Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 769: Secret Recipe Research Institute Approved, a Unique Historical Opportunity (Two Chapters in One)
Afterwards, Fang Yan took Xiao Li away from the scene.

I'll find Lao Hu and discuss things with him later. As long as there are no problems on his side, the company can be started.

In fact, I originally thought that dialects were very simple, but after putting them into practice, I found that there are actually a lot of things to do.

Many of them are limitations unique to the times, and we have to go around in circles to accomplish them.

Even though everyone knows that these things are completely unnecessary, they have to do it. Now Fangyan and his team are in a state where they have actually been given the green light.

Fortunately, everything is going smoothly overall. So far, no unit or individual has deliberately blocked the process, which is already very good.

……

Drove back to Concorde.

Huang Huijie went to the rehabilitation department to find Lao Hu again, but he said that Lao Hu had already gone to Fangyan's home.

Fangyan immediately thought of what he had said about looking for his younger brother to write a kung fu script.

Then he took Xiao Li back home.

Sure enough, Lao Hu was already discussing this matter with his younger brother.

Seeing Fangyan and the others coming back, Lao Hu said to his younger brother:
"Look, here comes the leading actor."

"We just talked about the plot, it's still a mess, there's no clue yet, let's see if they can give us some advice."

The younger brother said to the dialect:

"Brother, I heard from Brother Hu that he wants Xiao Li to act in a martial arts film to promote traditional Chinese medicine. I really have no idea how to combine martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine together."

After hearing this, Fangyan thought for a moment and said:
"This is not simple, does Huang Feihong know?"

"Huang Feihong?" The younger brother showed a confused look.

He said to him in tongues:

"The earliest movie was 1949's The Story of Huang Feihong, directed by Hu Peng and starring Kwan Tak-hing. You can ask Chen Kaige or his father, they should have quite a few. It's a series of movies, with nearly a hundred films."

Here Fangyan paused:
"Speaking of which... this old man Guan Dexing is also a legendary figure."

This person is a very famous patriot.

In 1937, he sold his car and donated it to fight against Japanese aggression and save the nation.

In 1938, he went to the United States to raise funds for the fight against Japan and established the San Francisco National Salvation Association.

Then he actively participated in charity performances and anti-Japanese propaganda activities.

In 1952, Kwun Tak Hing Pharmacy was opened on King's Road to provide free medical treatment and medicine to the poor.

When the East China flood occurred in 1991, he led his disciples to raise 1 million Hong Kong dollars in donations and made 200 cotton-padded clothes to support the disaster areas.

When the South China flood occurred in 1994, he raised HK$80 through the Wen Wei Po to buy sweaters and send them to the disaster areas.

The younger brother hadn't reacted to what Fang Yan said. As a Nanyang businessman, Old Hu reacted. He slapped his thigh and said:
"Yes, Huang Feihong! This is a good subject! Instead of thinking about it ourselves, why not just follow their lead?"

"The market for Huang Feihong movies has long been proven. Now if a young and handsome national martial arts champion like Xiao Li plays the role, it will surely be a critical and commercial success."

After saying this, he gave a thumbs up to Fangyan:
"Brother, you are a genius! We just spent a long time trying to figure it out, but you just did it and it became clear immediately."

Fangyan smiled. In fact, all these answers were copied from his previous life.

That’s why I can speak freely.

After hearing that Lao Hu also agreed, the younger brother immediately nodded and said:
"Oh, Huang Feihong, okay, I'll make a note of it. I'll call Chen Kaige right away."

He said to him in tongues:
"Don't be so anxious. Just finish what you need to write first."

Lao Hu nodded:
"Yes, start writing the novel in your hand. The novel will be taken to Hong Kong to be filmed as a TV series."

Fangyan patted his younger brother on the shoulder:

"Okay, take your time, and don't put so much pressure on yourself."

The younger brother was a little touched. It turned out that his third brother knew that he was tired.

"Just write 10,000 words a day." Fangyan added.

“…” The younger brother was speechless.

Fangyan turned around and said to Lao Hu:

"By the way, I've just gone to the Huaxia Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine to have a chat. The conditions they offer are quite generous. They can open a column in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine titled "Ancient Prescriptions for Modern Use" for publicity, and the academicians of the institute will jointly sign the "Authentic Medicinal Materials Quality Commitment Letter". In addition, our institute has issued a "Special Approval Document for Secret Recipes", which can help save the three-year domestic new drug review process. It also allows the use of controlled medicinal materials such as musk and tiger bones, and the settlement is based on the planned price. There is nothing else, but they made a request that 3% of the medicinal materials used in our factory be provided by their channels."

"I didn't rush to express my opinion at the time. I said I would come back to ask your opinion. After all, you are the one who makes the decision at the factory."

After hearing this, Hu Daohu thought for a moment and said:
"It doesn't matter who provides the medicinal materials, but 60% may be a bit too much, because Union Hospital and the Ministry of Health will probably also need them."

"We need to find a middle point that can maintain the cooperative relationship with the institute without affecting cooperation with other institutions. At present, considering that the institute provides authentic medicinal materials and fast-track approval privileges, their supply is very important to ensure the quality of drugs."

“But relying too much on research institutes could limit supply chain flexibility, especially in times of increased market demand or emergencies.”

"In addition, the current domestic material allocation has a planned component."

"As an official institution, the institute may have certain planned indicators for the supply of medicinal materials, but as a joint venture between overseas Chinese businessmen, we also need to maintain a certain degree of independent purchasing rights."

Fang Yan nodded and asked Lao Hu:

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

Lao Hu thought for a while and then said:

"My suggestion is to set the supply ratio of the institute at between 40% and 50%, so that it can satisfy the institute's status as an important partner while retaining a sufficient proportion for procurement from other channels."

"Of course, we can't say it for sure. We can tell them... We can set up a dynamic adjustment mechanism later to renegotiate the ratio every year based on actual production capacity and demand changes."

"For example, 40% in the first year. If the cooperation goes well, it will increase to 45% in the second year and 50% in the third year. At the same time, a minimum purchase volume will be guaranteed. This will not only motivate the research institute to ensure quality and stable supply, but also leave room for adjustment for our company."

After that, Lao Hu explained in dialect:
"We also need to consider supply chain redundancy in emergency situations, such as natural disasters or policy changes. Multi-source supply can reduce risks. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain multiple supply channels."

"Maybe they will have some ideas, but we can make up for it in other ways, such as promising to label "raw materials are supervised by Huaxia Chinese Medicine Research Institute" on the drug packaging, and providing two Nanyang academic exchange places to the institute's experts every year."

After that, he asked in dialect:

"Brother, what do you think?"

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"This is something you should have decided. I have no problem with it. If you are sure, I will go over and tell them about it tomorrow."

Xiao Li at the side asked curiously:
"Isn't there still time? Why don't you go over now?"

Fangyan shook his head and said:
"If we do it too quickly, it will seem like we are talking too easily. We are talking to the company, not to a certain person. We need to clarify this. It is necessary to go there tomorrow."

Lao Hu and Fang Yan have a private relationship, so the two of them can finish their conversation quickly without involving other people.

But if you chat with your colleagues at work, then you are not just chatting with one or two people.

Besides, this is just a preliminary idea at the moment. Maybe Lao Hu or Fangyan will have better ideas later, so it would be best to wait until tomorrow to make a decision.

After hearing Fangyan's words, Xiao Li suddenly realized that his straightforward way of thinking when practicing martial arts was not suitable for the current situation.

So he decided to watch more and talk less.

If you don’t understand, ask again.

At this time, Lao Hu smiled and said:

"It's actually good. Now that we have these guarantees from the Huaxia Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I can also use them to negotiate with other units. Since one company has given it, it's impossible for the other two companies to give nothing, right?"

"Okay, I think it's okay." Fang Yan nodded.

After all, Lao Hu is an overseas Chinese businessman, so there is nothing wrong with him saying things that other people in the country are not convenient to say.

This is the benefit of having a different identity.

……

Time passed quickly, and the next day came in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, not long after Fangyan started work, his younger brother came to the hospital to find him with a telegram.

It's news about Le Miao in Hong Kong.

She said in the telegram that she could agree to it, but the specific matters required Hu Daohu to send someone to discuss them.

Fang Yan then told Hu Daohu the news, and Hu Daohu immediately started the matters in Hong Kong.

This completely disrupted his boring life.

Now that I have to deal with matters in both Beijing and Hong Kong by myself, I won't be bored anymore.

It's either nothing happens, or a lot of things happen.

Fangyan's side is fine, but he has Xiao Li with him now. This guy was given a day off by the martial arts team, and he had nothing to do after a day of practice, so he came to Fangyan.

Although I couldn't understand the medical treatment in dialect, I was very enthusiastic about it.

Later at noon, the younger brother said that he wanted to go to the Beijing Film Studio to watch a Huang Feihong movie in the afternoon, so he took Xiao Li away.

Later in the afternoon, Fang Yan went to the Hua Xia Chinese Medical Research Institute as agreed with Lao Hu.

It was the same office as yesterday, and the same people were speaking to them in dialect:
"I tried hard to talk to the overseas Chinese businessman yesterday, and he finally got it. He started with 40%, and as long as the quality of the medicinal materials is good, he promised to expand it to 45% next year! And the name of our institute is specially printed on the packaging. Merchants from Southeast Asia will recognize this golden sign. In addition, he said that he would provide one Nanyang academic exchange quota to the institute's experts every year. I argued hard and got two quotas."

Vice President Zhao Xiwu said to everyone present:

"Let's discuss this. Anyone who has an opinion can speak up."

Then someone immediately expressed his opinion:
"I agree. Comrade Fangyan has secured a lot of benefits for us, and 60% is actually not a small amount. You have to know that there are probably several other units eyeing us. We have taken most of it, and the remaining % is for the rest of them to share. Even if they split it in half, they still won't get as much as we do."

Then everyone raised their hands and expressed their attitudes:

“Yeah, I think it’s pretty good.”

"The 60% we asked for was indeed a bit too much, and after all, it was Hu Daohu who decided this matter, and Comrade Fangyan couldn't do much to interfere. The current result is pretty good."

"Then I agree. After all, the drug packaging is also marked with the supervision logo of our Huaxia Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has already made our unit famous to some extent."

"Well, there are two more places for Nanyang academic exchange, which is actually pretty good."

President Zhao Xiwu said:
"Since everyone has no objection, then I think this matter is settled, right?"

Others nodded.

Zhao Xiwu said:
"Let's take a vote. Those who agree with the decision, please raise your hands!" Then everyone raised their hands.

"Passed unanimously." President Zhao Xiwu announced.

Next, Fangyan started to go through the procedures with the leaders in charge of related matters in the institute. After signing a lot of documents, the next things were pushed forward by the institute.

They will build a secret recipe research institute in the school as soon as possible.

At the same time, Lao Hu was also working at full speed.

……

In this way, time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After the Lantern Festival, school starts.

The traditional Chinese medicine team at Peking Union Medical College has been making personnel adjustments in recent days because some staff members have to leave for the start of the university semester.

The main adjustments are made to the doctors in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals who have been taught in dialects for such a long time.

They now have to gradually take on the main responsibilities.

This includes medical consultations.

Of course, their skills cannot compare with those of Dialect, but the cases they treat here are not all difficult and complicated ones, and they seem to have no problem with common symptoms.

After all, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Peking Union Medical College is already well-known, so it is still in demand in society.

Today is not only the Lantern Festival, but also the day they start seeing patients.

There are four consulting rooms in total, and each of them started to see patients.

Fangyan, the director of the department, has been watching outside. It has been two hours now, and basically no major problems have been encountered.

Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang were also guarding the clinic.

After following the dialect for such a long time, I have become more familiar with it.

They can find ways to solve many problems without using dialects.

But since Fangyan was outside, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If they didn't do well, Brother Fang would know it.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. Although they were a little nervous, they could also feel that their medical skills allowed them to be more calm when dealing with situations. In most situations, they did not need to take action as the Chinese medicine practitioners here could handle it themselves.

"How is it? Are you okay now?" At this time, a voice sounded behind Fangyan.

Fangyan turned around and shouted:

"Dean."

The dean smiled at him, and Fang Yan responded:
"It's OK at the moment. Most of the patients who came today are ordinary patients with common diseases. There are no difficult and complicated diseases that are difficult to treat. In addition, we have sent people to assist. Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang have both studied medicine since childhood. They are quite experienced and can handle the current situation well."

"You will start school tomorrow, and you will be busy then."

Fangyan shook his head and said:

"I've inquired about the courses, and they're not too busy most of the time."

"Oh?" The dean looked at Fangyan curiously.

Fangyan explained to the dean:

"The initial courses are basically useless for those of us who have already started practicing medicine. They are all very basic things."

"For example, the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine and the physical identification of 100 medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the basics of acupuncture, require the recitation of traditional Chinese medicine classics."

"These are skills that most students who choose to enroll in traditional Chinese medicine universities this year have already mastered."

“Only some newcomers who have never been exposed to Chinese medicine need this kind of course.”

Fangyan paused and continued:

"So, we are relatively free during this period."

"You only need to take practical courses and ideological and political courses. As long as you have a solid foundation in theory courses, you basically don't need to take them, or you can take them selectively."

"So even after school started, the initial period was still relatively easy."

The dean nodded.

The dialect said:

"The hard part later on is probably learning Human Anatomy and the Basics of Pathophysiology of Western Medicine."

"Some people who have never been exposed to Western medicine are complete novices, so it may be difficult for them to read."

Yes, in the Capital University of Chinese Medicine, even though they have tried to reduce the amount of Western medicine, you still have to take two Western medicine courses.

This still poses many challenges to many people who have learned Chinese medicine since childhood.

In particular, some basics of Western medicine are completely different from those of traditional Chinese medicine. Although people have gotten used to the dialects, many people are still not used to them.

Take Lao Fan for example, his head must be buzzing when he sees those courses.

The Western medical system has a huge impact on Taoist medicine.

After hearing this, the dean smiled and said to Fang Yan:

"But it's not a problem for you. I can see that you have a good foundation in Western medicine. Maybe even some ordinary Western doctors are not as good as you. I can see it from the international Western medicine journals you read."

Dialect waving hands:
"President, you are praising me. I have only learned about Western medicine, but I haven't studied it in depth. I can talk about it, but if you ask me to do it seriously, I am still not as good as Chinese medicine."

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Besides...I personally do not agree with the theory of combining Chinese and Western medicine."

"Hmm?" It was the first time that the dean heard such a thing discussed in dialect.

Fang Yan said to the dean:

"I have mentioned this many times in our Chinese Science Frontier Club. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two completely different systems. I believe they can only assist each other but cannot be integrated."

"Let me give you an example from not long ago. For example, in the case of acute jaundice in pediatrics, Western medicine doctors checked ALT and AST indicators and used glucuronolide to protect the liver. In traditional Chinese medicine, we identified damp-heat accumulation and prescribed Yinchenhao decoction to promote bile secretion. The points of action are different. Although the data are both real, they must not be mixed together."

Of course, the dean also knew this medical case. He nodded and said:

"To be honest, I don't know much about Chinese medicine, but I also know that the Chinese and Western medical systems are fundamentally different."

"The integration of Chinese and Western medicine is more of a result of Chinese medicine seeking change after being impacted by Western medicine in the past few years. Among them, there are relatively famous doctors who combine Chinese and Western medicine. But after seeing you, I feel that Chinese medicine should abandon Western medicine and use its own way to treat diseases. I am afraid that it can achieve better results."

Fangyan nodded:
"Yes, I feel so too."

"In my opinion, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is like someone speaking Chinese with a few English sentences mixed in. It's neither fish nor fowl."

After he finished speaking, he paused and said:

"Of course, this is the general environment. I can't change it with just a few words."

"Some people have been combining Chinese and Western medicine for a long time before me. I still need more strength to reverse it."

If he hadn't become familiar with the dean during this period of time, he really wouldn't have said these words.

After hearing Fang Yan's words, the dean smiled and said:

"Haha, you are a person who can create miracles. I believe you can do it."

"Besides, this isn't the first time I've heard this. Someone has said it before, and this person is a Western medicine practitioner who switched to traditional Chinese medicine."

"Oh?" Fangyan was surprised.

The Dean said:

"Haha, you must have heard of this person."

"He is Shi Jinmo, the former consultant physician of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Office and one of the four famous doctors in Beijing."

Fangyan suddenly realized:

"Oh, it's him..."

The Dean said:

"He graduated from the Medical School of the Imperial University of Peking and systematically studied the physiology and anatomy of Western medicine."

"In addition, there is Professor Fang Yaozhong from your school. He graduated from the West China Union University School of Medicine."

Fangyan nodded:
“Well, there are actually quite a few people like this.”

"Zhang Xichun first proposed: Chinese medicine is the body, Western medicine is the use. Yun Tieqiao proposed the Chinese medicine ontology that "Chinese medicine organs are not the Western medicine organs in anatomy". He wrote "Qun Jing Jian Zhi Lu" to reconstruct the theoretical system of "Nei Jing". Lu Yuanlei graduated from Nagasaki Medical University in Japan and used cybernetics to interpret "Chinese medicine five movements and six qi". He proposed the concept of "meteorological medicine" and wrote "Current Interpretation of Treatise on Febrile Diseases" to introduce the research results of Japanese and Chinese medicine..."

When Fangyan said this, he thought of these people who had existed in every dynasty, but they had not overturned the integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

At this moment, he felt a lot of pressure. What his predecessors had failed to accomplish, he had to use greater strength to accomplish.

He suddenly realized that he really had to attend some classes after school started tomorrow.

It is not for learning something, but to guide those students who are still a blank slate.

If you write the teaching materials yourself, you have to be on site and use them.

It is up to me to explain these things and let them know that Chinese medicine is a complete system, not a system that needs to be mixed with Western medicine.

But then again, the dean just reminded him that there are actually quite a few Chinese medicine practitioners who agree that Chinese medicine and Western medicine are not in the same system. So, those who have learned Chinese medicine since childhood and are admitted this year should be the ones who support this theory the most, right?
In other words, they should naturally be his allies, and they are definitely the largest in number.

In the future, there will not be so many people of their level at any level, and not only in this school, but also in other schools. They are students who have learned Chinese medicine since childhood, and they are natural allies who support the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. For a moment, Fangyan seemed to see a possibility, and he became excited.

"What's wrong?" When the dean heard Fang Yan talking about this, he suddenly fell silent.

He didn't know what was wrong with the dialect.

Fang Yan came back to his senses, turned around and said to the dean with a smile:

"I was thinking, Dean, you really reminded me. I almost forgot something important just now."

"Ah? What's the matter?" The dean was a little confused.

PS: The 6000-word basic chapter has been updated.

There will be more updates later.
