After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 134 I'm convinced! A son should be like Zhang Yang (Subscribe)

7 p.m.

After a busy day, Songsong's father washed the dishes, cleaned the table, and slowly sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Exhaling a slightly tired breath, he turned his head to look at his son's bedroom door, confirmed that it was closed, then pressed the remote control to turn on the TV.

The TV screen lit up, and he subconsciously turned the volume down to the lowest setting, then turned it up one or two notches until it was just loud enough for him to hear the sound.

Songsong's mother is now doing parent-child reading with her son in the bedroom, and he can't let the TV make the volume too loud.

After a short rest, he stood up, took out two apples and a fruit knife from the refrigerator, then sat back on the sofa and started peeling apples.

After finishing the parent-child reading session, you need to eat some apples to supplement vitamins.

Thinking of his son, Songsong's father couldn't help but sigh, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Epilepsy is actually the discharge of neurons in the brain, which causes the body to become uncontrollable, convulse, and go crazy.

The principle of "refractory epilepsy" is the same, but as long as the condition is well controlled by long-term medication, children with the disease can still read and write and go to school normally like normal people.

The premise is... you can't stop taking the medicine, you absolutely can't stop taking it.

Once the disease recurs, it can easily cause permanent damage to the brain tissue and lead to mental retardation!

This is what worries him the most!
But now,
Some time ago, I got two boxes of Clobazam from my fellow patients in the patient group, but now the medicine is almost finished, at most...

I will have to stop taking the medicine in at most one month.

Thinking of this, Songsong's father became extremely anxious. His hands shook and the half-peeled apple peel suddenly broke.

"A few days ago, the relevant departments said that they were holding a meeting to find a solution to the problem of 'difficulty in taking medicine', but who knows how long we have to wait?"

"What if, what if we have to wait for two or three months?"

Songsong's father lowered his head and started peeling the apple again.

"But now, apart from waiting and placing our hopes on the relevant departments, what else can we do?"

"Hey……"

The sigh echoed in the living room, and at this moment, a familiar word suddenly came from the TV.

“Dear audience, rare diseases have always been a difficult problem plaguing the global medical field.”

"The incidence of these diseases is extremely low, the pathogenesis is unknown, the treatment drugs are expensive or there is no treatment, and they are like a heavy haze hanging over every unfortunate family."

"Intractable epilepsy is one of those rare diseases."

Songsong's father suddenly stopped peeling an apple, looked up and stared at the TV in a daze.

The TV screen was broadcasting the News Broadcast. A familiar female announcer in a blue dress was reading the news release in a clear and loud voice.

Suddenly, his heart couldn't help but beat violently.

"According to statistics, there are currently 12982 'intractable epilepsy children' in my country who need to take a psychotropic drug called 'clobazam' for a long time."

"Previously, this drug was not produced and sold in China, and patients mainly relied on purchasing it overseas. Not only was it expensive, but the source, quality, and supply of the drug were also difficult to effectively guarantee."

"Some time ago, many family members of patients with 'refractory epilepsy' complained about the difficulty in buying 'clobazam' on the Internet, which quickly attracted the attention of countless netizens at home and abroad."

"After the relevant departments learned of the situation, they immediately took action and interviewed several pharmaceutical companies to prepare for solving the problem of the difficulty of obtaining 'clobazam' in China."

"Among them, Qingshan Pharmaceutical, founded by Zhang Yang, a role model of the times, took the lead, took the lead, took the initiative to assume the social responsibility of a pharmaceutical company, and immediately applied for the relevant qualifications and licenses required for the production of Clobazam, regardless of personal gains and losses."

"At the same time, we have reached a production technology licensing agreement with Novartis, a well-known overseas pharmaceutical company, for the original drug 'Clobaczam.'"

"After two and a half months of continuous research and development and improvement, we have finally successfully produced the original 'clobazam tablets' with a 100% efficacy."

"Qingshan Pharmaceutical has not only rewritten my country's zero breakthrough in the production of drugs for 'refractory epilepsy', but it will also be an important milestone in China's rare disease drugs."

"Thank you Qingshan Pharmaceutical for its significant contribution to the treatment of 'refractory epilepsy'. Next, please watch the live interview brought by our reporters on the front line."

Songsong's father slowly stood up from the sofa and stared at the TV blankly.

"A role model of the times, Comrade Zhang Yang..."

"Qing...Qingshan Pharmaceutical?!"

After a moment, the TV picture in front of him became blurry. He excitedly rushed to his son's bedroom door and pushed it open.

"Mother Songsong, come and read the news! Come and read the news!"

Songsong's mother was shocked:
"Keep your voice down, don't scare the child!"

"Yes, yes, come and read the news!"

Although Songsong's mother felt a little strange, she hurried out of the bedroom.

At this time, the TV screen was playing a front-line interview with Qingshan Pharmaceutical. Songsong's father didn't need to say much. Songsong's mother saw at a glance that the blue subtitles at the bottom of the TV screen read:

[The first in the country! Qingshan Pharmaceutical has completed the localization process of the rare drug 'clobazam' and will soon be on the market! ]

Songsong’s mother opened her mouth in disbelief!

She looked at Songsong's father:
“Songsong’s father, Qingshan Pharmaceutical?!”

"Chinese-made Clobazam?!"

"Ok!"

Songsong's father nodded heavily.

About two seconds later, he suddenly looked at Songsong's mother affectionately, tears streaming down his face, crying with joy:

"Mother Songsong, our son...

Our son is saved, finally saved!"

"Ok!"

"It's saved!"

Songsong's mother hugged Songsong's father tightly, her face already in tears.

……

The news broadcast has a huge influence.

Qingshan Pharmaceutical has completed the localization process of "clobazam" and the news that it will be put on the market for sale has just been broadcast for five minutes.
The topic on the Internet about #Qingshan Pharmaceutical's domestically produced clobazam will soon be on the market# immediately became a hot search.

However, this time is different from any previous hot searches on Qingshan Pharmaceutical.

When the news appeared on the Internet, netizens did not celebrate, but suddenly fell silent.

All debates about "which pharmaceutical company should bear social responsibility" and "whether relevant departments should purchase Indian generic drugs" cooled down instantly.

Yes, all arguments came to an abrupt end.

At this time, everyone realized that while everyone was still discussing on the Internet whether the "Iron Horse and Ice River" was unfair and "which state-owned pharmaceutical company should bear social responsibility", Tsingshan Pharmaceutical had been acting silently behind the scenes and once again walked ahead of everyone.

He did not argue, did not speak out, and never even announced to the outside world that he was doing this!
But he just acted silently.

"I suddenly don't know what to say. Okay, I'm sorry Qingshan Pharmaceutical. I shouldn't have slandered you online and kept silent. I shouldn't have slandered you online and spread rumors that you would lose money if you didn't do the business! What you do is 10,000 times better than what I do! I don't deserve it."

"Hey, what is a model of the times? Why did Mr. Zhang from Qingshan Pharmaceutical win the title of Model of the Times? Zhang Yang once again gave everyone a perfect answer. I just want to say that the country's vision is not wrong. He is truly a model of the times."

"I have to admire him. When we were still discussing 'generic clobazam', Mr. Zhang Yang had already bought the production materials of the original 'clobazam' from Novartis. I have to say, this is courage and Mr. Zhang's vision!"

"Let me summarize it. To have a son, you should be like Zhang Yang!"...

In a high-walled courtyard in the capital.

An old man who was just over 60 years old sat at his desk, concentrating on the documents in his hands.

Although he is over sixty years old, his age cannot conceal the sharpness in his eyes.

for a long time,

The old man slowly put down the documents in his hand, and a rare satisfied smile appeared on his serious face.

"The more I watch Zhang Yang, the more I like him. There aren't many young people like him who have a sense of justice and responsibility!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the confidential secretary beside him came over with a smile and refilled the old man's tea.

"Yes, you are right, leader."

"I have also read Zhang Yang's profile. Everything he has done over the years may not be earth-shattering, but I can always feel that he has a sense of righteousness and responsibility!"

"And what's really valuable is... Leader, I just got the news. Isn't CCTV going to interview them this time? According to the plan, they were going to interview Zhang Yang himself, but he didn't accept the interview and gave it to the second-in-command of Qingshan Pharmaceutical."

"Oh?"

The old man raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of surprise.

But surprise soon turned into admiration:
"I like it even more when you say that."

"Be low-key and know when to advance and when to retreat! Unlike some people who want to be famous after doing something, they don't realize that being low-key can lead to a better life."

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a few big gulps.

He put it down immediately, and after the confidential secretary refilled the teacup, he suddenly changed the subject and said with emotion:
"We really have to thank Zhang Yang this time. He helped us resolve a crisis in public opinion, and at the same time, he also effectively solved the difficulties encountered by the masses!"

"Oh, I heard that Wei Min from the State Food and Drug Administration kept thanking him, right?"

The confidential secretary nodded:
"The Food and Drug Administration was really troubled by this matter. I heard that they had talks with several pharmaceutical companies, but everyone was not very enthusiastic."

"You also know that the Food and Drug Administration has no real power..."

The old man nodded, his face darkened slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said:

"Secretary Zhang, after this incident, I have a new idea."

"In the past few months, we have been discussing the need to develop the domestic biopharmaceutical industry. If not to the world's top level, it should at least reach first-class level."

"But at present, the development of our domestic pharmaceutical industry is too slow. I think the reason is that there is insufficient competition. Many pharmaceutical companies do not feel the crisis at all."

"So... I think we can take this opportunity to turn Qingshan Pharmaceutical into a 'catfish'."

"catfish?"

"Ah."

The old man nodded slightly and smiled when talking about Qingshan Pharmaceutical.

"The accurate expression would be 'catfish effect'."

"We have used this 'catfish effect' in the mobile phone market before."

"Around 2012, our domestic mobile phones were still mainly copycats, and foreign phones such as Apple and Samsung occupied the largest share of the mobile phone market at that time."

"Later, we introduced Apple, and domestic mobile phone manufacturers finally saw the gap between them and the best mobile phone manufacturers in the world."

"Recognizing the gap and facing fierce market competition, in just three or four years, our domestic mobile phones became very competitive in 2016, right?! Until now, our mobile phone industry has been fully supported."

Secretary Zhang nodded. Of course he knew about these things in the mobile phone industry.

Moreover, the catfish effect is not limited to the mobile phone market.

He smiled and said:

"Leader, in addition to the mobile phone market, the current new energy vehicle market is also the same, right?"

"We introduced Tesla, and now our new energy vehicle sales are the world's number one. Ten years ago, who would have believed that our car sales could be the world's number one?"

"Correct."

The old man laughed:
"So, I think we can support Qingshan Pharmaceutical to become a 'catfish' in the biopharmaceutical industry."

"They have strong R&D capabilities, and Zhang Yang is willing to invest in R&D. If we can make them bigger and stronger, it is entirely possible to drive the entire pharmaceutical industry upstream and downstream."

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something, picked up the information about Zhang Yang on the table again, and quickly flipped to the last two pages.

"For example, they encountered difficulties with a junior director during the approval process for the production materials of Clobazam... or rather, a conflict."

"We must completely avoid this situation. In fact, since we have chosen Qingshan Pharmaceutical as the catfish, we should also give Qingshan Pharmaceutical a special green channel in administrative approval."

"In short, reducing a series of unnecessary approvals is not about asking them to adapt to us, but about us learning how to adapt to their development."

How do we learn to adapt to their development?
Secretary Zhang looked up at the old man in surprise, then continued to record quickly. He knew that these topics would be discussed at a higher-level meeting.

"Also, this Clobazam incident is a reminder for us."

"We have done too little work on 'rare diseases' before. More than 10,000 patients can only buy generic drugs from India. Why didn't we think of solving this problem before?"

"So, I suggest that we should establish a more complete mechanism for 'rare diseases' as soon as possible and not let the 'clobazam' incident happen again!"

"At the same time, we need to improve a series of measures such as the research and development of rare disease drugs and incentives for generic drugs. We can hold an expert meeting to discuss the specific details, and even invite Zhang Yang and others to attend in person to listen to their opinions!"

Secretary Zhang quickly wrote it down, and after ten seconds or so, he looked up at the old man.

The old man waved his hand:

"Put it away, it's gone."

"Next, we can talk about Comrade Zhang Yang's life problems."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Zhang Yang's information again, and a smile appeared on his face again:

"From the information you collected, I see that Zhang Yang has not yet started a family, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend."

"It's right for young people to focus on their careers, but life and work don't conflict with each other. In fact, life can be a supplement to work."

"Secretary Zhang, when you are free, can you introduce a few suitable girls with clean backgrounds to Zhang Yang?"

Secretary Zhang put away his notebook, somewhat surprised and helpless, and smiled awkwardly:
"Leader, marriage is free now. It's no longer the age of arranged marriages..."

The old man waved his hand:

"How can this be considered an arranged marriage? At most, it's just a blind date for him..."

"This way, we can also show the organization's concern for him!"

"Leader, it's already 2042, why are you still sending your wife to the organization like before?"

"Ha ha!"
