Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 420 Conservative Plan and Cooperation with Western Medicine

Set tasks for the new year.

The superiors are full of confidence and are preparing to launch a "big satellite".

After all, last year alone, pharmaceutical exports earned $1 billion in revenue.

Moreover, on this basis, with the addition of the "Rejuvenation Pill", it is hard for foreign exchange earnings not to increase significantly.

So, he boldly gave a $1.3 billion mission at first.

This is also a number that all leaders in the health and family planning departments have recently worked out.

This number is of course a bit conservative.

There is a high probability that more "rejuvenation pills" will be released after the New Year.

Even if the price does not increase, one pill costs 15,000 US dollars. If we produce 1,000 more pills, the foreign exchange income will be nearly 200 million yuan a year.

Besides, it’s only a matter of time before the price of this drug goes up.

It's not that China wants to raise the price, but that the buyers took the initiative to ask for it.

In order to get this drug, they would do anything.

He even resorted to tactics that harmed others and did not benefit himself.

In order to please, or to eliminate some potential competitors, they are willing to spend more money and also set obstacles for others.

If artificial bovine insulin had not been successfully developed in West Germany, the higher authorities would certainly have been bolder.

I dare not say the task is 1.4 billion, but I still dare to report the number of 1.35 billion.

Wang Mengde naturally also saw the concerns of his superiors from the materials.

Although he is confident that with the successful development of the new artificial bovine insulin, China will still have a place in the big pie of the overseas market.

And it has occupied most of the market for a long time.

But others are not clear, and it is inevitable to have this worry.

So, he didn't say it.

Anyway, the increase from US$1 billion to US$1.3 billion is already a significant increase.

Besides, this number is just an estimate, and the final result will still depend on the statistics released by this time next year.

The meeting lasted until noon.

It was just time for lunch, so everyone stayed here for lunch.

Dean Lu went back first because he had something urgent to do.

Today, Mr. Pu came to provide daily health care for a senior leader and happened to meet Wang Mengde and others, so they stayed together.

In the cafeteria.

A dozen people who came for the meeting gathered together.

Thanks to the special care of the superiors and Wang Mengde's help, as well as the large amount of supplies donated by foreign patients, the food in the canteen of the superior department has improved much more than a few years ago.

Not to mention the meat dishes, you can tell from the oil and water in the vegetarian dishes alone.

The soup and the dishes are covered with oil.

Even the staple food is mainly made of Erhe noodles, supplemented by a small amount of white flour steamed buns and steamed corn bread.

As long as you can eat it, there is no limit on how much you can buy.

The only thing is that you can’t take food back from the cafeteria.

Mr. Fan took a bite of the steamed bun and picked up a piece of fried cabbage with oil residue. He glanced at Wang Mengde beside him and then said in a low voice:

"Comrade Wang Mengde, you showed up again today.

Your superior leader mentioned your name seven or eight times at the meeting and called on everyone to learn from you.

It is true that heroes emerge young. We have lived for decades, but we are not even one-tenth as good as you."

"Oh, Mr. Fan, please don't say that. You are all my predecessors and my role models."

Wang Mengde was shocked when he heard this.

You know, everyone here is a leading figure in the field of Chinese and Western medicine.

Although not as great as his achievements.

But everyone has considerable energy, with various complex relationships, as well as fellow disciples and a large number of outstanding disciples.

If he really doesn't know his place and offends someone out of pride, he'll be in trouble.

Even if he is not afraid of trouble, he will still feel uncomfortable.

and.

Mr. Fan's words were obviously a prelude to praise him, and there must be some purpose behind it.

This forced him to cheer up.

Sure enough, his guess was correct.

Next, Mr. Fan and several other people kept praising him while eating.

Nice words come out of your mouth for free.

On the other hand, Pu Lao had naturally noticed the problem a long time ago.

But he remained calm and silent.

Because he believed that his disciple could definitely handle it.

Seeing that the meal was about to end, Mr. Fan and the others looked at each other and realized that if they didn't tell their true intentions, they would lose their chance.

So Mr. Fan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile:

"Comrade Wang Mengde, at the meeting just now, the superior leaders mentioned this year's tasks, in addition to the export of medicines being the largest part.
The only one left is your Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Last year, the medical fees for foreign patients reached more than 100 million US dollars. To be honest, I still can't believe it.

If my superiors hadn’t mentioned this number repeatedly and it hadn’t been clearly stated in the materials, I would have thought there was an extra zero.”

"That's right, your Guang'anmen Hospital is amazing. The foreign exchange income this year is equivalent to millions of tons of grain."

"That's right, it's quite shocking.

Unlike our institute, the export value of the drugs we developed last year was only a pitiful two million US dollars, not even a fraction of that.”

"Hey, your unit has foreign exchange income, but our hospital only earned about 100,000 US dollars in foreign exchange last year.

It was just a coincidence that we found a few foreign patients who had escaped from Guang'anmen Hospital."

After Mr. Fan spoke first, the others also started talking.

Everyone first praised Wang Mengde, and then lamented the difficulties of their own unit.

Wang Mengde also heard some meaning from these people's words.

However, he did not point it out. Instead, he listened carefully and gave a few words of comfort from time to time.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, we all know that you cover a very wide range of knowledge.

Not to mention Chinese medicine, it can be said that he has reached the level of a grand master at a young age.

As for Western medicine, judging from your lectures, you are not much behind us, and are definitely much better than us.

If you have any ideas or thoughts recently and you are busy, we can collaborate and study together.

Don't worry, when the results are out, you will get the lion's share, and we will just be the supporting role. We just hope that the foreign exchange earned from the export of the results can be counted towards our unit."

Seeing that everyone had put down their chopsticks, Mr. Fan couldn't help but speak out the ideas that they had discussed in advance.

Before coming to the meeting.

They got together, and while chatting, Mr. Fan suddenly had an idea and wanted to work with Wang Mengde.

At the beginning, some people expressed doubts.

The other party is a rising star in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and a future leader.

How could we give such good things to Western medicine?

But after Mr. Fan's analysis, everyone felt that this was indeed possible.

After all, various previous vaccines and many Western medicines were also developed under the leadership of Wang Mengde.

Simultaneously.

The 'Human Genome Project' will bring immeasurable benefits to the future of Western medicine.

Therefore, several people felt that there was a chance. It just so happened that Dean Lu was away due to some emergency matters, which was a blessing from heaven.

At this time, Pu Lao could no longer sit still.

He knew his disciple's abilities, and any little bit of his skills he revealed were all incredible.

If I really cooperate with these people.

Although the higher-ups are happy to see this, many people at the Chinese Medical Research Institute are probably grumbling in their hearts.

This would be an obstacle for Wang Mengde to become the dean in the future.

Therefore, he planned to stop his apprentice when he was about to agree.

Wang Mengde also noticed the change in Pu Lao's expression, and he understood his teacher's concerns.

So he nodded to Mr. Pu first, then said with a smile:

"Mr. Fan, I cannot make the decision on your proposal. After all, I am from the Chinese Medical Research Institute.

If you have the intention to cooperate, please communicate with President Lu. No matter what the result is, I will obey the arrangement of the unit. "

In fact, Wang Mengde had this intention in his mind.

No matter how traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine compete, it is China's internal matter.

But it’s different abroad.

Although those countries and families are turning a blind eye to the medicines exported from China, they are even giving the green light to some medicines.

But once they develop a substitute, they will turn against us instantly.

the most important is.

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Even if there is a competitive relationship, they can also become complementary.

With his current level of medical skills and the vision of future generations, we also know how great the potential of Western medicine is in the future.

Even if Western medicine in the country is completely suppressed.

But people abroad are powerless.

Therefore, he felt that it would be better to improve the level of Western medical technology in the country.

In another ten or twenty years, we will join hands to go abroad and compete with foreign pharmaceutical groups.

Of course, he couldn't say these words for the time being, but he was just showing that he had no objection to Western medicine.

Mr. Fan and his friends did feel a little regretful that he did not agree directly, but it was also within their expectations.

What surprised them was that from what Wang Mengde said, it seemed that he already had some ideas.

It seems that I need to try my best to persuade President Lu.

Thinking of this, Mr. Fan laughed and said:

“Hahaha, Comrade Wang Mengde, just your words are enough.

Let's make an appointment with Lao Lu and then we will go to the Chinese Medical Research Institute to visit you together.

I've always heard that the food in your company is good, but I haven't had the chance to try it yet. This is a good opportunity to give it a try."

“Welcome seniors to our unit.

Don't worry, the food will not disappoint you."

Wang Mengde also said with a smile.

After eating.

Mr. Fan and others went back, but Mr. Pu and Wang Mengde had to wait for their superiors.

The secretary just said hello that the senior leader had just gone out for something and will not be back until around 1:30 in the afternoon.

We found a meeting room and let Mr. Pu rest for a while.

When it was almost half past one, the staff came over to remind us that the senior leader would be back soon.

In a living room.

The senior leader looked exhausted. He took a sip of hot tea and said embarrassedly:

"Mr. Pu, Comrade Wang Mengde, I just had an important meeting and I'm sorry for not welcoming you properly."

"Leader, you're welcome!

Work is important, and we had a good lunch.”

Pu Lao said cheerfully.

"Well, Mr. Pu, next time you come over, I will treat you well again."

The senior leader then said to Wang Mengde:
"Comrade Wang Mengde, you have been burdened with a lot of pressure lately.

The Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital cannot do without you, and the newly established research institute also needs you because of the "Human Genome Project".

You will have to endure some hardship during this period, but once the new institute is on track, things will get better.”

He learned that Wang Mengde had been working overtime frequently in the past two months.

With another baby in the family, there is a lot of pressure in both life and work.

“Leader, I can overcome these difficulties.

In a few months, things will get easier.”

At the beginning of the 'Human Genome Project', many researchers didn't know how to start their work.

Once he led me into the door, all that was left was to conduct research according to the direction.

From now on, he only needs to grasp the general direction.

"correct.

There was something I didn't say at the meeting today for confidentiality reasons.

That is to use the 'Palace Emperor Maru' to exchange industrial equipment, raw materials, industrial products, etc. in the northeastern border area with the north. "

"According to statistics from the Northeast, the amount of money we got in exchange is not a small amount. If we use foreign exchange to buy it, it would cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars."

The superior leader said again with a hint of apology.

After several months, the issue of exchanging medicines for industrial materials has been completely stabilized.

The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are getting involved in polar bears.

The profits here allow both parties to get what they want and are very satisfied.

“Leaders from the industrial sector and several provinces in the northeast have mentioned this to me several times.

It is said that thanks to the medicine you developed, it is much more effective against polar bears than strong liquor.

This kind of medicine is considered hard currency in the northern country, on the same level as the US dollar, and sometimes even higher.

Last year, the industrial development in Northeast China grew much faster than expected, and you have made a great contribution to this.

It’s just that due to confidentiality, it cannot be announced to the public, so I hope you can understand. ”

Regarding what the superior leader said.

Wang Mengde had actually anticipated this.

When Liang Mancang talked to him on the phone, he said a lot, intentionally or unintentionally.

It is said that around April, because of his outstanding work, he will be transferred to the capital to take up a position that is much better than previously imagined.

Among these, the exchange of medicines for industrial materials played a decisive role.

Return to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Wang Mengde went directly to President Lu's office and reported everything that Mr. Fan had just said.

"Dean, this is the situation. Mr. Fan and his team want to cooperate with our unit. All we need to do is give them some research ideas and thoughts, and their unit will do the research."

Dean Lu did not speak immediately, but thought for a while before asking:
"Comrade Wang Mengde, what do you think?"

"Dean, I will follow the arrangements of the unit."

"Okay, I can't make the decision on this matter, so let's hold a meeting to discuss it. It will be an agenda item at tomorrow's meeting."

Dean Lu pondered for a moment and said.
