Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparing to Set Off

  After expelling the dry stool and toxins from his body, Liu Dachun was discharged from the hospital that afternoon, no different from a normal person.

  Before leaving, Lin Hai gave Liu Dachun another prescription for conditioning after the treatment. In the afternoon, at more than 3 o'clock, Liu Dachun's family and Song Jian and Zhou Tong returned to Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory together from the hospital.

  As for Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, Song Jian was still very satisfied. After returning, Song Jian and Liu Dachun discussed the issue of acquiring the pharmaceutical factory.

  Liu Dachun was originally a straightforward man, and now that he had received Song Jian's kindness, he didn't hide anything and said: "To be honest, Mr. Song, the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is currently in a state of negative profit. My partner and I have been losing money for a long time, so I have no choice but to sell it out. The land of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is a 50-year commercial land use right, which is also its most valuable part. At that time, I handled it with other people's joint investment and bank loans, and finally came up with 10 million yuan. However, the government suddenly raised the price last year and forced me to sign a new 50-year contract, which cost 12 million yuan. In other words, Mr. Song, the right to use this land belongs to you, and there are still 49 years left. In addition, the site's buildings and facilities are worth 3 million yuan, so in total, if you want to buy it, Mr. Song, we can make a deal for 15 million yuan. If it's lower than that, I'll have to lose money on it. Hehe, to be honest, these years really haven't saved much money, so if it's less than 15 million yuan, I won't sell it."

  Song Jian nodded, he knew that the number was already very low. In fact, the land is now worth 120 million, and after ten or twenty years, when Jinji Lake area is fully developed, the annual rent will be this number.

  "Alright, I'll go back and draft a contract. Let's get everything settled the day after tomorrow." said Song Jian.

  Liu Dachun hastily nodded his head. He also wanted to get rid of the factory as soon as possible, because every day's wages for the workers were a burden to him.

  "Oh, right, what will you do after selling this factory?" Song Jian asked.

  Liu Dachun smiled, his lips curled up. He was a retired soldier, with dark skin and very white teeth, giving people a kind of silly and honest feeling.

  "Haven't thought it through, maybe I'll just go back to Shenzhen and find a job," Liu Dachun said with a wry smile. Although his family was relatively well-off, Liu Dachun himself didn't have any special talents, and the pharmaceutical factory he had started with partners a few years ago hadn't made much money either.

  "Hmm, then why don't you stay and help me manage this factory instead? I'll pay your salary," said Song Jian.

  "Ah?" Liu Dachun was taken aback.

  "Think about it, the salary won't be less than eight thousand."

  After finishing speaking, Song Jian and Liu Dachun shook hands and bid farewell, then walked out of the Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory with Zhou Tong.

  On the road, Zhou Tong stared at Song Jian, "You are more and more like a boss, and you don't look like a driver at all."

  Song Jian shrugged his shoulders, "I'm now both a driver and a boss, yeah, the company already has 50% of my shares."

  "You're really something!" Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Oh, then this time we go traveling, you can treat me."

  After saying "bao wo" (marry me), Zhou Tong's face became slightly hot, these two words are somewhat similar to "bao yang" (keep as a mistress).

  "Hmm," Song Jian didn't think much of it.

  First sent Zhou Tong back near her home, then picked up Xu Si and Xia Lin after work, consuming more than 200 yuan in fuel for the day.

  But Song Jian didn't mind, although he didn't have much money now, he had never thought that he would be short of money in the future.

  Back home, and reported to Xu Si about the acquisition plan of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory.

  Xu Si was very excited after hearing this. Even if the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory couldn't make a profit, the land use rights alone would be a good long-term investment.

  After dinner, Song Jian returned to his room and went online. He joined a QQ group with the number 291730324. This QQ group was given to Song Jian by Zhai Hao, and all the people inside were fellow travelers preparing to head to the Taklamakan Desert.

  After verifying the message, the group administrator did not immediately agree, but asked for Song Jian's name and referrer. Song Jian filled in his own name and Zhai Hao's name.

  After verification, Song Jian entered the group and found that there were only fifteen people in it.

  "Song Jian? I am Di Hao." A QQ number called "Waiting for Rain" sent a message, Waiting for Rain, it seems to be waiting for Qin Hua Yu.

  I am.

  "Welcome, welcome! Zhou Tong has already arrived, just waiting for you now (smiling face)." Zhai Hao was very enthusiastic towards Song Jian.

  "Alright, now that everyone is here, I took a count earlier and most of you have never been to the desert before. So let me first talk about the equipment we need to prepare, and tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll discuss some precautions for traveling in Xinjiang and the desert." A person named "Beauty Loves Red Dress" also spoke up, who is also the group owner.

  "Alright, everyone quiet down, let the beauty speak." "Yu Baozi" spoke up.

  "Is she really a beauty? How old is she? This time, how many women, ah no, single women, went to the Taklamakan Desert, (colorful expression)." A guy named "Beauty Stabbed Me" called out.

  "Everyone stop, listen carefully to what I'm about to say," said "Beauty Loves Red Dress", starting to talk about the equipment they needed to buy.

  Song Jian felt relieved, it seemed that this "beauty loves red dress" had been to the desert before, with her leading the way, he saved a lot of worry.

  Then Zhai Hao privately chatted with Song Jian, and Song Jian only then knew that this trip was not a donkey friend gathering, but rather an individually initiated adventure travel activity.

  That "beauty loves red dress" is Di Hao's superior, she and her two friends decided to travel to the Taklamakan Desert, but Xinjiang region is not safe, so they thought of finding a few more people, then everyone introduced each other, as a result, it developed into fifteen people.

  Since they were all introduced by acquaintances, these fifteen people, although not very familiar with each other, are all reliable, which also avoids some troubles during the trip.

  Going to the desert for a trip, especially in winter near the Spring Festival, there are still many things to prepare. In addition to tents, water, down jackets and so on, high-top desert boots, sand-proof glasses and other items are also needed. Some people also need to bring compasses, binoculars and other items.

  After chatting for a while, Song Jian wrote down the equipment he wanted to buy and was about to shut down the computer. He thought for a moment and decided to ask "Beauty Loves Red Dress" about Huagucao instead.

  After "Beauty loves red makeup" finished speaking in the group, Song Jian privately approached her, "Hello, have you heard of Huagucao? Oh, also known as Camel's Poison."

  "What's wrong?" The beautiful woman in red replied slowly.

  "Oh, this time going to Taklamakan Desert, I want to bring some back." Song Jian said.

  "......" The beauty in red dress made a speechless expression, "What do you want it for? To kill someone?"

  "......". This time Song Jian was speechless.

  "Hmm, this plant is now very rare, but experienced desert dwellers can still find it, ask them when the time comes." said Mei Nu Ai Hong Zhuang.

  "Thank you."

  He Mei girl loved red dress after finishing talking, Song Jian also counted as relieved, it seems that this time there is a 80% chance of finding the Bone Melting Grass.

  The next day, Song Jian went to the Siyuan company and had someone draft a contract for the purchase of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. Then he went to various places in Gusu City to buy equipment. He bought two sets, as Zhou Tong also needed one.

  As for Xu Si and Xia Lin, Song Jian didn't plan to bring them along. Xu Si wasn't particularly fond of this kind of adventure activity, while Xia Lin still had school and no time.

  The beautiful woman in red dress continued to explain the things that need attention in the desert. Since there were many equipment to bring, they finally decided to take a self-driving tour. Fifteen people were divided into four cars and set out on a long journey.

  A week later, fifteen people met on the shores of Taihu Lake in Wuxi.

  Zhou Tong wore a windbreaker, with a warm and windproof hat on her head, wrapped in a long scarf, standing prettily beside Song Jian. Although only half of her face was exposed, the youthful and beautiful aura still made the men around her turn their heads one after another.

  "Hey, Song Jian," Qin Huayu also changed into warm clothes and walked over with Zhai Hao, greeting Song Jian.

  Dai Hao was very excited to be able to go on a desert trip with Qin Huayu, which was a great opportunity, and it also meant that Qin Huayu had begun to trust himself.

  "Let's get to know each other and then set off," a tall woman walked into the middle, said loudly. The woman was over thirty years old, with an oval face, eyes slightly red and swollen, very beautiful, with a few hints of a young married woman's charm. There was a small mole on the left side of her nose. Although her attitude was somewhat cold, her gestures were revealing temptation.

  This must be the Fox Spirit's appearance, Song Jian thought to himself.

  Dai Hao pointed at the tall and slender woman, saying: "Oh, see her? She's Mei Nu Ai Hong Zhuang, also our company's boss, Xiao Han."

  Song Jian said "oh" and Zhou Tong looked at the woman and said: "Your boss is so beautiful."

  Dai Hao smiled slightly.

  At this time a man of twenty-eight or nine years old walked over and said to Zhou Tong: "Hello beautiful, my name is Ding Jie, English name Jane. May I ask what's your name, beautiful?"

  Ding Jie's style is a bit too much, he clearly saw Zhou Tong standing next to Song Jian, but directly came over to ask Zhou Tong his name, only those with extremely thick skin like the wealthy young masters have this kind of ability.

  Zhou Tong wrapped her arms around Song Jian's arm and said, "I'm already taken, why don't you go ask someone else?"

  Ding Jie glanced at Song Jian, then pointed to a not-too-distant place and said: "There is still one seat left in our car. The beautiful famous flower has an owner, Miss. Would you like to come and sit? Oh, of course, this gentleman is also welcome to come and sit together."

  Zhou Tong glanced at the Cadillac XTS in the distance and pouted.

  Ding Jie was taken aback, and Zhou Tong had already spoken up: "Your car is too crappy, it's not safe. Hey, that's our car, see? It's a luxury limited edition Range Rover."

  Ding Jie was also a car connoisseur, he just took a glance at the limited edition Range Rover in the distance that Song Jian was driving, and immediately retreated. Whoever can afford to buy this limited edition Range Rover and even modify it must be a wealthy tycoon.

  "He's definitely a prodigal son, even more so than me," Ding Jie thought to himself as he glanced at Song Jian, then turned and walked towards Xiao Han in the middle. Among the fifteen people, there were five women, and Zhou Tong and Xiao Han were undoubtedly the two most outstanding ones.
