Chapter 126 A Series of Strange Things (1/2)
”Out of here?” Su Ya asked in surprise.
Ning Tao explained, ”I know it's a little sudden, but this is other's company, and we can't stay here forever. But don't worry. I've found a place, just in the Sword Pavilion Village where the new orphanage will be built. It has picturesque scenery. You must be comfortable there.”
”Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!” Su Ya was inexplicably excited and shouted, ”Boys and girls, hurry up and pack your things. We are leaving here now!”
”Why is she reacting like that?”
Ning Tao suddenly felt that his explanation was unnecessary. In fact, all he had to say was, ”let's go,” and those kids would happily follow him to leave.
”Su Ya, you take the kids down in the elevator, and I'll call chief Lu before getting down,” Ning Tao said.
”Good! Have you packed, everybody? Pack up and come with me.” Su Ya really couldn't wait to get out of here.
The children didn't really have much to pack, so they quickly lined up and followed Su Ya to the elevator.
Ning Tao took out his cell phone and called Lu Nan. As soon as the call came through, he cut to the point and said, ”Chief Lu, I have a slight incident. The children of the orphanage had no place to live. Do you have a place for them? If so, please help them out.”
”No problem, you bring the children here. They can stay in the school, or I can ask the villagers to take two children to each family,” Lu Nan agreed without hesitation.
”Thank you so much, Chief Lu,” Ning Tao said politely.
”Why are you so polite to me, Doctor Ning? It's nothing compared to what you did for us,” Lu Nan said.
Ning Tao smiled and continued, ”Then I won't be polite. I'll take the children there now.”
”Okay, I'll go and arrange the reception. Good-bye.” Lu Nan stated and hung up.
Ning Tao put away his phone. Instead of taking the elevator down, he took the stairs to the floor he had just left. He felt a little strange when he passed the meeting room and saw the two foreigners. Moreover, Blueprint Biotechnology Company was a domestic biopharmaceutical company, and Hua Country's drugs were hard to export. So why did the two foreigners come to Blueprint Biotechnology Company to do business?
If it wasn't for the shootout that took place inside the botanical garden of Blueprint Biotechnology Company, and the gunman he met when he came here, Ning Tao wouldn't mind anyone else's business. Considering those two things, it was hard not to suspect them.
The VIP meeting room was close to the corridor, with its door closed, so the inside was not visible.
Ning Tao walked quietly to the door of the meeting room, and then put his ears as close to the gap between the door as possible.
”Mr. Takeda, tea, please.” Ma Wuying's voice came from the door.
”Arigatou.” A man's voice came through the door.
”He's Japanese?”
Ning Tao's brow furrowed. A Japanese appeared at this juncture, making things more complicated.
”Mr. Takeda, Mr. Arthur, let's start.” This was Lin Donghai's voice.
Arthur should be the white man, and Ning Tao remembered the name.
”Let's cut to the chase.” It was Takeda. ”Our Takeda Biopharmaceutical Company would like to work with you to develop new plasters and potent drugs for men's new abilities. With our technology and your production line and sales network, we will open up your market together and achieve win-win cooperation.”
Takeda's Chinese was a little unclear, but Ning Tao got it.
Then Ma Wuying's voice came out. ”Mr. Lin, Miss Lin, Takeda Biopharmaceutical Company's Hisa plaster has long been a must-buy plaster for people traveling to Japan, and it has good analgesic and therapeutic effects for cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis. If we can get Takeda Biopharmaceutical Company's technology, there will be huge growth opportunities and profits for our company.”
”Great, our Blueprint Biotechnology Company is one of the best biopharmaceutical companies in the country. If we work together, we can make a difference in the biggest drug market.” Lin Donghai sounded happy.
Ning Tao was confused. ”When I was in school, I heard a teacher said Japanese Hisa plaster was very effective and very popular. Japanese plaster technology originated in Hua Country. Our country lost the secret prescription because of the war, but it was carried forward in Japan.” ”But the teacher also said that Japan is very conservative about pharmaceutical technology and won't spread it to other countries. Takeda Biopharmaceutical Company is also a big company. How could they possibly come here to work with Blueprint Biotechnology Company and be willing to provide the technology?”
Then other man's voice came into Ning Tao's ear. ”I represent UK Archer Investments. Our company will invest 100 million pounds in your project once you reach an agreement.”
It was clearly the voice of the white man named Arthur. He spoke Chinese clearly, so his Chinese was at a very high level.
Lin Donghai's voice rang out. ”All right, we'll come up with a plan as soon as possible.”
”I love this city and I value this partnership. I made a point of having my son Tamao Takeda throw a party at eight o'clock tonight at our consulate. I want you to come,” Takeda's voice said.
Lin Donghai's voice replied, ”My wife, my daughter and I are sure to come.”
”I don't feel well. I don't want to go. You go with mom,” Lin Qingyu's voice said.
Takeda's voice said, ”Miss Lin, my son Tamao admires you...”
Ning Tao, who was in the hallway, turned and walked to the stairwell before Takeda finished his words. As soon as he entered the stairwell, Ma Wuying's assistant came to the door of the meeting room with a stack of documents before she knocked on the door and entered.
