Physician’s Odyssey

Chapter 784 - Multiple Blooming

Su Tao only got to know that the Three Flavour International’s plan to get listed is already in official discussions before he leaves Italy. The procedure is expected to be completed during the first half of next year before they start their subsequent plans to be ultimately listed in Yunhai Stock Exchange.

There’s a stricter requirement for companies in the country to be listed, and according to Vera’s thoughts, it’s more convenient and faster to place it on New York Stock Exchange or London Stock Exchange.

However, Yan Jing had rejected that suggestion as she felt that since the company has TCM as the foundation, it will be more reliable for it to be listed in the country’s stock exchange.

Furthermore, if the company got listed overseas, it might be easy for them to get a high price, but it’s not beneficial for stock investors in the country. After all, not everyone can go overseas to buy Three Flavour International’s stock.

The Three Flavour International isn’t an enterprise that’s trying to reap a profit in the financial market, but they want to be an enterprise who can give dividends to their investors periodically. Because according to Three Flavour International’s current sales volume and momentum, they can definitely welcome an explosive development in three to five years.

If the dividends are listed overseas, then it will have no connection with the stock investors in the country. Hence, this method is more appropriate to share dividends with people in China.

Putting it in a nutshell, the Three Flavour International is earning money from foreigners to be put into China. Compared to those internet companies and online purchasing platforms, who gave their profits that they took from those in the country to give to investors overseas, the Three Flavour International’s plan is more supportive of their country.

Yan Jing and Vera were ambitious as they wanted Three Flavour International, Three Flavour Hall, and Three Flavour Medicine to enter the financial market individually. Although the three businesses have a close connection together, they’re spread to different domains, and they can make more money by having them listed individually.

The Three Flavour International manages skincare products and fashion, the Three Flavour Hall provides healthcare, and the Three Flavour Medicine produces Chinese medicine.

Through meticulous classification, the entire enterprise chain was clearer to look at.

Su Tao’s current business is equivalent to a troika, and they’re able to fuse into one under Yan Jing and Vera’s management. Hence, Su Tao had completely passed this matter to the two of them.

Even he had never imagined that his business would have such development in barely a single year.

Thinking about it now, many things have to be meticulously planned. As long as they have a direction, they will be able to constantly perfect things in the process.

After Su Tao returned to Hanzhou City, he saw Lisa, who travelled from Russia. She’s diligent, and she has already been transformed from a customer to an employee in the Three Flavour Hall, helping out with the work here. Furthermore, with the addition of this blonde Russian, the Three Flavour Hall was also more lively as people would discuss why there is such a gorgeous foreign employee in a pharmacy.

After Su Tao finished brewing tea, he gave Lisa a cup. As Lisa took a sip, she smiled, “Why is it so different compared to other tea that I’ve drank? Why does it have a sweet taste to it?”

“I added some honey in it!” Su Tao also took a sip before he continued, “You seem a little heaty, so drinking honey is beneficial to your body.”

Nodding his head, Lisa pouted her lips, “You have a keen sight. I do have pimples on my face lately, and… some… constipation…”

Lisa did not hide anything from Su Tao as she had treated the former as her doctor.

Standing up with a smile, Su Tao held onto a silver needle in his hand, “Remove your clothes and reveal your lower abdomen!”

Lisa was briefly stunned upon hearing it before she blushed. As she slowly pulled her clothes down, her lower abdomen was flat and smooth without any fats. Seeing that Lisa went on further and had already started to reveal her bra, he immediately called out to her, “That’s enough!”

Lisa sighed in relief inwardly upon hearing that. She used to be a model, so she’s not against removing clothes. After all, models have to be confident in their body as it’s their prideful capital.

But facing Su Tao, Lisa still felt somewhat nervous.

Hence, Lisa felt relieved when Su Tao stopped her.

Walking over to Lisa, Su Tao placed two needles into the two Tianshu Acupoints at both sides of her lower abdomen.

The Tianshu Acupoints are classified under Yangming Stomach Meridian of the Foot, and part of Yangming Large Intestines Meridian of the Hand. It’s located at the abdomen, and it can be used to treat stomach-related illnesses.

The reason why Lisa is suffering constipation is because of the difference in food after coming to China. Hence, by performing acupuncture on the two Tianshu Acupoints, she can recover her stomach functions swiftly and get used to this new environment.

Then again, she can also recover by herself even if Su Tao did not perform any acupuncture on her. It will basically take two months for her to recover, but using acupuncture can resolve it much faster.

As the needles were inserted into Lisa’s skin, she felt a warm current flowing from her lower abdomen as her tensed digestive system suddenly released gas. With her face blushing, she glanced at Su Tao in embarrassment.

She… actually farted!

“It’s normal to have that reaction. In just a few minutes, you will start to feel the urge to visit the bathroom.” Su Tao smiled.

Holding onto her face, Lisa immediately left the room. Looking as Lisa walked a distance out, Su Tao ultimately could hold back his laughter. Lisa’s embarrassed appearance made Su Tao feel somewhat guilty, but for some reason, the demon in his heart was dancing after witnessing a beauty farting.

When Lisa returned to the room, her face was so red that it was practically on the verge of bleeding, “I’m sorry about that.”

Waving his hand, Su Tao comforted, “This is a normal physiology reaction, and I can understand it.”

Not daring to look at Su Tao, Lisa asked, “It has already been some time since I come to Hanzhou City, so may I ask what do you want me to do?”

Keeping the smile on his face, Su Tao became serious as he replied, “I hope that you can get familiar with all the employees in the Three Flavour Hall in two months. I hope that you can be a qualified manager of the pharmacy. Because I plan to open branches in Moscow, and you will be responsible for that branch.”

“Really?” Lisa was shocked as she looked at Su Tao with disbelief on her face.

“Yeah, really!” Su Tao smiled as he went on, “I plan to open at least dozens of branches in Moscow, so I need a reliable and qualified manager.”

Keeping the smile on his face, Lisa grew anxious as she replied, “I’m afraid that I might not be up for the task.”

Shaking his head, Su Tao replied seriously, “No one can be confident about doing something that they’re unfamiliar with. I believe that you will be able to adapt to this position soon and be up to satisfaction. Furthermore, I will also arrange personnel to head over to Moscow to help you out. Then again, you can reject the offer, but I have to remind you that you will be able to get a considerable salary if you’re willing to take this job. It’s more than enough to provide a generous lifestyle to your family.”

“I’m willing to give it a try!” Lisa’s eyes flickered with a firm light.

Letting out a sigh inwardly, Su Tao knew that he did not choose the wrong person. Lisa is a strong and independent Russian woman.

It will be so much more difficult to establish his branches in Russia compared to Japan, because he did not have the help of people like Gu Yin. Although Gu Yin was willing to introduce him to some Chinese businessmen, he can’t trust them fully. Hence, he needed a reliable candidate.

Lisa might be young, but she’s filled with vitality. Furthermore, she’s a Russian who’s versed with Mandarin.

After knowing Su Tao’s arrangement for her, Lisa became energetic as she left the room for help out in the pharmacy. When Su Tao called Xiao Jingjing over and informed her of his arrangement for Lisa, he instructed Xiao Jingjing to give Lisa some simple TCM lessons. Although the physicians will all be sourced from China, Lisa still needs to know about the daily operation of a pharmacy as the manager.

After Xiao Jingjing left the office, Su Tao’s phone rang as he picked it up and smiled, “What’s the matter? President Di?” Although Di Shiyuan is no longer the president of a hospital, Su Tao still kept his form of address.

“National Healer, can’t I just have a chat with you? Do I need to make an appointment for that?” Di Shiyuan smiled.

“What are you saying? You’re always the one who guided me on my path.” Su Tao immediately smiled.

Di Shiyuan was satisfied with Su Tao’s attitude. Generally speaking, with Su Tao’s current status, he’s qualified to speak with him in another tone, but Su Tao still remained as usual. It was still Su Tao he was familiar with.

Many people will obtain achievements after hard work, but very few of them could maintain their heart.

“I would like to invite you for a meeting organised by several hospitals on the future of TCM. The city is now planning to include TCM in part of the development, so I need a frontliner like you to provide some opinions. Please don’t reject me as it was due to your charm that changed Hanzhou City’s healthcare system, changing everyone’s view for TCM.”

Wearing a bitter smile, Di Shiyuan was still as calculative as always. It was as if Di Shiyuan could see through his thoughts.

“Then I’ll listen to your arrangements!” Su Tao smiled.

Nodding his head, Di Shiyuan suddenly asked, “Oh, I have something that I need your help with!”

“I will definitely do my best!” With Su Tao’s relationship with Di Shiyuan, he will definitely not reject it.

“A relative of mine has been feeling unwell lately, and I wonder if you can take some time out to look at him?” Di Shiyuan sighed weakly as he continued, “But he has a tight schedule, so it’s hard to persuade him to do a checkup in the hospital.”

Di Shiyuan knew how keen Su Tao’s eyes were. Since his relative wasn’t willing to do a checkup in the hospital, then he can just get Su Tao’s eyes, that’s more accurate than any equipment. This way, they will be able to save up on more time.

Nodding his head, Su Tao agreed straightforwardly, “Don’t worry about it. Contact me after you’ve set up the time and I’ll pay your relative a visit.”

Letting out a breath of relief, he looked at his wife, who was winking at him and smiled, “I’ll let you know as soon as possible!”

“Did Little Su agree to it?” Zhang Fang asked nervously.

“Yeah! He might be independent, but he’s still easy to interact with. Furthermore, he is also a loyal person who wouldn’t forget about friendship.” Di Shiyuan smiled bitterly.

“Back then, it’s pretty good if Yin Le and Su Tao got together!” Zhang Fang smiled.

Di Shiyuan sighed inwardly. In his view, his younger cousin, Yin Le, isn’t the right choice for Su Tao.
