Chapter 641

Yang Qing brought a hundred billion, to Mainland opened a venture capital firm, the news like a gust of wind, quickly spread across the country.

Gangdao's richest person had long been widely known in Mainland.

Being able to open a TV station in Mainland, and also own a centrally administered newspaper, Headline Daily.

Yang Qing was no longer news.

Even many people know that the Yang Family fought a bitter struggle with foreigners and won.

As for rumors about Yang Qing, they keep emerging.

Such a person actually went to Te Qu and opened a venture capital company, with funds actually amounting to a hundred billion Hong Kong dollars.

Countless people were shocked, countless people were delighted.

After Yang Qing arrived in Te Qu, he quickly used people brought from Gangdao to set up the framework of Hongqing Investment.

Because people from the Chinese Medicine Association will soon come to find him.

After years of arrangement, the Chinese Medicine Association has already mastered coordination of the full industry chain from planting to processing, to drug transportation, storage, and sales.

Moreover, with government cooperation, they launched protection of wild medicinal herb production areas, standardized the collection of wild medicinal herbs; simply put, it means banning hunting and logging in wild medicinal herb production areas, and when collecting, they must also leave seeds, even needing to pick one kind ten.

As for Chinese medicine, after years of effort, they have already incorporated the nation's 790,000 Chinese medicine practitioners into the association, beginning standardized management and issuing medical licenses.

And the master-apprentice style Chinese medicine training system has also been set up.

However, due to the insistence of Chinese medicine colleges, the association also incorporated Chinese medicine hospitals into the training system.

The nation's Chinese medicine system has already been built.

Next comes the main show of Chinese medicine development.

To promote and study the efficacy of universal good prescriptions, completing the industrialization of Chinese medicine.

There are also many secret formulas of veteran Chinese medicine practitioners, such as bone-strengthening pills, cooling tea, plasters, trauma pills, trauma liquor, health-preserving liquor, etc., common household medicines, to be commercially developed.

Yingshan Snake Grass Water also applied to join the Chinese Medicine Association.

This time they also came over.

Nothing much, just want to also build a factory in Te Qu to facilitate export business.

They are a bit short of money, so they came to ask for funds.

This is a state-owned enterprise; Yang Qing is also encountering for the first time a state-owned enterprise coming to seek investment.

Yang Qing agreed to meet with them.

The visitor is Luo Weide from the Qingdao Spring Water Factory (in memory of founder Luo Dewei).

(Introduction: at that time the eight major soda factories: Beijing's North Polar Ocean, Tianjin's Mountain Sea Pass, Shanghai's Proper Broad Harmony, Guangzhou's Asia, Shenyang's Eight Kings Temple, Chongqing's Heaven's Abode Cola, Shandong's Yingshan Cola, Wuhan Factory Two Soda).

Luo Weide wore a white shirt on top, trousers below, a leather belt around his waist, wore large leather shoes, held a briefcase, and came to Hongqing Daxia drenched in sweat.

In recent years the soda factory has developed not badly, but to say it has a lot of money is not true; at best it's okay.

But now because of export problems, he is stuck; exporting to Gangdao and Southeast Asia is fine, but if he wants to export to the West he must meet their quality requirements.

Gangdao's Li Changjiang intended to invest in the Qingdao soda factory, but it's not yet the late 1990s; their state-owned enterprise's pride remains, and from the heart they are unwilling to accept the other's investment.

Not accepting others' investment means they cannot buy new equipment; without buying new equipment they cannot produce products meeting export standards.

(Currently Yingshan Snake Grass Water's export volume is not yet large.)

Funding problems (need foreign exchange to buy equipment) have now become a roadblock to their internationalization.

Having heard that Yang Qing has money, they wanted to see if they could get some funds from him.

After Yang Qing received the call from the front desk, he went downstairs to meet the visitor.

As soon as Luo Weide entered Hongqing Daxia, he immediately felt a swish of cool breeze.

His irritable mood improved a lot.

"Surely a wealthy person, this work environment is probably even better than the central 【government】."

Luo Weide felt envious for a moment; upon seeing Yang Qing, he quickly put away his pig-like appearance and wiped his hands.

"You must be Mr. Yang, indeed fame does not compare to seeing you; just this glance makes me feel an aura that is hard to forget."

Yang Qing shook hands with him, ignoring his flattery.

"Factory Director Luo, let's go upstairs to talk."

Luo Weide didn't say more, just accompanied with a smile, and along the way sized up the building's decoration.

Along the way all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women made one dazzled; inside the office there were even more computers.

The phone kept ringing, one didn't know how many calls.

(At that time phones were still quite expensive.)

Moreover, one could see many people carrying big brother phones while contacting clients.

Hongqing's luxury made him envy endlessly.

He wished this place were his own office.

Yang Qing brought him to a reception room.

Luo Weide also knew he was shabby, so he did not sit down directly.

"Mr. Yang, I don't know where the washroom is; let me clean up a bit."

The assistant beside him reached out his hand.

"Factory Director Luo, come with me."

Luo Weide apologized to Yang Qing and then followed him away.

Luo Weide arrived at the restroom and was startled by its high-end fittings.

Damn, their toilet is cleaner than his own kitchen.

He originally thought the hotel he stayed in was already the highest-end place he had ever seen in his life; who would have imagined that their workplace is even better than where an emperor lives.

Before he could finish his sigh, the assistant handed him a set of cleaning supplies, and besides also gave him a set of shirt and trousers.

Factory Director Luo, there's a shower room here; you can rinse off a bit, make yourself more comfortable.

Luo Weide didn't know what to say.

All this rigmarole—I don't know if they're looking down on me or just relying on their money.

This stuff must be several hundred, right?

You can tell at a glance this clothing isn't cheap.

(It's produced by his own son, very cheap, costing only about ten or twenty.)

After washing up, Luo Weide felt much more comfortable.

Returning to the reception room, Yang Qing was already looking over the information on Ying Mountain.

Yang Qing only knew about Ying Mountain Snake Grass Water and Ying Mountain Beer; he didn't expect they also produced Ying Mountain Cola, and it's been around for several decades.

Later it disappeared, probably crushed by foreign brands.

Upon seeing Luo Weide, Yang Qing got straight to the point.

"Factory Director Luo."

"To be frank, this is our first time cooperating with a state-owned enterprise."

"In principle, we don't invest in state-owned enterprises."

"The reason? The bosses all understand."

"Factory Director Luo should understand."

Its competitiveness is too poor, the organization is bloated, innovation capability is weak, it's overly bureaucratic—investing money just means losing money.

Unless they're currently preparing to acquire Ying Mountain.

But what he's doing now is venture capital, not industry investment.

In venture capital, the biggest taboo is encroaching on others' businesses.

Once you do that, your reputation is ruined as well.

Luo Weide doesn't understand a thing—what does he supposedly know?

He looked utterly confused, so Yang Qing had to remind him.

"You're a public institution."

Luo Weide suddenly realized that Yang Qing was saying his position was equivalent to that administrative rank.
