Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 476 Each Gets What They Need and Both Make Progress

The American representatives, led by Gordon, finally returned home.

They all felt that the trip was very rewarding and well worth it.

Previously, when they heard that they were going to come to China for exchanges, they were not very happy about it.

After all, each of them is a world-renowned expert.

They each possess genuine skills and enjoy great fame.

On the Chinese side, apart from Wang Mengde, they had basically never heard of the others.

In the last month or so, someone announced a finding at the WHO assembly and gained some fame.

But they were all in the know and understood that it was because of Wang Mengde's influence; otherwise, who would know who he was?

and so.

When Gordon was selecting the exchange representatives, almost everyone made excuses and refused to participate.

The situation changed dramatically when the relevant U.S. authorities announced that Wang Mengde, one of China's most renowned medical scientists, would be invited to participate in the exchange.

Those experts who were initially reluctant and made various excuses not to come to China are now scrambling to come.

Because of the limited number of spots, the conflict even escalated to the point of mutual attacks.

finally.

It was after careful consideration that these twenty-odd medical experts were chosen.

When these people arrived in China in high spirits, the first few days were spent either meeting with others or visiting factories.

If they weren't in a foreign country, they would have been cursing.

Fortunately, Wang Mengde did indeed appear at the exchange meeting just two days later.

To everyone's surprise, at the exchange meeting, they could not only ask questions, but also receive suggestions on many problems that they had been thinking about or researching for a long time.

These suggestions often provide sudden enlightenment and give people direction.

They firmly believed that once they returned, they could achieve results with just a little time.

Simultaneously.

Wang Mengde even took the initiative to give a lecture to the participants of the exchange meeting.

Although the content of these courses does not involve key or critical technical knowledge, but only some conceptual things.

But everyone also felt they gained a lot.

Looking at the more than twenty medical experts on the plane, who, despite their fatigue, were still having a heated discussion about the new insights they had gained in the past few days.

Gordon was also extremely happy.

He gained even more from this trip.

Not only did they successfully complete the exchange mission assigned by the state, but they also won the friendship and special regard of these medical experts.

I also managed to complete two other tasks.

First, there's the matter of the 'Rejuvenation Pill'.

After discussions with relevant Chinese departments, he used his persuasive skills to explain the pros and cons during the meeting.

Then, China temporarily agreed.

While maintaining the same export volume as before, one thousand 'Rejuvenation Pills' will be exported to the United States each month.

The price their country paid was not in US dollars.

China strongly demanded that the exchange be made in the form of equivalent goods, or less advanced technology, or industrial equipment, or precision medical instruments.

Unlike in previous years, the United States' policy toward China is also changing.

The previous complete sealing has been changed to allowing for some relaxation.

Of course, there needs to be a certain degree of control over the degree of this.

High-end technologies and equipment, for example, certainly cannot be exchanged.

However, relatively outdated technologies and equipment are selectively exchanged.

After receiving instructions from home, Gordon, representing the United States, signed a contract with China.

After signing the contract, he was so excited he couldn't contain himself.

Gordon understood.

When he returns to China, he will definitely receive praise from various influential figures.

After all, this is an extra thousand 'Rejuvenation Pills' every month.

If one person needs thirty pills per month, this is enough for more than thirty people.

This means that more than thirty powerful elderly people will live two to three years longer.

And these powerful families will owe him a debt of gratitude.

This will be a huge boost to his future career, and his life will take a leap forward, allowing him to completely break free from his current social class.

The second gain was a promise.

It is said that China is currently working on developing detection technology for the HIV virus.

And breakthrough progress has already been made.

Upon hearing this news, he was overjoyed and immediately began to plead with Wang Mengde, trying to persuade him to make an effort in the middle.

Once the testing technology is successful and a practical product is available, if we want to export it, it would be best to sell it to the United States first.

His superiors had no objection to his request.

After all, it doesn't matter who you sell it to; it's not a strategic resource.

Now that they've even sold artemisia powder and artemisinin to the other party, they naturally wouldn't care about having one more.

therefore.

Mr. Gordon was quite pleased with himself on his way back from his trip to China.

On the Chinese side, they were naturally very satisfied.

Wang Mengde did indeed share some valuable insights at the exchange meeting.

It seems that he explained a lot of medical principles and knowledge to American medical experts.

In fact, these points were already made on various occasions several years ago.

After several years of development, Chinese experts have long since digested it.

These medical principles and knowledge are considered somewhat outdated in China.

and.

With his initial insight, American medical experts were forced to share their own valuable insights.

Many medical ideas have also greatly benefited Chinese experts.

This whole situation can only be described as a win-win situation where everyone gets what they want and no one loses out.

Also.

Selling the 'Rejuvenation Pill' to the United States was an intention that had been in the works all along.

Thinking that the other party brought it up first, I took the opportunity to add some conditions.

For example, some technologies and equipment that were previously unwilling to be sold are now being exchanged with great reluctance.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

At this moment, a leader from the industrial sector said gratefully with a smile:
"I didn't expect the American representatives to be so agreeable this time. In the contract we just signed, they had to offer a lot of technology and equipment as bargaining chips."

These are all things I wanted to buy but couldn't get before, and they're exactly what China urgently needs.

He also participated in the negotiations.

At first, he lacked confidence, but under Wang Mengde's persuasion, he boldly raised the requirements.

I thought they would refuse outright.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the conditions he proposed, they did not refuse outright, but instead went to ask for instructions.

This means that the United States is willing to pay a huge price for the "Rejuvenation Pill".

The negotiations then went much more smoothly.

When China offered to increase the quantity of 'Rejuvenation Pills' to one thousand, Gordon accepted all the conditions without hesitation.

Although the technology and equipment involved were relatively outdated.

But in the past, the United States would have rejected it without hesitation.

It may seem backward to them, but it is something that most countries in the world can only dream of.

The majority of these were equipment that China could not produce or technology that it had not yet mastered.

Once these are in place, the level of national industry can be instantly improved, and a significant amount of manpower, material resources, time, and money can be saved. Therefore...

Only leaders in the industrial sector would be so pleasantly surprised.

The leaders of the relevant departments, as well as the leaders of the higher-level departments, were equally pleased.

China's diplomacy has achieved a new breakthrough.

In the next few years, new drugs or medical devices will become the goose that lays the golden eggs.

These are all benefits brought by Wang Mengde.

end of September.

The weather has become much cooler.

It's the weekend.

Ran Xiaomei had been thinking for a few days about inviting He Shengnan's family to come over for a get-together.

Since He Youyu passed away, and after his two younger brothers returned from military service, Wang Mengde's family has mostly lived in the Guang'anmen area.

The two families haven't had a proper get-together for a long time.

Just yesterday, Wang Mengde brought back several pounds of high-quality beef and mutton from his workplace, so they decided to have a hot pot together as a way to nourish themselves in the autumn.

morning.

No. 95, Nanluoguxiang.

Middle Court.

Ran Xiaomei and Zhou Xiaoyan, two mothers-in-law, were washing vegetables by the pool with several daughters-in-law.

In addition to beef and mutton, vegetables are also needed.

"Sister-in-law, I have a lot of green vegetables here. I'll share half of them with you to use for washing the pots."

Aunt Li was also washing vegetables nearby. She smiled and handed half of the washed vegetables to the bamboo basket next to Ran Xiaomei.

Seeing that she seemed about to refuse, he added:

“These weren’t bought by me; I brought them back from my relatives’ house in the countryside.”

"These vegetables will get too old tomorrow if we don't eat them, and it'll be such a waste to throw them away then."

usually.

In the courtyard, Ran Xiaomei was unwilling to take advantage of her neighbors in the slightest; she was inherently strong-willed.

In addition, Wang Mengde's status has risen higher and higher over the years.

He was afraid that his neighbor's connections would cause trouble for his eldest son, and he was even more unwilling to accept a reward without having done anything in return.

However, since Aunt Li had put it so bluntly, it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse, so she reluctantly accepted it.
"Thank you, Aunt Li."

From now on, these vegetables should be left for your children; they are all growing and developing.

With a lot of talk and effort, they quickly washed all the vegetables and meat.

after come back.

Seeing her grandson playing with toys in the living room with his mouth bulging, which must be full of candy, Ran Xiaomei had an idea.

It didn't take long.

Aunt Li's grandson, who was playing in the yard, had several imported candies in his pocket.

He clutched his pocket with one hand and ran excitedly home.

After arriving home, he proudly showed the imported candy to Aunt Li, as if it were a treasure.

After finding out the truth, Aunt Li sighed deeply.

She had a purpose in delivering a bunch of greens to Old Wang's family earlier.

The plan is to take it slow and steady, and over time, let the Wang family owe us a small favor, which we can save for our youngest son later.

Her youngest son is currently in junior high school and will graduate soon.

If you don't get into high school, you won't have a job, so you'll have no choice but to follow the trend and go to the countryside.

Aunt Li has relatives in the remote mountain villages surrounding Beijing, so she knows the hardships of rural life.

So he thought he could get in touch with Wang Mengde and help him out so he could escape his fate.

Unfortunately, the imported candy in her grandson's hands has shattered her illusions.

noon.

Because there were many people, two tables were set up inside.

The four strong men from Old Wang's family, along with the three strong men from Old He's family, sat down at one table.

The other women and children huddled together.

"Shengwen, how's work lately? Is everything going smoothly?"

He picked up a slice of mutton roll with his chopsticks, put it in the copper pot for two seconds, and then quickly took it out. While it was cooling, Wang Mengde asked his brother-in-law.

After He Shengwen was assigned to the supply and marketing cooperative in Gulou, he frequently inquired about his work situation in the past few years.

Later, I learned that the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative took good care of him, and he was also quite ambitious, with his professional skills ranking among the best.

So I felt relieved.

I thought of asking about it today, just to find a topic for casual conversation.

"Brother-in-law, I am now the deputy director of the Gulou Supply and Marketing Cooperative."

My superiors recently spoke with me and said that next year, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will become the director of a supply and marketing cooperative.

He also asked for my opinion: whether I wanted to continue working at the supply and marketing cooperative in Gulou or go to a larger one in Deshengmen to become the director.

I'm still undecided and hesitating. Brother-in-law, do you have any suggestions?

He Shengwen put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, and then spoke.

With Wang Mengde's connections and his own hard work, he was about to become a director around the age of thirty.

Although a particular supply and marketing cooperative may not have many employees, some may have only a dozen or so, while others may have only twenty or thirty.

But this is not something that many ordinary people can achieve.

In those days, working at a supply and marketing cooperative was one of the best jobs available, let alone being a leader in one.

"Haha, I can't give you any advice on this. Go back and discuss it with your wife."

Wang Mengde smiled and waved his hand.

In his eyes, it didn't matter which supply and marketing cooperative he worked at, and it wouldn't affect He Shengwen's future progress.

then.

He inquired about the job situation of his other brother-in-law.

"Shengwu, how's work at your unit over there?"

He Shengwu previously worked under Dai Botao, initially as a driver, and later joined the department.

"Brother-in-law, I think I'll be promoted to deputy section chief by the end of this year."

He Shengwu replied with a beaming smile.

Although Dai Botao was transferred to another unit a few years ago, no one in the unit, whether it was his superiors or his colleagues, dared to underestimate him.

Many people know that Wang Mengde is his brother-in-law, and therefore associate with him even more.

The leaders also care a lot about him, and he has never stopped striving for progress in the past few years.

"Not bad. Being a deputy section chief before the age of thirty is quite an achievement for someone so young. Let's try to become a full section chief in another two years."

Wang Mengde nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that his two brothers-in-law are doing well at work, so he can rest assured.

That makes sense. With his connection, anyone who isn't stupid can make it big no matter what.

He Guangyao and Wang Hao sat together at the head of the table.

He is very satisfied with the current situation of his two sons.

Life at home is now thriving.

His son and daughter-in-law both have good jobs, and he has several grandchildren around him.

He knew that the He family's success today was largely due to his son-in-law.

After raising his glass and drinking a shot of Sunflower Brand Erguotou, he asked with a smile:

“Yuanchao, when are you going to make a decision? If you ask me, you should make a decision as soon as possible and get the wedding done by the end of this year.”
