Chapter 854: Investigate It Thoroughly at Once
“Uncle Xu, do you mean that this matter has something to do with the so-called Valley of Thousands of Medicine?” Guo Zhenghe asked.
“Yes, it has something to do with them,” the middle-aged man said. “The person who sent you this information probably knows the inside story of this matter.”
“Why did they find me?” Guo Zhenghe asked.
“He likely made some inquiries about you and knew some of your background,” the middle-aged man said. “This person probably hates the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, but he cannot take revenge on them because his power is not that strong. He found you to take revenge for him through your connections. Of course, that is only a guess. It is only one possible reason. It may also be a righteous warrior who wants to get rid of violence and uphold justice. Because you are the local governor, he found you. ”
“What I am listening to is like a story from a novel,” Guo Zhenghe said with a laugh. He did not believe in the last possibility. In society, a person like that was rarer than a giant panda. It could basically be said they were extinct.
“Uncle Xu, what do you think I should do?” he asked.
“You don’t even know who gave you this thing, so it is not easy to handle it. If this Valley of Thousands of Medicine exists, it should be thoroughly investigated. I will find out something about it first.”
“OK, Uncle Xu, be careful,” Guo Zhenghe said. “Based on the information provided, the valley is very good at poisoning. Don’t get trapped into their pit.”
“I know,” the middle-aged man said. “I will let you know when I have any news. Wait for my information.”
“Uncle Xu, take this with you. The pa.s.sword is your birthday.” Guo Zhenghe took out a bank card and gave it to the man. “Remember, safety is most important. If there is any danger, immediately withdraw.”
“Relax, Childe, I’m not doing this for the first time.” The middle-aged man took the card, got up, and left the room.
Guo Zhenghe was sitting in the private room on his own, quietly smoking a cigarette.
He thought, Revenge on them through me. That is such an interesting idea. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Who the h.e.l.l could it be?
…
In a city in the south…
“Are you sure?”
“Well, I am quite sure.”
“He is dead, but who killed him?”
“I don’t know anything about that.”
“Investigate it thoroughly at once.”
“I will try my best, Brother Zhang. This situation makes it unsuitable for you to make a public appearance. You know, you are still a wanted criminal!”
“Well, if you are afraid, you can report it to the police,” said a man wearing a baseball cap.
“How could I do that? if it weren’t you, I would have died there,” replied a man wearing sungla.s.ses who had a pale, yellow face. “Although my reputation is not good, I am not a cowardly person. Otherwise, I would not be sitting here talking to you.”
“Well, I can’t know everything about a person’s character. It is complicated enough,” the man wearing a baseball cap said.
Ah-ha!
“Apart from this matter, what else do you need me to do?” the man in sungla.s.ses asked.
“It’s alright. Keep this.”
“Thank you.”
When they came out of the tea house, the sky was a bit gloomy.
“Zhang, are there any major problems with your body?” the man wearing sungla.s.ses asked.
“Well, I could not be healthier,” the man wearing the baseball cap said.
“Well, enjoy life. Don’t make yourself too tired.”
“Enjoy life! That is impossible.” The man pressed the brim of the hat and walked into the crowd.
It’s impossible? The man wearing sungla.s.ses lit a cigarette and walked in the opposite direction.
After fresh rain fell in the empty mountains, the autumn weather began to become clear. Around evening, the fifth rain since the beginning of autumn fell in the mountain village. It was not heavy, but it cooled the air.
No patients came to the clinic. When w.a.n.g Yao was preparing to close the door to go to Nanshan Hill when Zheng Weijun entered the clinic.
“Sir, all the equipment is in place,” he said. “Should we go and have a look?”
“That was fast.” w.a.n.g Yao was a little surprised. The equipment had just been delivered the last time he was there.
“I asked them to rearrange the construction period and catch up according to the schedule,” Zheng Weijun said. “They worked overtime to get them installed for debugging.”
“Yes, let us go and have a look at them,” w.a.n.g Yao said. Besides, there were no patients in the clinic.
He locked the door and hung a sign on the door indicating the clinic was closed. He drove with Zheng Weijun to the Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company. Sure enough, the pharmaceutical equipment was mostly installed. The sanitation of the factory was quite good. It was clean. Some people had started debugging the equipment. For trial runs, it was powered through electricity or water. The speed was quite fast.
“Mr. w.a.n.g, what do you think about it? Are you still satisfied?”
“To be honest, I don’t know anything about these devices,” w.a.n.g Yao replied. “I’m just a layman, but I’m guessing that all of this was imported, right?”
“It was imported from Germany,” Zheng Weijun said. “The equipment on Dongying’s side is more suitable in this regard, but I don’t like them.”
“There is no need to have that feeling since we can sell them the products made by their devices.” w.a.n.g Yao laughed.
This was akin to the beating foreigners by learning from their advantages.
“Sir, shall we make the medicine now?”
“Yes, let’s make the medicine and see how it works,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Afterward, we can consider other medicines.”
“OK, this is for you,” Zheng Weijun said.
“It is estimated that it will take more than a month to install, debug, and be accepted by consumers. That is to say, we can start producing at the end of November or early December.”
“OK!”
The process of producing medicine, promoting it to the market, and it being accepted by consumers would take a long time. It also depended on the effect of advertising, as well as the efficacy of the medicine.
“Sir, I plan to start advertising in December,” Zheng Weijun said.
“Promotion?”
“That is correct.”
“What about the estimated investment?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“In the first phase, I guess it should be $700,00 or $800,000, right?”
“That much!”
“It is necessary to look at the effects before we consider the second period of advertising costs,” Zheng Weijun said. This was something he was relatively good at it. In his family business, he was mainly responsible for advertising.
“What do you think about trying to do it without any advertising?”
“Without advertising?” Zheng Weijun was stunned for a moment. “Do you mean only going through formal channels?”
“Well, we can just count on reputation,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Sir, in the market economy, reputation is only one aspect,” Zheng Weijun said. “At the same time, advertising is also essential.”
“I’m just making suggestions,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “You can decide those things.”
“OK.” Zheng Weijun was slightly relieved. He was worried w.a.n.g Yao didn’t want to advertise. He only wanted to use the acc.u.mulated reputation of his medicine to hit the market. Zheng Weijun, on the other hand, was a businessman. He knew what was required in business.
“Most of these devices are not necessary for this medicine,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“They will be usable in the future,” Zheng Weijun said.
“Sir, I have found a stone to put in the place you said last time,” he said. “Would you like to see if it is appropriate?”
“OK, let’s go and take a look,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
The two men, who were holding umbrellas, went to the location they had visited last time. The originally empty place was covered by a uniquely shaped stone.
“Lingbi Stone?”
When he looked at the stone, w.a.n.g Yao knew what type it was.
“You are so terrific,” Zheng Weijun said. “How do you also know about stones?”
Lingbi Stone was a famous stone. It was a Feng Shui stone used in many places.
“Isn’t this stone cheap?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“$200,000.”
“Oh, it’s fine.” w.a.n.g Yao smiled. Rich people were different. They were willing to spend so much money to buy a big rock. In fact, he thought that it would have been good enough to put a rock from Beishan there. It was not much worse than this gallstone.
“Do you think its location is inappropriate?” Zheng Weijun asked.
“No, it’s fine here,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
The air there was now smooth and comfortable. Previously, the air had been blocked.
Ring! Ring! Zheng Weijun’s cellphone suddenly rang. He looked at the phone number. His frown was slightly wrinkled.
“Sorry, sir, I need to take this call.”
“Please go ahead,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“h.e.l.lo.”
“Are you so estranged from me that you even don’t call me brother?”
“You don’t have to be so fake. Just say something straightforward for a change,” Zheng Weijun replied.
“I’m in Qi Province. Will you be free tomorrow? I want to meet you.”
“I’m busy,” Zheng Weijun said.
“Are you too busy to have lunch?”
“Tomorrow at noon,” Zheng Weijun said.
“OK, I’ll look for you then.”
Although he was some distance away from w.a.n.g Yao, w.a.n.g Yao heard it.
He thought, It looks like the relations.h.i.+p between those brothers is not good.
