Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 263 Eating hot pot

Yu Yang understands the difference between the Foggy City and Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, capital has the final say.

In the Foggy City, executives have the final say.

Therefore, if someone wants to meet your local boss, he is most likely a tool used by the locals to test their attitude.

You know, Sanyuan Agriculture has a lot of investments in the southwest region.

For example, Wudu Sanyuan Pharmaceutical Corporation.

It has jurisdiction over more than 1,300 pharmacies in Bashu, Nanyun, Guizhou and Tibet.

It is also the transit station for medicines and medicinal materials of Sanyuan Pharmaceutical in the southwest region.

If we count the testing and inspection equipment owned by township pharmacies, the domestic spiral CT and domestic MRI scanners owned by county-level pharmacies, the genetic medicine warehouses and domestic gene sequencing devices owned by municipal-level pharmacies, and so on.

Including its huge supply system, accounting firms and law firms, it has more than 7000 employees and total assets of more than 300 billion red cash.

Those people, if they take a little from their own homes, can feed their families for generations.

And we also have the following in the southwest:
The Southwest United Front Work Department of High-speed Railway is responsible for the planning, exploration, and construction of projects such as "Fog City → Bashu Tianfu", "Fog City → Nanyun Kuncheng", and "Fog City → Xijiang One-third Section".

The Southwest Branch of the Trade Hall is responsible for supplying fruits and vegetables, fresh meat, various seasonings, building materials and steel, cement products, clothing, shoes and hats, etc., as well as purchasing minerals, medicinal materials, prescriptions, wood, etc.

The Southwest Aid Project is responsible for planting and breeding, tourism construction, scenic spot development, poverty alleviation education, etc. in Bashu and Nanyun.

These three major projects include investment from three sets of enterprises, investment from three sets of partners, mutual investment from four southern provinces, investment from the trade hall, and funding from higher authorities.

If we can save a little more, those people's cousins ​​will be able to go abroad.

Unfortunately, I found the wrong person.

Yu Yang temporarily ignored the local tyrant who wanted to meet him, and first visited the Fog City Sanyuan Pharmaceutical Head Office.

The six-storey building has a single floor area of ​​2200 square meters.

Pharmacy business on the first floor,
Pharmacy finance on the second floor.

The third floor medicinal materials business,

Medicinal materials finance on the fourth floor.

The fifth floor is used for drug storage.

Offices and conference rooms on the sixth floor.

There are also underground floors one and two for storing medical equipment.

After a brief understanding, Yu Yang went to the basement level to check out the second batch of domestic spiral CT and domestic MRI scanners purchased by Sanyuan Pharmaceutical for Sanyuan pharmacies in the southwest region after Sanyuan Pharmaceutical signed cooperation agreements with Neusoft and Anke respectively in mid-year this year.

Normally speaking, there is a big difference in function and accuracy between domestically produced medical devices these days and the Japanese-made medical devices provided by Fujima.

However, the three industries are sanctioned by North America, and Sanyuan Pharmaceutical does not have to worry about patent authorization at all.

In addition, the three-series industry can supply high-tech materials, extract ammonia coolant, and customize high-precision mechanical devices...

Therefore, this batch of medical devices without a manufacturer, a production site, or a health permit code are not much different from the Japanese version of the same specification medical devices.

One could even say they were 'carved from the same mold'.

The person in charge of Wudu Sanyuan Pharmaceutical Company introduced:
"Mr. Yu, the second batch of medical equipment for the southwest region includes 1.2 ventilators, 6500 biochemical analyzers, 4600 operating room control systems, 6000 two-dimensional B-ultrasound machines, 3000 four-dimensional color ultrasound machines, 1800 CT scans, and 600 MRI machines. Currently, one-tenth of the equipment has arrived. It is expected that all of them will be installed in county-level pharmacies before January next year."

"Push the manufacturer a little harder and try to get it done by mid-December. By then you can appear on the Oriental Radio News and report the good news to your superiors in Beijing on New Year's Day."

"..."

"These days, with our scale, size, and influence, we are a giant no matter where we are. But as the person in charge of a giant, you can't handle a few local tyrants. The brothers are very disappointed."

After Yu Yang's inspection, he came to the staff restaurant which had been prepared long ago, sat in front of the hot pot, and tasted his own pot, his own ingredients, his own vegetables, and his own meat, while the person in charge of the company stood by and waited.

"See? This is what happens when you are bullied. Others eat meat and drink soup while you can only watch helplessly."

"Director Yu, many of our projects here require approval from others and signatures on documents. If things get too awkward, I'm worried that it will end badly."

"Whoever refuses to sign, we will find a way to replace him. After all, no one is irreplaceable, and there are many motivated people below... On the other hand, who can replace our Sanyuan Pharmaceutical? Look around the East, is there anyone? No, this is your confidence."

The person in charge of Wudu Sanyuan Pharmaceutical took a deep breath and said, "But what if we provoke those shameless old guys who don't care about the overall situation?"

"In addition to your men, there are 7 regular factory workers in Nanyun and 5 regular factory workers in Bashu. In addition, there are more than contract workers building the high-speed railway... If those old guys dare to show up, ask them what they dare to do to you."

"..."

Seeing that the person in charge remained silent, Yu Yang thought about how the other party resigned from the position of head of the Dongshan United Front System and came here alone, building up so many foundations from scratch. He had made contributions but also worked hard.

So he asked someone to bring bowls and chopsticks, and signaled the other party to eat while standing.

"My image as a farmer was just to avoid being watched by people. It was not a secret to the authorities. When I entered the foggy city, the traffic police found me based on the modified vehicle and the appearance of the passengers... But the local tyrants found out so quickly. Maybe things are not that simple."

"I understand, Director Yu. These local tyrants are just tools used by some people to test our attitude. The real person behind the scenes is probably a supervisor or above, who intends to get involved in the high-speed rail construction project, the Southwest Branch of the Trade Hall, and the development projects of Nanyun and Bashu."

"Well, I'll give you two days to handle the matter using the methods of our hometown... If you do a good job, I'll promote you to regional manager, in charge of southwest affairs. If you do a bad job, I'll always treat my people well and won't punish you. You can go to Jianfu and take charge of Sanyuan Pharmaceutical in a province. You can be considered as guarding the family, but don't think about going any further in the future."

"Yes, Mr. Yu!"

……

That night.

Foggy City, Baiyun Lake Resort.

Baiyun Lake Restaurant.

Seven or eight men sat around a huge gambling table, smoking, looking at cards, and chatting with each other.

"Lao Zhou, the leader of the Shili Camp is no ordinary person. He plays internationally and has fought back and forth with foreign capital. It is said that he has even used missiles. You should ask the brothers to talk to him. I am worried, brother."

"Yes, Old Zhou. The wealthy families in Hong Kong that Liao Pengfei suppressed are now too scared to even fart. Who does Liao Pengfei work for? We must keep our eyes open."

"Don't be a coward. This is Fog City. I have the chief of law behind me. In this Fog City, if I arrest Yu Sanyuan tonight, the police will have to help me clear the way."

"I'm worried that the person behind you can't stand." The speaker stood up and prepared to leave.

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou picked up his phone and said, "If you leave now, do you believe that before 12 o'clock, all your properties will be seized and your bank deposits will be frozen?"

"..."

"You have no choice now but to come with me, otherwise the county magistrate will take care of you now and I will make sure you don't live past tomorrow morning."

"..."

"Have fun, play mahjong all night, and then we'll go meet Yu Sanyuan together. It's just a formality. When the deal is done, each of us will get 200 million."

The words have not yet fallen.

A mocking voice came from the door, "Good fellow, are you sending away beggars?"

Everyone turned around.

Jiang Wenqing, the chairman of Fog City Sanyuan Pharmaceutical Corporation, who used to be timid, was seen leading a dozen of his men up the stairs to the third floor.

The man surnamed Zhou smiled slightly, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Jiang? What, you don't like 200 million, are you going to give us more?"

Jiang Wenqing didn't say anything. He looked up at the oversized crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and asked, "If this thing falls, will it kill someone?"

The man surnamed Zhou also raised his head and said, "I think so..."

Before he could finish his words, a burly man beside Jiang Wenqing swung out a spear and pierced the connection between the crystal chandelier and the roof.

next moment.

The heavy crystal chandelier fell with a loud bang, smashing the gambling table and raising dust all over the room.

The man surnamed Zhou was almost hit, and he coughed in exasperation, "Mr. Jiang, are you crazy?"

Jiang Wenqing fanned the dust in the air and left. Half an hour later.

A series of sirens sounded in Baiyun Lake.

Many policemen rushed to the third floor and immediately saw a group of local tyrants being killed by the crystal chandelier on the gambling table.

What’s outrageous is that these local bullies actually put their heads together and were all hit by the crystal chandelier.

When the forensic doctor arrived, he noticed something was wrong and was about to say something, but the deputy head of the city police team raised his hand to stop him, "This should be an accident."

The deputy person in charge was a manager who had been marginalized for many years, and this time he suddenly got involved in the operation... The forensic doctor did not dare to continue.

"Any witnesses?"

"Yes, it's the restaurant owner and two waiters."

"Bring them up."

After a while.

The sweaty restaurant owner was escorted up by the officer and said, "Boss, I run a casino, I am guilty."

"What were they doing when the incident happened?"

"Boss Zhou said he got a treasure, and the other brothers came together to admire it. At this time, the crystal chandelier suddenly fell down."

"What baby?"

"I don't know. Later, it was taken away by their men."

"Where are their men?"

"Reporting to the leader, after the incident, all their subordinates were shouting that the north was recruiting again and they wanted to sign up to repair the Yellow River."

"..."

At this time.

An officer rushed over and whispered in the ear of the deputy head of the city police, "Just now, the retired chief legal officer finished his meal at a big hotel in the city. When he came out, a tile fell from the roof and hit him on the head. He is dead."

"Another accident..."

The deputy director sighed with relief, also expressing the frustration of being suppressed for many years, "Collect physical evidence and look for other clues."

"Leader, Zhou Zhou's phone directory contains records of multiple contacts with the Legal Manager's private number."

"Leader, this phone call contains a record of contact with the district supervisor..."

"Leader, there is a record of contacting you on this phone..."

……

Foggy City, headquarters of Sanyuan Pharmaceutical.

Yu Yang ate several hotpot dishes, but always felt something was wrong.

Think about it carefully, and call the vice president, "I was in Shiliying, eating our pot, our ingredients, our meat, our dishes. When I came here, I was still like this, so didn't I come here for nothing?"

"Mr. Yu, it's not safe outside."

"Withdrawn, and replaced with local characteristics."

soon.

The shuangxiang hotpot, sesame sauce dish, green onion, garlic, aged vinegar, etc. were taken away by the service staff.

Replace with beef hotpot, sesame oil dish, various spicy seasonings...

Two full-time chefs were also arranged to prepare shrimp balls and tripe on site.

Yu Yang looked at the person on the left, "This guy must be 70 years old, right?"

"Yes, boss. 71."

"In our company, this must be retired."

"Boss, I'm not from your company. Yesterday morning, I was walking my bird in the park when a few strong men suddenly came and asked me to prepare a local hot pot. If it was done, they would let my grandson go to college. There was no reason for me to refuse, but after I prepared it, you wouldn't let him go today. I was planning to leave, but you wouldn't let me go, so I've been waiting until now."

"It seems you have some real skills."

"I stopped doing this a long time ago and passed on my skills to my son. He is now in the newly established Fog City Hotpot Association."

"Come on, come on, let's eat together."

Yu Yang greeted them while chatting while eating hot pot. "I heard that the hot pot base in hot pot restaurants rarely changes?"

"It depends on the faction. Some change it once a week, and some never change it. But I use fermented base, which has a good texture and taste. But it has to be changed after use, which is more expensive, so generally no hot pot restaurant uses it."

"What do you think of Sanyuan Agriculture's hot pot?"

“The most delicious ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods. Good ingredients, good vegetables, and good meat, mixed together and cooked, will taste delicious no matter how you eat it.”

"If I leave it to you, can I take it to the next level?"

“No, because complexity will increase costs and won’t make the boss more money.”

“Old people see things clearly.”

Eating and drinking.

The person in charge of Wudu Sanyuan Pharmaceutical changed into work clothes and walked into the restaurant, "Director Yu, it's done."

"Sit down and eat together."

Yu Yang didn't ask how it happened, who was involved, or what adverse consequences it caused, because that was the job of the regional manager.

He picked up a glass of local liquor and tasted it. "Are there any obstacles to the development of our pharmacies in various places?"

“It wasn’t very obvious before, but now all the major hospitals have started to view us as their biggest enemy, and even spread rumors that we are not formal.”

"It's normal to steal business."

"But if this happens, the hospital system will no longer purchase our medicines, and will no longer recommend Chinese patent medicines to patients."

"This is a good thing. From now on, we will be the only one selling Chinese patent medicines, indirectly monopolizing the industry."

“But they don’t recognize the film we made either.”

"No problem, everyone can develop according to their own ability. We will not allow hospitals to use our medical equipment."

The old chef heard this and said, "Sanyuan Pharmacy is still very good. In the past, when I caught a cold or had a fever, I would go to the community clinic. In 97, Wudu was directly governed and many private clinics were closed. I had to go to the hospital for treatment. Every time I went, it would cost or yuan. Sometimes I also had to do tests and take X-rays, which would cost more than or yuan each time.

Now we have Sanyuan Pharmacy. If you have a headache or fever, you can get a blood test but it only costs 2 yuan. Moreover, the pills are packed according to dosage and wrapped in paper. You get one pack for one meal. A visit to the doctor costs at most or cents, and you don't have to worry about wasting the medicine.

What I remember most vividly is that five months ago, I was walking my bird in the park and accidentally fell and broke my wrist. I took it to Sanyuan Pharmacy, and they treated me first and paid later. They fixed my bones and bandaged it, and it only cost me 120 yuan in the end. If I had gone to a big hospital, I would have had to stay in the hospital, and it would have cost at least 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.

"But Sanyuan Pharmacy has pulled down GDP."

"What is chicken fart?"

"I do not know either."

"..."

Eat and drink for a long time.

Old Bu finally called.

"Yu, I have three million graphics cards, worth 3 million US dollars."

"Sorry, not interested."

After Yu Yang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
