Aim for High Ambitions

"Your company is surprisingly professional..." Zhou Qi looked at the one car and four people who had come out.

Adding his own car and three people, a total of eight people were dispatched!

Yes, Yan Yun was sitting in their car.

"Two financial auditors, one lawyer, and one of my superiors..." Yan Yun smiled, "This is the standard configuration!"

Zhou Qi nodded, feeling that something was off.

That's right, it was because of the world.

It wasn't that Earth lacked Spiritual Energy, but when he was in the One Piece world, he was so talented and eloquent that he left Smoker speechless, could make Tannis directly accept his price, and even Koshiro was so stunned by his words that he passed on all his knowledge to him.

But in modern times, there were too many talents here. Yan Yun, just an employee of a consulting company, could handle all his problems, and her professionalism, IQ, and EQ were subtly suppressing him...

"What's your educational background, Yan Yun?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

"Oh, I have a Ph.D. in Theoretical Economics from South China University..." Yan Yun said calmly.

Holy crap...

"You're a Ph.D.?" Zhou Qi's eyes widened, "You're a Ph.D. working in sales?"

"Uh..." Yan Yun was speechless, "Although my business card says 'Client Manager,' our profession should be called 'Information Consultant,' which is quite different from sales..."

"But..." Zhou Qi glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Zhou Yibing, who was driving, also had a look of shock, which made him feel much more balanced. So, you're shocked too.

Yes, although it seemed like you couldn't even say hello online without a Master's or Ph.D., in reality, Zhou Qi had never met a Master's degree holder in his life, let alone a Ph.D.

He had actually always thought of Yan Yun as someone with a junior college degree and Linlang Consulting as a small agency. Now that he thought about it, he realized something was wrong.

What kind of small agency had so much power that it could communicate with a pharmaceutical company worth over a hundred million yuan on one hand and contact the local government on the other?

This company even employed certified public accountants and lawyers!

"My educational background isn't much in the company. Our founder, Li Can, graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and obtained dual degrees in Economics and Business Administration from Stanford University. After graduation, he joined DeBilter Consulting and worked his way up to the position of General Manager for Greater China..."

"Wait, isn't that an old Singaporean man?" Zhou Qi asked, "What's his name, Li Shanghe?"

"Uh..." Yan Yun's tone faltered, "Well, that company was indeed a shell company we sold. After all, in the information consulting industry, clients trust those old brands and believe they have rich experience, extensive connections, and great influence. But this is China. Even foreign brands with a century-old history, how much more advantage could they have than us?"

Zhou Qi nodded, he could understand this point very well.

Traders claimed to have factories, factories claimed to be old brands, and old brands claimed to have inherited their legacy from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Everyone did this.

"But you can rest assured about our capabilities. Since our company was founded, we have cooperated with thousands of companies in all of East Guangdong. We have handled matters like company acquisitions many times, and we are very experienced!"

Zhou Qi continued to nod.

"Our goal is to become the miHoYo of the information consulting industry..."

"Wait?" Zhou Qi suddenly felt something was wrong, "The industry's what?"

"MiHoYo?" Yan Yun saw Zhou Qi's confused look and explained, "Oh, if you don't play games, you might not know. It's a game company, but their business model, corporate culture, and even internal employee management are recognized by many information consulting companies."

"If you don't know miHoYo, you must know Tencent and NetEase, right? If it were ten years ago, if anyone said a company could defeat them both in gaming, I don't think anyone would believe it, but now? That company has emerged. Talent in the gaming industry has reached a point where they choose miHoYo first, and others only if miHoYo isn't available..." Yan Yun sighed, "This kind of talent attraction is like Huawei's attraction of mathematics and electronics talent. Imagine, the top talent in the entire industry concentrated in one company, how terrifying that would be..."

"So our goal is to make information consulting talent in China choose Linlang as their first choice when looking for a job, and then other companies!"

Actually, mentioning miHoYo in China can be seen as low-class, as the company has a poor reputation online. Yan Yun only dared to say this because she saw Zhou Qi as a rational person and relatively young.

If she were talking to an older person, she would say they aimed to be the Huawei of the industry.

There were many things they could learn from miHoYo, and they even had specialized courses internally, but there was no need to tell Zhou Qi. After all, if Zhou Qi really learned them, how would their Linlang make any money?

"Then tell me, how should our pharmaceutical industry develop?" Zhou Qi certainly knew miHoYo, but only in terms of Genshin Impact, and he was not aware of its influence in the industry.

But selling medicine and anime characters seemed to have no reference point.

He couldn't just print anime girls on medicine bottles and call it high EQ, right?

"In the pharmaceutical industry, developing new drugs is naturally the most profitable. However, due to the large investment of capital and talent required, Chinese pharmaceutical companies have rarely achieved success in this area. In general, everyone is still mainly focused on generic drugs, even the top-ranked pharmaceutical companies..." Yan Yun said, "But generic drugs are not simple either. Even after a drug's patent expires, to perfectly replicate it while ensuring efficacy and minimizing side effects still requires a lot of talent..."

"With Baofeng's scale and talent pool, it should focus on acquiring generic technology from major manufacturers, gradually expanding its scale, absorbing talent, and then moving towards becoming a first-tier generic drug manufacturer..."

Zhou Qi understood. Yan Yun was being polite. To put it plainly, your Baofeng pharmaceutical factory lacks talent and is small in scale. Don't even think about developing your own drugs. You don't have the ability to replicate first-tier drugs. Just honestly purchase the obsolete technology and production lines from major manufacturers...

He scratched his head. Zhou Qi was quite unwilling to accept this. Although running a pharmaceutical factory was like picking up money, he didn't really want to just slack off like this. Otherwise, wouldn't he become another Tencent or Alibaba!

Moreover, no matter how much money such low-end manufacturers made, they would still be considered insignificant companies in the eyes of the country and the people.

Like rice, Lenovo.

No matter how much money they made, without their own core technology, they would still not gain everyone's recognition. The Americans next door didn't even bother to sanction them!

Zhou Qi didn't want to be such a company.

He learned in elementary school that one should aim high!

No talent? He couldn't recruit academicians, but he could recruit professors and doctors, and he would pay them handsomely.

What to research?

Research the strange flowers and exotic herbs, or medicinal recipes from the One Piece world.

Traditional Chinese medicine formulas were useless; the patents were all registered by the Japanese. But no one had registered the medicinal recipes from the One Piece world.

And on the One Piece side, there are two doctors who are idle at home. One is the One Piece's ship doctor, Crocus, and the other is the nearly two-hundred-year-old doctor, Doriel. I'll recruit them later. If we can't research new medicine?

From now on, I am the miHoYo of the pharmaceutical industry!

"Hmph!" Zhou Qi glanced at Yan Yun and said, "Brother Bing, sing a song!"

"How vast is the world, let it be boundless."

After listening for a long time, Yan Yun sighed, "Brother Bing, your playlist has a strong prairie flavor!"

"Right? My favorite singer is Dao Lang. Let me play you a 'West Sea Love Song'."
