Chapter 1165 1167【Renji Pharmaceutical Factory】


    After the villa was renovated, Xiang Nan’s family officially moved into the villa.


    ?Jinshan asked the brothers, housekeepers, and maids to live on the first floor, while Xiang Nan, his wife, and Ye Zhun lived on the second floor.


    During the renovation of the villa, Xiang Nan also helped Zhou Qingquan buy a house and designed the basement for him.


    After Xiang Nan’s villa was renovated, the workers directly took over the business.


    Taking on two big jobs at once made them both very happy.


    ?In addition, Xiang Nan also helped Zhou Qingquan purchase a factory land for reference, preparing to build a factory.


    "Ah Wen, clothing, food, housing and transportation are the first priority. Human beings have to wear clothes, so I am going to open a cotton factory and make cotton cloth to sell to them." Zhou Qingquan said to Xiang Nan, "I think I will definitely make money. What do you think? Sample?"


    "Brother Quan, I think your idea is wrong." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "There will be a war in two years. By then, everyone will have trouble even eating, and who will be willing to buy new clothes.


    In my opinion, we should open a pharmaceutical factory. Injuries are inevitable in battles, and injuries must be treated, and medicine is indispensable for treating injuries. That''s why this business must be booming. "


    When Zhou Qingquan heard this, he nodded and felt it made sense.


    Once the Japanese really attack, everyone will flee and those who will be killed will be killed. Those who are barely surviving are also struggling to survive, and how can they think about food and clothing?


    However, no matter how hard life is, you still need to be treated when you are sick, so the medicinal materials business will not lose its customers. Especially in times of war and chaos, people are more likely to be injured, sick, and even infected with plague, so the medicinal business is even more prosperous.


    “But we don’t know how to make medicine.” Zhou Qingquan frowned.


    Pharmaceutical medicine is a major subject. The proportion of medicinal materials, preparation, processing, compounding, and storage... these are not something that outsiders can do. They must have experts in this field.


    “Brother Quan, you have forgotten that my master Liang Zan and master Chen Huashun are both famous doctors. I have learned Kung Fu from them since I was a child, and I also have a certain understanding of medical skills.” Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.


    Medicine and martial arts fellows. Most of the famous martial arts masters are proficient in medical skills. And many famous doctors with superb medical skills are also proficient in martial arts.


    For example, Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor, created his own Five Animal Opera; Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, was proficient in acupuncture; Fu Qingzhu, a famous doctor in the late Ming Dynasty, was proficient in swordsmanship and drunken boxing; Huang Shiping, a famous doctor in the late Qing Dynasty, was proficient in Shaolin boxing and qigong...


    ?Liang Zan and Chen Huashun are also famous doctors in Fashan. In addition to practicing martial arts and teaching boxing, they also sit in the hall to treat diseases and cure countless injuries, and they have gained many reputations for this.


    When Zhou Qingquan heard this, he suddenly realized, "I almost forgot about you. Okay, in that case, let''s give it a try."


    …


    Subsequently, Zhou Qingquan and Xiang Nan formed a partnership and jointly invested two thousand silver dollars to build a factory in Caiyuan Street, Macau. It mainly produces bruise medicine, gold trauma medicine, and anti-fungal powder.


    As soon as the factory was built, trouble ran into it again. Local gangsters came to collect protection fees. They also provided all the sand, gravel, wood, bricks and tiles required to build the factory. When I inquired about the price, it was at least double the price on the market.


    Zhou Qingquan naturally refused to do the job, and as a result, accidents occurred at the construction site every day.


    ?Either they were splashed with excrement or set on fire, which scared the workers to the point of trembling with fear.


    When Xiang Nan saw this, he sent Jinshan to find the brothers. At night, I stayed at the construction site and sure enough I caught the troublemaker.


    But it’s useless to catch him. It turns out that most of the people who do it are heavy smokers. Just for a little money, he was instigated by others to cause trouble. There are many such people in Macau. One of them runs away today, and another one comes tomorrow, which is really annoying.


    …


    ?At the same time, people came to my door one after another, hoping to learn martial arts with Xiang Nan.


    Because before, Xiang Nan beat up hundreds of Niu family members and ran all over the streets, which has gradually spread throughout Macau.


    ??Everyone knows that Xiang Nan is a martial arts master with strong martial arts skills and can defeat a hundred people with one enemy. For such a powerful person, it is natural that some people are willing to learn martial arts from him. However, Xiang Nan did not agree.


    For one thing, he had no worries about food and clothing and could not afford to teach martial arts. In the movie, at the beginning, Ip Man was not even willing to accept Zhou Qingquan''s son. Later, the biggest reason why he became a believer was to collect tuition fees.


    Secondly, the pharmaceutical company had just started and was busy with many things, so he had no intention of teaching boxing. Therefore, although many people approached him to practice martial arts, Xiang Nan did not agree.


    But later, when boss Wang of the firecracker factory, boss Liu of the Buddhist incense factory, and boss Zeng of the match factory all came to him, hoping that he would teach their children martial arts, Xiang Nan couldn''t push back anymore. .


    Humans are social animals, and it is impossible for them to survive without society. If you owe a favor, you have to pay it back. This is what you must do.


    “Actually, you might as well accept a few apprentices.” Zhou Qingquan advised, “If all the disciples from our families learn martial arts with you, then you will have a firm foothold in Macau.”


    When Xiang Nan heard this, he suddenly became enlightened and felt that it made sense.


    He always wanted to live his life quietly and peacefully in isolation from the world.


    But in fact, what he thought was just wishful thinking.


    ?The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn''t stop. He lives here, wanting to avoid interacting with others and hide in a small building to become a unified person. He doesn''t care about winter, summer, spring and autumn. How can such a good thing happen?


    It is just an ideal to hear the sounds of chickens and dogs, and not to interact with each other until old age and death.


    The reality is that as long as you live, you have to deal with people. And where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is impossible for him to avoid right and wrong.


    ?Just like his pharmaceutical factory, as soon as it was built, someone already came to collect protection fees. If you don''t pay, you will cause trouble. Today you throw buckets of manure and tomorrow you set fire to it. Although it’s not a big loss, it’s still disgusting.


    …


    Xiang Nan then officially launched the "Wing Chun Ip Man" brand and opened a studio in Macau to recruit disciples.


    ?However, he did not set up the martial arts gym in his own home, but rented a house not far from the pharmaceutical factory.


    ?This is not only convenient for teaching boxing, but also convenient for him to take care of the pharmaceutical factory.


    After all, he is responsible for the technology of the pharmaceutical factory, and every medicine produced is to treat diseases and save lives, and cannot be careless.


    ? Xiang Nan set a clear banner and after opening the hall to recruit disciples, the number of applicants almost exceeded the threshold.


    Macau is a small place with a population of less than 100,000, so there have not been many martial arts masters since ancient times.


    ??However, side businesses such as pornography, gambling and drugs are very rampant in Macau, which has spawned countless crimes, so social security is not very good.


    ?Zhang Yongcheng did not dare to go shopping easily in Macau. Every time he goes shopping, Xiang Nan has to protect him personally. For fear of being taken captive. After all, this kind of thing happens all the time in Macau.


    That’s why everyone wants to practice martial arts to strengthen themselves and avoid being bullied.


    But Xiang Nan did not receive them all.


    When one is poor in literature and rich in martial arts, one must have money to practice martial arts. Eat well and eat well to keep up with the intensity of your practice. Otherwise, nutrition cannot keep up, and people will become more and more useless as they practice.


    The reason why it has been passed down since ancient times is that Chuanwu can fight, and one can fight more than a dozen. It is also mainly because people who practice martial arts have good physique and abundant physical strength. The general public is happy if they have enough to eat. Most of the time they are hungry, their hands and feet are weak, and they are thin and withered.


    Because of this, it is naturally easy to get beaten. In the early days of Japan''s invasion of China, the Japanese army had an advantage in hand-to-hand combat because of its abundant physical strength and well-trained training. One person could fight against five Chinese soldiers, so it was naturally easier to deal with ordinary people.
