Chapter 176 Each has a plan
There are many time-honored pharmacies that hire pharmaceutical companies to produce their own branded drugs.
From the perspective of making money, OEM is much better than running your own factory.
After all, for doctors, what they are best at is treating patients, not running a pharmaceutical factory.
By handing over the prescriptions to a pharmaceutical factory for processing, you can earn a lot of money and save worry.
Shi Qi's goal is to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine, but not just to make money, she must have her own pharmaceutical factory.
So after listening to what Director Shen said, I just smiled and said,
"You are right. Managing a pharmaceutical factory is indeed troublesome, but I still want to acquire a pharmaceutical factory."
For people of this era, Shi Qi's ideas were too advanced. If she couldn't take the absolute initiative in the pharmaceutical factory, then everyone might not listen to her.
Director Shen frowned. For him, Shi Qi was too young.
Being so young and self-employed, it doesn't matter if you have money and medical skills. You may not be able to keep your wealth.
However, considering that the other party still had the money in his hand and Shi Qi did not explicitly say that he would ask him to do the processing, he continued to persuade him earnestly,
"What's wrong with OEM? You just sit back and collect the money, and leave everything else to Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory. Why buy a factory?"
"Well, since you insist on OEM, let me ask you, what do you use for OEM? Is it the old equipment in the factory?
If we still have these equipment and these workers, how much can the daily output be?
Do you know what the daily output of foreign Kampo medicine factories is? "Shi Qi hit the nail on the head and pointed out the other party's problem.
Director Shen's face suddenly turned ugly. Of course he knew that foreign Kampo medicine factories had already implemented streamlined operations.
Take a small book as an example. The production of traditional Chinese medicine is like the production of screws, all operated by machines.
The speed is very fast. With the same raw materials, people can achieve their monthly output in one day.
Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory still manually prepares medicines, boils them in large pots, and then fills them manually...
Not to mention that it cannot be compared with foreign pharmaceutical factories, even in some developed provinces, the output is more than ten times that of Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory.
There is no assembly line and manual operation is not only slow, but also requires many workers. This greatly increases the cost of pharmaceuticals.
In other words, even if Shi Qi handed over the plaster to them, he wouldn't be able to make much money with the same investment.
This is also impossible.
In the past few years, after Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory earned money, it used it to provide pensions for employees and improve welfare.
Of course there is nothing wrong with this, because workers are the owners of the factory, and it is natural that the money they earn should be used to improve their welfare.
However, profits are limited. If you invest more in welfare benefits, you will inevitably invest less in production equipment.
Today, the equipment used by Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory to produce traditional Chinese medicine was purchased when the factory was built in the 50s.
Therefore, what Director Shen said about OEM is just to fool people who don’t know the industry.
Director Shen also didn't expect that Shi Qi was proficient in the art here.
If Shi Qi handed over the plaster to them for processing, it would be equivalent to using the secret recipe to support a large factory of theirs.
Director Shen wiped his sweat and said, "Small doctor, the equipment in the factory is indeed a bit backward, but it depends on who you compare with.
Xiaobenzi’s assembly line is well developed, but our medicines are not sold abroad and can be produced and sold by ourselves, so there is no need for you to compare with Xiaobenzi…”
"Traditional Chinese medicine will definitely become internationalized. I bought a pharmaceutical factory just to compare with the small book, and to compare with the small book." Shi Qi said eloquently.
As soon as she said these words, the room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Qi's face. Some were in admiration, some were surprised, and some couldn't believe it...
Director Shen was also young, and Shi Qi's words reminded him of himself in the past. He was once a passionate young man who was determined to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine.
It's a pity that the more revitalized Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory is, the faster it will be destroyed. Is it because he is incompetent?
The room was quiet for a while before Director Shen forced a smile and said, "Comrade Xiao, it's me who is vulgar, Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory, the equipment and efficiency are indeed not very good.
If you really want to buy a factory, I can recommend one to you. It's a little smaller, but they also have their own land, and the procedures and qualifications are complete. "
When things got to this point, Director Shen no longer regarded Shi Qi as an enemy. He carefully introduced Shi Qi to a rural pharmaceutical factory as if he were a friend.
"This Jiangbei Pharmaceutical Factory is an enterprise run by Chunmiao Commune. It is considered a large collective. If you really want to buy the factory, go and talk to them. There may be surprises."
As Director Shen spoke, he took out two business cards and handed them to Shi Qi along with the information about Jiangbei Pharmaceutical Factory.
Shi Qi understood that Director Shen had no intention of selling Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory from the beginning.
All he needs is an investor, whether it is OEM or equity investment, as long as the other party can bring money and help him revitalize the funds on his books.
Despite this, Shi Qi still expressed her gratitude to Director Shen. Liu Meiyu was very embarrassed and sent them to the gate.
"I told Director Shen before that you wanted to buy the factory, and he always agreed. Who would have thought that it would turn into soliciting investment again? I'm really sorry."
Accountants are just ordinary workers. How can they influence the factory director's thoughts?
Besides, today was not all fruitless. Shi Qi raised the business card in his hand.
"Accountant Liu, I rely on you and the acting factory director for help today. I will go to Jiangbei Pharmaceutical Factory for talks next. Do you have any intention to join us?"
"Join? How to join?" Liu Meiyu suddenly became interested. Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory was half-dead and she couldn't get full salary even when she went to work.
In his family, fortunately, Dean Dai still makes money, otherwise it would be a problem for several children to go to school.
Shi Qi briefly explained her plans. If she wanted to buy a pharmaceutical factory, she would naturally need a full set of management personnel. If Liu Meiyu went there, she could become a deputy director in charge of financial logistics.
Liu Meiyu's eyes immediately lit up. Of course she knew what a deputy director was. If she could be in charge of financial logistics, she would be the director's confidant...
Liu Meiyu was very happy that Shi Qi could trust her so much, but there was also a shortcoming, that is, Shi Qi's factory was also run by a self-employed individual, so she didn't know whether it would last long.
"I can't make my own decision on this matter. I have to discuss it with my boss Dai."
"Of course, I'll take my leave now."
After leaving Dongzheng Pharmaceutical Factory, Shi Qi and others went straight to Jiangbei Pharmaceutical Factory.
This pharmaceutical factory is a commune-run enterprise. Despite its big name, it is actually very small in scale.
Just because it is close to Julanjiang Commune, it was named like this.
Because there was no agreement in advance, it was not easy for a few people to go in and visit rashly. They just walked around the wall, had an idea in their minds, and went straight to the commune.
According to Gu Yao, he has an acquaintance in this commune, "We are comrades in arms. After he changed jobs, he ended up in this commune. Let's ask him first..."
