Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 150: I can’t explain it clearly! (Please subscribe)

"I do have some ideas." Yang Ning said to Dean Guo.

Then he told President Guo his idea.

As for the matter of the little blue pill, Yang Ning planned not to tell him for the time being and wait until the finished product came out.

As for what to do with this medicine in the end, let the higher-ups make the decision.

After all, this drug is indeed a bit unorthodox in our view in this era.

"Yang Ning, why did you think of studying this thing?" After returning home in the evening, Yang Ning told Hu Yinghong about his desire to study the little blue pill.

Of course, studying the little blue pill requires the help of a doctor.

The first person Yang Ning thought of was naturally his wife Hu Yinghong.

But after hearing Yang Ning's idea, Hu Yinghong blushed at first, then glanced at Yang Ning in confusion. She had seen him working hard on herself these past few days, so why did he suddenly think of doing this?

Yang Ning felt a little embarrassed by Hu Yinghong's look. Afraid that she would continue to think nonsense, he had to tell her about what Dean Guo had come to see him about.

After listening to Yang Ning's explanation, Hu Yinghong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that she had squeezed Yang Ning too hard and made him a little overwhelmed.

The main ingredient of the little blue pill is sildenafil citrate, which is very simple to make. If it weren't for the strict patent protection of the Eagle Sauce in later generations, Pfizer would not have made so much money.

Yang Ning used his free time after get off work and together with Hu Yinghong, it took only less than a week to produce the finished product.

Looking at the small blue pill in his hand, Yang Ning felt a great sense of accomplishment, and he was already imagining huge amounts of foreign exchange flowing into us.

"Does this count as saving half of the world's human population?"

Taking the prepared medicine, Yang Ning went directly to find Dean Guo. It would be better to leave matters such as clinical trials and reviews to him.

Anyway, he has a wide network of contacts, and he is also thick-skinned.

Well, he is just thick-skinned. Even though he was scolded so harshly by Mr. Tree Man before, he just continued to carry on as if nothing had happened.

After listening to Yang Ning's introduction of the effects and market prospects of the little blue pill, Dean Guo looked skeptical: "Is this thing so useful? Can it also earn foreign exchange?"

"Of course!" Yang Ning nodded confidently.

It's funny. If this thing didn't make money, the United States and Pfizer wouldn't protect its patent so strictly and would punish anyone who touched it.

"Hiss!" Dean Guo looked at the bottle of medicine for a while, and an eager expression appeared on his face.

After all, he is now in his sixties and has been unable to do things for a long time.

If the effect of this medicine is really as Yang Ning said, then he doesn't mind trying it in advance.

Seeing his expression, Yang Ning quickly dispelled his dangerous thoughts: "President Guo, please be careful. This medicine has just been developed, please don't do anything rash."

"It hasn't gone through actual clinical trials yet, so no one knows if this drug has any side effects."

"Yeah, I know." After hearing what Yang Ning said, Dean Guo put away his eager thoughts and said with a look of regret.

"No, since you knew, then what's that expression on your face?" Yang Ning complained in his heart.

He then warned: "If this drug passes the test, some confidentiality measures need to be taken before it goes on the market, so as not to allow Western companies to apply for patents."

"I will talk to my higher-ups about this. If it doesn't work, I'll let those old Chinese doctors take action. With their skills, they will definitely make it impossible for those Western scientists to find the original formula." Well, Yang Ning believed this. With our Chinese medicine skills, just adding something in it will make Westerners confused.

Even in later generations, our traditional Chinese medicine is still regarded as witchcraft by them.

What is witchcraft? It is something that they cannot explain with their own Western science.

The methods used by today's old Chinese doctors can definitely confuse foreigners.

"By the way, it would be better to give this medicine a better name and put more effort into the packaging, so as to attract the attention of those big Western customers." Yang Ning said enthusiastically.

"In this way, won't our costs go up?" Dean Guo asked with some confusion.

"We can raise the price if the cost goes up!" Yang Ning will never show mercy when it comes to cheating foreigners.

"We can divide this medicine into two grades. The high-end one will have a better taste and more exquisite packaging."

"We can use all kinds of silk and porcelain, put a royal label on it, and raise the price to dozens or even hundreds of times that of the ordinary version. Those wealthy foreigners will definitely pay for it."

"After all, they buy things for the sake of face. If we give them and others a price, they may not be happy with it."

"As for low-end products, as long as we take good confidentiality measures and ensure the quality of the drugs, we can save money in any way we can. This will not affect our sales."

"Fuck, you are such a wicked man. It's a shame that you don't become a capitalist!"

Dean Guo had never seen this kind of method before. It was a very common sales method in later generations, and he was stunned.

"That drug doesn't need to be patented, right?" Dean Guo asked worriedly.

Ever since he told his superiors about Yang Ning's suggestion last time, they also paid attention to the issue of Western patents.

Although in our view, patents are a means of exploitation by capitalists, it is no big deal if we can use them to solve our difficulties.

Our policies are still very flexible. As long as they are beneficial to us, we don't mind using them.

But this matter cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, so President Guo is worried that if this drug needs to be patented, it will take some time to wait, which will not solve our current problem!

"As long as we keep it confidential and prevent them from copying it, we don't need to apply for a patent. After all, applying for a technical patent requires the technology to be made public, which is not cost-effective."

"That's good. I'll report this to my superiors right away." Dean Guo said happily after hearing Yang Ning's words.

Then he looked at Yang Ning and teased, "Are you also overwhelmed? Otherwise, why would you think of doing this?"

"Who are you looking down on? I'm very strong!" Yang Ning retorted with an unhappy look after hearing his words.

"Okay, I guess I said something wrong." Dean Guo's expression of "I believe you" made Yang Ning even more depressed.

This can't be explained!
Then Dean Guo asked seriously: "According to your estimate, how much foreign exchange can this drug earn us?"

Yang Ning thought for a while and said casually: "I dare not say how much more, but the foreign exchange earned every year is enough for you to build a few more universities!"

"I'll do it right away!"

After hearing Yang Ning's answer, Dean Guo stood up hurriedly and left without even bothering to greet Yang Ning.
