Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2522 Mutual Learning
Lei Xueming is indeed quite capable. After years of navigating the business world, he has cultivated a more composed and experienced personality. In recent years, with the booming pharmaceutical economy, he and his team have certainly benefited greatly from the era's dividends.

Nowadays, Lei Xueming feels the increasing pressure of market competition, and the team he built from scratch is starting to fall behind.

Bian Mu's sudden rise to prominence gradually attracted Lei Xueming's attention.

Lei Xueming's team spent nearly half a year repeatedly studying the magical "detox cream" and also collected information about Bian Mu's personal resume from various sources. In the end, the team's conclusions were contradictory.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Bian Mu's medical and pharmaceutical research experience was extremely simple, almost like a blank sheet of paper!
With unclear lineage and a meager family background, it's truly astonishing that the Bian family hasn't acquired a single private residence of their own, whether in their hometown of Lishi County or in Lijin City.
however……

The "detox cream" is indeed very effective, long-lasting and of high quality, with a mild medicinal effect. To this day, it is almost impossible to detect any specific side effects.

Under laboratory conditions, Lei Xueming's team completely replicated a nearly identical traditional Chinese medicine. However, animal experiments proved that the generic drug was still some distance from Bian's "Detoxifying Plaster". Lei Xueming was unwilling to give up and spent a lot of money to change laboratories and replicated it several more times. He used all the technologies he could think of, but the efficacy of the drug was always maintained at about 70% of the original drug.

Privately, Lei Xueming was greatly shocked!
Lei Xueming was not convinced. He was convinced that there was definitely a "shadow team" behind Bian Mu, and it was a high-level team with exceptionally amazing technical strength. Maybe... the team even hired a lot of foreigners.

In any case, the main business he was currently handling had been struggling to achieve a qualitative breakthrough. After making some simple arrangements, Lei Xueming, accompanied by several assistants, arrived in Lijin. Lei Xueming had always been quite popular in the business circle, and he was quickly settled in a simple villa.

Both were in the pharmaceutical industry, and it's common for two people with the same surname to be associated with the same surname. Before long, through a friend's introduction, Lei Xueming and Lei Xiaoxuan started catching up on their family history, half-jokingly and half-seriously. After chatting for a few times, they quickly found a common ground: What exactly is Bian Mu's background? Is he really that mysterious?!
With Lei Xiaoxuan's help, Lei Xueming quickly revised the generic drug development plan, and this time the data of the laboratory-grade generic drug produced was significantly improved.

Lei Xueming continued to seek out industry insiders closer to Bian Mu and continued to improve the laboratory replication plan. The parameters in the laboratory were gradually increased, but unfortunately, the progress was extremely slow...

Later, Lei Xueming chose to give up!

Lei Xueming ultimately concluded that Bian Mu had definitely added something to the "poison-removing ointment" that no other industry peers had ever encountered before, and that those things or processes were added outside of the relevant workshops of "Hongyang" company.

To this end, Lei Xueming tried every means to contact An Delin, Guan Yuelin and others, but all his efforts were in vain.

How shrewd An Delin is! After repeatedly reviewing the situation privately, he and his wife easily arrived at a very simple conclusion: Lei Xueming's painstaking efforts to take this step could only be because he privately admitted that he was less skilled than others! How old is Lei Xueming?! How old is Bian Mu?! Isn't their future prospects obvious?!
Moreover, Bian Mu is undoubtedly a top-tier medical expert, and Lei Xueming is still half as good as him in this lifetime! Dual cultivation in medicine is true dual cultivation in medicine; Lei Xueming probably won't be able to make up for this technical shortcoming even in his next life.

Guan Yuelin is even more cunning! He's an industry insider who has truly witnessed Cao Qiling's abilities. Compared to Cao Qiling, Lei Xueming is still far behind! Bian Mu, on the other hand, is completely different. Combining the strengths of many schools is definitely his forte. Even a fool could easily imagine how strong his future technological prospects are.

To this day, despite Lei Xueming's efforts, the best result for laboratory-grade generic drugs remains at the critical 73.5% success rate, no matter how hard his team tries.

In this way, Lei Xueming was no longer able to leave.

In the stillness of the night, Lei Xueming gradually realized one thing: Bian Mu was a formidable hurdle in his future life. If he crossed it, everything would be smooth sailing; if he couldn't, he feared he would never be able to continue working in the field of traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Therefore, Lei Xueming completely revised his principles for dealing with Bian Mu: submit first, then worry about the future!
An Delin suddenly proposed to invest in the acquisition of the obsolete patent drug case that he had shelved, and this matter also directly involved Bian Mu. After careful consideration, Lei Xueming readily sold the patent to "Hongyang" Pharmaceutical Company for 117 million yuan.

Lei Xueming wanted to see for himself how Bian Mu could turn the impossible into reality!

……

That evening, just after getting off work, Bian Mu called Dian Shuhua to inform him that the pharmaceutical research experiments would be suspended for a period of time. All the previous experiments would have to be redone with a new group of people; the experimental site and procedures would remain the same, only the personnel would be changed. Bian Mu didn't say anything else.

Xiao Xiaoqin gave the same explanation. Besides, Xiao Xiao has been busy with two things lately and hasn't earned a penny more. She should take this opportunity to rest and recuperate.

After briefly explaining things to his colleagues, Bian Mu drove off to find Lao Hou to discuss some matters.

In the open-air parking lot, Bian Mu opened the trunk and pointed it out to Lao Hou.

"This larger wooden box contains the 'Hanyun Cauldron,' an alloy medicine cauldron. The smaller one is called the 'Xiushi Cauldron,' a stone-metal combination cauldron. I've already printed out the specific usage instructions and sealed them in the boxes. Please arrange a time for General Manager An to send someone to pick them up. The sole purpose is to extract the unique medicinal properties of earthworm, an animal-derived medicine that deeply penetrates the meridians. Of course, these two cauldrons alone are definitely not enough. Their company's R&D center will need to carefully design a combination plan, bringing together all aspects of their research and development capabilities. That's all I'll say; I won't mention anything else!"

"Alright! On the surface, it's a loan to President An, but actually it's a test for Lei Xueming's team, right?"

Bian Mu smiled and nodded gently.

"Lei Xueming was originally very talented, but later he started to take shortcuts and take unorthodox methods. He abandoned some really good methods for refining medicinal properties. This time, we have actually pointed him to a new path to start anew. We'll see if he can handle it!"

"You're amazing! Lei Xueming definitely won't take a bite!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu gently shook his head.

"He's an industry elite after all, with his best annual profit reaching over 100 million! And that's after tax! Who would believe he doesn't have some real ability?! Let's take this opportunity to learn a few tricks from him. In the next two years, anyone who's complacent and stagnant will suffer a terrible fate!"

"Wow! You had such a powerful backup plan!"

With a calm smile, Bian Mu replied, "It's not really a business transaction, more like a business discussion! Compared to them, we're adorably naive! Seriously, starting today, we really need to learn from them."

Old Hou smiled but didn't say anything.
