Chapter 1256 Those Who Know When to Adversity: The Japanese Are Unreliable! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing this, the experts were all taken aback. They had just learned that the people from Guangzhou were in groups of four.

Although there was an expert from Shanghai among them, it was clear that the team worked together quite well.

The dialects now need to be mixed up and broken up, which is completely different from the following arrangement.

What do you mean?
Although the dialect was explained clearly just now, in order to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, everyone still couldn't help but wonder: was it to guard against them?

However, their next words, spoken in dialect, dispelled their doubts.

“I’m not targeting any particular research institute or individual, but rather speaking from a management perspective.” Fang Yan tapped the table, his gaze sweeping over everyone. “There are four people from Guangzhou, all from the same province, but they come from different organizations.”

“There are nine of you now. If you all stick together in your original units, it might seem convenient on the surface, but over time, those in Shenyang will only care about the Shenyang secret recipe, and those in Changchun will only care about the Changchun project. That will create three small groups!”

"To be frank, what I need is a collective that can fight tough battles, not a group of independent, self-governing factions."

After speaking, Fang Yan paused, then looked around at everyone:
"I've finished talking. Who is in favor and who is against?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, Helian Zhang's master, Zhou Shouchang, spoke first: "Director Fang's idea is good! I have long wanted to talk to the comrades in Changchun about the preparation of plasters. The 'lead oxide decoction' method used in your 'Qubi Ling plaster' has been a mystery to our research institute for several years."

"Now that we can have cross-group discussions, we're sure to gain new insights."

Fang Yan, Zeng Luquan, Su Yue, and Meng Jimin all looked at Zhou Shouchang. Last time, his apprentice Helian Zhang was the first to jump out and cause trouble, but now his master is the first to stand up and agree. This old guy is something else!

After Zhou Shouchang finished speaking, he winked at his two fellow villagers, and the other two experts from the Shenyang Research Institute immediately understood.

He immediately stated:
"Yes, what Professor Zhou said really resonated with us. We've been looking for an opportunity to consult with experts from other research institutes, and now we've finally found that chance. Director Fang's grouping is quite scientific, and I wholeheartedly support it!"

Another one responded:

"Yes, me too!"

The people at the Shenyang Research Institute were the ones who knew best what had happened to Helian Zhang at the time, and they had seen the documents regarding the use of dialects.

They know best what has become of Helian Zhang.

When the people from the Shenyang Institute saw how much they supported the dialect arrangement, the people from the other two research institutes thought about it and realized it made sense.

“That makes perfect sense. We didn’t achieve anything significant in our own research institute before, but now that we’re in a new institute and interacting with new colleagues, we’re bound to gain something new. Director Fang’s arrangement is definitely a good one!”

"I support it too! As long as it's an order from the leadership, we should just do it!"

"That's right, that's right, I agree! Only through this kind of technological exchange can we achieve greater breakthroughs!"

As everyone chimed in with their opinions, those who had initially had reservations now fell silent, and everyone simply followed the crowd.

Technicians are stubbornly meticulous, but this depends on the situation; besides, expressing their intentions in dialect can also persuade them.

I'm actually starting to feel a little excited about it.

Fang Yan watched as everyone agreed, his gaze lingering on Old Zhou, who was leading the group, for a moment, then he clapped his hands and said:
"Great, since everyone agrees, let's decide on the groups. There's still a while before we start work this afternoon, so each group can find a place to chat, get to know each other's technical strengths, and share their thoughts on the project."

"Deputy Director Meng, please take everyone to the conference room next door, divide the personnel into groups according to the plan, and let them choose their own group leaders; Su Yue, please make three copies of the secret recipe list for each group and distribute them to each expert."

“Okay!” Meng Jimin and Su Yue agreed in unison.

Everyone followed Meng Jimin toward the conference room, and soon lively discussions could be heard in the corridor.

Fang Yan, standing at the office door, heard these sounds and nodded to Zeng Luquan, saying:
"It seems that the people this time are much more pragmatic than the last time."

Zeng Luquan said with a smile:

"I cleaned one up last time, and it seems to be quite useful now."

He could also see that Shenyang was indeed the most cooperative.

"By the way, aren't those three groups qualified to be research members?" Zeng Luquan suddenly asked.

Nodding in dialect:

“Yes, we’ll provide it! But this time we’ll be providing part-time staff.”

"part time?"

“That’s right, I told you before, I’ve founded two clubs,” Fang Yan reminded Zeng Luquan.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Luquan paused for a moment before remembering that Fang Yan had indeed established two clubs at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the research institute here. The one at Peking Union Medical College Hospital was called the Huaxia Medical Frontier Club, and the one at the research institute was called the Yanhuang Traditional Chinese Medicine Club.

"Oh, I see!" Zeng Luquan exclaimed in realization, then asked:
"Are you planning to approach the club affiliated with Peking Union Medical College Hospital this time, or the club affiliated with our research institute?"

"Let's approach the research institute's club first, since they're all involved in traditional Chinese medicine and have more experience. I'll talk to Dean Zhao Xiwu about the personnel situation and ask him to help spread the word and see if anyone signs up," Fang Yan said to Zeng Luquan.

……

Fang Yan quickly relayed the news to Zhao Xiwu.

As a member of the club, Zhao Xiwu thought about Fang Yan's idea for a moment and agreed. Some research institutes don't have heavy research tasks right now, and some have even completed them and are waiting for new tasks. Fang Yan can now directly mobilize people to do other things, which is also to consider the diversity of talent utilization for the research institute.

So Comrade Zhao immediately agreed.

"But are these people really that obedient? None of the nine of them are tough?" He asked Fang Yan with some curiosity, as if it were illogical for Fang Yan not to encounter any tough opponents.

Fang Yan was speechless. Did the old man not want things to go well for him?

"Haha, don't get me wrong, I just thought there must be a few of them with bad tempers," Zhao Xiwu said with a laugh, trying to cover it up. "No, they all seem pretty easy to talk to," Fang Yan said.

Zhao Xiwu said to Fang Yan:

"Since they're so easy to talk to, you should also show your appreciation and help them resolve their concerns, such as finding jobs for their family members and sending their children to school."

Nodding in dialect:

"Of course, they just arrived today, and I've already asked Comrade Zeng Luquan to compile statistics on this matter. We'll need your signature later."

Zhao Xiwu said with a smile:

"No problem, I'm your logistics captain!"

"Look at what you're saying..." Fang Yan felt that the old man was making fun of him.

Zhao Xiwu laughed loudly:

"Haha, don't let me down. You'd better bring out the best stuff and make a killing in foreign exchange!"

He said in dialect:

"Don't worry about that. Our previous plaster has passed clinical trials and will be put into production soon. It will be available in Hong Kong in as little as half a month."

"For other overseas locations, it should take at least a month to launch."

Zhao Xiwu nodded:
"Hmm, not bad! Your efficiency is really high!"

Fang Yan waved his hand, saying that when it comes to making money, of course, efficiency is key. Who wouldn't want to make money quickly?

Then he remembered what was happening in Japan, so he asked Zhao Xiwu:
"By the way, has Kobayashi Pharmaceutical responded yet?"

Zhao Xiwu's smile faded, and he shook his head with a serious expression:

"Nothing yet. We've already sent a telegram to them, but we don't know what the problem is."

Old Hu asked them to check in Japan, but they haven't replied yet, and he doesn't know what's wrong.

Fang Yan had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and said to Zhao Xiwu:
"Then I'll leave the club's notification to you."

“Okay, I’ll definitely get everyone together for you,” Zhao Xiwu nodded and said.

……

A few days passed quickly, and it was the end of August.

The three new groups at the Secret Recipe Research Institute have already started working. When the people from the club heard that they could enter the Secret Recipe Research Institute, they responded enthusiastically, and more than thirty people came when Fang Yan was asked to report.

There were far more people than I had imagined.

Overall, things went much more smoothly than I had imagined.

Hu's professional manager in Japan also replied, saying that Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is currently negotiating with Tsumura Pharmaceutical.

Having met several times already, Fang Yan has reason to suspect that Tsumura Pharmaceuticals has discovered some clues and is currently in talks with Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals.

Kobayashi might change his mind. After all, they've invested a lot. If Tsumura Pharmaceuticals is willing to give up some profits, Kobayashi could make a profit for free, and the matter might be over.

Historically, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical has never engaged in large-scale market competition with Tsumura Pharmaceutical.

Now that dialects have appeared, they've influenced Kobayashi Kazuya. I wonder if historical revisionism will bring things back to their original state.

Judging from the fact that Xiaolin did not reply to the research institute's message, it seems that they have begun to waver. After all, Fang Yan and his side have made quite a few demands, and if Xiaolin Yiya agrees to them all, the cost will be very high.

Damn it, you can't trust those Japanese devils!
Fang Yan no longer cared about these things. Today he finally had some free time. After finishing his business in the morning, Fang Yan took his gun and bullets to the Municipal Bureau for registration.

Anton drove to the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Fang Yan carried a tote bag and walked towards the Municipal Bureau.

"Instructor Fang?!" A policeman greeted Fang Yan in surprise.

Fang Yan recognized him as one of his former students and greeted him with a smile:

"Hey, Xiao Shen!"

Upon hearing the sound, a man immediately rushed out from the next office. It was Zhang Zhichao, who had previously served as Fang Yan's bodyguard. He greeted Fang Yan:

"Brother Fang?"

He greeted them with a smile in his local dialect:

"Hey, Xiao Zhang!"

Then, one after another, several people came out to greet Fang Yan.

"Brother Fang, what brings you here?" Xiao Zhang greeted Fang Yan in the office.

Fang Yan put the bag in his hand on the table:
"Pistol, register."

P.S.: I still owe you 2000 words after finishing this chapter.
