Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1851 Several people came to claim compensation.

Tao Wenjie knew that Bian Mu was capable; at the very least, Bian Mu could represent the highest level of traditional Chinese medicine in the Lijiang area. Unexpectedly, Bian Mu was also far superior to his peers in the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine.

Tao Wenjie immediately realized that Bian Mu was undoubtedly a gold mine! If her new pharmaceutical company hadn't been under construction yet, she would have secured this deal no matter what.

With a quick glance around her eyes, Tao Wenjie asked with a smile, "Is this so-called 'detoxifying ointment' just a trial market test?"

Bian Mu replied with a smile, "That's true and not true. All of us involved in every technical aspect have done our best to strive for perfection. In this respect, we should be considered to have gone all out! As for testing the waters of the market, that's true. But we have no choice. We lack funds and manpower, so we can only try this kind of specialized drug with a relatively narrow range of applications first."

"This is still small?! If it really becomes a huge success, won't you fill the entire gap in the use of penicillin-based Western medicines?! That guy! How big will the market share be?! How big will the net profit be in a year?!" Tao Wenjie replied with a smile.

"It's not that powerful, but it's true that it partially fills the gap! This is exactly the idea behind my technical maneuvering. I'm missing a skill, so I plan to do some technical work on that aspect."

"Are you alright?! You deliberately avoid the huge profits that others can't even get a glimpse of, no wonder they always say you..." Tao Wenjie realized she had said something inappropriate halfway through her sentence and quickly stopped.

“Others have paved their way over decades, and I'm just suddenly barging in… Even if I were incredibly lucky and had unparalleled skills, and actually reached that level, I'd be at the top of the market! What would I do next?! There would be no room for maneuver! Wouldn't that be cutting off my own escape route?! Besides, why take the philosophy of ‘lacking a skill’ so seriously?! It's simply about leaving as much room as possible for future development! By the way, there's a slight difference between our traditional Chinese medicine and your Western medicine research. We don't seek highly targeted, single-target effects, even with this kind of external injury medicine. After our external injury medicine enters the body, it must maintain a certain level of activity and establish a harmonious symbiotic relationship with the body's vital energy, defensive energy, and nutritive energy… If we can't deliberately leave a reasonable small space beforehand, this ointment can only kill toxins. If it kills them, it sells well; if it doesn't, it's a slow seller. What's the point of all that effort then?!” Bian Mu patiently explained for a long time.

After hearing these words, Tao Wenjie remained silent.

This was the first time Tao Wenjie had heard Bian Mu's remarks. While they weren't exactly groundbreaking, they certainly gave Tao Wenjie a big fright.

"Who else could reach his philosophical level in developing new drugs?! I don't think I've met a single one! Damn! No wonder there are rumors lately that he definitely has a very capable team behind him, otherwise... I don't believe he's already reached this level of understanding at such a young age! He and his team are really ruthless! Does that mean... they could actually be influencing the entire traditional Chinese medicine market like shadows for the next few decades?! That's too... no way! We have to keep this kid firmly in our grasp, and all the profits must come from us first!" With this in mind, Tao Wenjie made up her mind to use some methods to win Bian Mu over to her side.

"Hmm! You have a higher perspective, a broader vision, and a deeper understanding! So... you must have the next plan in mind by now, right?" Tao Wenjie's tone was noticeably more relaxed, at least giving the impression that they were on equal footing.

People should strive to become truly capable; otherwise, they'll always seem inferior when talking to others.

"There's a vague idea, but it's not certain... You're an expert, developing medicine isn't that easy, right!" Even the honest Bian Mu could guess Tao Wenjie's ulterior motives. To be honest, he had no intention of doing business directly with a ruthless person like Tao Wenjie; he lacked a sense of security.

"Well... our company's project progress control is pretty good, you know, these days it's all modular, it's fast! Maybe... by the time your next big project starts to take shape, ours will be almost finished too, how about... we make a gentleman's agreement?! You can give us priority consideration for your next big order?"

"Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Tao!" Bian Mu replied subtly.

"Then it's settled!"

Bian Mu nodded slightly, neither confirming nor denying, without saying anything.

After pondering it over and over again by himself for a long time, Bian Mu finally deliberately left a technical margin of error in the "detoxifying ointment" technology. On the surface, the technical data showed that the "detoxifying ointment" was not particularly powerful, at least it was still a little short of market expectations.

Bian Mu completed the entire process alone, without mentioning a word to Duan Hongyi or Huang Boxi. He only gave a few vague hints to the herb farmer, Lao Pei, who didn't pay much attention at the time and mistakenly thought that Bian Mu was young and couldn't do some things perfectly. Anyway, the market demand had been fully met, so there was no need to be too serious.

Mu did make a phone call to the old village doctor surnamed Mi, briefly mentioning that the old man seemed to have a cold and wasn't in good spirits, so he hung up after only a few words.

After obtaining everyone's consent, Bian Mu independently drafted an application and submitted it directly to Professor Mi, waiting for the expert group to conduct a formal review.

……

That morning, just past ten o'clock, Bian Mu was sitting there setting a little boy's broken foot when three or five men suddenly barged into the lobby. They were all dressed quite well, but their manners were a bit lacking. Without even saying hello to Nurse Ye and the others, they shouted for Bian Mu to come out and have a chat.

Sensing something was amiss, Bian Mu reached for her phone and called Luo Zhanqi downstairs to greet him.

The three young interns sensed something was amiss, and after obtaining Bian Mu's permission, they hurriedly left the consultation room and went to the lobby to say hello.

The little boy is only four and a half years old. He was born with calcium deficiency and suffered a pseudo fracture of his ankle. His maternal grandparents are wealthy and insisted on finding a famous doctor to correct his bone and then apply a new type of high-grade plaster cast for peace of mind.

Bone setting is easy, and plaster casts are applied quickly. Bian Mu is currently binding the hidden rope net there, and the hall has become quiet.

It seems that Luo Zhanqi's skills have improved somewhat; he and his colleagues can now hold their own in a situation.

After seeing the three generations of the family off, Bian Mu finally noticed that five uninvited guests had entered the hall. The man in the middle looked to be about thirty-four or thirty-five years old, dressed impeccably like a big boss. The other four seemed to be his subordinates. Although they were all quite strong, their eyes were unfocused, and they didn't look like the kind of people who just hung around on the streets.

Bian Mu gestured to the female intern surnamed Fan to see the patient and his family off politely, and then slowly walked up to Luo Zhanqi and asked him what was wrong.

"He's here because of you. His son is not even 10 years old and suffered a stroke! He said he just came from the hospital. His son's condition hasn't improved much. He said we're swindlers who made him give up a huge overseas order and make a pointless trip. He keeps demanding that we compensate him for his losses!" Lowering his voice, Luo Zhanqi briefly explained the current situation.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu immediately laughed.
