Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1990 Heaven does not hide the traitor
After my mom was laid off, she worked in sales for a few years, but she couldn't earn much money even after working hard all day. Eventually, she refused to go back to that job.

During a casual chat, my mom said that some bosses' personal character is really questionable. Objectively speaking, some of them are intentional or unintentional swindlers.

Bian Mu now has a similar misconception about Bi Shaoxiong.

Medical facilities and medical health products are completely different concepts. Obviously, judging from the design animation video, Bi Shaoxiong intentionally or unintentionally used blurring technology. Other laymen could not see it, but Bian Mu's sharp eyes saw through it at a glance.

Perhaps this is how Chen Yueqing, General Manager Wu, General Manager Pan... and even the late General Manager Shao amassed their wealth?
unknown!

Bian Mu felt that, at the very least, the Cao family, the Zhong family, and even the Qi family and the Lu family, whose companies they had invested in for many years and whose well-known production companies were not interested in earning such somewhat shady profits, right?
"Mr. Bi! Is this series of products we're about to collaborate on medical devices or health products?! It wasn't shown in your product launch animation!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Shaoxiong's expression turned slightly awkward for a few seconds.

"People with your mindset are a rare breed in this world! We're family, so some things... you just need to understand them! Anyway, it's all legal and compliant, I guarantee it won't violate any of the laws! Really! You're a gentleman by nature, no doubt about it! Even if I'm desperate to make money, I can't ruin your reputation, right?! My uncle has a tight grip on the finances, and I don't want to keep borrowing, so... my thinking is similar to yours. I'll try to make a few quick bucks legally and compliantly through my own abilities. Don't worry! Once the funds reach a certain level, I'll definitely stop this business and focus on producing the high-end medical equipment you fully approve of. At that time, we'll probably make our main source of profit from exports and earn foreign exchange!"

While he couldn't say it outright, Bi Shaoxiong had already started to dodge the question.

Objectively speaking, the business Bi Shaoxiong planned to do was not exactly a shady business. In order to reduce costs, he hired someone to technically "modify" the "prototype" that Bian Mu had temporarily assembled, creating a series of similar products. These were "monsters" that were neither medical equipment nor health products, but were clearly more professional. With this system of products, Bi Shaoxiong planned to make a big profit in a certain market gap. With his excellent business acumen, he would most likely succeed.

however……

The core medical concepts, technical framework, and logical structure were still in Bian Mu's mind. Bi Shaoxiong planned to acquire it with a 30% profit. To be fair, Bi Shaoxiong was already quite generous. Bian Mu was proficient in mathematics, and he could easily figure out what kind of concept Bi Shaoxiong meant by the so-called 3% profit.

but……

Bi Shaoxiong overlooked a simple fact: although Bian Mu was somewhat pedantic, he was a truly high-IQ modern person. Bian Mu could easily bring in Assistant Zhang and Guan Yuelin to try this business. Those two had always treated Bian Mu with great respect. If they made money in the future, the three of them would split the profits at least 30/30, and the remaining 10% would be deposited into a public account for future use.

Furthermore, Bi Shaoxiong is somewhat unfamiliar to them, and even if Guan Yuelin is cunning, he wouldn't dare to play too many tricks on Bian Mu. Assistant Zhang is even more trustworthy, so there's absolutely no need to be wary of him. Why bother cooperating with Bi Shaoxiong when you can easily pocket these profits?!
Of course, Bi Shaoxiong could have expanded the scale of the Bi Group and increased profits several times over, but Bian Mu has never been greedy. It's not that he's pretending to be noble; he really doesn't care about the extra profits!
"Hehe... Even if what you said is true, there's still a problem. From what you're saying, this must have been done behind Chairman Bi's back! At the very least, you wouldn't have proactively informed him beforehand, right?" Bian Mu questioned again from a different angle.

"Of course! I earn money through my own abilities. I don't use the company's personnel or technical staff, nor do I borrow the company's funds. At most, I might slightly leverage the background of the Bi Group. We need to make outsiders aware that we have the Bi Group as a backer before they will discuss cooperation with us."

"It's not as clear-cut as you make it out to be! Even with repeated simplifications, we are still genuinely using core optoelectronic components from the company your uncle founded. Just now, I thought about it, and it seems that some of them were borrowed from neighboring companies, making intellectual property division even more complicated!" Upon hearing Bian Mu directly mention sensitive topics like intellectual property division, Bi Shaoxiong fell silent.

Judging from the expression on Mr. Bi's face, it's not hard to guess that from the very beginning, he had planned to play it safe in terms of intellectual property rights.

Objectively speaking, it's rather unethical of this nephew to act recklessly without consulting Chairman Bi beforehand and without obtaining technical authorization from his uncle.

The two continued eating. Bian Mu sincerely hoped that Bi Shaoxiong would give up. There were countless roads leading to the valley of wealth and happiness, and he was so shrewd and capable. He could simply switch to a new project.

"Of all the doctors I know, you are the most special one, haha... Do you know what four words are on my mind right now?" Suddenly, Bi Shaoxiong looked up and said this.

Bian Mu smiled and gently shook his head.

“Heaven does not tolerate evil!” Bi Shaoxiong replied with a smile.

"Hahaha... Although it's an adaptation of an idiom, it's still a bit too much! No, no! Have you thought it through? How do you plan to handle the intellectual property rights?! That's something that truly belongs to your Bi family. If it ends up in court... it would be a huge loss for the entire Bi family!"

"It's not that serious... If you don't bring it up, I'll handle the necessary paperwork later. After all, we're family! My dad should be able to resolve this. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about business. Well... if all else fails, you'll have to negotiate with my uncle. After all, he owes you a life-saving favor."

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu was immediately displeased.

"Mr. Bi! We've always gotten along very well. What you're saying is practically dragging me down and damaging my medical ethics! That's a huge taboo in our profession! Using medical skills to bargain with patients?! Even the founding fathers wouldn't allow it!"

"Oh dear! I misspoke, I misspoke! I'm so sorry! Just pretend I didn't say anything!" Seeing Bian Mu's sudden change of expression, and knowing that it wasn't an act of feigned arrogance, Bi Shaoxiong's heart trembled inexplicably. He couldn't help but look at Bian Mu with new respect, and a sense of reverence naturally arose in his heart.

In the past two years, it's rare to see someone of Bian Mu's age still holding such a rigid professional ethics. It's a bit strange, but Bian Mu is indeed extraordinary!
"It's alright, we're from different professions after all! I understand. However, I must solemnly remind you that I do want to earn more money for my family, which is why I got involved in the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine. That's true. But doctors absolutely cannot use their medical skills to bargain with patients, really! From a metaphysical perspective, it will shorten their lifespan!"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! I promise, there will be absolutely no next time, this will never happen again!" Bi Shaoxiong was somewhat afraid of Bian Mu. The richer people were, the less they dared to offend such a divine doctor. Everyone knew this in their hearts!
Bian Mu had always had a very good impression of Bi Shaoxiong, so he naturally didn't mind. After all, he was a businessman! Habits are second nature, which is easy to understand. However, he had a certain sense of integrity, and he had to make sure that Bi Shaoxiong understood this clearly. At the very least, no matter how high the price, Bi Shaoxiong couldn't cross the red line deep in Bian Mu's heart!

"We might need to collaborate again in the future," Bian Mu said with a smile, changing the subject. The two chatted and laughed as they picked up their teacups and savored the aroma of tea...
