Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 486 Japan's Plans and Wang Mengde's Opinions
Japanese country.

Mitsui family.

The head of the Mitsui family sat comfortably on the sofa, his face gloomy.

He glanced at the important clan members who were all asleep with their heads down, and sneered inwardly.

These so-called family members must all be hoping for their own early demise so they can divide up the family's wealth and enrich their own branch.

However, through his ruthless methods, he eliminated several ringleaders with bloodshed and cruelty.

For the time being, the family has become his personal fiefdom.

However, this method of suppressing a volcanic eruption with high pressure is certainly not sustainable.

They're just waiting for an opportunity, and then they could explode completely.

If I lose, I will surely be shattered to pieces.

However, the Mitsui clan chief did not care.

Since his only son, Mitsui Shigeru, died of a heart attack a few years ago, he has become increasingly reckless in his actions.

Since there was no hope left, and there wouldn't even be anyone to offer sacrifices after I died, why would I care about being shattered to pieces?

"Well, the main reason I've invited everyone here today is to discuss an important matter."

A few minutes later, seeing the family members sitting in the two rows below, all behaving properly and with calm expressions, the Mitsui clan head finally spoke up, somewhat reluctantly.

Just now, he deliberately remained silent for more than ten minutes, just to see if anyone else would take the lead.

Then they'll make an example of someone.

pity.

After killing several waves, those remaining were all old foxes.

Even if he spits in someone's face, he won't care at all, and will greet them with a smile, not giving them any chance or excuse to retaliate.

"As you all know, Japan has established diplomatic relations with China."

Now, the Mitsui family has a chance to once again rise to the top of the world. I plan to send some family members, leading a team, to China for an investigation.

Please feel free to offer any suggestions or differing opinions; everyone is encouraged to speak freely.

After speaking, Chief Mitsui narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the expressions on the faces of the old men in the front row.

These old guys are all his uncles and cousins.

If his son, Mitsui Shigeru, hadn't died, he would have eliminated these dissidents long ago, clearing the way for his son to take over.

But now everything has vanished.

Therefore, it is permissible for these people to exist beside one's bed.

When the clan chief raised this important matter, none of the dozen or so people sitting in the two rows below uttered any objections.

On the contrary, everyone unanimously agreed:

"I admire the clan leader's foresight."

"I also fully support the clan leader's proposal. I believe that under the clan leader's leadership, the Mitsui family will surely be able to return to the top of the world."

"Chief, just give the order, we just need to carry it out."

"Yes, follow the clan leader, and you'll have money and beautiful women."

Even if these people were unwilling, they wouldn't dare to say it to someone's face.

After all, the lesson from the past was just a few days ago.

The remains of those dozens of people are still lying outside; they were all members of the Mitsui family.

He was killed on a whim simply because he disobeyed the Mitsui clan chief.

Therefore, everyone was on edge and dared not freely express their personal opinions.

Everyone is waiting for the moment the volcano erupts, hoping that a few hotheads will lose their patience and then they can reap the benefits.

However, everyone here is a seasoned fox, and they all have enough patience.

The Mitsui family is safe and sound for the time being.

Seeing that the rest of the family, including several uncles and elders, were all flattering and subservient to him, the Mitsui clan head was very pleased.

Now, without a son, his happiest thing every day is keeping his word.

Then watch as your family and subordinates submit.

This greatly satisfied his twisted psychology.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled."

He nodded in satisfaction, his stern face relaxing considerably.
"By the way, this trip to China also has a secret mission: to steal some technology and acquire cheap resources from China."

As for how to do it, I will give you individual instructions after the representatives are elected.

Now, who among you is willing to represent the Mitsui family in China? You may volunteer, or recommend other outstanding family members.

After he finished speaking, he leaned back and waited for the others to react.

His son, Mitsui Shigeru, returned from China, but died suddenly three months later.

But he still had his suspicions.

This matter may be related to Wang Mengde, the famous Chinese medical scientist.

Because there was no concrete evidence, the matter was dropped.

However, even without concrete evidence, he harbored the idea of ​​"better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free" and was prepared to sabotage China's medical industry.

The first step was to use commercial means and some special methods to turn China into a raw material supply base.

The Mitsui family, on the other hand, controlled the sales channels.

In the future, we will have the final say on the high-end medicinal materials in the global market.

At this time.

One of the elders, trembling, was the first to stand up and loudly proclaimed:

"Clan leader, in order to support you, I have sent my two grandsons as representatives of the clan to China to complete the mission."

He has thought this through carefully.

The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan was a major event with significant international implications.

There are naturally many opportunities here.

After all, China had experienced a period of decline in the past hundred years.

But after all, it is an ancient civilization with thousands of years of history, and its ancestors were glorious for thousands of years.

Moreover, after more than 20 years of development, it still has its foundation and naturally has many good things.

In particular, the cultural and technological developments over thousands of years are something that Japan envies.

Furthermore, its vast territory and abundant resources, along with various precious resources, are also something that Japan lacks.

This time, as long as the two grandsons successfully complete their mission and bring immense benefits to the family, they can wait until Mitsui Shigeru dies or is reduced to ashes by a volcanic eruption.

There is a very high probability that someone from their own lineage will become the patriarch and control the vast Mitsui family.

Even if we fail to complete the task, it doesn't matter.

Unlike Mitsui Shigeru, he worked hard when he was young and had three sons, who in turn gave him eleven grandsons.

Even if two were to be sacrificed, he would only feel a pang of regret for a while; it wouldn't have a significant impact on his own lineage.

Seeing that the old man had taken the lead, the other elders cursed him inwardly and then rushed to recommend their own nephews and nieces.

finally.

Because so many people were willing to go to China, after fierce competition, the number of family representatives increased from two to six.

Once the person has been selected.

The Mitsui clan chief then secretly summoned these men to a room and personally instructed them on many strategies. Mid-May.

Wang Mengde was summoned from Guang'anmen Hospital by his superiors.

Upon arrival, I saw many unfamiliar faces gathered in a conference room.

After a brief introduction, it was discovered that these people were not medical experts or renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but rather leaders of large units under various health and family planning departments.

For example, the top executives of several large pharmaceutical factories and medical device manufacturing units are prominently listed.

Some of them even looked familiar. After thinking carefully, Wang Mengde remembered that these were the comrades in charge of a certain link in China's pharmaceutical export.

Seeing these people there, he had some doubts in his mind.

I don't know why I was called over here too.

They weren't kept waiting long; a few minutes later, several superiors walked in.

"Comrades, I have gathered you all here today because there is something that requires our collective thought."

The top leader from the higher-level department, seated in the main seat, went straight to the point:

"Last year, China and Japan established diplomatic relations. With diplomatic ties, there will naturally be commercial exchanges and interactions."

Recently, Japan sent a large delegation to China for business investigation.

Because of the unique nature of commerce in our country, they won't invest in building factories; instead, they will cooperate in foreign trade exports.

"This time, the Japanese delegation included members of the Mitsui family, who proposed a cooperation plan to strengthen business ties through a series of import and export transactions of Chinese herbal medicines."

Every year, a huge sum of money will be invested in purchasing valuable Chinese herbal medicines.

This number will increase every year, and for long-term cooperation, it is best to sign an ultra-long-term contract.

They provided a preliminary plan: the cooperation would last at least fifty years, and there would be no room for reneging; otherwise, an exorbitant penalty would be imposed.

"There were no clear instructions from above regarding the Mitsui family's cooperation plan. Instead, the health and family planning department was instructed to organize relevant personnel to conduct an evaluation."

The evaluation report will be submitted later, and then the higher-ups will make a judgment based on the specific circumstances.

"So, the reason I've gathered everyone here today is to brainstorm and see if we should cooperate with the Mitsui family."

Actually, when they first learned of this news, the top leaders of the health and family planning department did not want to agree.

However, other leaders in the department wanted to do this business.

The reasons given were also quite valid.

After all, this is a good thing that is profitable in the long run and never loses.

The price offered by the Mitsui family was 30% higher than the market price.

Furthermore, a fifty-year contract can be signed, with each year's quantity agreed to be 10% higher than the previous year.

The other party also revealed that the amount in the first year would not be less than three hundred million US dollars.

This figure, while not particularly impressive compared to the two billion dollars annually, is still significant.

But it is still a huge amount.

This has greatly appealed to some leaders.

If we add this year's pharmaceutical export value to the $300 million in medicinal herb exports, the growth rate will be quite impressive.

These are all political achievements.

Because of differing opinions, the top leaders of the health and family planning department could not forcefully refuse.

Thus, this meeting took place.

After hearing this, Wang Mengde was taken aback.

In his previous life, he had vaguely heard that in the 1970s and 80s, Japan used commercial and other means to monopolize the export of China's precious Chinese herbal medicines.

It seems.

Thanks to him, Japan was able to implement the plan ahead of schedule.

Thinking about this, he didn't say it directly, wanting to see what other people thought about it.

"Distinguished leaders, my opinion is that we can agree to it."

This is a 50-year business, costing at least three hundred million US dollars annually. With this money, our country's development will accelerate significantly.

The leader of a medical device manufacturing company was the first to speak.

He set his sights on the $300 million in foreign exchange earnings, which would increase by 10% each year thereafter.

In a few years, this will be a business that doubles in value.

The medical device manufacturing company he works for has an annual output value of only tens of millions of yuan.

With this foreign exchange income, their company might be able to replace its equipment, expand its scale, and produce more products.

"I think we need to be careful about this."

Japan isn't a philanthropist; they must have some interests to gain from signing a contract with us.

"We can handle the business of valuable Chinese herbal medicines ourselves; there's no need for others to go through the middle and take a cut of the profits."

The manager of another pharmaceutical manufacturing plant raised a different opinion.

After six or seven years of consolidation, domestic pharmaceutical factories have now formed two large trusts, one in the south and one in the north.

In addition to Wang Mengde's influence, the number of Chinese and Western medicines in China has increased far more than in the original history.

This has led to each pharmaceutical manufacturing plant, over the years, becoming a small behemoth.

In particular, the pharmaceutical export business has continued to grow every year, and many pharmaceutical companies have benefited from this growth, and are now extremely arrogant.

With so many medicines produced every day, their demand for raw materials is extremely high.

Therefore, there is a natural resistance to Japan's desire to purchase large quantities of precious medicinal materials.

Apart from the leaders of the higher-level departments, there were about twenty people present, including Wang Mengde.

These people split into two groups, one of whom supported the viewpoint of the leader of the medical device manufacturing unit.

Another group supported the opinion of the pharmaceutical factory manager.

The ratio of the two sides was about 7:13, with a significant number of people supporting the pharmaceutical factory director.

Both sides presented the facts and reasoned with each other, engaging in a heated debate.

Of course, everyone was just stating the facts and there wasn't much personal bias involved.

The higher-ups listened attentively and occasionally joined in the discussion, though they also disagreed.

More than half an hour later.

The senior leader of the higher-level department watched as the argument in the conference room continued unabated. At the same time, he noticed that Wang Mengde hadn't said much, but was just watching the two sides argue with great interest.

So he coughed twice to attract everyone's attention.

After the meeting room quieted down, he smiled and said, "Comrade Wang Mengde, what is your opinion?"

Everyone else turned to look over, eager to hear what insightful opinions this person had to offer.

"Distinguished leaders, my opinion is that China's traditional Chinese medicine, especially precious and scarce medicinal materials, should not be exported lightly."

Wang Mengde raised his head, expressed his opinion, and then explained:

"First of all, the quantity of these precious medicinal materials is too small. If they are exported to Japan in large quantities, there will be a shortage in China, and the foreign market will be taken over by others."

Ultimately, China could only become a supplier of cheap raw materials, unable to obtain the added value of medicinal herbs.

"At the same time, if we develop a certain medicine in the future and need some of its medicinal materials, we may have to buy them from Japan."

The purchase price might be several times higher than the export price.

"Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that the cost-effectiveness of exported medicinal materials is not high."
