Chapter 358: Successful Development and I Listened to My Brother-in-law
Beijing Gene Research Institute.

Jiang Xiaosi, Yu Tong and others stood in the deputy director's office with excitement on their faces.

They were all outstanding graduates who had just graduated from school last year and were assigned to the Genetic Research Institute before they even left school.

I still remember that on the first day I started working here, I was led by my seniors to familiarize myself with the environment of the institute and get to know some leaders and other colleagues.

At that time, Wang Mengde did not come because he had other important things to do.

But they had also heard from other comrades that this world-famous medical scientist, who was admired by everyone, was the deputy director of the Beijing Gene Research Institute.

Moreover, although it is a part-time job, I will not come here every day, and may even only come once every few months.

But everyone in the institute, when they heard this name, looked at it with admiration.

Later, after they started working, they gradually learned more inside information.

It turns out that many projects in the institute were led by Wang Mengde, who provided ideas, thoughts and theoretical knowledge.

Even the predecessor of this research institute was the vaccine research team previously led by the other party, which was later upgraded to a genetic research institute.

Up to now, they have been working for almost a year and have met several times in the meantime.

But because he is just a little Karami, I don’t have much contact with him.

Unexpectedly, they were called to the office this time. Jiang Xiaosi, Yu Tong and others were all smart people. They guessed that there might be a work task for them to complete.

So everyone was very excited.

“Director, these comrades all joined the institute last year. They all had excellent grades in school. After coming to the institute, they studied hard, worked steadily, and had a lot of ideas.

Do you think they can help you with the experiment? If not, I will find someone else to come over. "

Beside him, Li Shuwei gave a brief introduction.

"Comrades, please sit down."

Wang Mengde said quickly with a smile, and then after they sat down, he looked at these people carefully.

The young man in front of him, like most people of this era, was thin and had a sallow complexion.

There are some differences, that is, his eyes are very bright and he looks like a scholar.

He nodded involuntarily, and then said:
"Comrades, I asked you to come here today to help. I have a project to research an antibiotic.

Since I am busy on weekdays and cannot do experiments in the laboratory every day, I asked Lao Liu to find you.

How about it? Are you willing to assist me in the next two months? If you have any suggestions, please feel free to ask. If there are other reasons why you cannot participate, I will understand very much. "

Wang Mengde asked these people directly for their opinions.

The next task of studying 'levofloxacin' will be very important.

According to him, the next medical team to aid Africa will depart in June, and there is only more than a month left.

Although he had learned a lot about the ingredients of the drug "Levofloxacin" through space.

However, a lot of experiments are needed to finally determine the specific ingredients and production process.

He needs someone who can devote himself to the experimental work wholeheartedly, rather than someone whose mind is elsewhere and affects the progress of the research.

"Director Wang, we are willing to participate in the research project."

Jiang Xiaosi, Yu Tong and others were all surprised and agreed in unison.

When they first came here, they didn't think they would be able to participate in specific project experiments.

During their nearly one year at the institute, in addition to studying, they also did odd jobs on various projects or sorted out some materials.

During this long period of time, I only participated in auxiliary experimental work a few times.

According to the institute's practice, this situation usually lasts about three years before each person is assigned to a corresponding project based on his or her daily performance and strengths.

Of course, there are exceptions. If someone is particularly capable, that’s a different matter.

There are also talented people in the institute who have participated in important projects just one year after graduation.

But they are obviously not among them. When they were in school, they were often called geniuses by others. But after coming to the research institute, they found that there are geniuses everywhere, and each one is more powerful than the other.

Just when they were studying hard and wanted to catch up, or didn't want to fall too far behind, opportunities came to them quietly.

Director Wang's project actually wanted them to participate in the research project, and he even let them do experiments. It was a blessing from heaven.

Not to mention them, even the most powerful experts in the institute would agree without hesitation when faced with such a good thing.

Everyone knows that the research projects of Comrade Wang Mengde and the results achieved in the future are all world-class, and are even leading or pioneering.

As long as you participate in one, you will gain both fame and fortune in the future.

They all couldn't help but start fantasizing that when they returned home and other colleagues knew about this, they would definitely be extremely envious.

"Okay, since you all agree, let's start today. I will give you the specific research project information and also tell you about the precautions when doing the experiment."

After hearing that they agreed, Wang Mengde nodded.

This was also within his expectations.

In the past few years, since the establishment of the Genetic Research Institute, although he has had very few research projects here, every result has been able to cause a sensation around the world.

That is to say, this time the time is tight and the task is heavy. He has completed most of the preparation work, and all that is left is to carry out the experiment step by step.

That’s why I thought of finding a few new people who have just graduated to participate.

Otherwise, as long as he said that a project needed people, his office would be full of people within an hour.

When they heard that they were about to start work, they were suddenly at a loss.

And it seems that Wang Mengde won't come here often, so future research experiments will be carried out by just a few of them.

Thinking of this, I felt a little nervous.

After looking at each other, Jiang Xiaosi said with a stiff upper lip:

"Director Wang, we have a situation and would like to apply to you.

That is, none of us have much experience and we are afraid of making mistakes when doing experiments, which would not only easily lead to accidents but also affect the progress of the project.

So, can we arrange for an experienced person to check for us at ordinary times, so that even if there are problems, we can report and solve them in time. "

It’s not their fault that they lack confidence. The leap from doing odd jobs to becoming a project participant is really too big.

There are many equipments in the laboratory that they have never touched before.

These devices are very expensive imported equipment, and we are afraid that they will be damaged if used improperly.

"Well, we do need to assign you an experienced comrade to lead you in the experiment."

Wang Mengde said readily.

He thought about it and it was true. Even if he already knew the composition of the drug "Levofloxacin", the rest of the work would not be difficult.

But this is relative. These young people in front of me may be struggling.

After saying that, Wang Mengde looked at Liu Shuwei standing beside him. His meaning was very clear. He wanted him to appoint someone to participate. After all, he was more familiar with the people in the institute.

"Director Wang, I will immediately arrange for Comrade Huang Sizhong to participate in this project. He is experienced and just finished a project recently, so he is not very busy right now."

Liu Shuwei blurted out. Huang Sizhong is Wang Mengde's junior fellow apprentice, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

This is an opportunity that can obviously produce results, so naturally it cannot be given to outsiders.
So he was smart to say the name.

Sure enough, Wang Mengde was very satisfied with his arrangement.

The successful development of the drug "Levofloxacin" is of great significance, representing that China's antibiotic drugs have also reached international standards.

Moreover, the economic value of this drug is also very large.

Whether domestically or internationally, the demand will not be small.

Everyone involved in this project will gain huge benefits.

After the personnel were confirmed and Huang Sizhong was called over, Wang Mengde took out a few sheets of paper. These were some research directions and steps that he had written down early in the morning.

Then he dictated another part of the content.

For a period of time thereafter, Wang Mengde still focused on the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but he would also visit the Beijing Gene Research Institute from time to time.

In addition to listening to the progress of the trial, targeted guidance was also provided.

With a clear direction and Huang Sizhong's rich experience, the research and experiments made great progress.

It was not until the end of May that the world's first small amount of "levofloxacin" was finally produced in the laboratory.

After Wang Mengde learned the news from the phone, he simply arranged the work at hand and hurried to the Genetic Research Institute.

In the laboratory.

Huang Sizhong introduced excitedly:
"Brother, our experiment was successful.

We have conducted tests and experiments on the latest powder and found that it has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, and the antibacterial effect is particularly strong.

Next, I plan to continue researching to see which bacteria it works on.”

Behind him, Jiang Xiaosi, Yu Tong and others also looked excited.

Over the past month, several of them have been conducting experiments in the laboratory and have learned a lot of knowledge and experience, more than they had learned in the previous year.

Now that the results have come out so quickly, it feels like a dream to them.

“Junior Brother Huang, now that it has been developed, based on my guess, we can try its effect on Enterobacteriaceae, pneumonia, etc.

By the way, I will report to my superiors when the time comes and tell them that this drug may also be effective against cholera and that clinical trials must be conducted.”

Wang Mengde ordered with a smile.

Although he had never seen the newly developed medicine, he had confidence in Huang Sizhong.

This junior fellow student could be said to be the most hardworking person he had ever met. Coupled with his talent, he had already been promoted to level 14 and was the person in charge of many projects.

In another ten years, when my qualifications and skills have improved a bit, I will be able to stand on my own and be more than qualified to be the deputy director of a research institute.

At that time, Wang Mengde would be ready to step down and give the position of deputy director to him.

"Brother, can it really be effective against cholera?"

Huang Sizhong widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

If it is true, then this drug is extraordinary.

Although China used human wave tactics to prevent cholera in the early 1950s.

But that just prevents it from becoming popular. Many cases occur every year across the country, especially in the southern coastal areas.

Every time the disease is discovered, those areas treat it as a major enemy and have to invest a lot of manpower and resources to control it.

Even if there is no outbreak in the end, the amount of materials wasted and manpower used will not be a small number.

After all, coming into contact with patients is a very dangerous thing.

This is a helpless move when there is no specific medicine.

And if this newly developed drug can really treat cholera, then we don't have to be so nervous about this disease in the future.

and also.

In many areas abroad, outbreaks of this disease still occur from time to time.

Many people die from this disease every year.

"I guess it should have a good effect, but we still need to do clinical trials to confirm it."

Wang Mengde did not say too much, he spoke cautiously.

"Okay, Brother, I will arrange to continue the experiment right away. I will also report the possible effect on cholera and apply for immediate clinical trials."

Huang Sizhong said with great enthusiasm.

At the same time, I was very grateful to my senior brother.

If he succeeds this time, his position will be further promoted, even though he was just promoted once at the end of last year.

Early June.

In the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

In the living room of Wang Mengde's house, He Yanan was eating watermelon with her head down in big bites.

Seeing her sister's indecent eating manner, He Shengnan said helplessly: "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you, there's still plenty."

After finally finishing a large piece of watermelon, He Yanan wiped his mouth and said nonchalantly:
"Sister, you don't know that there are no watermelons for sale outside now. You can only eat this at your house."

"You can't be so rude when eating. You're a grown woman now."

"Sister, I'm still young. I just graduated from high school."

"You're not young at all. When I was your age, I was almost married. When you start working, you should also find a partner as soon as possible."

"I'm not looking for a partner."

Wang Mengde, who was standing nearby, saw the two sisters were about to quarrel, so he smiled and said:

"Yanan, you have graduated from high school and you haven't gone to college yet. What are your plans for the future? Is there any company you want to work for?"

This sister-in-law finally managed to graduate from high school. She should have no problem getting her high school diploma, but it will be difficult for her to go to college.

But he didn't care. In this day and age, graduating from high school was already a very high level of education.

"Brother-in-law, I haven't decided which unit to go to. Can you give me some advice?"

He Yanan glanced at her brother-in-law and said softly.

"Well, how about going to the district's money department? If you're willing, I'll arrange it for you right away."

Wang Mengde pondered for a moment and then asked.

He felt that it would be a waste for his sister-in-law, who had a high level of education, to work in an ordinary unit, and that it would be better for her to work within the system.

Moreover, departments that manage money will always be very popular, both now and in the future.

"I listen to my brother-in-law."
