In the 1980s and 1990s, it was the most glorious era of Heung Kong.
At this time, the total GDP of a small Xiangjiang is equivalent to 20% of the entire Chinese mainland.
At this time, the richest man in Asia was only just beginning to show his edge. The boat king Bao's family, the sand king Huo's family, and the generation known as "legends" thirty years later were still in their prime.
The most important thing is that Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, the world's top pharmaceutical companies all have offices in Hong Kong, which takes one or two months to send a letter to the mainland. Speaking of which, Xiangjiang is really convenient.
It's just that Xiangjiang in 1982 is still under the control of the British Empire, and it is almost impossible for a minor without a guardian to get a pass to Hong Kong. What's more, even if you are in Xiangjiang, you have to start all over again if you are not familiar with the place of life, which is not an easy thing.
"What do you think about so much as a child? You, as long as you study hard. After you go to college, you will have nothing to worry about!" Zhou Sitian poked her brother's head, and then patted the back seat of the car, " Come up, no one is there now, no one will laugh at you."
Li Zheng was dumbfounded. It turned out that she felt that she was not in the back seat of the car because she was afraid of being seen by her classmates. He... He can't overcome his shame!
Resigned and sat up, Dongliu Town was five or six kilometers away from Qinghe Town, so I couldn't really walk back.
Passing through an alley, the sister and brother saw a man standing in front of the house from a distance, with his head bowed and a cigarette in his mouth.
Li Zheng got out of the car and glanced around the person. Seven or eight cigarette butts were scattered on the ground. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Uncle Zhang?" Zhou Sitian called out hesitantly.
Zhang Bingkun raised his head abruptly, and when he saw Li Zheng and Zhou Sitian, he threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it.
"Sweet girl, Xiao Zheng..." He opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say. His eyes were a little red, and there were many red blood streaks in them, and his beard had not been shaved for several days, and his mouth was full of fine stubble.
"Uncle Zhang, go and sit at home." Zhou Sitian said as she stepped forward to open the door.
"No... No." Zhang Bingkun shook his head, "I came to see Brother Li. Take me to see him." His voice contained sadness.
Li Zheng bowed his head like an ostrich. The last thing he wanted right now was to meet the acquaintance of the original owner, especially this kind of person who could not easily be fooled. But Zhou Sitian obviously did not receive his signal.
"Xiao Zheng, go with Uncle Zhang, and I'll prepare dinner." Zhou Sitian didn't wait for Li Zheng to object, and turned around and entered the house.
Li Zheng…
Li Zheng kept his composure, raised his head and showed a polite smile to Zhang Bingkun, "Uncle Zhang, let's go."
Zhang Bingkun nodded, and the two walked towards the Qinghe Town cemetery in silence.
Because not long after the burial, there were still flowers and wine glasses in front of Li's tomb, but the flowers had already withered, and the wine in the wine glasses had evaporated to dryness.
"Plop," the moment he saw the tombstone, Zhang Bingkun knelt heavily on the ground without waiting for Li Zheng to speak, his knees collided with the slate, making a clear collision sound.
"Brother Li, I'm sorry for you..."
It turns out that Zhang Bingkun and Li's father have a deep relationship. Zhang Bingkun ran the black boat, and he took the line of Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and Xiangjiang. The boat jumped into the sea, and it was Li's father who rescued him. In order to help him, Li’s father misappropriated the materials of the production team. Although it was only about two bundles of gauze, Yang Sheng was caught by this and resigned as the captain of the production team.
"I don't know, I really don't know that my sister-in-law is also on the boat, otherwise I won't be able to drive that boat." Ironically, Li's father rescued Zhang Bingkun, but Li's mother left with Zhang Bingkun's boat. Qinghe Town, went to Xiangjiang.
After knowing this, Zhang Bingkun never went to Li's house again until he heard the news of Li's father's death.
"Uncle Zhang, my condolences." From Zhou Sitian's mouth, it can be heard that Li's mother is not a person who is content with firewood, rice, oil and salt. She and Li's father have no common language. Her departure is a matter of time.
Zhang Bingkun didn't go to Li's house for dinner after worshipping Li's father. He stuffed Li Zheng with a large sum of money. Li Zheng counted three or four thousand.
Li Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. Now the route and toll are all in place. Could it be that God is also hinting at him? Squeeze this ridiculous idea down. Zhou Sitian is already in her third year of high school, her grades are very good, she can't be so selfish.
Even so, the idea of going to Xiangjiang has already been planted in Li Zheng's heart, and it will take root and sprout as soon as the time is ripe.
On this day, it happened to be the weekend. Last night, Li Zheng stayed up late to write a paper on "The Catalyst for the Manufacture of Dannottin Drugs". But Nordin is a routine drug for blood pressure control in the world today. Its annual sales are nearly 5 billion US dollars in Europe and North America, and the supply is in short supply.
What restricts its supply is the lack of production capacity, but the main component of Nordin is a compound crystal extracted from animal liver. Usually, only dozens of grams of crystals can be extracted from dozens of kilograms of animal liver, and the conversion rate is extremely low.
The catalyst mentioned in Li Zheng's paper can increase the extraction rate of crystals in animal liver by 30%-50%, that is to say, under the same raw materials and the same production conditions, after using the catalyst, the output of Nuoding A 30%-50% increase in sales translates to nearly $2 billion in sales, which is enough to drive any pharmaceutical giant crazy.
After Li Zheng finished writing, he carefully folded the letter, put it in the envelope, affixed the stamp, and pressed it under the pillow. This was his original capital.
However, his dream of sleeping for a day was soon shattered.
Li Chaoyang's whirring sounded outside the door, and after a while, Li Zheng only felt a pair of cold hands reach into his bed.
Li Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hi, Li Zheng, good morning." Li Chaoyang smiled innocently.
Good... good sister! Experimental dogs are also temperamental!
After getting up, brushing his teeth, and washing his face, Li Zheng's body was filled with low air pressure, while Li Chaoyang seemed to be unaware.
High official, where is the high official, even if there is really a high official to take care of him. In his last life, when he gave up his job at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and returned to China, the Prime Minister of the State Council even met him in person and praised him as a pillar of his country!
When they were dragged to the auditorium, it was already full of people. The townspeople stood on their feet and stretched their necks to look around. Many women were still holding babies who had not been born for a few months. The cries of the babies were heard throughout. The auditorium reverberated.
"What are you doing with your baby in this environment?" Li Zheng said with a frown. The more people there are, the more bacteria there are. This is very dangerous for a child with weak immunity just a few months after birth.
"It's not that I want to touch Xie Wenjie's literary spirit. It was the best among the first batch of college students in Qinghe Town. Now I am in the Huajing Health Department. This time I am accompanying the senior leaders to discuss a project. It's done, and our entire Qinghe Town can be like Huaying Town, where everyone lives in a building!" Li Chaoyang said dancingly.
Ministry of Health? project? A thought quickly flashed through Li Zheng's mind, and his eyes flashed. Is it what he guessed... I'll know soon.
The big gong sounded "dong dong dong", and the county and town leaders came to the stage one by one. Among the group of gray-haired old people, a tall and tall young man was particularly eye-catching. Before Li Zheng could think about who this person was, the excited Li Chaoyang was shocked. The answer has already been given.
"Xie Wenjie, it's Xie Wenjie!" That fanatical appearance was similar to the appearance of the little girls in later generations when they saw their idols.
On the stage of the auditorium, the county leaders clapped their horns and began to speak.
"Folks, I'm inviting you here today to tell you two good news. First, we are back with Xie Chu, who went out from Qinghe Town and now works in the Huajing Health Department. It is our Qinghe Town. How proud of you! Second, we have brought a big project to our hometown! The investment of a large foreign company, screw, is called screw, right? Although the name of this company is a bit strange! But he is indeed a big company If this project is successful, the economy of our Qinghe Town will be improved to a higher level!”
There was warm applause in the auditorium.
"Screw... The names of big foreign companies are so weird?" Li Chaoyang whispered.
Li Zheng's mouth twitched. The screw was Roche, a Swiss pharmaceutical company. It has always been ranked in the top ten in the global pharmaceutical company ranking. A few years before his sudden death in his last life, Roche also squeezed in because of its advantages in cancer drugs. The top three pharmaceutical companies in the world.
Coincidentally, it was Roche who worked closely with Li Zheng in his last life. He remembered... His partner, David Andorio, the future executive vice president of Roche Asia, seemed to be in Xiangjiang, and he lived through his mouth. The so-called darkest "life in exile" in my life.
"Hello folks, I'm very happy to be back in Qinghe Town again. Roche is the largest pharmaceutical company in Switzerland and one of the largest in the world. It is one of the world's top 500 pharmaceutical companies. Roche's visit to Yantian County is to find a suitable pharmaceutical company. This is one of the most important projects of the Ministry of Health this year. It is also a great opportunity for the entire Yantian County. As a native of Qinghe Town, of course I hope that Qinghe Town can be selected. But this is inseparable from Kai folks help…”
Li Zheng stopped listening to what Xie Wenjie said later. He searched in his mind, he did not remember that later Roche had a pharmaceutical factory in Shenzhen. Either it was closed, or the project was not successful at all, Li Zheng felt that most of them were probably the latter.
