Chapter Seventy-One: Patna
Patna, located on the south bank of the Ganges River in eastern Bihar, is the capital of Bihar, with a history of more than 2,500 years, once used as the capital of the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC, it is a city that was economically and religiously prosperous in the past, known as the land of saints. Speaking of Bihar, with a population of more than 90 million, it has the most fertile land in India, abundant rainfall, and a pleasant climate, making it a very suitable area for people to live in. The 2007 Indian financial report pointed out that Bihar's GDP was 23.6 billion US dollars, and the local per capita income was only 148 US dollars, which shows the poverty level of the local people. Political axe [***], medical facilities are scarce, and there are many poor people, this is the situation in Bihar.
The three of them walked out of Patna's airport, their faces were not good-looking, especially Shen Lingwei, who almost didn't vomit out with a constipated expression. When the plane arrived at the runway of the airport just now, the plane suddenly fell sharply, almost not scaring the passengers on the plane to death, and after the pit was crooked and finally stopped, all the passengers on the plane except for the Indians were in a cold sweat.
"It's okay, boss, that's how it is with airlines in India."
Zhang Chengchu sorted out his tie and forced himself to laugh: "Especially Airindia, the model is relatively old, don't take this company's flight next time." ”
"Hey, forget it, have you booked a hotel here?"
"It's already booked, boss, do you need to go to the company first?" Zhang Chengchu asked.
"Okay, let's go to the company first."
The three of them talked and walked, there were many motorized tuk-tuks outside the airport, Zhang Chengchu stepped forward to talk with an Indian for a while, and after finalizing the price, the three of them got into the car. The city of Patna is very similar to the county town in the western part of the country, with mostly two- and three-story houses, and the streets are full of people, motorcycles, bicycles, tuk-tuks, and human-powered tricycles, all crowded together, and there seems to be no such thing as a traffic rule, and the drivers compare who is in front. Luo Xu looked at it all the way, and saw at least four or five cars that didn't care about the vehicles behind them at all, changing lanes when they wanted to change lanes, and turning when they wanted to turn, which made Luo Xu pinch a cold sweat for him. Miraculously, even so, there was no car accident, and I have to say that others dare to do this.
The tuk-tuk turned east and west, and finally drove into another urban area, and the environment suddenly became a lot better, just like the houses in the seventies in China suddenly evolved to the situation of the early two thousand years, at least Luo Xu could see a few clean and newly built buildings. Finally, the car stopped at the location of a five-story building, Luo Xu breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the car driven by the Indian, I don't know why he was always worried about his surname, and now he feels really good on the ground.
"Boss, it's on the second floor." Zhang Chengchu led the way.
Luo Xu nodded, the first floor of this building was a small convenience store, a large group of Indians came and went, and some were bored and squatted on the ground, watching them whisper curiously. Ignoring the unemployed Indians, the three of them walked up the corridor to the second floor.
Well, Luo Xu admits that the neat and modern office in his impression will not exist here, the second floor is a mess, full of clutter and garbage, and he doesn't even know how to let Luo Xu get his feet. There are still a few people who are busy working, and it is estimated that they are the people recruited by Luo Xu online.
Luo Xu squinted at Shen Lingwei, "This is where you are looking?" ”
"Ah, boss, this place is already good, and the rest of the places are not only poor, but also very rental." Shen Lingwei hurriedly explained, he is also suffering in his heart, think about an ordinary Chinese suddenly came to such a remote and remote place in India, without chrysanthemums, even if he is very capable, what else do you want? You must know that at the beginning, I was not familiar with life, and I couldn't understand what others were saying, but fortunately, I cleverly invited a local translator later, otherwise I didn't know that I was cheated a lot by this group of Ah San.
Luo Xu sighed and patted Shen Lingwei on the shoulder, he can't be too demanding of this guy, this guy has been in the society for a long time and is a good person, but after all, his education is not high, and it is already great to come to a strange place without being "that", to be content, to take his time.
A few people who were busy cleaning inside also saw the three people standing outside, Luo Xu They didn't know each other, but Shen Lingwei and Zhang Chengchu knew each other, and immediately guessed that Luo Xu among the two was their boss. Immediately put down the broom mop and walked to Luo Xu to say hello.
"You are Mr. Liu Er, I heard that you have been living in India for ten years, and you will need more guidance and guidance on the company's affairs in the future."
Liu Er in Luo Xu's mouth is 34 years old, graduated from the Department of Financial Management of Delhi University, and is a middle-aged man with a very kind face. Standing beside him was a man with glasses in his 30s, with an indifferent expression who didn't seem to care about anything, but this inconspicuous man with glasses had worked in a number of Indian medical research centers and was a rare biopharmaceutical talent.
The last two people, one named Wang Weiru, 28 years old, graduated from Jawaharlal Nehru University, worked at Laborate, is familiar with the FDA review process, and is an indispensable talent elite for pharmaceutical companies. Another young man, Tang Xiaoqiang, 27, has been working in Bangalore for several years and is a computer talent.
The four recruited talents have all worked in India for more than two years, and they know that it is not easy to work in foreign countries, and there is no pretension of so many senior elites, and they don't feel embarrassed to pick up a broom and clean it themselves, but let Luo Xu nod. Now that they have met, Luo Xu simply took everyone to dinner together, this ancient and remote city obviously does not have such a thing as a Chinese restaurant, and everyone looked for a long time before they found a restaurant that looked good in terms of hygiene, a Western restaurant opened by an Englishman. It's good to eat in a distant country, no one is picky, and everyone orders a big meal.
After eating for a while, Luo Xu made public what he had said to Zhang Chengchu before, and everyone was taken aback. Liu Er hesitated, but said calmly: "Mr. Luo, take the liberty of it, I don't know what kind of work you did in the United States before?" ”
As soon as this question came out, everyone's ears were pricked up, and everyone was very curious about Luo Xu, the young boss, and they also knew a little about the situation in the United States, and they couldn't figure out that Luo Xu was so young and rich but silent. You must know that the acquisition of a pharmaceutical factory and laboratory costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and 99% of the world's people can't earn such a large amount of money in a lifetime, let alone Luo Xu is so young. Therefore, several people present have different guesses in their hearts, some guess that it is the rich second generation, and some guess that it represents a certain company, and even the idea of inheriting the inheritance has emerged, of course, there is also the speculation that it is not a shell company.
Shen Lingwei sat on the side and looked at everyone's expressions, and sneered a few times, how do these ignorant people know the horror of the boss, if they think that the boss is young and easy to bully, then this person doesn't know how to die.
"Well, I used to work in some precision electronics industries in the United States, and then I made a little money, and when I saw that the pharmaceutical industry was making so much money, I came here to try it." Luo Xu took a sip of hot water and said calmly.
Everyone glanced at each other, and they didn't agree with Luo Xu's words, they always felt very weird, and they couldn't believe it, this industry is too big, right? From the electronics industry to the biopharmaceutical industry, any normal person is afraid that they will not choose to do so, and it is most likely that they will lose nothing if they easily get involved in an unfamiliar industry.
"I know, you may have some doubts about the company, I have also talked to Cheng Chu before, you don't have to worry about the company's financial problems, I will provide you with this financial information, to ensure that there are no problems, please rest assured!"
Luo Xu said solemnly: "The company is creating, facing many difficulties, especially in this unfamiliar place, but also rely on your support, I have always believed that a person's career can not develop, only as everyone's career, in order to better develop, so, I hope you can take this career as your own career, work together, work together!" ”
Chinese has his own way Chinese of eating, and he doesn't care that this is a Western restaurant, pick up the red wine glass and everyone toast, the atmosphere is much better than just now.
"I hope that the negotiation with Vivek can be concluded as soon as possible, and the price will be negotiable, but we must hurry up with the time. In addition, Mr. Liu, you are also worried about the political axe documents related to the pharmaceutical factory. ”
When encountering a boss like Luo Xu who does not play cards according to common sense, although everyone feels weird, but who calls others the boss They are subordinates, what is the boss, that is, the boss who is only responsible for pointing out the direction and arranging things, the subordinates only need to obey the boss's orders, and if you really take the kind words said by the boss seriously, then you are a fool.
After eating, it was time to go to the company to continue to go to the company, Shen Lingwei took Luo Xu to the hotel room rented locally. The hotels here are not as good as New Delhi, they are said to be three-star hotels, but Luo Xu thinks that even the domestic two-star hotels are not as good as the appearance? Walking into the guest room, a bed is still tidy, but the TV is obviously damaged, and the water sprayed from the faucet in the bathroom, a strange smell lingers, Luo Xu guesses, the water in the water pipe will not be pumped directly from the river by the hotel, right? This may be a big surname, so Luo Xu didn't dare to wash his face directly with the water sprayed out of the faucet. The Chinese claim to be "invincible", compared with the Indians, they are still a small thing, and the locals dare to bathe in the river water full of garbage, sewage, and excrement, do the Chinese dare to do this?
Closed the door, used the instrument to test the environment of the room, and found that there was no monitoring equipment, Luo Xu turned on the light film and returned to the base to sleep, he didn't want to fall asleep in this environment, the ghost knows how long the sheets here have not been washed.
