Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 474 Strategic Shift and Overtaking on a Curve

The delegation that attended the WHO assembly has returned home.

Their mission this time can be said to have been successfully completed.

Not only did they participate in a world-class event, but they also announced an achievement at the conference in front of hundreds of representatives from various countries.

This achievement has put most countries on edge.

They certainly wouldn't doubt Wang Mengde's research findings and judgments.

Moreover, since China has announced this achievement in front of so many countries, it must have absolute confidence in its success.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will become a huge international joke.

and so.

Many countries are very anxious.

But even if you're extremely anxious, there's nothing you can do.

China only released the research results, including information on the characteristics, transmission routes, and harms of the AIDS virus.

It didn't say how to prevent and test for it.

If we rely solely on the symptoms to identify HIV patients, it will be too late.

But there's nothing we can do about it; even China itself hasn't yet developed a way to detect it.

Everyone could only watch helplessly.

For China today, this problem does not exist.

After all, the AIDS virus is currently only spreading in small numbers in Africa, and the transmission routes also indicate that Chinese people are not easily infected.

In addition, there isn't much communication between the country and the outside world at present.

They are not casual or open about relationships between men and women.

Therefore, there is essentially no risk or fertile ground for transmission.

Back to the Genome Project Institute.

Razer still felt a little unreal.

He actually gave a speech at the WHO assembly and it was a success.

Just now at the airport, after I got off the plane, my superiors and relevant city leaders came to pick me up.

She not only shook his hand but also praised him several times.

Simultaneously.

After returning to the office.

His superiors at work also treated him much more politely.

The director and several deputy directors also greeted him with smiles.

His close friends were secretly envious, saying that he had become a national hero.

Even the Huaguo Daily published a photo of him giving a speech on its second page yesterday, with the content full of praise.

He is now finally experiencing what it feels like to be famous.

This was still at work; if it were back home, it would probably cause a sensation in the area where I live.

There will definitely be quite a few neighbors coming over to chat.

"Comrade Lei Ze, congratulations on successfully completing the mission."

Wang Mengde held his hand and said with a smile.

He had just learned about the delegation's experiences abroad over the past few days and hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

At first, he was worried that the United States and other countries might sabotage the situation.

But not even a ripple appeared.

"Director Wang, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Lei Ze held Wang Mengde's hand tightly and said with gratitude.

He already knew that the other party had recommended him.

It can be said that he owes most of his success to the young man in front of him, who is even younger than him.

He is now famous, but he is not arrogant or complacent.

He understood that his success was due to Wang Mengde's recognition and patronage.

Even without him, there would be others for this project, such as Liu Shuwei, whose abilities and knowledge are no less than his.

Moreover, there are quite a few people in China who are similar to him, and some are even more capable than him.

All of these people are qualified to be project leaders.

"Comrade Lei Ze, have you encountered anything strange in the United States?"

Wang Mengde, undeterred, asked another question.

"Director Wang, there really are some strange things."

Not long after I finished my speech, a representative from the United States suddenly visited.

By the way, he was accompanied by two WHO staff members, Thomas and Carter.

They were received by Commander Zhang and several other leaders, and it seems they talked for more than an hour before leaving.

I noticed that the American representative had a smile on his face as he left, looking quite satisfied.

After thinking for a moment, Razer told him about something strange.

He didn't think too much about it at first.

It was only after Wang Mengde reminded him that he suddenly realized this.

"Really? I understand."

Wang Mengde understood perfectly; he guessed that the reason China had succeeded so smoothly this time lay in that meeting between the two sides.

If it involves matters in the medical field, I reckon my superiors and leaders of relevant departments will talk to me soon.

He was right.

at this time.

Several leaders from higher-level authorities and relevant departments are discussing the matter together.

"Distinguished leaders, this is what the American representative told me."

Regiment Commander Zhao recounted the entire incident in detail.

As for the other people present at the time, they sat at the end and nodded in agreement.

"Strange, why would the United States suddenly make such a request? Don't they know that we have been supporting South Vietnam both openly and secretly?"

The relevant department leader said strangely.

He was stunned after hearing what Commander Zhao said.

The American representative found the Chinese delegation at the World Health Assembly.

They not only stated directly that they knew a day earlier about the results that China was about to announce, but also took the opportunity to express their admiration for Comrade Wang Mengde.

Then, a request was made that China lift the export restrictions on artemisinin and artemisinin powder.

then.

Commander Zhao and the others wanted to refuse outright.

After all, this is national policy, and they have no right to make that decision.

Moreover, the United States and South Vietnam were still at war at this time.

As a secret ally, China would certainly not betray its friends.

However, the American representative expressed hope that the Chinese representative could bring back their goodwill and let the higher-ups make a decision.

Whether it succeeds or not, I hope we can have more exchanges in the medical industry in the future.

"It is indeed strange. Although South Vietnam is a staunch ally of our big brother in the north, it has become somewhat estranged from us because of what has happened in the last two years."

However, relations are still considered friendly, and the country's support for South Vietnam has never ceased.

Why would representatives from the United States approach us at this time and make such a request? There must be something we don't know about.

The top leader of the health and family planning department also frowned and said.

This is what's puzzling.

The representatives of the United States do not appear without reason, nor do they speak without purpose. "Otherwise, let's report to our superiors first; perhaps they will understand the situation here."

The relevant department leaders made the suggestion.

Logically, this matter should have been rejected outright, but there was a fear of delaying important national affairs.

After all, the other party seemed very confident, so there must be something wrong with it, they just didn't know it yet.

"I agree."

"I agree too."

"Let's submit a joint report together."

The other leaders also unanimously agreed.

After submitting the report, they planned to wait, since the leaders above were usually very busy and it would probably take two days for them to reply.

To the surprise of the leaders, news came that very day.

The higher-ups specifically called them over and explained the reason to them in person.

original.

After several years of war, with no hope of victory and South Vietnam having the support of China, the United States began to consider withdrawing its troops.

The Americans understand the people of South Vietnam very well.

They knew that as soon as they left, the other side would definitely turn around and attack China.

In addition, the polar bears were being aggressive, so they decided to band together for mutual support.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Even if they can't become friends, they can temporarily unite to fight for their own interests.

Therefore, they took advantage of the World Health Assembly to find the Chinese representative.

As for why they didn't go through the formal channels, they probably did so out of fear of being rejected and losing face.

Such private behavior is fine.

"The situation here is very complicated. After research, we are prepared to contact the United States first, and at the same time, we are prepared to strictly control the amount of artemisinin and artemisinin aid from now on."

"The leader above said in a deep voice."

In fact, China had long ago discovered that South Vietnam was a wolf that could not be tamed.

However, in order to deal with the United States, the aid can only be temporary.

But the situation has changed now, and the country's strategy must naturally change accordingly.

"By the way, I would also like to thank Comrade Wang Mengde here."

When artemisinin and artemisinin powder were first developed, South Vietnam wanted our support in building factories and transferring technology.

At that time, we consulted Comrade Wang Mengde, who strongly advised against transferring technology and supporting factory construction, and also suggested that the amount of medicine aid should be controlled within a certain level.

Unexpectedly, his concerns were correct; it saved our country a significant amount of money and technology, and also gave us more leverage.

"This time, the United States wants to have exchanges with China in the medical field. After you go back, you can consult Comrade Wang Mengde for his opinion."

After we come out...

The relevant department leader, speaking to the top leader of the health and family planning department, exclaimed:
"Congratulations! You have such a valuable talent down below you."

"If it weren't for Comrade Wang Mengde's exceptional medical skills, I would have loved to take him from you. With his intelligence and talent, he could certainly have achieved great things in the diplomatic field as well."

"Haha, let me tell you, you're too late."

Even if I were willing, the leaders above me wouldn't be.

I don't need to elaborate on the importance of Comrade Wang Mengde to our country; you already know it all.

His contributions, especially in the medical field, are pivotal and irreplaceable; no one can take that away from him.

The top leader of the health and family planning department laughed heartily.

He was in a very good mood.

These are his subordinates in the department he leads; if they achieve something, it will bring him prestige.

Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As expected, Wang Mengde received a call from his superior.

Then he and Lei Ze rode in the company car to the higher-level department.

As for why Lei Ze went along, it was because he was attending an awards ceremony.

Now, thanks to extensive publicity in newspapers and on the radio, he has become a new role model.

Many young people and students are also preparing to learn from him.

It is estimated that many people will also apply for related majors in life sciences.

In the drawing room.

The superiors and relevant department leaders were all present.

As soon as I sat down, the senior leader of the higher-level department couldn't wait to speak, introducing the United States' request and their desire to exchange ideas in the medical industry.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, this is how things went. Now the country is also interested in contacting the other party."

Do you think we should offer artemisia annua powder or give artemisia annua powder to the other party? Also, what suggestions do you have regarding communication?

Don't be fooled by the fact that he has only been in charge of the health and family planning department for a few months.

But I had already experienced Wang Mengde's prowess firsthand.

I know he has many ingenious ideas, and every suggestion he makes is very pertinent.

It was later proven to be the optimal choice.

After a moment's hesitation, Wang Mengde slowly began to speak:
"Distinguished leaders, I think the assessment above is correct. We must be wary of South Vietnam. After all, without a common enemy, our interests will be involved."

When two countries share a border, various conflicts will naturally arise over time, making prevention essential.

"Therefore, I suggest that we first provide a small batch of artemisinin or artemisia powder to the United States. As for the quantity, I suggest that we divide it into multiple batches, each batch enough for the treatment of several thousand people."

This way, the United States wouldn't be allowed to use these drugs in military operations, while still ensuring that malaria-infected personnel in their troops could receive treatment.

In his previous life, he was well aware of the Southern Yue's counterattack.

That's why this suggestion was given.

More than ten years ago, when he successfully developed Artemisia annua powder and artemisinin, he had already taken precautions.

At that time, South Vietnam and China were as close as brothers, and South Vietnam wanted China to support them in building factories, or even transfer technology.

After learning about this, I strongly advised against it.

Fortunately, the leader listened to his opinion and decisively refused.

Looking back now, it was incredibly wise.

Otherwise, we'll have one less trump card to use in future countermeasures.

"Yes, that's an excellent suggestion. We will conduct a comprehensive feasibility assessment."

The leaders of the higher-level departments praised it.

The higher-ups actually had the same idea, but they didn't say it outright. Now that they've reached the same conclusion, he has no choice but to take it seriously.

Then, he asked about another matter:
"What are your thoughts on the United States wanting to engage in exchanges with China in the medical field?"

"Leader, I think it's a good thing to be able to have industry exchanges."

This will not only promote the development of the domestic medical industry and broaden the horizons of technical personnel, preventing them from working in isolation, but also allow them to learn from the advanced technologies of other countries.

However, it should also be noted that our country has recently made significant progress in the field of antibiotics.

In this respect, it can be said that we have achieved a leapfrog development; however, in terms of technological secrecy, we must prevent leaks.

Wang Mengde replied again.

Thanks to him, and through exchanges with Western medicine experts last year and this year, many institutions have developed new drugs.

Many of these medicines have already been exported abroad.

There are still a large number of projects to be launched, and he has been involved in guiding these projects. In the near future, they will definitely see an explosive growth.

Simultaneously.

Because of Wang Mengde, many of the medical concepts in China's Western medicine community have far surpassed those of Western countries.

These are all technological assets, and they cannot be leaked.
