Moreover, the four hundred bucks was given considering Yan Fei’s past contributions to the institute, otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten such a high-level treatnt.
Yan Fei was quite satisfied with this: "Not bad, not bad, I didn’t plan to make any money with this visit. Just ca to take a look, not sure how much help I can actually be."
He said so, but when it ca to work, his imnse strength really surprised everyone. Fossils, after all, are mainly rock, and their weight is no lighter than regular stones.
Strong and skilled, such talent made this group of old folks feel like they had to give it their all just watching him.
Even though Yan Fei hadn’t done much work in this area before, he had plenty of knowledge. The first ti he went out with Yang Xing, he picked up so very useful information from there.
After getting familiar with the work here, saying Boss Yan is worth a whole group is not an exaggeration at all.
So much so that by the evening, even the manager in the institute specifically instructed that dinner should include a few more dishes to treat Yan Fei well. Knowing his ti was limited, Yan Fei also stayed late to work a bit more.
It was Xu Xiaoyan’s first ti witnessing all this, and Yang Xing even specifically arranged for a younger female staff mber to accompany her. Although the cleaned-up fossils looked a bit scary, it was no problem for the girl.
She had seen more live dinosaurs than these researchers had seen fossils, and even gnawed on bones and eaten... It’s just unsure if Yan Fei’s dinosaur world is the sa as ancient Earth’s; if it’s just a ti difference, maybe her teeth marks are on so fossil here.
As for Zhang Jian, this kid vowed to accompany and watch over Yan Fei. However, it didn’t take long for him to disappear sowhere, unable to bear it.
After all, watching the exhibition fossils and seeing the actual work are two different things. Playing with stones, especially the dirty kind, is of no interest to an outsider.
But he didn’t run far away; he was reportedly playing sowhere nearby and called Yan Fei around dinner, saying the brothers wanted to treat him to a al. Yan Fei declined his kind offer only after much persuasion.
After finishing his work and returning to the hotel, Yan Fei finally had a chance to take out the bag with kangaroo skin. He then left it at the hotel reception for ng Si’an to pick up himself — he and Yang Xing had planned to head back to the institute early to make full use of the two days.
It was at most just two days; he really didn’t have more ti.
...
On the third morning, after spending two days as a laborer and a resource, Yan Fei suited up nicely to attend the pharmaceutical company’s shareholder and managent eting.
Yan Fei had previously learned about the makeup of the pharmaceutical company. The group of young shareholders all handled ’external affairs,’ while the real managent talent was hired, an overseas returnee.
The returnee’s surna was Kang, given na Shida.
According to the young masters among the shareholders, this na suited soone in top managent of a pharmaceutical company. Kang Shida had been found through the elders of the young masters and absolutely wasn’t a graduate of a ’diploma mill.’
He was a genuine graduate from a prestigious school and had a spotless resu. He had held a mid-level managent position at a large foreign pharmaceutical firm — even though it was mid-level, it was more than sufficient to manage a small pharmaceutical company. Here, he only had to manage production, which made it even easier!
As for the pharmaceutical company’s sales departnt, the young shareholders handled it themselves. This is why the company could start making profits shortly after it was built and put into production.
The dicine was genuine, and with this group of young shareholders’ relatives personally handling the ’promotion,’ it was all done directly through the dical system... a feat neither easy for ordinary folk nor possible to envy.
According to the introduction, the output is still not very high, so it’s only being promoted in four provinces. This is an extrely cost-saving thod; just advertise at each place of promotion.
Next cos further production expansion and continued promotion in other provinces. In short, these people are serious about doing business, even if it ans using so family influence, and their families are quite supportive.
The technical departnt, they have it in na only, mainly employing a few people to handle possible issues arising from side effects. This departnt could practically be canceled, as they haven’t been used; their main task now is quality supervision, almost like a quality supervision departnt.
The real technology, or new technology developnt, relies on the shareholder Yan Fei.
Simply put, the pharmaceutical company currently only manages production, sales rely on the young shareholders, new technology relies on the shareholders, as long as production doesn’t have issues, profits are guaranteed.
As for the business model, ordinary companies wouldn’t dare operate like this. But given the audacity of the shareholders, no local protection can stop them, and they can break into any market with ease, making profits flow.
Yan Fei can’t be bothered with this; he said he’s not managing, letting these people tinker with it.
After all, the company is small now, and he’s confident the products won’t have issues; minor operational flaws are absolutely acceptable. The key is that operating this way reduces costs and ensures profits without needing to sell the dicines at sky-high prices.
You need to know that his dicines can cure major illnesses; sure, so might criticize them being sold at high prices, but they still have to be bought.
To report their work, since nobody really wanted to listen, this eting felt more like a tea party. A group of people would start talking and easily go off-topic. General Manager Kang and several other company executives sat to the side, looking helpless, facing a group of shareholders less than half their age, with no other recourse.
Considering their compensation and the fact that even though so shareholders were young, they hardly ddled in managent as promised, the executives were quite satisfied. You see, when they were first introduced, the biggest fear was shareholders interfering in managent.
What do businesses fear most? Having outsiders who know nothing co in and randomly manage.
Now, as long as the executives can consistently produce quality products, they don’t need to worry about anything else, nor are they interfered with; how could they be unsatisfied as executives?
After so chatting, Yan Fei took the initiative to talk with General Manager Kang.
He then spoke a few words: "Things are pretty good as is. As for the issue of the lack of products, there’s no need to rush. After our company develops for so ti and it’s feasible to introduce new products, I’ll find a way."
"Moreover, don’t worry about product upgrades either. The upgraded versions of the two drugs we currently have will be ready soon. Produce for a year or two, watch the market... Speaking of this, I think we need to set up a follow-up investigation departnt to see how our drugs are received in the market, and based on that, introduce the upgraded products."
An executive raised a hand: "Director Yan, do you have any definite direction on the new products?"
Yan Fei considered for a mont: "That depends on your thoughts. You can prepare and submit so suggestions based on our company’s equipnt situation. The more options, the better; I’ll think about them based on the circumstance."
"Is it feasible?" General Manager Kang showed a bit of concern.
Having worked abroad, he knew that relying on other shareholders would be okay to produce dostic products. But to produce imported ones, that was quite challenging.
Researching a patent involves unknown costs, so there’s no way it can be easily transferred.
Yan Fei was confident about this: "That’s my business, no need to worry."
If a standard patent purchase won’t go through, Boss Yan had non-standard thods — the simplest being making them have to sell for money. Such approaches were nurous for Boss Yan, avoiding the need to list them all.
General Manager Kang and the others were wise enough, knowing that their shareholders were no ordinary people, it was enough to get an answer and absolutely not pry into things that shouldn’t be asked.
The tea party... ahem, the eting between shareholders and managent ended around when it was ti for the next step, going to a hotel for so food and drinks, enjoy a bit.
Yan Fei hurried back to the hotel to pick up his wife, after a al and so drinks, he prepared to head ho!
The Provincial City also had a ton of stuff; he had to provide so ’guidance’ to the two labs in the Provincial City to ensure their healthy operation — this was also part of his future plans, he couldn’t neglect this side just because he was buying an island soon.
