Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

Like Fang Liqing, the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Commerce were also in a state of extreme shock after reading this report.

Although they also knew that the company that Fang Liqing was responsible for was developing very well, after all, a lot of real money had been spent in the past.

Coupled with the report in the middle of last year, everyone has a rough psychological expectation that when the profits for the entire year of last year are handed over, there will definitely be no less.

But they never imagined that United Pharmaceuticals’ revenue last year was US$8.1 million.

The final profit was as high as 7.3 million US dollars.

This is foreign exchange, it’s US dollars, it’s incredible!

In fact, Fang Liqing's profit situation of United Laboratories is not an exaggeration.

Among the several drugs that Lin Shengli presented, at least some of them are best-selling drugs worth tens of billions, and Lipitor is definitely a best-selling drug worth hundreds of billions.

If it weren't for the company responsible for operating these drugs, it was a new small company like United Laboratories, and the people running it were people like Fang Liqing who were not very good at capital operations.

And if these drugs were used by established pharmaceutical business giants such as Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, the revenue would probably increase tenfold.

The leaders of the Ministry of Commerce were shocked by the report sent back by Fang Liqing, and immediately reported the situation to their superiors.

Soon, this report appeared on the desks of the bosses above.

Although the big bosses above had experienced great storms, after reading this report, they were still shocked by the content above.

No one would have thought that the profitability of a small drug-selling company like United Laboratories could be described as sky-high.

This is 7.3 million U.S. dollars. According to our current exchange rate with the U.S. dollar of 1:2.46, this is 17.958 billion U.S. dollars.

You know, in the past 67 years, the annual GDP of our flower growers was only US$728.81 billion.

If you look at it this way, you will find that the net profit of this small United Pharmaceuticals for one year actually reached one percent of our gross national product last year.

How to describe this!

To give the simplest example, in 1967, the combined annual fiscal revenue of an ordinary county in our country was only about two to three million.

Let’s take a real example to illustrate. In 1967, the fiscal revenue of Changshan County and Kaihua County in Hengzhou were 223 million and 290 million respectively, and the statistical currency was still our own money. US dollars.

If calculated in this way, based on the calculation of 599.5 million per county, the net income of United Laboratories in one year is equivalent to the total fiscal income of counties in one year.

According to statistics, in 1970, our flower growers had a total of 2130 county-level divisions, including 2007 natural counties, 66 autonomous counties, 53 banners, 3 autonomous banners, and 1 town.

A federally manufactured pharmaceutical company covers more than a quarter of the counties in the country!

In addition, you must know that United Laboratories earns foreign exchange.

If we exclude Federal Pharmaceuticals, our foreign exchange reserves last year, that is, in 67, were only 2.15 million.

This time, the US$5.11 million that United Pharmaceuticals is about to turn over to the national treasury is more than double the national treasury’s foreign exchange reserves.

How much can be done with so much money!

The report card submitted by United Laboratories cannot be described as an exaggeration. It is a complete myth.

When thinking of this myth, everyone can't help but think of the initiator and biggest contributor of this myth, Lin Shengli.

At this time, all the big guys were rejoicing. Fortunately, they did not rest on their laurels and agreed to such an experimental project that seemed unreliable, the Flag Project.

The initial trust has been rewarded thousands of times, which makes everyone very happy and gratified.

However, after being happy, the big guys here discovered a problem.

That is, the foreign investment of this United Laboratories is really too much.

According to this report, in the past year, they invested almost 100 million US dollars in the Middle East without requesting instructions.

In addition, they bought factories and land on Hong Kong Island, which cost a lot.

Although they spent what they had agreed upon at the beginning, 30% of the profits were used to fund their development.

But you said that local investment in Hong Kong Island is indeed necessary. This is related to future medicines and the manufacturing of various home appliances. No matter how much it costs, it is understandable.

However, the investment in the Middle East is a little hard to understand. It seems that there is no return in the short term.

And the amount of investment is too much, it is a full 100 million US dollars.

Our foreign exchange reserves last year were only 2.15 million. You just threw away half of our foreign exchange reserves to the Middle East.

Do you know how difficult it is for our country to earn US$100 million in foreign exchange?

Although United Laboratories has also given sufficient reasons for these investments in the Middle East, such as expanding new markets, building sales channels, broadening business scope, etc...

However, it seems that these cannot completely convince these big guys of their doubts about these investments. It is really too much money, which makes people feel distressed!

The uncontrolled and crazy investment of United Laboratories also makes the bosses above feel like they are out of control.

This is not a good sign!

A company like United Laboratories, which can contribute more than 5 million US dollars to the national treasury a year, is definitely a super cornucopia and cash cow, and nothing can go wrong.

Therefore, the big guys here unanimously believe that the control of federal pharmaceuticals should be strengthened.

But how to control this kind of semi-wild company that is isolated overseas and has been growing wildly is a big problem.

Although last year, some comrades here proposed to send relevant personnel to United Laboratories.

On the one hand, it is to assist Fang Liqing in his work. After all, on the other side of Hong Kong Island, people are always left to fight alone, which is indeed a bit weak.

In addition, it is also to strengthen the control of federal pharmaceuticals.

However, after this issue was raised, Lin Shengli immediately raised a series of questions.

The superiors take Lin Shengli's opinions very seriously.

And after analysis, the leaders above also believe that before there are solutions to the problems raised by Lin Shengli, the consequences of rashly sending people to get involved in the normal operations of United Laboratories will be disastrous.

These words are not alarmist. You must know what time and period it is now.

If the person sent here has to do something in the country that conforms to the general trend, you can't say that he is wrong.

However, United Lab is located on Hong Kong Island, not in China, where this is not a business.

And if the trouble gets serious, the Hong Kong authorities or other forces discover that United Laboratories is actually here.

Okay, then all the previous efforts of United Laboratories will be in vain...

No one can accept such a result.

Therefore, even radicals will listen to the opinions of professionals, namely Lin Shengli, on matters that can affect making money, especially making foreign exchange. It will not be forced, and those who insist on having their own way must participate.

No matter how much internal struggle there is, having money is better than having no money.

As long as the money comes back, who will distribute it and how it will be used will be an internal matter for each individual based on their abilities.

After all, United Laboratories has already remitted US$1.2 million in foreign exchange in real money, and there will definitely be more in the future.

For this kind of golden chicken that lays golden eggs, no one would kill the chicken to obtain the eggs as long as they are not stupid.

Therefore, in the subsequent period, the higher-ups were selecting suitable personnel and training these people based on the opinions put forward by Lin Shengli, but they did not actually send anyone there.

But now, after the telegram from United Laboratories was sent back, the big guys here can't sit still.

They feel that no matter what they say, some practical actions must be taken here.

After all, this year United Laboratories dared to invest US$100 million in the Middle East without asking for permission. Will it dare to invest US$200 million next year? Will it invest US$500 billion in the future?

All in all, the bosses felt that Fang Liqing's power was a bit too much and must be restrained.

But for this kind of thing, neither the bosses above nor the people in various units below have any experience.

At this time, there was no discussion or outcome.

Then, after being reminded by a certain big boss at the meeting, I felt that I still had to find Lin Shengli to find a solution for this matter.

The reason for finding Lin Shengli was that he initiated the banner project and provided the drugs and tools used to make money. Lin Shengli was most familiar with the concepts of operation and expansion.

He is also the general consultant of this project. If we encounter problems now, we should not ask him as the consultant.

In addition, from what we have learned so far, United Laboratories suddenly made large-scale investments in the Middle East without asking for permission, and Lin Shengli seems to be involved in this.

Therefore, the boss above feels that this is probably Lin Shengli making a big move.

If this is the case, then they need to understand Lin Shengli's true thoughts and see how to cooperate with Lin Shengli's actions.

After all, every move Lin Shengli makes is not aimless and can bring unexpected surprises in the end.

Seeing this, do you feel that the big guys are treating you differently?

The big bosses felt that if Fang Liqing made the final decision on this investment, they felt that Fang Liqing's power was too great and needed to be restrained, and United Laboratories needed to strengthen its control.

But if Lin Shengli did this, then what they were thinking about was how to cooperate.

In fact, we can't blame the superiors for being partial. The things Lin Shengli has done over the years are all beneficial to the country and the people, and can make the flower growers better and better.

Even if you suspect someone has a problem, it is impossible to suspect that Lin Shengli has a problem.

Another thing is that Lin Shengli’s ability to make money is too strong.

Just by setting up a flag project, getting a few medicines, and adding some home appliances, we were able to turn over more than 6 million in foreign exchange to the national treasury in less than two years.

That's it, not counting the value created by the mechanical equipment Lin Shengli built.

As for the defense industry stuff he does, it can't just be calculated in terms of value, so I won't talk about it.

Therefore, if Lin Shengli spends 100 million outside, they have absolutely reason to believe that the things or things he does will be worth several times or more than ten times more than the money spent.

Soon, an emergency order was issued to Rongcheng.

As a result, after Lin Shengli received the order, he could only sit on the transport plane in the dust and rush back the next day.

Regardless of the fatigue from the journey, after Lin Shengli got off the plane, he went directly to the Ministry of Commerce under the escort of security personnel.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Commerce, he was immediately stopped by the guards standing guard.

After the accompanying security personnel took out their IDs and explained who they were looking for, the guards immediately used the phone to verify.

After a while, Yu Quanzhi, wearing a military coat, ran from the courtyard to the concierge.

After a few simple greetings, Lin Shengli, who was already hungry and had his chest pressed against his back, had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense with Yu Quanzhi.

He immediately said that if you don't get me something to eat, I will faint from hunger and I will stay in your commercial department.

Obviously, Yu Quanzhi had already prepared. He should have roughly estimated the time for Lin Shengli to return to Sijiu City and come to them. In a small private room in the small canteen, a table of sumptuous meals had been prepared in advance. .

After dinner, Yu Quanzhi took Lin Shengli to his office and made them both a cup of tea.

Lin Shengli took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Yu, why are you calling me back in such a hurry?"

After saying this, Lin Shengli seemed to have thought of something again, and then added: "Well, if it's convenient for you to say it, just say it. If it's not possible, don't say it."

Yu Quanzhi smiled and said: "There is nothing else I can't say to you, and the higher-ups don't prohibit private communication."

Lin Shengli nodded: "That's good, let's quickly tell you what the situation is."

"It's about Fang Liqing's side."

"What's wrong with Fang Liqing? It's not their family's business and someone will find out about it, I think..."

Before Lin Shengli could finish speaking, Yu Quanzhi quickly interrupted Lin Shengli.

"I said victory, don't make blind guesses, Fang Liqing's family is fine."

"It was he who compiled the revenue statistics of United Laboratories last year and then made a formal report to our country."

"Oh, that's it, then this should be a good thing."

"How about it? Their revenue was pretty good last year, right?"

Hearing that this was the case, Lin Shengli felt relieved and asked about the revenue situation.

"Well, well, the revenue of United Laboratories last year was very good."

With that said, Yu Quanzhi took out the handwritten version of the telegram sent by Fang Liqing from the drawer in his office and handed it to Lin Shengli. (End of chapter)
