Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 827 A Sports-Loving Heart Disease Patient: Fang Yan, Why Don't You Take Over as a Clinic? (Combined Chapter)
Now that Chu Qiaonan's contract is signed, the rest are the others.

Lao Fan, Du Heng, Yan Yifan, Cheng Baogui.

Everyone brought their own family's most treasured secret recipes, and now everyone has received shares, successfully binding themselves to the dialect company.

In a way, he could be considered Fang Yan's partner.

After signing and pressing their fingerprints, three copies of the contract were made: two for Fang Yan and one for themselves. Once all this was done, the matter was considered settled.

"Keep the contract safe, don't lose it," Fang Yan said to them.

One by one, they all agreed. In fact, without any prompting in the local dialect, they all knew to keep the contract safe, because this was a steady stream of money. The better the company's business was, the more dividends they would receive.

In other words, even now, with the planned economy in place, they lack sales channels. But if they had the same connections as Chu Qiaonan, they would have found a way to expand their business.

Now it feels more like taking advantage of the local dialect.

It feels more like the dialect is helping them get promoted one by one.

That evening, there were fewer people at home, so Fang Yan went to the kitchen and made a few quick stir-fries and cold dishes. She also drank some Shaoxing wine with a few people and then let Cheng Baogui, Du Heng, and Yan Yifan stay overnight.

Lao Fan lived in the nearby Xiehe Family and Staff Compound, so he did not stay overnight at Fang Yan's house.

After dinner, Old Cheng asked Sophia and Anton to take him home on their way back.

After a busy day, Fang Yan finally had time to talk to his wife about what he had done that day before going to bed.

Every evening is a time for the couple to talk.

Fang Yan would tell Her Majesty most of her thoughts, which were mainly about the current situation, as well as her predictions and plans for the future. Her Majesty was actually quite intelligent, and sometimes she would offer some important suggestions and opinions.

Some may not be very mature, but they can make the dialect associate with other aspects, and sometimes they can even make the dialect feel refreshed.

For example, when we were talking about this, Her Majesty the Queen told Fang Yan that since they wanted to open up channels to Europe, why not try more different channels?
"For example, giving you that very valuable bottle of red wine."

Fang Yan paused for a moment, then said:

You mean Li Chengzhu?

Zhu Lin nodded and said:
"Yes, her foundation in Europe is much stronger than Chu Qiaonan's."

"Didn't you say that she also sponsors the Tour de France? If you could promote your products at the cycling race, wouldn't it be more acceptable to more people?"

The dialect began to expand its thinking based on her statement:

"Yes, or we could develop some essential products for these athletes that have no side effects, such as those for altitude sickness, cardiopulmonary function, and injury treatment..."

At this thought, Fang Yan was already jolted awake.

In the 1980s, Lee Kum Kee opened up overseas markets by sponsoring the Hong Kong Marathon, and its sports nutrition line accounted for 45% of its revenue within three years.

This is entirely feasible! Why didn't I think of it before?
Zhu Lin smiled and said to Fang Yan:

"Look at you, you've thought of so much right away."

Fang Yan gave his wife a thumbs up:

"Wife, you're a genius!"

Zhu Lin was amused by Fang Yan's gesture:

"Haha, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang, I just suddenly thought of this too."

Fang Yan nodded:
"I think that's a good idea. I'll go ask Li Chengzhu tomorrow morning!"

"If this works out, he should be more reliable than Chu Qiaonan."

From a purely profit-making perspective, cooperating with Li Chengzhu is definitely much better than with Chu Qiaonan. However, given Chu Qiaonan's other qualities, Fang Yan certainly won't give him up.

……

It's time for the next day.

The next morning, when Fang Yan got up to exercise, she told Lao Hu about it.

Old Hu is, after all, a shareholder, and someone who has been in the business world of Southeast Asia for many years. He certainly knows more about Li Chengzhu than Fang Yan does.

"Her first sudden heart palpitation occurred in June 1976, when she was cycling a long distance in the high-altitude mountainous region of the Pyrenees. When she checked her pulse, she noticed intermittent pauses. Since then, whenever she was overworked or angry, she would experience palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and even difficulty breathing. She received treatment at a local hospital for more than a month, but it was not only ineffective, but she also experienced occasional pain in her precordial region."

"Subsequently, she went to another hospital in Europe for treatment and invited a renowned local doctor to make a diagnosis. The diagnosis showed that she had an arrhythmia, with frequent junctional premature contractions, which is a type of premature ventricular contraction. In addition, she also had intraventricular conduction aberration, which is an abnormality in cardiac electrical conduction."

"Afterwards, the doctors there treated her with medication for three months, but it was ineffective. This Ms. Li not only liked alcohol, but also loved sports. In 1977, which was last year, she disregarded her physical condition and once again embarked on a cycling trip on the plateau route, resulting in a relapse of her old illness. After being rushed to the hospital, the local doctors advised her to avoid strenuous exercise and to take medication for life. Helpless, she happened to learn of my existence while abroad, so she returned here."

"After this period of treatment, her palpitations have lessened, but she still has some premature heartbeats. In the past few days, at her request, she underwent a cardiac examination, and the results show that bigeminy has not been found so far."

"In short, her condition is gradually improving."

Because Lao Hu hadn't paid much attention to patients, Fang Yan simply gave Lao Hu a brief overview of Li Chengzhu's information.

Old Hu turned his head and said to Fang Yan:

"So...she'll have to stay here for treatment for a while longer, right?"

Fang Yan nodded:
"Yes, there should still be a period of treatment ahead."

Then Fang Yan asked Lao Hu about Li Chengzhu's family background.

Old Hu was quite clear about this, and he said:

"This Li Chengzhu, her family has been monopolizing the wine trade in Southeast Asia since the Qing Dynasty. Her father is the current head of the family, and there are other uncles and cousins ​​in Southeast Asian politics. In short, their influence is quite large. However, the competition within her family is quite fierce. As the eldest daughter, she was ostracized by her uncles and cousins. In order to prove her ability, she went to Europe. Sponsoring the cycling race is not only because she likes sports, but also because she wants to use it as a breakthrough to transform her family's wine business from a traditional wine merchant."

Fang Yan asked Lao Hu:

"Then why isn't she married yet, even in her thirties? Logically speaking, someone of her status should have gotten married much earlier, right?"

Old Hu revealed:
“Her uncles and aunts pressured her to marry into the family of a rubber tycoon. She was very individualistic and delayed the marriage by saying she would only consider it after completing the Tour de France. This dragged on for several years. However, she suffered a heart attack during a high-altitude cycling trip in 1976, and the marriage fell through. But she also used her illness to completely get rid of the arranged marriage. At the time, we all thought she had bribed the doctor. But now that you've told me, I realize that she really did have a problem.”

Fang Yan nodded, then asked Lao Hu:

Do you think there's a problem with us cooperating with her?

"For example, is it possible that because of her, she might be targeted by her family?"

Lao Hu said:

"That's unlikely. Since she's managed to thrive in Europe, she must have her own methods."

After he finished speaking, he said in dialect:

“I think this has potential. Let’s set a time to talk to her together.”

Fang Yan was somewhat surprised to hear this and asked:
"Didn't you say you wouldn't see people from Southeast Asia?"

Old Hu waved his hand:
"Sigh, she's not from Southeast Asia, and she's similar to me; she was also schemed against by her family."

"I'll take advantage of this time to put together a business plan."

"You mentioned muscle strain and altitude sickness, which I think are good options. They precisely target the riders in the race. If we can obtain the 'Official Supplier of the Tour de France' certification by sponsoring the race, it can enhance European consumers' trust in traditional Chinese medicine. We can also gradually establish a sub-brand through race integration, creating a differentiated positioning from the Japanese shell company."

“That way we won’t have to wait for Chu Qiaonan’s storyline; we can proceed with both storylines simultaneously.”

Fang Yan nodded:
“Alright, in that case, I’ll go and tell Li Chengzhu about it later.”

……

After breakfast, Fang Yan led Lao Fan to begin ward rounds and physical therapy.

Dialect-accented ward rounds; Lao Fan administers physiotherapy.

Old Fan learned two acupuncture techniques yesterday and started researching them last night. As a result, he stayed up until the early hours of the morning and is now noticeably less focused.

Fang Yan suggested that he simply take a day off and rest at home today.

However, Lao Fan said it wasn't necessary, as he had to go to Xiyuan Hospital for his internship today.

Fang Yan didn't say much when he saw that he insisted. He hadn't even had a chance to look at the Thirteen Ghost Needles that Zhou Zuoyu had taught him yesterday. He probably wouldn't be able to look at it until he got back tonight.

They checked each room one by one, and Fang Yan finally checked Li Chengzhu's room last.

When they arrived, Li Chengzhu was doing some simple exercises in her room. She was now restricted from strenuous exercise due to her dialect, so she could only do some less strenuous exercises.

Upon seeing Fang Yan arrive, she immediately greeted him:

"Dr. Fang, it's quite late today. Did you oversleep?"

Fang Yan seized the opportunity to say:
"I chatted with Mr. Hu Daohu for a while today, so I was a little late."

Li Chengzhu covered his mouth and laughed:
"Haha, I know he and you are close, but I didn't expect him to want to chat with you so early. If you didn't know, you would think he has some unique hobby."

Having been exposed to the internet age, Fang Yan certainly knew what kind of joke Li Chengzhu was making.

However, he could only pretend he didn't understand and got straight to the point:

"Actually, Mr. Hu Daohu and I run a company that specializes in selling Chinese medicine products overseas, so we often need to communicate recently."

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Li Chengzhu, who had just been teasing Fang Yan, was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You started a company with him???"

“Yes.” Fang Yan nodded and explained, “I provide the technology and the secret formula, and he provides the money and obtains policy support. We join forces to start a company.”

Li Chengzhu suddenly realized and said, "So, it really is... quite good." She knew in her heart that Hu Daohu had a certain level of strength.

Immediately afterward, Li Chengzhu's eyes lit up, and he tentatively said, "Dr. Fang, you can start a company with me and we can target the European market. You can provide the technology and the secret formula, and I will provide the funding and try to get policy support."

"..." Fang Yan was stunned, thinking that the situation was not quite what she had expected. The original plan was to bring Hu Daohu along and then cooperate with Li Chengzhu, but with Li Chengzhu, it turned into completely abandoning Hu Daohu and only partnering with her.

However, Fang Yan quickly understood and then shook his head with a smile, saying, "Of course we can cooperate. In fact, I came here today to discuss cooperation with you. However, Mr. Hu Daohu must be involved."

"Oh? He has to be there?" Li Chengzhu asked, somewhat surprised.
"Are you two really that close?"

He said in dialect:

“Ms. Li, Mr. Hu and I have already cooperated many times. We are deeply intertwined, which cannot be explained in a few words. Moreover, we trust each other, complement each other’s resources, and the risks are controllable.”

"You know that to cooperate with someone, you need to accumulate trust capital, and Mr. Hu and I have enough."

It's also inconvenient to speak many dialects.

However, Fang Yan already has a history of working with Hu Daohu, and there are many other third parties involved besides emotional ones. By abandoning Lao Hu to work with Li Chengzhu, Fang Yan is digging a hole for himself.

Once you understand the key points, you'll never lose sight of the bigger picture when it comes to dialects.

Li Chengzhu didn't ask any more questions; she just nodded thoughtfully.

Then asked:

"So how do you plan to cooperate?"

He said in dialect:

"Simply put, it's about opening up the European market through you, mainly targeting athletes..."

Speaking in his local dialect, he explained his plans and mentioned that he possessed many secret recipes.

Fang Yan said to Li Chengzhu:
"If you're interested, the three of us can find a place to talk."

Li Chengzhu nodded:

"Sure, that works."

"You decide the time and place!"

Fang Yan thought for a moment and asked:

"How was lunch at my house today?"

Li Chengzhu was taken aback:
"At your home?"

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"It's right across from Xiehe Street, just across the street."

Hearing this so closely, Li Chengzhu thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Haha, great! I've never been to your house before."

"Since you've invited me, let's go to your place!"

After things were settled, Fang Yan informed Lao Hu that they would have lunch at home today to discuss matters.

Upon hearing this, Lao Hu immediately agreed, as the sooner the better.

Otherwise, once Li Chengzhu is cured by Fang Yan, he will have a lot less control over Li Chengzhu.

While Li Chengzhu still needs Fang Yan's help, many things don't need to be explicitly stated. Li Chengzhu himself knows to make concessions, and that's Lao Hu's plan.

……

Next, Fang Yan filled up the car with gas and then drove to school.

Today is my internship at Xiyuan Hospital, but I need to discuss business at lunchtime, so Fang Yan has to drive there.

I also told my homeroom teacher, Liu Duzhou, about leaving early for lunch.

Speaking of which, Liu Duzhou is also one of their shareholders, and Fang Yan took the opportunity to report on the company's affairs to Lao Liu.

Knowing that he had gained a bunch of shareholders in his class and that he was going to expand into the European market, Lao Liu felt a bit absurd. He had always been a teacher who honestly taught students, but one day he was being led by his students to make money.

Not only him, but also Ren Yingqiu, Yue Meizhong, Fang Yaozhong, Cheng Xinnong, Zhao Xiwu, and other senior professors are all shareholders of this company.

The others took the school bus, while Fang Yan drove his sports car and sped off to Xiyuan Hospital first.

Master Jiao Shude isn't here today, but Senior Brother Chen Yong is, so Fang Yan went to say hello first.

Then, just like last time, I ran into the child who had a splinter in his hand, and the Western doctor cut open his hand and caused the problem.

"Why are you here today? Is there something wrong with the child's hand?"

Fang Yan asked the patient's father.

"No, no, it's because after your treatment last time, my child's bowel movements became regular, his urine became clear, and the swelling on his palms subsided. But today, granulation tissue has appeared on his fingers."

He said in dialect:

"The appearance of granulation tissue is a good thing; it means healing has begun."

The patient's father said:
"No, the pus is still flowing out. I heard that if it heals before the pus has completely drained, it may continue to swell."

The dialect suddenly became clear:

"Oh, you're worried about that."

Then he waved his hand and explained:

"It's okay, the phenomenon you described won't happen. The pus won't flow for long; it will definitely drain out before it heals."

After hearing the assurance in the dialect, the patient's father was finally relieved.

He repeatedly expressed his gratitude in dialect.

Then he left the consultation room.

“I just told him that, but he didn’t believe me,” Chen Yong said to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan was taken aback, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Indeed, some people only trust their original doctor and distrust everyone else. Among them, the three old comrades from the military compound are a prime example. Although they believe in traditional Chinese medicine, they only trust the doctor from the Fangyan branch and do not trust anyone else.

The patient's father was the same; despite Chen Yong being his senior in dialect, he didn't buy into that.

As long as it's not a dialect, they're all categorized as quack doctors.

Chen Yong was aware of this situation, of course; he was just joking with Fang Yan.

After waiting a while, Fang Yan looked out the window and saw the school bus arriving at the entrance downstairs.

So he said goodbye to Chen Yong and went downstairs to join the group.

When they arrived downstairs, Liu Duzhou had already taken attendance and started assigning each person a different intern clinic.

When Fang Yan arrived, Liu Duzhou assigned him to lead a team.

The team members are Du Heng and Yan Yifan.

And then there's Wang Zhijun, that taciturn guy.

The four of them went together to meet Chen Keji.

This person was also one of the editors who filled in their names when Fang Yan was compiling "Traditional Chinese Medicine Processing".

Moreover, Fang Yan and he went on stage together to receive a medical achievement award at the Ministry of Health's mid-year conference last year.

There are two dialects, but he has three.

Fang Yan just learned that this big shot was promoted to director of the Cardiovascular Disease Research Laboratory at Xiyuan Hospital this year.

Like Fang Yan, they are both big shots at the director level.

Although the two are different in age, they have been quite in sync in some aspects over the past two years.

He was born on October 20, 1930, in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and is not yet 48 years old this year.

He graduated from Fujian Medical College in 1954 and stayed on as a resident physician and teaching assistant in the Department of Internal Medicine at the affiliated hospital.

In March 1956, following Professor Wang Zhongfang's advice, he switched from Western medicine to traditional Chinese medicine and went to the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine to study. In April, he was assigned to work in the treatment room for high-ranking officials and foreign guests at the Institute of Internal Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where he became an apprentice of the famous doctor Ran Xuefeng.

In 1957, he systematically organized literature on pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine, which laid the foundation for his work in 1978 to rescue and organize more than 3 original medical archives from the Qing Dynasty court.

It really does sound very similar to Fang Yan, except he's older than Fang Yan.

In 1958, he, along with Zhao Xiwu and Guo Shikui, began research on hypertension and coronary heart disease.

In 1961, he was transferred to Xiyuan Hospital.

After 1971, he developed the "Coronary Heart Disease No. 2" treatment for coronary heart disease by clinically verifying the blood-activating and stasis-removing method.

Then, refined coronary heart disease tablets were developed.

Tetramethylpyrazine was found to have antiplatelet aggregation effects.

Promote the use of "Ligustrazine".

Norcodone was found to improve sick sinus syndrome.

He has been receiving awards at the Ministry of Health's annual mid-year conference since 1971, truly a genius whose talent is unmatched even by those with exceptional dialect skills.

It is also worth mentioning that in the original history, he was awarded the title of "National Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine" in 2014.

In treating Li Chengzhu's heart problem, Fang Yan actually used a lot of Chen Keji's experience from his previous life.

If we're to be honest, Chen Keji also deserves credit for this collaboration with Li Chengzhu.

"Director Chen!"

Upon arriving at Chen Keji's clinic, Fang Yan and the others greeted the big shot one by one.

Chen Keji had a round face and squinty eyes, and looked rather ordinary. Who would have thought that he would achieve so many medical breakthroughs?

This is the opposite of what dialects mean.

He's busy packing his things right now, as if he's about to leave.

Upon seeing Fang Yan and the others, Chen Keji recognized Fang Yan and quickly said:
"Oh my, Comrade Fangyan and classmates, what brings you here?"

Comrades and classmates with dialects?

What a strange name.

But thinking about it carefully, it is indeed more reasonable to call someone "comrade" in dialects.

As expected of someone who does research, they are indeed very rigorous in this regard.

Chen Keji said to Fang Yan and the others:

"Your school has really made a mistake in sending you to my place today."

He asked in dialect:

"Huh? Why?"

Chen Keji said to Fang Yan and the others:

"Your teacher Liu probably doesn't know, but I just took over a task from another department. Two days ago, the project was approved by the Ministry of Health, and all participants were required to sign a Level 3 confidentiality agreement. I have to go to other places soon, so I can't take you with me at all."

He pointed to a leather suitcase in the corner of the consultation room, which was clearly sealed with a "Confidential, Special Needs, Special Project" label.

As expected of someone who does research, they're really busy.

"..." Everyone stared at Chen Keji speechlessly.

Fang Yan was also scratching his head, thinking, "Isn't the work arrangement by our homeroom teacher, Lao Liu, just too unreliable?"

At this moment, Chen Keji tentatively asked:

"How about Comrade Fang Yan offers to hold a consultation here?"

"Anyway, your medical skills are definitely not a problem."

PS: The basic chapter of 6000 words has been updated.

There will be an extra chapter later!
