Chapter 102: Paranoiac
Wanqing Pharmaceutical is just outside the East Fifth Ring Road, but now it has been officially renamed Tianzheng Pharmaceutical. Its predecessor, Wanqing Pharmaceutical, was also brilliant at that time, and its factory occupied dozens of acres, in addition to the later-built Wanqing Building. In the late 1990s, having such a large piece of land around the Fifth Ring Road was not a big deal, as the concept of the Fifth Ring did not exist at that time. If it were now, just the land alone would be worth billions, definitely a sky-high price.
That's fate!
The times have changed the fate of many people, making some people rise to fame and fortune, while others fall to the ground.
"From now on, this will be our workplace." Wu Tian said to the people beside him, pointing at the high-rise building in front of them. The original "Wanqing Pharmaceutical" sign at the top of the building had been replaced with a new name: "Tianzheng Pharmaceutical".
"It's stylish, no worse than Sheng Tian!" Zhao Wenjie said after seeing it.
"Nonsense." Feng Dali, the oldest, said after hearing Zhao Wenjie's words. "The Wanqing of that year didn't know how many times more than Sheng Tian, if it wasn't for building this Wanqing Building, Boss Wanqing wouldn't have been investigated for tax evasion and arrested, and a dynasty would have ended like that."
Listening to Feng Dali's narrative, others looked at the high-rise building in front of them, and from it, they seemed to see how brilliant Wangqing was at that time. At that time, the Wangqing Building was quite famous.
" Wu Tian." Luo Hong looked around and then suspiciously asked Wu Tian, "Why is there only this one building, where's the factory? Why can't I see it?"
"There is no factory," said Wu Tian.
"What? No factory?" The others were stunned when they heard Wu Tian's words.
"No factory, how can we produce?"
"Wu Tian, you're not joking, are you?"
Looking at the crowd of people who kept asking questions, Wu Tian smiled and said, "Wanqing is now left with only this isolated Wanqing Building. Its former factory was just around here, covering dozens of hectares, but later some were sold, some were mortgaged, and some were taken back. Now you can see that they have all become real estate projects, either high-end residential buildings or commercial office buildings. This Wanqing Building is still something I managed to get my hands on after turning 18 bends on the mountain road. Fortunately, it's just this isolated building; if it included a factory, I really wouldn't be able to afford it. In fact, I chose this place also because there was no factory here. I don't have any intention of becoming a pharmaceutical company boss; I just want to continue with Project A. So, you can simply consider this place as a pharmaceutical research institute that specializes in R&D. As for employees, it's just us."
“……!”
When Wu Tian's words were heard, everyone fell silent. They did not expect that the purpose of Wu Tian's establishment of a pharmaceutical company was so simple, just for Project A. It sounds a bit absurd, but this spirit of being dedicated to dreams is also moving. After all, they are all members of Project A.
If they were previously willing to follow him because of their recognition of Wu Tian's ability, then now they have thoroughly believed in and worshiped Wu Tian. For the sake of that obsession, they can actually do it to this extent. Such people are either crazy or obsessive.
But, as Andy Grove also said, only the paranoid survive!
Apart from this, they also vaguely felt that Wu Tian's identity and background were very powerful. Otherwise, who would throw money into such a bottomless pit? However, thinking that there was someone like him to rely on, their future work could be done with ease. This was also good news for them.
"Come on, let's go take a look!" Wu Tian smiled and said to the person beside him, then led the way in.
Tianzheng Building has a total of 16 floors, four more than Shengtian Building. Because he had been here before, Wu Tian directly took everyone to the R&D department.
"When Wanjing Pharmaceutical was brilliant at that time, it also had a great relationship with their boss's emphasis on research and development. In its heyday, Wanjing had nearly 300 R&D personnel, not including external consultants and experts. They would often invite foreign experts to guide them, while sending outstanding employees abroad for further study." Wu Tian introduced, "The building has a total of sixteen floors, with the R&D department occupying two floors. The fourth floor where we are now, as well as the fifth floor upstairs, are all dedicated to it. The relevant facilities here are very complete, and the equipment is absolutely beyond your imagination. Although some devices seem outdated now, they can still be used because of good maintenance. Go take a look."
Wu Tian initially chose Wanqing mainly because of its complete R&D facilities, many of which were not available at Shengtian. So it's not an exaggeration to call this place a research institute.
Seeing so many devices, everyone present started to feel itchy. They hadn't touched these things for a long time. Suddenly they couldn't touch them and felt like something was missing in their lives. Their feelings towards these devices were just like ordinary people's feelings towards their mobile phones. Even when not using them, they still wanted to take a look. Once they left, they felt uncomfortable all over.
"Wow, great!"
"So many devices, but only a few of us are using them? I remember in the past at Sheng Tian, one device had several groups lining up to use it, and I was so anxious that my endocrine system almost went out of balance. Now I'm relieved."
"Wow, all of these are German goods? Awesome!"
Zhao Wenjie and others eagerly opened various devices, the laboratory that had been quiet for a long time once again emitted sounds. Just like a vegetative person who had been asleep for a long time suddenly waking up, it was full of vitality.
Lu Hong stretched out her hand and gently wiped a spectrometer, looking at the dust on her hand and said to Wu Tian, "It's been a long time since anyone used it. Shouldn't we reorganize it?"
"Yes." Wu Tian nodded and said, "I brought you here today to let you get familiar with this place. Then come up with a plan, put all the equipment we need in one area, so that in the future when we do experiments, it will be much more convenient. As for the equipment... Feng Dali, I'll leave the maintenance and inspection work to you. I need you to complete it as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I've got it covered." Feng Dalì patted his chest and guaranteed, "I'll call the factory right now."
“……!”
Just as Wu Tian was assigning tasks to everyone, his mobile phone rang. Wu Tian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, a string of numbers that were very familiar. Hmm? Isn't this Zhuo Wenjun's mobile number?
Wu Tian's mind involuntarily conjured up the image of this classical beauty, thinking about last night's barbecue and beer with these ancient people who had crossed over. Wu Tian pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Wu, hello, I'm Zhuo Wenjun? Do you still remember me?" came the voice of Zhuo Wenjun over the phone.
"I'm not even thirty yet, my memory hasn't degenerated to the point where I forget someone I saw last night." Wu Tian said with a smirk, holding his phone.
"Sorry, it was Wen Jun who misspoke."
"What is Miss Zhuo looking for Mr. Wu?" Wu Tianwen said with a hint of sarcasm, as if he was about to recite a few clichés.
"Mr. Wu, Wen Jun is right outside the Tianzheng Building now."
Wu Tian hurried to the window and saw a white Maybach parked outside, with Zhuo Wenjun standing beside it in a white dress. The wind blew gently, her black hair fluttering, her skirt fluttering, and her elegance was unmatched.
Wu Tian was slightly stunned, this woman's information was too well-informed. As soon as he entered the building, she pulled up in her car outside. Even the CIA didn't have such efficiency.
At Wu Tian's astonishment, a calm voice from Zhuo Wenjun came through the receiver again.
"The Tianzheng Building has been idle for a long time, and the equipment is not being used. Wen Jun knows that Mr. Wu is short-handed, so if he doesn't mind, Wen Jun can send someone to help Mr. Wu with maintenance and cleaning."
Zhuo Wenjun gazed at the skyscraper, a smile on his face, with an air of ease and confidence, as if he had everything under control.
Such a woman, if not taken in, will certainly be a formidable opponent in the future. Wu Tian quietly looked at Zhuo Wenjun, and once again felt Zhuo Wenjun's uniqueness. Wu Tian had a feeling that Zhuo Wenjun might become his enemy. If he didn't take her down while she was still small, it wouldn't be easy to take her down after a few years when she really became big.
Wu Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth followed, revealing a hint of a charming smile.
Zhuo Wenjun, what do you want to do after all?
