Cao Weidong underestimated the shameless promises of these people.
Who said that if people run away, the temple cannot run away?
Tsumura Pharmaceutical directly shut down its business in Hong Kong City, all stores were closed, and employees were either fired or returned to their hometowns.
There was a lot of chicken feathers left on the ground, and there was not even an explanation.
The citizens of Hong Kong City were extremely dissatisfied. They scolded Tsumura Pharmacy and even went to the Hong Kong Governor's Office to complain.
I heard that the Hong Kong Governor's Office later sent people to negotiate and fined Tsumura Pharmaceuticals a large sum of money before the matter was settled.
If Tsumura Pharmacy runs away, Shouzhengtang will gain the most.
During this wave of anti-counterfeiting controversy that lasted for six months, Shouzhengtang’s quality has been proven.
And Cao Weidong also seized the opportunity.
We rented the store that Tsumura Pharmacy had abandoned and renovated the decoration. Once the door was changed, a new Shouzhengtang was created.
In just one month, Shouzhengtang covered the entire Hong Kong city and became the largest chain pharmaceutical company in Hong Kong city.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Weidong spent a huge amount of money to buy a building as the headquarters of Shouzhengtang and moved out from Asia Pictures.
Although both are his industries, it is somewhat inconsistent for a chain pharmaceutical company to operate in another corporate building.
A few days later.
Shouzhengtang Company Headquarters.
Cao Weidong, Xu Aiguo, Mr. Zhong, several of his apprentices, and several newly recruited company executives were all present.
In the early morning, people outside the window are surging and bustling, indicating that this city has begun another beautiful day.
It is already September in the golden autumn, and thanks to the climate in the port city, the temperature is still very comfortable.
"Currently, we have opened 29 stores, covering 18 major regions including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories, and have achieved the company's first phase goal."
"The company has been in operation for one and a half years, with a total revenue of 34.5 million and a payment of 34 million. The bulk of the expenditure items are mainly pharmaceutical factory construction, new drug research and development, clinical trials, personnel expenses, shop leasing and operating costs, etc.
several aspects."
Xu Aiguo reported on the company's operations.
Cao Weidong nodded.
"The net profit is still 500,000 yuan, which is pretty good."
The initial investment in a pharmaceutical factory is already high, and since Cao Weidong insists on high standards and requirements, and also sends the drug to regular clinical trials, the cost will naturally be high.
Moreover, Tsumura Pharmacy came out to cause trouble and disrupted the market with low prices. For most of half a year, Shouzhengtang suffered losses. For this reason, it cut many unnecessary expenses and worked hard to maintain revenue.
Cao Weidong thought he would lose money, but he didn't expect to make a profit of 500,000 yuan in the end. He was already very satisfied.
He smiled again and said: "It's still profitable, which is pretty good. During the Chinese New Year this year, I will send a big red envelope to the company's employees as an encouragement."
Xu Aiguo and others looked at each other and said with great joy.
"thank you boss."
Cao Weidong continued to ask.
"What are the company's next plans?"
Xu Aiguo took out another document and said in a similar manner.
"Next we have two plans. One is drug planning, and we plan to develop new health products."
Mr. Zhong stood up.
"We have purchased several ancient medicinal materials and prescriptions during this period. The products have been produced. How effective they are, we still need to send them to clinical trials."
Cao Weidong nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work. In addition, there are various vitamins, fish oil and other health products on the market. Although they are based on the Western medicine system, they lead to the same goal. We also need to produce them."
Mr. Zhong said quickly.
"I'm not very familiar with this area and need to recruit people."
This was the request, and Xu Aiguo quickly wrote it down.
Then he continued.
"Another plan is to open up the mainland market. We have already negotiated stores in Shanghai, Tianjin, BJ and other places. As a pilot project, if the sales are good, we will gradually expand the scale of the film industry."
"In recent years, the mainland has become more and more open, and government departments have released many signals to the outside world. Hong Kong businessmen like us can also invest and start businesses in the mainland. This is an opportunity."
Cao Weidong nodded again.
He attaches great importance to the mainland market.
Conservative estimates suggest that this is a large market worth at least RMB 100 billion. If we can break into it, we will definitely make good profits.
And he is confident.
Our own products are much more effective than Aang Oral Liquid, Yong Yi Pills, and Jin Oral Liquid.
Xu Aiguo raised his eyebrows at this time, looking strange.
"By the way, according to the information we heard, Tsumura Pharmacy has also opened a store in the mainland."
Cao Weidong said.
"These guys are stubborn and stubborn. They can't defraud money in the port city, so they go to the mainland to cheat..."
"It's okay, don't pay attention to them. If we can defeat them once, we can defeat them a second time."
The product is the last word.
People like Tsumura Pharmacy, who rely on fake and shoddy products and only falsify data, will overturn sooner or later.
Xu Aiguo laughed.
"The boss is right. When we return to the mainland market, we must give them a good look."
He is a native of BJ. He first followed Cao Weidong to Tongquan to establish a state-owned enterprise, and then because of the storm, he followed Cao Weidong to sneak into the port city. Now more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
He has also grown from a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old to a middle-aged uncle in his thirties. The vicissitudes of time have left a mark on his face.
But when he thought about being able to go home soon, he was eager to return home and couldn't wait to go back immediately.
Cao Weidong understood Xu Aiguo's mood.
If it weren't for his special status, he would have returned to the mainland a few years ago and met his relatives and friends.
Buzz.
The phone in the office suddenly rang.
Cao Weidong frowned.
He was in a meeting and had already told the company's employees not to disturb him if there was nothing important.
Why are you calling now?
He picked up the phone and heard a quick voice coming from the phone.
"Boss, big news, big news."
Cao Weidong was stunned for a moment and asked: "What news?"
The staff member said hurriedly.
"The Iron Lady of the Commonwealth visited China, and then she fell down when she was leaving the negotiations. It is said that the negotiations failed."
Cao Weidong held the microphone in a daze, and for a moment he even forgot to reply.
He remembered that this was a famous event in history, and was later rated as the "Fall of the Century" by netizens who were good at it.
An inexplicable emotion surged in his chest.
This is pride!
He's not the only one.
Everyone around who heard the sound of the microphone subconsciously held their breath and looked up at Cao Weidong in astonishment.
Port cities are inherently special.
Due to its historical reasons, the question of whether to stay or leave in the future affects the hearts of all Hong Kong citizens.
Everyone present knows that recently, the Iron Lady, carrying the power of victory in the Falklands War, went to China to negotiate with the chief minister.
This incident caused an uproar in Hong Kong City.
Now it seems that the result of the negotiation is out?
