Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

As things were making progress, Chen Changan became more motivated to go to work. After arriving at the pharmaceutical factory early, he sat in Pu Lao's office to drink tea.

When Mr. Pu saw Chen Changan coming to his office and just drinking tea without saying anything, he couldn't wait any longer.

He asked, "Tell me, why do you come to my place again today? Is your cold still not healed?"

Seeing Pu Lao speaking, Chen Changan said, "I see you drinking tea leisurely every day, so I want to find something for you to do."

Pu Lao was immediately annoyed and said, "Who is leisurely? What you said is a bit irresponsible.

Am I a person who gets paid for nothing? Didn’t you see how many medicinal materials came into the factory yesterday afternoon?

I am so old, and I am just like an apprentice, checking the incoming medicinal materials every day. I am not getting paid for nothing, okay? "

Speaking of which, Pu Lao's level can really be regarded as that of a national player. He works in a pharmaceutical factory every day to verify the authenticity of medicinal materials, which is indeed a waste of his talent.

Chen Changan said, "I came to you today just to ask you to do some more technical work, right?

As for the work of identifying medicinal materials, we can just assign a few well-trained Chinese medicine apprentices to do it. When you are fine, just go check on them. "

Pu Lao was a little confused, and then asked, "Just now you said that I would get paid for nothing if I didn't work, but now you don't let me work anymore, so what should I do?"

Chen Changan smiled and said, "Didn't our quick-acting heart pills appear in the newspaper yesterday?

I don't know about other places, but in our yard, there are two people who need quick-acting heart-saving pills.

I believe that with the reports, the reputation of our quick-acting heart-saving pills will surely grow. People who need quick-acting heart-saving pills will also come to our pharmaceutical factory to inquire about them.

What I mean is, we were originally planning to build a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, but the weather now is not suitable for building a hospital.

Then we will arrange two rooms in the gatehouse to serve as a temporary hospital. You can take charge of the situation.

If anyone comes to ask about the quick-acting heart-saving pills, please take the patient's pulse and we will give two boxes for free if they really need it.

Then write down the names and addresses, and we will arrange people to visit them regularly. This can also be considered an experiment. What do you think?"

Pu Lao pondered for a moment. To be honest, he really didn't want to do the job of identifying the quality of medicinal materials. It was too troublesome.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, this is your Director Chen. I won't agree to change it to someone else."

Chen Changan smiled, then greeted Hou Mingjun and arranged for a few smart temporary workers to follow Pu Lao to the gatehouse to help.

As for whether they can learn a few tricks from Mr. Pu, it depends on their abilities.

Since Aunt Feng had instructed them to produce at full capacity, Chen Changan could only follow the instructions and produce first. However, there were not enough people for the machines in the pharmaceutical factory, so Hou Mingjun had to continue recruiting people. There were not many people, still only about 100.

This pharmaceutical factory is different from other units like motorcycle factories and textile factories. Even if the gross output value is the same, the number of workers required cannot be as many as those in labor-intensive industries.

A few hundred or even a thousand people is not a small number for a current pharmaceutical factory. Of course, with the increase in drug research and development in the future, there will be a greater demand for workers.

Aunt Feng called again today and asked Chen Changan to send samples to the department. Try to send as much of the stock of quick-acting heart-saving pills as possible.

Chen Changan was confused. Due to the situation in the department in the past few days, Chen Changan had only been in trial production and the output was not high, so he came to the department alone carrying a large box.

When Chen Changan saw Aunt Feng again, she no longer had the look on her face as she had last time when she went to the pharmaceutical factory. At this time, Aunt Feng was full of energy and vigor.

After seeing Chen Changan coming, Aunt Feng smiled and said, "Our hero is here."

Chen Changan smiled bitterly and said, "How can I be called a hero? I am just lucky. I thought that the newspaper would definitely not report us, but it turned out that not only was there a report, but there was also a commentary article."

Aunt Feng said, "Even if it was luck, it was because of what you said during the interview. Otherwise, our pharmaceutical factory would be in a passive position.

This time, I asked you to send samples. It was arranged by the superiors. Send the samples to Hong Kong Island first. See how the situation is, especially the efficacy and acceptance of the medicine, and see if you can earn foreign exchange like the motorcycle did in the past. "

Chen Changan nodded, took out a large box of medicine, and then said, "Our pharmaceutical factory was just conducting trial production some time ago, and the raw materials were not sufficient, so all the medicines are here.

I would also like to make a small suggestion about the packaging of this medicine. Our medicine is good, but the packaging cannot be bad.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Even Buddha statues are plated with gold.

Otherwise, patients who don’t know about our quick-acting heart-saving pills might think that our medicine is a defective product. Isn’t that right?”

Aunt Feng nodded when she heard this. This made sense. It was fine for her family to use it, but she was going to sell the medicine to earn foreign exchange, so the packaging couldn't be too bad. So she asked Chen Changan, "Do you have any suggestions for the packaging?"

Chen Changan thought that the packaging of the Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pills in later generations would be good, so he said, "Our country lacks everything except porcelain. We can use small porcelain bottles to store the pills.

As for the shape of the porcelain vase, a gourd shape is best. There are still many feudal and superstitious ideas in Hong Kong Island.

In some myths, panaceas are all packed in gourds, which means that our quick-acting heart pills are also panaceas.

It is packed in a small gift box, and I think this packaging is enough. "

Aunt Feng nodded. This is a good idea. Although we are not allowed to practice feudal superstition here, we should still respect other people's customs. Isn't this what is meant by "when in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

Aunt Feng had too many things to do, so she didn't talk to Chen Changan for much before letting him go back. She also repeatedly reminded him to produce the medicine as quickly as possible.

The Raw Materials Department has already begun assigning tasks to medicinal materials purchasing points in various regions, so Chen Changan does not need to worry about the raw materials issue.

If the Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pills are recognized in Hong Kong, the production of this medicine will be directly related to the country's foreign exchange income.

Since Chen Changan left, quality problems have occurred several times in the motorcycle factory.

Although Leader Qi has held several meetings at the motorcycle factory, quality problems still occur.

Leader Qi had been criticized by name many times in several high-level meetings. As the motorcycle factory changed its director many times, it still could not reach the level when Chen Changan was there.

The number of overseas orders received by the motorcycle factory is decreasing month by month, and its reputation overseas is not as good as before.

The top management was almost about to let Chen Changan go back to being the director of the motorcycle factory.

It was also because of Aunt Feng's insistence on reasoning, and as Chen Changan made achievements in the pharmaceutical factory, she did not touch Chen Changan for the time being.

Aunt Feng is very confident about the overseas trial of the Quick-Acting Heart-Rescue Pills this time. She believes that the Quick-Acting Heart-Rescue Pills will be a big hit, so of course, they should be produced in large quantities while this is going on.
