Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1842 Technical Intermediaries
Liang Xiangyin and his son have their own plans, and Bian Mu also has his own business development strategy. When everyone's interests align and there is a lot of overlap, Bian Mu can naturally say whatever he wants. Otherwise, Bian Mu has to hold back to some extent.

The things Dr. Chi told me were absolutely top secret—only heaven, earth, and man knew, and I couldn't even tell my own parents a single word.

Bian Mu needs to learn to mature sooner.

Although he is usually quite upright, Sanqiangzi is also quite cunning. He certainly couldn't say things like the decline of the Cen family clinic. Bian Mu simply mentioned that the opportunity was rare and that if they missed it, they wouldn't be able to find another place to stay.

Sanqiangzi was naturally overjoyed.

"Oh my... you've finally come to your senses! We should have done this a long time ago. No problem, we'll definitely find another auspicious location for us by searching all over Beijing. So... has the branch manager already picked one?"

"Not yet. There's no rush. Given the current situation, I can handle things here on my own, and your father and Dr. Ning can easily set up another branch. However... there's a crucial detail here: the branch's affairs... are not something Senior Sima can easily get involved in."

“Understood! People with different values ​​cannot work together! I understand!” Sanqiangzi replied with a smile.

"We were chatting the other day when Senior Mi mentioned that he was considering returning to the city. Perhaps he felt that his life of seclusion in the mountains was coming to an end? After all, he's getting on in years, so it's safer to be closer to a top-tier hospital. During the early days when the branch clinic first opened, I might even say that the old man went there to see patients for half a day!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Sanqiangzi was overjoyed.

"That's great! My father mentioned that Elder Mi's actual medical skills are even better than Elder Nie's! It's just that he has been indifferent to fame and fortune for many years and hasn't saved much money."

Hearing this, Bian Mu smiled dismissively and said nothing. In his opinion, Mr. Mi was definitely not short of money; the old man was very shrewd!
"Hey! By the way, how did your talk with that teacher from No. 14 Middle School go?" Bian Mu suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile.

"Sigh! Her mother thinks I'm poor, I don't have a house, and I don't have a proper job, so she's never agreed to marry me."

"Does it mean to blow it?"

"It's hard to say. We'll need to figure out how to buy an apartment, otherwise, there's not much we can talk about."

"Let's keep this going for now! Once the new drug issue is settled, we can go out and look at houses."

Upon hearing this, Sanqiangzi's eyes lit up.

"That's great! From what you're saying, the new drug sample is almost ready?"

"The initial samples at the lab level should be fine. If there are no major problems after we meet with Professor Huang, then this matter is settled."

"You're amazing! Everyone's counting on you to make them rich! It's time for us buddies to turn our fortunes around!"

Chatting and laughing, the two enjoyed their meal immensely.

……

After getting off work in the evening, Bian Mu called "Knife Face" to invite him to have barbecue in the ancient city.

"Knife-faced" clearly stated that "Hongyang" Pharmaceutical Company had no major problems in its fundamentals. He had investigated almost all the information Bian Mu had given him, and it was a legitimate company that was genuinely committed to real business.

"The matter with 'Hongyang' Company is temporarily settled. When you have some free time, please help me get a comprehensive understanding of the basic situation of 'Cen Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic'. The key points are how many physical stores they have, where they usually operate, their size, rent, and if the property belongs to the Cen family, also check whose name is on the property certificate... and so on. Just get a basic understanding." "Okay."

“After a while, once the contract is signed, you might have to work part-time at Hongyang Company as our quality inspector. Since you’ll be going back and forth, we’ll need to provide you with a new car. Go to the car market these next few days and pick out a suitable one. I’ll go and take care of the paperwork.”

"No need! My old car isn't actually in bad condition," the man with the long, thin face said with a smile.

"From now on, we'll be a small business, so we need to have all the necessary office supplies, like vehicles. Let's pick one out!"

"Alright! I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"We're all family, no need to be polite! Right now, I can't promise you anything, but we can discuss how to make things work out smoothly together. I hope our relationship will become more and more legitimate in the future, so you won't have to work so hard running around all day."

"I know what I'm doing, I know what I'm doing!" "Striped Face" was secretly overjoyed when he said this. Boss Bian was always very reserved in his speech, but he knew that after more than ten years of hard work, he was finally getting back on track.

……

That morning, around 10 o'clock, Bian Mu was taking the pulse of a young female patient when he looked up and saw that the young lady, Ms. Xu, whom he had met before, was standing smiling at the door of the clinic. She didn't wave or greet him, but just stood there quietly waiting for Bian Mu to have something to say.

Bian Mu waved to Miss Xu and gestured for the female intern surnamed Fan to go out and chat with Miss Xu for a few minutes.

After politely seeing the young female patient out, Bian Mu went to the reception area to chat with Ms. Xu for a few minutes, while the female intern surnamed Fan went back to the clinic to continue copying prescriptions.

"It's all settled with Elder Huang. This is the first batch of trial ointments. The box on the left is the yang-tonifying one, and the box on the right is the yin-tonifying one. Elder Huang said you can tell at a glance. From what the old man said... you just need to make a small ointment to neutralize it." As she spoke, Miss Xu took out an exquisite wooden box from her handbag and placed it on the coffee table.

Bian Mu opened the wooden box and smelled it, and naturally knew what was going on.

"Mr. Mi is so thoughtful. Mr. Huang and I had to go through this process several times to handle the technology matching properly. Why didn't we think of that before? It's best to have Mr. Mi as the middleman. It saves us from guessing each other's thoughts. A slight mistake could really ruin everything!"

"Really? As long as the new drug can be launched in time, that's good. Is there anything else you want to tell Elder Mi?" Miss Xu asked with a smile.

"It's nothing... I'll go to the Little White Building after get off work tonight and try my luck. So... after the results come out, I'll contact you directly?"

"That's what Elder Huang and Elder Mi mean, you don't have any objections, right?" With a sweet smile, Miss Xu asked with a reserved demeanor.

"It would be perfect to have you act as a technical intermediary. You know, Old Master Huang is very concerned about his reputation. If something goes wrong in the middle, he might not be able to accept it face-to-face!" Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"I understand! I have a question, may I ask you about it?"

"We're all family here, so please speak freely!"

"Do I really have to get past Elder Huang? I've heard that with your current technical skills, you can still successfully launch the detoxifying ointment even without Elder Huang's involvement. Can I interpret this as a way of respecting the elderly? Or a kind of traditional ritual? A way of showing respect to industry seniors?" Miss Xu asked with a smile.

"No, that's not it. As you know, although the new drug I'm promoting is a market attempt at a completely new pharmaceutical concept, it still has to be fully integrated with traditional Chinese medicine. Not a single logical link can be missing. This aspect is particularly important!" Bian Mu explained with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Miss Xu couldn't help but look at Bian Mu with a look of admiration.
