The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

The staff of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals naturally have a cafeteria.

Employees do not need to spend money themselves, and there will be salary subsidies every month.

Han Changyu is already a frequent visitor here, but it is Lin Ming's first time here.

The staff of the cafeteria thought that Lin Ming was inspecting the work, and they were all nervous and did not dare to slack off.

"Try this fried fish, it tastes very good."

"And this small flower roll, sometimes I can eat three without eating vegetables."

"Yes, yes, this fried egg with tomatoes is also good."

"Here, braised spareribs, it looks good, right?"

Han Changyu walked while putting vegetables on Lin Ming's plate.

"Enough, enough." Lin Ming smiled bitterly.

The two of them found a place to sit down.

Lin Ming could feel the eyes of many employees around him.

China has never lacked manpower.

After this period of recruitment, the number of employees in Phoenix Pharmaceutical has exceeded 200.

If the laboratory department and cleaners are added, the number will be around 240.

Of course, compared with the entire industrial park, more than 200 people are still too few.

Under normal circumstances, there must be one or two hundred people in a workshop alone.

"Everyone often talks about it, saying that Mr. Lin has achieved such success at a young age, and has always regarded you as a role model." Han Changyu joked.

Lin Ming shook his head and took a few bites of food.

It tasted really good.

After eating big fish and meat, it is sometimes very comfortable to eat some home-cooked dishes.

"What's going on in the afternoon?" Han Changyu asked.

Lin Ming nodded: "I plan to go to Guixing Bridge in the afternoon. I haven't been there since the construction started. Although Uncle Han is taking care of it, I can't just leave it alone."

"Then let me tell you about the current situation of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals."

Han Changyu wiped his mouth: "You can see that Phoenix Pharmaceuticals now has more than 200 employees. According to the recruitment package you gave, the monthly salary starts at 6,000, and bonuses and performance are not included."

"There are no products on the market yet. Even if it is paid according to the basic salary, it will cost 1.45 million per month. . "

Lin Ming smiled slightly: "Why, are you anxious?"

"It's a lie to say I'm not anxious!"

Han Changyu said: "The laboratory department has not given a definite answer yet. You are now paying money every day. Even if this is not my industry, I feel bad for it."

"Didn't I tell you that the special cold medicine will be available around New Year's Day?"

Lin Ming looked calm: "It's only one or two million yuan a month, don't worry about it. Compared to this salary, the laboratory has already burned nearly 1 billion yuan!"

Without waiting for Han Changyu to speak.

Lin Ming added: "The pharmaceutical industry is a very money-burning industry. I have been mentally prepared for this."

"Phoenix Pharmaceuticals has only been established for two months. Believe it or not, if it were someone else, they would cry over the money!"

Han Changyu rolled his eyes at Lin Ming: "Whether others cry over the money or not is none of my business. I am just afraid that if you cry over the money, you will have no money to pay me."

"Damn, you still care about that little salary?" Lin Ming glared.

"Of course, a mosquito leg is still meat no matter how small it is."

Han Changyu curled his lips: "You, a local tyrant, can't understand the poverty of us mortals."

Lin Ming was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him: "Zhang Kuang and others are developing special cold medicines while developing other special medicines."

"At present, these employees are definitely not enough. Once the special cold medicine comes out, it will immediately usher in an explosive market."

"And the special cold medicine is just a base for Phoenix Pharmaceutical to take off. When other special medicines are also launched, you will definitely be very busy."

"I still have to advise you, don't worry about how much the salary is. Even if you are just supporting a group of idle people now, you should try to recruit more employees to avoid being stretched to the limit at that time."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, anyway, it's your money." Han Changyu nodded.

Lin Ming asked again: "How is the Food and Drug Administration? Have you contacted them?"

"I have contacted them, but... they don't seem to think much of us." Han Changyu said.

"Hmm?"

Lin Ming frowned: "What do you mean?"

"You know Director Song Shilei of the Drug Administration, right?" Han Changyu said.

"I know. He's the second-in-command of the Drug Administration. He usually handles all matters, big or small." Lin Ming

Responded.

Han Changyu snorted: "How should I put it? This person doesn't seem to believe in the word 'special effect'."

Lin Ming suddenly realized.

"Actually, this is understandable."

Lin Ming smiled and said: "Under normal circumstances, pharmaceutical companies like us, even if we really develop a certain product, are exactly the same as the drugs on the market, and the Drug Administration has no need to pay attention to it."

"Phoenix Pharmaceuticals may be a little famous now, but that fame is due to my donation to Yizhou Province, not from the drugs themselves."

"In addition, there may be many pharmaceutical companies that really study those serious disease drugs, but how many pharmaceutical companies really study cold drugs?"

"Based on these, the people in the Drug Administration will definitely think that we are sensationalizing and using the Drug Administration as a springboard to gain fame. Of course, they will not look at you in a good face."

"It didn't turn its face to me, but it was just indifferent, which made me feel a little uncomfortable." Han Changyu said.

He added: "In fact, it's not just the Food and Drug Administration. Many of our peers are watching Phoenix Pharmaceuticals."

"Your previous donation of 3 billion yuan caused too much noise. I'm afraid that all people in the industry think that you are using this to build a reputation for Phoenix Pharmaceuticals."

"If the special cold medicine still hasn't been released after this wave of storms, or if it is released, it doesn't achieve the expected effect, then it will definitely be ridiculed as an anticlimactic effort."

"By then, not only will all our efforts be in vain, but it will also be like shooting ourselves in the foot, and it will be a thankless job."

Not all drugs are eligible for the Food and Drug Administration to intervene in the negotiation of prices.

Only those drugs that are truly effective and have a near-monopoly patent will be intervened by the Food and Drug Administration.

Lin Ming knows the effect of the special cold medicine, and what he wants is to benefit the people.

However, the Food and Drug Administration does not think so.

Han Changyu told Lin Ming this, in fact, it was also a secret reminder for Lin Ming to grasp the "degree" of it.

"Don't worry, when the special cold medicine comes out, I will definitely save your face."

Lin Ming patted Han Changyu on the shoulder: "At that time, it will not be us who beg the Drug Administration, but the Drug Administration that begs us."

"Of course I trust you 100%, which is the main reason why I am so anxious."

Han Changyu snorted coldly: "What I, Han Changyu, hate most is that kindness is taken for granted. I hope that the guys in the Drug Administration can still keep their arrogant faces!"
