Chapter 184 The Jia Family's Thunderbolt and Idea
Regarding the idea of ​​using drugs to pay off debts.

Chekovsky thought it was a great idea.

In this way, China has no reason not to provide large quantities of medicines.

He also solved the problem by the way, there would be no shortage of medicine in the country, and his career would be saved, and he could even be promoted several levels.

However, once the national level is contacted, it will be impossible for him to control the drug supply channels.

Naturally, you won’t be able to make any money from the price difference.

Fortunately, he has made a lot of money recently, and he also predicted that soon someone would be unable to resist picking peaches.

It is better to hand over the channel now than to be forced to do so later.

However, he was a little puzzled as to why Lisabova asked him to extend the time of paying off the debt with drugs and make it as long-term as possible.

Lisabova did not tell the reason immediately. Instead, she came to the table with a sweet smile, opened the drawer, took out a small medicine bottle, poured out ten pills, and put them in front of him.

Chekovsky recognized it immediately. This was the "Palace Emperor Maru" that had recently become popular in his own country.

It is said to be a secret recipe of the ancient Chinese palace, an imperial medicine exclusively for the emperor.

It was lost for various reasons for a time, but was later reproduced by a well-known Chinese medicine doctor from the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine based on the descriptions in some materials.

He was skeptical about this statement.

But I really like the efficacy of this pill.

Knowing what his lover meant, Chekovsky obediently took the pill, picked up the glass of water on the table, and swallowed it.

After eating, he reached out and pulled her over, letting her sit on his lap, and asked with a smile:

"Now you can tell me, dear."

Seeing him take the medicine, Lisabova felt excited. She knew that it would take about half an hour for the medicine to take effect, so she patiently put her arms around Chekovsky's neck and whispered in his ear, explaining:

"My dear, I heard that many countries are scrambling for this medicine.

As a man, you definitely know the benefits of this medicine. Even a woman like me likes it very much.

I believe that as more and more people understand its efficacy, its value will become greater and it will become more sought-after.

If you can get China to sign a long-term drug-for-debt agreement with us, then we won’t have to worry about running out of drugs due to fierce competition.”

As soon as Lisabova finished speaking, Chekovsky picked her up with excitement and walked straight into the bedroom.

As he walked, he said happily, “Honey, you are so right.

That's true. I've learned that their production this year is almost reaching its limit. Due to raw material issues, the production won't increase much each year.

If we don't act in advance, we may not be able to buy the medicine later because of the price issue.

Now that I have your reminder, this problem will not occur. As a reward for your good idea, I will reward you well. "

Having said that, he threw her roughly onto the bed.

Then he sat on the edge of the bed, took out a cigar from the bedside table, leaned on the pillow, smoked, and waited for the medicine to take effect.

A week later.

After some back and forth communication and discussion within Big Brother.

In the end, as expected, Chekovsky's idea of ​​using drugs to pay off debts was unanimously approved.

He has full authority to handle the matter.

This time, Chekovsky was confident.

Because the trump card in his hand is something China cannot refuse.

When Wang Mengde saw the tall Russian man with severe dark circles under his eyes proposing to pay off the debt with medicine in fluent Chinese.

I was almost shocked.

This is truly a genius idea, especially the strong requirement to divide the debt into twenty years, not even a year less.

If you don’t know, you would think that the one who owes the debt now is the boss.

Of course, President Lu and his superiors were also aware of each other's intentions.

This is to make China provide them with a large amount of "Palace Emperor Pills" every year.

In terms of price, we also require it to be cheaper than that sold to other countries.

Everyone involved in the negotiations was angry about Chekovsky's strong attitude.

But on second thought, this is also a good thing.

Anyway, exporting to European and American countries is the same as exporting to the north.

Moreover, this can also ease the pressure of repaying debts.

Finally, we don’t have to tighten our belts and use agricultural products to pay off debts.

Wang Mengde did not participate in the subsequent negotiations. For such matters, it didn’t matter whether he was there or not.

Besides, he has more important things to do in the near future and is preparing to start research on the treatment of malaria.

In the past, artemisinin, a specific drug for treating malaria, was considered a Western medicine.

This time, he planned to try whether he could solve the disease with pure Chinese medicine.

This is a huge challenge.

Fortunately, I know about the plant Artemisia annua, so I don’t have to blindly screen again from among the many plants.

It can save him a lot of time and energy in his research.

Sunday, late July.

This afternoon.

The sun is desperately radiating heat.

The room was like a steamer, and no one could stay in it.

So, Wang Mengde and He Shengnan brought a few children to the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley to enjoy the cool air.

Many neighbors gathered under several big trees.

At this time, the flowering period of the locust flowers has long passed, leaving only lush branches and leaves blocking the sunlight.

"Doctor Wang is here."

Seeing their family coming, many neighbors stood up with smiles and greeted them enthusiastically.

There were also a few people who quickly moved their own mats aside to leave the good seats for them.

In the crowd, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang were also sitting on a rock with Banggeng and Xiaodang. When they saw him, they gave him a stiff smile.

As for Qin Huairu, she was queuing in front of a restaurant on Di'anmen Street.

When it's time for dinner, the whole family will go to the restaurant to have dinner.

Wang Mengde greeted everyone and said thank you without any hesitation. He spread out the mat and let the children sit on it and play.

Then he turned around and chatted with everyone.

He basically knew all of these people, and most of them had seen him for medical treatment.

Every time, the medicine works and the disease is cured, and some patients don’t even need to take medicine.

So, everyone respects him.

After chatting for a while and watching a few games of chess, the sun gradually set and the children were tired from playing and were sleeping soundly on the mats.

He Shengnan also subconsciously waved a palm-leaf fan slowly with one hand and dozed off while sitting nearby.

Just then, a bicycle came from the north to the south, from the direction of Di'anmen Street.

Soon, the bicycle stopped at the entrance of the alley. Liu Haizhong wiped the sweat from his head, put the bicycle aside, and quickly came under the big tree.

"Lao Liu, where have you been in such a bright sun?"

Lao Fan from the next yard looked up and saw that Liu Haizhong was almost wet, so he asked curiously.

It was so hot, no one wanted to run around outside unless it was something important. "Hey, Sister Cao from the neighborhood committee went to the courtyard early this morning to inform us that the head of each courtyard had to go to the neighborhood committee for a meeting this afternoon.

It took more than an hour to finish the journey, and they were still walking behind. I borrowed Xu Damao's bicycle and came back first."

Although Liu Haizhong was so hot that his mouth was dry and his whole body was sweating, he still said it with some pride.

He even spoke loudly on purpose to attract everyone's attention.

Now, he has no hope of becoming an official in the steel rolling mill, but the title of "big uncle" in the yard can satisfy his desire.

"Lao Liu, are there any new policies? Tell us about them quickly."

Sure enough, his words attracted some attention. Another familiar person stopped playing chess and asked curiously.

Although many people around did not speak, they all focused their eyes on Liu Haizhong.

"As for policy, there really is one."

Seeing someone supporting him, Liu Haizhong showed a satisfied look on his face, and then continued:

"Starting from July 7, all restaurants and eateries in the capital, except for 30 well-known ones, will implement the system of collecting food coupons for dining."

Since the end of last year, cities large and small across the country have gradually implemented the policy of collecting food coupons for dining.

Only the capital city is left, which, as the capital, has unique "political advantages".

All regions, provinces and cities across the country put the overall situation first and support the capital with all their strength.

This made Beijing the only city in the country where food coupons were not required for dining in restaurants.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

This loophole was discovered by some residents of surrounding provinces, cities and the city itself. They flocked to restaurants of all sizes and lined up in front of the restaurants day and night.

This scene has attracted great attention.

Not only did it cause chaos, but it also led to a large consumption of grain and oil.

Therefore, after reporting, the city of Jingcheng announced that it would be officially implemented on July 7 this year, and that food coupons would be required for dining in restaurants.

"What? Do we need food stamps to eat at restaurants in the future?"

Liu Haizhong's words made some people's faces change drastically and they jumped up instantly.

Among them, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi had the ugliest expressions, and they also jumped the highest.

Jia Dongxu looked ashen. After the dance, Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment before she recovered. Then she sat down on the ground and started crying.

At the same time, he was shouting "I don't want to live anymore" and other words.

The policy proposed by Liu Haizhong was like a bolt from the blue for the Jia family.

What if I can’t go to the restaurant to eat in the future?

The Jia family could no longer survive.

In their family, only Jia Dongxu had a ration, which was about 30 kilograms of grain, 3 taels of cooking oil, and 2 taels of vegetables per day.

In the past, they could eat out in restaurants. With the 42 yuan a month from Jia Dongxu and the help from Yi Zhonghai, they could barely get by even though life was tight.

Now suddenly I can’t go out to eat in a restaurant, it’s really life-threatening.

There are five people in the Jia family, including adults and children. This amount of supplies can't even last ten days.

As for transferring with others, forget it.

Now every household has no extra food, and most families don’t even have enough to eat.

Don't even think about going to the black market. A food coupon worth one kilogram of grain costs at least two or three yuan, and the price of one kilogram of grain will definitely not be lower than this.

Even if Yi Zhonghai's entire salary was used to support their family, it would not be enough.

Seeing Jia Zhang crying there, the people around her didn't seem to want to laugh at her. They all felt sympathetic.

Although not as miserable as the Jia family, every household has to eat in restaurants at least once a month.

Now that there is no opportunity to take advantage of others, their lives will become more difficult.

Except for this matter.

No one was in the mood to continue enjoying the cool air here, and it was time for dinner, so everyone dispersed in groups of three or four.

arrive home.

Ran Xiaomei has almost finished cooking.

He Shengnan hurried forward to help.

The dinner table.

When Wang Hao heard about this policy, he took a bite of the steamed bun made of two kinds of flour and said reluctantly:
"The Jia family will be in trouble next month."

"Can anyone blame others for this? I heard from people in the hospital that a few years ago, when the household registration could be moved at will, Qin Huairu proposed to move the household registration of several people to the city.

Or maybe Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu have never paid attention, or have other thoughts. Once the policy changes, it will be difficult to transfer the household registration. "

Ran Xiaomei picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with chopsticks and said in a low voice.

"Alas, these past few years have been really difficult."

Wang Hao frowned and let out a long sigh.

In the hospital where he works, the medical staff are considered to have a decent income, but many of their families run out of food at the end of the month.

Especially since the beginning of this year, colleagues often asked him to borrow food coupons to solve urgent problems.

In their family, both he and his son are considered high-income earners, and they receive several kilograms of high-brain oil subsidies every month, which ensures that the family does not go hungry.

You can even help your hometown and in-laws in the countryside.

In fact, what he didn’t know was that if Wang Mengde hadn’t secretly brought some supplies home.

Let alone helping others, we should be lucky if we can take care of our own family and keep the adults and children from going hungry.

A few days later.

The Jia family was filled with gloom all day long.

Even the atmosphere in the yard was affected, and there was no longer as much laughter as before.

Sha Zhu also had a bitter face every day because the lunch boxes he brought back from the steel rolling mill could not enter his own front door. As soon as he arrived at the middle courtyard, they would be snatched away by Qin Huairu who was washing clothes by the sink.

Every time he wanted to say a few words of refusal, he would be defeated by Qin Huairu's tearful expression, and in the end he could only let go obediently.

This situation went on for a long time, and Sha Zhu couldn't stand it anymore.

It's the weekend again.

He deliberately forced Wang Mengde to go to his house to drink.

At the table, he drank several glasses in a row, then said shyly, looking embarrassed:

"Meng De, you have a lot of ideas. Is there any solution to the Jia family's situation?"

Glancing at him, Wang Mengde picked up his glass and said casually:

"Silly Zhu, why do you care so much about other people's affairs?

Besides, you haven't even taken care of your own family affairs. Yushui told Shengnan the day before yesterday that she was given two kilograms less of food coupons last week. Where did these two kilograms go?"

"Well, Meng De, I just feel sorry for the Jia family. We are all neighbors, so I will help if I can."

Sha Zhu blushed and tried to defend himself.

After saying this, seeing that Wang Mengde was unmoved, he gritted his teeth and said:

"You've always wanted my hot pot recipe, right? Help me come up with an idea and I'll give you a copy of the recipe."

"really?"

"really!"

"Okay, I actually have an idea, but I don't care whether it works or not."
