The rest of the matter would be solved by two people, Zheng Weijun and Sun Yunsheng, or the group behind them.

In the evening, w.a.n.g Yao and Zheng Weijun exchanged ideas, mainly talking about some of their own ideas for the pharmaceutical company and business management.

w.a.n.g Yao certainly was not as good as them, but he was specialized in pharmaceuticals. His opinion was very simple. This pharmaceutical company would only produce Chinese medicine-based medicines. It would not engage in Western medicine processing. Zheng Weijun had no different opinions in that aspect.

As for the prescription, it was naturally provided by him personally.

“How many prescriptions can you offer?” Zheng Weijun asked.

“Six or seven,” w.a.n.g Yao said after thinking in a moment. These excluded the use of licorice roots.

“So many prescriptions?!” Zheng Weijun was surprised.

“Is that many?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“We don't need so many prescriptions,” Zheng Weijun said. “You may not have a special understanding of the pharmaceutical industry. In fact, pharmaceutical companies do not produce any medicines. Different medicines may require different equipment. Secondly, the production of these medicines requires technical authorization. In general, pharmaceutical companies only focus on several medications and hope to get benefits from it.”

He continued to explain that there was still not a special place for domestic patent protection. If it was abroad, they would have no way to produce some drugs.

“I mean, we can introduce a main medications first,” Zheng Weijun said. “After the treatment is effective and the market recognizes it, we can launch other drugs.”

“Well, that is OK,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“Which one do you think is the first choice?” Zheng Weijun asked.

“I'll think about it,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

By the time he returned to the mountain village, it was after 9 p.m. He greeted his family to ease his parents worry and went up the mountain.

The next morning, some people arrived in the village. They were holding some instruments, measuring, and painting. It was a typical day's work for them.

“What are you doing?” someone in the village curiously asked.

“Nothing, it's mapping,” a young people responded.

“Mapping?” That night w.a.n.g Yao was surprised to hear from his father what had been going on. “Maybe it's something like data collection.”

On the third day, the people came again. This time, they went to Dongshan Hill. Again, it was for the whole day.

The people in the village were very curious.

“This village looks very good. What a pity,” a worker said.

“Hey, we are only responsible for working. It is not our home,” another worker said.

w.a.n.g Yao was thinking about the prescriptions in his clinic. He considered which kind of medicine was appropriate to be the first one. He had applied patents for the prescriptions through formal channels.

“There are so many trees on the mountain!” Surveyors working on Dongshan pointed to Nanshan Hill in the distance.

There were also trees on Dongshan and Xishan, but more than half of them were terraced fields. It was not like Nanshan, where the trees were green.

“Let's take a look,” a worker said.

Sooner or later, they would have to do the survey there, so they went straight to Nanshan. However, they were blocked by rows of trees at the conjunction with Lianshan. The trees were like walls. The plants were very dense.

“Hey, these trees are in a very regular pattern,” a worker said.

They spent a lot of effort to get through it.

“What are these trees?” a worker asked.

“Hey, there are grapes here!” A worker pointed to a wild grapevine.

“Is there any fruit?” another worker asked.

“Do you dare eat one?” a worker asked.

“It's OK. I'll try it.” A bold young man picked up one and tasted it. “Well, it's sweet!”

“Are grapes usually ripe at this time?” another worker asked.

If it went by principle, the grapes would not be ripe now. It would be another month later, but there was ample grapes on Nanshan Hill. The growth of these plants was very different.

“Well, let's test it first.” The people started working again.

“Hey, there seems to be a house there!” A worker pointed to a hut in the trees.

Woof!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

“There is a dog,” a worker said.

“What kind of dog barks so loudly?” another worker asked.

Once they saw the big dog, it was unforgettable.

“Oh, is this a Tibetan mastiff?” a worker asked

“Tibetan, I think it is a lion,” another worker said.

“What kind of dog is so big?” The workers were all stunned.

When the dog stood there, the people's faces changed.

“What if we are bitten?” one of the worker's asked.

“Don't move, slowly back away,” another worker said.

The workers slowly went backward. The dog followed them slowly. It didn't stop until they retreated behind the trees.

The dog's movement scared the workers into a cold sweat.

“How can there be such a big dog on this mountain?” one of them asked.

“Hey, should we still go on?” another worker asked.

“Of course, we have to continue,” the lead worker said. “The data has not been collected yet.”

“I don't want to go, the dog is too scary,” a worker said.

“I'll talk to the village manager to ask about who owns the dog and have him restrain it,” the lead worker said.

They went down the mountain and found the village branch secretary, w.a.n.g Jianli. “Mapping? What?”

“This is our certificate. It's mainly for the collection of terrain data,” the lead worker said.

“Nanshan was contracted by others, and outsiders are forbidden to enter,” w.a.n.g Jianli said.

“We just collect a little data,” the lead worker said. “It won't take long.”

“I will ask him.” w.a.n.g Jianli made a phone call to w.a.n.g Yao.

“No,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.

w.a.n.g Jianli relayed the message.

“Why?” the lead worker asked.

“Why? It is just that he is not willing to let you go up. With satellites now, why do you do on-site mapping?” w.a.n.g Jianli asked.

He somewhat disliked these people. They have been wandering around in the village for several days, but they never said anything to him. They only came to him after confronting difficulties.

“That is not appropriate,” the lead worker said.

“Now there is UAV,” w.a.n.g Jianli said. “You can try it from my personal advice!”

“Okay, don't be angry. We can come back,” the lead worker said.

The workers left the village complaining.

“For being just a small village party secretary, he is so arrogant,” one of the workers said.

“We were actually wrong with this matter,” the lead worker said. “We have been in the village for several days, but no one of us said anything to him.”

“Didn't the boos tell them?” a worker asked.

“I guess not,” the lead worker said.

“So, what do we do now? Talk to the boss?” a worker asked.

“They should not be willing to make it troublesome,” the leader asked. “Do you have a UAV? We can use it.”

In the evening, w.a.n.g Jianli went to w.a.n.g Yao's home and told him about his meeting with the workers.

“Up on Nanshan?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Well, they were driven out by the big dog at your house,” w.a.n.g Jianli said as he took a cigarette from w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao was silent for a while. “Uncle, what are they doing?”

“I don't know. They just want to map and collect terrain data,” w.a.n.g Jianli said.

Collect terrain data? w.a.n.g Yao had a bad feeling.

w.a.n.g Jianli stayed in w.a.n.g Yao's home for more than 20 minutes talking with his father. In w.a.n.g Yao's impression, the village party secretary did not seem to be so eloquent.

A few days later, the workers returned. This time, they brought a UAV.

“Hey, it's much more convenient to have this thing,” a worker said.

“Be careful, this was hard to apply for,” the leader said.

“I know, it's not the first time I used it,” the worker replied.

The UAV lifted off. The underground operator began recording data.

“Hey, why is it strange here?” When the UAV flew over Nanshan Hill, the vision was a bit blurred. The signal sent back was not stable.

“Turn it to a lower point,” the leader said.

Woof! Woof! Woof! There was a barking sound coming from the mountain.

“It's the big dog,” a worker said.

“Don't be afraid of it,” the leader said. “The dog can not fly!”

“Yes!”

Tweet!

“What?!”

Their connection to the UAV was interrupted.

“Well, what is going on here?”

“It is destroyed, ruined!”

“What is ruined?”

“Of course, the UAV is ruined!”

These people looked at each other without any words.

“How could this be like that?!”

“Hurry, go to get the equipment back!”

“Are you kidding me? There is a big dog on the mountain!”

These people had no other choice but to go down the mountain to ask the village party secretary for help.

“You really use a UAV!” w.a.n.g Jianli was speechless after listening.

“Yeah, Secretary w.a.n.g, look, this is the public equipment. It fell on the mountain. Can you help us to get it back?”
