Chapter 477 - Department Heads



Chapter 477 Department Heads

Ding Ning did not know what Mayor Du thought, and even if he knew it, he would not explain it.

He was not as sophisticated as Mayor Du thought, and he sincerely wanted to ask him to help with the drug test.

Since he knew that it would take seven or eight years for a general new drug to come out, he had planned to look for someone to help shorten the time, but he had no such relationships, so he delayed the decision-making.

Just when mayor Du came to negotiate with him on behalf of the state, he clearly thought of asking him for help, but did not slightly mean to show his self-worth in front of the Central Agency bosses.

Unlike Mayor Du, who had a long experience in the officialdom and was skilled at guessing the intentions of his superiors, he did not think that his condition was so excessive that it would make the Central Agency bosses unhappy. “How can those who have reached the pinnacle of national power not even have such a little magnanimity?”

Therefore, he did not think about the complexity of this matter at all. At home, he authorized domestic production and affordable sales, so that the civilians could use safe and affordable drugs and get rid of the dependence on Western medicine; abroad, he controlled overseas agency rights and suppressed Western pharmaceutical giants, allowing the Rice Bean Oral Solution to invade the Western markets and earn foreigner’s money. As for doing so, he had his own concerns and arrangements.

He intended to support the companies of some overseas Shenzhou people to obtain the Rice Bean Oral Solution. On the one hand, he could earn some money from the foreigners; on the other hand, he could promote the culture of Shenzhou, so that foreigners could also realize the magic of traditional medicine and subtly accept the culture of Shenzhou. This could also be regarded as an anti-cultural invasion campaign.

Mayor Du, who had obtained the negotiation result and the assimilation drug, did not stay long. After a few words of chatting, he left ahead of time and did not even let Xu Minglu see him off because he had to rush back to report the result to his superior departments.

When Mayor Du was present, Ding Ning did not care, but Xu Minglu had been restraining himself a bit. Now when he left, the atmosphere became active.

With a drunken red face, Xu Minglu chatted with Ding Ning about any topic coming to their minds as he drank joyfully.

Fortunately, as a leader’s secretary, his self-control was still very strong. Although Mayor Du gave him a half-day off, he did not crazily indulge himself in drinking. When he felt that he was about to get drunk, he immediately stopped drinking and asked someone to make a pot of tea to cure his hangover. When he left the restaurant and parted with Ding Ning, much of his drunkenness had gone.

Ding Ning was happy to accept Xu Minglu’s kindness to him. In fact, he knew that people in the officialdom had complicated minds, and he could not build close relationships with them. They usually seemed to be as nice as his brothers, but when he was down, if they did not hurt him, they were benevolent enough.

Therefore, he had an accurate assessment of Xu Minglu’s attitude toward him. They were friends who got on well by using each other, but it was impossible for them to become close friends, let alone involve any profits.

Xu Minglu was not a fool, either. Obviously, he could feel the faint alienation beneath Ding Ning’s enthusiasm, but he did not mind. After all, he worked in the officialdom and clearly knew the essence of chasing the good and avoiding the harm. It was destined that they could not be close friends who could talk about anything, and he was very satisfied to maintain the ostensible friendship.

He had been persisting in maintaining a good relationship with Ding Ning for three reasons: Firstly, he realized that Ding Ning had a promising future; secondly, Ding Ning helped him in the past; thirdly, Mayor Du valued Ding Ning very much.

With the three preconditions in his mind, he knew that getting on well with Ding Ning was absolutely beneficial and harmless.

After stopping a taxi and seeing Xu Minglu off, Ding Ning who had drunk did not feel like driving and left his car in the restaurant’s parking lot. This place was not far from Shengtang Group, so he was going to go there to take a walk and get rid of some drunkenness by the way.

With Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang’s students and their students’ students getting the qualification of the anaesthetist of traditional Chinese medicine, they had taken the lead in applying traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia to daily diagnosis and treatment in their individual clinics and gained a good reputation.

What followed was that some traditional Chinese medicine anaesthetists had been hired at high salaries at different hospitals as full-time anaesthetists. Unfortunately, there were only 1,000 people who were qualified as traditional Chinese medicine anaesthetists. Since they were even in short supply at the Ninghai local hospitals, the second batch of doctors who had not finished their training had to be allowed to enter hospitals as interns under the leadership of those anaesthetists who had obtained the qualification.

This led to a rapid increase in the market demand for the strength instrument, and numerous orders for the strength instrument from Shengtang International Medical Instrument Company had also arrived.

Ling Fei immediately contacted Xia Ziyu, asking him to make the best use of his time to expand production, so that the latter could not shut his mouth because of joy and kept boasting of his high perspicacity in front of his beautiful female secretary.

Ding Ning sat on Ling Fei’s office sofa, drinking tea and listening to him talking about the company.

At present, Shengtang International Pharmaceutical Company and Shengtang International Medical Instrument Company had merged into one. Previously, they were unclear about the situation and specifically set up two companies. In fact, they only needed to add one business project within the business scope.

If it was divided into two companies, they had to prepare the financial statements and accounts of the two companies. In addition, they would have to pay two pieces of taxes and waste large amounts of human resources.

Therefore, with the suggestion of their financial director Chu Yunxiu, the two companies became one—Shengtang Medical Company, and the medical instrument project was added to its business category.

Ding Ning, who had never engaged in business, had no idea about this. Anyway, he would not doubt those whom he hired or hire those whom he doubted, so he allowed Uncle Ling to operate the business in any form that he thought it was convenient.

According to his report, the recruitment of Shengtang Medical Company had now been completed. The headquarters of the company, in which there were 376 employees in total, was divided into seven departments: Sales department, network department, finance department, personnel department, marketing department, customer service department, and production department.

The seven departments were responsible for their respective functions. It was needless to speak more about the finance department and the personnel department. The network department was mainly responsible for making the official website for the company and maintaining its computers; the marketing department was mainly responsible for conducting market research, formulating marketing plans, and planning advertisements; the production department was mainly responsible for managing the pharmaceutical factories under the leadership of the company; the customer service department was a department that was fully responsible for handling customer feedback and dealt with public relations crisis in the meantime; the sales department was responsible for fulfilling distribution, warehousing, transportation, sales, orders, and other responsibilities.

The framework of the company had been made, but what troubled Ling Fei was that the heads of these departments were still undecided. After all, Shengtang Medical Company was a new company, so the capable elites with experience would not apply for the new company, while those who came for the heads did not have sufficient qualifications, experience, or abilities.

Currently, the company that only sold the strength instrument could barely maintain normal operation, but once its business volume was expanded, problems would surely surface.

Ling Fei was so worried that he was going to pay headhunting companies high salaries to recruit qualified employees. Hearing this, Ding Ning had an idea. Zhang Haifeng studied marketing, and Wu Xian majored in computer science, and they could just serve as the heads of the two departments. As for work experience or something, that was not his consideration, for he absolutely believed in the capabilities of these two brothers.

Thinking of this, he waved at Ling Fei who was complaining and said. “I’ll find a solution.”

Immediately, he took out his cellphone and called Zhang Haifeng. “Second Brother, I remember your major is marketing, right?”

“Right, Big Brother, I haven’t seen you for a long time, but I’ve heard that you are now an executive. If you can spare time to come to our school, let’s have a party, but I don’t think you deserve to be our big brother...”

As soon as Zhang Haifeng answered the phone, he started talking endlessly. Giving a wry smile, Ding Ning interrupted him and asked, “Don’t talk. Let me ask you, will you have a company to join after graduation?”

“How could I land a job so easily? Nowadays, even when master-degree students graduate, they cannot land a good job they like so easily? What? Are you going to land a job for me? What is the salary? I won’t go if it is little.”

Zhang Haifeng joked.

“What about Wu Xian?”

Ding Ning did not feel like caring about this idiot and asked directly.

“Not yet, probably. He is making his resume, ready to get a good job. After that, he will have the condition to propose a marriage to Xiaoyu’s family.”

Just as Zhang Haifeng finished his mischievous words, Ding Ning heard that Wu Xian was annoyed and angry and went to fight him in a playful way.

Ding Ning had a smile. “Second Brother and Third brother, if you are free now, rush to Shengtang Medical Company on Jinling Road for an interview, immediately.”

“Shengtang Medical Company? I haven’t heard of it! Is it big? What’s the salary? I won’t work there if the payment is less than 5,000 a month.”

Zhang Haifeng muttered suspiciously.

“Don’t talk nonsense! Come or not, just tell me. This is my company.”

Ding Ning got a headache from his muttering and scolded him angrily.

“Wait, Big Brother, did you say that Shengtang Medical Company is your company?”

Zhang Haifeng shivered but became serious immediately.

“Uh, I have shares. It can be regarded as my company, but I’m not the CEO, and an uncle of mine is.”

So impulsive, Ding Ning leaked the information, but it didn’t matter because he had nothing to hide from his brother.

“Big Brother, you are so mysterious! No problem, Third Brother and I are now going... Hey, Brother, please wait, and Third Brother has something to tell you.”

Zhang Haifeng was about to hang up but suddenly shouted again.

“Third Brother, what’s the matter?”

Ding Ning spoke to Wu Xian in a much more moderate tone.

“Big Brother, uh, uh, do you have more unoccupied positions?”

Wu Xian faltered, with some kind of awkward feeling.

“Give me, and let me talk to Big Brother.”

Stunned, Ding Ning was thinking about his intention, but Zhang Haifeng’s voice came from the phone. “By the way, Big Brother, Third Brother and I have the same idea. Do you have more unoccupied positions? You know that your two sisters-in-law are graduating next year. Now, apart from studying some topics with their tutors, they usually have nothing to do, so they want to be interns in some company.”

“Oh, that’s great. I’m short of hands. By the way, what are the majors of Liu Wenjing and Xiaoyu?”

Ding Ning was not shocked but happy and asked instantly. The truth was that Liu Wenjing and Xiaoyu were both brilliant postgraduates. Although they lacked experience, they were absolutely capable, and they were all his close friends and were absolutely trustworthy.

“Both Wenjing and I major in marketing, and Xiaoyu studies business management.”

Zhang Haifeng’s answer made Ding Ning overjoyed. “That’s great! Call them both, and come immediately. I’ll be here waiting for you guys, and I’ll send you a text message with the full address.”

“Okay, we will go with them.”

Zhang Haifeng said happily because being able to work with his girlfriend refreshed his spirits, and Wu Xian also smiled. Recently, his love with Xiaoyu had improved a lot gradually. Since they were in deep love, they were unwilling to leave each other for a moment and even wished to stay together all the time.

“Third Brother, Big Brother has just opened the new company. How much do you think Big Brother can pay us?”

Zhang Haifeng asked with some worry as he dialed a number.

Wu Xian rolled his eyes. “We are going to help Big Brother, so how can we care about the salary?”

“I know. If it were both of us, we would not need to care about that, but Wenjing and Xiaoyu will also go, and we can’t force them to only think about our brotherhood code but care nothing about money?”

Zhang Haifeng said with a headache.

Wu Xian scratched his head. “Don’t care about that. Let’s talk about it when we reach there. Anyway, I don’t think Big Brother will treat us poorly. At most, we will give our salaries to Wenjing and Xiaoyu.”

“Okay, that’s the deal.”

Zhang Haifeng nodded but then put on a broad smile that would give others goosebumps. “Darling, where are you?”

“So disgusting!”

Wu Xian shivered and pursed his lips. This guy was so disgusting that he even got goosebumps all over, but he called Xiaoyu with a happy smile and said, “My baby, where are you?”
