Chapter 242 Rise!

Immediately after Wujiang Pharmaceutical Company invested in or acquired pharmaceutical companies, Zhao Ye notified representatives of major pharmaceutical companies to come to Shanghai for a meeting.

In a short time, many medical experts and executives of traditional Chinese medicine companies flocked to Shanghai, causing a stir in the industry and the media.

"This is probably the most lively gathering of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners since the founding of the People's Republic of China!" an elderly TCM doctor exclaimed, looking at the newspaper with a hint of excitement on his face.

For decades, Western medicine has been suppressing traditional Chinese medicine, and fewer and fewer people are coming to see traditional Chinese medicine doctors. An old traditional Chinese medicine doctor opened a clinic, but business is getting worse and worse. He is very worried that young people in the future will believe in Western medicine and will no longer go to traditional Chinese medicine clinics, which will cut off his livelihood.

He acknowledged that Western medicine is very powerful, but traditional Chinese medicine also has its merits.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been passed down for thousands of years, remaining vibrant and enduring. It possesses its own systematic theory, representing the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation and a treasure of Chinese culture. TCM has its own unique methods for treating diseases. In contrast, thousands of years ago, people in other countries still relied on primitive methods like witchcraft or bloodletting for healing.

Today, traditional Chinese medicine is declining, which pains veteran practitioners, but they are powerless to change it.

Recently, he learned from friends in the industry that Wujiang Pharmaceutical Company had taken up the banner of revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine, and the old doctor was so moved that he cried.

"Traditional Chinese medicine has hope! Traditional Chinese medicine has hope!!!"

At this time, hundreds of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners across the country spontaneously organized themselves and came to Shanghai, as if they were attending an ancient medical conference.

"The main purpose of holding that meeting was to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine in China!"

"If you want to promote traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, you should rely less on those old Chinese medicine doctors."

Currently, there is a severe shortage of both Western and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

"Yes, Chairman!"

Clap clap clap!

"President Zhao is wicked!!!" Everyone stood up immediately upon seeing Ao Jun and exclaimed in unison.

Cheng Jianbi, CEO of Youjiang Pharmaceutical Company, came over and exchanged some complicated pleasantries. As he led Ao Jun, Li Ao Jun, and others toward the conference room, he said, "Boss, representatives from all seventy-seven pharmaceutical companies are here!"

Pulse diagnosis via thread, acupuncture, cupping, meridians, acupoints, etc... will definitely leave Lao Li completely bewildered.

A short while later, Ao Jun and the others arrived at the conference room.

"As you all know, since the end of modern times, with the introduction of Western medicine in small quantities, traditional Chinese medicine has gradually declined, even to the point of collapse. Nowadays, people tend to prefer Western medicine when seeking medical treatment and taking medicine. Few people only see that Western medicine is slower to take effect and then conclude that Western medicine has fallen behind, thus criticizing traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, everything in the world exists for a reason. Traditional Chinese medicine has gone through thousands of years and withstood all kinds of tests, and it still maintains its vigorous vitality. It has its own unique advantages and value!"

Unexpectedly, the Japanese harbored malicious intentions and, by preemptively registering patents for Chinese medicine, ultimately stifled the development of traditional Chinese medicine in China.

“No,” Li Aojun replied.

"Therefore, we should take this opportunity to recruit those people, on the one hand to invest in opening TCM clinics, and on the other hand to build TCM training institutions to cultivate even more TCM talents."

Seeing this, Ao Jun smiled with satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Lü Shan's eyes lit up. "Yes, how did you come up with that idea? In the future, TCM clinics will be run by masters teaching apprentices, with classes taught directly in the clinics."

When they were young, Ao Jun, Li Ao Jun and their group came to Youjiang Pharmaceutical Company.

“Bad suggestion, but let’s do it!” Ao Jun said to Li Ao Jun. “Zhao Ye, he contacted Shangyou Jiang Pharmaceutical Company a little earlier to come up with a plan.”

Stealing Chinese herbal medicine formulas, applying for patents, developing them into Kampo medicine, and then making a fortune—is there anything worse in the world? It's so satisfying! Tsumura Tensuke chuckled inwardly. The Chinese are simply too foolish; they turn a blind eye to national treasures while the Japanese make a killing.

The worst solution is not to train our own talent.

Inside the meeting room, everyone condemned the shameful behavior of the Japanese.

Ao Jun raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet, then said in a deep voice, "To save traditional Chinese medicine, the most urgent task is for your pharmaceutical companies to compete with Japanese pharmaceutical companies in registering patents for Chinese medicine, thwarting their conspiracy, crushing their ambitions, and reclaiming what belongs to your own country!!!"

"Western medicine emphasizes efficiency, while traditional Chinese medicine focuses on preventing disease before it occurs and treating the root cause of illness—these are the things that Western medicine achieves. Your TCM treatment philosophy is far behind that of Western medicine!"

Inside the chairman's office of Tsumura, a major Japanese Kampo medicine company.

Ao Jun then walked to the head seat and sat down.

Ao Jun's gaze swept across everyone's faces. Seeing Xiao Jia's excited expression, he smiled slightly. After a while, he continued, "Now, with the decline of national power and the regression of society, traditional Chinese medicine is gradually reviving. Although it will take a long time to regain its former glory, traditional Chinese medicine is not lagging behind. It will surely grow stronger with the development of the times and once again attract the attention of the Chinese people and the world! That's right..."

In the eyes of the old man, the few methods of traditional Chinese medicine are quite mysterious.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present applauded, feeling that what Ao Jun said made no sense.

The laughter that preceded the words was full of arrogance and mockery.

We have never heard of the Japanese rushing to register patents for traditional Chinese medicine, but we don't take it seriously. The fact that the Japanese tried to register patents for traditional Chinese medicine but we failed shows that our country's traditional Chinese medicine culture is profound and extensive, and even Japan appreciates it.

...

"Traditional Chinese medicine requires processing and compounding into prescriptions, and is taken by decoction, which is quite troublesome. Prepared Chinese medicines, on the other hand, are dosage forms that are easier for patients to take, such as granules, powders, pills, and tablets. They are characterized by stable properties, definite efficacy, relatively small side effects, and ease of administration, carrying, and storage. Before being made into prepared Chinese medicines, they cannot be sold directly in pharmacies, which would be slightly detrimental to the development of pharmaceutical companies!"
