A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 428: Should the School Run a Pharmaceutical Factory?

Lin Sanqi has its own difficulties. The "African region" where it wants to export is still too backward and completely lacks modern industrial and chemical bases.

In 1961, China couldn’t even produce the most advanced medicines, let alone high-end technologies.

If you want to improve bioengineering and pharmaceutical technology, you must start from the basics. Without a foundation, the superstructure cannot be built.

Now writing novels also requires logic.

So I had to find an excuse.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi quickly sat closer and could only continue to make up lies and excuses:

"No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, I just want some basic medicines. These medicines are exported to Africa or South America. Those places are poor and they can't afford expensive medicines. I just want cheap and affordable ones."

Dean Wang smiled and said, "It's exporting to Africa again. You are doing very well in foreign trade."

Dean Xiang was joining this small group for the first time and was a little confused:

"It's not easy to do business in Africa. The black people in Huadu are dishonest. I heard that many companies would rather not make money than send goods to Africa, for fear of not being able to get paid."

Dean Zhang helped explain a few words: "Africa also depends on the region. Last time, Xiaolin exported a large number of second-hand instruments to Africa and made a lot of money."

Professor Lou pondered for a moment:
"If you export to Africa, it's not that good. But if you produce it domestically and then ship it to Africa, isn't the production cost too high? You can just invest and build a factory there."

Lin Sanqi waved his hands quickly:
"No, no, it's not safe over there. There are wars all the time and it's a mess. If I build a pharmaceutical factory, I will become a sitting duck for all kinds of armed groups. People will come to buy pharmaceuticals for free or collect protection money every day. How terrible it is."

This reason is quite sufficient. After all, human lives are worthless in Africa. All those who dare to invest in Africa are large state-owned enterprises. Only with the support of the country can their safety be guaranteed.

At this time, Dean Zhang of the School of Pharmacy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he obviously had an idea:
"Xiao Lin, since you want to set up a factory, it will take at least one or two years to buy land, go through formalities, buy machines, and hire workers. Otherwise, how about you just buy a pharmaceutical factory? Anyway, the drugs you need are low-end products, so you don't need advanced production lines."

Lin Sanqi's eyes lit up as well:
"Yes, this is a good idea. I have also thought about acquiring a pharmaceutical factory somewhere. It's just the end of the Chinese New Year, and I haven't gone to other places for inspection yet."

Dean Zhang was in a relaxed mood, leaning back in his chair: "No need to go out of town, our school has a school-run factory."

"School-run factory?"

It was the first time that Lin Sanqi heard that Huadu Medical University also had a school-run factory. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After all, a school-run factory was not easy to take over.

Because there is already a bad example,
For example, Wahaha started out as a school-run factory. After it became a joint-stock company, state-owned assets and employees held a large share of the shares.

When Boss Zong was alive, the relationship between the two sides was peaceful. But as soon as Boss Zong died, some people wanted to kick Xiao Zong out. They did something very dishonest and wiped out the entire family.

Another bad example is the Dongguan local enterprises Jianlibao and Jiaduobao, which were eventually destroyed due to various entanglements with some indescribable groups. Therefore, Lin Sanqi is not very willing to get involved in such a collective enterprise.

Seeing that Lin Sanqi was silent, Dean Zhang became anxious:

"Xiao Lin, there's no one around here right now, so you can tell me if you have any concerns or ideas."

Dean Wang knew the inside story, so he gave Lin Sanqi a few words:
"Xiao Lin, our Huadu Medical College actually has quite a few school-run industries. Have you heard of the Southern Pharmaceutical Factory? This is our school-run factory. To be more precise, it is an affiliated enterprise of Dean Zhang's School of Pharmacy.

The factory was established to solve the problem of insufficient education funds. The government also encouraged schools to set up their own factories and raise funds. So the School of Pharmacy took advantage of its own strengths to establish a pharmaceutical factory.

This is the same nature as the several hospitals affiliated to our Huadu Medical University. It is under the dual leadership of the school and the college. It is also collective in nature and has a staffing system.

In the 1990s, the pharmaceutical factory was still very prosperous. It not only made a lot of money for the school, but also became the internship base of the School of Pharmacy. It became a typical example of the integration of industry, academia and research and was praised by the superiors, right?"

Dean Zhang also sighed at this time:
"In the 21s, it was still a seller's market. We could sell as many drugs as we produced, and the demand for our products exceeded the supply. As a result, Southern Pharmaceutical Factory prospered for a while, but it stopped doing so after entering the st century.

It’s okay for us to talk about it ourselves. One reason is that pharmaceutical companies are too strictly regulated. When the old dean of our School of Pharmacy wanted to advertise on TV, the school refused to approve the advertising fees, saying that how could our collective enterprise pursue profits?

Later, we wanted to apply for an update of the production line. At that time, it would cost 5 million US dollars to import 2000 drug production lines from Japan, but the school also refused to approve it. The reason was that the school was supposed to let your pharmaceutical factory make money, but now you want the school to pay for it?

The last problem is that there are too many people and too little work. The leaders of the pharmaceutical factory are all part-time teachers from Huadu Medical University. They are all regular employees, and they get paid the same regardless of how much they work. Letting a group of scholars to do business, with high expectations but poor skills, the result is predictable.

Originally, the Southern Pharmaceutical Factory was still able to maintain its life, but the year before last, the director of the pharmaceutical factory, Lao Xu, was imprisoned for corruption, and several school leaders were implicated. It was at this time that the old principal stepped down. Now no one wants to touch this pharmaceutical factory, and it continues to rot.

Mr. Xiaolin, I will not hide it from you. The Southern Pharmaceutical Factory has now become a burden to our School of Pharmacy. Not only can it not make money for our school, but we have to subsidize the pharmaceutical factory with a large sum of money.

We are already short of teaching funds, and now we have to support such a "stupid son", which is not a double whammy. Now it just so happens that you have this need, and we have this pharmaceutical factory. If we sell it to you, our own student, no one can say it is wrong. "

Several other deans also spoke up for the School of Pharmacy:
"Yes, Xiaolin is a student we trained ourselves, so it's only natural for him to take over the pharmaceutical factory."

"The pharmaceutical factory is not bad. The land alone is worth a lot of money. The main problem is that collective enterprises are too rigid."

"The scholars' rebellion has failed in three years. If we can't run the factory ourselves, we should let it go."

Lin Sanqi's eyes were also rolling. He was not completely confident in these old guys. It was unlikely that they were deliberately trying to harm him. After all, there was a relationship of interest transfer between the two parties.

Lingnan Hall funded their research projects, and Lin Sanqi and his group also paid money to get antiques and gave them to several deans privately. It would be unreasonable and unethical for them to deliberately harm him.

But as the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others, because what if someone does anything to get rid of the burden?

"Dean Zhang, where is this Southern Pharmaceutical Factory?"

"It's in Huangpu, not far away, and it covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres. It has a ready-made research building, ready-made factory buildings, and even ready-made equipment and workers. You can take over and produce the medicine you want."

300 acres is not a small area. Lin Sanqi thought that he couldn’t even get 10 acres of land in Hong Kong.

Huangpu District is on the east side of the urban area, only 20 to 30 kilometers away from the city center. If you go from Tianhe, it is more than 10 kilometers away, which is very close and can be considered a prime location.

But Lin Sanqi still had another concern and decided to speak it out directly:
"President Zhang, I have two questions. One is how much money do I need to buy this pharmaceutical factory? The other is, are you planning to sell the pharmaceutical factory directly to me? Or are you planning to form a joint-stock partnership?"

Dean Zhang is also a straightforward person, and he said directly:
"I have no say on how much the pharmaceutical factory can be sold for. We need to evaluate its assets. Of course, I can give it to you at the lowest price. I will definitely lower the price to the lowest. According to the evaluation price a few years ago, the total assets of the pharmaceutical factory are about 15 billion yuan now."

Yin Lianyi almost spit out her tea.

Is 15 billion expensive? It’s really not expensive. Don’t forget that Southern Pharmaceutical Factory also has a large piece of land.

But Yin Lianyi was worried that Lingnan Tang’s capital chain could not support such a pharmaceutical factory. All she knew was that Lingnan Tang’s profit last year was only 5 million yuan. Now it wanted to take on a 15 billion project?

By then, a loan will be required, and Lingnan Hall's debt ratio will reach 200%, or even more. After all, Lingnan Hall is simply a shell company with no assets. How can you get a loan with mortgage?

(She didn’t know how many medicinal herbs and jades Lin Sanqi had)
The key point is that Lingnan Tang took over this pharmaceutical factory, which produces low-end drugs. Low-end means small profits and high competitive pressure. If things go wrong, the entire company may be dragged down.

Therefore, Yin Lianyi was extremely reluctant to let her boyfriend take over such a pharmaceutical factory as the risk was too high and there was no visible profit.

In fact, if we infer based on common sense, Yin Lianyi's worries are not unreasonable, but Lin Sanqi is not a person who plays by common sense.

Lin Sanqi was planning to spend 15 billion to buy a pharmaceutical factory. It seemed like a lot of money, but then he would be able to produce any medicine he wanted, especially tuberculosis medicine.

These tuberculosis drugs were sent through time to 1961, where they could be exchanged for a lot of rare supplies for him.

For example, it can be the old three things: ginseng, cordyceps, musk, etc., or it can be various precious jades, various teas, tangerine peel, Maotai liquor, etc.

If all else fails, you can go to the Ming Tombs and tear down the Ling'en Hall of some emperor, and sell him pieces of golden nanmu wood at a discount. A piece of golden nanmu wood that is so thick that three people can hug it must be worth tens of billions, right?

Should there be punishment?
Anyway, as long as we get some supplies from 1961, they would be worth tens or hundreds of billions. Compared with the current pharmaceutical factories worth 15 billion, it's just a drizzle. This business can be done.

Dean Zhang saw Lin Sanqi nod slightly, so he became more confident:

"Also, is the pharmaceutical factory going to be sold to you as a package, or as a joint-stock partnership? The school has discussed this before, and the school's opinion is to go with a joint-stock partnership and introduce foreign capital. What do you think, Xiaolin?"

Lin Sanqi shook his head like a rattle at this time:
"I don't accept joint-stock cooperation." (End of this chapter)
