Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

As soon as Lin Guoqing walked out of the hotel door, several thugs rushed out and beat him up.

Several thugs thought that Lin Guoqing was delicate and tender and easy to bully, but they didn't expect that Lin Guoqing had learned martial arts since he was a child, and he specialized in Wing Chun.

He grabbed a stick from a thug and fought back fiercely. When the hotel security came over, Lin Guoqing beat down several thugs.

"You all saw it just now. They hit me, so I fought back." Lin Guoqing replied and threw away the stick in his hand.

The security guard nodded. "We all saw it. They attacked you first. We called the police."

When he arrived at the police station, he was poke with electric batons a few times and immediately confessed. Someone paid them to teach Lin Guoqing a lesson and try to get him driven away.

Lin Guoqing had been here purchasing medicinal herbs for half a month without any problems. He was beaten just as he was involved in purchasing from a pharmaceutical factory.

Lin Guoqing could guess who it was even with his toes.

Lin Guoqing returned directly to Xiangyang Town instead of staying at the hotel in the county town. At least in Xiangyang Town, Secretary Liang, Mayor Feng, and Xia Jie could protect his safety.

After listening to Lin Guoqing's account, Xia Jie's face turned blue with anger. "Selling off state property for a small profit is really too much."

Lin Guoqing smiled bitterly. "I've seen many people like this, but never one this brazen. It's clear the person behind this has profited greatly. If we can't successfully sell the factory to the island nation, it will bring him huge trouble."

Xia Jie sneered, "Now the higher-ups have stopped selling it, and they've sent experts here. A factory that wants to sell so many patents, no way."

Lin Guoqing thought for a moment and asked, "Our boss wants to accept it now, but as you can see, the investment environment isn't very good. If we set up a factory here, it might be difficult for us to manage it."

Xia Jie felt very upset. It would be great if the factory could remain in the local county town. It would increase employment and allow the medicinal materials to be processed nearby.

"Manager Lin, can I discuss something with you? Can we keep this pharmaceutical factory in our county?"

Lin Guoqing hesitated. "Mr. Liu hasn't decided yet, but it depends on the public security and management here. The investment is real money, and it's a long-term one. If there's no guarantee, after we buy this pharmaceutical factory, we will most likely keep the primary processing of medicinal materials and move the rest to Shenzhen."

Xia Jie scratched his head. "Oh, it's a big problem, but I will try my best."

After Xia Jie arranged to purchase medicinal materials, he went to the pharmaceutical factory in the county and spread the word through some people that someone in the pharmaceutical factory was selling state assets at a low price and stealing the state's secret recipes with the help of internal and external collusion.

For a time, the laid-off technical workers were enraged and surrounded the pharmaceutical factory, especially Director Wang, whose door was pelted with dog feces.

When the county learned that the pharmaceutical company represented by Lin Guoqing was preparing to acquire the pharmaceutical factory, it breathed a sigh of relief and sent someone to follow up.

Yu Huanhuan asked Lin Guoqing, "We hope the factory will remain local and we'll keep our patented formula. We can negotiate other things."

Lin Guoqing thought for a moment, then said, "The local business environment is not very good."

Yu Huanhuan quickly apologized, "We are now cracking down on this, and we will definitely create a good business environment for foreign investors."

Lin Guoqing thought for a moment, "Now we are faced with a question: who is the major shareholder?"

"We invested in the company with factories and prescriptions, and now hold 51% of the shares. How's that going?" Yu Huanhuan asked tentatively. If the state-owned shares can be kept at more than half, the nature of the enterprise can be preserved.

Lin Guoqing shook his head. "That's impossible. We'll contribute 12 million and own 80% of the shares. As for the workers, we'll have to assess them before they can be hired. Those who fail the assessment, or who pass the assessment but can't complete the work, will be fired. They won't be communal workers just because they're workers."

Yu Huanhuan shook her head. "Twenty percent is too little. How about this? Give us forty percent?"

Lin Guoqing replied, "No, your factory and equipment are very old, and it's located in the county town, which limits its development. We want to build a factory in the new district, and we'll provide the equipment. It's like you only provide the land and patents, and we'll get a 20% stake. After the preferential period, we'll still be able to provide a large amount of tax revenue and create at least 1,000 jobs."

"Not only that, Xiangyang Town has already contacted provincial experts to start simulating wild-caught medicinal herbs. Once they meet the standards, we will purchase large quantities. This can be replicated not only in Xiangyang Town but also in other towns under Wuzhou County. Furthermore, we require that the local government have no management rights, only dividend rights. We are Hong Kong-funded."

Yu Huanhuan was startled. "Aren't you from Shenzhen?"

Lin Guoqing replied, "Yes, in Shenzhen, but our registered address is in Hong Kong Island. We do this to guard against some... local protectionist forces. You know, we want to protect traditional Chinese medicine, and we've invested real money in building factories and equipment. We must have the strength to fight these things."

Yu Huanhuan calmed down and became more cautious. "Boss Lin, I understand. I'll discuss this with my superiors when I get back. If the local government doesn't agree, we'll buy the patented formula and set up a factory in Shenzhen."

Yu Huanhuan became more cautious, "I understand, Mr. Lin."

Xia Jie also rushed around, and Secretary Liang and Mayor Feng also did not stop. The pressure from above was very strong, and the patent could not be sold.

Someone else reported that Director Wang had accepted bribes, and all kinds of things came together.

Finally, the county government agreed to Lin Guoqing's request and seized the opportunity to carry out reforms.

During this process, Xia Jie was transferred to the county because of his outstanding performance, and was prepared to be responsible for the pharmaceutical factory and the primary processing of medicinal materials.

After listening to Lin Guoqing's report, Liu Meilan felt half relieved, but she would wait until the pharmaceutical factory started production before she could decide the other half.

Liu Meilan sent two financial officers and two assistants to assist Lin Guoqing.

Liu Yiwen saw Liu Meilan hang up the phone, looking unhappy, and asked: "Why did you do it when you knew it would be troublesome?"

Liu Meilan smiled bitterly. "Xia Jie has been calling me to explain the benefits of setting up a factory there. Now that he's in charge of this matter, I want to give him a chance. Forget it. If it doesn't work out, just consider it as me spending money to buy a patented prescription."

Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "Then your prescription is quite expensive."

As they were talking, Zhang Xiufang came home from get off work and excitedly described to Liu Meilan what she had seen on the road, "Meilan, Lai Sanmao went to buy pearls and was beaten by the people on the island."

Liu Meilan's annoyance vanished immediately. "Aren't they happy to sell at a high price? Why are they arguing?"

Zhang Xiufang replied, "Lai Sanmao's price was very high, but there was a problem with the measuring tool. The diameter was clearly five millimeters, but it could only be measured with a four-millimeter measuring tool. A single millimeter can often affect the price, and the price difference is quite large. Lai Sanmao, I think he'll be beaten to death today."

When Mr. Liu heard this, he didn't say much. Instead, he walked to the police station and said to Chief Wu, "Those who cheat and deceive must be severely punished."
