Chapter 326: Creating Friends Out of Nothing and Breakthroughs in Health Products
Chinese Medical Research Institute.
Early in the morning.
Wang Mengde had just sat down in his office when Qian Dayong and Zhu Tao walked in curiously.
"Director, we are not disturbing you."
Qian Dayong said with a smile.
After saying that, he familiarly took out a bag of tea from the drawer of the cabinet next to him, and then made a cup of tea for each of the three people.
He and Wang Mengde have been in a relationship for more than ten years.
Although the other party became the director of internal medicine and had become a leader in the research institute.
But when there are no outsiders around, he is more relaxed.
"Haha, don't bother me, just sit down."
Wang Mengde also smiled and said, "I haven't seen you two for a few days. What have you been busy with recently?"
Even though he is in a high position, he still cherishes the friendship between him and the two people in front of him.
"Taozi and I have been seeing patients at Guang'anmen Hospital. Wei Ming told me that you have been busy lately, so I didn't come to disturb you."
Qian Dayong placed a cup of brewed tea in an enamel pot in front of him and explained.
A few days ago, he and Zhu Tao wanted to talk to Wang Mengde, but when they arrived at the office, there was no one in the room.
Once I met Wei Ming, I asked him out of curiosity.
"Yes, I received people from the World Health Organization a few days ago, and then went to the Beijing Gene Research Institute. I also have to go to the new intensive care unit to treat foreign patients. I am almost out of time to sit for consultations."
Wang Mengde picked up the enamel pot, shook his head and said.
What he talked about were all relatively important matters. Some of the work in the department was usually handled with the help of Mr. Pu.
There is also Guang'anmen Hospital that provides a back-up for other doctors, various meetings, consultations with other hospitals, health care for leaders, etc.
This resulted in him being a little overwhelmed during this period of time.
Fortunately, he is in good health and has very good sleep quality. No matter how tired he is, he can fully recover as long as he sleeps for more than five hours.
The few people chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Qian Dayong quickly winked at Zhu Tao, indicating that it was time to get down to business.
Wang Mengde saw this scene clearly, and he knew that these two people came here for more than just a chat, they definitely had something important to do.
really.
Zhu Tao then said:
"Director, I have something to ask you.
Recently, the country is preparing to recruit a group of doctors to go to Africa to serve as teachers. Their main task is to train qualified "barefoot doctors" for the local area.
The teaching material is the African version of the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", and at the same time, he also provides medical treatment to local residents.
The research institute sent out a notice yesterday, and I plan to sign up. It’s only a year anyway, so I can get through it if I just bear with it.
After I come back, the government and my company will definitely say something, and I can move into a two-bedroom apartment at the company a few years earlier.”
His family has many people and they used to rent a house. After the company allocated a house to them, the family of seven squeezed into a one-bedroom apartment.
Thanks to the fact that the house built by the Chinese Medical Research Institute has a relatively large indoor area compared to the tube-shaped building, we can just sleep on the floor in the living room and install a bunk bed in the bedroom, and we can still squeeze in.
But it is somewhat inconvenient in life.
Especially as the children in the family grew up, he and his wife felt a little awkward when they were making love at night.
In particular, there was one time when the second child woke up in the middle of the night because he had to pee urgently. When he saw what they were doing, he cried and shouted that his parents were fighting.
Then Zhu Tao's parents knocked on the door frantically.
Although he was fooled in the end, he still felt uncomfortable when he thought about it.
It just so happened that the institute posted an announcement this time, preparing to select a few people to respond to the call of the country and go to Africa to provide support.
According to past practice, anyone who participates in a foreign aid project will receive a promotion subsidy upon returning.
It would be even safer if you could make some achievements.
Seven or eight years ago, he followed Wang Mengde to Guangxi Province to participate in the prevention and control of schistosomiasis. Because he found a treatment prescription, he was promoted three levels after returning.
That opportunity made others envious.
So, he prepared to try again, relying on his solid medical skills, he might have a chance to make a contribution.
When I come back and upgrade one or two levels, I can move from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom house.
"You want to go to Africa to provide support, but the situation there is not peaceful, and life there is much more difficult than in China. Most people cannot adapt to the climate and living habits."
Wang Mengde said with some hesitation.
He had long anticipated that the country was preparing to support Africa in establishing a medical and health care system.
Thomas discussed this issue with WHO personnel during their visit to China.
The other party particularly recognized the models of barefoot doctors, rural three-level medical and health system and rural cooperative medical care, and was determined to find a small country in Africa and build a model medical country.
To achieve this goal, first of all, we need a large number of doctors.
Even if you only know some simple ways to treat common diseases, that would be enough.
But that place in Africa is not discriminatory on the part of Wang Mengde, it is just like a desert area.
It is not easy to accomplish this. Not only does it require external assistance, it also requires a lot of time, as well as a certain amount of patience and means.
Thomas has worked in Africa for a long time, so he naturally knows this situation.
As for external assistance, he looked at the book "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and without thinking, he decided that it had to come from China.
So, Thomas returned to the headquarters and reported what he had seen, heard and thought to the leaders of WHO.
After some negotiation, the leaders finally agreed to his plan.
Within a few days, China received an application for aid.
"Director, I am not afraid of hardship. I almost starved to death before liberation."
Zhu Tao said with a firm face:
"I just want to ask you what we should pay attention to when we go there."
In order to realize his dream of owning a two-bedroom apartment, he decided to fight for it.
Seeing that he was so determined, Wang Mengde stopped trying to persuade him. After all, everyone has their own ideas and growth experiences, and it is best for others not to interfere.
Moreover, everyone has his or her own destiny. If you interfere forcefully, you will suffer certain consequences. He is not going to sacrifice himself for others.
Thinking of this, he calmed himself down and told him in detail what he had learned in his previous life and what he learned from the space about what to pay attention to in Africa.
Seeing that everything he said made sense, Zhu Tao quickly took out a pen and paper and started taking notes carefully.
In this era, most Chinese people are completely clueless about the situation in foreign countries. There is no Internet to search, and there are not many relevant books.
Therefore, many specific situations abroad are passed on by word of mouth.
Many experiences are very valuable.
Wang Mengde talked for about an hour and stopped only after drinking two glasses of water.
“That’s about all I know. A lot of it is hearsay. The country will also tell you the specific precautions in Africa.
When the time comes, the two will be combined, and you will only be there to provide support for a year, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”
After thinking for a while, he added: "You must be careful over there and watch your crotch."
AIDS was spread from there. Although AIDS has not appeared yet, there must be many other diseases.
Zhu Tao is young and energetic, and he has a full year to make sure he doesn't make any mistakes. "Director, don't worry, I will definitely not violate discipline."
Zhu Tao said with a red face.
Next to him, Qian Dayong rolled his eyes and said quickly:
"The director is right, Taozi, you must not make a mistake. Eat more before you leave. If you are not able to do so, ask the director to get you some 'Palace Emperor Pills'."
This month, the hottest topic in China, apart from the young people, is the hot sales of "Palace Emperor Pills" in China.
It only took half a month for the drug to go from being on the shelves in major hospitals and pharmacies with no one interested in it to being sold out as soon as it was put into stock.
Seeing how popular the tickets were, the government printed a batch of tickets and imposed purchase restrictions.
The prices on the black market have been driven up to sky-high levels, and even then there is still no supply.
Many people, when they are unable to buy it, start to use their connections to get it.
The first to be affected is Dean Lu, since he was previously in charge of the pharmaceutical factory under the institute.
All the old friends, old comrades-in-arms, and even some distant relatives started calling him.
Everyone has only one request, more 'Palace Emperor Pills'.
Even Wang Mengde was harassed by many people.
There is no way. This medicine was previously used for export to earn foreign exchange. Only a few people in the country can use it, and most people have never even heard of this name.
Now that I have let go, I will fall in love with this medicine after using it once.
No one wants to go from being full to being half full or even hungry.
"Why, Guang'anmen Hospital can't get the 'Palace Emperor Pills'?"
Wang Mengde said with a smile.
"Well, the 'Palace Emperor Pills' are selling so well right now that Director Lu has issued a strict order that internal staff cannot take medicine from the hospital warehouse without permission.
So, even Taozi couldn't buy it if he wanted to. Director, I remember you should have some stock there."
Qian Dayong explained beside him.
At the same time, a look of desire appeared in his eyes.
"Well, I have some here, Taozi, how many bottles do you want?"
Wang Mengde nodded.
He still has a lot of them stored in his space. Apart from giving them away to some friends and relatives, he doesn't use them himself, so it would be a waste to keep them.
If Zhu Tao needed it, he wouldn't mind giving him a few bottles as a favor.
"Director, five bottles are enough for me. The country is supporting Africa this time and time is tight. If I order more, we won't be able to use them all and it will be a waste."
Zhu Tao said with a grateful look on his face.
"No problem, I'll give it to you now."
Wang Mengde said this, and directly opened the drawer on the right hand side, pretending to take out a dozen bottles of "Palace Emperor Pills" from it, and then handed five bottles to Zhu Tao.
As for the rest, he did not put it back, but looked at Qian Dayong with a smile.
Without staring, Qian Dayong said with a guilty conscience:
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty or something on my face?"
"There are no flowers or dirt, only a pair of eager eyes. Tell me how much you want."
Wang Mengde said with a smile.
He was holding a small medicine bottle in his hand, tossing it up and down.
"Hey, I don't need it. Look at my body. It's so strong."
Qian Dayong said this, curling his arms, and then continued: "But a very good friend of mine needs it, so the more the better."
He was a little embarrassed and started to make friends out of nothing.
"Okay, these are all yours."
Wang Mengde did not try to expose him and simply gave him the remaining seven or eight bottles.
After Qian Dayong and Zhu Tao left, Wang Mengde also stood up and walked towards the dean's office.
In February and March of this year, hundreds of graduate students were recruited from major Chinese medicine colleges and training courses.
When school starts in September, you will need some teaching materials.
He has been using his spare time to write textbooks since last year, and now it is almost finished, so he would like to give it to President Lu for review.
"You are quite efficient. You are so busy on weekdays, but you still find time to write several textbooks."
Dean Lu looked at the teaching materials he handed over and praised them happily.
He had originally planned to ask about the progress in a few days. If Wang Mengde was having difficulty, he would ask some people in the research institute to assist him.
"Dean, I knew that school was about to start, and I urgently needed to finalize the teaching materials, so I worked overtime at home at night."
Wang Mengde said with a smile.
"Well, work is important, but health is more important. You should pay more attention to your health and take a rest when you are tired.
There is always work to do. Only by taking good care of your body can you do a better job as a GM."
Dean Lu said with concern:
"By the way, several of your students did not take the postgraduate entrance examination this time.
In fact, based on his academic performance, as long as he takes the exam, he has a high chance of being admitted to graduate school.
So, after discussing with several other leaders and consulting our superiors, we decided to allow several of your students to become graduate students.
Of course, they will still study with you, it’s just that they have an additional student status, there will be no other impact.”
Wei Ming and several others have been studying with Wang Mengde for two years.
These people are extremely smart, and with the guidance of famous teachers, they have made great progress, which can be said to be rapid progress.
President Lu also noticed this and felt that these people would definitely become the pillars of traditional Chinese medicine in the future.
At the same time, he also realized the importance of future academic qualifications, which might determine the height of a person's growth, so he came up with this idea and directly changed the academic status of several people to graduate students.
As long as a few years pass by and you become Wang Mengde's disciple, you can immediately obtain a master's degree, or even a doctoral degree.
"Thank you, Dean."
Wang Mengde said with gratitude.
He knew that this was a benefit that Dean Lu had specifically applied for him.
In the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he is not the only one who has students. Many other famous Chinese medicine masters and experts also have new disciples.
If these people want a postgraduate degree, they probably have no choice but to take the exam.
After returning to the office and telling Wei Ming and others the news, they cheered.
Seeing their happy expressions, Wang Mengde was also infected and his mood became very cheerful.
At this moment, another piece of even more gratifying news came.
The health products research team finally made a breakthrough.
According to a staff member from the team who came to report the news, during the experiment just now, an element extracted from a Chinese herbal medicine had very special effects.
