Chapter 188 A Pie Falling from the Sky?
When Li Yi suddenly asked about the pharmaceutical factory, Wang Tao immediately put down the banner in her hand and honestly said, "A few days ago, Xiao Nan and I acquired a pharmaceutical factory. We are currently busy with renovations and upgrades, and it will probably take a few more days before it can officially start production."
"So fast?" Li Yi was quite surprised when he heard this.
Keep in mind that only a little over ten days have passed since the decision to build the pharmaceutical factory was made, and now it's about to start production.
Wang Tao explained with a smile, "Shao Bai has been a great help with the pharmaceutical factory's affairs. Without her, the progress wouldn't be this fast."
Li Yi immediately looked at Bai Ruxue.
Some time ago, after he wrote several new formulas for Bai Ruxue, Shui Zhi Yun Cosmetics Company has been busy preparing for the launch of new products.
There were already so many things to do, and now I have to help with the pharmaceutical factory's affairs.
It's estimated that she won't even have time to rest during this period.
"Ahem! Sister Bai, you've really worked hard. How about I take some time tonight to give you a thorough medical check-up?"
As Li Yi spoke, he winked at Bai Ruxue.
Upon seeing his small gesture, Bai Ruxue subconsciously squeezed her legs together.
These days, when she's busy, she doesn't feel anything, but now, she suddenly has a craving for salted eggs.
Bai Ruxue blushed and replied to Li Yi, "At least you have some conscience. But let's talk about the details tonight."
Wang Tao assumed Li Yi was worried about her best friend working too hard and fearing for her health, so she didn't think much of it. "Xiao Li, the shop is closed today, why don't you come with us to the pharmaceutical factory now?"
It was only a little past one in the afternoon, and there was still plenty of time before dark, so Li Yi simply nodded, "Okay, Sister Bai, you can come with me too."
Bai Ruxue naturally had no objections to being with Li Yi.
So the four of them drove away from the beauty salon immediately.
Xicheng District is a newly developed urban area of Jiangcheng. It is relatively far from the city center, but it has a number of industrial parks of various sizes.
The pharmaceutical factory that Wang Tao had previously acquired was also located in Xicheng District.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a factory.
"Xiao Li, this is the pharmaceutical factory we just acquired."
After getting out of the car, Wang Tao began to introduce herself as she walked.
Of course, the main person being introduced is Li Yi.
After all, Bai Ruxue had been to this place many times, and Wang Yingnan was very familiar with the entire pharmaceutical factory, as if she were clocking in and out every day.
As Li Yi listened to Wang Tao's introduction, he looked around the factory.
The entire factory covers an area of over a thousand square meters, and its scale is not small.
Moreover, the factory area is well-maintained, and the factory buildings look quite new.
"Sister Wang, this place looks pretty nice. Why would the seller be willing to sell it?"
Wang Tao quickly explained, "Xiao Li, I've done a thorough investigation. This pharmaceutical factory used to produce health supplements."
However, their products were only so-so in terms of effectiveness and sales were poor, so they had been operating at a loss, which is why the owner was determined to sell them.
It turned out to be the case.
Li Yi nodded upon hearing this.
Whether it's health supplements or traditional Chinese medicine, the most crucial element is the formula.
Without a good formula, no matter how well GG plays, once the public has been fooled, they will never play a second time.
However, the recipes I wrote myself, although not passed down from my ancestors, are definitely as effective as they seem.
After walking around outside, Li Yi followed Wang Tao into the factory.
"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
"Hello, Manager Wang!"
Although the pharmaceutical factory has not yet officially started production, many employees are busy at the factory at the moment.
Upon seeing Wang Tao and the others enter, many people greeted them.
"Remember this, Mr. Li is the real boss of our company. From now on, whatever he says, you must do as he says."
In front of the workers, Wang Tao solemnly introduced Li Yi's identity.
A group of people looked at the young Li Yi and quickly greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
"Okay, okay, everyone has worked hard."
After a brief greeting, Wang Tao waved and told everyone to go about their business.
Then, she went on to describe the situation at the factory.
"Xiao Li, although this place used to produce health supplements, the production lines, equipment, and other supporting facilities are all very complete and can produce traditional Chinese medicine."
Traditional Chinese medicine preparations are Chinese medicine formulations made from Chinese medicinal herbs according to fixed prescriptions and processes.
All the prescriptions that Li Yi wrote before were traditional Chinese medicine preparations.
Wang Tao had no prior experience in any industry other than collecting rent and running a beauty salon.
However, she put in a lot of effort during this time, not only learning a lot about traditional Chinese medicine, but also getting a clear understanding of the pharmaceutical factory's production process and equipment.
Li Yi nodded repeatedly as he listened to her introduction.
Just as Wang Tao said, this pharmaceutical factory in front of us only needs a few adjustments and it will be able to start production soon.
"Sister Wang, this place is really nice! By the way, is the money I gave you enough?"
Setting up a pharmaceutical factory requires a lot of money.
Bai Ruxue's cosmetics company has just been rebuilt and has not yet officially turned a profit, while Wang Tao's assets are basically all invested in real estate.
In addition, since everyone insisted on giving him all the shares of the pharmaceutical company, Li Yi simply invested the ten million yuan that Huang Jing had given him.
However, with such good conditions at this factory, he worried that a mere ten million wouldn't even be enough to buy the factory buildings.
Perhaps Wang Tao and the others secretly used their own savings to cover the costs.
Wang Tao immediately guessed Li Yi's thoughts. "Xiao Li, don't worry. It only cost five million to acquire this pharmaceutical factory. We still have five million in our account, enough to buy raw materials and produce the first batch of products."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi was immediately incredulous. "Wait! Sister Wang, such a big factory only cost five million?"
"Of course! I negotiated the price with my previous boss for ages before I finally got it."
"This is like a windfall!"
Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's alright, I just happened to come across the seller, and then..."
Wang Tao was speaking smugly when she suddenly heard a loud bang coming from somewhere in the factory.
Clang!
Immediately afterwards, a series of exclamations rang out.
"Old Hu, what's wrong?"
"Someone come quick and lend a hand!"
The sudden noise interrupted Wang Tao's words.
She turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
Li Yi paused for a moment, then immediately lifted his leg and walked over there.
"Something seems to have happened over there. Let's go check it out!"
