"You figured out there was an accident?" Zhang Han asked curiously.
"I guessed, I'm very aware of your abilities. Given your temper, usually these two small matters would be settled in three to five days at most. But you're only calling me now..." Ye Yun waved his hand, giving a knowing look and teasing.
Ye Yun's words immediately put Zhang Han at ease.
To be honest, he had been a little apprehensive.
After all, he had met Ye Yun for less than an hour in total, and the other party had already become his boss.
The other party trusted him so much, yet he hadn't handled things well.
This gave Zhang Han a sense of guilt.
But after Ye Yun's teasing.
Zhang Han's hanging heart immediately relaxed.
At the same time, it made Zhang Han a little curious.
Why did this man in front of him seem to know him so well?
He had only met him for an hour!
However, there was one thing Zhang Han admitted: he enjoyed his time with Ye Yun, a feeling he never had working at Pfizer.
"Are you short on money? Don't worry, money is important for company matters. If not, I'll give you more?" Ye Yun continued to ask. Da Feng Novel Network
"No, no, no! I still have a lot of the two hundred million, it's enough, enough!" Ye Yun's words startled Zhang Han.
"What's the matter then?"
"You arranged two things before, one is about the R&D team. I contacted classmates from Hamish Medical College, and many expressed interest. They told me that as long as their current benefits are guaranteed, they are willing to come to China and do great things with me!" Zhang Han said.
"Well, that's good. But they're traveling across the ocean, so don't let them feel disheartened. Increase their benefits by fifty percent each," Ye Yun nodded. "It seems there's a problem with the factory site selection."
Zhang Han nodded.
"Yes, those classmates also said that their coming is conditional on having relatively complete R&D equipment and facilities. Otherwise, there's nothing for them to do if they come. So, I immediately went to look for those bankrupt factories."
"It was relatively smooth at first. I found a brand company in Jinling. Of course, it was just a small company with some local influence. But it was a sparrow, complete with all its organs. Their company had everything from R&D labs to production bases. I inspected everything on-site. Their equipment was imported from Prussia, which is very suitable for us."
"Their production base is also very nice. It's not too large in scale, but it's enough for initial production. More importantly, they have a large empty lot. Even if the company expands in the future, we'll have space to build production lines. I was very tempted when I saw it."
"Later, I went to talk to their general manager. The other party was willing to sell, especially if I took everything in one go. The price they quoted was not high, a total of 150 million. And just as I was about to pay... an accident happened!"
At this point, Zhang Han took a deep breath, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes.
"That general manager suddenly changed his mind and said he wouldn't sell the factory to me no matter what! If I insisted on using it, he would only rent it. And it would be a year-to-year lease!"
As Zhang Han described.
Ye Yun's brow furrowed on the spot.
It had to be said that Zhang Han, like in his later life, was extremely efficient.
He managed to get things done so perfectly in just a few days.
As for a year-to-year lease, that was completely absurd.
Generally, factory leases are for at least five years, and often ten years.
Otherwise, by the time you make money, the landlord will increase the rent tenfold the next year. Will you pay it then?
If you pay, all your hard-earned money will be for the landlord.
If you don't pay, then fine, you move out, which will affect production for at least two to three months.
So, the other party saying this clearly meant they didn't want to cooperate with Zhang Han.
"Did you find out who was interfering?" Ye Yun asked.
*Hoo.*
Zhang Han looked at Ye Yun silently for a long time. After a while, he squeezed out two words from his teeth.
"Pfizer!"
Ye Yun nodded.
This situation was, frankly, within his expectations.
For a bankrupt company, the other party probably wanted to sell the factory even more than he did.
Now that they suddenly changed their minds and refused to sell, there weren't many who could achieve this.
Coupled with the fact that they deliberately emphasized they wouldn't sell to Zhang Han, only Pfizer would do such a thing.
"Aren't you afraid of Pfizer?"
Seeing Ye Yun's calm demeanor, Zhang Han couldn't help but be surprised.
Pfizer was the leader in the pharmaceutical industry at the moment, and it was a global one.
Most people would be terrified at the mere mention of this name.
Could it be that Ye Yun had never heard of Pfizer? Was he fearless due to ignorance?
However, this thought only lasted for a second in Zhang Han's mind.
It was almost as absurd as someone planning to open a factory to build cars but not knowing about Volkswagen.
How could Ye Yun, who chose to enter the pharmaceutical industry, not know Pfizer?
Moreover, he had personally stated that he would bring Pfizer down from its pedestal in the future!
Therefore, Ye Yun must have known how powerful Pfizer was.
Then why wasn't Ye Yun afraid?
Just like every internet entrepreneur hopes to bring down Tencent or Alibaba, they would make such bold statements.
But saying it was one thing, and being able to do it was another.
At the very beginning of a company's founding, to be targeted or even ambushed by giants like Tencent or Alibaba.
It would be strange not to be afraid.
"Why should I be afraid? China has five thousand years of pharmaceutical history, how can we be afraid of a few hundred years of research by foreign barbarians?" Ye Yun's words carried strong confidence.
Because he knew very well how much craze, and how terrifying profits, the mass production of Licorice Medicine would bring.
Imagine, a divine medicine that could enhance physical functions, focus on strengthening the foundation, and even prolong life, how popular would it be?
After all, Ye Yun's Licorice Medicine was developed by integrating the essence of Chinese medicine.
Why did Zhang Sanfeng live to the age of 142?
It was precisely due to the principles of strengthening the foundation and nurturing life.
How could such a divine medicine be resisted by a small company like Pfizer?
Moreover, in the future pharmaceutical field, Yao Ke Group would be the sole dominant player. If Pfizer wanted to obstruct it, it could only be described as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, ridiculously overestimating itself.
"Tell me, what trouble has arisen?" Ye Yun said calmly.
Zhang Han stared at Ye Yun for several seconds, and finally, he smiled.
"Having a boss like you is truly a blessing... What I wanted to say is, Pfizer's Smith... wants to see you. This afternoon, at Pfizer Group's China headquarters! Don't worry, Smith poses no threat to us yet. He probably just wants to scare you, Mr. Ye. I know him well, he's a paper tiger. Mr. Ye, don't take it to heart."
As if fearing Ye Yun wouldn't dare to go, Zhang Han tried to make it sound as relaxed as possible.
After all, Ye Yun now held his "dream" in his hands. If Ye Yun was scared away by Smith, where would he go to cry?
"Alright, after we finish this cup of coffee, we'll get ready to go." Little did he know, Ye Yun just smiled calmly.
Smith? Just a clown, why would he care?
Ye Yun changed the subject and said, "By the way, you must have researched Licorice Medicine these past few days. How are its effects?"
