Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 632, Walk Others' Paths, Leaving Them with No Path to Walk
I returned to the department.

Looking at the busy workers in the factory, Wang Qingsong knew that these people would become every drop of water in the future wave.

In reality, most of these people are just following the trend.

Only a few people can see the opportunity and use it to achieve upward social mobility.

Although workers will be the dominant force in the future.

However, many people with impeccable political backgrounds have also joined this group.

I have impeccable political background, so I don't think there will be any major problems.

I'll find an opportunity to join in the future, just hang around there, and sometimes I can lend a hand to those in need.

He needs an opportunity!
That is this fall and winter.

At that time, he will need to publicly change his file to: worker!
Many people did this back then.

When the Down to the Countryside Movement began, all those college students changed their personnel files to read: Worker!

Then they were assigned to various factories.

Government agencies, on the other hand, have very few.

I pulled myself out of my thoughts and stopped thinking about the question.

hold on!
I snapped out of my thoughts and went to work quietly; I had a big meeting this afternoon!
……

At noon, Wang Qingsong went to Hong Kong Island as usual.

Today's feedback is about drug sales in the United States. The drug was launched in March of this year, and the second month of sales has now ended.

He's going to check the results.

The last time I left, it was in the underground parking garage.

He reappeared, this time directly inside the car in the garage.

Push open the door and head straight to the elevator.

I took the elevator up to the floor where Du Wanting was located.

At that moment, Du Wanting was on the phone. When she saw him come in, she gestured to him and continued making the call.

A few minutes later, she hung up the phone.

He chuckled, "Want to see the data for these two medicines?"

Wang Qingsong sat down with a smile: "Yes, that's right! How's the data? What are the figures?"

Du Wanting, holding a folder, smiled and said, "Guess!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingsong pondered.

It had only been listed for a month last month.

It brought him more than 2000 million US dollars in foreign exchange, something he really couldn't have guessed this month.

To be honest, he was quite disappointed with the data.

It's worth noting that in later years, the company sold nearly a billion dollars in the first month alone, and in the following years, it generated tens of billions of dollars in revenue annually.

However, considering that these medicines were developed in different eras.

It may decline.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Fifty million? No, eighty million!"

He tried to report as high a position as possible.

Du Wanting shook her head: "Be bolder! Report an even higher figure!"

These words made Wang Qingsong very happy; it seemed he could go even higher.

"1 billion?"

"wrong!"

"Twenty million!"

"Still not right!"

Wang Qingsong was pleasantly surprised, then laughed and said, "Tell me, how much is it?"

Seeing this, Du Wanting laughed and said, "Our response wasn't very good in the first month, but this month, it exploded. Atorvastatin totaled 280 million. Sildenafil was 21 million, not counting the odd amounts."

Upon hearing this number, Wang Qingsong also gasped.

In the past two years, An Ding also achieved annual sales of one billion US dollars.

But when he heard that his medicine had sold for such a high price, he was still excited.

There's just too much money.

In that case, the sales revenue in the first year could reach three to four billion, although it is not as terrifying as the tens of billions in later years.

But he was already very satisfied with this number.

After deducting operating costs and taxes, the estimated annual revenue is around 3 billion.

This is a golden hen that lays eggs.

During the at least 20-year patent protection period for the drug, the annual income will not be too low.

He then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "A quarter of this money will be used to buy various stocks in the United States, half will be transferred to Hong Kong to start buying stocks, and the remaining half will be used to buy ships."

Upon hearing this, Du Wanting pondered for a moment and said, "But our ship's construction schedule is already booked for three years from now. Do we still want to buy it?"

"purchase!"

Based on the current price of $100 per ton.

A 1000-ton cargo ship costs only $10 million.

The Suez Canal will be blocked for eight years!

Where is this?

In the year before the end of the project, he sold off all his old ships and smaller vessels.

Du Wanting shook her head speechlessly: "Aren't you afraid of something going wrong? Some shareholders at Dongfang Shipping have already withdrawn their shares."

This amount of money is simply too large.

If you quit, you'll really lose everything.

Wang Qingsong smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, you'll know my decision in a year at most."

"You mean there's already some activity in the Middle East?"

Du Wanting asked a question thoughtfully.

Wang Qingsong nodded: "Yes! Fighting has already started, but the situation is still unclear."

The fighting started this spring.

The Suez Canal was blocked by bombing ships when the Suez Canal was in a weaker position.

It's not that time yet.

Du Wanting responded with a soft "hmm".

She thought Wang Qingsong was making money because there was war there, which made it inconvenient for ships to pass by, reducing the number of ships and causing shipping prices to rise.

But she could never have guessed that the Suez Canal would one day be closed.

He shook his head and didn't ask any further questions.

She discovered that Wang Qingsong was very sensitive to major international events, and wondered if it was because of his status that he had some information that ordinary people did not know.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he said, "Alright then! I'll do as you say!"

Then, as if remembering something, she said, "Oh, right, the biotechnology expert you asked Shirley to find, she found one for you. What kind of genetically modified organism are you planning to make?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingsong was taken aback.

He then laughed and said, "Really? How's your skill level?"

"He is a professor of agriculture at the University of California and is also an expert in biotechnology. The University of California has the strongest agricultural technology in the world. He was invited here by people from the Chinese University of Hong Kong."

The Chinese University of Hong Kong Island?

He knew, of course, that this was the second school on Hong Kong Island.

It broke the ironclad rule that only one university was allowed to exist in British colonies, and at the same time launched a Chinese language movement, successfully ending the monopoly of English as the official language.

It is both a watershed moment in British colonial history and a symbol of the decolonization of Asia in the 20th century, and has certain historical significance.

The school was formed by merging several Chinese colleges, and the people in charge of leading the effort were all Chinese.

With that in mind, he said, "Okay! In the company's name, we will donate HK$1000 million to the school. I'd like to arrange a meeting with this professor."

The donation wasn't solely for the professors; it was also a way of showing respect for them.

Furthermore, the company will collaborate with the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the future, gradually recruiting students from the university.

Du Wanting nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away! But the professor might not be willing to see you!"

Wang Qingsong smiled indifferently upon hearing this.

"It's alright! Give him a copy of the information I gave you. I believe he'll be interested."

He has two sets of documents.

One was a broad-spectrum herbicide developed by Monsanto four years later.

草甘膦

The world's most used herbicide.

Genetically modified soybeans were developed based on glyphosate resistance, while the latter is the concept behind genetically modified soybeans.

He wants to develop it before the 1980s.

Remembering the information she had received a few months ago, Du Wanting agreed, "Okay, I understand. I'll find some time to have Shirley inquire about the situation." Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Now that the pharmaceutical industry has a large amount of foreign exchange, it allows him to acquire a large amount of land in Hong Kong Island in a short period of time.

Various investments can now be started.

This period has been a time when traditional companies, such as pharmaceuticals and energy, are making big money, but these are all established companies.

The medicines were also some he brought; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get in.

Even if you manage to get in, you'll only be earning a meager living.

It's not like now, where you can make so much money.

However, in the 1960s, semiconductor companies around the world began to exert their efforts, and many of the tech giants that would become today would be established in the next few years, so he was bound to get involved.

After all, he cannot achieve an absolute monopoly.

Now, pharmaceuticals are actually the most profitable business in his company.

Technology still needs some time to begin to show its potential.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he asked, "Oh, by the way, are they also developing the other prescriptions I gave them?"

He specifically went to the future and arranged for some of those important medicines according to the years.

While not every single one is a bestseller, there are some in every field.

As for the hit products, he plans to release some every now and then.

Follow other people's paths, leaving them with no path to follow.

Du Wanting hummed in agreement: "Yes, it's already under development. Do I need to report back to you on the progress?"

"No need, just leave it to Shirley to handle."

With so many things to manage, how could he possibly handle them all?

As long as money keeps coming in on time, and the company gradually grows in the global market, that's all that matters.

He didn't care much about the rest.

As for the company going public!

He's not considering it for now.

He doesn't have enough capital means right now. If he lets these people gradually acquire shares and then forces a takeover, it will be troublesome.

The important thing is that he feels he won't lack money for future development.

Or rather, they won't lack small sums of money.

Of course, we might choose to list some companies in the future; after all, it would be a fool not to make money from Westerners.

Once he was sure there was nothing else going on, he left.

As for the other companies, I already inquired about their situations yesterday.

The company's computer has been successfully developed after such a long period of research.

The company's word processors have already entered the US market and are now selling very well there, and are beginning to expand into Europe.

The CD player has been successfully developed, and the factory is currently assembling components. It is estimated that it will be available for sale by the end of the year.

An LCD display factory is also under preparation.

Flexible LCD displays have many uses.

In the future, various electronic products such as digital cameras will all need this thing.

The later stages of research and development also got on track.

Overall, the trend is very positive.

Unfortunately, he can only acquire a limited number of military technologies, except for drones.

All I could do was gather some relevant information.

For mainland China, it remains only on paper.

However, he also knew that after August of this year, even if he managed to get things to the mainland, it wouldn't be of much use.

If everyone who's doing the research stops by then, what's the point?

In addition, he also developed a 1G mobile network technology and had Spock and his team study it. He even went to the future and bought a few old-fashioned mobile phones.

The idea was to participate in the construction of the US 1G communication network infrastructure.

As for 2G.
He can only launch 2G equipment once the research team has sufficient technology, and all of this takes time.

If the technology for 1G already exists, researching it can be done very quickly.

Spock's team is now growing larger and larger.

There are over a thousand people.

There's nothing he can do; the few industries he's acquired seem to consist of only a handful of projects.

However, it involves a very wide range of industrial chains.

Those who don't have the necessary skills either need to acquire or merge with other companies, or recruit relevant talent from universities or overseas.

Fortunately, the company's products are groundbreaking in the industry.

Of course, the actual scientific research is probably still quite weak, mainly relying on the support of big names like Spock and the technology he brought over.

But this is a good start.

In a few years, these people will have grown up.

It will support the entire company.

……

Back in Beijing, after a short rest, I was informed that a factory-wide meeting was to be held.

Factory-wide meetings are held very infrequently.

Every time it's a big deal.

really.

The meeting then began, and Director Fang gave a detailed introduction to the members of the investigation team.

At the meeting, Director Fang first gave a very profound self-criticism, reflecting on the mistakes he had made in his daily work.

He spoke with tears streaming down his face.

I feel like I've let this person down, and I've let that person down too.

The people in the factory felt that they couldn't forgive Director Fang and that they themselves were inhuman.

……

Deputy Factory Director Liang frowned as he looked at the report in his hand.

He then looked at Deputy Factory Director Gao beside him, puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Lao Fang? This isn't like him!"

Deputy Factory Director Gao was also puzzled.

The two of them have already discussed the current situation.

Based on the results and process of the urban and rural social education movement, they both felt that they must adopt a humble attitude at this meeting.

There are definitely errors.

Definitely.

Therefore, a review is necessary.

But these are all trivial matters, and there's really nothing seriously wrong with pursuing them.

It's about diverting people's attention.

Yes, this person has already made a deep self-criticism and must have deeply realized their mistakes, so there's no need to keep an eye on them.

That's what I mean.

But today, Lao Fang meant something similar.

and……

Moreover, his self-criticism was even more profound than ours.

But upon closer listening, it seems there's nothing wrong with it.

Deputy Factory Director Gao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what happened either. We both know Lao Fang's personality quite well. Over the years, he's always had a temper that explodes at the slightest provocation. How could he do something so self-defeating?"

Deputy Factory Director Liang frowned upon hearing this.

But his mind was racing, and for a moment he couldn't quite understand this familiar old Fang anymore.

He shook his head and watched quietly.

……

Wang Qingsong listened from below.

Today is just the beginning; there's more to the investigation!
If someone really has a problem, it will definitely be blown out of proportion.

For people who don't have many of these problems, the first year is the most confusing.

The situation improved somewhat the following year after the establishment of the inter-district committee.

If they don't collapse this year, at least half of them will be able to stay in their current management positions later on.

However, at that time, the titles were no longer used for factory director and deputy factory director.

Instead, it was a certain director.
