Chapter 1824 That's perfect!
As autumn deepens, the rumbling sounds at the pharmaceutical factory construction site continue, but in Li Xiangnan's eyes, behind this orderly scene, a battlefield shrouded in smoke has been quietly woven by him.
Sun Qisheng was the culprit who stole the snake mother liquid. Knowing that this guy was behind it all, Li Xiangnan didn't rush to confront him, as that would be pointless.
Only by weaving a larger net, catching this guy red-handed, can we completely destroy this local tyrant.
During this period, whether it was Nianwei Hospital or Nanyi Medical Equipment Center, he had Wang Defa give his subordinates a heads-up about everyone who came into contact with Qisheng Pharmaceutical. He told them that if anyone tried to contact them, they had to report it back.
These days, he instructed Jiang Qitao to frequently and conspicuously appear at the research institute and construction site, directing workers to debug equipment and creating the illusion that everything at the pharmaceutical factory was thriving.
"Dean!"
That day, Wang Meng from the purchasing department hurriedly found Li Xiangnan at the construction site.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiangnan was a little surprised to see that it was Wang Meng. He thought that there had been a problem with Qisheng Pharmaceutical's recent procurement, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Dean, Section Chief Sun Wang from Qisheng Pharmaceutical has approached me several times, wanting to invite me to dinner... You previously instructed that all dealings with Qisheng should be reported. Recently, they said they have production capacity issues and hope to reduce the contract volume, and they've come to discuss this with me. What do you think, should I go to this dinner or not?"
"Oh?"
Li Xiangnan's heart sank.
This is using Nianwei Hospital and Qisheng's normal business as a shield; it seems they want to use Wang Meng to dig up some more progress from the pharmaceutical factory.
"Little Li!"
Just as Li Xiangnan was about to give some instructions, he suddenly heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw Dean Wang Dashan of the Medical School riding a bicycle with several teachers from the department, getting off the bike with a happy expression and locking it.
"Oh, Dean Wang!" Upon seeing them, Li Xiangnan suddenly had an idea. He told Wang Meng to wait a moment and went to greet them. "Teacher Gao, Teacher Wu, Teacher Cao, what brings you here too?"
"I'd heard you were planning to open a pharmaceutical factory in addition to the hospital. I went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital with Dean Wang and the others, and made a special detour to come and see it!" Teacher Gao smiled and patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder, then turned to look at the towering factory, her eyes full of approval. "You've done a great job, Li!"
Dean Wang also said, "I've educated so many people over the years, and none have developed as well as Xiang Nan. You know, you're only a junior! You're really far ahead of the other students!"
"Yes, yes! That's really great!"
"If we can teach a student like this in our lifetime, we will have no regrets!"
What will your factory produce in the future?
The other teachers also showered Li Xiangnan with praise, surrounding him with compliments.
Faced with the teachers' praise, Li Xiangnan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It's all thanks to the teachers' excellent education. Without the years of training at the medical school, my medical skills, vision, and sense of mission to save lives wouldn't be so strong!"
These words made many teachers' eyes light up, and he cleverly changed the subject at this moment, seizing the opportunity to say: "The first batch of medicines we plan to make at this pharmaceutical factory is snake venom serum. Over there is the snake venom research institute of the Jiang family in Qimen, which is of great significance to the formation and production of the subsequent production line!"
"Ah? The Jiang family? Snake venom serum? The Jiang family of Qimen, whose snake medicine skills are said to be legendary?" Dean Wang was extremely shocked, and his expression immediately turned horrified, revealing an expression of long-standing admiration.
Teacher Gao, who was standing nearby, was also very shocked and asked, "Snake venom serum is not easy to research. In all these years, I have never heard of anyone being able to mass-produce it. Xiao Li, can we go and take a look?"
“Of course!” Li Xiangnan also smiled and said, “We have the Jiang family’s snake mother liquid, and the inheritance of their skills. This is based on their family’s heritage. We also have the key active ingredients that are about to arrive to make us a pioneer in the market. All of these are in preparation. I have great confidence in the future of the pharmaceutical factory!”
"We definitely have to go and see!" Dean Wang and many teachers immediately became excited.
"Dean Wang, please, teachers," Li Xiangnan chuckled, then turned and called to Jiang Qitao, "Taozi, come quick, we have guests!"
As he introduced Jiang Qitao to the teachers, he noticed Wang Meng was still waiting and instructed him, "You should go to the dinner party tonight, and bring a few colleagues who like to drink with you!"
Wang Meng nodded. "Dean, what should I be careful about?"
"What should I be aware of?" Li Xiangnan smiled slightly. "Did you hear what I just said to Dean Wang and the others? If anyone asks about the recent milestones at the pharmaceutical factory, you can tell the truth!"
"Is that all?" Wang Meng asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's all, tell the truth!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand, and Wang Meng left after receiving the order.
"Teachers, this way please!" Jiang Qitao led the teachers upstairs, and seeing that Li Xiangnan had finished his conversation, she came over and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Li Xiangnan laughed and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted Sun Qisheng to know what I was going to do so as to spread some bait!"
Jiang Qitao seemed thoughtful. "You're really something... Let's go upstairs!"
"Ok!"
……
night.
Sun Qisheng paced back and forth in his office, waiting for Sun Wang to return after finishing his meal.
After finally making it past ten o'clock, Sun Wang, the drunken head of the sales department, finally returned.
"What did you say? What did you find out?" Sun Qisheng eagerly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
"Boss, oh... we got the answer. Li Xiangnan is looking for a key active ingredient. It seems that with it, even ordinary snake venom can be studied..."
"Key active ingredients?"
Sun Qisheng was taken aback, pondering these words, and then exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder that kid's assembly line is so fast, he must have a trump card!"
Although he didn't believe Li Xiangnan could find a replacement so quickly, he couldn't rule out the unfathomable wealth accumulated by the Jiang family over a century!
What if Li Xiangnan really has that active substance and manages to get the serum on the market? Wouldn't we be doomed?
He grabbed the phone abruptly, his voice hoarse with urgency, "Brother He, it's up to you! He's working on some key active ingredient right now. You absolutely have to find out where he got it from and destroy it all! I can't let him succeed! Otherwise, things will be a disaster!"
The bait has already been laid out, and Li Xiangnan naturally knows that to lure the snake out of its hole, information asymmetry alone is not enough; an information war is also necessary!
To entice Sun Qisheng to take action, a sufficiently enticing and realistic bait must be offered.
He didn't rest in the evening either.
In a tea room filled with the aroma of tea, he was having tea with Hu Yubin and Dong Chengfang from the Honghui Chamber of Commerce.
After briefly recounting the recent events at the pharmaceutical factory, Li Xiangnan requested, "Brother Hu, Brother Dong, there are people who don't want the snake venom serum to be successfully developed. We need to leverage the Chamber of Commerce's influence to stage a show and send a message to some friends!"
Hu Yubin and Dong Chengfang had long been aware of Li Xiangnan's methods and vision, and immediately expressed their support: "Xiangnan, just focus on your strategies, and the Chamber of Commerce will definitely cooperate and support you!"
And so, a drama immediately began to unfold.
Through Dong Chengfang's recent connections in the trade of Chinese herbal medicines, the Chamber of Commerce used a dinner party to leak information to the pharmaceutical industry in Yanjing that Li Xiangnan's pharmaceutical factory had contacted an overseas Chinese biologist through the Chamber of Commerce. The biologist possessed laboratory preparation technology for a novel catalytic enzyme that could significantly increase serum titers. He was negotiating the technology transfer, and the first batch of samples would arrive at a foreign-related hotel next week through a special diplomatic mail channel.
After designing this, Li Xiangnan called Jian Jingzhe.
"where?"
"At home!" Jian Jingzhe looked puzzled. Did you call my home phone?
"I am coming over now!"
"What are you doing here?" Jian Jingzhe panicked. "My parents aren't home!"
"That's just right!"
"???"
