Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 417 Advance planning and new breakthroughs for my brother
Regarding breaking through the technical barriers of artificially synthesizing bovine insulin abroad.

Wang Mengde was mentally prepared.

If it is a Chinese patent medicine, due to the particularity of Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, as well as the combination of monarch, minister, adjuvant and guiding ingredients, it would be extremely difficult to crack a medicine.

Unless it is a medicine made from a single Chinese herbal medicine, it is possible to test out the specific active ingredients and then provide prevention and treatment.

But Western medicine is different.

These are all chemical components. As long as you spend more time and invest more money, you can figure them out through experiments.

Moreover, the old industrial powers in the West have more advanced technology, knowledge reserves, and financial equipment.

So, he had expected this kind of thing to happen and it was not surprising.

As for his superiors wanting to discuss countermeasures with him, that was also within his expectations.

We already had a plan in place early on.

When the staff member from the Chinese Medical Research Institute came over, he told him about his plan.

after one day.

Because of her good physical condition, she had given birth several times before.

So He Shengnan was discharged from the hospital one day earlier than other mothers.

After Song Meijuan's careful examination, both the adult and the child were in very good condition. It would be more comfortable to go home than to stay in the hospital.

therefore.

After He Shengnan and Ran Xiaomei discussed it, they advocated early discharge from the hospital.

Wang Mengde naturally would not object to such a trivial matter.

It just so happened that there were still many things in his unit waiting for him to deal with when he returned.

After being discharged from the hospital, he had no worries at all with Ran Xiaomei at home and his mother-in-law coming to help take care of him every day.

Nanluoguxiang.

In order to facilitate the mother-in-law's daily visits, they specially returned to the Siheyuan to recuperate after giving birth.

Anyway, there is plenty of honeycomb coal at home.

Long before winter came, Wang Mengde took his ticket to a nearby coal briquette factory and brought back 500 kilograms.

Of course, these are not enough to last for the whole winter, but if you want more later, you can always take the tickets and go and buy them.

If we pull back too much, there won’t be anywhere to put them.

He Shengnan is back, and the neighbors in the courtyard have different thoughts.

People like Sha Zhu, who have a good relationship with the Wang family, would naturally express their sincere congratulations when they meet.

Most people are unhappy secretly.

The truth is that Wang Mengde's family's living standard in recent years is very different from theirs.

As the saying goes: What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

While other families were still calculating and saving money just to have a meal of meat, Wang Mengde's family had already eaten meat every day, and recently they had even had enough.

The two brothers Wang Yuandi and Yaya often took bowls of meat and exchanged food with their peers from the neighbors in the yard.

Even though those people got the advantage, they may not be grateful.

It’s because everyone is not getting enough food to eat, only his family’s situation is special.

Especially Jia Zhang, ever since Ran Xiaomei announced in the yard a few days ago that she had another grandson.

She never smiled.

As a neighbor.

More than 20 years ago, the situations of the two families were similar.

When Lao Jia was alive, he was also a worker and earned no less than Wang Hao.

Besides, they were all children at the time and their ages were not much different.

This situation has gradually become different since liberation.

In 50, Ran Xiaomei gave birth to a pair of twin boys, but Lao Jia died before that due to an accident, so the gap between them widened.

Since Wang Mengde became an adult and started working, there has been a world of difference.

There is only one male child in their family, Banggeng, and the other two are girls.

My son became disabled and did nothing at home all day.

The other family already had four boys and one girl, and that was when Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo were still in the army.

After they came back, they got married and had children, and the Wang family expanded even more.

and so.

Jia Zhang often lay in bed at night, thinking about all sorts of things and complaining in her heart that God was unfair.

Why do all good things happen to the Wang family?

Wang Mengde's home.

Ran Xiaomei was also talking about the brothers Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo.

"Yuan Chao and Wei Guo will be able to return to civilian jobs by November next year."

She counted the time on her fingers.

Although the troops are located in Nankou, which is not too far away and can be reached in two or three hours by bus, there are rules in place and you cannot go and see them whenever you want.

Even though it was related to her son, she knew her limits and understood that she couldn't go too often.

“Well, Mom, in less than a year, they will both be back.

I will find them a good job and ask someone to introduce them to a date. Maybe there will be another happy event in the family next year.”

Wang Mengde sat next to him and comforted him with a smile.

He had everything planned out. After his two younger brothers returned from the army, they would be assigned to the political punishment department.

Even though the welfare benefits for workers in enterprises are very high nowadays, many people would rather work in enterprises than in departments.

But more than a decade later, the situation was reversed.

Moreover.

With him as an older brother, and with his two younger brothers being military veterans, his appearance and personality are impeccable.

In a political punishment unit, one would definitely be like a fish in water.

With future achievements, he might be able to become a powerful leader in a province, city, or region.

Moreover, his family is not short of money, and he will definitely not make mistakes related to financial problems.

As for other aspects, as long as they do not betray the country or kill people, it is not a problem.

“Well, the last time I saw them was three months ago.

They also work very hard in the department, training hard every day and not eating well.

I asked secretly, we can only eat meat once or twice a week, and the amount is not enough.

Fortunately, they often help in the kitchen, so they can grab something to fill their stomachs and satisfy their cravings.”

Ran Xiaomei began to talk about what she learned from her last visit to the army.

“Mom, they’re about to be discharged.

When we get back, you can cook meat for them every day. I will bring home whatever meat they want to eat. I guarantee that Yuan Chao and Wei Guo will get tired of eating meat."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

the next day.

Early in the morning.

Wang Mengde came to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in a happy mood.

"Congratulations, Comrade Wang Mengde, on the birth of your baby boy."

Dean Lu looked at the 'general' sitting opposite him and congratulated him with a smile.

"Thank you, Dean, for granting me a few days' leave."

"Haha, don't be polite, this is the benefit you deserve, I'm just following the rules.

This is a rule you made after you took charge of logistics. When there are births, illnesses, or deaths at home, employees will have a corresponding number of days off."

The two people exchanged a few pleasantries.

Dean Lu knew that Wang Mengde had been on leave for four days and would be busy soon, so he went straight to the point:

“The day before yesterday, I asked the staff to go to the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital to tell you about that.

When the superior heard about it, he praised you several times. "

After West German research institutions announced that they had mastered the artificial synthesis of bovine insulin.

The families that have been responsible for selling Chinese medicines have hinted, intentionally or unintentionally, that the export price of bovine insulin should be reduced.

If it had happened before, the superiors would definitely be worried that with the competition, the sales of this drug would definitely encounter setbacks.

If the foreign exchange income is reduced, it will affect the completion of the annual plan. But now with the "Rejuvenation Pill", only 2,000 pills are released each month, and the income has reached 30 million US dollars.

One reason for limiting the quantity is that the main users of this drug are still in the country.

Another one is hunger marketing.

China plans to wait for a few months and then gradually release more of it.

Otherwise, when powerful people abroad realize that this drug is very popular and the quantity is not as small as imagined, the price may be lowered.

If the export of synthetic bovine insulin is restricted, the foreign exchange lost every month can be completely filled by the sales of "Rejuvenation Pills".

There may even be a lot more.

Therefore, the superiors were not very panicked.

He wanted to discuss things with Wang Mengde purely out of habit and in order to earn more foreign exchange for the country.

"Dean, you also know that now that foreign countries have made a breakthrough in this technology, the export price will definitely drop.

However, I estimate that it will take at least several months for large-scale industrial production abroad.

Therefore, we don’t need to bargain for the time being. We can take advantage of the time difference and earn more foreign exchange. When a large number of similar products appear on the market, we can lower the price at that time.”

The drug was developed by the Beijing Institute of Genetics under his leadership.

But that is produced in the laboratory, which does not mean it can be put into industrial production immediately.

This requires certain technical research.

“Well, I have conveyed your opinion, and my superiors think so too.

Anyway, even if the price is lowered in the future, we won’t lose money on this drug, we just won’t make as much money.”

Dean Lu said with emotion.

It was only in recent years that he understood why they all said: the only way out is to do evil is to sell medicine.

Selling medicine is really profitable.

Especially when it is an exclusive business, the profit can be huge.

Even if the price is high, those people are willing to grit their teeth and buy it, and sometimes they even have to rush to buy it.

“Haha, Dean, I actually anticipated this situation a long time ago.

After all, foreign technology is still in the leading position.

Medicines like this one, which are made from chemical ingredients, will be imitated sooner or later.

Only Chinese patent medicine is our trump card. Even if we give them decades, we may not be able to copy those medicines. "

Wang Mengde said confidently.

later generations.

Traditional Chinese medicine is declining, and most of the medicines on the market are Western medicines.

At that time, Chinese patent medicine had little market in other countries except China.

Naturally, no one would do a losing business by imitating.

But it's different now.

The medicines he developed are currently selling well in many developed countries.

The profits inside can make everyone jealous.

As far as he knows, many top scientific research institutions are still working tirelessly on researching his drugs.

Previously it was the 'Palace Emperor Pill', and many scientific research institutions or countries have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in it.

Some even cost tens of millions of dollars.
But I haven't heard of any substantial progress from that scientific research institution or country.

In fact, the concepts of TCM on monarch, ministers, assistants and adjuvants as well as treatment are completely different from those people's understanding.

Since this year.

After the drug 'Rejuvenation Pill' came out.

It has triggered a research frenzy.

Many scientific research institutions have received large amounts of funding.

Those financial backers had only one request, which was to crack the code of this drug as soon as possible.

pity.

If only Wang Mengde knew.

The investment of these people will be in vain.

"Yes, in China's medical system, the most important thing is still traditional Chinese medicine.

Only traditional Chinese medicine is the most suitable for China."

Dean Lu said happily.

Come out of the dean's office.

Wang Mengde returned to his office and first approved the documents that had been piled up for the past few days. Then he went to the intensive care unit at Guang'anmen Hospital to examine more than a dozen key foreign exchange patients.

These patients and their families are well-informed.

After seeing him, they all congratulated him with a smile and expressed their willingness to give him a big gift.

After a few polite words, when Wang Mengde left, his son, who was only a few days old, was already worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Of course, he would not keep the money for himself, but would hand it all over.

in the afternoon.

Beijing Gene Research Institute.

Liu Shuwei was very excited when he saw him.

"Director Wang, based on the ideas and directions you provided, we have produced new research results.

After continuous research on artificially synthesized bovine insulin, the products produced by the laboratory are now quite effective.

Compared with the previous treatment that required daily use for severe diabetes, this new drug can last for half a month with just one use.

And the quality is better, and it has a greater effect on the condition.”

As early as May and June, Wang Mengde came over once and talked to him about continuing research on artificial synthesis of bovine insulin.

He didn't quite understand it at the time.

After all, according to everyone's understanding, if this drug continues to be studied, at most its effect will be stronger.

But the time and money required are definitely not small.

There is absolutely no need to do such things where the input and output are not proportional.

But after Wang Mengde expressed his thoughts and ideas and explained some key points to them, he became more confident to continue his research.

of course.

He led his team but did not put all his energy into it. Instead, he devoted a small amount of energy and time to research.

Even so, there were results after a few months.

"Yes, this result came out very timely."

Wang Mengde smiled and nodded.

A few months later.

There will definitely be a large amount of artificially synthesized bovine insulin on the foreign market.

By then, a price war will be inevitable.

However, due to the weak industrial foundation of domestic products, the cost will not be too low, and the long distance will also increase the cost a lot.

and so.

Wang Mengde is not optimistic about the domestic situation.

But with new products, the format is different.

This upgraded version of medicine is more convenient to use and has better effects, and will definitely win out in the competition.

"Director Wang, don't worry, we will carry out industrialized large-scale production as soon as possible."

Liu Shuwei assured solemnly.

He also heard about the breakthroughs made by scientific research institutions in West Germany.

"Well, we still have a few months, which is enough."

Wang Mengde was relieved for a moment, and then continued:

"You've all been under a lot of pressure lately. In addition to the research tasks you've already been assigned, you've also got to take on new work. If you have any difficulties or needs, just tell me."

"Director Wang, we really have an unreasonable request and would like to ask for your help."

Liu Shuwei said somewhat embarrassedly.
