Chapter 504: Mr. Zhang's Proposal
When Mr. Zhang heard Liu Jingxue asking when to send someone to get the prescription, he hurriedly said, "Xiaoxue, this is not urgent. You haven't put forward any conditions yet."
"Conditions, what conditions?" Liu Jingxue was confused.
"It's the compensation given by the army if you hand over the prescription."
Liu Jingxue was very surprised, "Ah, you still want to compensate me, I don't need any compensation.
I have wanted to hand over this prescription to the army a long time ago, for free, without any compensation from the army.
If it is handed over to the local authorities, I am still worried that some people will use the drugs for personal gain, but if it is handed over to the military, I am completely relieved. "
When Mr. Zhang heard that Liu Jingxue was going to hand over the prescription for free, he refused.
"No, that won't work. This is something you worked so hard to research and it contains your hard work. You can't hand it over for free.
You have spent so much time and materials researching these prescriptions. These are not free and must be compensated."
“Grandpa Zhang, I study this in my free time. I have nothing better to do anyway.
As for herbs, I used to have to go to a pharmacy to buy them when I was in Xinshi, but now I live at the foot of the mountain, and it is very convenient to go into the mountains to collect herbs. I don’t have to spend money to buy them, so I don’t need compensation.”
"That won't work. Even those in our army who specialize in developing medicines are paid. The medicinal materials consumed during the research process are also paid for by the government.
Now, not only have you spent your own money, time and energy to develop the prescription, but you are also handing it over for free. There is no such thing in the world.
If this gets out, the army will lose all its face.
The army is a little poor now, but it has never exploited its own people like this. This is no more despicable than the landlords and the bourgeoisie.
The army will definitely compensate you, just ask, as long as it's not too excessive, Grandpa Zhang will get it for you."
Liu Jingxue scratched her head. She had never thought about asking for any compensation from the army after handing over the prescription.
The recipes she had were all left by the second owner, except that some of the herbs had become extinct in this era. She simply did some research and replaced them with herbs available in this era without spending too much effort.
Before, she was thinking whether she could save her uncle if she handed over the prescription. Later, she learned that her uncle was demoted due to the power struggle within the military, and she knew that this method might not work.
If she made this request, those people would probably have to get rid of her uncle to avoid future troubles.
It is only 71 years now. If she hands in the prescription and asks the higher authorities to redress her uncle's grievances, it would be difficult to accomplish since the movement is so intense now.
In addition, Grandpa Zhang and my uncle are not in the same military region, so their influence cannot reach there.
Even if those people reluctantly agreed, my uncle would probably have a hard time making ends meet and have a hard life after returning. It would be better for him to stay in the countryside and avoid the turmoil in the next few years.
“But Grandpa Zhang, I don’t know what compensation I should ask for.
I would like to redress the injustice done to my uncle and Grandpa Zou, but I know it is unrealistic to make this request now.
It's a mess everywhere now, it's safer for them to hide here.
I don’t need money or tickets right now, so those are of no use to me.”
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang sighed and said, "You are such a filial child. Your uncle is so lucky to have a niece like you.
But you are right, kid. Your uncle, your grandpa Zou and the others are indeed safer there than outside.
Don't worry, I have always kept their redress in mind. As long as the time is right, I will do it without you saying anything."
Thinking of the compensation, Mr. Zhang frowned, feeling that it was a bit difficult. Xiaoxue couldn't be sent away simply with some money for such a great contribution.
Xiaoxue at least calls him grandpa, so he has to keep a close eye on this for Xiaoxue and fight for the benefits she deserves.
Although their generation emphasizes selfless dedication to the Party, the people and the country, Xiaoxue has already contributed enough. Not only have her parents made sacrifices, but her relatives are now in the same situation.
Even though he encountered so many things, this child still wanted to contribute to the country and wanted to hand over the medicine prescription for free. They couldn't let this child down.
But Mr. Zhang didn't know how to ask Xiaoxue for compensation for the time being.
“Xiaoxue, in this case, you don’t know what kind of compensation you want, and Grandpa Zhang can’t think of it for a while.
Go back and discuss it with your uncle and Grandpa Zou.
After I go back, I will call a meeting with the relevant people and tell them that you agreed to hand over the prescription. I will let everyone brainstorm and come up with some good compensation plans.
When we send someone to get the prescription, we will bring these compensation plans with us, and you can choose the one you think is appropriate."
"Grandpa Zhang personally thinks that asking for money in one go to buy out the recipe is not a good method. It would be better to tie you to the army.
Although you are the child of a martyr, it is not absolutely safe in this turbulent time.
It would be good for you to tie yourself to the army and get an official identity.
Of course, Grandpa Zhang will not let you come here to serve in the army, nor will he let this identity restrict you. After all, you are still there to take care of your uncle and others.
Since you have expertise in pharmaceutical manufacturing and have developed so many good prescriptions, you can use this expertise to bind yourself to the military and become an expert or consultant, and you will be able to intimidate some people when you show your expertise to them.
As for other compensation, Grandpa Zhang asked them to think about it again and try not to let you suffer too much."
With someone planning for her, Liu Jingxue was too lazy to think, "Okay, Grandpa Zhang, I'll listen to you.
I will also tell my uncle and the others about this when I get back, and let them think about it."
The main purpose of the call has been achieved, and Mr. Zhang also wants to ask about other things.
"Xiaoxue, have you dealt with the Zheng family kid over there? When can we resume normal communication?"
"It should be soon. Zhou Mingxuan said that many people in Beijing are dealing with the Zheng family, and the Zheng family is in a very bad situation.
It is said that Zheng Pengcheng had committed a crime in Beijing before, but it was suppressed by the Zheng family.
If the Zheng family falls, everyone will blame him, and his past crimes will be exposed. Then someone might come and take him back to Beijing to assist in the investigation."
"That's great. He's always there, and I've been worried that he'd find out about you hanging out with Old Zou and the others.
I'm also worried that his fight with that Zhou family kid will affect you."
"It will probably take us a few days to discuss the plan, and then we'll send someone to look for you. I guess by then the Zheng family kid will have been taken away.
To be on the safe side, I will try to delay for a few more days. Before sending someone to you, I will call Mr. Zhou to inquire about the progress of the matter. I will make sure that the Zheng family kid is taken away before sending someone to find you."
"Grandpa Zhang, please take care of the arrangements."
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Liu Jingxue took out a dollar, put it under the phone, picked up the empty vegetable basket, walked out of the office, closed the door and left.
In this day and age, you have to pay for both making and receiving calls. Since we talked on the phone for a long time, we had to pay a little more money to avoid the public suffering a loss.
