A few days later, Loch not only visited the local tourist attractions in Patna, but also met with Vivek's negotiators a few times, and the two sides discussed the acquisition in detail, and finally both parties were satisfied with the price of about 145 million US dollars. Of course, no matter how beautiful the information is, it is better to visit it with your own eyes, in order not to be pitted by these Indians, Luo Xu and others are ready to visit the pharmaceutical factory in person.

Omkar Goswami was the person who accompanied them to the Vivek company this time, and since getting into the car, the Indian man in the suit had not stopped talking, chattering about how strong their Vivek company was, at first Luo Xu listened politely, and then he was really a little impatient, and coughed a few times to signal the guy to shut up. But apparently, Goswami didn't understand what Losh meant, and was still babbling about his unique Indian English, speaking so fast that several people in the car were dumbfounded, completely unaware of what the guy was talking about.

The car drove out of Patna, and from time to time several Honda, Volkswagen, and Mercedes staggered by, which made Luo Xu sigh that India's intercity road traffic was okay, but it was only ten minutes before he realized that this was a wrong idea. The Mercedes was still driving at a rapid pace, when suddenly some slow one-legged sliding cars came on, and the car had to slow down quickly. When the scooter drove over, the car had not yet run a kilometer, and a large number of bicycles and camel-pulled cars were whirring, and the kind of small buses full of people inside and out also came to join in the fun, and Luo Xu's eyelids jumped.

The Mercedes-Benz had to slow down, stop and walk, and encountered farmers driving their sheep on the road, and the car had no choice but to stop completely. There are countless disturbances along the way, Luo Xu looked at the time, and he didn't know if he had run twenty kilometers in an hour and a half, and driving here really made the driver and passengers collapse. Goswami didn't feel impatient, he opened his mouth, blew up the greatness of India in super-fast Indian English, and from time to time added his own original grammar and words, and felt so proud of it that Losh felt the urge to pull out and shoot him.

After seven or eight minutes of waiting for the peasants to drive the sheep away, and the car finally got back on the road, Luo Xu turned his head to look out the window, ignoring Goswami's nonsense, and focused on the scenery outside. There are many glittering billboards on both sides of the road, and all kinds of advertisements for mobile phones, Apple computers, fake villas, etc., show signs of civilization, but behind the advertisements and in the distance, there is an endless scene of rural India, with fields full of rice fields, wheat fields and oil crops, and farmers in tattered clothes leading their ploughing cattle past, in stark contrast to the glittering billboards on their heads.

This is a thriving country, but behind the modern and thriving service industry, there are many problems that need to be solved in India, which is a country with extensive and backward agriculture and poor people.

Luo Xu pondered for a while, began to close his eyes and rest, twenty minutes later, there were scattered factories along the way, including automobile factories, washing machine assembly plants, chemical plants, etc., after passing these factories, the car drove for another ten minutes, and finally arrived at the destination this time.

Vivek is one of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in India, and it is true that it should not be underestimated in terms of strength, and despite a series of setbacks now, the glory of the former is undeniable from the perspective of Patna's branch. Before he entered the pharmaceutical factory, Luo Xu saw several beautiful buildings with seven or eight floors towering high, as well as a concentrated research center in the distance.

"Mr. Branston (Luo Xu's English name), you can see that our factory here is newly built, and all kinds of equipment and things have been newly purchased, so you don't have to worry about this!" Goswami patted his chest in reassurance.

"It's not very easy to get around, Mr. Goswami." Zhang Chengchu shook his head and said.

"Haha, Zhang, you don't have to worry about this, there is a train station twenty minutes away by car, where you can centrally transport goods."

As he spoke, the car drove into the pharmaceutical factory, and Indian employees who came and went walked by in blue clothes, looking at the people who got off the car more or less curiously.

At that moment, a sweaty Indian in a suit, about forty years old, trotted over and bowed to Goswami in apology. Goswami didn't care, and waved his hand to signal him to lead the group around the pharmaceutical factory's production hall.

Everyone changed into dustproof clothes and followed the person in charge into the production workshop, Wang Weiru nodded to Luo Xu along the way, indicating that the workshop layout design was qualified. The person in charge of the English is not bad, led everyone to the entrance of the workshop, and showed everyone the general layout of the factory, the way and characteristics of the pipeline laying, after understanding these situations, everyone began to visit the pharmaceutical production equipment one by one.

First of all, the powder pharmaceutical preparation equipment, hammer mill, universal pulverizer, ball mill, trough mixer, V-type mixer, swing granulator, etc., the equipment is very bright, after the wind kept checking with Wang Weiru, nodded that it was indeed new equipment, which Goswami did not lie.

Immediately afterwards, he visited the tablet machinery, the process of automatic capsule filling machine, the production of sterilization preparations and other equipment, which made Luo Xu very satisfied, and even the person in charge took them to the sewage treatment station to take a look.

It's just that when I arrived at the packaging line, I could see a few young Indians laughing and playing there, without the slightest sign of serious work, the person in charge, Sujit Bala's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to reprimand the young people, but his prestige seemed to be small, and the young people looked back at the crowd, so they were lazy and unwilling to work again, but the action behavior, where was the work, was completely perfunctory.

Luo Xu and the others looked very bad-looking, Goswami's face was even more ugly, and he wanted to persuade Mr. Branston to take over the employees of the factory, and he also talked about the diligence of many Indian employees along the way, but now the behavior of these employees slapped him in the face, making him embarrassed to say the reasons for his next persuasion.

The class division of Indians is more severe than in the book, the high caste has an irresistible power against the low caste, and the high position has an irresistible power against the low position, Goswami called Bala over and severely reprimanded him, and Bara did not dare to speak up in a cold sweat. Finally, after Goswami finished reprimanding, he explained in a low voice: "Those people are relatives of the village elders in the nearby village of Brentaire. ”

"Brentaire Village?" Goswami let out an "oh" and had an ugly expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xu turned around and asked.

"Nothing, nothing, Mr. Branston, let's go see the Drug Research Center now." Goswami laughed, but his swarthy skin made his smile anything but pretty.

"This way!" Barra hurriedly walked ahead and led the way.

Taking off the dust suits, everyone walked between the pharmaceutical factory buildings, where all the facilities were on par with the international level, but the greenery was not in place, or the Indians did not care much about this, all in all, the greening made Luo Xu a little dissatisfied. But these are all minor problems, and after taking over, he can plan it all over again, so he didn't say much.

Although the research center here is close to the pharmaceutical factory, it is actually seven or eight hundred meters away, and several three- and four-story buildings are planned together, and researchers come and go from time to time, so it seems that this is the drug research center. Putting on the dust suit again and walking in, Barra proudly introduced the equipment inside, nuclear magnetic resonance pop instrument, high performance liquid chromatograph, flow cytometer, meteorological chromatography, atomic absorption spectrophotometer and other equipment are all new purchases, the wind has not stopped all the way The indifferent expression finally melted slightly, and it seems that he is more satisfied with the equipment here.

"Here in our research center, there is also a very complete biological laboratory, with a total of 135 researchers, all of whom are very outstanding biopharmaceutical research talents." Barra shows off the facilities at the research center.

In fact, watching it now, Luo Xu also understands that compared to those pharmaceutical companies, this is just a medium-sized pharmaceutical factory, and even for those giant pharmaceutical companies, it can only be regarded as a small pharmaceutical factory. The world's top super multinational pharmaceutical companies, which company has more than 10,000 researchers and cooperative and subordinate pharmaceutical factories all over the world, and the cost of each new drug developed is more than 500 million or 600 million US dollars, which is enough to buy several such pharmaceutical factories. It is estimated that in Goswami's eyes, Luo Xu is just a rich Chinese American who has taken a fancy to the huge profits of India's one-third of the world's pharmaceutical industry, and has come to India to play a "game".

But it doesn't matter, as long as there is money, Goswami doesn't care what he comes to do, he even gloates a little, there are thousands of pharmaceutical companies in India, an outsider, no local resources and connections, and he doesn't know how to buy the next pharmaceutical factory, thinking that he can make money in this way, in fact, it represents a failure. Here in India, not Europe and the United States.

No matter what Goswami thinks, Luo Xu doesn't care about this, his main purpose in buying a pharmaceutical factory and research center is not to make huge profits, but to use it as a cover. If he really wants to make money, as long as he gets a few new drugs and new antibiotics from Base 17, he just needs to sit and wait to collect the money, but that is very troublesome, the time cycle is too long, and it is easy to attract the attention of others, so Luo Xu is also hesitant to come up with new drugs.

Eventually, he thought about it and decided to take only the less noticeable drugs, such as an ultra-long-acting basal insulin analogue that lasted more than 52 hours, which was a long-obsolete drug in the future of another parallel world, but in this world, it was a good treatment for diabetes. I believe that many diabetics will also buy it for the sake of taking drugs regularly, and once they pass the FDA review and advance to the U.S. market, they can also make a lot of money. In this way, the company's regular expenses and maintenance are solved, and secondly, it is also a cover for the next plan.
