Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 415: An Unprecedented Population Migration
Because of the "Rejuvenation Pill".

Now Wang Mengde dares to pat his chest and say loudly that he is not short of money.

It has only been a few months, and the upper class and wealthy circles abroad are basically talking about the magic of this drug.

Unlike several other medicines such as "Palace Emperor Pills", those medicines also have miraculous effects and make people unable to stop taking them.

But compared with the "rejuvenation pill" that can delay aging, the difference is huge.

Other medicines have some alternatives to their effectiveness, but this medicine has the ability to prolong one's life.

The most important thing is that it does not conflict with other life-extending items and can be used at the same time.

And the effects can be superimposed.

Of course, it is not clear whether the superposition of one plus one equals two or one plus one is less than two.

But even so, it is enough to drive everyone who understands it crazy.

Especially those powerful people who are already very old and feel that they are in their twilight years.

They have no shortage of money; they are only afraid of not living long enough.

After all, only by being alive can you enjoy the enviable and beautiful life.

If you really die, what use will it be even if you have a lot of money?

Therefore, even if the price of the 'Rejuvenation Pill' is as high as US$15,000 per pill, the supply of 2,000 pills per month is still in short supply.

Fortunately, the purchase restriction policy was implemented, allowing more people to buy it.

Otherwise, if they were really sold freely, these 2,000 pills per month would only appear in the hands of a dozen of the world's largest families, and no one else would be able to see them at all.

China has an additional foreign exchange income of 30 million US dollars every month, and this money has already been arranged by the higher-ups.

As far as Wang Mengde knows, part of it is used to purchase advanced equipment, industrial products and various materials from abroad.

Part of it will be used for domestic industrial construction, and the remaining one third will be used to develop domestic medical schools and scientific research institutions.

Of course, the country will definitely not use the US dollars domestically, but will exchange them for a corresponding amount of Chinese currency.

This amounted to tens of millions of yuan every month. As long as the Beijing Gene Research Institute applied together with several important units, the deal would be almost certain.

And this matter should be done sooner rather than later.

Otherwise, you will be listed in the plan early, and it will be difficult to apply later.

"Really? As long as a few of us apply to build a school, we don't have to worry about the money needed?"

Director Feng said with a look of disbelief.

The country's economy has not been very good in recent years, and the domestic shortage of materials has never been completely resolved. It is only slightly better than the most difficult times in previous years.

In addition, we don’t have many friends internationally and we are severely blocked.

The domestic financial situation has always been tight.

It is because of Wang Mengde in recent years that the country has exported a large number of medicines, which has brought huge foreign exchange earnings to the country every year, which is better than the original history.

Otherwise, let alone building a school, even the equipment in their genetic research institute would be missing by more than half.

You won’t get meat every other day in the cafeteria, vegetarian dishes won’t be full of oil, and don’t expect to get full with staple foods.

"Director, I can't guarantee that this will work, but there is a high probability that it will work.

By the way, I suggest you do it as soon as possible, and not until next month at the latest, otherwise it will be a year late. "

Wang Mengde explained confidently and also gave a semi-public suggestion.

What he said was equivalent to saying it clearly, but he couldn't say everything, so he kept it to himself.

Director Feng must be a smart person to be able to become a leader.

He understood the meaning of Wang Mengde's words after a little thought.

Suddenly he was overjoyed and said:
"Yes, this matter really cannot be delayed. After the meeting, I will contact the leaders of several units in Beijing and try to get it done next week."

The young man in front of him had extraordinary energy and extensive connections, which were beyond the reach of his director.

Since the other party has said so, if he can't seize this opportunity, he should not be the director.

Next, the meeting continued.

Since the superiors are planning to set up a new research institute, they will definitely have to transfer personnel from the Beijing Gene Research Institute.

At the same time, the Genetic Research Institute must make preparations in advance to take on some of the allocated research work.

Whether it is the deployment of personnel or the allocation of equipment, careful planning is required.

We must complete the tasks assigned by our superiors without affecting the work of the institute itself.

Therefore, this requires careful study and discussion.

As a nominal deputy director, Wang Mengde naturally had no right to get involved in such matters.

He was happy to have some free time since he had nothing to do.

Another hour passed and it was almost time to get off work before the meeting ended.

Wang Mengde was not in a hurry to go back, but walked into the office with Director Feng.

Director Feng planned to have a good chat with him again.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, just now at the meeting, you mentioned applying to establish a school. How big should the school be? How many students should be enrolled in the first year?"

Director Feng’s question is also a form of consultation.

After all, he only heard Wang Mengde say that his superiors had no shortage of money, but he needed to have a rough idea of ​​how much they could take out to build the school.

Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to just write a random number on the application, or leave it blank.

“Director, as for the scale of the school, I suggest one that can accommodate 2,000 teachers and students.

Of course, this cannot be achieved in the first year and can be built over several years.

As for the students we recruited in the first year, there were about a hundred of them, which was enough to divide them into two or three classes. The school had not been built yet, so we could find a temporary place to accommodate them.

It will be safer to slowly increase the number of students to be admitted later."

Wang Mengde already had a draft in his mind, so he just said it out loud.

"Well, you are right, we should be cautious in the first year.

Moreover, building a school cannot be done overnight; it takes time.

We will recruit a small batch of about 100 people first, so that we can find a place to temporarily arrange them. As for teachers, we don’t need many, so there won’t be a shortage of staff in the institute.”

Director Feng said thoughtfully:

“Oh, I actually thought of a temporary place.

Not far from our institute, there are several empty quadrangle courtyards. These used to be owned by wealthy families, but now they are empty and can be used as classrooms and dormitories. "

"Director, this good place will be used soon, so you should apply as soon as possible to avoid being snatched away by other units."

"That's right. I'll contact the leaders of several units right now and we'll get together tomorrow weekend to discuss it so we don't have to wait too long."

After hearing what Wang Mengde said, Director Feng didn't want to delay even a moment.

A week later.

Wang Mengde received a call from Director Feng.

On the other end of the phone, Director Feng excitedly told him that after they joined forces with five other units in Beijing to apply to their superiors, they unexpectedly got approval so quickly.

Their superiors allowed them to jointly establish a college specializing in teaching genetics.

Moreover, the funds will be allocated soon, and a new school will be established in the northwest of the capital in the spring of next year.

As for now, their several units can prepare for enrollment matters together with comrades from educational units.

The three-courtyard quadrangle houses not far from the Genetic Research Institute were also allocated to them for use as temporary classrooms and dormitories.

Their superiors had only one requirement for them, which was that they must not delay the start of classes in September next year.

At the same time, the assigned tasks and research work cannot be neglected.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, this is all thanks to you, otherwise we would have missed it." Director Feng said with a loud laugh.

He had already heard about it from his friends.

A portion of the funds has been allocated from above to support the work of medical schools and research institutions.

Many well-informed units and institutions are gearing up to get a piece of the pie.

However, with more people than money, the seemingly large amount of funds was not enough to be divided.

If he had applied a few days later, his application would probably only be approved after the government allocated new funds next year.

That's why he praised Wang Mengde repeatedly.

"Director, it's good that we caught up. We need to recruit a group of elite students for this first batch.

In the future, the research institute may have to rely on them to take the lead. "

Wang Mengde also said with a smile.

Now due to special reasons, many junior and senior high school students have no time for classes, and the students’ basic knowledge has been neglected a lot.

If I really want to be recommended to study, this kind of subject with high professional and technical requirements cannot be learned by hard work alone.

You must also have a solid foundation and a smart mind.

"Well, Comrade Wang Mengde, don't worry. I have discussed it with the leaders of several other units and I guarantee that all the students who can come in are excellent."

Director Feng said confidently.

Now the country has special support for medical schools and pharmaceutical schools.

With the example of Wang Mengde, the country hopes to have more such great people.

Even if I can't compare with Wang Mengde, it's acceptable to be a little worse.

If a few more people could come up with some research results and then sell the drugs overseas, we could make a lot of money.

The second day after the beginning of winter.

Saturday.

At the bottom of the residential building on the Guang'anmen side, several cars loaded with cabbages were parked at the door of the units.

The families of employees of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital were queuing up in an orderly manner to receive winter-stored vegetables under the command of the logistics department and trade union staff.

"Auntie, I'll help you carry it upstairs later."

In the team, Zhu Tao's wife, Zhou Meijuan, put her hands in her sleeves, shrunk her neck, and said to Ran Xiaomei with a smile.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the weather in Beijing had already entered winter in November.

It feels several degrees colder than in later generations.

Not to mention anything else, in later generations, the capital city could only see two or three snowfalls every year, and they were not thick.

But it is different now. Every year, there is almost a snowstorm in the capital and its surrounding areas.

Heavy snow can even fall overnight, and 20 to 30 centimeters of snow is normal, and there are even cases where it is 40 to 50 centimeters thick.

"Okay, Meijuan, our two families will help each other later."

Ran Xiaomei was not polite and spoke directly.

Zhu Tao’s new two-bedroom apartment is on the fourth floor of the unit next door, while Wang Mengde’s home is on the third floor of this unit.

Because the two people have a good relationship, the two families often visit each other.

"Well, I'll listen to you."

Zhou Meijuan quickly agreed.

Even though Zhu Tao and Wang Mengde have known each other for more than ten years, with the changes and gap in their status, she now tends to curry favor with Ran Xiaomei.

After more than twenty minutes, it was finally Ran Xiaomei's turn.

"Auntie, why did you come here in person to line up? Just give us a call and we will deliver it to your home."

A logistics staff member who was distributing winter vegetables saw Ran Xiaomei and hurried forward to speak.

He had met the other person before and knew that she was Vice President Wang's mother.

"Haha, you guys are already busy enough, how can I have the nerve to delay your work?

We can move back by ourselves, you guys go ahead and do your thing, don’t worry about me.”

Ran Xiaomei laughed twice.

People at her son's workplace respect her, but she doesn't want to be too ostentatious, for fear of causing trouble for her son.

"Auntie, if you need help, just let me know.

By the way, your family has a total of 800 kilograms of first-class Chinese cabbage. I will weigh it and put it at the door of your unit first."

The staff member took a look at the recorded numbers in the notebook, and then began to move the cabbages onto the scale skillfully.

Each of the cabbages in this batch is tightly packed and is of first-rate quality.

It was specially arranged by a leader of the Qiucai Command Center to be delivered.

Wang Mengde had superb medical skills and saved many people.

It took half an hour to transport the cabbages for both families to the doorsteps and both sides of the stairs.

"Meijuan, it's almost time to get off work, so I won't keep you at home for dinner.

Take this piece of pork belly and half a pound of vermicelli home and stew them with Chinese cabbage to make a signature dish. "

Ran Xiaomei simply washed her hands, then took out about a pound of pork belly and half a pound of vermicelli from the kitchen and stuffed them into Zhou Meijuan's hands.

"Aunt, I can't take it. We have meat at home. It's all welfare provided by Zhu Tao's company."

Zhou Meijuan quickly and vigorously declined.

"Hey, your brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law all need help, and the benefits given by the company are not enough to share.

There is a lot of meat at my house, you can take it and come back to help me pickle some vegetables."

Ran Xiaomei forced the thing into her hand and pushed her out of the door without saying a word.

Looking at the delicious pork belly in her hand, Zhou Meijuan walked downstairs, feeling grateful in her heart.

She planned to come here more often to help her aunt with some work to make up for it, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.

Sunday.

Nanluoguxiang Siheyuan.

Wang Mengde borrowed a flatbed truck and brought back some cabbages from the vegetable store.

Even though there is no shortage of vegetables at home in winter, we still habitually store a lot of winter vegetables so that we can feel at ease.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yan Jiekuang, the third son of Yan Bugui's family, saw him pulling the flatbed cart and rushed over to help push it.

"Brother Meng De, I will help you arrange the cabbage."

"Thank you for letting me know. What year are you in now?"

"Brother Meng De, you're welcome. I'm in the second grade this year, but I don't go to school often now."

"I'm in junior high school."

Wang Mengde said thoughtfully.

He remembered that in December of this year, China would carry out a nationwide and unprecedented large-scale population migration.

The main migration is from cities to rural and remote areas.

The main force is junior and senior high school students in grades 6, 7 and 8.

Later they were called the "Old Third Generation", but basically they all went to the countryside and the mountains.
