My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!

Chapter 434: Chapter 289: Who’s Real, Who’s Fake?

"The increase in power consumption can be due to equipment aging, which underscores the necessity of updating and upgrading even more.

Professor Zheng from the research institute has also started getting into work mode recently, carrying out scientific research for new projects. It’s normal for scientific research to have higher demands on computing power.

Tell the data center not to make a big fuss; it’s a normal phenomenon brought about by our company’s technical upgrades.

In a little while, I will invite an external company to perform an online system optimization on both our internal corporate management system and our production management system.

Have the staff maintain the equipment well, and they don’t need to worry about the rest."

System optimization? And online?

In this day and age, for such a massive task as installing a corporate system, IT companies don’t even need to send people over?

Has the Internet of Things really become that pervasive?

Manager Jiang didn’t really understand computer technology. Since Chairman Gao seemed to have everything arranged, he naturally couldn’t offer any suggestions.

But he felt somewhat perplexed.

Why did Chairman Gao seem so concerned about the data center’s affairs, even handling the selection of a software company personally?

Hmm! That’s a key point!

Chairman Gao’s actions were inscrutable, and this move might have a deeper meaning...

Now he felt more than ever that Gao Yuan... or rather, the power behind her, had an unfathomable air.

You don’t have to mention other things. The rumors about Xu Jingsong last time haven’t settled yet, and I hear he ran into trouble again these past days.

Because... Xu Bonian was in a car accident!

The word is that he’s still in the hospital for treatment, and it’s unclear whether he’s alive or dead.

As the Xu Group’s largest shareholder and current chairman, Xu Bonian is undoubtedly Xu Jingsong’s biggest backer.

If he were to die, that would be a massive blow to Xu Jingsong.

Whether he can retain his position as the president of the Xu Group is uncertain.

While Xu Jingsong has been stabbing Gao Yuan in the back, causing overt and covert trouble for Changqing Biological, she seems unfazed as if nothing happened, and Changqing Biological’s performance is still soaring.

But Xu Jingsong’s own side has been facing endless problems; it’s like he’s been cursed, one trouble after another.

Manager Jiang wasn’t sure, but he had a vague suspicion that Gao Yuan’s shadow loomed behind all this...

As for the car accident, whether it was Chairman Gao’s handiwork...

I wouldn’t dare to say, I wouldn’t dare to ask.

But my respect for her has only increased...

Gao Yuan, unaware that the inexplicable car accident had been blamed on her, was going through the documents in her hand when she suddenly frowned.

After looking for a moment, she picked up the document and asked,

"Manager Jiang, have you seen this financial plan report from Bai Yu Pharmaceutical?"

Manager Jiang’s expression turned serious, "Yes, Chairman Gao, I was just about to report this to you. It seems that Chairman Bai of Bai Yu Pharmaceutical thinks he can bully us because his store is bigger..."

Bai Yu Pharmaceutical was one of the first batch of five upstream suppliers that Gao Yuan had carefully selected and decided to invest in.

Investing in the upstream supply chain was one of Gao Yuan’s plans for Changqing Biological’s expansion.

Without significant improvements in product competitiveness, relying on temporary boosts from trending searches to increase performance is unrealistic for greatly expanding market share.

Therefore, on the one hand, Gao Yuan was waiting for a technological breakthrough, but this was not something that could happen overnight.

On the other hand, of course, it meant leveraging her expertise in capital maneuvering for territorial expansion...

To build a top 500 global pharmaceutical group, strength in just one aspect of the competition is not enough.

Even if you reign supreme in one area, you will eventually face various competitors’ blockades and even malicious competition.

Just like those small companies that are forcibly acquired by big factories.

Are they incompetent? It’s just that they’ve been choked by monopolistic enterprises.

If they deny you resources, you can’t even sell your products; that’s a monopoly!

Therefore, building an independent industrial chain ecosystem, establishing an interest group centered around Changqing Biological, is the foundation to stand firm in the medical industry, or even... to become the foundation of a new monopoly.

Granted, talking about a complete industrial chain ecosystem seems a bit ambitious given Changqing Biological’s current size, but Gao Yuan’s vision has never been limited to the present...

Moreover, investing in upstream suppliers has a more tangible significance.

If the technology given by Meng Lang is really as unparalleled as he claims,

She intends not only to take over the profits from her segment of "finished drug manufacturing" but also to consume the profits of both the upstream and downstream!

Even before the funds were in place, Gao Yuan had already started planning and negotiating in earnest.

In the past days, she was incredibly busy, spending a significant portion of her time on investigations related to several enterprises and negotiating investment terms.

Once the 500-million bank loan was released and the urgent funding issue resolved, Gao Yuan immediately signed investment agreements with these five companies.

"Ha! We invested 5 million to acquire a 10% stake in them, with an agreement that it was for upgrading production lines and enhancing the quality of supplies to Changqing Biological.

And what does he do? His marketing expenses skyrocket by 3 million next month..."

Gao Yuan scoffed.

Everyone knows those marketing expenses are rife with fraud.

Why are the relatives of corporate leaders so keen on starting advertising companies?
