Chapter 2422 Traditional Chinese medicine preparation still has formulas.
The winter melon, kelp, and pork rib soup that Bian Mu ordered was quite to Director Ma's liking. As he drank it, Director Ma gradually recovered.

“I’ve heard a bit about what happened between you and An Delin. Just because he’s not easy to work with doesn’t mean we can’t work together, right? Why not give each other a chance to cooperate?!” Director Ma was still a little reluctant to give up.

"Generational gap! Whether it's Mr. An or your side, the CPU architecture, operating system core architecture, and motherboard chip assembly pre-installed in our minds... are completely from different eras. The 'New Concept' sign hanging at our door is not a name we came up with casually. The new drug we're about to launch will be newer, more efficient, and its formulation standards will be closer to the latest and strictest industry standards of the future... In other words, 'Yuangu' Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparation Company can only be a completely new type of pharmaceutical company under the 'New Concept.' You and your team cannot adapt to this intensity of technological advancement in the short term, really! You simply cannot adapt. Moreover, once the new pharmaceutical company model is fully operational, it will inevitably touch upon your vital interests from time to time, and your lives will be passively adjusted to our frequency every day! Over time..." "I don't think you can accept that kind of life! But... don't worry! The launch of new drugs like this is extremely difficult. Right now, no one can say for sure when the finished product will be available. You and your team, as well as other employees who are not well-suited for industrial upgrading, have plenty of time to adjust. Of course, if you can convince most of the employees, or convince the higher authorities, or even if you have the ability to improve your factory's economic performance within a certain period, at least to improve the living conditions of retired employees and raise the actual income and benefits of current employees to a level roughly equivalent to other similar pharmaceutical companies, then that's a different story! Otherwise... you really need to seriously consider how you will conduct yourself in the future!" Bian Mu gave the most sincere reply with great patience.

Director Ma understood immediately, but for a moment he didn't know how to reply.

Bian Mu smiled and added a few more words: "The production process of new drugs is quite difficult. As a member of management, theoretically... you and your team should not be able to handle it. Let me put it this way, we are just an important partner of your factory. We cannot replace you in most of the production processes. I can only be responsible for some technical aspects, not take over your factory completely. There are many things you really can't do in the future... Rather than turning against each other later, it's better to talk things out from the beginning."

Having said all that, Factory Director Ma finally gave up.

"No wonder you have the reputation of being a 'gentlemanly doctor,' I've learned something from you! Just now, I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest... I almost burst! I feel much better now. So... how long will you give us a period of adjustment?"

"You overestimate me! The final decision-making power for this kind of thing still rests with the relevant higher-level departments, your team's ability to update itself, and also requires listening to the opinions of the majority of employees. Who do we think we are?! If it weren't for the fortuitous opportunity of us mastering some brand-new traditional Chinese medicine preparation technology, you wouldn't even deign to sit at the same table with me right now, would you?! In the end, your factory always holds the power to make decisions on many important matters in its own hands." Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Understood! Thank you for your guidance, Master! As I part, I'm still a little unconvinced... Your so-called detoxifying ointment is indeed quite good, but... it doesn't quite reach the level of a divine medicine. Even if the next new medicine is upgraded several times, just how much better will it be? Can you at least show me some of its outstanding features?" Director Ma had a strong sense of pride, and as he parted, he couldn't shake off the lingering resentment. He needed to at least say a few words before he could sleep peacefully tonight.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Wait a moment!" Without saying another word, Bian Mu took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket and wrote a series of complex equations and composite functions on the napkin on the table. It was an important formula that was indispensable for the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine.

"That's it?! I've studied advanced mathematics, you can't just fool me like this! It looks exactly like a Taoist talisman! Master! You're renowned!" After examining it carefully for several moments, Director Ma had no idea how to understand it!

"I knew you wouldn't believe me... Here! This is a pharmacological formula that our 'numerical medicine' school of thought often uses. This part can be used to statistically analyze the rate of change of magnetic fields, yes! It's just a practical application of differential equations! This part is used to calculate the metabolic rate, the average metabolic rate of the drug in the patient's body after medication! We just take the geometric mean. This set of formulas is used the most in the specific process of new drug development. Could you please give me some pointers?"

Upon hearing this, Director Ma frowned, staring again at the "scribbles" in front of him. Following Bian Mu's instructions, he gritted his teeth and took a few steps forward.

"Is this... a Western medicine or a traditional Chinese medicine?!"

"Whether it's Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, they all rely on advanced mathematics these days. In this respect, the formulation of new traditional Chinese medicine is no different from Western medicine; it's just an inevitable trend!" Bian Mu vaguely replied.

Factory Director Ma had an excellent memory. He pretended to examine the formula a few times while secretly memorizing it, and then said nothing more.

"You're something else! I'm done eating, thank you, owner!" With that, Director Ma got up and left. Bian Mu calmly finished his soup before getting up and waving to a waiter.

"Is your surname Bian?" The waiter asked respectfully, bowing slightly to Bian Muwei first.

"You recognize me? I am Bian Mu!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"They said you're a pretty famous doctor?"

"I wouldn't call myself famous, but I am definitely a traditional Chinese medicine doctor!"

"Our boss has already cleared the bill for you. If it's convenient, could we talk in private?"

"Oh! You're too kind! Where are you going?"

"Our boss is probably waiting in the hallway at the far east end of the second floor!"

"Oh! Then I'll go up and say hello, you go ahead with your work!" With that, Bian Mu walked towards the stairwell.

As soon as Bian Mu reached the second floor, he spotted a middle-aged woman with an elegant demeanor standing not far away, waving gently at him.

"Hello! My name is Bian Mu!" Bian Mu introduced himself with a smile.

"I'm so sorry to take a few minutes! Is it convenient for me to inquire about medical matters at the information center?"

You're welcome! I hope this helps!

"This way, please!" With that, the woman walked towards her office first.

The office wasn't big, probably only about 12 square meters, but it was decorated quite elegantly, with a touch of femininity. Bian Mu guessed that the female boss in front of him probably used to work in the catering industry, or perhaps she was a recently washed-up actress from the movie theater. Anyway, she looked somewhat similar.
