Chapter 284 Positioning
After a long while, An Xueyan finally spoke: "I can come up with a new drug, but you need to find someone to apply for an international patent in my name first.
I will license the new drug to the factory for production, and I will receive royalties plus a 49% stake. I will not be involved in any other matters."
Wei Yan said decisively without hesitation: "Okay."
"Another point. What is your vision for this pharmaceutical company? Do you want to become a national or even global giant, or do you just want to produce a few drugs and make a little money?"
This puzzled Wei Yan. "What's the difference? Aren't they all about making money?"
"Of course I have it. If you just want to make some money by producing a few drugs, I can provide it, but in the future, it may be a stable income."
"What if I want to expand?"
"If we want to expand, we need to establish a pharmaceutical research department and recruit professionals to continuously research and develop new products to take a leading position in this industry."
Wei Yan looked at An Xueyan, his eyes telling me, aren't you here for me?
An Xueyan understood what he meant and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"Don't expect me to keep supplying new drugs to the pharmaceutical factory. Even the donkeys in the production team are not worth using. Besides, one person's power is ultimately limited. Only by gathering high-end technical talents in this industry can the factory achieve stable and sustainable development."
Wei Yan had never thought about these things. At first, he just thought that he could make money in the medicine industry. After all, it is impossible for people to stay healthy all their lives by eating grains.
Whenever you are sick, you need medicine. He produces medicines for several common diseases and then sells them. Isn't this the goose that lays golden eggs?
However, after listening to An Xueyan's words, he had to admit that what she said made sense. He was also ambitious. If he wanted to do it, who wouldn't want to build a well-known company?
After thinking for a moment, he looked into An Xueyan's eyes and said firmly, "I understand what you mean. I want to expand. In the future, I will arrange for the factory to invest part of its profits in drug research."
An Xueyan smiled slyly. "Doing your own research is one thing, but you can also find a pharmaceutical research lab or university to collaborate with. You invest the money, they contribute the effort, and when there are results, you share the profits. You know, what these places lack the most is high-end talent."
After the two reached an agreement, the rest was about how to negotiate with the pharmaceutical company. An Xueyan's professional questions made the pharmaceutical company no longer feel contemptuous.
Regardless of whether she could afford the money or not, at least her professional knowledge far surpassed that of everyone in their pharmaceutical factory, which gave them some confidence.
Their demands are to resolve the issue of wage arrears for nearly 200 people in the pharmaceutical factory, and not to fire existing employees.
Wei Yan had anticipated this request. He had no objection to the first one, as he could make up the full salary, but he disagreed with the second one.
His demand was that all current employees of the pharmaceutical factory should be re-evaluated. Those who passed the assessment would be retained, while those who failed would be allowed to leave with an extra month's salary.
The pharmaceutical company did not agree immediately, and the three did not force them. They just asked them to think about it for two days before giving a reply.
Let Wei Yan solve these problems. After negotiation, she just needs to sign the contract and provide the money and technology.
After returning to An, An Xueyan gave Wei Yan 15 yuan in cash and a piece of paper about the preparation method and efficacy of the new medicine.
Wei Yan also wrote her a receipt very formally and drafted a contract and signed it before leaving with the money and the prescription.
After the others left, An Honglei said, "Wei Yan is an okay person, but people's hearts are fickle, so we need to be more careful in the future and be more cautious at all times."
An Honglei watched quietly throughout the whole process. He had 100% confidence in his sister when it came to pharmaceutical manufacturing.
He was worried about people, and he made conclusions only after finding no major problems.
An Xueyan lay in the rocking chair, blinking her clear and beautiful eyes, her expression cold and lazy. "Even if he has other ideas in the future, it won't be of much use. All the medicines I provide will be patented in my name. If there is any abnormality, I can withdraw and I won't lose anything. He may not be able to do that."
She still believed that she had the ability to control Wei Yan, and she would not invest all her efforts in this factory. It would only account for a small part of her many investments in the future.
There are so many big companies to invest in in the future. If she doesn't take the opportunity to grab a position, she will be betraying God's good intentions.
……
Soon the day came for them to return home.
At the strong request of the injured soldier An Jiandang, he also wanted to go back to celebrate the New Year and not be alone in Beijing.
I found a way to buy sleeper tickets for the three men in Uncle An's family, my second cousin's wife, and An Xueyan, a total of five people.
The remaining five members of the An family, plus Li Chao, An Sanhu, and An Qingshan, drove two cars and two large trucks back together.
By the way, I can also send a batch of southern specialties and electrical appliances back to the stores in the city, so that I can make some money before the end of the year.
When An Xueyan and her friends arrived at the train station, the team that drove the car was already waiting at the train station.
We picked them up and headed straight to Hulintun.
It was 18 p.m. and it would take more than two hours to drive back without stopping.
As soon as I arrived at the intersection leading to the village, I saw a blurry figure standing in the distance, looking around with a flashlight.
"Grandpa." An Xueyan leaned out and spoke tentatively.
"Yan Yan, you're back."
An Honglei drove his car and stopped beside An Youliang, opened the door and stood in front of the old man.
There was a flicker of excitement in his eyes and his voice was clear.
"Grandpa, I'm back."
An Youliang looked at his grandson whom he hadn't seen for several years. His face had lost the childishness of his youth, and his handsome features were still filled with a hint of determination.
He patted his grandson's shoulder excitedly, and with a look of surprise and relief on his face, he kept saying, "Okay, okay, okay!"
"Our Shitou has returned this year too. Come home with Grandpa."
He excitedly pulled the person and turned to leave.
An Honglei reluctantly reminded: "Grandpa, let's take the bus back."
"Well, I'm confused."
An Qingguo, who got out of the car later, said with a smile, "The old man must be so happy to see his grandson."
When An Youliang saw his eldest son, he remembered that he had an injured grandson.
He asked with concern, "Boss, how is Jiandang doing? Now that you're back, can Jiandang's wife in Beijing take care of you?"
An Jiandang was still in the car so he didn't see anyone and didn't know that he had followed him back.
"Dad, the couple came back together. It's cold outside. Let's go home and talk about it!" After saying this, he shrank his neck because of the cold.
The weather in my hometown is much colder than in Beijing.
Although An Youliang had a lot of questions to ask, he knew that this was not the place to talk, so he got in the car first.
"Why do you have two cars? Third brother, did you buy another car?"
The look in his eyes when he looked at his third son was disapproval. Who can afford two cars? Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this. This is too extravagant.
The wealthy families in the past were not so grand.
Knowing that the old man was worried about the money, An Qingping patiently explained,
"I usually use the previous car. Yanyan often travels between several units, and it's not safe for a girl like her, so I bought her a car."
Not wanting her father to be criticized, An Xueyan said in a soft voice, "Grandpa, Dad is worried about me, so please don't be angry with him, okay?"
When An Youliang knew that the car was bought for his granddaughter, he immediately performed Sichuan Opera face-changing.
He said with a smile: "It's Yanyan's. You have to go to school, work, and do research on a daily basis. It's really hard. Having a car can save time. You should buy it."
Anqingping...
In the old man's mind, he is just a weed!
An Honglei looked at the familiar road in the village, listened to the conversation of his family in the car, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Li Chao and the others did not go with them. They went to deliver the goods and would not be back until tomorrow.
The two cars were full of family members, so they went directly to the old house.
Zhang Guihua was waiting eagerly in the house. When she heard the sound of the car, she jumped off the kang and ran out.
