Chapter 2480 Integration with the New Language System
Tao Wenjie's eye sockets had sunk inwards by a unit, which was the observation unit Bian Mu had set for himself, judging people by their appearance. In his opinion, this change was mostly the beginning of wrinkles. Tao Wenjie usually seemed to not care about makeup, but she was actually very concerned about her appearance. Naturally, he couldn't say much about this to her.

but……

This suggests that Tao Wenjie's efforts to secure funding from overseas are unlikely to be successful in the near future.

In addition, a flicker of emotion lingered deep in her eyes, and she seemed somewhat unsettled. She no longer looked as spirited and arrogant as before!

It seems that Tao Wenjie, who has always been ambitious, is gradually entering a bottleneck period in her career?

A thought suddenly popped into Bian Mu's mind: He was making small steps and running big circles, constantly carrying out big tasks with small actions, while Tao Wenjie seemed to be the opposite. She was making a big show of things, but the big business she was engaged in didn't seem to have any new highlights. She was making a lot of noise but getting little benefit, and she was living a very tiring life all day long!
It was almost 10 o'clock, and Tao Wenjie was still running around at this hour, so she probably had something important to discuss. After exchanging a few polite words, Bian Mu returned to the experimental platform and turned off all the computer monitoring programs.

He then removed three of the core chips, leaving the rest in their original positions.

After removing her lab coat, cap, gloves, and other protective gear, Bian Mu pulled out two packs of good cigarettes from a small drawer in a square table.

"Wait for me a moment. The security guards on duty are working very hard. I'll go and give them a little something," Bian Mu said with a smile.

"Great! You've learned all of that!"

"Mutual respect and consideration are only right! Helping others makes things easier for yourself!" After saying that, Bian Mu went to the duty room to deliver cigarettes to the security guard on duty.

……

The "Hua Sang Ma" teahouse is a chain store, with a small chain supermarket downstairs. It operates 24 hours a day, providing a lot of convenience for the city's nightlife crowd.

I ordered two servings of plain water and two servings of mixed fruit juice. I found a small seat by the window facing the street, and while enjoying the night view, I chatted with Tao Wenjie for a while.

“You’ve been to the construction site before, but it’s been on and off. We’ll definitely be stuck at work all year. We’ve been eyeing the new drug you’re developing. How about… you go ahead with your work, and I’ll take over the management of ‘Yuan Gu’ for a while. It’ll be like protecting you! Afterwards, you can give me a reasonable share of the profits!” Hey! She didn’t let anything interfere with her work. Even while the construction site was idle, she still managed to make some extra money.

It has to be said that Tao Wenjie is truly daring and decisive.

"There's no problem with collaborating, the only issue is... you might be a little impatient with the time involved!" Bian Mu suggested with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tao Wenjie frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you studied Japanese before?" Bian Mu suddenly asked. "What?! Japanese? Why would we need to learn that? Our business isn't ready to expand there yet!"

"Well... here's a set of textbooks and an authoritative dictionary. If you study for more than two hours every day without fail, how long will it take you to be able to read original Japanese novels? Popular novels will be fine," Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"What exactly are you trying to say?! Don't beat around the bush like that!" Tao Wenjie was getting a little impatient.

"Am I the kind of person who makes things up for no reason? If you're really sincere about seeking some kind of cooperation, let's have a proper chat! I was just saying it offhand, let's talk about something else!" Bian Mu calmly retorted to Tao Wenjie without giving her any leeway.

Pouting, Tao Wenjie looked up at the ceiling for a few moments.

"Two hours of continuous study time a day...phonetics, word spelling, basic grammar...wouldn't that take two months?! Accumulating core vocabulary, further learning grammar, and maybe a little more text grammar to advance to the next level, wouldn't that take another three months?! Memorizing model essays to develop a feel for the language, and then practicing listening comprehension, that would take at least two months, right? All in all...it would take at least a year?" Tao Wenjie patiently replied with a few simple words.

"Your foreign language skills are so good! I think eight months is enough!" Bian Mu said with a smile, subtly praising Tao Wenjie.

"Tch! What exactly are you trying to say?!" Tao Wenjie pressed, somewhat dismissive of his tone.

"As you've seen, that huge machine in the lab at the Little White Building is a workshop model we created using a 3D printer. Experiments have been underway for some time now. Unlike before, from the formulation concept to workshop renovations and personnel selection, our new drug uses a completely new pharmaceutical 'language.' In other words, even working with a genius manager like you, you'll need to spend considerable time understanding this new pharmaceutical 'language'—new concepts, new vocabulary, new sentence structures, new processes… you'll have to learn everything from scratch. Even someone as capable as you would need at least eight months to master it." "Slow digestion. Even considering both new and old staff at 'Yuan Gu,' who dares compare to you?! If they were to actually learn it, in such a rushed and stressful way, it would probably take at least two years to see any results. Who knows what unexpected changes might occur during that time, right? Besides, they won't get a single penny of profit during this period. Who will pay their salaries during this long learning period?! Furthermore, what percentage of people can truly adapt quickly to the new language system for preparing traditional Chinese medicine during the learning period? If it's less than half, how can the workshop operate normally?!" After finishing a large glass of water, Bian Mu had basically explained everything.

Tao Wenjie was a woman of the world; she basically understood what Bian Mu meant as soon as he finished speaking.

Is the generation gap really that big?

"Almost there. After a while, once the relevant testing standards are clarified, and 85% of the parameters meet the standards and can withstand repeated testing by laboratories at various levels, the approval for the special-effect traditional Chinese medicine will probably be sent back soon."

"Oh...you've really gone all out this time..."

"Not at all! You know this industry better than I do! For a pharmaceutical company like 'Yuan Gu,' which is neither here nor there, how much room for survival do they have left if they don't develop a highly effective traditional Chinese medicine?"

Hearing this, Tao Wenjie fell silent.

After finishing half a glass of juice, Tao Wenjie said with a smile, "That so-called jigsaw puzzle... there must be some special details involved!"

"The truth is, neither of us is likely to be the ones fiddling with puzzle pieces at a desk. Who understands market demand best? The relevant departments, right? By combining the two, the basic puzzle piece will emerge, won't it? I haven't been very clear about the specifics on your end, but... we have a pretty good idea of ​​our capabilities and limitations. At least, I personally believe I should be the final piece of the puzzle, so... if I rush around frantically, wouldn't that disrupt the entire normal process of the puzzle? What good would that do for others, the market, the relevant departments, or myself?! Wouldn't that be self-imposed limitation? How foolish!"

After hearing these words, Tao Wenjie couldn't help but be amazed!
