Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1736: Deep as the Sea
Professor Mi, Dong Yuhu and Kuang Yiheng were at three different points. In the following days, Bian Mu met with them almost every day. Fortunately, it only took up some time and was not a big deal.

Sima Kui was very conscious and took the initiative to go to the clinic for treatment according to Bian Mu's schedule. As time passed, his pulse condition had gradually improved. Liang Xiangyin would check his pulse every time. Seeing that his condition was getting better, Liang Xiangyin was naturally relieved and seemed to pay more attention to the outpatient clinic.

Duan Hongyi worked overtime to create a virtual AI model, and also assembled several sets of minimum temperature control devices. Bian Mu helped the two of them to debug it repeatedly for a while, and they felt that it should be able to work.

At noon that day, Bian Mu made an appointment with Dong Yushan to have lunch at Dong Yuhu's place.

In order to save time, Bian Mu ordered a few dishes from the restaurant in advance. He just carried the two boxes and could eat as soon as he opened the lid. It was very convenient!
The three of them sat around the dining table, eating and chatting. Bian Mu used an IPAD to show some of his pharmaceutical ideas, wanting to hear the opinions of the two professional engineers.

Dong Yuhu's illness was actually an emergency. After all, she was young, and with Bian Mu's timely and careful treatment, she was able to eat normally now. However, her strength needed to be restored, so she could only eat one-third of her sister's amount at each meal.

Dong Yuhu is more proficient in mass production technology and temperature control related to workshop assembly lines.

"We have been in 'Liushunrong' for so many years, but this is the first time we have come across this new idea. It's true that this can really narrow the quality gap between manual medicine making and mass production in workshops. You know, recently, the academic community has once again raised doubts about injectable Chinese patent medicines, and I heard that there is quite a stir! To be honest, the rigor of the preparation of Chinese patent medicines should indeed be upgraded to a new technical level. However... according to your current thinking, the conditions of both 'Liushunrong' and 'Yiyoukang' are difficult to meet, sister! We have to set up a whole new workshop, right?" As he spoke, Dong Yuhu turned his head and said to Dong Yushan.

"Almost! What's more, it's not as simple as rebuilding a brand new workshop assembly line. We also have to build several auxiliary workshops next to it, such as the thermal fine overload conversion workshop. Otherwise, your idea will ultimately remain a formal innovation, and the entire production process can only mechanically achieve part of the design intent. In fact, there have always been different voices and constant controversies about the Western manufacture of Chinese patent medicines. Generally speaking, if your design intent can be realized in the future, it will indeed be an improvement. I agree with it anyway, but... you will definitely not be able to afford the expenses in all aspects." Dong Yushan understood engineering and explained the main pros and cons in a few words.

As if a basin of cold water was suddenly poured over his head, Bian Mu was surprised and deeply disappointed.

"No wonder Mr. Huang has been hiding quietly in the 'Huikang' pharmacy all these years and has done almost nothing. It turns out that some new ideas are really difficult to implement on the assembly line..." Bian Mu muttered a few words casually.

"Of course not! No matter how they comment on Director Qin now, back then, like you, he was also ambitious in trying to comprehensively improve the pharmaceutical technology level of 'Liushunrong'. It was not only time-consuming and laborious, but it is said that he almost lost half his life. Old Li can testify to this, sister! In total, it must have taken at least a dozen years, right?" Dong Yuhu said to her sister.

"It's been nearly twenty years! We weren't even employed then. President Qin usually lived and ate in the workshop, and he really worked hard. Now, you no longer look down on those production lines, but back then, they were half the lives of the Qin father and son! Upgrading is very difficult! Unless... are you still in touch with Tao Wenjie?" At this point, Dong Yushan suddenly mentioned Tao Wenjie.

"I've been busy lately and haven't been in touch much. I don't know how far the construction of her new factory site has progressed." Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Bian Mu responded.

"She has great power, and perhaps only she can help you realize your idea. However... she is different from us. She will not do anything without profit and will never do anything that is not cost-effective. The design plan you came up with needs to be discussed, which is very troublesome! It will take at least several months to prove all aspects, and that requires her to be particularly attentive. In addition, the hardware design plan you and Teacher Duan came up with is definitely not acceptable. I cannot pass it. It is too simple! A special project must be established, and after all the mess... the experimental cost alone will be at least hundreds of thousands. If they are a little loose, it will definitely cost millions!" Frowning, Dong Yushan gave Bian Mu some literacy education.

Well! There is no hope at all. "It's so complicated! We are a little too imaginative!" Bian Mu replied with a wry smile.

"That's not the case. If you hadn't had the guidance of an expert, I guess you wouldn't have thought of such precise temperature control. Don't be discouraged. If your system can be successfully put into workshop operation, the output value will be beyond our imagination now. Really! There is a lot of potential. In addition, let me remind you that you can't discuss this matter with just anyone you catch. The fewer people who know about it, the better. As for Tao Wenjie... maybe we are just superficial people! Anyway, I think you shouldn't discuss it with her easily unless you have unilaterally solved more than two-thirds of the problems. Although she is not a bad person, she has a hard heart!" Dong Yushan had almost finished her meal, put down her chopsticks, and solemnly reminded her a few times.

"I know! Then...are there any regular pharmaceutical companies that are not very large and can innovate at relatively low costs? Are there any?" After a compromise, Bian Mu changed his mind.

"This... I have never seen it, sister! Is there such an ideal company?" Dong Yuhu asked with a smile.

"It's tough, isn't it? I've dealt with almost all the pharmaceutical companies in and outside Lijin City... A few decent companies can emerge within one or two years?! Let me tell you, this is no small matter. Any company will have to discuss it seriously in the board of directors for a long time! The investment in all aspects is not a small amount!" Dong Yushan further clarified a few sentences.

Hearing this, Bian Mu felt a little discouraged.

"After all this trouble, there's still nothing to show for it. From what you two are saying, I think we can just put it aside for now." Bian Mu was a little discouraged.

"That's not the case. The relevant ideas are quite valuable, but... every trade has its own unique characteristics. All aspects need to be coordinated. Some costs are beyond your imagination right now. In addition, are you killing viruses or sterilizing? Or both?! It has even surpassed the pharmacological cognition of viruses and bacteria?! The theoretical demonstration is enough to make you drink a pot. In the past two years, such things have been strictly reviewed. Even if you know a lot of rich and noble friends now, if you really want to follow the procedure, the clinic will definitely have to be put aside for a while." Dong Yushan is really good at it.

After discussing this point, Bian Mu was somewhat dumbfounded.

"It turns out that the Chinese patent medicine industry is so complicated! It sounds a bit scary. No wonder Mr. Huang has always been very negative. It turns out that the old man knows everything!" Bian Mu couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be discouraged. You always have a very clear and unique way of thinking. You have brought me back to life! Don't worry, let's discuss it slowly! There will always be a way. The ideas of temperature control and medicinal encapsulation are definitely right, and the future commercial value is immeasurable! It's actually meaningless for us to grow old in such mediocrity. I am willing to participate in this matter." Dong Yuhu said with a smile.

Dong Yushan held the teacup in silence.

After smiling, Bian Mu didn't know what to say for a moment.
