Time quickly entered 2004.
Looking back on this year, Neptune has achieved a lot.
Due to the epidemic in the first half of the year, offline transactions almost shrank. The launch of Neptune Online Mall suddenly changed the existing sales pattern.
Today's Neptune online mall has become the top industry leader and is known as the fifth pharmaceutical city.
In less than a year, online transaction volume reached more than 6 billion.
Coupled with offline store sales, Neptune's sales easily exceeded 10 billion this year.
Became the only private unlisted company to enter the tens of billions club.
The North China branch has also been established, and various businesses have been successfully promoted. Although it is still in its infancy, it is very promising.
Anguo Green Plant Cooperative, Wenshan Green Plant Base, and the investment projects of Eryao are also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Not only that, the overseas layout has also made gains.
Jin Minzhi also took over Zhonggen Pharmaceutical with the help of Yin Dongzhu. Although the power was in Yin Dongzhu's hands and Neptune's share was not large and there were not many resources at his disposal, it was still considered a victory.
Without Yin Dongzhu, the 11% stake in Neptune may be lost.
Of course, there are greater challenges ahead.
The first is the Bianguo Chamber of Commerce.
So far, Chen Yang has not figured out the details of the Dingguo merchants, so he naturally has no way to fight back.
But no matter what, through Wenshan Green Planting Base, Chen Yang has successfully become one with the locals.
Even if the Bianguo Chamber of Commerce wanted to get rid of him, it would not be easy.
The second thing is that the North China Scientific Research Center is almost ready and is just waiting to choose a date to open.
Chen Yang decided that after the lawsuit was over, it might be better to open the business when Neptune's R&D capabilities were well-known.
The leader is tentatively named Guo Qing.
This depressed old man still has some skills.
The innovation may not be successful, but there is no problem in in-depth research based on the diagram to greatly assist Professor Chen.
Of course, the most important thing is the next technical battle between Neptune and Xiaori.
In this lawsuit, Neptune must make a name for himself.
"Mr. Chen, Guan Yue is here. He said he has something important to see you."
Security came to report.
"Let her in!"
Chen Yang smiled faintly.
Now that the basic construction of the entire venue has been completed, twenty security guards are in place, and Tian Guang and others are also performing their duties.
The safety factor of the entire venue has been greatly improved.
Chen Yang is not afraid of any trouble caused by the National Chamber of Commerce.
Besides, he has almost investigated Guan Yue's details.
After a while, Guan Yue walked in.
"Mr. Chen, it's really not easy to meet you."
During this meeting, Guan Yue became much more honest.
He knew that his beauty would not catch Chen Yang's eye at all, so he gave up on this idea.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. My time is precious."
Chen Yang said calmly.
He has no interest in these small shrimps.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you are involved in a patent dispute?"
Guan Yue asked tentatively.
dispute?
Chen Yang was speechless.
How dare you ask him for a patent on something that was shameless in your childhood?
However, the Bianguo Chamber of Commerce is quite well informed.
"Is this also called a dispute?"
Chen Yang disagreed.
otherwise!
Guan Yue shook his head and said: "The most important thing in the capital market now is the prospect, and Neptune is also a hot potato that big capital is optimistic about. If it gets into a patent dispute, it will seriously affect financing and investor confidence."
As a well-known figure in the Bianguo Chamber of Commerce, she is also quite capable.
Capital really doesn't like trouble now.
If any project falls into property rights disputes, it will definitely be abandoned by all sources of capital.
But Neptune is a different kind.
Because... Chen Yang is not short of money.
"You don't need to worry about this. As long as I want to raise funds, there are plenty of people willing to invest."
Chen Yang smiled faintly.
This is not a boast.
When we were on Hong Kong Island before, some people had raised this possibility, but Chen Yang simply said a word to dispel their doubts.
China does not recognize Xiaozhi’s Kampo and other derivative patents.
So in Neptune, you don’t have to pay attention to it at all.
There is nothing wrong with filing a lawsuit, apart from making Neptune famous.
"Mr. Chen is very confident. That's right. Currently, Neptune's business is only in China, so it won't have any impact, but..."
Guan Yue paused and said, "Does Mr. Chen's ambition stop at home?"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Yang frowned.
His ambitions naturally extend beyond the country.
"Right now, both Europe and the United States recognize Kampo's patents. Once Haiwang and Xiaorizu get into a patent dispute, Xiaorizu will find a way to block you and make it difficult for your products to be exported. I think this is their real purpose."
Guan Yuesi said slowly.
Chen Yang stopped talking.
Why didn't he think of this?
The reason why Xiaoli chose to make such a fuss was because he wanted to make this incident known to everyone and build momentum for the subsequent technological blockade?
but……
Another smile flashed across Chen Yang's lips.
At present, Neptune controls 20% of the trading volume of medicinal materials, and is also involved in foreign trade.
In small days, we can block technologies and prevent them from being exported.
In addition to its own greed, the reason why China wants to terminate the agreement may also have this reason.
However, Neptune can also block the raw materials in turn, leaving them with no medicinal materials available.
It's just that now, Neptune has not yet completed its monopoly in the medicinal materials industry, and it will not be able to block raw materials for a while.
"Mr. Chen, we can help you."
Guan Yue made suggestions.
help me?
Chen Yang glanced at Guan Yue subconsciously.
"We can allow Neptune to achieve a monopoly position in a short period of time and have the qualifications to challenge Xiaozi. Of course, we will not interfere with Mr. Chen's management, as long as we hold some shares."
Guan Yue vowed to do so.
But Chen Yang would definitely not believe this.
It is easy to ask God but difficult to send Him away.
Once the capital of the British Chamber of Commerce is brought in, it will be difficult to clean it out.
Besides, this chamber of commerce is very mysterious, and Chen Yang doesn't want to have anything to do with them.
"As a pawn, do you also have this right?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Yang asked deliberately.
"Mr. Chen doesn't need to worry about this. As long as Mr. Chen is interested, someone from our side will contact you."
Guan Yue is obviously mature.
hehe!
Chen Yang smiled and took out a cigarette. Guan Yue smiled and picked up the lighter and lit it for him.
Chen Yang took a puff and blew out a smoke ring.
"First, we Neptune are not short of money."
"Second, your Bianguo Chamber of Commerce is very mysterious, and I don't want to take risks. Who knows if your money can be used cleanly?"
"Third, I'm a little curious. Since your Bianguo Chamber of Commerce is so powerful, why are you so interested in Neptune?"
This was also a question that puzzled him.
If Neptune wants to quickly complete its monopoly, it must raise at least tens of billions, develop online trade, and occupy markets at all levels.
How can the Bianguo Chamber of Commerce have such a large capital?
Since they have such huge capital, why do they have to fight against Neptune?
Three questions immediately stunned Guan Yue.
It's not that she can't answer, it's that she doesn't dare to answer.
"see a visitor out!"
Chen Yang didn't even raise his head.
This Bianguo Chamber of Commerce is really patient, asking Guan Yue to grind with them again and again.
He can't be too patient either.
"Mr. Chen..."
Guan Yue wanted to say something else, but was blocked by Lao Hu.
"Miss Guan, please go out."
Seeing that this time it was still in vain, Guan Yue couldn't help but said anxiously: "Mr. Chen, if you feel that I don't have enough weight, we can find someone with weight to talk to you..."
This is what Chen Yang was waiting for.
"Then let's find someone with weight."
good!
Guan Yue also breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been working hard on Chen Yang for a while, and finally managed to break open a crack in this smelly and hard stone.
As long as Chen Yang has something to talk about, that's fine.
Her mission was completed.
As for whether the next negotiation can be concluded or not, it is none of her business.
"I will report it to the superiors. It won't be long before someone comes looking for Mr. Chen."
Chen Yang was noncommittal, and after Guan Yue left, his expression immediately darkened.
The strength is still not enough!
Faced with the blockade of Xiaoli, he has no countermeasures for the time being.
Branches and R&D centers still need to step up their efforts and strive to occupy major pharmaceutical cities within two to three years and form a monopoly.
About one billion has been invested so far in the construction of the North China branch, R&D center and logistics points.
This is just a branch.
In the next two to three years, Chen Yang will build three to five branches and R&D centers.
It only requires an investment of 40 to 5 billion.
With Neptune's current income, it will take at least two to three years to build a new branch.
Not only is there a funding gap, there is also a talent gap.
Neptune's talent pool cannot keep up now.
Far from enough!
When he thought of this, Chen Yang's head felt a little big.
Although Neptune's turnover has exceeded tens of billions, its net profit after excluding various expenses and taxes is only around a few hundred million.
Although a few hundred million is a lot, when averaged over the companies it owns, it's not much at all.
Fortunately, the overseas layout is achieved by relying on the dividends from patent exports, otherwise the current Neptune will not be enough to support the current situation.
But there’s no rush for this!
At present, Neptune has no plans to export overseas.
To fight against the outside world, one must make peace within.
If you can't handle it domestically, don't even think about it abroad for now.
Ding ding ding, the phone rang, it was Fang Qingpu.
"It's about to start, are you ready?"
Fang Qingpu's quiet voice came from over there.
Are you about to start?
Chen Yang was shocked.
He was already prepared.
This time, Xiaoli must be made miserable.
patent?
hehe!
Thinking too much.
"Thank you for reminding me. I have entrusted this matter to Lawyer Cao."
Chen Yang subconsciously mentioned something.
"Grass!"
Fang Qingpu cursed loudly: "Chen Yang, your uncle..."
Isn’t this why the pot should be lifted if it is not opened?
Is the fat man unhappy?
Chen Yang quickly hung up the phone with a proud look on his face.
Fang Qingpu vs Cao Sen?
Just thinking about it made him feel excited.
Who is the weird fighter?
Next, let everyone wait and see.
…
Dynasty Club!
Boss Hong listened carefully to the secretary's report.
Guan Yue is not qualified to meet the red boss yet.
Everything was reported by the secretary.
"Boss, Guan Yue wants us to contact Chen Yang again."
"Haha, I don't see any sincerity in Chen Yang's words. This Guan Yue is also a fool. Hasn't Chen Yang been dealt with by now?"
"I still think he doesn't know enough about the British Chamber of Commerce. Maybe we can leak it a little bit and say that he is more willing to cooperate."
"You want us to reveal more in front of him."
The secretary stopped talking.
Innocent!
Boss Hong snorted.
Although the Bianguo Chamber of Commerce has a great foundation, it is often shady.
It would be fine if Chen Yang sincerely surrendered to him, but if he didn't sincerely surrender to him, many things would be at risk of being exposed.
Although there is nothing to be afraid of in Yun Province, it is still best to be cautious.
Besides, Chen Yang is not a simple guy, he also has a background from the Li family.
The Li family is an existence that even Mr. Mao cannot see through.
"We can't take such risks."
Boss Hong shook his head, feeling a little confused.
She is very optimistic about Chen Yang and Neptune. Once they are absorbed into the Chamber of Commerce, they will be of great use.
Through these several interactions, she also gained some understanding of Chen Yang's temperament.
This guy is totally willing to take the soft side rather than the hard side.
Threats are not very effective.
Besides, she has nothing to hold Chen Yang's hands now.
The secretary suddenly hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?"
Boss Hong glanced sideways at the secretary.
"Boss, I think it's better to attack his weak points."
weakness!
Boss Hong frowned.
At present, Chen Yang's only known weakness seems to be women.
But this guy is so shrewd that he has been hiding in the base since he arrived in Yun Province. The red boss can't use all his tricks.
"I heard that Chen Yang has set up a green planting base in the mountains, and there is a shortage of people around him..."
"Are you trying to break into the inside? But Chen Yang is not a fool, so how could he use an outsider?"
Boss Hong asked rhetorically.
"Did you forget the white rose?"
The secretary reminded me.
Boss Hong was startled, then shook his head.
"That woman is unreliable!"
Chen Yang doesn't seem to have much interest in her either.
"Boss, Bai Gui is greedy for money, and we have the handle. If we are willing to pay a small price, she will probably cooperate. We don't need to ask her to do anything, we just need to ask Bai Gui to arrange people around Chen Yang
That’s fine.”
Makes sense!
Boss Hong’s eyes lit up.
Maybe this method can be tried.
But...who should I let go?
She does have many excellent girls on her hands, but they all have their own uses, and she can't find the right one for a while.
Then, she set her sights on the secretary.
"Boss...I can't do it!"
The secretary did not expect to shoot himself in the foot, and secretly complained in his heart.
Boss Hong reached out and touched her face, and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not willing to let you go either."
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, there is indeed no good candidate now. Xuanxuan, just sacrifice yourself."
Boss Hong lifted her hair from her forehead.
boss……
The secretary's heart skipped a beat.
"After this is done, I will release your father, how about it?"
Boss Hong looked into her eyes.
The secretary's breathing became heavy.
After a long moment, he nodded fiercely.
very good!
Boss Hong stood up with a smile and then unbuttoned his clothes.
"Tonight is my reward for you..."
He said and roughly pushed him down on the sofa.
