Chapter 576 - Opening a Company?
Chapter 576 Opening a Company?
“Where in the world could you find a way to get all you what?”
The keeper of Yaowang Mountain shook his head and said, “What I mean is that it’s better to count on yourself rather than others.”
“Myself?”
Fang Qiu was confused.
“Yes.”
The keeper nodded and explained, “In fact, it has been many years since the property of the traditional Chinese Medicine began to decline due to the pesticide residues. I can’t change this fact because everyone is eager for quick success and instant profit. The purpose of those pharmaceutical factories and dealers is simply to make money. They will naturally produce whichever kind of drug that can bring them great profit. Even though your report restrains them from continuing the business for the time being, the deterring effect will only be temporary. As long as there are profits to make, people will kill to get into the business.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
He also knew that the calmness at the moment was temporary, and some people would eventually start to produce medicine of sub-quality again.
Although by far, he had not encountered any ancient prescription in books.
Nevertheless, he already had a plan in mind.
He had never seen any ancient prescription before probably because of his lack of knowledge.
Ancient prescriptions must be very precious, and they were something that ordinary people could not easily attain.
Then, what about the treasure books possessed by those craftsman doctors, doctors of brightness, and highly-skilled doctors?
Those treasure books were not something that ordinary people could get.
Moreover, each one of them was an ancient medical book!
Who knew if there would be surprises hidden in those treasure books?
With that in mind, Fang Qiu immediately thought of Xu Miaolin.
He had to consult Xu Miaolin about those treasure books before he could know the answer.
Next to him, at the sight of Fang Qiu’s thoughtful look, Sun Hao patted Fang Qiu on the arm lightly and asked, “What are you thinking about? Do you have an idea?”
Fang Qiu nodded.
The other people in the study were all taken aback.
“Good heavens! You even figured this out?”
Zhou Xiaotian was the first to jump up and utter his doubts. “Mr. Zhao said the only way was to open factories and produce medicine by yourself. But you have no money now. And even if you have, where can you develop new drugs or how can you find ancient prescriptions to make medicine? Those ancient prescriptions have been passed down for hundreds of years and the production methods have all been lost.”
The others all nodded in agreement.
But the keeper of Yaowang Mountain’s eyes glinted with excitement. He gazed at Fang Qiu and asked, “Do you really have a solution?”
“It’s not a real solution yet.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “I just have some rough ideas at the present.”
As they talked, Fang Qiu was making a mental note that he must go to visit Xu Miaolin tomorrow and ask about the treasure books. Then, after the program was filmed at the weekend, he would figure out a way to find Fairy Desert Cistanche.
Desert Cistanche was originated from Beijiang.
It seemed that he had to make a trip by then.
“Honestly, I’m not surprised that the youngest is going to run a company.”
Zhu Benzheng blurted, “Think about it. The youngest is so popular now. He has almost become the spokesman for our Chinese Medicine circle. What’s more, the number of his fans on Weibo has exceeded 15 million, which is still heading toward 20 million. With his current fame, money is no problem. As long as he comes out and voices his idea, people will rush to cooperate with him at once. After all, marketing drugs in the name of the youngest will certainly be a success!”
Sun Hao and Zhou Xiaotian immediately nodded in agreement.
“The youngest, hee-hee.” Zhou Xiaotian chuckled and said, “If you are opening a company, don’t forget your dudes. Isn’t there an old saying? ‘Don’t forget your poor friends when you get rich’!”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Sun Hao immediately echoed, “We’re brothers. The youngest certainly won’t forget us. Besides, we’re all studying Chinese Medicine. If the youngest really opens a company to produce medicine, there will be a place for us to put our real talents and knowledge into practice, won’t it?”
“The youngest, I’m dead serious. You shouldn’t forget us when the good day comes,” Zhu Benzheng said in all seriousness.
“Certainly.”
Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and remarked, “I hope I can find a way to do it. And I have to figure out how to make more money. It’s not good to form a partnership with others. Because in that case, my decision-making will be intervened, and I have to do things for the interests of my partners. So, if I were to run a company, I would only do that with my money and own the company by myself!”
The next day.
At nine o’clock a.m.
As soon as the university library was opened, Fang Qiu hurried there.
Xu Miaolin happened to be on duty that day.
“Professor Xu.”
Walking into the reading room, Fang Qiu greeted him.
“This early?”
Xu Miaolin looked at Fang Qiu in surprise while organizing his things. He asked, “What’s up? What brought you here?”
“A big issue,” Fang Qiu answered.
“Oh?”
Xu Miaolin stopped what he was doing, sat down at the desk, and said, “Then I have to listen to what you’ve got to say. What is the big issue then?”
“Here’s the thing.”
Fang Qiu immediately told Xu Miaolin the idea of the keeper of Yaowang Mountain.
“Well—”
After hearing the story, Xu Miaolin nodded while saying, “Today’s society is indeed like what Mr. Zhao said. If a conscientious pharmaceutical company is willing to do a great job that will make all the other merchants envious, perhaps it can really break the shackles that have so long been binding traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as completely shatter the third-largest factor that hinders the development of traditional Chinese Medicine.
“But, where can you find such a company?”
In the end, Xu Miaolin began to shake his head.
“Professor Xu,” Fang Qiu asked straightforwardly, “do you know any Chinese Medicine doctor who has a treasure book that records ancient prescriptions?”
“What?”
Xu Miaolin shot Fang Qiu a surprised look and asked, “Do you want to do it?”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu immediately nodded and said, “As long as there is a way, I must do it.”
“How about this,” Xu Miaolin considered for a while and said, “I’ll help you inquire about it. Give me three days, and I’ll let you know the result.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded at once.
“But, you don’t really expect that you can find an ancient prescription and open a company of your own, do you?” asked Xu Miaolin.
Fang Qiu nodded without hesitation.
He had thought about it all night.
In order to contribute to the development of Chinese Medicine, this was a must-have way!
“Then you’ll have something to play with.”
Xu Miaolin shook his head with a hollow smile and said, “Don’t you know what’s going on now? You’re almost the public enemy of all the drug producers in Huaxia. If you really open a company, you’ll be pushed around!”
“Professor Xu, I believe the evil can never prevail over the good!” answered Fang Qiu.
“I do appreciate this audacious attitude of yours!” Xu Miaolin replied.
Fang Qiu, “…”
