Writing in the Republic of China (17)

Ji Changze's pharmaceutical factory is recruiting smoothly. In addition to medical students, there are even several well-known doctors applying. Of course, they are obviously here for Mr. Yuanwang.

In the novel, Mr. Yuanwang is not shy about sharing medical knowledge with others, and he also has almost comprehensive knowledge that many doctors do not know. These make some doctors think that Mr. Yuanwang must have a family background, and if they can do things for him , maybe you can learn a lot.

Ji Changze naturally knew what their intentions were, and he didn't mind this either.

Once you come, stay and be used by him, there is no need to leave.

He secretly began to improve the treatment of these doctors in all aspects. The pharmaceutical factory did not explicitly say "you are all talents and we need you", but everything he did made it difficult for these doctors to see Mr. Yuanwang. The doctor who was about to retreat hesitated.

This is the case for Dr. Li who lives on West Street.

His family had been practicing medicine since his great-grandfather's generation. Over the years, although the family was not rich, they still left a small clinic for him.

With the recent impact of Western medicine, doctors of traditional Chinese medicine are not as popular as they used to be. However, with his reputation over the years, Dr. Li is not hungry, and he is living a pretty good life relying on the medical skills he inherited from his family.

He is not the type to rest on his laurels. Ever since he read Mr. Yuanwang's novel and learned a lot of knowledge that his own father and grandfather didn't know, he started to think of learning from his master.

Since Mr. Yuanwang is willing to write out this knowledge in a novel for the public to see, he is naturally an open-minded person. If he is sincere, maybe he will accept him.

This is what Dr. Li thought before applying for the job.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect to find out until I entered the pharmaceutical factory that Mr. Yuanwang opened this pharmaceutical factory in cooperation with the shareholders of the newspaper. All matters were arranged by the Ji family. Mr. Yuanwang himself did not show up at all.

The next day he regretted joining the newspaper office and told his wife that he wanted to leave.

His wife advised him to leave if he wanted to, no matter what.

Dr. Li said: "When I first went there, the pharmaceutical factory asked me to sign a one-month short-term contract, saying that even if I wanted to leave, I had to wait until one month later, otherwise I would lose money."

"Where is this kind of thing? If things are not done based on your own free will, how can you force people to stay?" Dr. Li's wife felt very sorry for her husband.

Dr. Li is in a good mood: "It's only for one month. I'll just leave after one month."

The next day, he went to work according to the working hours of the pharmaceutical factory.

Under the careful guidance of instructors, you will begin to become familiar with the equipment and procedures.

During lunch, these technicians were alone in the small canteen. Everyone was served the standard three dishes and one soup, two meat and one vegetarian, and each of them was given a large chicken drumstick.

They were treated so well even in their own home. Not to mention two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish. It was good to have two vegetarian dishes. Everyone was so shiny after this meal. I thought it was just the first day at work. The food was better. In the afternoon, meat buns and fried dough sticks were served again, and two eggs were given to each person.

The eggs were easy to collect. Doctor Li didn't eat them and put both eggs in his pocket. The staff in the canteen also saw it. No one scolded or stopped him. He put on a show of "Anyway, I gave you the eggs. You Deal with it as you like".

When Dr. Li returned home in the evening, Dr. Li's wife saw her husband coming back and immediately greeted her and asked if it was hard work. Dr. Li shook his head, took out these two eggs from his pocket and handed them to her: "You and the child can share these two eggs." One, warm it up and eat it.”

The wife looked at the egg in surprise: "Where did this come from?"

"It's from a pharmaceutical factory."

Dr. Li told his wife about today's meal, and she was also very surprised: "I have never heard of any factory where the food is so good, and they even have chicken legs for you to eat. They are really wealthy. Everyone eats like this, and the medicine is still there." If I don’t make it, I’m afraid it will cost me a lot of money.”

"Not everyone in the factory eats this way. I heard that only those of us who have passed the exam and are sure to have medical skills eat it in the canteen."

He showed his wife the emblem on his chest: "Look, this color is cyan. I heard people from the pharmaceutical factory say that it means I am a technician in the pharmaceutical factory and a capable one. Others' emblems are white. When I eat, Even in the cafeteria, we definitely wouldn’t be treated like this.”

Even so, it was enough for my wife to be amazed.

"That's how it should be. Only those who have the ability can eat well. Otherwise, everyone will eat the same thing, and you still have to learn what you can do."

Doctor Li didn't say anything, but he was actually a little proud in his heart.

He has studied medicine for many years, and although he is definitely not as good as Mr. Yuan Wang, he still has some abilities. He cannot say that he is not arrogant in his heart. Now, how the pharmaceutical factory handles things is exactly what he wants.

When he went to the pharmaceutical factory the next day, Dr. Li felt much more relaxed and worked more seriously than yesterday.

Unexpectedly, at noon, the food was still two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, one soup, and enough rice.

Yesterday I took it for granted, but today I am surprised.

This kind of meal is not only available for one day?

Everyone was surprised. Some people even asked the aunt who cooked in the canteen. The aunt smiled honestly and answered sincerely: "Mr. Ji said that from now on, we will eat like this in the canteen every day. He said that you are all capable people." , He can’t treat you badly.”

These words caused everyone in the canteen to discuss.

Looking at the whole of Rouan City, there is no place with such good food. Even in the whole of China, there is no factory that provides such food.

And they are given such good food because they are capable, which inevitably makes everyone feel very comfortable.

At night, Doctor Li brought back two more eggs.

When his wife took the eggs, her expression was even more surprised than yesterday: "Another?"

"Yes." Doctor Li nodded and washed his hands in the basin: "Every day, I will bring oil paper tomorrow to see if I can bring the chicken leg back for you two to eat."

After being surprised, his wife hesitated: "This is what your pharmaceutical factory gave you to eat. Won't they be angry if you bring it back?"

"It doesn't matter." Doctor Li said: "I have inquired about it. The small canteen only distributes things, and doesn't care whether we eat these things or not."

The next day, when it was time for lunch, Doctor Li carefully wrapped the chicken leg in the oil paper he brought. He was not the only one in the small canteen who did this. After knowing that they could eat like this every day, many people brought oil paper today.

At this age, most of them have families, wives, children and parents. If they have something delicious, they will save it for them even if they don’t eat it themselves, especially good things like chicken legs. They can only eat it once during festivals. Some people with poor families can’t even eat it during festivals. Now that they have the opportunity, they will naturally take it back to their families.

That night, Dr. Li’s wife and son ate the fragrant big chicken legs. The chicken legs were cooled and he brought them back to heat them up again. Naturally, the taste was not as good as when they were just cooked, but his son still ate it without raising his head.

Dr. Li smiled lovingly as he watched his son eat, and persuaded his wife who had eaten two bites and stopped to continue eating.

The wife said, "No, give the rest to the child. I'm not hungry either."

Dr. Li knew that she didn't want to eat, but just wanted to give it to the child, so he persuaded her, "Eat it. This chicken leg is not only available today. I will bring it back every day. You and the child can eat it every day, so you don't have to give up this one."

The wife asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to quit after only one month?"

"I changed my mind." Dr. Li replied, "Working in the pharmaceutical factory is relatively easy. The monthly salary is as good as if I opened my own medicine shop, and the food I eat every day is so good. If I opened my own medicine shop, I might not be able to have such good food every day. Since the pharmaceutical factory is a good place, I will not leave. I will work hard and bring chicken legs back every day for you to eat."

There are many people like Dr. Li who came for Mr. Yuanwang and planned to leave after one month because they didn't see him. But after one month, everyone was conquered by the generosity of the pharmaceutical factory.

After eating like this for a month, even if they would save the chicken legs to bring to their families, they still had a ruddy complexion and were full of energy. They looked much more energetic.

In addition, they gradually discovered that even if Mr. Yuanwang was not there, they could still learn some knowledge that they could not learn at other times in the pharmaceutical factory. There was actually a small library in the factory, and all the books in it were medical books. As long as people who worked in the factory signed, they could borrow them home for free.

Books are expensive nowadays, and these are all valuable items, not to mention that they are medical books that they need very much.

So when the short-term contract of one month expired, no one left. Even if they were not conquered by the food, they were conquered by the full room of medical books that could be borrowed for free.

After Ji Changze successfully retained such a group of talents, he began to select more outstanding candidates, or more accurately, candidates with stronger learning and research abilities.

Doctor Li was selected.

He is relatively young among the doctors. Although he is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he also knows some knowledge of Western medicine. According to the records of the library, from the time when he could borrow books to now, Doctor Li has read a total of four books in full, and each book is well preserved without damage.

Calculating the time, he has basically been using his spare time to study.

So on this day, Dr. Li went to work as usual, but was taken to a deeper part of the factory by the staff.

Inside, the eldest son of the Ji family, who was smiling innocently, was standing in front of a pile of strange pharmaceutical instruments waiting for him.

****

Once you have discovered talents, the pharmaceutical industry will be much smoother.

Ji Changze was very happy to open up. With him saying from time to time, "Maybe this will work?" "Why don't you try this?" "I've read a medical book that says this works", the research and development of new drugs gradually went smoothly.

Of course, in order to avoid others thinking that he was too evil, he still invited a foreign expert to provide guidance.

This foreign expert originally came for money, and when he saw the tentative finished product, he was shocked himself.

How could he make such a powerful drug while guiding?

Isn't this his most professional area? Why doesn't he know it himself?

After he was confused, he didn't care about anything else, and hurried to talk to Ji Changze, asking the Ji family's pharmaceutical factory to sell it to his country if it was supplied in the future.

Ji Changze looked very hesitant: "But these medicines are made for my country. Our soldiers haven't used them yet, and I can't guarantee that they can be supplied to other countries."

"Mr. Ji, I also know that you are in trouble. We are also friends. I will not hide it from you. The reason why I came to China is not only to find a job, but also to seek refuge. My country is at war with other countries. , there is chaos everywhere, if we have these medicines, maybe my country can slow down a little bit.”

Ji Changze was surprised; "What? Is your country also at war?"

The other party nodded with a sad face; "Mr. Ji, you don't know in China that the outside is completely chaotic. You beat me and I beat you in every country. My country is not small, but the ordinary people who are beaten can't eat it." Many soldiers died after being injured. My wife’s brother was a soldier and died on the battlefield. Therefore, I know the cruelty of war. Mr. Ji, please help me for the sake of our friendship. s country."

Ji Changze pondered in "embarrassment" for a while, and after a while, he sighed under his nervous gaze: "Let me think about it carefully. I plan to supply this batch of drugs to our country's army. If I still want to supply it to you, I need to discuss it with my family.”

Waiting for the other party to leave reluctantly, Ji Changze wiped his face and immediately asked someone to send him to find Ji's father.

Ji's father was happily calculating how much money his Ji family's merchant ship could earn through military shipping this time, when his son came over and told him such explosive news.

"What?! You found a buyer??"

Isn’t this pharmaceutical factory just opened? Why are there buyers all of a sudden?

Ji Changze nodded and briefly explained the matter.

Ji's father knew that foreign countries were also at war. Today was a troubled time, but it was not only their country that was in trouble, but all other countries were fighting fiercely.

"Which country is that foreigner from? You didn't agree, did you? But it's not a country that attacks our country. If it's a country that attacks our country, don't ask for money to buy it. We can't even sell it if he gives us gold!"

"Don't worry, dad. His country has too much time to take care of itself. How could he still be free to attack our country, China?"

Ji Changze answered quite quickly.

Can't it be faster? It took a lot of effort for him to select a foreigner from among a large number of foreigners who was honest and did not lie (easy to fool), had no national hatred, had real abilities, and had a good temper (easy to talk to).

"Dad, although their country can't keep up with the war, it has good financial resources. When the time comes, we will sell the medicine to our own army at a low price, and sell it to their country at a high price. We will also make money, and our country will also support you. What do you think of this idea?"

Ji's father looked at his son who was getting happier and happier as he talked, and felt that his eldest son was really a fool.

Why can you only see the immediate benefits? The long-term benefits are at hand, my silly son.

"You kid, you have good luck in doing business, but you still need to practice your real skills. You have only seen this foreign country, why can't you see other countries?"

Ji's father's analysis was clear and logical: "They are at war, and what they are fighting is called joy. This foreign country is not the only one that needs medicine for war. If this medicine is really as amazing as you say, we can go around. Sell ​​it, as long as it's not sold to countries that are attacking us. We can continue to produce medicine with the money we make. Don't you like to donate cans? "

Ji Changze had a look on his face like "Dad, you are so awesome and awesome" and said with a "sudden realization": "Yes, it can still be like this, why didn't I think of it?"

Father Ji's face suddenly filled with pride: "You are still young after all. It is normal not to know these things. You still need to learn more from your father."

Ji Changze nodded immediately: "Yes, dad is right, I still need to learn from dad, but dad, I only know how to run a factory, and I don't know how to talk about business, let alone talking to foreigners, I have stage fright. "

Father Ji pondered for a while: "Let me help you negotiate. You just need to produce the medicine well. Also, remember not to leak the formula. This is a good thing. We are afraid that we will have to give some profits to the military so that The military will be our backer, so I will go talk to Mr. Hong in the afternoon."

"As for the foreigner in your pharmaceutical factory, let him wait for a few days until he gets anxious, and then tell him that he can sell it, but the price cannot be lower. Let him return to his country to discuss with his country, and wait until he brings it with him. When the price comes back, just say you don’t understand it and ask him to talk to me.”

Father Ji kept talking. After finishing the arrangements, he immediately took out a notepad and quickly wrote down what he wanted to do, adding and deleting as he wrote.

As he was writing, he found that Ji Changze was still beside him, and his tone softened: "Okay, you don't have to be afraid. Dad is here and he won't let you suffer."

Ji Changze nodded trustingly: "I believe dad, then dad, I will go back first, and I will leave these to you."

"Let's go back."

As a result, Ji Changze succeeded in taking some time off again.

He lazily lay down on the recliner, planning to really take a good rest this time.

Unlike Ji Changze who likes to be lazy and look for people to help him deal with things, Ji's father has a fighting spirit from the beginning. Whenever there is such a thing that needs to be busy, he is in high spirits, his complexion has improved a lot, and he walks around with wind.

What Ji Changze needs is to be lazy, rest, sleep, and bask in the sun.

Ji's father liked the feeling of being needed.

Wasn't it because he felt that his son was being bullied and needed to be protected by him when he recovered so quickly during his illness?

This time, he actually had to negotiate with other countries. He was 120% alert, and he was as excited as a chicken blood every day.

After the military tried the medicine and learned that the Ji family was willing to supply the front line at cost price and also share the profits with the military, they quickly agreed to protect the Ji family.

This is also the cleverness of Father Ji.

The pharmaceutical factory is now a big piece of fat meat. Under normal circumstances, since their family has bitten the fat meat in their mouths, they will definitely be reluctant to spit it out, but the meat is so attractive that others will definitely want to eat it when they see it. One mouthful.

If you don't let go at this time, it will be the Ji family that will suffer.

Since everyone is going to be coveted, it is better to select the strongest one from those who want to eat meat, take the initiative to give some meat to him, and become an ally. The strongest person's camp will change, and the one who wants to eat meat will become an ally. It became necessary to protect the flesh with the Ji family.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Ji for this. He lived a great and upright life in the past. He never bothered to find a backer to stabilize his position. He also had infrequent connections with people. Only the students he taught were in the same camp as him.

I was tricked by Master Ji once. I watched helplessly as my beloved and grown-up son was insulted and bullied by this guy (Master Ji:...), and he even chased them to their doorstep to show off his bad words. He will never forget how badly Nagaze was bullied by this old bastard after losing the protection of his father (Master Ji:...) ).

From then on, Father Ji learned his lesson.

Okay, I'm a yin, right?

If you are yin, I will be more yin than you.

I've found a bunch of allies, all of whom you can't afford to offend, and I'll see how you can be cunning.

After talking to the military, Ji's father felt refreshed. He happened to know that Master Ji seemed to be in better condition, and immediately decided to take Nagasawa to visit him (annoying).

Ji Changze wanted to go, but of course, he had to show that he was not willing to go.

Ji's father advised him: "Although he has no affection for you at all, and now he seems to have seen that you are capable and wants to recognize you, which is indeed a bit shameless and hopeless and disgusting, but after all, he is your biological father. Everyone knows that if you don’t visit him when he is sick, others will say that you have no conscience. Of course, Dad knows that the one who has no conscience is him, a shameless, shameless and disgusting person. But the world likes to spread rumors, so we should not let anyone A clue is left."

In the end, Ji Changze could only nod his head "reluctantly".

Before going to Ji's house, he was carrying a big bag.

Father Ji asked him: "What are you holding?"

Ji Changze: "My friend asked me to buy it from abroad. I will give it to my uncle after I finish watching it."

The two of them arrived outside Master Ji's house. The gatekeeper now knew that his master was gone. Now Ji's father and Ji Changze were rich and powerful. He was full of joy when they saw them coming. After announcing their arrival, he was so happy when he went in. He was so cautious when he came out: "You two, our master doesn't see guests."

Ji's father said in an airy manner: "Aren't you going to see your brother and nephew when they come to visit?"

"I'm really sorry. My master is very ill and it's really hard for him to have guests."

Father Ji almost laughed out loud.

I'm still very sick, I'm afraid it's a heart attack.

Last time, this guy came to the door shamelessly. He wanted to win over Nagasawa in his words, but it was a pity that Nagasawa was stupid and sweet, and he almost made people angry to death with every word he said.

He is also sick if he gives up such a good son to others.

It's a pity that if the other party doesn't see him, he won't have the chance to be angry. It's such a pity.

Ji's father was very sorry, but there was nothing he could do. He just turned to Ji Changze and said, "Forget it, since we can't see him, let's go back."

Ji Changze shook his head and said with a serious face: "Dad, didn't you say that? If I don't condole to my uncle, others will say that I have no conscience. Even if I can't get in, I still want to condole."

Father Ji: "?"

Just as he was wondering, he watched Ji Changze take out a horn from the big bag he was carrying.

Then he turned on the switch and started to "condolence" towards the yard: "Uncle, I am Nagasawa. My father and I are here to see you. Are you okay!!"

The sound was really loud and scary. Not to mention the people living in the yard heard it, and they all opened their doors and came out to see what was going on.

Ji Changze continued: "Uncle, please rest assured and recover. My father and I are fine. The canning factory my family opened has received another order. The newly opened pharmaceutical factory has also signed a contract with the military. There are also foreigners who want to buy my home." I'm taking the gold in exchange for the medicine. Don't worry. My father is in good health. He eats three big bowls every time. He goes to a banquet every once in a while. The government always invites him. Uncle, please take good care of your health. It's inconvenient for you now. It doesn’t matter if you see me again when your illness is better. If my nephew has any happy events in the future, he will use the loudspeaker to inform you, so that you can also be happy. Maybe this happiness will help him recover. "

In the room, Mr. Ji, who thought that he would not be angry as long as they didn't meet each other, heard these words and immediately thought that such a promising son was his. If he hadn't given it away, these things would be his now. He suddenly said: " …”

Mr. Ji clutched his chest and began to breathe heavily again.

Outside, Ji's father was simply bewildered as he watched his innocent son say words in a sincere tone that made Master Ji angry to death.

After Ji Changze finished speaking, he smiled at Ji's father to take credit: "Dad, what do you think of this? The speaker is loud enough, and many people heard it. Even if we don't enter the house, others can't say anything about us. "

He added bitterly, "It's a pity that we have to pretend to be a snake with our uncle for the sake of reputation. Now he hears that we are locked outside and still care about him. I don't know how proud he is in his heart."

Father Ji looked dazed.

Proud? I'm afraid he must be angry to death.

What Changze said just now, every word was a stab to Master Ji's heart.

He stabbed it and sprinkled salt on it.

He swayed left and right, and said in a tone that was so angry that he couldn't bear it, "I am very capable. My father is now powerful and influential because of me. But don't worry, although these have nothing to do with you, I will definitely tell you all these."

Father Ji felt that if Changze really did this every day, he would probably receive the news of Master Ji's death in a short time.

And he would definitely be angry to death.

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became. Seeing him staring at him, Ji Changze looked puzzled and said, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Father Ji suppressed his laughter and said, "No, nothing."

He finally realized that although Changze was naive, he was also a natural black.
