, rich or poor, they'll spend everything they have. Even food, clothing, and shelter will give way to illness.
After research and development, will this be the profit for eight to ten years? What if it is surpassed in a few years? I want to be the Huangpu Military Academy of the pharmaceutical industry, and even build a century-long business.
Everything has to give way to this! If you don't have that determination, leave!"
After Chu Yiqing finished shouting, his body shook and sweat broke out all over.
"But in a few years, if the capital chain..."
"What do you mean by 'yes'?" Chu Yiqing picked up the folder and threw it at his men: "Get out!"
Just as the atmosphere in the room became tense, the phone rang.
Chu Yiqing was puzzled when she heard the word "congratulations". As a result, she glared at the secretary while listening. After saying a few words with a smile and hanging up, she said angrily:
"Your news is getting late. If Director Xu from the People's Bank of China hadn't congratulated me, I, as your sister, wouldn't have known that my brother opened a club!"
Xiao Zhang quickly lowered his head.
Chu Yiqing was more angry with Chu Yifeng. She was so angry that her stomach started to hurt again, but she didn't have time to relax.
There is still more than an hour until the opening ceremony.
While arranging secretarial matters, she also started making phone calls one after another and mobilizing all her connections.
She didn't know that Wang Haiyang kept calling, but the line was always busy. Then she could only go on a business trip in frustration.
After hearing the news, Liang Yinqiu hurried into the house, hurriedly packed herself up, changed her clothes, and rushed to her son's place.
