Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 292: One hour after forming the team, the work was finished early? (3K)

Fangyan counted the members of the group silently in his mind.

Including myself, there were ten people at the scene.

In addition to the main members of these teams, there was actually one person who was not present.

That is the typist that Mr. Cheng mentioned to be assigned to the team.

After Fangyan asked, Mr. Cheng told him that two typist comrades were already waiting for them in their future office.

However, before leaving, Mr. Cheng gave a speech.

It basically explains the importance of writing a book and emphasizes the positioning of this book.

He hopes that everyone will fully cooperate with him and Fangyan and work hard to write this book well, so that it can become a reference book that every Chinese medicine practitioner in the country will have a copy in the next few decades.

The goal set by Mr. Cheng was quite inspiring. These words immediately made some of the young people in the team excited, and they shouted loudly to express their determination.

There is no way around it. This goal sounds so awesome. Having such a statement on your resume will be like having a golden signboard, so dazzling that no one can ignore it.

Only three middle-aged men, Wang Yuchuan, Shi Zhensheng and Yin Fangshan, remained calm.

After all, it was not the first time that the three of them had written a book. Professor Wang Yuchuan had even compiled several editions of national textbooks on traditional Chinese medicine. This was not the first time they had seen such a scene.

Apart from that, among the young people in the team, only Fangyan was calm.

Everyone else, including Meng Jimin, looked very excited.

Then he winked at himself, and Fangyan understood what he meant. He was saying: The boss has given the order, so you should pretend too!

Fangyan was speechless. It turned out that Meng Jimin was providing emotional value to the leader. His vision was too low. It seemed that he still needed to practice more.

After Mr. Cheng finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Fangyan.

Then he smiled and said:
"Fang Yan, you are the leader of this team, please say a few words to everyone."

Then he spoke to the others:
"Everyone applaud!"

"Pa pa pa..." Everyone applauded and looked at Fang Yan.

Most people don’t understand dialects, so when they heard Mr. Cheng’s words, everyone wanted to see what level of speaking this team leader was at.

Fangyan has no experience in this kind of situation.

But I also know that I am the team leader and I have to speak as the team leader. If I get stage fright during this speech, it will be difficult for me to lead the team in the future.

Everything has a first time, so just go for it despite the odds.

So after Mr. Cheng finished speaking, Fang Yan nodded calmly, then stood in front of the crowd, quickly prepared an opening speech in his mind, cleared his throat and said:

"Dear comrades, hello!"

“Today, we are gathered together for a common goal. This is an extremely glorious and challenging task. I am fully aware of the heavy responsibility and the heavy burden on everyone’s shoulders!”

"Chinese medicine processing is a shining pearl in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine. It carries thousands of years of wisdom and practice, and is the essence of countless attempts and summaries by our ancestors. Our work is to systematically organize and pass on this precious knowledge. We are like ferrymen in the long river of history, shouldering the important task of bringing Chinese medicine processing from the past to the present and then to the future..."

While Fangyan was speaking politely, he was trying hard to recall the speeches made by leaders that he had heard in his previous life.

I quickly sorted out the logic of the speech in my mind.

First, I gave a very high evaluation of this mission.

Then the importance of the work that each person present needed to do was explained.

Then I hope that this team will work together and complete this task to the best of their ability through everyone's joint efforts.

You can be worthy of your own efforts and also worthy of the sweat of others.

At the end, dialect will add value to everyone.

He also took out the general discussion that he had already written.

He kept his tone calm and his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

He looked at every member present with a sincere face.

Make eye contact with each person as you talk about their tasks.

Soon, even those who saw Fangyan for the first time began to feel a sense of conviction towards this young team leader.

At least Fangyan looks like someone who has experienced great things and was not promoted casually by Mr. Cheng.

He also speaks with clear logic and takes care of everyone in the team, neither favoring anyone in particular nor ignoring anyone.

The first characteristic he showed was that he was very fair.

The second characteristic is that he is clear about the staffing of the entire team and everyone’s responsibilities.

He is already qualified as a team leader, and more importantly, he also holds several positions. He is the team leader, the main writer, a clinical expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and a consultant on ancient book materials.

At the same time, he actually started working and creating the general theory before forming the team.

"...Thank you everyone, that's all I have to say." Fang Yan said and nodded to everyone.

Then there was warm applause from the audience.

The younger ones already call him “Team Leader Fang” in dialect.

Finally, Professor Yuchuan took the lead and called out "Team Leader Fang", followed by Yin Fangshan and Shi Zhensheng. Fangyan accepted everyone and responded to them with a smile.

At this time, Mr. Cheng clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, now everyone knows each other."

"Let's go to our workplace now!"

……

Then everyone followed Mr. Cheng to another slightly shorter but much newer building of the institute. This is the office building where the famous People's Medical Publishing House, Huaxia Traditional Chinese Medicine Book Publishing House, and Capital Traditional Chinese Medicine Magazine Publishing House are located.

Mr. Cheng led everyone directly to a room on the second floor with the words "Equipment Room" written on it.

"This will be your office in the future," he introduced to everyone.

After saying that, he took the lead, opened the door and walked straight in.

"Director Cheng."

As soon as the door opened, the two middle-aged women in the room stood up and greeted Mr. Cheng.

Looking at the Shuangge brand Shu typewriter in front of the two people, one can tell without guessing that this must be the typist arranged by Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng smiled and said to everyone:
"Come, let me introduce you to these two typists who will be working with you next."

Then he said to the two of them:

"Please both introduce yourselves."

The two looked at each other, and the taller middle-aged woman with short hair spoke first:
"Hello everyone, my name is Deng Min."

Another middle-aged woman with pigtails and thick glasses who looked a little nervous said:
"Hello everyone, my name is Lei Yulan."

Mr. Cheng said to everyone:

"These two are my precious typists transferred from the publishing house. I spent a lot of effort to beg them to come."

Deng Min, who was obviously more cheerful and younger, smiled and said:

"Director Cheng, you are joking. If you ask us, we will definitely cooperate."

Mr. Cheng then said to the two of them:

"Come, let me introduce them to you... This one is Fang Yan, the team leader. He is the most important leader here besides me, and he is also the person you mainly cooperate with."

"By the way, he's very good at using a typewriter, and he's already typed out quite a bit of content."

Hearing what Mr. Cheng said, Deng Min took the lead and walked out and greeted Fang Yan:
"Hello, Team Leader Fang! You are young and promising!"

Lei Yulan followed closely and nodded to Fang Yan:
"Hello!"

Fangyan responded:
"Hello you two!"

Then Mr. Cheng continued:
"The next one is ..."

Then Old Cheng introduced the people again. During the process, Fangyan noticed that all the equipment in the cabinets in the equipment room had been moved out, leaving only empty cabinets. It was obvious that this place had been vacated not long before they came.

It seems that Lao Cheng must have spent a lot of effort to get it.

In addition to the equipment being moved away, the desks in this place should also be newly purchased, and even Fangyan can still smell the paint.

There are no signs of use on it.

Then Fangyan noticed the two typists. It was obvious that Deng Min was more confident. She was taller and slender, and was wearing a dress. Her hands looked bony, very much like a man's hands. According to physiognomy, this kind of woman has strong business skills.

Lei Yulan seems to be rather shy and doesn't dare to look people in the eye. She is plump and it is hard to tell what her professional ability is. She looks rather ordinary, but she should be the type who is very easy to talk to. If arranging work for her, Fangyan should give her priority.

Both of them are in their early thirties and should be married with children. Such typists have more work experience than young people and are more responsible at work.

Fangyan had already evaluated it in his mind and was thinking about what kind of work would be best assigned to whom in the future.

Mr. Cheng finally finished his introduction and then handed the work over to Fangyan.

Fangyan took out the outline of his own book.

This outline was made according to the "Chinese Materia Medica Processing" he used in his previous life.

The book was originally intended to be a textbook for the "14th Five-Year Plan" for higher education in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, so the outline was very rigorous, and Fangyan wrote out the table of contents for the general discussion and each section.

In the general discussion which is Fangyan’s own part, he wrote down all the regulations, purposes, relationships, influences, basic theories, classifications, principles, quality control, storage and preservation.

Then others will be responsible for the individual papers with the largest workload.

It starts with the practical operation of material selection and cutting, explaining the purpose of cleaning and processing, softening treatment before cutting, and the method of cutting medicinal pieces...

Then there is a catalog of various detailed preparation methods. For example, the stir-fry method is further divided into: stir-frying with pure ingredients and stir-frying with auxiliary ingredients.

For example, the roasting methods are divided into: wine roasting, vinegar roasting, salt roasting, ginger roasting, honey roasting, and oil roasting.
The calcination methods are divided into: open calcination, calcination and quenching method, and pot calcination method.

There are also many other methods: steaming, boiling, cloning, germination, frosting, baking...

After these methods, we will begin to introduce the processing equipment and processing technology schools.

Finally, we start the actual practice, which is also the most practical. According to the names of the traditional Chinese medicines, we start writing down their preparation methods and efficacy, as well as ancient and modern medical records, ancient book sources, and their pictures.

Fangyan also reminded that some of the contents here can be directly used from the book "Collection of Experience in Chinese Medicine Processing", which can reduce a lot of workload.

……

Fangyan gradually sorted out the catalog and displayed it to everyone.

Wang Yuchuan and his four apprentices, who were the ones giving the advice, were all stunned. Not only were they stunned, but everyone else was stunned as well.

No one expected that Fangyan had divided the catalog so scientifically and meticulously.

This is exactly how a reference book should be written.

After Fang Yan finished speaking, he said to Wang Yuchuan:
"…I have finished introducing my initial plan. Professor Yuchuan, you are an expert in this area, please give me some advice!"

Wang Yuchuan opened his mouth, but really didn't know what to say.

This catalog is so scientific.

Less than an hour after forming a team, it seems like my work is done?
