The Company's Planning
"Probably. He's already an adult, but he's still acting like a child." Guan Xuemin smiled. "Actually, he knows that I'm not an idiot. That's why he helped me with the paperwork so quickly. What he said just now wasn't directed at you, but at me, expressing his dissatisfaction! Yi, you've only suffered because of me. Anyone else would've done the same. "
"I see!" Lin Yi nodded in realization. "But Uncle Guan seems to be doing pretty well now? No longer relying on your family? "
"Since then, he hasn't relied on me for anything," Guan Xuemin shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "However, Xiao Xiang is lucky, he found an even more powerful backer, and now he's doing very well. When he's free, he wants to prove to me that he can succeed without relying on me."
"Haha, I didn't think Uncle Guan had this side to him." Lin Yi smiled. "He probably knows that you were doing it for his own good, but the knot in his heart hasn't been untied yet."
"Of course he knows, but he's still brooding about it." Guan Xuemin said. "Alright, forget about him. It's been so many years, I've gotten used to it. He might look like he doesn't like it, but he's still good to me. "
"I don't even know who my parents are … haha …" Lin Yi was a little saddened. He'd only understood the meaning of his parents after he grew up, but he still brooded over the fact that they'd abandoned him. Fortunately, he had two masters who loved him dearly, and that replaced the love he'd had when he was young.
Guan Xuemin paused. He'd had many guesses about Lin Yi's parentage, even thinking that Lin Yi was the descendant of the benefactor who'd taught him all those years ago. It was one of the reasons he trusted Lin Yi unconditionally, but he'd never dared to ask.
On one hand, Lin Yi didn't want to talk about his parentage, and on the other, he was afraid that Lin Yi would keep it a secret. It'd only make things awkward if he didn't tell him.
"You … you don't know who your parents are?" Guan Xuemin looked at Lin Yi in shock.
"Haha, I only have two masters, but they're both nice to me, treating me like their own son … They're a bit strict, but I know they're doing it for my own good." Lin Yi didn't hide his identity on purpose, there wasn't much to hide.
"It's good that you have this mentality. But as long as someone treats you well, regardless of whether they are your biological parents or not, you will treat them as family, right?" Guan Xuemin smiled. "Master, master. In other words, a master is like a father!"
"Yes, that's right. Therefore, I didn't lack love in my childhood. My mentality is also very normal. "Lin Yi nodded seriously.
"Your medical skills were taught to you by your master?" Guan Xuemin hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Yeah, one of them taught me martial arts, another taught me medicine, and a bad master taught me how to steal and gamble … …" Lin Yi smiled bitterly.
"I see … …" Guan Xuemin felt a bit of a headache at the complicated relationship between Lin Yi's masters. "If your medical skills are already this good, then your master … …"
"Haha, I can't say that, Grandpa Guan. Both my old man and my kung fu master are special people. I'll have to keep it a secret without their permission." Lin Yi didn't want to hide anything from Guan Xuemin, but Lin Yi couldn't say anything without his master's permission.
Even people close to him like Huaijun didn't know about this.
"It's fine, I'm just asking." Guan Xuemin was a bit disappointed, but he didn't blame Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi was doing the right thing. "Let's talk about the company- the medicines that are ready for the market right now are pain relievers and injury medicine. I can't make any decisions on the other types without the formulas … …"
"Haha, there are some formulas for the other types, but which ones are more popular?" Lin Yi didn't know much about business.
"Well … As long as it's effective, it'll sell well." Guan Xuemin said. "Common cold medicine, for example. If you can make a traditional medicine with minimal side effects, it'll sell well too! But these are all established pharmaceutical companies with established formulas and brands. It's pointless for us to go in and fight for the market. "
"It's true that the common cold medicine's formulas are already set. Even if I were to change it, it wouldn't be much of an improvement. The best way would be to supplement it with acupuncture or cupping, but that's impossible unless it's a clinic. You can't just get acupuncture and cupping for free, can you?" Lin Yi nodded with a smile.
"I'm not an expert when it comes to business, actually. I'm just giving my personal opinion." Guan Xuemin said. "You should hire a management expert to run the company."
"That's true. It's not that easy to find a professional manager." Lin Yi knew that Guan Xuemin was speaking the truth. "First of all, is the person trustworthy, and second, is he really capable … … After all, the success of a pharmaceutical company depends on the professional manager's ability."
"I think you should ask Mr. Lai about that. He's been in the business world for a long time, and he should have some experience. It shouldn't be too hard to ask him to find a professional manager!" Guan Xuemin said. "At least it'll be easier than looking for one ourselves."
"That's true … …" Lin Yi nodded.
Fatty Lai left for about half an hour before rushing back with a few bags of herbs in his hands. He barged into Guan Xuemin's study. "Miracle Doctor Lin, I bought them, I bought them all!"
With that, Fatty Lai placed the bags on the coffee table in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked at the huge pile of bags in front of him, confused. Why was there so much? Even if he bought a kilo of each herb, there wouldn't be this many!
Lin Yi opened a bag and checked the herbs inside. They were all packed according to his prescription. He couldn't help but feel strange. "Isn't this enough? What's in the other bags? "
"The other bags are the same, but I bought them at different points!" Fatty Lai said, panting. "There are a lot of scammers these days. I was afraid that I'd buy fake medicine in one pharmacy, so I thought about buying from a few more. I thought that there should be some real ones, right?"
