Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Because of the uniqueness and unparalleled efficacy of scar removal medication, and also because more people know and understand scar removal medication, sales last year increased fivefold compared to the previous year.

However, because the raw material supplier changed and the raw material price dropped significantly, the total cost was only three times higher than the previous year. This huge difference between the two resulted in the pharmaceutical company's net profit exceeding 500,000 last year, just 20,000 short of 600,000!

The fact that a small pharmaceutical factory located in a county town, and one that only produced a single product, could generate such high profits in the 80s shows just how shockingly high the profits in the pharmaceutical industry were.

The reason why the net profit was so high was definitely due to the contributions of Wu Dong, Zhang Shuya, and the other five people.

The phrase "greedy for money" is very applicable in all walks of life.

Therefore, many eyes in the county town, as well as many eyes in nearby counties and even many eyes in the city, have long been focused on DJ County Pharmaceutical Factory.

But these eyes have only one purpose: to gain an advantage, to get a share of the pie, or even to steal it outright.

That's right, that's how straightforward and direct he is, without even the slightest bit of pretense.

Unfortunately, although these people are very capable and their strength in all aspects should not be underestimated, what they are facing is the ceiling of Heilongjiang Province.

Needless to say, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and Zhang Shuya, the three powerful figures in DJ County, are not even figures like He Liang and Ma Guoqiang, who are just minor figures in DJ County's political circles. They are not people they can deal with.

Unfortunately, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang were only on the periphery of DJ County, but other members of their families were quite powerful in other counties or even other cities.

It's no exaggeration to say that those people's strength is in no way inferior to that of Wu Dong, Zhang Shuya, and Wang Shuai in DJ County.

Therefore, over the course of nearly a year, all those who wanted to take advantage of the pharmaceutical factory were thwarted by Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya and their group.

Many people have been sent inside, and they certainly won't be able to get out anytime soon. It's also possible that many of them will die inside.

There's no way around it; as the saying goes, "cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents." And in this kind of struggle over money and interests, it's basically a fight to the death, and a peaceful resolution is simply out of the question.

Of course, judging from what Wu Dong and the others said, Brother Yu, who was far away in Bingcheng, also contributed a lot.

Overall, despite being targeted by numerous people over the past year, the pharmaceutical factory remains firmly in place, with no change of ownership or new shareholders, and its profits are steadily increasing.

After discussion, it was decided that each of the ten shareholders would receive a dividend of 3 yuan, and the remaining profit of more than 18 yuan would be used to expand the factory, recruit more employees, and increase machinery and equipment and other expenses next year.

However, while everyone was discussing matters, Wang An discovered something rather amusing.

Those were the same people who had just been saying that drinking sheep's blood was fine, but now their faces were flushed, they were wiping away sweat, and they had all taken off their padded jackets and coats.

It's clear that the heat from the sheep's blood has increased!

Wang An had previously heard a saying that there are three pure yang bodies in the world: besides the tiger and the rooster, the remaining one is the sika deer.

It is said that if a person drinks a few mouthfuls of sika deer blood during the coldest winter months, once the blood's heat rises, they can roll around in the snow shirtless.

Although Wang An didn't dare to experiment with it, it's true that people become more resistant to cold after drinking deer blood wine.

Furthermore, although Wang An only drank a small spoonful of sheep's blood this morning, his fur coat has remained in the car ever since he left Gong'anju. The key point is that Wang An did not turn on the car's heater.

Even at this moment, Wang An was only wearing a sweater and a thin coat, without even a padded jacket.

Keep in mind that the outdoor temperature was nearly -30 degrees Celsius. If Wang An were to go outside in his clothes, they would freeze completely in just two or three seconds. In just a few hours, he would freeze to death.

But the most amazing thing is that Wang An didn't feel cold at all.

This shows just how incredibly high and terrifying the calories must be in that small spoonful of sheep's blood.

Having just finished discussing the pharmaceutical factory, He Liang glanced at his watch and immediately said:

"Hey, you guys keep chatting, I suddenly remembered I have something to do and I need to go home."

As he spoke, He Liang put on his clothes, grabbed the bottle of hanging sheep's blood and two pieces of hanging mutton, and hurriedly walked out. However, He Liang's walking posture was quite strange at this time. Although he was a young man with a straight posture, he walked with his back slightly bent.

It was obvious that this was because a great deal of primordial power had gathered somewhere in He Liang's body, but the presence of his pants was restricting this power, forcing him to walk with his back bent to reduce the "bumps" he would suffer.

Despite the absurdity of the situation, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and Ma Guoqiang didn't laugh, as if they didn't care at all.

Of course, showing concern is useless, because the three of them are already too busy taking care of themselves.

As He Liang hurriedly left, Ma Guoqiang quickly added:
"Dongzi, Shuaizi, you two chat with Xiao An for a while. It's too hot in here. I need to go out for a walk. After that, I have to go back to the office."

Turning his head, Ma Guoqiang smiled at Wang An and said:

"Xiao An, when are we free to get together again? I have some things to take care of at work."

After saying that, Ma Guoqiang also left with the sheep's blood and meat.

Only then did Wang An burst out laughing. He then stood up and said to Wu Dong and Wang Shuai:
"Hahahaha. I told you you can't drink sheep's blood like this, but you didn't believe me. Alright, my two brothers, I'm leaving now. You two can figure out how to deal with this yourselves."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Shuai immediately said to Wu Dong:
"I've got Dongzi. You can stay home by yourself. I'm going home to practice my boxing."

Wu Dong said, somewhat embarrassed and awkwardly:

"Holy crap, this stuff really has a strong aftereffect. I can't drink like this again."

Wang An smiled, said nothing, and walked directly outside.

After Wang An and Wang Shuai drove out of Wu Dong's house, Wang An saw in the rearview mirror that Wu Dong had actually closed the front door—no, locked it from the inside.

Locking the gate in broad daylight, who knows what Wu Dong is up to? However, while Wang An was talking to Wu Dong and the others, he heard Wu Dong's wife making noise in the west room.

As Wang An drove, he couldn't help but burst into laughter when he thought about how ridiculous the four guys had looked earlier.

To be honest, although Wang An hadn't drunk much of the sheep's blood and had been wearing a sweater and a thin coat for so long, he was still feeling unwell and desperately needed to chat with Sun Nian to relieve the discomfort.

The main problem is that intense heat emanating from within, which really makes people very agitated and gives them an extremely strong urge to be with women.

After leaving Wu Dong's house, Wang An first went to the market and bought two mandarin fish and three catties of forest frogs, as well as two pieces of tofu. Then he went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought soy sauce, salt, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and other seasonings before driving to Sun Nian's house.

Upon seeing the forest frogs, Wang An suddenly realized that he should also go to the river and dig a hole in the ice to catch some hibernating forest frogs to eat.

You should know that at this time of year, the forest frogs have already eaten all the food in their stomachs, and they are completely empty.

Upon arriving at Sun Nian's house, Wang An used the key that Sun Nian had kept in his pocket to open the gate and drove the GAZ directly into the yard.

Wang An opened the outer door, carried a basket of firewood into the house, filled the stove with wood, and lit it.

With a fire burning in the stove, Wang An went inside to light the stove as well before starting to cook.

There were only two dishes: fish stew with tofu and braised frog in soy sauce. Wang An cooked them very quickly.

After Wang An put the cooked food in the pot to keep it warm, Sun Nian drove back in her brand new 212.

To be honest, Sun Nian, this delicate beauty, looks quite dignified and has a unique charm when driving a very wild SUV like the 212.

As soon as Sun Nian's car entered the courtyard, Wang An impatiently locked the gate.

Wang An mainly felt that his battle with Sun Nian would be very long, and he was worried that some inconsiderate person might interrupt their good time together. That would be incredibly frustrating! (End of Chapter)
