Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 837 The Swiss are Foolish and Rich, Come Quickly (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
After chatting for a while longer, the professors and some students prepared to leave.

Fang Yan escorted them downstairs, said goodbye, and then went back upstairs.

Of the people who came earlier, none of those on temporary assignment at Peking Union Medical College Hospital left; they all stayed to keep Fang Yan company.

"Everything's fine now, you can go back and rest. You don't need to stay here with me. Go home and spend the weekend with your families, don't just stand here in the hospital staring at me like that," Fang Yan said to them.

Yang Jingxiang said:
"It's alright, Brother Fang, we can stay here with you and even talk to you."

Zhang Yanchang also said:

"Exactly, it must be so boring for you to be on duty here all by yourself."

Meng Jimin also said:

"That makes sense. There are more of us, so we can talk to each other. But once everyone leaves, who will you talk to here all by yourself?"

Dialectal wave:
"Hey, really, there's no need. You haven't been home for a week, go back now."

At this moment, Deng Nanxing said:

"It's the weekend, and you, as the leader, aren't going home. How can we, the subordinates, stay at home?"

Fang Yan was speechless and said:

"Fine, you can stay if you want."

"Now I'll arrange a shift for you. Each person will be on duty for two hours. After your shift, hurry back."

Everyone was startled.

Then the dialect began to be spoken:
"Deng Nanxing, this is your first shift."

"Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang, you will be on the second and third shifts respectively."

"Old Meng, you're the fourth one."

"Old Fan, you're the fifth one..."

Fang Yan quickly arranged the shifts for everyone.

If you want to stay here now, then let's get down to business.

When the group heard about Fang Yan's work assignment, they didn't have any objections.

The main problem is that apart from Lao Fan, who comes to work every day, the others haven't come to work for a long time. They feel a little uneasy about it, especially since they're about to receive their salaries and feel somewhat guilty.

I have to come back to get off work to feel that I have put in any effort.

As for Chu Qiaonan, this guy now considers himself the largest shareholder of B shares. Plus, he's naturally outgoing, so he quickly struck up a conversation with the people from the dialect group. Everyone was also very interested in his past life, so they listened to him talk about the local customs and culture of other places.

Through this young man, Fang Yan also learned in detail about the situation in other parts of this era.

In particular, when he talked about Switzerland, Fang Yan was especially moved by how this small country had benefited from the world's major financial welfare programs.

It's like making money while lying down.

Compared to Switzerland's financial industry, their country's machinery manufacturing, chemical industry, and watchmaking industry, although also at a world-leading level, are not as profitable as the financial industry.

With this kind of passive income generation, national welfare is greatly guaranteed.

Especially in terms of healthcare, their citizens enjoy high-quality medical services. The government invests heavily in healthcare, and the facilities are advanced, ensuring the health needs of the people.

Chu Qiaonan was making money through traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture without holding back at all. Everyone was shocked when they heard the amount he charged for his treatments.

Everyone sighed:

"No wonder they want to open up the Swiss market. These people are so rich. It would be an injustice not to earn their foreign exchange!"

Chu Qiaonan nodded and said:

"That's right. It's not just Switzerland; most countries in Europe have good welfare systems. We don't just want to make money from Switzerland; we also want to find ways to make money from other countries. The more markets we open up, the more money we can make, and the better the welfare benefits will be for everyone."

"So how's it going on your end in Switzerland?" Meng Jimin asked.

Chu Qiaonan said with a smile:

"You've come to the right place. The preliminary work has been completed, and we're just waiting for the goods to be shipped out."

At this moment, Zhang Yanchang asked:

"If we send the goods over without actually going there ourselves, won't we get scammed?"

Chu Qiaonan said:
"Of course not. We have plenty of people in Switzerland, and this business has potential. Any partner who isn't stupid would never do something like this."

Next, he began explaining the three business sales models of direct selling, distribution, and agency sales to people who had never been involved in this industry before... Fang Yan listened to him without saying a word.

There are many more business models for the future, such as agents, group buying, leasing, telephone sales, and television sales. Chu Qiaonan only mentioned the three simplest models.

However, it's clear from his conversation that he didn't stay in Switzerland for nothing; he had connections with local officials, wealthy people, and chambers of commerce while receiving medical treatment there.

Although it doesn't have the deep and complex network of connections that Li Chengzhu has, this matter is still almost certain to succeed.

Chu Qiaonan treated this as his shareholders' meeting, explaining his plans clearly to each of the B-share minority shareholders.

He also shared his analysis of the demand for medical products in the Swiss market.

The first category is pain management.

This type of medication is needed for some types of rheumatoid arthritis that are common in the Alps, as well as skiing injuries.

The second category is chronic disease management.

For example, diabetes and high blood pressure.

The third category is mental health.

Sleep and mood are issues that people in developed countries are very concerned about.

The fourth category is high-end wellness.

This was also how Chu Qiaonan made money in Switzerland before. Wealthy people value their health very much, and the higher the price, the better they think it is. As long as you have these things in your hands and can be recognized by them, wealthy people here are very willing to pay for health.

The fifth category is maternal and infant health.

These days, babies and pregnant women represent a significant market in every country.

Moreover, according to Chu Qiaonan's analysis, he said that in 1978, the Swiss medical market was in a window of opportunity for transformation from chemical drugs to natural therapies. With the support of "millennial ancient Eastern wisdom", traditional Chinese medicine products had a high probability of successfully entering the high-end health consumption field, laying the foundation for subsequent expansion in the European market.

He believes that this precise positioning will enable their Chinese medicine products to become the biggest dark horse in the Western alternative medicine market in Switzerland.

As expected of someone from a merchant family, his storytelling ability is quite impressive, with a whole repertoire of witty remarks.

Although none of the products have been sold yet.

But this did not diminish his ability to boost everyone's confidence.

Time flies, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Last night, because everyone took turns on duty, Fangyan only stayed until midnight.

After I got up this morning, I went to check on Mr. Gao Wenhong, and he was completely out of danger.

Now, following Professor Yu Chuan's method, Fang Yan has been prescribed a formula to continue conditioning his body.

Next, Fang Yan went to school.

Before going to his internship today, he had to go to the student union to find Xie Chunrong, join the student union, and then get the book that Professor Wang Yuchuan had promised to give him.

When I arrived at the school.

Before Fang Yan could even go to find Xie Chunrong, he was already waiting downstairs at the dormitory.

Although Xie Chunrong is the student union president, it doesn't stop him from calling himself "Brother Fang".

"My teacher already told me about it yesterday."

"They said they wanted you to join the student council, and then they would give you his book."

After speaking, Xie Chunrong took out a list and three books:
"Look, it's all here."

Older students passing by couldn't help but glance at Xie Chunrong, the student council member, who was being so respectful to Fang Yan, a first-year student.

After they understood the dialect, they suddenly realized it made sense.

Recently, many people have attended the dialect sharing class in the freshman "elite class" and know a lot about his level and situation.

This year's top student in first grade, who teaches better than some teachers.

Many people were still taking notes outside while the lectures were being given.

It seems reasonable to expect the student council president to be more respectful.

PS: I've gained another 100 monthly votes, so I still owe you 71000 words after finishing this chapter.

There will be more this afternoon.
