The boss of the East Bay Biopharmaceutical Company, whose name is Shen Tuo, is An Xiaoyu who had already investigated before they came.

Shen Tuo founded the East Bay about three years ago, when Shen Tuo was forty-two years old and now forty-five. In three years, Dongwan Biopharmaceutical has followed in Donghuang, and it has blossomed all over the country, establishing so many factories, to say that there is nothing boring, An Xiaoyu 10,000 do not believe it.

But here's the problem, this East Bay and Shen Tuo, it seems that there is really no problem. He didn't even have financing, he relied on his own production Jiujiang Dongwan to expand to this scale, and all the business traced and looked very legitimate, without any loopholes.

In other words, to be able to do this, if this Shen Tuo is not a real peerless master, then there is a huge force behind him that has supported him to this day, then this force is likely to be the one Gu Sanxun said.

Consortium.

Consortium is not a term native to the Empire, the term appeared in the Empire, probably more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, due to the rapid development of industry and commerce in the empire, merchants became the first mainstream industry at that time, and many people flocked to it.

Because the empire itself is often close to saturation, many people look at the alien side, and some people begin to realize that exporting the products of the empire outside the empire, and then exchanging them for natural materials and treasures, and then coming back to sell them at a high price, is simply a lucrative business.

Therefore, some people began to take risks and go to foreign territories to trade and trade.

At the beginning, there was indeed resistance within the alien race, but with the continuous export of human beings, more and more alien races were willing to accept human goods, especially those that looked extremely delicate and very practical in daily life, so that the ordinary people of the alien race indulged in them.

So the Council of Elders had no choice but to gather a few races that were more adept at calculation and management, and let their people begin to educate and popularize all races extensively. Divide all the races willing to accept human trade into several groups, each guided by a race that is good at business.

Under such education and guidance, it is inevitable that collective interests will arise, and when collective interests begin to spread, such groups of different races will begin to compete for the right to trade more broadly with human beings, and there will be a struggle for assets.

The word consortium was coined by aliens at this time.

A consortium is a group of people who are led by one or a few families or races that control a large amount of capital, and who control almost all the large capital in the entire region, monopolizing the trading industry.

Of course, monopoly occurs within a foreign race, and monopoly is absolutely not allowed to arise within the empire. Even the Jiudaoguan Company, which flourished later, did not control all the interests of mecha technology and sales and production of mecha in their own hands.

On the contrary, with the promotion of the state, more and more groups are willing to publish new technologies for mechas, and produce and practice them in ways that do not want to be traded. Now almost all the key universities and military research institutes in the empire have the ability to mass-produce mechas.

This is also one of the reasons why in the economy and trade, the alien race did not rely on the consortium to become the main manipulator of trade. Of course, the lack of knowledge of advanced machining and precision production, as well as the lack of understanding of the economic situation within the empire, are also important factors.

But once the concept of the consortium spread to the empire, it was quickly imitated. Instead of monopolizing production and the economy, they began to monopolize the territory according to the national conditions of the empire.

Generally, the consortium within the empire is to monopolize the economic activities within a region in order to control the area where their economic interests are located, and you can make it more convenient for them to make money.

It has to be said that An Xiaoyu now relies on the development of satellite communication technology under the state. However, it is estimated that in a few hundred years, the empire will also disclose satellite technology in the same way as a few technologies, and then it will be the era of satellites up and down the country.

Xinfan Group will obviously become an important part of the imperial consortium, but it is estimated that An Xiaoyu and Che Zichang have retreated into the background, Xinfan is still Xinfan, and the controller of the consortium is hiding behind, controlling all the capital.

If Dongwan Biopharmaceutical is really controlled by the consortium behind Dongyun, An Xiaoyu will find it very difficult. After all, such a thing as a consortium is a field of private verbal agreement, and no one knows who the giants of the consortium are? I don't know what they did.

After entering the office, An Xiaoyu and Xu Hewei saw the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk, with a big back, a mustache, and white shirt and overalls, which made An Xiaoyu feel a little miserable.

But Shen Tuo felt good about himself, stood up and showed a charming smile of a mature man of that era, and whispered to An Xiaoyu: "Shaozong and the young head of Jiudaoguan came to my company, it is really brilliant, come, please sit down!" ”

An Xiaoyu and Xu Hewei sat down, and the secretary next to them poured them a cup of tea, and then left the office, closing the door of the office tightly. But An Xiaoyu did not miss it, and when this person closed the door, he made eye contact with Shen Tuo.

She didn't see what this look meant, but at least it showed that her previous aggressiveness had been wary of them.

Sure enough, Shen Tuo pondered for a moment and said tentatively: "I don't know if the two distinguished guests are here, what important things to discuss?" I heard you weren't here to watch the game? If you want to come to our office, don't you stop by, right? ”

Xu Hewei nodded, took out the electronic board, put it on the table for Shen Tuo to see, and asked, "We are here this time to conduct a small investigation on behalf of the special department above, so I want to ask you to cooperate, I don't know if Boss Shen is willing." ”

"Yes, of course I do!" Shen Tuo didn't even scan the identification code on the electronic board to confirm Xu He's identity, and immediately agreed, as if he had already known that he would be investigated, An Xiaoyu frowned and did not speak.

Looking at Shen Tuo's appearance, An Xiaoyu spread her feelings to every corner of the company, observing all the details of the company, and found that the people in the company were normal and didn't look like there was a problem at all, so she returned her attention to Shen Tuo.

Xu Hewei said: "I don't know if Boss Shen has heard about the recent uproar about sudden death from brain failure?" ”

Shen Tuo smiled: "Of course I have heard of sudden brain death failure, this is a symptom that rarely appeared before, brain failure, is the most common case of organ failure in the human body, and brain failure is often accompanied by a rather half-time process, if it can lead to sudden death, it means that brain failure is very rapid, thousands of times faster than ordinary organ failure." We are a biopharmaceutical company and certainly know something about this condition. ”

"Oh." Xu Hewei nodded, and then asked, "Then I don't know if your company has any research results?" Or, does Boss Shen know any special drugs that can cause this condition to happen? Do you think it would be possible to produce this drug if you were asked to produce it? ”

Shen Tuo shook his head: "This is unknown, although our company is currently engaged in biopharmaceutical research, the research field does not actually involve the human body, it is all research on meat livestock and poultry, with the purpose of increasing meat quality and increasing yield and eliminating side effects." What's more, death from brain failure is a rare case, and if you want to get relevant information, you need to get the patient's data, which is ...... Hehe, we can't get it with a small company like ours. ”

Xu Hewei said with a smile: "Boss Shen said that it was a joke, Dongwan Biopharmaceutical can be regarded as the leading biopharmaceutical company in Dongyun, can't you get some information?" ”

But they didn't expect that Shen Tuo actually said what the two sides wanted to test first: "Our East Bay Company, although it is second to none, has only been established for three years, mainly because it has not seized production space in Dongyun, so everyone gives face." As for the real core things, newcomers like us can't get them, and they are all in the hands of local consortia. ”

Xu Hewei and An Xiaoyu glanced at each other and asked, "Isn't Boss Shen actually from the Dongyun Consortium?" ”

"It depends on what the two of you think, if you say that I am a member of the Shinonome Foundation, it is actually fine. After all, my company was established in Dongyun, and it is also appreciated by the extraordinarily big guys, so I naturally have to be respectful to them. But if it really involves the inner circle, then I'm an outsider. ”

Xu Hewei and An Xiaoyu sneered in their hearts, they had already seen that this Shen Tuo was here to provoke them, and it was the person sent by the consortium to disgust them. The Shinonome consortium must have known about their investigation, but they were not afraid at all.

For the next conversation, An Xiaoyu was no longer interested. Shen Tuo obviously didn't know how to say a useful word, but Xu Hewei was still in the process of testing, hoping that this person would not be tight enough to leak something, so he chatted with him a few more words.

When he left Dongwanwan, Xu Hewei was still frowning, and when An Xiaoyu saw his appearance, he knew that this person was not happy, so after getting into the car, he laughed secretly and said, "You already knew that this would be the result, why do you want to do it now?" ”

Xu Hewei smiled and said: "Indeed, I have long known that this is the result, and this time I came to the East China Sea to play just to confirm the thoughts in my heart, and at the same time give them a reply to their declaration of war and provocation, but I didn't expect the other party to be so powerful." ”

"It's really powerful, a little person who has been out for three years is so hard to bite, I'm afraid this time you are going to fight a protracted war." An Xiaoyu said indifferently, as if this incident had nothing to do with her.

Xu Hewei didn't care about An Xiaoyu's tone, after all, An Xiaoyu was not easy to meddle in this matter, so An Xiaoyu didn't say a word just now. But Xu Hewei's heart was still bitter: "Even if you want to fight a protracted battle, the elixir is bound to spread more and more, and the influence is getting bigger and bigger, there are only those players in the mecha competition, if they die, what face do I have to go back?" ”

An Xiaoyu smiled: "They aren't so stupid, right?" ”

"It's just an analogy." Xu Hewei sighed when he said this: "The mecha competition lasted only a little more than a month, and now a week has passed, and there is such a big thing in their brains, at this critical time, what do they want to do?" ”

After hearing Xu Hewei's words, An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, as if she had grasped something.

Xu Hewei heard that An Xiaoyu didn't answer, turned his head to look, and found that An Xiaoyu was tilting his head and looking out the window, as if thinking about something, so he asked, "What are you thinking?" So distracted? Do you want to be regent? ”

"Go, go, go! Who would miss him? A piece of wood! An Xiaoyu waved her hand, and then hid her thoughts.

Xu Hewei didn't ask An Xiaoyu what he thought, the two of them returned to the door of the hotel in such a muffled voice, after An Xiaoyu got out of the car, he said hello to Xu Hewei and left directly, seeing Xu Hewei with a wry smile, it seems that this time the matter is indeed only on his own.

After returning to the hotel, An Xiaoyu saw that the room was empty, but she was a little surprised. Since last night, my parents have been saying that they don't plan to go out, but why is there no one in the house now?

went to the bedroom to take a look, and An Xiaoyu didn't find anyone there, so she called Xiao An and asked where they went. As a result, Xiao An told her that they had been taken back by the garrison to assist in the investigation, and Chu Sui was also there.

Xiao An couldn't say clearly on the phone, his parents were being questioned again, An Xiaoyu Chu Sui asked the place, and immediately rushed to the door of the garrison, and after showing his documents, An Xiaoyu smoothly entered the gate of the garrison, and then found Xiao An and Chu Sui who were sitting in the corridor.

Chu Sui greeted her with a smile, and An Xiaoyu was relieved to see that they didn't have anything important, and asked, "What's going on?" Didn't you say you couldn't say it? ”

Xiao Anne didn't speak, and Chu Sui spoke at this time: "Let's talk about it." ”

"It's not that I'm making trouble lately, there have been a lot of sudden deaths from brain failure, all over the country. And I heard you say that it was because of a kind of medicine, which was still secretly sold in various places, and I don't know how they sold it, but several people died on the spot in the hotel, and I also opened a hotel, so I had to guard against it. ”

"Then I had my men send a message to all the rooms telling them that if anyone came to sell some strange medicine, they must not buy it, and immediately called the police. Originally, I was going to prevent it from happening, but I didn't expect them to really come to my hotel to sell it. ”

"Just this morning, I received a call from the security team, saying that someone in my hotel called the police and said that a person came to the upper floor of the hotel to sell, and I don't know how he got to such a high floor.

"And then it became like this."

An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and asked Xiao An: "You bought it?" ”

Xiao An said: "I just want to drag him down, and then wait for the garrison to come, who knows that the garrison will have to call Uncle Chu Sui before arresting people!" ”

Chu Sui became angry all of a sudden: "How many times have I told you, call me brother!" I'm the same as your sister! ”

Xiao An pretended to be aggrieved: "You are young, but you are old!" ”

Chu Sui was furious.

An Xiaoyu looked at the two of them with a sore head, and hurriedly interrupted and said, "Then what?" ”

Xiao An said: "At that time, we had already heard that someone outside was selling some elixir to the room next to it, saying that it was something to strengthen the body and wash the essence and marrow, at that time I thought of Wu Mingzhi and Sha Pang, and then Uncle Chu Sui told us that he wanted to call the police, so I thought about it, let my mother go to the police, and then I pretended to bargain and dragged him down." ”

"Unexpectedly, this person is too cunning, and I can see at once what I want to do. I thought that if he found out, he would definitely run away, so I pretended not to delay at all, and bought a tube after a little bargaining, and at least I didn't startle the snake, and took a sample......"

An Xiaoyu smiled at once: "The hawkers these people are looking for, they are all those who have been crawling at the bottom for many years, you are playing tricks with others, isn't that looking for death?" Fortunately, you didn't do anything misleading, what about Mom and Dad? ”

Chu Sui pointed to a room inside and said, "Record a confession inside." ”

An Xiaoyu nodded, and didn't go in directly, just sat down next to Xiao An. It didn't take long for my parents and grandfather to come out, still smiling. Several members of the garrison saw An Xiaoyu sitting next to An Xiaoan, and came over and said, "You are a family member, right?" ”

An Xiaoyu stood up and said, "Yes, I am a family member." ”

"People can go, it's fine. But I still have to say that next time, even if you want to call the police, don't take such a risk, the other party is an outlaw, and it will not be good if there is an accident. For us, the personal and property safety of citizens is the most important. ”

Chu Sui laughed next to him, and then was glared at by the police.

An Xiaoyu was as kind as a stream, nodded and said: "It will definitely not be next time, we Donghuang people are real, you know." ”

Chu Sui couldn't hold it anymore and twisted his head fiercely.
