3. The beginning of the encounter

In an old apartment in Shanghai, Xiao Ming received a call from his old friend Yang Tao, saying that a friend wanted to visit him these days, as if he was the founder of a pharmaceutical company and wanted to cooperate with him. Although he tried every means to shirk it, he decided to meet because of the situation.

Xiao Ming just heard Yang Tao talk about this friend's experience, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, compared with his own life, the experience is also very similar.

After graduation, I have been working in financial institutions, participated in the listing and mergers and acquisitions of so many companies, and thought that I had been like a fish in water in the capital market, but in the end I fell heavily when I started my own business. Ten years ago, he withdrew from the financial industry and started his own business, and used his connections and tens of millions of cash to make Longteng Pharmaceutical, which he founded, the most potential gene drug company in China, in less than three years. Using the results and patents he had previously studied in the medical school, he extracted trace elements from Chinese medicinal materials through supercritical fluid extraction, which attracted national attention as soon as it was released. In the fifth year of its establishment, the company was ready to go public, but in the final link, it was forced to withdraw from the management by the investment institution on the grounds that it did not achieve the expected returns. In the end, although the company was listed, Xiao Ming found that the internal shareholders and external short-selling institutions cut the leeks of the shareholders, and withdrew all the shares from Longteng Pharmaceutical after realizing the shares, and finally the company declared bankruptcy. His ten years of blood and sweat have come to naught, and the company he has grown up for many years has become a tool for financial giants to exploit shareholders, and he can't accept this outcome.

Being busy is a kind of happiness that makes you have no time to experience pain, running around is a kind of happiness where you can truly feel life, and being tired is a kind of enjoyment that you can have no time to experience emptiness. From the past to the present, Xiao Ming is very envious and admires those who can socialize and socialize, and he has always been unable to learn or feel uncomfortable, and often blames himself. Thinking about it now, it doesn't seem bad, at least it's much better than finding only a tired, lonely, and empty self at the scene when the crowd is gone, the lights are dim, and the cups and plates are messy.

For three years, he has been hiding in this small room, basically not in contact with the outside world, taking out and drinking every day, this kind of life has made the business tycoon who used to attend major press conferences every day and was watched by all kinds of people become a middle-aged decadent man with messy hair every day.

However, the friend Yang Tao said is also quite interesting, he is about the same age as himself, with the same courage and momentum, the difference is that he has become a past tense, while others are in the present tense. Back then, I was high-spirited and directed, but now others are working hard to support me under heavy pressure, and it is indeed commendable that I can hold on for so long.

Moreover, it is said that this friend of his has persevered for 30 years for his current cause, which is somewhat puzzling. By age, did you start doing this in high school? It's getting more and more interesting.

"Boom... Boom... Knock", three knocks woke up Xiao Ming, who had just woken up the next day, rubbed his eyes, and got up to open the door.

When I opened the door, there was a middle-aged man in his forties standing outside, carrying a computer bag, with some sweat on his face, as if he had just gone upstairs quickly.

"You're Mr. Park, right? ”

After speaking, Xiao Ming led Park Yuanri into the door, made a cup of tea on the table, and then sat down in the seat opposite him.

"Mr. Park, hello, first meeting. Yang Tao told me that you were coming over in the next few days, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. So, you see where we start first, after all, I just listened to him briefly introduce some things, and I still don't know much about the specific things. ”

Park Yuanri straightened up and couldn't wait to say: "The first time I sat with you face-to-face, I was still a little nervous, it turned out that I saw you on the news every time." In this way, I would like to introduce to you the company I do, which is called Pufang Biotech, which is also a pharmaceutical company. All of our products and pharmacies are recipes handed down by my old man and his master, and currently make burn creams, poison extraction creams, shampoos, plasters, and our medicines, although they are called this name, can basically be treated as long as they are skin problems. Moreover, the problem of the people who have basically used our things has been solved, and the results are very good, but now I don't know how to promote it, but I believe that our target group is still very broad. Mr. Xiao, I calculated that if it is done well, there is no problem with the company's annual turnover of 1 billion. ”

Xiao Ming listened to Park Yuanri's introduction, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in his heart, as an entrepreneur, he understood that Park Yuanri, the companies and products he made were like his own children, and no father would feel that his children had shortcomings. But as a business operator, such an idea is very fatal, and it is difficult to make your products recognized in the market, after all, although drugs do not need great packaging and boasting like other industries, it is difficult to succeed if you don't understand the market at all.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to come to Park Fang as CEO, I don't know...... What do you think?" Park Won-il couldn't help but feel a little worried when he said this, after all, his family knows his own affairs, and the current business situation of the company, it is not easy to invite such a great god.

"This..."Xiao Ming thought about refusing, but thinking that after all, he was introduced by a friend, so it was not easy to speak directly, he said, "Why don't you let me think about it for a few more days!"

If you don't refuse completely, then there is still a chance, Park Yuanri thought, and then said: "You see it's time for lunch now, I have set a place next to it, let's go eat something." ”

After speaking, he took Xiao Ming to a home-cooked restaurant next to him and ordered some wine. After the third tour, Park Yuanri began to recall his story, and Xiao Ming did not interject, sitting quietly on the side, listening quietly.
