A doctor who travels through two eras

Factory Director Yuan burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Commissioner Lin, your idea is good. Foreigners can only buy our medicines through smuggling, just like back then when they wanted to buy penicillin, they could only go to big cities like Shanghai and find smugglers."

In the future, foreigners will only be able to buy our medicine from smugglers in big cities like Hong Kong, Los Angeles, or Paris. It feels pretty cool, haha.

However, there's a problem here. We can't underestimate the shamelessness and technological prowess of developed Western countries. If there's profit to be made, they will definitely try to copy our antibiotics. What will we do then?

Lin Sanqi chuckled and said:
"I have considered the concerns you mentioned. I am confident that we will not have to worry about foreigners copying our products for at least the next five years. Why?"

Firstly, I have already applied for a patent, and it is a global patent. Currently, Xiangjiang Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company has three shareholders: a Hong Konger, an American, and an Eagle.

If the shareholder is Chinese, then the foreign pharmaceutical company may not recognize the patent holder, and may even deliberately try to antagonize you by producing and selling the product. If you have the guts, go to foreign courts and you will lose every time.

However, since the patent holders are three European and American pharmaceutical companies, they are their own people. Foreign pharmaceutical companies must abide by the rules of the game, respect our patents, and dare not imitate them. In the end, they will definitely lose the lawsuit.

The only thing they can do is circumvent our patent and invent another cephalosporin, but that's easier said than done.

Because I also applied for a patent for the drug manufacturing process, they won't be able to bypass it for 5 or even 10 years.

Another thing, as you've seen, is the raw material pharmaceutical plant I brought in from the base. The refining machines there are unique in the world.

It has surpassed all developed Western countries; they simply cannot manufacture it.

For example, we can now produce oral antibiotics, while European and American pharmaceutical companies can only produce injectables.

It's because their drug extraction and production processes are substandard that they simply can't produce it, and that's our advantage.

Even if European and American pharmaceutical companies find another cephalosporin that bypasses my production process patent, they lack a complete set of raw material refining machines, so they cannot mass-produce it industrially, which is fatal.

Even if you invent a completely new cephalosporin by then, you can still launch it on the market, but the cost will be enormous, frighteningly high. What price are you planning to sell it for? If the price is too low, you'll lose money; if it's too high, the product won't be competitive.

Factory Director Yuan was knowledgeable in the field, and he was immediately excited upon hearing this:

"Commissioner Lin, does that mean we can monopolize these antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for at least five years?"

Lin Sanqi also laughed:

"Yes, at least 5 years, maybe 10 years. In 10 years, the first generation of cephalosporins should start to be promoted, but we are not afraid. Because what I have presented is the second generation of cephalosporins, which is ahead of them."

Even if they develop second-generation cephalosporins, I still have third-generation, fourth-generation, fifth-generation, and so on. In short, I'm always one step ahead.

"By the time antibiotics become widely available and incredibly cheap, we'll have already accumulated our initial capital, so it won't matter anymore."

Shen Guoming pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Judging from your tone, you seem to be thinking the same way as those pirate colonies back then: plunder first, then get rich, then develop yourself, and finally point fingers at others."

Lin Sanqi feigned surprise and said:

"Oh my godfather, you're quite good at political science."

Hehehe~~~
The three of them chuckled, and Lin Sanqi continued:
"I'm going to Hong Kong for a while, so I'll leave Bao'an County to you. It takes time for the antibiotics to go from trial production to full production. I'd like you to accumulate some experience and technology first, and then we'll start supplying them to China when I get back."

Shen Guoming said easily, "Okay, I'll take care of everything, don't worry."

That evening, Lin Sanqi drove his big plane to Hong Kong.

The next morning, Lin Sanqi was woken up by her daughter, Xiao Susu.

The little guy will be one year old next month. He's at the age where he's crawling and playing, so while Lin Sanqi was still asleep, the little guy had already crawled onto his face and then sat down on it.

In his sleep, Lin Sanqi felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and he almost suffocated.

If it were a son, the fight would have already started by now.

But daughters get different treatment. Lin Sanqi scooped her up in her arms and started tickling her relentlessly.

"You little rascal, you almost crushed Daddy to death, hmph hmph hmph."

Little Su Su giggled from the tickling sensation, repeatedly calling out, "Daddy, Daddy..."

I can't find the words to express it anymore.

As the father and daughter were arguing, Lin Sanqi suddenly frowned. The noise outside was very loud, as if many people were shouting and cursing. Lin Sanqi lived on the third floor, so he looked downstairs with his daughter in his arms and was startled.

The narrow temple street was already packed with people, a scene as bustling as the Guangzhou Railway Station in the 1990s.

Pan Ye just then opened the door and walked in, smiling faintly at her husband by the window:
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? Did Xiao Su Su wake you up?"

Lin Sanqi kissed his daughter in his arms, feeling extremely satisfied. She was chubby, very cute, and loved to smile.

Moreover, this little guy looks remarkably similar to his grandmother, Jin Caifeng, almost like they were carved from the same mold.

So even though they already have five grandchildren, the old couple's favorite is their second granddaughter, and they wish they could hold her 24/7.

"Hey honey, what's going on downstairs? Is our clinic having a promotion, giving away eggs with every visit? Why are there so many people?"

Pan Ye took his daughter, changed her diaper (which Lin Sanqi brought from another time and space), and replied:
"You've been living on the mainland and have no idea how business is here in Hong Kong. Right now, our Lingnan Hall clinic and pharmacy are doing very well. Half of the people in the queue are there to see a doctor, and the other half are there to buy medicine."

Especially our four secret formula medicines, because Father's policy was to limit supply, with each person only allowed a few pills, so scalpers, as well as employees and servants of wealthy families, lined up every day to buy them.

Lin Sanqi, having finished dressing, stood up and said:

"I'll go downstairs first to talk to my dad about something, and then we'll cross the harbor to Hong Kong Island to have some fun and go shopping."

Pan Ye has been in Hong Kong for over a year. He doesn't usually go out alone; at most, he'll go shopping in Kowloon, and only if someone accompanies him.

Moreover, even though the Lin family had become wealthy, she still dressed very simply and wore no jewelry.

Such a worry-free and money-saving wife, with a good temper who doesn't cause trouble, make a fuss, or complain, is practically the image of a perfect wife. Chen Xiang is really confused.

After Lin Sanqi came downstairs, the veterans at the stairwell greeted him one after another:
"Boss, you're here!"

"Good morning, boss."

This is a 10-person team, with Liu Genchun as the team leader. Their mission is to guard the stairwell and protect the Lin family's residence and family members, preventing anyone from breaking upstairs.

The Lin family and four members of the Pan family live upstairs now. If something happens, they'll all be wiped out.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they're holding long steel pipes now.

Actually, this steel pipe can be split in two, with a long knife inside. Small-time thugs can use the steel pipe, while medium-sized thugs can use the knife.

If you encounter a tough opponent, simply reverse the two steel pipes, connect them together, and tighten them to form a weapon similar to a '陌刀' (modao), which is very effective at cutting people.

In case of a serious situation, the cabinet in the security booth next door is full of the latest weapons that Lin Sanqi bought from Israel in another time and space. There are all kinds of guns, and even several RPGs are stored there.

In addition, there are at least 100 people stationed along the entire Temple Street, including the section in front of the Lingnan Hall Medical Clinic, so almost no one can cause trouble on Temple Street.

Lin Sanqi walked over and patted each of the security guards on the shoulder, smiling as he asked:

Have any gangs come to collect protection money recently?

Upon hearing this, all the security guards burst into laughter. Liu Genchun said smugly:

"Boss, we're already being kind by not demanding protection money from them. Who would dare come to Temple Street to extort money? Those gangsters are avoiding Temple Street now."

Lin Sanqi was relieved upon hearing this.

There are too many triad members in Hong Kong, and they are very particular about so-called brotherhood. If you beat up a small fry, a bunch of big fry will come; if you beat up a big fry, a bunch of old thugs will come.

I'm afraid they'll be like flies, endless and impossible to shoo away, and you can't massacre them, which is very annoying.

"That's good. Safety must come first, no matter what. I don't want to lose a brother."

Liu Genchun said confidently:
"Don't worry, boss. Our leader, Wang Jin, personally talked to several triads in Kowloon. We only take care of the 500-meter area around Temple Street. We won't interfere with other areas or infringe on their interests."

Lin Sanqi nodded, thinking to himself that it wasn't so easy to talk to gang members; there must have been a lot of hard work before they reached an agreement.

Lin Sanqi ignored these trivial matters and headed towards the clinic.

He had many things to discuss with his father. (End of Chapter)
