Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2306 Everyone knows the power of new technologies
Having lived most of his life, the herb farmer Lao Pei's two children were never able to live completely independently. The old couple had indeed failed in this respect, and Bian Mu had always mistakenly thought it might be related to the personalities of Lao Pei and his wife.

After all that fuss, the forest ranger Lao Liang was also having a similar domestic dispute at home.

Bian Mu had never experienced being a freeloader or indirectly freeloader, and since he was not yet married, he could not understand the troubles of his two elders and was naturally very surprised!
What surprised Bian Mu even more was that Dean Qiao and his wife had so many hidden agendas in their hearts. For a moment, Bian Mu felt that his mind had short-circuited.

Since arriving in Lijin, after repeated trials and tribulations, Bian Mu believes that he has gained a certain level of understanding of people's hearts. The image of Dean Qiao, who spoke eloquently, still occasionally comes to mind. He was wise and honest, and his development awareness was quite avant-garde. At least it was quite in line with some of the business ideas that he had accumulated in his daily life.

Who would have thought that Dean Qiao harbored so many dark and murky thoughts deep within his heart?

What's even more terrifying is that Bian Mu was completely unaware that Ouyang Ziye's female assistant had been plotting against him from the shadows...

This is outrageous!
In an instant, Bian Mu regressed to the social age of a three-year-old—how embarrassing! A sinister shadow began to rise in her heart…

Seeing that Bian Mu looked rather embarrassed, the herb farmer Lao Pei smiled and brought the conversation back on track.

"You think only medical experts like you are interested in technological breakthroughs?! Not at all! Even a middle school student can master the top-of-the-line iPhone, right?! As long as your family can afford it, you can afford it without batting an eye, even at prices in the tens of thousands. For one thing, when it comes to gaming, it's smooth, the battery doesn't overheat, and you get a head start on every level—who doesn't know that?! Right? Old Liang told me about what you and that guy surnamed Qiao were talking about. Many companies are trying out new technologies like NFT blockchains. As far as I know, subsidiaries under the Zhong and Cao families even set up special teams to try and tackle these as important projects, but I heard they all failed halfway through. Even if you and that guy surnamed Qiao can't handle all that high-tech stuff, you can start with a platform-based interactive system. Just set up a project team; excluding labor costs, the minimum cost for hardware and software is..." "50 is the minimum! That doesn't mean you'll see any results after investing 50. If you're unlucky, for example, if you go even slightly wrong in the research direction, you might not even hear a sound, understand? We've roughly calculated it using counting rods; that kind of interactive platform you discussed with that guy surnamed Qiao, after several years, will definitely yield nothing without at least 3000 million! Old Liang had someone inquire; the Zhong family invested several hundred million in total, but later found it meaningless and simply disbanded the project team. The Zhong siblings even had several arguments about it; the eldest daughter said her brother was wasting money, and Zhong Xiangxin said his sister lacked strategic foresight. The Cao family's situation was slightly better; I heard that halfway through, the project leader simply left without saying goodbye, and Cao Yueyue immediately stopped the project! Almost no results were seen; it was just a waste of money!"

"Huh?! How come I know nothing about this?!" Bian Mu always thought he was quite perceptive, but he didn't expect that he was not as good as two old men who were idle at home.

"You're always so busy, how would you know about this kind of thing! At first, Lao Liang didn't think of that either. Weren't you quite close to Duan Hongyi before? Lao Liang felt that Duan was a bit dishonest, abandoning you halfway while he went to the Cao family to make big money. Back then, if it weren't for your discerning eye, he'd still be stuck in school! Cao Yueyue only saw Duan Hongyi's technical talent because of you, and that's why she tried so hard to bring him over. And you know what, Duan does have some real skills; he's already helped the Cao family recover some losses on certain projects. Later, Duan's overall abilities were amplified several times over." Cao Yueyue arranged for him to join those projects that were constantly burning money with no hope of return. To be fair, Cao Yueyue had a good eye. Duan Hongyi was with her all the time, and he was the one who had the most contact with the core content of the 'Digital Medicine' system. Cao Yueyue knew perfectly well that the scale of China's traditional Chinese medicine industry was growing rapidly. As long as technological breakthroughs in all aspects could be achieved before other companies, the subsequent profits would be unimaginable for companies at their level. Those so-called "big health" projects couldn't compare. Now you know why Duan Hongyi abandoned us and went straight to Cao's Group! "I had some guesses, but I didn't expect Cao Yueyue to be so willing to make money from anything! Her pulse diagnosis was really sharp and accurate! Luckily, Duan Hongyi knows almost nothing about traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise, with the Cao family's strong comprehensive strength, it would be a piece of cake to comprehensively evaluate traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacology and put them on the blockchain to make them into a real 'digital collection'! Just thinking about it... if they really made it like that, our little dream would become the dream of kindergarten children..." At this point, Bian Mu suddenly felt a little disheartened.

"It's not that bad. No matter how shrewd Cao Yueyue is, or how miraculous Duan Hongyi is, there are some fundamental aspects of traditional Chinese medicine that they'll likely never grasp in their lifetime! So far, you're the only one who has a relatively comprehensive understanding of it. Perhaps some people have already seen you as 'Tang Monk's flesh,' eager to get rich quick by taking a bite from you. Given this situation, you'd better be careful in similar situations in the future! At least, only tell people three-tenths of the truth. There's no need to confide in everyone. Some people are extremely good at disguising themselves; who can see through them in a short time?! Moreover, Cao Xiuyi is also involved. It's said that she and Cao Yueyue have some family ties. In addition, Lei Xiaoxuan and others are always scheming and single-mindedly trying to make a quick fortune. Is it really necessary for you to be so open and honest with them?" Old Pei, the herbalist, said to Bian Mu with a smile.

"I was naive. I won't do it again! I'll be much more careful from now on."

"It's nothing! As you gain more experience, similar incidents will only decrease. I asked around, and there's a physiotherapist named Wei at Duan Hongyi's hospital who's quite skilled, but he has a bad temper and isn't well-liked by the leadership. He's been just an ordinary doctor all these years, and his income has never increased. You could say he's a talented person who hasn't been given the opportunity! If Luo Zhanqi really intends to resign, and if Wei is alright, it's a mutual choice for him to replace Luo Zhanqi. I think that would be a good option." Old Pei, the herbalist, suddenly said these words.

"How old is Doctor Wei?" Bian Mu quickly asked.

"He looks to be in his early 30s, definitely not over 35. He's very capable. There's usually some tension in his relationships with colleagues, and we can't really judge who's right and who's wrong. But we're all on holiday now! You might want to get to know him indirectly. If you think he's a good match, why not arrange to chat with him privately?"

"I understand. You two have gone to great lengths for us. Thank you, thank you!"

"We're all family, no need to be so polite! By the way, Lao Liang suggests you talk to Wen Xueye, you might discover something new."

Upon hearing Wen Xueye's name, Bian Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
