A month has passed since Zhang Heng returned from the alien plane.
In this month, Zhang Heng not only cheated nine European and American chaebols with his layout, making a net profit of nine billion US dollars, but also went to Singapore to acquire a small company, and by the way created the first clone Adam.
In the Clone Legion project, he needed an assembly line factory that could produce clones. Unfortunately, the company he acquired could not meet his requirements. For this reason, he sent Li Yiru and Fang Hao to India to look for opportunities.
The situation in China is different. If China's public security is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, making it difficult to launch a human cloning project, then Singapore has no loopholes to exploit. 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 would have more choices, so he set his sights on India, which is rumored to have the most developed IT and generic drug industries.
As we all know, the Indian government’s abandonment of intellectual property protection for pharmaceutical compounds, coupled with its bizarre system, 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 terms of dosage, safety, efficacy, effect, quality and indications, but the average price is only 20% to 40% of that of patented drugs, and the difference in individual varieties is even more than 10 times.
The world's evaluation of Indian generic drugs is: good news for the poor and the mortal enemy of pharmaceutical companies.
In addition to pharmaceuticals, Zhang Heng also valued India's loose social structure. The weakness of the government departments represents the growth of local power. In this magical country, Zhang Heng has a larger stage to display his plans.
For example, if thousands or hundreds of clones are created out of thin air, this will easily attract the attention of government departments in China and Singapore and cannot be hidden. But in India, tens of thousands more people are not a problem at all.
The situation went very smoothly. Not long after Adam was born, Li Yiru also received good news. She successfully found a mid-sized pharmaceutical factory on the outskirts of Mumbai that was on the verge of bankruptcy and purchased it for $200 million.
After learning the news, Zhang Heng asked Thompson to place an order of US$500 million for a medical device factory in Singapore. A large number of medical-related precision instruments were packaged and shipped to the port of Mumbai, and he led Thompson and Adam The four of them boarded a plane to Mumbai.
Of course, due to some well-known reasons, Thompson and others tried their best to pass the Indian flight. In the end, they chose Jet Airways and successfully arrived at Mumbai Airport in five and a half hours.
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in India. If you think the airport is gorgeous because of its name, you would be wrong.
After getting off the plane, Zhang Heng only saw low buildings. The airport buildings were not the shed-type structures that are popular nowadays, but ordinary cement structures, which were not even as good as the slightly better train stations in China.
After several hours of queuing, the five people finally stumbled out of the airport and saw the scene outside the airport.
The square outside the airport is very small, and there is a row of cars lined up in a dark place. Most of them are box cars in the style of the 1980s. If you drive a Chery QQ, it will definitely not be ordinary eye-catching, it will be like a luxury sedan. grade.
Moreover, just across the wall from the international airport is a large, dark slum. The air is filled with the weird smell of curry and feces. This smell makes the three pampered Thompsons frown frequently and almost don't want to stay for a moment.
"BOSS, where are we going now? Do you want me to call a rough truck?" Zhao Qing walked up to Zhang Heng with a wink and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Heng shook his head, "No, we have contacted him 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 as Zhao Qing was making the call, Zhang Heng and his party had already walked out of the small square, but there were still a lot of tricycles blocked outside the square. None of these tricycles even had roofs, and most of them were so worn that they were recycled to the scrap collection station. , Zhang Heng even saw a meter on a tricycle!
After seeing Zhang Heng and others, several Indian Asans driving tricycles immediately surrounded them, greeting them in babbling English with Indian accents, and some even used their dirty hands to grab the bags they were carrying. .
Zhang Heng dodged the opponent calmly, and then saw Fang Haozheng running towards here waving his hand not far away.
"Boss!" Fang Hao shouted while wiping his sweat, and then drove away the group of people surrounding Zhang Heng with an extremely skillful gesture. He personally took the package from Zhang Heng's hand and said, "Boss, follow me. Boss Li and I have prepared a car for you, but it’s too crowded here and the car can’t come in.”
Zhang Heng waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then joked, "You look a lot tanned these days."
Zhang Heng didn't say it was okay, but Fang Hao suddenly had a grimace on his face, "Boss, forget it, you don't know how hot this damn place is, and it's early summer in May, and the highest daytime temperature can reach 30 The temperature is high, sometimes even reaching forty degrees!”
"I'll give you a salary increase when I go back. Now tell me how the situation is?" Zhang Heng automatically blocked the other party's complaints and changed the subject.
"Now," Fang Hao suddenly straightened his face and replied as he walked, "Boss Li has already negotiated the price with the pharmaceutical factory. It is two hundred million US dollars. It is located in the industrial park in the western suburbs of Mumbai, close to the Indian Ocean. There is an independent small The newly purchased instruments can be transported directly from the dock to the pharmaceutical factory without going by land.”
"What about the surrounding environment?"
"The environment is not bad. Although it is an industrial park, there are almost no buildings or factories. The nearest village is ten kilometers away. It can be said to be inaccessible, but because of this, the traffic here is not very good."
"Very good." Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction, "You and Xiaoru did a great job this time."
"Boss, why do we set up the factory in an inaccessible place?" Fang Hao was a little strange and asked subconsciously, but as soon as he asked, he regretted it.
Zhang Heng glanced at Fang Hao calmly. Just when Fang Hao thought 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 about the existence of antifreeze. The full name of antifreeze is "Human Low-temperature Sleep Antifreeze Nanomedicine". Just a few days ago, several people The family has sent Zhang Heng good news via email—the patent application and FDA application for antifreeze in the United States are progressing very smoothly, and some consortiums and venture capital companies are coming like sharks smelling fishy smell. However, after learning that nine major consortiums were behind antifreeze, they had to restrain themselves. However, the US FDA has attached great importance to antifreeze and is preparing to speed up the review and strive to complete the verification within this year.
For this reason, Zhang Heng asked Li Yiru to go to India. Zhang Heng not only wants to settle the site of the human cloning assembly line factory, but also prepares to settle the site of the cryonics center.
Everyone walked out of the airport while talking. Soon, two Mercedes-Benz S400s appeared in front of everyone. Next to the car stood an Indian young man with a shiny head.
"Boss, this is the company car that Boss Li recently bought. The two cars cost a total of 26 million rupees." Fang Hao looked at Zhang Heng anxiously and smiled awkwardly.
"It's nothing. Just buy what you need. The company doesn't lack the money." Zhang Heng nodded calmly. He had always delegated the company's financial power to Li Yiru. As the saying goes, don't be suspicious when you employ people. Since he wants to be the If you throw away the shopkeeper, then you shouldn't care about this detail.
In fact, apart from being nosy, Li Yiru has really good abilities. From finance to company division of labor, from commercial public relations to negotiation, Li Yiru can be said to be a talent among talents. Without Li Yiru, Zhang Heng would never have the leisure he has now.
When Fang Hao saw that Zhang Heng didn't pay attention, he exhaled in relief and pointed at the Indian young man beside him and said, "This is Sanjay Gandhi, the company's newly hired driver. He speaks English. Can I help you if I can help you?" Just tell him in English.”
Zhang Heng took a brief look at the Indian young man and saw that the Indian young man was wearing a dirty cartoon children's clothing, work pants, and a pair of slippers he found somewhere. His hair was shiny with oil. I don't know how many days I haven't washed it.
Zhang Heng secretly rolled his eyes. The salary in the company was definitely not low, but the other party dressed like this. It seemed that the grooming of employees must be regulated in the future, otherwise he would be disgusted to death.
Zhang Heng completely forgot that he was stopped by the hotel because of his disheveled clothes. Then he walked to the first car. Fang Hao opened the car door for Zhang Heng with a hint, and then everyone got into the two cars respectively.
