Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 907: Trial Operation of the Secret Recipe Research Institute, Launch of the Donation Building and Foundation (Bonus Chapter 3K for Monthly Tickets)

After hearing this, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu, stroked his chin and then said:

“That makes sense! The cooperation case with the China Academy of Engineering Physics provides authoritative evidence for traditional Chinese medicine, and books, as carriers of knowledge, naturally possess credibility.”

"By linking research institutes with popular science content, we can leverage the empirical logic of the scientific community, such as the practice of using engineering models to explain traditional Chinese medicine theories, which can directly strengthen public trust in our products."

"Mm." Fang Yan nodded as well.

This can be considered a low-cost, high-efficiency promotion.

In the early days of reform and opening up, when business models were still immature, books, as a traditional medium, had a wide reach.

Just like my younger brother's novels, almost every young person owns a copy.

If Fang Yan were to write a book and distribute it to relevant organizations, he could circumvent restrictions on commercial advertising and quickly penetrate the system through the green channel of policy support. This would perfectly align with his previous strategy of using national cooperation cases to expand the market.

By cleverly combining academic authority with commercial promotion, the Secret Formula Research Institute has provided a low-cost, highly credible market entry point for its products.

No wonder he's someone who's spent several years abroad.

The things they think about are much more flexible than what people in China are using.

It seems that Lao He is not only skilled in acupuncture and Baguazhang, but also has a talent for business. He's definitely a talented person!
Fang Yan quickly agreed with their statement.

“I don’t think this maintenance plan should be written by just me,” Fang Yan added.

The two looked at Fang Yan:

"Huh? What do you mean?"

The dialect explanation is as follows:
"I believe that, just like when we compiled 'The Processing of Traditional Chinese Medicine,' we should widely invite professionals from all walks of life to participate. We should find teachers from TCM colleges and universities, professors from research institutes, and experts from major TCM hospitals, so that everyone can contribute their wisdom."

"Think about it, the benefits of doing it this way are far greater than if I did it alone."

The others all wore thoughtful expressions.

He said in dialect:

"Doing this will provide more authoritative endorsement for the plan on the one hand, and bring together many experts, which will naturally increase the plan's acceptance. If only I were to take the lead, the plan's influence would ultimately be limited. Only by attracting more people to participate in the compilation of this book can we generate wider attention and make more people interested in it."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

After discussing the agreed-upon matters, Fang Yan called home to say she wouldn't be going back, and then, not long after, they started having lunch at Xiehe Hospital.

Today, the chef pulled out all the stops and prepared a table full of dishes of exceptional quality, far exceeding his usual standards.

Although it wasn't as good as the food prepared by chefs specializing in local cuisine or those who cook for state banquets, it was still quite delicious. At least Lao Liu and Lei Lian, who often eats at the school cafeteria, gave it high praise.

After lunch, Fang Yan went home first, then drove everyone to the school gate.

Then he and Lao He entered the Huaxia Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

First, they went to the Acupuncture Research Institute to discuss the improvement plan for the ear acupuncture patch with Elder Cheng. Then, the two of them went to the Secret Formula Research Institute for a look.

Trial production has already begun here, and the operators in charge of production are skilled workers found by the Huaxia Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Their current production schedule is for manufacturing a portion of products destined for Yugoslavia.

After production, the products need to be compared with those from other production lines to ensure consistency.

Now, the dialect team has arrived with a new plan.

After they finish producing this batch, start making another batch: Xiaoyao Shugan Pills, Tianma Gouteng Slow-Release Pills, Yinzhi Shenqi Liver-Protecting Pills, and Juming Tea Glycoside Granules.

The production methods and process requirements have all been written out.

Of course, it's not enough for them to just speak their dialect casually. This kind of workshop production requires production documents and a process for purchasing raw materials. Basically, once the current production here is almost finished, the raw materials will also be in place.

Fang Yan retrieved several official seals from his office cabinet, wrote down a document, and stamped it with a series of slaps, making three copies: one for his unit's records, one for the workshop, and one for the higher-level research institute.

The next tasks will be handed over to Comrade Lao He, who just joined the company.

He was bored before, but now this job is coming up soon.

Of course, when he's busy, Fang Yan still has to ask him for benefits. He had previously mentioned wanting a place to stay at the research institute so he could rest there when he works late.

Fang Yan then went to see his superior, Vice President Zhao Xiwu.

Fortunately, the research institute had vacant rooms, and the approval process was completed in no time.

Next, Lao He will sign and confirm the documents himself, and then we will purchase the necessary items.

Seeing that he was a bit annoyed, Fang Yan also wanted to find him a helper.

Actually, I originally wanted to ask Da Jin for help with the dialect, but after thinking about it, I decided against it.

Ultimately, Fang Yan turned her ideas to the fifth-year senior.

Professor Yu Chuan's students are about to graduate, so Fang Yan went to ask them if they wanted to join the Secret Formula Research Institute. Of course, it was entirely voluntary, since they were also on secondment at Peking Union Medical College.

Several boys were still hesitant, but Su Yue, the only girl, immediately expressed her willingness to go.

Fang Yan told her that he was to be the assistant to the deputy director.

Su Yue agreed.

Then Fang Yan went directly to make the arrangements.

In just this short time, I got all the work arrangements sorted out before afternoon classes.

Fang Yan then returned to her class.

Due to confidentiality issues, today's medical case cannot be shared.

Everyone who participated in observing today's events remained tight-lipped about the work done.

He knew nothing when asked, but that only fueled everyone's interest. Then the dialect came along, and everyone started asking him questions.

The dialect makes a difference; he directly told everyone:
"This afternoon's medical appointments were for a classified unit, so I can't tell you."

"If there is a leak, everyone involved will be investigated."

After this was stated clearly, everyone immediately became obedient.

Fang Yan then asked the deputy squad leader, Li Zhengji, about tomorrow's assignments.

After my doctor's appointment tomorrow, it will be the weekend.

Since we were having dinner with Otsuka Keisetsu in the evening, we could still hold a shareholders' meeting at Fangyan's house that day.

There have been many changes in the company recently, and we still need to explain things to them in dialect.

Fang Yan now prefers to entrust the tasks assigned by the organization to Li Zhengji.

The main thing is that he's reliable; he can understand anything just by being told a little bit of dialect.

Communicating with smart people is simple.

Tomorrow it will be the turn of the people following the dialect: Daoist doctor Yuan Qingshan, Zhu Lina, Zhao Zhongzhen, and Pang Hong. The latter three were all people I met on campus day (see chapter 600). They were experts who entered the school with good grades, and of course, they were all famous experts in their respective regions in their later years.

In her previous life, Zhu Lina was a member of the Pediatrics Professional Committee of the Capital Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a director of the Pediatrics Branch of the National Association of Higher Education of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Zhao Zhongzheng later became the Vice Dean and Emeritus Professor of the School of Chinese Medicine at Hong Kong Baptist University, and was also the academic planner of the large-scale documentary "Boundless Materia Medica".

Pang Hong, a classmate who is now little known, was the successor of Professor Cheng of the Acupuncture Institute of the Academy of Sciences.

They're all experts. Fang Yan plans to recruit these people once they've grown up.

However, they are still somewhat weak right now, and dialect can only offer them some benefits and opportunities for the time being.

The opportunity is to let them learn from me; as for the benefits, that's something to consider.

Fang Yan was still thinking about this, but after the afternoon class, she realized that Fang Yan had finally figured it out.

He was found by Wang Enhou, the school's chairman, right after school ended.

I mainly told him two things.

The first is Xiong Jing's plan to donate a building to the school in the name of dialect.

The school has now given its approval.

The land demarcation process is underway.

The second thing is that the Ministry of Health notified us this afternoon that the first payment for the Huo family's "Dialect Traditional Chinese Medicine Development Fund" has been secured, and the plan is to prioritize pilot programs in two TCM schools and their TCM and Chinese Materia Medica departments in Beijing.

Each school and department will select 50 outstanding students as the first batch of recipients of the grant, totaling 200 students.

Following the Nobel Prize model, an independent review committee composed of professors from TCM colleges and universities, experts from TCM hospitals, and scholars from research institutes will be established to ensure professionalism and impartiality.

The comprehensive evaluation method combines indicators such as academic performance, clinical practice ability, and research potential, with a focus on supporting students who "have a clear ambition to develop traditional Chinese medicine".

The funds are flexible in their use, and can be used for scholarships, research project funding, and the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine culture, with specific allocation based on student needs and project feasibility.

A regulatory committee under the Ministry of Health was established, requiring transparent and open disclosure of fund flows, and regular audits and public announcements.

It should be incorporated into the authoritative supervision of the TCM community to ensure that the allocation of funds is not interfered with by certain individuals.

In the future, it will gradually expand from the capital to TCM colleges and universities across the country, and add special programs such as the "Young TCM Practitioner Training Program" and the "Folk TCM Inheritance Project".

The later plan is to combine industry, academia and research, and the funding will not be limited to education. In the future, it can be expanded to the research and development of new Chinese medicine drugs, such as referring to the model of the Secret Formula Research Institute, and the international promotion of Chinese medicine.

This means that not only traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and herbal remedies, but also people with the ability to promote traditional Chinese medicine, such as actors, can receive this funding and reward.

As for the fund investments, they are managed by the Huo family, specifically by the Huo family's eldest branch, or Huo's representative.

From another perspective, it's as if he paid to help Fang Yan gain fame.

At the same time, the Huo family and Fang Yan are tied together. If Fang Yan wants to continue to increase his influence in the field of traditional Chinese medicine through this foundation, he must be tied to Huo, the representative of the eldest branch of the Huo family.

Of course, Fang Yan didn't have anything to object to about Representative Huo's move. Representative Huo used the foundation to deeply bind himself to Fang Yan, enhancing his political capital and business influence.

The fund's management model is based on independent review plus official supervision, and its expansion plan is highly consistent with the strategies of industry-academia-research collaboration, international promotion, and the revitalization of traditional Chinese medicine in local dialects.

The two sides formed a community of shared interests, with Huo receiving policy support from the mainland and Fang Yan receiving funding and resources to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Fortunately, dialect can also provide another form of support for those who did not receive shares.

Even people from other schools can do the same; overall, this is a win-win situation.

Moreover, Fang Yan also knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Representative Huo would eventually take control of the Huo family in Hong Kong.

The closer the bond between the two now, the greater the help they will receive later.

After Secretary Wang Enhou finished speaking, he asked Fang Yan to provide a list, saying that since he was also a student, the list he provided would be more convincing.

Comrade Wang's actions show that the higher-ups are still clear about the true nature of this fund.

Fang Yan immediately started writing down the class list.

P.S.: It's terrifying, we've accumulated another 400 monthly votes by the deadline for this article, so I'll have to owe you another 8000 words.

After finishing this chapter, I now owe everyone a total of 51000 words.

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

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