"Chairman Gao!" "Good morning, Chairman Gao!"
"Hmm! Good morning!"
Every staff mber who saw Gao Yuan along the way greeted her respectfully with "Chairman Gao," their eyes filled with awe as they looked at her.
In today’s Changqing Biological, Gao Yuan was absolutely the person with the highest prestige... without a peer!
Even Jiang Wenmin, who had been deeply entrenched in the company for many years, was no longer in the sa league.
No one could have imagined that in just a week’s ti, the situation had gone from suppliers blocking the doors demanding debts to custors crowding the premises like a marketplace, all for the chance to secure a partnership with Changqing Biological.
The production, procurent, and sales departnts were working overti in a continuous cycle, taking orders until their hands were sore, and the production schedule was filled up for the next six months.
The company’s performance was soaring, which ant their salaries and bonuses were rising accordingly.
Don’t talk to employees about loyalty.
Those who brought them benefits were naturally embraced, and Gao Yuan was neither sad nor happy about this...
When she reached the door of her chairman’s office, she found Jiang Wenmin and Tang Yun already waiting outside.
"Chairman Gao!" "Chairman Gao!"
"Hmm! What brings you here so early?" Gao Yuan asked as she opened the door.
Early? It was almost ten o’clock!
The expressions on Jiang Wenmin and Tang Yun’s faces were a bit odd.
Having known Gao Yuan for so long, this was the first ti they saw her arrive late for work.
This didn’t quite fit with her usual persona of a workaholic and a powerful businesswoman...
"Ha~" Gao Yuan yawned.
She had chatted with Zero until after two in the morning the previous night, and it took her a while to fall asleep with her mind in a whirl after she lay down, causing her to not hear the alarm in the morning.
She had also made a trip to the machine room, which delayed her sowhat.
But being late or not, she wasn’t particularly concerned about it anymore.
The "workaholic" persona was sothing she never intended to maintain anyway.
In the past, the image of a strong, busy woman was not only because she was truly busy when she first took over the company but also to stabilize people’s hearts.
After all, during turbulent tis, a diligent and exemplary new boss was always more trustworthy than one who was lackadaisical and inconsistent in work...
But now, tis and circumstances have changed, and her personal prestige had been fully established after a series of counter-trend reversals.
At this point, relaxing a bit would unexpectedly give her subordinates a mysterious sense of confidence.
After all, if the big boss herself was openly loafing, then surely the company’s future must be calm and promising, a smooth path ahead, right?
"Chairman Gao, did you not sleep well last night?" Tang Yun asked with concern.
"It’s fine, let’s talk about work," Gao Yuan waved her hand.
"Alright, it’s like this. I’ve prepared a recruitnt plan according to your requirents to expand the R&D departnt. Here’s the detailed report."
Tang Yun placed a docunt in front of Gao Yuan and then continued.
"Everything else is fine, it’s just the selection of the R&D supervisor... Perhaps Supervisor Wu was sowhat lacking in ability before.
Do you think we need a headhunter to recruit a seasoned professional from outside?"
The progress of the R&D projects and whether they can yield results or not, the role of the R&D supervisor is not to say the most important, but it accounts for a significant part.
Since Gao Yuan had decided that the focus of Changqing Biological going forward was on R&D, even planning to invest a large amount of capital each year,
the previous R&D supervisor, who was diocre in ability and lacking in experience, naturally couldn’t continue to occupy the position without contributing.
This brings us to the subject of the R&D environnt in dostic pharmaceutical companies.
Globally, corporations are the core of drug developnt, and they constitute the most important R&D forces.
For example, top-tier companies like Roche and Pfizer have peak-period annual R&D expenditures approaching 10 billion US Dollars, whereas dostic companies hardly engage in R&D.
There are many who are good at bluffing and storytelling, but few with real R&D capabilities. The R&D expenses of all dostic companies put together over several years don’t even match the annual R&D investnt of a single giant like Pfizer.
What they do can only be called production and sales; either they have no R&D departnt, or they offload R&D work to scientific research institutions and CROs (contract research organizations).
The country isn’t without substantial investnt, but most of it goes into scientific research institutions and universities.
This, in turn, suppresses the R&D desire and capabilities of dostic dical enterprises. If companies don’t conduct R&D themselves, their standards will only get worse, and the companies will beco less competitive, leading to a vicious cycle.
Out of the 4,000 pharmaceutical factories in the country, fewer than 40 have R&D capabilities that truly stand out.
The original Changqing Biological was one of those other three thousand plus companies.
This was why Jiang Wenmin and Tang Yun found it inconceivable when Gao Yuan proposed focusing on R&D.
Changqing Biological might have gained so fa now, but there’s still a significant gap compared to those large pharmaceutical companies with the montum and capital to seriously engage in R&D.
"Hmm! Regarding the selection of the R&D supervisor, you submit a list of candidates, and I’ll make the final decision personally."
"Okay!"
After Tang Yun finished reporting, Gao Yuan turned her attention to Jiang Wenmin.
"Chairman Gao, Chairman Lu is here," Jiang Wenmin said with a respectful face.
"Oh?" Gao Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Where is he?"
"In the reception room, he’s been waiting for over an hour."
Over an hour? So he ca as soon as the office opened?
"Even though the situation at Changqing has improved, there seems to be no need for him, a bank president, to lower himself like this, right? What did he co for?"
"He said he ca especially to apologize for the previous incident, and also ntioned that if Chairman Gao agrees, their bank can continue providing loans to Changqing Biological."
"Oh? Chairman Lu is not small-minded, is he?"
There is business everywhere, and they were not considered a significant client, at least not compared to the Xu Group.
So Chairman Lu’s lowering of himself in such a manner was sowhat unusual.
"Hehe! With the recent dia outcry, even Sujiang Bank, who cut off our loan, has been exposed by internet users, and now the fire may well be about to reach Chairman Lu’s head.
I guess the bank feels that its reputation is being affected, so they sent Chairman Lu himself to clean up the ss.
Although so public opinion doesn’t have much impact on Sujiang Bank, terminating our cooperation without sufficient reason and almost causing a break in our financing chain is ultimately damaging to our business reputation.
The business community in Su City is only so large; it’s sothing that would ruin a reputation if spread around.
There are also factions within the bank, and people who don’t see eye to eye with Chairman Lu; if this isn’t handled well, he may well be pushed out as a scapegoat.
Do you think he wouldn’t be anxious?" Jiang Wenmin said with a chuckle.
He couldn’t help but feel a touch of sentint inside.
Although not long ago they were sowhat covert allies, it felt sowhat inappropriate to revel in Schadenfreude; still, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Isn’t this just shooting yourself in the foot?
But it’s not just Chairman Lu, Xu Jingsong has also been in a tight spot lately, looking rather embarrassed at the board eting.
Although he didn’t know the details, there was a strange feeling in his heart...
This matter probably has sothing to do with Gao Yuan!
Gao Yuan alone probably wouldn’t have the capacity, but...
The "reporting on work" she ntioned yesterday really caught one’s attention...
The prestigious Chairman of Changqing Biological.
Report what work? To whom?
Gao Yuan’s capabilities were already impressive, but if there was soone powerful backing her, strong enough to rival Xu Jingsong and even co out on top...
Jiang Wenmin’s ntal scales had completely tipped in favor of Gao Yuan!
That’s precisely why he bared all the information he’d gathered, no doubt indicating his stance.
Gao Yuan, of course, picked up on the hidden aning in Jiang Wenmin’s words.
She smiled.
"Got it. I won’t et with the person; you’ll negotiate with him instead," she said.
"Ah? ?" Jiang Wenmin was taken aback.
"The loan is being offered to us on a silver platter, there’s no reason for us to refuse. Go ahead and talk to him, I only have one demand," she continued.
"Uh... What demand?"
Is it to humiliate Chairman Lu before letting him off the hook?
"My demand is, we loan as much as they want! The more, the better!"
"Uh..."
Even after leaving Gao Yuan’s office, Jiang Wenmin was still sowhat dazed.
This Chairman doesn’t play by the book, does she?
Get up where you fall? Isn’t Chairman Lu clearly untrustworthy?
But... why does she want to negotiate?
With her shrewdness, she couldn’t possibly fail to see the relationship between and Chairman Lu...
Wait a second!
Jiang Wenmin suddenly realized.
Could it be precisely because she knew about his relationship with Chairman Lu that she wanted him to talk with the other party?
On the surface, it seed like Gao Yuan’s complete trust in him, but to Chairman Lu, wouldn’t this blatantly indicate that he had beco Gao Yuan’s confidant?
If the news reached Xu Jingsong’s ears, with his intolerant character, if he thought Jiang Wenmin had defected, how could he ever trust him again?
This is a damn counterintelligence ploy!
Uh... wait a minute!
So, could it be that yesterday’s "reporting on work" was also deliberately stated for him to hear?
Had she already anticipated his reaction?
Jiang Wenmin gave a bitter smile.
He rembered what Gao Yuan said before.
"The joy of matching wits with others is endless."
Gao Yuan really knew how to play people!
...
"Mr. ng, thank you so much for your guidance today. I’ve learned a lot. Well, I’m off to keep working hard!"
"Good! For the sake of your goddess, fight on!"
Watching the energetically departing Han Fei, who stepped out as if he owned the world, ng Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
Given his current, adrenaline-filled state, it seems unlikely that he would be plunged into depression by ng’s comnts.
However... speaking of his goddess...
ng Lang stroked his chin.
Fragnts of sentences from the book faintly ca to mind.
[Han Fei later directed several critically acclaid movies and married a minor celebrity, truly a highlight in life...]
Given what Han Fei said, his "goddess" seems to be an ordinary girl-next-door he knew since childhood and doesn’t seem to have any connection with celebrities, right?
emm...
Does that an his confession is likely dood?
ng Lang looked at Han Fei’s back with a touch of sympathy.
"If life was like first sight, what then is the sadness of an autumn breeze in a painted fan?
Childhood sweethearts can hardly stand the passing of ti...
"Ding!"
Just then, a notification sound ca from the phone.
He picked up the phone.
[Changqing Biological Data Center has been taken over, ’puppet’ program installed, ’Wall of Sighs’ under construction...]
After reading the ssage, ng Lang’s gaze grew deeper.
He had finally taken that step.
By taking control of Changqing Biological’s server, Zero now had a springboard and auxiliary processing unit.
Though it wasn’t a supercomputing center of that caliber,
it was already more than enough for the current needs.
If the server’s hardware performance was a hundred tis that of Zero’s previous system, then the abilities Zero could unleash were exponentially beyond rely one hundred-fold.
With such a server as Zero’s stronghold to construct its own super Firewall "Wall of Sighs," probably no one in the world could breach it and trace back to ng.
In other words,
If he wanted to kill soone now, it would be truly "zero risk"!
So now the question cos...
Should he write Xu Jingsong’s na in that notebook?
