NO.083 A TRIP TO MUMBAI
It has been a month since Zhang Heng returned from the alien plane. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this month, Zhang Heng not only relied on the layout to pit nine European and American chaebols, netting 9 billion US dollars, but also went to Singapore to acquire a small company, and by the way, he made the first clone Adam.
In the Clone Corps project, he needed an assembly line factory capable of producing clones, but unfortunately, the company he acquired could not meet his requirements. To this end, he sent Li Yiru and Fang Hao to India to look for opportunities.
It is different from the situation in Huaxia, if the security in Huaxia is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it is difficult to carry out the human cloning program, then Singapore can be regarded as having no gaps to drill. The only thing that can be used is sufficient technical environment support and a large number of scientific research institutions.
With Singapore's technological environment, Zhang Heng has more options, so he set his sights on India, where the IT industry and generic drug industry are rumored to be the most developed.
As we all know, because the Indian government has abandoned the intellectual property protection of pharmaceutical compounds, coupled with the strange system, it has provided a breeding ground for a large number of generic drugs in India. Compared with patented drugs, generic drugs are exactly the same in dose, safety, efficacy, effect, quality and indications, but the average price is only 20%~40% of that of patented drugs, and some varieties are even more than 10 times different.
The world's evaluation of Indian generic drugs is: the gospel of the poor, the sworn enemy of pharmaceutical companies.
In addition to pharmaceuticals, Zhang Heng also values India's loose social structure. The weakness of the government department represents the growth of local forces, and in this magical country, Zhang Heng has a bigger stage to show his plans.
For example, there are thousands and hundreds of clones out of thin air, which can easily attract the attention of government departments in China and Singapore, and they cannot be hidden. But in India, tens of thousands more are not a problem at all.
The situation went very smoothly, and not long after Adam was born, Li Yiru also came with good news. She managed to find a mid-sized pharmaceutical factory outside Mumbai that was on the verge of bankruptcy and bought it for $200 million.
After learning the news, Zhang Heng asked Thompson to place an order of 500 million US dollars for the medical device factory in Singapore, and a large number of precision instruments related to medicine were packed and shipped to the port of Mumbai, and he led Thompson and Adam and other four people to board the plane to Mumbai.
Of course, for some well-known reason, the Indian flight was tried to pass by Thompson and others, and in the end they chose Jet Airways, which took five and a half hours to reach Mumbai airport.
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport is India's largest and busiest airport, and it would be a mistake to assume that the airport is flashy.
Zhang Heng, who got off the plane, only saw the low buildings, the airport building is not the popular shed structure now, but an ordinary cement structure building, even the slightly better railway station in Huaxia is not as good.
After hours of queuing, the five finally stumbled out of the airport, and only then did they see the situation outside the airport.
The square outside the airport is very narrow, and there is a row of cars in the black, most of which are the kind of square cars in the style of the eighties.
Moreover, across the wall from the international airport is a large slum of black pressure, and the air is filled with the strange smell of curry and feces, which makes the pampered Thompson frown frequently, and almost do not want to stay for a moment.
"Boss, where are we going now? Do you want me to call a rough car? Zhao Qing walked up to Zhang Heng with a very eye-catching look and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Heng shook his head, "No, we have already contacted us before, Fang Hao will come here to pick us up, you can call him again." ”
"Okay." Zhao Qing nodded and dialed the phone again.
Just when Zhao Qing called, Zhang Heng and his party had already walked out of the small square, but there were still blocked tricycles outside the square, and these tricycles did not even have a roof, and most of them were dilapidated to the point of recycling to the scrap acquisition station, and even Zhang Heng saw a meter on a tricycle!
After seeing Zhang Heng and the others, several Indian Ah San who drove tricycles immediately surrounded them, greeting them in English with an Indian accent, and some of them even directly used their dirty hands to pull the bags that everyone was carrying.
Zhang Heng quietly dodged the other party, and then saw that Fang Hao was running towards here while waving his hand.
"Boss!" Fang Hao shouted while wiping his sweat, and then drove away the group of people surrounding Zhang Heng in an extremely skilled manner, and personally took the package in Zhang Heng's hand and said, "Boss, come with me, Boss Li and I have already prepared a car for you, but it is too crowded here for the car to drive in." ”
Zhang Heng waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, and then joked, "You look a lot tanned these days." ”
Zhang Heng didn't say that it was okay, as soon as he said it, Fang Hao suddenly had a bitter face, "Boss, don't mention it, you don't know how hot this ghost place is, and it's early summer now, and the maximum temperature during the day can reach more than 30 degrees, and sometimes even 40 degrees!" ”
"I'll go back and give you a raise, now tell me how the situation is?" Zhang Heng automatically blocked the other party's complaints and changed the topic.
"Now," Fang Hao's face suddenly turned straight, and he replied as he walked, "Boss Li has already negotiated a price with that pharmaceutical factory, 200 million US dollars, located in the western suburban industrial park of Mumbai, close to the Indian Ocean, with an independent small wharf, and the newly purchased instruments can be transported directly from the wharf to the pharmaceutical factory, without having to go by land." ”
"What about the surroundings?"
"The environment is okay, although it is said to be an industrial park, there are almost no buildings and factories to be found, and the nearest village is also ten kilometers away, which can be said to be inaccessible, but because of this, the traffic here is not very good."
"Good." Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction, "You and Xiaoru have done a good job this time." ”
"Boss, why do we have to set up the factory in a place where people don't get there?" Fang Hao was a little strange and asked subconsciously, but as soon as he finished asking, he regretted it in his heart.
Zhang Heng glanced at Fang Hao quietly, and just when Fang Hao thought that Zhang Heng would not answer, Zhang Heng spoke, "Because, I want to set up a cryonics center here." ”
Several people around Zhang Heng are already considered core members of the company, so he also informed everyone of the existence of anti-refrigerants, the full name of anti-refrigerants is "human hypothermic anti-freezing nano-agent", just a few days ago, several families have passed on a good news to Zhang Heng by email - the patent application and FDA application of anti-refrigerant in the United States are progressing very smoothly, and some consortia and venture capital companies have come like sharks smelling fishy, but after learning that there are nine major consortia standing behind anti-refrigerants, This has to be restricted, but the US FDA has attached great importance to the fight against refrigerants, and is ready to accelerate the review and strive to complete the verification within this year.
For this reason, there is the matter of Zhang Heng letting Li Yiru go to India. Zhang Heng not only has to solve the site of the cloning assembly line factory, but also prepares to solve the site of the cryonics center.
Everyone walked out of the airport while talking, and soon, two Mercedes-Benz S400s appeared in front of everyone, and a young Indian with oily hair stood next to the car.
"Boss, this is the company car that Boss Li recently bought, and the two cars are worth a total of 26 million rupees." Fang Hao looked at Zhang Heng worriedly and smiled a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing, just buy what you should buy, and the company doesn't lack this money." Zhang Heng nodded calmly, he has always delegated the company's financial power to Li Yiru, as the saying goes, there is no doubt about employing people, and since he wants to be the shopkeeper, then he shouldn't care about this detail.
In fact, in addition to liking to meddle in things, Li Yiru's ability is really good. From finance to the division of labor in the company, from business public relations to negotiation, Li Yiru can be said to be a talent among talents, if there is no Li Yiru, Zhang Heng will never have the current leisure.
Fang Hao saw that Zhang Heng didn't care, so he exhaled relaxedly, and pointed to the Indian youth on the side, "This is Sanjay Gandhi, the company's newly hired driver, who can speak English, if you have anything to tell him in English." ”
Zhang Heng glanced at the Indian young man slightly, and saw that the Indian young man was wearing a dirty cartoon children's clothes, worker pants, and a pair of slippers that he didn't know where to pick up, and his hair was shiny, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't washed it.
Zhang Heng secretly rolled his eyes, the salary in the company is definitely not low, but the other party is dressed like this, it seems that the appearance of employees must be regulated in the future, otherwise he will not be disgusted to death.
Zhang Heng completely forgot that he was stopped by the hotel because he was disheveled, and then walked to the first car, Fang Hao opened the door for Zhang Heng with a very good eye, and then everyone got into the two cars respectively.
