Prologue: Want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine
"I remember when I stood here, I could see the Pearl River at a glance, as if the whole city of Yangtze was under my feet. Now I can't see anything." Sheng Jiashu took out the Wuye Shen cigarette case from the pocket of his windbreaker and shook out a cigarette.
He held it in his mouth and lit it, then raised his head again and looked into the distance.
It's just that the scenery ahead no longer has the same view of Yangcheng and the Pearl River. There are only layers of high-rise buildings crisscrossing in front of it. In front of these high-rise buildings, Yuexiu Mountain Zhenhai Tower has become an object of overlooking.
Wei Feng followed Sheng Jiashu's gaze and said, "As long as you want to see it, you can see it from another angle or from another position. Do you want to see it? I'll drive you to see the Pearl River now."
"Stop making trouble. If you change your angle and stance, the scenery you see will no longer be the same as before." Sheng Jiashu said with a bright smile.
Wei Feng withdrew his gaze, turned sideways and faced Sheng Jiashu beside him: "If you don't change your angle, if you don't change your stance, I can only watch you lead the Pufan Group to the point of no return."
Sheng Jiashu glanced at Wei Feng, then continued to look forward, muttering softly the couplet on the main entrance of Zhenhai Tower:
"Thousands of eons of calamity, the dangerous building still exists, asking who picked up the Dou Mo Xiao, I am arrogant about the past and present; five hundred years ago, the old lord has been here, making me lean on the railing and read the sword, and shed tears for the hero. Sixteen years ago, the seven people
You are the most emotional. I remember that time when we came to Zhenhai Tower, when Anzi read this couplet, you said that you couldn't help but think of Peng Yulin's sentence of starting with a poor person and wishing to return with a poor person. If you can be like him in this life,
The same thing is called living up to this life."
"Among the four famous ministers of the so-called ZTE in the Qing Dynasty, I only admire Peng Yulin. He is a hero in the temple and has a strong love for his children in the wilderness. He doesn't want an official position, money, or life. It's easy to say it in three sentences or nine words.
It's... really difficult to do." Wei Feng said in a natural tone.
Sheng Jiashu nodded slightly: "Well, you did a very good job with these nine words. It was these nine words that pushed me to where I am now."
"No one is forcing you. As long as you change your mind, Pufan Group will still be yours..."
Before Wei Feng could finish speaking, Sheng Jiashu looked at him and said with a smile: "You and the alliance behind you all know that it is impossible for me to change my mind, and even if I do change my mind, you will be the first to die."
"I also said, I don't want an official position, I don't want money, I don't want my life. It's easy to say it, but it's really difficult to do it, but I can still do it." Wei Feng also smiled: "As long as you and Pufan Group really do it.
Willing to look back."
Sheng Jiashu flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and the ash quickly drifted away in the mountain wind: "I forced two of the seven people who started a business together back then, one to death, you forced one away, and married one away. Now,
It's just you and me, and if I leave, you and Pufan Group can turn around."
"I really hope you will turn back. I came out this time and left 50 million for my wife and children. If you are willing to turn back, my family will have no worries about food and clothing, and I will have no regrets when I die. As for you forcing me to death, I am still in the alliance.
If you force me to death, it doesn't matter whether I jump from a building or burn charcoal to death, at least Pufan Group can survive."
"So stingy? I'm not as generous as I am. I asked my lawyer to open an account in a Macau bank in the name of your daughter and deposited 200 million Hong Kong dollars into it." Sheng Jiashu handed the cigarette case in his hand to Wei Feng and said, "Smoke one, yes.
Well, I asked a British knight to help you with the matter of your daughter going to a British girls' school. She joined the queue and she can enroll this year without waiting for next year."
Wei Feng took the cigarette case, hesitated but took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it and took a puff, then coughed violently: "More...cough...thank you."
Sheng Jiashu grinned and pressed his arms on the guardrail: "I promise your daughter that you will go back to accompany her this weekend, provided that you are willing to smoke a cigarette with me."
"Really...don't think about it?" Wei Feng looked down at the cigarette in his hand and pursed his lips.
"I'm so annoyed by you... The road to your goal in this world is always getting narrower and narrower. First there is no room for strangers, then there is no room for friends, and finally there is no room for brothers to stand side by side with you. The closer you get, the lonelier you become. Is there anything strange about it?
?The differences are so huge. If you don’t kill me and let me die forever, how can you let Pufan Group continue to move forward according to your will?" Sheng Jiashu raised his head and closed his eyes, feeling the gentle breeze blowing on his face.
of refreshing.
The mountain breeze in Yangcheng in August carries a faint smell of sweet-scented osmanthus.
He seemed to have returned to the past. He remembered that it was also August, and seven young people who had stepped out of the ivory tower stood on the Zhenhai Tower in high spirits, promising to build a pharmaceutical company to produce medicines to benefit the people. The name Pufan also came from that time.
Seven people came up with it together, Puji Chenfan, what a good name. Seven people drank sweet-scented osmanthus wine on the Zhenhai Tower to celebrate the establishment of Pufan Company and to celebrate that they came up with such a nice name.
Pufan Pharmaceutical started as a small private pharmaceutical marketing company. Everyone worked together to accumulate funds little by little and strengthened Pufan until Pufan gradually had its own production line and pharmaceutical factory, and began to be able to comply with national standards.
Produce some Chinese patent medicines that are commonly used by the public.
Sheng Jiashu still remembers that when the first bottle of medicine printed with the Pufan Pharmaceutical trademark was taken off the assembly line and placed in front of the seven of him, everyone had the same smile. That was because the bold words back then were fulfilled.
That was the most crowded time and also the last time. Seven people showed exactly the same smile.
That bottle of medicine was licorice tablets, a very simple and common medicine, but it was solemnly placed in the most conspicuous place in the Pufan Group conference room by seven people, and it is still there today.
Later, Pufan Group gradually formed a scale and had a certain amount of capital reserves. It also began to face two choices. It could either follow the example of other pharmaceutical companies, stick to its existing territory, invest in expanding marketing business, and lay out drug chain operations and health industries, or it could
Follow the example of Western pharmaceutical groups and invest all funds to embark on the path of independent research and development.
The problem is that the eight million US dollars that Pufan had reserved at that time was just a drop in the bucket for independent research and development projects. It could only last until the developed drugs completed the most basic pre-clinical evaluation. If financing investment could not be found by then,
The Pufan Group will bleed to death.
Also before this selection, seven people had disagreements because they were alumni, four from the medical department and three from the law department. This disagreement was also called the medical and legal dispute before the transformation of the Pufan Group by later business magazines.
.
Zou Shiguang and Huang Hui from the Department of Law were in charge of marketing and drug chain operations at that time. They rationally believed that making money was the first priority for Pufan. They should first build a large territory and have market share to ensure the company's profitability before engaging in independent research and development.
Not a bad idea.
Sheng Jiashu felt that what Zou Shiguang said was very sensible and correct, but he just wanted to take a gamble. So the disagreement led to Zou Shiguang taking the marketing department to leave the Pufan Group and start his own business, but Sheng Jiashu used counterintuitive tactics to send him to prison.
Huang Hui was forced to resign.
After the independent research and development began, all the company's funds, including all the personal property of the remaining five people, were like being thrown into the water. In the end, the self-developed drug reached the first phase of clinical trials. The subsequent clinical evaluation showed that the drug was very effective. In the end, Bayer Pharmaceuticals priced it at 4,000 yuan.
Ten thousand US dollars was exchanged for the patent of Pufan Group's self-developed drug in all markets except China.
The five people who had won the bet, Sheng Jiashu, Wei Feng, Wu Haian, Du Qiuchan, and Wen Li, looked at the 40 million US dollars on their books. Instead of laughing, they held their heads and cried.
Only they knew how difficult the years they had just passed were. Wu Haian, the most honorable young man in Shanghai, borrowed money from the world without scruples, and was ridiculed and ridiculed.
When the pretty boy Wen Li heard that Midnight Cowherd had a high income, he was already planning to find a part-time cowherd in a ladies club to make money to pay the salaries of those highly paid R&D personnel. When the US dollars arrived, he even learned pole dancing...
Wei Feng defrauded him and his girlfriend Du Qiuchan from their parents and even relatives in the name of high-return investment. It was less than a month before it was due to expire. If they did not receive 40 million U.S. dollars, Wei Feng and Du Qiuchan would have lost their money.
I will be sued by my relatives for fraud.
As for Sheng Jiashu, the most filial man, he opened his parents' tombs with his own hands and sold a Song Dynasty Hexin cup passed down from his ancestors until the last moment.
Afterwards, Bayer Group signed an agreement with Japan's Taisho Corporation to transfer the development and sales rights of this self-developed drug in Asia excluding China to the latter. Taisho Corporation paid Bayer Group 380 million US dollars for this, and Bayer Group made a profit of 100 million U.S. dollars.
times, although patent licensing is sold very cheaply, Pufan Group has gained popularity in the world's pharmaceutical industry, and China's huge pharmaceutical market has finally realized the existence of Pufan Pharmaceuticals. The bet that year made Pufan Pharmaceuticals famous.
.
The sales of self-developed drugs in the Chinese market ensure the profits of Pufan Group, and the profits will continue to be invested in research and development. This seems to be a very beautiful cycle, if it can continue like this.
Wu Haian, who has always been dedicated to the company and has the highest prestige among employees, was put on the grill by the middle and senior management of the group without knowing it. He proposed the concept of listing the company on the grounds that the company needed internationalization and formalization. In fact, it was those middle and senior management who
No longer satisfied with the equity dividends in his hands, he wanted to cash out at a high price after the company went public and achieve his goal of financial freedom in life, so he encouraged Wu Haian to promote the listing of the company.
Sheng Jiashu believes that the time for listing is not mature. Although the company's R&D funds are tight, the company's own operations can solve these problems and there is no need to put capital shackles on Pufan Group. He also points out the thoughts of the middle and senior management, but Wu Haian does not believe it.
, believes that issues such as Sheng Jiashu’s structure, courage and even vision are the main factors that hinder the company’s listing and development.
The contradiction was irreconcilable. In order to avoid a farce similar to forced abortion in Pufan Group, Sheng Jiashu took retreat and sent Wu Haian to the United States on the pretext of preparing to go public. Then the butcher's knife was raised high. Within a week, all the middle and senior managers of Pufan Group who encouraged the listing were expelled and killed.
, and Sheng Jiashu declared to the outside world that this purge was a double act between Wu Haian and him. Wu Haian, who was in the United States, did not wait for the listing, nor did he wait for Sheng Jiashu's explanation. He only waited for the desperate questioning and abuse of those who were purged.
, humiliated and even threatened, this young Shanghai man finally failed to hold on, his mentality exploded, and he chose to commit suicide by burning charcoal in New York, USA, to prove his innocence.
Then Wen Li, who had a close relationship with Wu Haian, broke with Sheng Jiashu because he was dissatisfied with Sheng Jiashu's cold-bloodedness. Before Sheng Jiashu could make a move, Wei Feng took action and forced Wen Li away. Of course, he actually saved Wen Li, otherwise Sheng Jiashu would have been
I was going to send him in to accompany Zou Shiguang.
Later, as the group continued to grow, Du Qiuchan married Wei Feng and voluntarily quit the management to raise her husband and raise their children. Two years later, Wei Feng was replaced by a new person arranged by himself, and his reputation took a back seat to become a winner in life.
The ordinary life of seven people back then has finally become the ordinary life of Sheng Jiashu alone.
Listing, financing, expansion, mergers, holdings, alliances, reorganization, Pufan Group is like a hungry beast in the hands of Sheng Jiashu, expanding its business scale, everything goes as planned. Among the top five companies in China by annual sales, Pufan Group
Where the group ranks second, the first place is called Sinopharm Holdings.
Among state-owned enterprises in the pharmaceutical industry, Sinopharm Holdings is the largest, and among private companies in the pharmaceutical industry, Pufan Group is the largest. The two groups have occupied 43% of China's pharmaceutical wholesale market. The greed and aggressiveness displayed by Pufan Group have made other pharmaceutical companies
tremble with fear.
Finally, Wei Feng stood opposite Sheng Jiashu as the secretary-general of an alliance composed of eleven pharmaceutical companies.
Sixteen years later, only two of the seven people are standing on the Zhenhai Tower, and the scenery is no longer the same as before.
"In the United States, there can be an oligopoly structure with three pharmaceutical companies occupying 90% of the pharmaceutical wholesale market. In China, it is not possible. There are state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in this alliance. The reason why everyone puts aside their prejudices and sits together is that Sinopharm only accounts for two points, and Pufan
Accounting for eight points, you account for ninety points. The alliance will then form a comprehensive suppression of Pufan Group regardless of profits and losses. Maybe the government policy is very loose for private enterprises, allowing you to be unscrupulous, but market competition will not allow Pufan Group to continue
Keep eating like this and look back. You can reach your current position and look back without shame." Wei Feng exhaled and looked at Sheng Jiashu who closed his eyes and raised his head slightly and said.
Sheng Jiashu shook his head gently: "Forget it, I am thirty-seven years old this year. In the past fifteen years, the business world has been ups and downs, good, bad, clean, dirty. I have done everything, except the things I never thought about and have never done.
, just look back.”
"Okay... okay, the crime of manipulating the securities market, the crime of insider trading, and the crime of bribery by an employer, the total sentence is about fifteen years. When you get out, we can go fishing together." Wei Feng saw Sheng Jiashu refusing to look back and was silent for a moment.
Then he said.
Sheng Jiashu smiled, opened his eyes and looked at Wei Feng: "Can you help me figure it out?"
Wei Feng also laughed: "You forgot, I graduated from the law department."
"So, in the ordinary medical-law debate, the rational legal department has the last laugh." Sheng Jiashu said.
Wei Feng's cell phone rang. He took out his phone to answer the call, turned his back and walked away a few steps. Listening to the inquiry on the phone, he frowned slightly and said, "We are talking. Even if we can't reach an agreement, Pufan Group can only
It will be a smooth and normal handover. I will take over Pufan, so that those in Wuzhou don’t have to take advantage of the situation..."
Sheng Jiashu slowly took out a rough glass medicine bottle from his pocket, with the trademark of Pufan Medicine printed on the label. He unscrewed the bottle cap and poured out only one white pill: "How could you still let me
If you have the opportunity to go fishing, stupidly, it is still beneficial to open your own pharmaceutical company. At least you don't have to trouble others about what medicine to take."
