Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 544 Chinese Medicine
"My boss has high hopes for me again?" Li Yan smiled as he pushed the last box of information to a young man and patted him on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work."

"What do you mean again? It's always been good."

"I was in a hurry to ask you to talk to Secretary Huang."

It's about the time when Li Yan gave China the highest award for research on the active ingredients of medicinal materials.

This decision caused an uproar in society.

Fans and haters of Chinese medicine are arguing fiercely on the Internet.

Some people think that Li Yan's move is some kind of official signal, and that the scientific research of Chinese medicinal materials will be officially launched; others think that it is Li Yan's personal will, and a charge to launch an attack on Chinese medicine...

The arguments on the Internet are mainly divided into three camps. One camp believes that it is a great thing to bring Chinese medicine and drugs "under the sun". Among them, there are relatively moderate ones, who say that it is "the only way to move towards science" and "to carry forward the wisdom of our ancestors", and they can be classified as moderates. There are also relatively radical ones, who say that "the underwear of Chinese medicine should be exposed" and "the absurdity of aristolochic acid should not be repeated", and the main analysis is from a negative direction.

One group takes the "rationalist" approach, analyzing the difficulties of this operation from a professional perspective and expressing certain doubts. The key is that the various components within natural medicinal materials interact with each other, which may convert ineffective components into effective components. The research is too difficult and should be viewed with caution.

In fact, the overall support was expressed, but it immediately became the gun of the third faction.

The loyal fans of Huayi are completely standing on the opposite side of future technology, but they know that they have no intention of "denying" the research on the effective ingredients of Huayi medicinal materials. It is a good thing to promote the development of Huayi, so they dare not speak out.

Ever since the rationalist faction provided arguments, their voices have been louder than anyone else.

In the end, there is one thing that comes to mind: "Chinese medicine is mysterious and unparalleled. The wisdom and experience of our ancestors over thousands of years are not applicable to the research methods of modern medicine."

He even drew a target for himself, saying that humans are still unable to figure out the mystery of nature's combination of medicinal herbs. If the results of the exploration are inconsistent with the facts, it would be a "heinous crime" to put a negative label on Chinese medicine.

In these messy discussions, there is a set of hidden arguments, which is exactly what Secretary Huang and Shi Lei talked about with Li Yan:

Issues of interest.

There is no doubt that Chinese medicine has a very long history and has formed its own diagnosis and treatment system. It is wrong to deny its effectiveness and value.

But at the same time, we cannot ignore the huge industrial chain behind it.

Many medicines are named "health care" and they will not kill people and do not require specific treatment. The annual consumption is very alarming.

If some research is used to show that "the active ingredients are actually equivalent to a certain category of prescription drugs", or directly states that "the drug is ineffective for treatment and conditioning", the impact will definitely cause a large number of people to resist.

Effective drugs do not need Li Yan to prove their effectiveness, and ineffective drugs cannot be contained by Li Yan’s “incomplete” research alone.

If the best outcome is to tell everyone that "modern medicine is all one", then Chinese medicine will really only be left with a set of thousands of years of experience that can occasionally bring new ideas.

To put it in a broader sense, the country does not allow this.

Just as Huang Guohui said, "It is a good thing to cure diseases and save lives and promote the development of Chinese medicine, but we must pay attention to the methods and approaches. For so many years, the country has been conducting research. For example, the toxicity of aristolochic acid cannot be ignored by the country. Scientific research also has its limitations. Who knows whether modern medical drugs will bring invisible side effects? And are the effective ingredients of Chinese medicine the result of the action of multiple elements?"

This basically represents the official attitude.

You can do it, but don't do it in a big way, and don't draw any conclusions directly from your research results.

"But the toxicity of aristolochic acid will not disappear just because it is combined with other elements. As long as it is still aristolochic acid."

This was Li Yan’s attitude at the beginning, let the facts speak for themselves.

The meeting in early March was probably the first time that Li Yan had an unpleasant conversation with Huang Guohui.

In the end, Huang Guohui got a promise from Li Yan that "once there is a research conclusion, it will be passed to the official internal department first", so he found a way out and did not part on bad terms.

"Secretary Huang certainly has his considerations. Everyone has different perspectives." Shi Lei said slowly.

"So what are you considering today?"

"Not really." Shi Lei waved his hand. "I'm not an expert in life sciences. If I have to say, it's the partners of your soon-to-be-opened Life Science Research Center who should be worried. Wan Keming has been asked so many times to answer questions related to your research."

“They don’t dare to ask me.”

"What are you saying? Have you given them a chance to interview you?"

"Okay," Li Yan finished packing the materials borrowed from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and stretched himself. "If you also want to persuade me today, then I will make it clear directly. My attitude will not change."

"I'm not trying to persuade you, Li Yan. I'm just talking to you about some academic stuff." Shi Lei said, "If these Chinese medicines do have natural ingredients to help reduce the toxicity of some of the symptomatic ingredients and improve their efficacy, then..."

"I can find these helpful ingredients."

Shi Lei shut up.

"Professor Shi," Li Yan walked to the sofa and sat down, "I have never done this research to reject the idea of ​​Chinese medicine, nor do I intend to eat up the big cake of Chinese medicine. I just want to borrow the wisdom of our ancestors to try to find a new breakthrough."

"Breakthrough?" Shi Lei was stunned and his eyes quickly widened.

What is the breakthrough that even Li Yan is looking for?
"I'll tell you what it is after I break through."

"Hey, just tell me, is there anything we can't talk about?"

Li Yan looked at him with an unspeakable look, which made Shi Lei feel creepy all over.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen when you're willing to talk."

When it came to moving offices, Li Yan found the long-lost happiness.

I didn't expect that after making so much money, the greatest material pleasure I felt was in decorating my office.

"It's good to have money." He even expressed such emotion to Wei Yunzhi.

Because Li Yan is essentially a person with very low material desires. This was true in his previous life when he was not rich, and it is still true today when he is rich enough to rival a country.

On the one hand, when spiritual pursuits are placed first, material desires will naturally be neglected; on the other hand, it is also related to the general family conditions. In his previous life, Li Yan was able to live a pretty good life, which was actually due to his parents' hard work in saving money. Therefore, the money-saving education he received since childhood will more or less lead to "guilt about spending money."

After his rebirth, he also had a period of overlapping elementary school, which happened to be the time when Li Yan's family was the poorest.

His numerical intelligence allowed him to analyze his inner self, so he understood that “spending money without happiness” was simply because he did not “spend money for himself.” Li Yan, who had not formed a habit of spending money, rarely got excited about simply spending money, even if he was free from the guilt of spending money.

He used to calculate costs, but now he doesn’t even need to calculate costs. Even shopping with high cost-performance ratio can hardly stimulate him.

Buying luxury goods was never his interest.

Li Yan once thought that this was one of the prices for making a lot of money after rebirth, similar to the kind of misplaced punishment of "having enough money to buy video game consoles but not having the mood to play them."

As a result, when it came to decorating the office completely according to her own will, Li Yan looked like a newly developed person, and every day she had to act out the famous scene of "if you have money you can do whatever you want" with Wei Yunzhi.

Li Yan drew the texture of the wall tiles she imagined. The stone merchant found more than ten samples, but Li Yan was not satisfied with any of them. Finally, the stone merchant had no choice but to say, "The one that best suits your needs may be in the coast of Northern Europe. There is a small craftsman town that may be able to fire them." Also, "You only need four pieces. You will lose money on this trip." What should he do?
Just add money.

It’s such a simple principle. No matter what construction difficulties cannot be solved, what customized details cannot be completed, or what special materials cannot be obtained, nothing can’t be done with just two words: “add money”.

If you can't do it, I'll pay more and replace you.

If you have money, don't even think about ghosts pushing the mill. Even the mill can push ghosts. As long as you have enough money, I can give you a super torque motor to push the ghosts into a ball.

Before the renovation, he complained to Wei Yunzhi, "My requirements are too high. I think neither the construction team nor the purchaser can meet my needs, so I would rather just let them meet the functional requirements."

It turns out that all dissatisfaction can be solved by spending money.

In the end, even the curvature of the floor joints had to be measured - although Li Yan did not make any requirements, the construction team was made up of all top veterans in the industry who considered themselves "craftsmen". After taking so much money, they would not be satisfied unless they created a work of art for Li Yan.

But the office that was finally completed is not "luxurious" at all, because Li Yan did not actually use any elements that could show off the luxury at a glance. Instead, he pursued simplicity and restraint. All the sophistication is in the subtle perceptions.

Perfect seams, perfect pattern, perfect scale, perfect experience.

This is an office where even the window frames can be photographed for appreciation.

As the client, Li Yan put forward the requirements of "simple but not simplistic, high-end but not luxurious, serious but vivid, transparent space and complex vision".

Party B looked at the budget while holding a meeting and denounced that "Party A is generally evil." When the budget was increased the next day, everyone felt that Mr. Li's requirements were really fucking challenging. After telling Li Yan the difficulties and getting a second budget increase, everyone praised Li Yan's ideas as brilliant.

On April 2015, 4, the day before May Day and the day when the Jiaolong mobile phone was released, Future Technology completed the basic overall office relocation and officially moved into the Future Building, which is "the same color as the blue sky".

Li Yan has been exhausted in the past half month. Obviously, compared with Li Yan himself, the relocation of Future Technology is more important to others.

Many companies treated the celebration of Future Technology's relocation as a top priority. Some people who usually have no right to sit at the table also took the opportunity to send a lot of gifts. The company name clearly visible on the bouquet was the purpose.

There was a very funny auto parts manufacturer that gave its CEO a business card made of gold as a gift, which became a joke in Future Technology’s spare time.

But isn’t it a bit too much to turn even the subsidiaries into a celebratory competition?
Each subsidiary has put so much thought into making congratulations, even though many of its offices and headquarters are located in the Future Building. How can I congratulate myself?
Official guests also came one after another. Li Yan had not planned to receive them originally, but it was the most complicated for her to keep the office clean. She saw them everywhere as she walked around. Even though they came to congratulate her with good intentions, it was not appropriate to put on airs, so she could only receive them one after another.

Sun Miao was very happy. Li Yan was responsible for attending and meeting with senior executives, while other reception tasks were led by Sun Miao, one of which was to take people to visit the Future Building.

Starting from the exterior of the building, they talked all the way from the garden downstairs to the lobby to the main floors to the top floor and then back to the reception room, from Baijiang New City to the projector in the reception room. He repeated this routine at least twelve times in half a month.

But he never tires of it.

It's amazing that Li Yan would rarely express high praise for Sun Miao at this time.

Social energy consumption is the same even for Li Yan, whose values ​​have already reached the pinnacle.

This is the basic color of one's personality and will not change due to the increase in ability values.

"After all, they are human beings." Li Yan sighed.

I've had this thought more than once or twice recently...

When the value reaches a certain height, the attributes of being human become more eye-catching, especially the side that is close to "human nature". The mind that reaches 9 points is always trying to maintain this side.

Ah... Li Yan can already imagine what kind of thinking she will face in the future.

The most talked about topic within Future Technology regarding the relocation in the past half month was which family's gifts and blessings would make Li Yan most satisfied.

In fact, Li Yan didn't care at all. When Future Technology officially started production, the two rows of flowers placed in a long dragon at the door would be piled up in the warehouse. Many companies' various little tricks would not even get his extra glance in the end.

What he really cares about is "staying away from Linghu District."

The office location is moved to Baijiang New City, Xinqiao District, so it is more troublesome for Li Yan to go to Linda in Linghu. He really likes the days of reading with Wei Yunzhi in the small library, which is peaceful, fulfilling and uplifting.

It's wonderful to be able to let him habitually find another state outside of work.

Wei Yunzhi was also struggling with this matter.

In fact, it is only a 40-minute drive away, which is not impossible for both parties.

But it is obvious that Li Yan's time is very precious, and it is unlikely that she would be willing to spend an hour and a half commuting every day for a peaceful evening reading and communication time.

Wei Yunzhi thought that she would run from Linda to the Future Building to see Li Yan every day, and the two of them continued to read books, chat and fall in love in Li Yan's office.

However, Li Yan disagreed, saying that this would consume too much of Wei Yunzhi's energy.

Neither of them could persuade the other, and then Wei Yunzhi's mentor suddenly made a request: he was also seeking an opportunity to study a topic at the Future Technology Linjiang Life Science Research Center.

Suddenly, the matter was resolved perfectly.

Wei Yunzhi continued his follow-up research and studies at the Life Science Research Center not far from the Future Building, and stayed together in Li Yan's magical office at night.

"It's just far from the dormitory." The beautiful girl raised the difficulty.

"There's a lounge in the Future Building and the Research Center. If that doesn't work, I'll buy you one now."

"Don't we have one? Huajiang No. 1."

Ok?
