Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 817: Things aren't going too smoothly; checking for omissions and uncovering hidden dangers (Bonus chapter for monthly pass winners)
Fang Yan then realized that although the reason was similar to what he had thought of, he hadn't expected it to be so simple and straightforward.

People come specifically for him, and it's not just a one-time visit; it's a long-term partnership where they can seek his medical help whenever they have any health issues.

Fang Yan was both amused and exasperated, realizing that his medical skills had become a significant bargaining chip.

Fang Yan said to Milos:

"Thank you for trusting my medical skills so much."

"However, there are still many incurable diseases in the world. To say that any disease can be cured is a bit of an overstatement."

Milos waved his hand and said:
"Actually, that's not important. The main thing is that saying that was the most effective thing at the time."

Fang Yan paused for a moment, then laughed:

"Haha, I must say, Milos, you're a genius."

Milos burst into laughter upon hearing the dialect remark:

"Hahaha……"

The two then discussed the details of their upcoming collaboration. After the visit, the other side would make a 70% payment, and then production would begin here.

When the goods were shipped, the Yugoslavian side paid the final payment.

The dialect sounds pretty good; this cycle is already quite good.

Because the price was increased by 30% before, the down payment they make now is basically equivalent to paying the full amount. As for the remaining 30%, that's for sharing the profits.

The exact amount Milos is to be given is still undecided, but Lao Hu is very knowledgeable about these matters, so Fang Yan doesn't need to worry about it.

After saying goodbye to Milos, Fang Yan returned to her class.

This morning I didn't go to the clinical clinic; I just attended class in the classroom.

The morning passed much slower than in the hospital.

During breaks, you can still see Fang Yan, and the truck carrying building materials headed towards his "secret recipe research institute".

I don't know what grade of cement it is, and they even covered it up with something.

They were towed in by military vehicles. Fang Yan wondered if, after the underground construction was completed, a fast passage would be dug from here to directly enter the underground system of Beijing, just like the secret fortifications under Moscow that connect to the subway.

Refuge and rapid evacuation are possible at any time.

After his morning session ended, Fang Yan went home for lunch, where Lao Hu was already waiting for him.

After inquiring in the dialect, I learned that they had already visited the production line that morning.

The other party was quite satisfied.

"Where did you go to see it?" Fang Yan asked Lao Hu.

Lao Hu said:

"The supply line for Dongzhimen Hospital was spearheaded by the Huaxia Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine this time."

"Although the production line is a bit old, it is well maintained, and its scale and hygiene standards are top-notch. It's fine to show it to Ivan and his team."

"After they looked at it, they went back to prepare the first payment."

Fang Yan nodded upon hearing this, satisfied with the speed and smoothness of the progress.

Old Hu said to the dialect:

"It's all thanks to the leaders who coordinated the work of various departments. If it weren't for them, it would have been a problem for just the two of us to handle all the procedures and the venue. This project probably wouldn't have been able to be completed."

Fang Yan strongly agreed with this statement, saying:

"That's right. Only with the involvement of the national level can so many departments be coordinated to help."

"Until our production line is built, we will have to rely on other production lines for production."

Lao Hu said:

“It’s okay. We’ve raised the price by 30 percent, which is more than enough to cover the processing fees that take up the production line.”

Fang Yan suddenly thought of something and said:

"By the way, have they tested our traditional Chinese medicine?"

"What test?" Old Hu was still a little confused.

Fang Yan said to him:
"The export of this drug involves multiple regulatory and inspection requirements. Different countries and regions have different standards for the inspection of drug ingredients. The main requirements are safety inspection, efficacy ingredient inspection, and ingredient consistency inspection. If any of our nine products contain substances prohibited by their country, we must report them now and either find a way to replace them or cancel them."

Hearing this, Lao Hu said:

"I'll have to ask about that. We haven't produced it before, and I haven't paid attention to it. Besides, this is my first time making pharmaceuticals," Fang Yan said.

"It's alright. The people at the Ministry of Health should be experienced. Just tell them that the inspection report hasn't come out yet, and ask them to help with the inspection report. Then check with Natalia's side to see if there are any things that are prohibited in their country. If not, sign a confirmation form before starting production. Otherwise, we might produce a lot and then find out if there are any regulatory issues, which would make things awkward for everyone."

Old Hu nodded:
"Okay, I'll do as you say and contact them right now."

Fang Yan said to him:
"There's no rush. Let's eat first and then go."

"Okay." Old Hu agreed, and the two of them went through the whole process again during their meal.

Because everything went so smoothly, Fang Yan felt that something must have been missed.

Upon reviewing the situation, it turned out that there were indeed some things that should have been done but weren't.

For example, regarding religious and cultural taboos, Yugoslavia was a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country, with its main religious beliefs being Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Islam.

Among them, some groups, such as Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), adhere to Islam and belong to the Muslim community.

Therefore, products containing lard as a base need to be replaced with other types of oil.

Furthermore, it needs to obtain a halal certification; otherwise, it will be confiscated at the port of Belgrade.

There is also a certificate of origin, which may increase the tariff by 23% if there is no tariff.

This also needs to be reissued by contacting the higher-ups.

In addition, there is the moist heat sterilization method used in Southern Europe. Traditional honey pills are sterilized by soaking in white wine, and the actual total number of colonies may exceed the standard when they are transported.

This requires vacuum freezing sterilization technology, which is the equipment currently available in canneries and pharmaceutical factories.

We need to coordinate with higher-level authorities on this.

In addition, there are the registered trademarks and intellectual property rights they mentioned earlier.

These are things that need to be done as soon as possible.

After finishing the meal, Lao Hu was already a bit on edge. Luckily, he came to see Fang Yan today, otherwise he would have forgotten all about these things.

This is also Lao Hu's first time handling the import and export of finished Chinese medicine products, and he doesn't know much about many things.

Fortunately, Fang Yan had already learned some information beforehand, otherwise these things would have been missed. Although the higher-ups might have noticed, there was also a chance they wouldn't have.

The saying "You have to believe that the world is a giant makeshift operation" is not a joke.

This product is mainly exported; very little is made domestically.

Moreover, the need for this was particularly urgent, and with progress going smoothly on all sides, complacency was quite possible.

When it was time to leave, Lao Hu was still worried and asked in dialect:
"Is everything alright now?"

Fang Yan thought for a moment and said to him:
"Ask the people at the Ministry of Health; they are professionals. Let them oversee the export of finished products."

Old Hu nodded; he still needed to ask someone from the Ministry of Health about this.

Make sure you don't miss anything.

The meal just now almost made him break out in a cold sweat.

Just as he was about to leave, Fang Yan asked:

"By the way, we didn't sign the liability exemption clause either, did we?"

Old Hu looked bewildered.

He said in dialect:

"Does the contract include a clause that exempts the patient from liability for overdose?"

Old Hu thought for a moment, and then said:

"It seems there really isn't."

Fang Yan said to him:
"Then we need to sign a 'Clinical Use Confirmation Form' and have it notarized by the embassy."

"You can't guarantee that everyone is a normal person. What if someone thinks that taking too much Chinese medicine will make them recover faster and causes them problems? Or what if they take oral medication instead of topical medicine? These things need to be written into a disclaimer. If something happens after it's written, we're not responsible. If we don't write it and something happens, we'll be fined."

Old Hu nodded:
"Understood! I'll do it right away."

P.S.: I still owe you 48000 words after finishing this chapter.

That's all for today, please come early tomorrow.

Lao Feng is working hard to write tomorrow's code.
