Chapter 285: Replacing the old with the new and the Pharmaceutical Trust
"Meng De, are you free next weekend?

Yushui has a date, and they are going to get engaged next weekend. You can come and keep them company then."

Sha Zhu said with a smile.

For more than ten years, he and his sister have been dependent on each other.

Now she is finally getting married, which makes him reluctant but also relieved.

And the situation is different from that in the original drama.

In the original drama, he himself was still an old bachelor in his thirties and had not found a wife.

Therefore, no one cared much about making a grand ceremony for He Yushui's wedding. Just like an ordinary family, she just went through a simple formality and was considered getting married.

Things are different now. Not only did he find a wife and get married a few years ago, he also had a big fat boy.

In addition, with Yu Li's encouragement and reassurance from time to time, Yi Zhonghai and his wife also put their full attention on him.

By the way, he also treated Yu Shui as his own daughter. When her boyfriend came to his house to make a commitment, he naturally prepared to do everything he could to let Sha Zhu see their sincerity.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai also asked Sha Zhu to find Wang Mengde, and when the man's family came to "make a commitment", they would come to accompany him.

Once he is present, the man's family will definitely look upon her with a higher regard, and He Yushui will not be easily bullied at her husband's house in the future.

"Has Yu Shui found a date? What does the guy do for a living?"

After hearing this, Wang Mengde asked curiously.

At the same time, he felt a little emotional. When he first traveled through time ten years ago, He Yushui was still a yellow-haired girl of eleven or twelve years old.

At that time, every time I met him, I was too shy to make direct eye contact.

Time flies, and now everyone is looking for a partner and will get married soon.

"That boy is a police officer on our street. This job is ordinary, busy and dangerous every day, and there is no pay.

I originally wanted to introduce her to a fellow student who worked at Hongbin Building, but she didn't want to, so she fell in love with the local police officer."

When talking about Yu Shui's boyfriend, Sha Zhu felt a little depressed.

Even though the status of police officers is high in later generations, in this era, people are still willing to date cooks. After all, chefs have high pay and you basically won't go hungry after marrying them.

What's more, local police officers go out in the wind and rain every day, their salaries are not high, and they have to guard against spies and maintain public order, which is very dangerous.

“Being a police officer is not bad either, it’s a good and decent job.

As long as Yu Shui likes the boy and he has good character, you, as his brother, should stop worrying about it.

Besides, even if the family is in trouble after the rain, it won’t be too bad with a brother like you to help.”

Wang Mengde persuaded with a smile.

He vaguely remembered that in the original drama, He Yushui seemed to have married a local police officer in the end, and her married life should have been pretty good.

"Well, Meng De, what you said is very right. Ever since my father ran away with the White Widow, Yu Shui and I are the only ones left at home to depend on each other.

Whether it is an accident or in the future, I will take good care of her and not let her suffer any injustice."

Sha Zhu perked up and said, "By the way, remember to set aside some free time next weekend."

"Okay, if there are no special circumstances at work, I will definitely go."

Wang Mengde agreed with a smile.

Even if he didn't give face to Sha Zhu, he had to give face to He Yushui.

When He Shengnan first married into the courtyard, she was not familiar with the other people, but she often came over to chat and keep them company.

The relationship between the two is as good as that of real sisters.

When he returned home, he told He Shengnan about this matter.

"Yu Shui is old enough to find a partner and get married. Time flies.

I still remember that when she first came to the hospital, she was only twelve years old, thin and small, and spoke softly. "

He Shengnan expressed the same emotion after hearing this.

"Yes, time flies by fast. I will be thirty next year. I will be old soon."

Wang Mengde teased her deliberately.

Although he is thirty years old, due to years of martial arts training and the system he possesses, he looks only about twenty-five years old.

And his face is not the kind of baby face that makes you look young, it's just that he's aging slowly.

"Don't be funny, let's talk about serious things. Yu Shui is getting married, and I really don't want to let her go."

He Shengnan rolled her eyes at him and said with some sadness.

As the first friends who came to this courtyard, the two of them got along very well. Even though they were several years apart in age, it did not prevent them from becoming best friends.

When the two of them are resting, they often go shopping and do housework together.

Moreover, ever since He Yushui started working at the Qinghe Woolen Factory, they had been going to and from get off work together every day, and their relationship had long gone beyond that of ordinary friends.

"Hey, don't be sad, I've asked, her husband's family is not far from here, we can see each other often even after we get married.

Besides, you two are in the same unit, or even the same group, so it won’t have any impact at all.”

Wang Mengde persuaded.

"Yes."

After thinking about it, He Shengnan felt that what he said made sense, and her mood improved. Then she began to think about what gift to give to this good friend.

"Yu Shui is getting married. What should I give her as a gift?"

"Give me some practical daily necessities. We have so many industrial coupons at home, it doesn't matter if we spend two more.

According to my estimation, Yu Shui will probably get married in the second half of next year. It’s still early, don’t rush, you can take your time to choose. ”

"Well, I'll take my time choosing.

By the way, Mengde, our family has saved up more than a hundred industrial coupons, and we receive more than ten every month. Do you think there is anything you want to buy at home?

If you don’t spend it, it’s not a big deal to have so much money at home. It would be a pity if it was lost or eaten by rats.”

He Shengnan said with some worry.

When industrial coupons were issued, in order to facilitate purchasing, they had different denominations such as 1, 0.1, 0.5, etc., and there was no specified expiration date.

It would be great if an ordinary family could get two or three coupons a month, because industrial coupons were required to buy industrial products, so usually only a few could be saved in a year.

This is the result of frugality. If the purchase of essential industrial products was allowed, most families would not have enough.

However, there are not many families in special circumstances like Wang Mengde's, who are worried about not being able to use up all the money.

“It’s not easy. The sewing machine in our home was a prize given by my unit several years ago.

Although it is well maintained, the hand-cranked sewing machine is not very convenient. Let’s buy a foot-operated sewing machine.”

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

He had actually proposed this matter a long time ago, but was jointly rejected by He Shengnan and Ran Xiaomei.

They said that although this sewing machine is a hand-cranked one, it has only been used for a few years, and based on its current quality, it can be used for another 20 years without any problems.

"Then we only have two sewing machines at home, so we can't use them all, right?"

At this time, He Shengnan was somewhat tempted, but she still had concerns. Many families didn't even have a sewing machine, so it would be unreasonable for them to buy another one.

Not to mention the neighbors, even people on the street will pay attention to this matter.

In this day and age, the country will never encourage such waste.

"Haha, I heard from mom that she's planning to find a partner for Shengwu next year, and when he reaches the age in the spring of the year after, they'll get married right away.

I just happened to give him the old sewing machine as a wedding gift, so I'll give it to them in advance."

Wang Mengde said.

When He Shengwen got married, they gave him dozens of industrial coupons, which he used to buy a bicycle. They said it was a loan, but in fact they never thought of asking them to pay it back.

Now I’ll give you a sewing machine as a gift, which is both practical and complementary. Even though it has only been used for a few years, it can still be used for at least another 20 to 30 years because it is carefully maintained.

The He family would definitely not dislike it, and they would even be very happy.

Large items like sewing machines are rare items. Without tickets or industrial coupons, you can’t buy them even if you have money.

"What do our parents say?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

He Shengnan said with some entanglement.

She doesn't have the nerve to go to her mother's house every now and then to steal things.

"Don't worry, I'll tell them about this, they won't have any objections."

Wang Mengde comforted.

Things turned out just as he guessed. When he was having breakfast, he just mentioned it at the table, and Ran Xiaomei couldn't wait to say:
"Meng De, this weekend, go to the mall and find your friend to buy a new sewing machine, and give the old one to your in-laws.

The weather is getting cold, and they will definitely need to use the sewing machine to make clothes, which is exactly what they need.”

weekend.

In the morning, Wang Mengde took He Shengnan and the children, Zhao Xiaotao and Li Qingning to visit Wangfujing, and they had lunch together.

It was not until the afternoon that I financed a rickshaw and bought a brand new pedal-operated sewing machine.

When it was carried into the yard, it caused a sensation.

"Doesn't the Wang family already have a sewing machine? Why buy another one? Can it be used?"

Mrs. Wang stretched her neck, stared at the shining sewing machine, and said with envy on her face.

"Yes, I remember that was a prize Wang Mengde won at work, and it didn't cost any money."

The second aunt also stood on tiptoe and spoke intently.

"Oh, it's good to have industrial coupons. I can buy whatever I want."

"That's right. We only have three or four in our hospital. My family wants to buy one, but unfortunately we are still short of more than twenty industrial coupons. I don't know if we can borrow some to buy one next year."

The neighbors in the yard gathered in groups of three or four and talked about it.

At this time.

He Guangyao came over excitedly with his two sons, and there were some tools on the back seat of their bicycle.

In the morning, Wang Yuanchao and his brother rode their bicycles over and told him to come and deliver the sewing machine in the afternoon.

When they arrived at the house, they exchanged a few pleasantries. Since He Guangyao was already there, they stopped being polite.

However, he did not immediately mount the sewing machine on his bicycle and take it away. Instead, he started working with the He Shengwen brother - pasting windows and enameling stoves.

At this time, people in the capital believed that "build the dam before the water comes", so they would prepare for winter in advance.

At the end of autumn, the old window paper would be torn off and new Goryeo paper would be pasted on to block the wind.

The furnace also had to be repaired. The refractory material of the old furnace had to be knocked out and compacted with green ash. It also had to be made into a shape that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom so that it would be easier to burn in winter.

In previous years, this job was done by Wang Mengde, but he was too busy recently and didn't have time to do it.

Unexpectedly, my father-in-law was very attentive and noticed this situation. He simply took his two sons to help.

a few days later.

The weather is getting cold.

Fires began to burn in everyone's office.

Wang Mengde did not go to Guang'anmen Hospital for consultation today, nor did he go to school to teach. Instead, he sat in the office, made a cup of tea and read the newspaper.

Suddenly, he saw a piece of news in the newspaper and immediately became interested.

The news in the newspaper titled "Report on Opinions on the Trial Establishment of Industrial and Transportation Trusts" made him a little dazed.

Unexpectedly, the country actually thought about establishing a trust in the 1950s and 1960s.

Although he had never heard of such a thing in later generations, nor had he seen any pharmaceutical-related trust companies, it did not hinder his excitement.

He didn’t succeed before because he didn’t travel through time. Now that he is here, he naturally won’t let go of this opportunity.

Moreover, the trusts in transportation and certain other industries were still alive and well when he traveled through time, so there is no reason why there cannot be a trust in the pharmaceutical industry.

In fact, what he didn’t know was that in later generations, 1958-1965 was called the second stage of China’s pharmaceutical industry, which was a period of development and adjustment of the pharmaceutical industry.

In order to break out of the industrial expansion and contraction cycle and fundamentally solve the problem of "dispersion", the country began to discuss the issue of trial operation of "trusts" in the 60s and prepared to make an economic reform attempt.

But because we happened to be going through difficult times, the matter was left unresolved.

Three years later, the national economy began to improve and attempts to run a trust gradually began.

The news that Wang Mengde saw was already old news. As early as August this year, the state agreed and approved the trial operation of "trust" in principle.

The first batch of trusts in 12 industries including medicine and transportation have been determined.

After reading the news, Wang Mengde took the newspaper and walked towards President Lu's office with great interest.

When he arrived, Dean Lu was there. When he saw him coming, he put down the documents in his hand, and without asking why he came, he smiled and said:

"Comrade Wang Mengde, you have been working hard recently. Sit down and take a break. Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."

Then he motioned to his secretary to pour him a cup of hot tea.

After the secretary left, the two drank tea and chatted for a while, and then Wang Mengde told them the purpose of his visit:
"Dean, this is a good opportunity.

We must seize this opportunity. Once the pharmaceutical trust is formed, traditional Chinese medicine will also benefit, and it will be of great help to the future international competitiveness of Chinese medicine.

In the future, perhaps more and more Chinese medicines will go abroad and impact the global market.

By then, the foreign exchange income from medicine will be much greater than it is now, even ten or a hundred times greater.”

He is not exaggerating, but speaking the truth.

The domestic pharmaceutical market may have to wait until the 1990s before it could expand rapidly, but the situation abroad is different; it has already matured.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Dean Lu didn't care much at first, but after Wang Mengde finished speaking, he became a little restless.

Now, thanks to the sale of several popular drugs, the foreign exchange income obtained is already very considerable. If it could be ten times more, I can’t imagine it.

"Dean, what I said is absolutely true."

"Okay, in that case, I'll take you to see the superiors now."
