588: Chapter 586: Consortium Control 588: Chapter 586: Consortium Control Upon hearing Li Lao said this, Chen Yang then realized the crux of the matter.

“What can be done?

Surely there must be another way?” Chen Yang looked at Li Lao, hoping to see if Li Lao could think of any method to help solve his problem.

Sensing Chen Yang’s gaze, Li Lao understood what Chen Yang meant and thus replied, “There is a way, but the chances of success are not great.”

“What method?”

Upon hearing a method existed, Chen Yang no longer cared about the odds and immediately asked what it was.

“The method is to proactively seek cooperation with a consortium that has pharmaceutical factories.

You provide the funding while the other party provides the technology.

That way, the problem will be solved.” Li Lao answered.

“To cooperate with a consortium?” Chen Yang paused.

“Yes, that’s the only way to resolve this issue, otherwise, trying to set up a pharmaceutical factory on your own is not very realistic,” Li Lao said calmly, nodding.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang fell silent at that moment.

Seeing Chen Yang’s hesitation, Li Lao then said, “You go back and think it over.

I know people in this field, and if you still want to continue with the pharmaceutical factory and are interested in cooperation, I can help you get in touch with the relevant consortia.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang nodded.

The best thing to do now was to think it over: “Alright, I’ll think about it myself.”

“Heh, okay then, let’s stop thinking about this for now.

You don’t get to visit often, so let’s have some tea and chat.

Lately, I’ve been pondering over acupuncture and have encountered quite a few problems I wanted to discuss with you…” After finishing the discussion about the pharmaceutical factory, Li Lao suddenly laughed, poured a cup of tea for Chen Yang, and wanted to have a chat with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was naturally very willing to do so.

Every time he came over, it was to seek Li Lao’s help, and now that Li Lao had issues he wanted to consult about, he was certainly eager to provide answers.

The two sat opposite each other at the coffee table, sipping tea and chatting, and the morning passed in no time.

As noon approached, Chen Yang was about to get up and leave, but Li Lao asked him to stay for a meal.

Unable to refuse such generosity, Chen Yang stayed.

“Haha, good, this noon let’s drink a couple of cups.

I haven’t drunk in a long time.” Chen Yang’s arrival made Li Lao very happy.

It was as if he was seeing a long-lost friend, and he even wanted to have a drink with Chen Yang.

“Hehe.” Chen Yang laughed lightly: “You are my elder, I’ll listen to you.”

“Hahahaha, well then, that’s settled,” Li Lao laughed heartily and then turned his head toward the upstairs, shouting, “My dear, cook a couple more dishes and prepare some wine for lunch; Chen Yang is here.”

“Yang Zi is here?

Okay then, I’ll get cooking right now.” Upon hearing this, Li Lao’s wife was initially surprised then immediately agreed cheerfully.

Hearing the joyful voices coming from upstairs, Li Lao turned back to Chen Yang and shook his head with a wry smile: “Well, today is also the day you are here, otherwise she definitely wouldn’t allow me to drink.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang also burst into laughter.

He hadn’t expected that Li Lao was under the thumb as well?

“Let’s go, let’s go upstairs and sit down; we can continue chatting,” Li Lao said, waving his hand and leading Chen Yang upstairs.

Once upstairs, Chen Yang and Li Lao chatted for a while, but it wasn’t long before Li Lao’s wife brought the food and drinks to the table.

Although Chen Yang frequently dealt with Li Lao, he had only briefly encountered Li Lao’s wife once.

At that time, Li Lao’s wife had just woken up and hadn’t spoken much, so there wasn’t much understanding between them.

The two of them were still somewhat awkward around each other.

However, after a brief acquaintance, they quickly became more comfortable with each other.

Li Lao’s wife was a dignified and amiable woman, whose tone of voice and some small details made everyone feel very comfortable.

“No wonder you let Li Lao be whipped, madam, you are very outstanding indeed.”

Chen Yang mentally complimented Mrs.

Li and then happily started drinking with Old Li.

The two of them sat at a table like father and son, drinking, discussing the pharmaceutical factory, medicine, and acupuncture.

Before long, the meal was over.

Seeing they had nearly drunk enough and any more would start to affect them, Chen Yang stood up, “Old Li, we’ve drunk quite a bit already, I should get going.

There are some things to take care of in the village.”

Chen Yang wanted to leave, but Old Li still looked like he wasn’t ready to end their time together!

“Don’t rush off.

What could you possibly have to do?

Sit down and chat for a bit longer; I seldom feel this happy.” Old Li, with a slightly flushed face, waved at Chen Yang, signaling him to sit back down.

“Give it a rest, Yang Zi actually has important things to do, unlike you, a retired old man who has plenty of free time.” Before Chen Yang could reply, Mrs.

Li gave Old Li a stern look.

Old Li instantly quieted down, not speaking anymore, only gazing at Chen Yang with his eyes.

His look was self-explanatory, clearly wishing for Chen Yang to stay, but he didn’t dare to ask directly.

Seeing Old Li wanting to speak but holding back, Chen Yang almost burst into laughter and couldn’t hold it back.

“I really do have things to take care of today, how about I come another time and we drink properly then?” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Yang Zi, you go ahead, don’t mind him, don’t let him delay your important matters,” Mrs.

Li gave Old Li another stern look.

Old Li didn’t say a word.

Chen Yang smiled at Old Li, then turned to Mrs.

Li and nodded, “Then I’ll be taking my leave, madam.

Next time I have a chance, I’ll come visit you both again.”

“Hehe, alright.”

Mrs.

Li nodded her head kindly and then walked Chen Yang to the store front.

After watching Chen Yang drive away, she turned back and entered the shop.

Leaving Old Li’s Chinese medicine shop, Chen Yang drove straight to see Li Han.

After last night’s event, logic would dictate that Li Han should be resting in bed, but when Chen Yang walked into the office, he found that she had already gotten out of bed and was sitting at her desk working.

“Weren’t you supposed to rest well?

Why have you started working again?”

Chen Yang frowned, his tone filled with concern.

Hearing the voice, Li Han looked up, and seeing it was Chen Yang, a sweet smile appeared on her face, “I’m fine now.

Always lying in bed made me uncomfortable; sitting up feels a bit better.”

After speaking, Li Han quickly changed the subject, “By the way, you just came from Old Li’s place, right?

What does he think about you starting a pharmaceutical factory?”

Chen Yang was initially going to scold Li Han, but seeing that her complexion appeared genuinely normal, he let it slide.

Instead, he sat down on the sofa and gave an overview of Old Li’s opinions.

After listening to Chen Yang’s description, Li Han’s face showed surprise, “Is it really that difficult?

Are talents in the pharmaceutical field really that precious?”

Chen Yang nodded, “Yes, they really are very precious.”

“So what do you plan to do next?

Follow Old Li’s advice, or just give it up?” Li Han got up from her desk and sat next to Chen Yang.

At that moment, her expression was somewhat troubled, clearly not expecting it to be so difficult.

“I haven’t decided yet; I’ll let you know once I’ve thought it through,” Chen Yang furrowed his brows as well.

“Alright then, once you’ve figured it out, remember to tell me.

If you decide to continue, I can also help inquire around; maybe I can be of some assistance,” Li Han said.

“Mm-hmm.” Chen Yang nodded and leaned back on the sofa.

Li Han looked at Chen Yang for a moment, then got up and went back to work.
