Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1844 Rapid Advancement

Many incidents have shown that Huang Boxi, Nie Yixiong, Cen Songxue, Zhao Xicheng, Qi Shangqi and others harbor a lot of self-protective instincts. If Bian Mu does anything that affects their vital interests, they will inevitably resort to underhanded tactics.

After sitting on the wooden chair and thinking for a while, Bian Mu used his laptop to type up an experimental report for the old village doctor surnamed Mi. He also sent a copy to Miss Xu's email. It's good to have a technical intermediary; it's better to let Miss Xu handle some of the unpleasant words.

……

Huang Boxi quickly delivered a second dose of medicine. This time, Miss Xu handed over a paper medicine packet with the Huang family's unique pharmaceutical mark printed on it. Miss Xu didn't say anything, and Bian Mu didn't say anything either. After a few polite words, the two parted ways.

In the dedicated laboratory of the small white building, Bian Mu continued his experiments at night...

This time, the experimental data looked better, but it was still far from meeting Bian Mu's requirements.

Bian Mu drafted two more experimental reports and sent them to the email addresses of the elderly village doctor surnamed Mi and the young lady surnamed Xu.

……

Huang Boxi was constantly scheming, and Bian Mu did not intend to wait for the old man to change his mind and cooperate sincerely with him. That evening, Bian Mu took the initiative to invite An Delin, the boss of "Hongyang" Pharmaceutical Company, to "Tianyin Pavilion" to discuss further cooperation matters.

Bian Mu arrived first, and he had already placed the drafted experimental report on the dining table. This one was slightly different from the ones that the old village doctor surnamed Mi had, and the technical content was much lower.

Not long after, Anderlin, accompanied by a middle-aged woman, hurriedly entered the small private room.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bian Mu learned that the woman was President An's wife.

After ordering a few simple dishes, Anderlin naturally picked up the lab report on the table and carefully read it through before handing it to his lover.

“I roughly understand what Master Bian means. Although I have been cooperating with Elder Huang for at least ten years and our friendship is certainly not shallow, the most important thing is for the company to get out of its predicament. Don’t worry! This cooperation will definitely be centered around Master Bian. Our company’s management has already discussed this point. To put it bluntly... if Elder Huang were willing or able to help us out of our predicament, all the workshops would have completed their technical upgrades by now! He knows what he’s doing!” Anderlin was quite straightforward and didn’t beat around the bush at all.

Anderlin's wife sat quietly beside him, carefully flipping through the experimental report without saying a word.

Out of the corner of her eye, Bian Mu realized that President An's wife must be quite knowledgeable.

“Then I’ll be frank. Mr. Huang is from that era, and he’s somewhat out of touch with the current highly competitive market. Meeting him behind his back doesn’t mean we’re excluding him. We need to make that clear. What I mean is… since our basic hardware and software are pretty much matched, I’ll arrange for three ladies to visit your company tomorrow for an on-site inspection. Some specific matters can be settled then. I’d appreciate it if Mr. An could arrange for relevant technical personnel to receive them. We could also have some draft agreements initialed. Once I have the initialed results, I can arrange for the next group of people to go and continue to advance the cooperation process,” Bian Mu said with a smile.

An Delin was quite surprised to see Bian Mu acting so efficiently.

"He really is a character. He can act like a gentleman and also take responsibility like a villain! He can handle everything without any problems. Who would believe he has no one backing him?" Anderlin thought to himself.

"No problem! Don't worry! There are some things... I'll inform Elder Huang in our own way. In any case, the combined strength of the two generations is always stronger. If all else fails... we'll have no choice but to cooperate with Master Bian. After all, our company's thousands of employees need to find another way to survive, right?" "That would be best. Also, I'd like to ask how much importance your company will place on this cooperation?" Bian Mu suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Anderlin was taken aback.

"Master Bian... what do you mean? I'm not as smart as you, I didn't quite understand."

"Then I'll be frank. Although the overall scale of this cooperation is relatively limited and the related output value is not very high, it is of extraordinary significance to us. At the very least, we will inject a brand-new concept of traditional Chinese medicine into the pharmaceutical market. For me personally, this significance seems even greater! So... if possible, I hope that a special 'zone' can be set up in your factory, where staff from both sides can devote themselves fully to it, and it would be best if there were no overlaps or conflicts with other workshops or other businesses in your factory. Am I being a bit abrupt by saying this?" Bian Mu explained his second purpose with a smile.

“No problem! However… our company is quite outdated in many ways, unlike large pharmaceutical companies in the city that can operate modularly. If we were to designate a production zone… the cost of allocating related equipment and personnel would be considerable. If we were to fully cover the costs, we would probably have to take out a bank loan,” Anderlin said frankly.

"You don't need to worry about that. I've already planned out the visit to your company that day. Some things... might be much easier than you think. All I need is a clear answer from you. We can discuss the specific renovation details later, okay?"

“No problem! Whatever your arrangements, we’ll do our best to cooperate,” Anderlin quickly replied.

"I have drafted a planning area proposal here. So far, only the three of us have been in contact with it. If possible, please keep it confidential for a while, Mr. An. We can show it to other partners once the conditions for setting up the special zone are truly met. How about that?"

"Okay, okay! I'll follow your arrangements, Bian Guan!" As he spoke, An Delin took a draft of the special zone setup plan from Bian Mu.

"By the way, Mr. An! There's an old flagpole near your company's entrance, isn't there? From a divination perspective, and of course, it has a bit of a mystical feel to it, what I mean is... if possible, and if no one in your company's middle and senior management objects, I plan to make some special divination arrangements around the old flagpole. It's not for any other reason than to slightly alter the relationships between the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Would it be presumptuous of me to say this?" Bian Mu's words were quite polite.

"Well... we definitely don't have any problems here, but... according to relevant regulations, if we want to change the status quo of the old flagpole, we need to submit a report to the relevant cultural heritage protection department beforehand."

"That's alright! I was just making a simple suggestion. We definitely need to go through the relevant application report process. If it works out, great; if not, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Okay, okay! So... what specific changes does Master Bian plan to make?"

"I'll make some small moves. I'll plant some Chinese medicinal herbs at locations around 3.3 meters, 5.5 meters, 7.7 meters, 9.9 meters... the exact locations will vary. I'll send someone to deliver the appropriate topsoil. The cleaning staff will just need to take care of them occasionally. If I find any dead seedlings, I'll go and deal with it."

"Phew! I thought it would be some big undertaking! This is simple! I can make the decision."

"Well... let's not delay. This is my draft plan. Take it back and discuss it with your colleagues. Anyway, I still need to find someone to cultivate the soil for a few days!"

"No problem! We'll get it done right away!"

Throughout the entire process, President An's wife never interrupted, at most giving Bian Mu a smile, without saying a single unnecessary word, which greatly surprised Bian Mu.
