Chapter 297: Chapter 297: The Third Pharmaceutical Factory

After returning to the office at the factory, Chen Yu still felt full of gloom.He had originally thought that the industrial park had already formed a unique operational system, but to his surprise, there were still so many trifling matters.

Especially today's bunch, they were just a group of unseemly characters. Even if he informed the relevant departments to have them all arrested, it wouldn't be too much.

But the problem was, these people could not really be dealt with effectively; at most, they caused a public disturbance, and after being detained for a couple of days, they would be released again.

If they kept making trouble endlessly, it would cause huge losses for the entire factory area.

Hou Jianchang leaned back in his chair, his face etched with world-weary helplessness.

"Old Chen, a tall tree catches the wind. We already have one industrial park, and if we were to annex another piece of land, those who envy us in the dark will jump out, like the thugs today. Can you guarantee there isn't someone behind them pulling the strings?"

Chen Yu sat there silently. His first thought was of Chu Jianghe.

This guy had just arrived in Suzhou City, eager to seize Suzhou's business resources. Moreover, as these factories were once on Chu Jianghe's radar, it wouldn't be surprising for him to meddle behind the scenes.

But then he thought again, although Chu Jianghe was ruthless, he had a big picture mindset; he wouldn't be so desperate as to send a bunch of old gangsters to cause trouble.

"Old Hou, be extra careful during this period. Also, ask the security department to recruit more people, preferably ex-military personnel."

Hou Jianchang took out his mobile phone, which displayed the recruitment information he had just sent out, roughly similar to what Chen Yu had suggested.

As the two were talking, several large trucks slowly entered the factory area.

"Old Chen, the machines you asked for are ready, come down and take a look. Some parts may not be done perfectly."

Upon hearing Zhang Fan's shout, Chen Yu immediately brightened up, the gloominess on his face gone as if swept away.

He hurried downstairs and rushed to the trucks, grabbing a component and carefully caressing it.

This thing was supposed to be made of special steel and had been forged and tempered several times. It seemed that Zhang Fan had truly put his heart into it, and each component's catch was made extremely ingeniously.

Now, they just needed to install the core components, and these machines could start operating immediately.

"Old Zhang, thank you so much. I'll give you an extra 10 percent profit for these machines as we agreed before. We've got a lot more cooperation ahead of us."

Zhang Fan shook his head though: "Old Chen, you're smacking my face by doing this. Ever since your shop opened, we've been partners, and how many profits have you given me just for the machinery? Now I've got my own repair company. I don't even need the extra profit."

Chen Yu didn't say much, just smiled and forcefully stuffed a prepared check into Zhang Fan's hand, refusing to let go regardless of how much Zhang Fan tried to decline.

Having no choice, Zhang Fan finally accepted it, then instructed his workers to move the assembled machines into the factory.

The pharmaceutical factory was originally called Zhonghe Pharmaceutical Factory, but it was renamed to Third Pharmaceutical Factory when it came into Chen Yu's hands.

This factory was also the largest one under Chen Yu's management, and it was his experimental site for producing pre-manufactured drug packs.

The first batch of machines was also custom-designed for this factory.

Once all the machines were moved in and assembly was complete, Chen Yu took the opportunity while nobody was paying attention to let the system install the core components.

With all the machines started, the entire production line also came into operation. The factory workers, who had been waiting, came over to familiarize themselves with the performance of the machines and soon took over the controls.

After all, they were skilled workers, and some had even worked for over a decade as veteran employees.

These might seem like ordinary pharmaceutical factory workers, but to some extent, they were nearly akin to doctors. Making pre-manufactured drug packs was second nature to them.

In less than two hours, the first batch of finished products reached Chen Yu's hands.

He carefully checked the characteristics of the drug packs and also tested the components in the lab to ensure there were no issues before allowing the batch to be packaged.

This first shipment had already been reserved by the nursing home, and Zhou Shengtao had personally given the nod, so Chen Yu couldn't afford the slightest negligence.

When he sent out the shipment, it was already eight o'clock at night.

Chen Yu had originally planned to return home, as he had been away too long on missions.

But once the machines started, they couldn't be stopped easily, so he had no choice but to stay and input several new drug formulations planned into the system and distribute the raw materials.

The medicine he brought back this time was enough to produce hundreds of thousands of pre-manufactured drug packs, so there was no need to procure raw materials for a month.

Still, by the time he finished everything, it was already midnight.

Fortunately, Hou Jianchang had already established a training program within the factory to cultivate leaders at various levels.

As Chen Yu organized everything in the Third Pharmaceutical Factory, Hou Jianchang had arranged for a few people to learn all the processes by Chen Yu's side.

By the time Chen Yu had finished organizing everything, these individuals had grasped the key points and were ready to commence production.

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If this had been in the past, he would've needed to explain the use of the machines and the processes meticulously to the day and night shift workers. Now, everything had been simplified.

However, Hou Jianchang's appearance made Chen Yu feel an inexplicable guilt.

When he first met Hou Jianchang, although he had gone bankrupt, he still seemed spirited.

But now, not only had his hair turned completely white, but even his forehead was full of wrinkles.

Releasing a sigh, Chen Yu walked up to Hou Jianchang and patted him on the shoulder.

"Old Hou, this time I brought back a type of insect from Nanyun that's good for you. Want to take a look?"

Hou Jianchang hesitated. After all, new machines had just arrived, and the workers were still getting the hang of them. He needed to arrange the specific tasks with the new factory managers and staff.

Chen Yu could see what Hou Jianchang meant and grabbed his shoulder, leading him out of the factory area.

"I heard your ancestors were from Nanyun, and you can't live without those exotic items at every meal. So I brought this especially for you. You can't let me lose face."

Saying so, Chen Yu directly pulled Hou Jianchang into the car and headed straight for the restaurant.

Ever since the restaurant moved into the building, its business had grown by more than tenfold.

Chu Hong and the original waitstaff each took up a stall, blending new operating models into the original restaurant format.
