Zhu Qilin echoed, "Yes, Dr. Li Ben, what your delegation from Japan shared with us are all publicly available information in Western medicine.
Since you want to spy on Tong Ren Tang's secret craftsmanship, shouldn't you exchange it for your secret medicine craftsmanship?
I think the natural leech extraction process that my apprentice just mentioned is very good.
Since sincerity is the key to diplomatic relations between the two countries, there should also be equal exchange.
Don't just keep saying that we are not sincere. I think you are even less sincere!"
Li Benyuan glared at Xie Wan fiercely and asked, "How did you know that we were researching natural hirudin?"
Xie Wan couldn't say that it was Haizang Jingwu who told her, right?
She showed no sign of guilt and grinned, "Dr. Li Ben, since you are a joint developer, there must be people who want to show off their talents in private!
It just so happens that I not only study traditional Chinese medicine, but also like to read Western medicine magazines. I don’t remember which article I saw related reports in.
Otherwise, you can go back and check to see if anyone in your R&D team has leaked the research progress?"
Li Benyuan was skeptical, because their research institute was indeed a joint investment by several pharmaceutical companies.
In his heart, he didn't quite believe what Xie Wan said, but he couldn't find any evidence to refute it.
He felt that the more likely possibility was that someone had also planted spies in their native country.
But it's not easy to say this openly.
He could only say sarcastically, "Little girl, you are joking. Our research is still in its preliminary stages. There is nothing much to share."
Xie Wan imitated his aggressive tone and said, “See, Dr. Li Ben is just not sincere.
He only wants to see other people's secrets but is unwilling to share his own.
I think we should not even bother looking at the production process of Angong Niuhuang Pills.
The prescription for this medicine is in ancient books. You can buy a book and study it yourself, isn't it the same?"
With Xie Wan leading the way, the other Chinese medicine practitioners were not stupid and followed suit: "Yes, it's the same if you study it yourself.
I heard that Japan’s production technology is very advanced, and the product it produces will definitely not be worse than Tong Ren Tang’s.”
The matter was swept away in the midst of all the commotion.
Although Director Tan was taken away, the tour process still had to continue.
Director Liu called one of Director Tan's apprentices to take everyone to visit the process flow of Isatis root production in the workshop.
To be honest, the current Chinese medicine production workshops are very simple.
The equipment for cleaning, slicing, stirring and extraction is still semi-automated, and most of it still requires manual operation.
The faces of the Japanese delegation all showed disdain.
Li Benyuan proposed: "If our Li Ben Tian Hai Tang is willing to cooperate with Tong Ren Tang and provide Tong Ren Tang with a set of fully automated production line equipment, and the two sides establish a joint venture, I wonder if your country would be interested?"
Among the reception group, there was a leader from the commerce department, who became interested when he heard it.
Just when he was about to have a deep conversation with Li Benyuan, Xie Wan followed behind Li Benyuan and said sarcastically, "The equipment was not produced by your Li Ben Tianhai Hall.
You just want to steal Tong Ren Tang's secret recipe in the name of a joint venture.
The annual output value of one of Tongrentang’s medicines is enough to buy a production line.
Aren't you just bullying us because we don't have enough foreign exchange and purchasing channels?
I tell you, we will become stronger and stronger. We can find ways to earn foreign exchange and purchase equipment from other countries. But you are taking advantage of the situation and robbing us. You are not like a friend. You are more like your ancestors who want to launch an economic invasion war against us!"
The junior leader in charge of commerce understood everything immediately and nodded frequently, without taking up the topic of cooperation in opening a factory with Li Benyuan again.
But Xie Wan knew that she could stop it once, but not many times.
She took the opportunity to get close to the young leader and said, "Leader, it's hard for us to get foreign exchange and equipment from other places, but we can find a way from Hong Kong.
I think there are still some patriotic businessmen in Hong Kong.
With their help, we may not be unable to obtain foreign exchange and equipment.
There is no need to be strangled by the Japanese."
The leader of the commerce department is actually in his forties. He is definitely not an ordinary person as he can hold an important position in such a department.
He looked at Xie Wan deeply and said, "Little comrade, you are very patriotic."
Then nothing more was said.
In fact, our country did open offices in Hong Kong in the 1970s. China Resources was an important trading company in Hong Kong affiliated to the Ministry of Commerce.
However, due to the British blockade, China Resources' business in Hong Kong is also struggling.
Xie Wan knew about China Resources Group. At this moment, she thought that she still had too few connections. If she could get in touch with China Resources, with the remaining Hong Kong dollars in her space, she would definitely be able to help the country a lot.
All in all, our economy needs to develop so that we don't have to rely on others. If we were not subject to an economic blockade by Western countries, we would not have to cooperate with the Japanese.
The tour process that Li Benyuan had expected did not achieve the expected results.
However, Li Benyuan still took the opportunity to get in touch with several leaders of Tongrentang Pharmaceutical Factory.
Xie Wan could probably guess what he was going to do next, so he wrote down every person who had come into contact with Li Benyuan.
Before the end of the visit, Xie Wan picked up Xiao Zhi and his sons in a secluded place.
Xie Wan gave some instructions and only brought the eldest prince back to the space.
Xiao Zhi and his sons are keeping an eye on these people in the factory. If they have any private contact with Li Benyuan, Xie Wan will find out soon.
