It's December in the blink of an eye.
Money makes the world go round. Chen Xia invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, and two other papers were published, which excited the domestic medical community.
Now, the Ministry of Health is going to hold another symposium to commend and publicize the country's first discovery of Helicobacter pylori.
Internationally, with the publication of the three papers, there have been many voices of rebuttal, but also many voices of support.
After all, The Lancet has a bottom line. As a top medical journal, it is impossible for it to publish unreliable papers continuously.
However, due to the lack of information at home and abroad, Chen Xia has not heard about these debates yet.
1984 is about to arrive. In another month, the old man in the capital will officially tour the south and issue a series of instructions to accelerate opening up. The grand first year of the enterprise has finally arrived.
Chen Xia's plan to open a pharmaceutical factory in the mainland under the name of Hong Kong capital is about to be officially implemented.
To open a factory, you need equipment. The workshop-style, manual production methods of Qingfeng Pharmaceutical Factory are bound to be eliminated. At the same time, the old Ogilvy Pharmaceutical Factory in Hong Kong also needs to upgrade its pharmaceutical equipment.
After discussion, Chen Xia and Chen Shuqin decided to purchase a batch of equipment at one time, which would be used for both investment in setting up a factory and for updating and upgrading.
In the 1980s, the most advanced precision instruments and automated production equipment came from Japan and Germany, followed closely by the United States. As for domestically produced equipment, well, it's hard to describe.
It just so happened that Japan was going to hold an international industrial expo at the end of the year.
So Chen Shuqin sent a telegram, asking Chen Xia to meet up in Hong Kong immediately and go abroad together to purchase the equipment needed for the pharmaceutical factory.
Since he was going to Japan and paying for it himself, Chen Xia decided to take everyone he could with him.
He wanted to take his wife with him and travel thousands of miles with her for the rest of his life, so he decided to take her with him wherever he went. After all, her father was the dean, so who would object if she didn't go to work?
Come out and talk about it!
In addition, family members including Chen Chun, Zheng Haisheng, Chen Qiu and Chen Dong were also taken away.
Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Chen Xia consciously wanted to cultivate the horizons of his younger brothers and sisters, let them see the advanced things in foreign countries, and let them understand that there are always people better than you.
In addition, my eldest sister and her future brother-in-law are having their honeymoon in advance, and they have already decided to get married during the Chinese New Year.
Another purpose is that the most advanced instruments and equipment from various countries are exhibited at the industrial expo, so they can choose which equipment they need and import some.
Chen Qiaogu, as the person in charge of Qingfeng Pharmaceutical Factory, also went there. It could be considered as a reward for her. The girl has been working really hard in the past few years. Chen Xia is a hands-off boss, and everything depends on Qiaogu alone.
The key is that she has always kept some secrets and never said goodbye to anyone else. She has also become a corporate executive that Chen Xia has focused on training, and is definitely a direct descendant of the direct descendants.
The most important thing before leaving is to exchange currency. Chen Xia started cursing as soon as he came out of the bank.
The bank stipulates that each person can exchange no more than 50 yuan for Japanese yen. What can this amount of money do? In Japan, it is not enough to pay for a taxi fare from the airport to the city center.
Although Japanese taxi drivers are mostly old men in their seventies or eighties, their service attitude is impeccable, but their fares are very unreasonable.
Chen Xia still remembers the first time he went to Japan in his previous life. The taxi fare from the airport to the hotel in the city cost him almost 1,500 yuan. He was so scared that he saw the numbers on the meter kept jumping in the car and almost had a heart attack.
It seems that I can only rely on my aunt in Hong Kong for currency exchange. She is rich and can exchange it for Japanese yen from scalpers, but the loss at this exchange rate is too great. I want to set up a factory, so I have to calculate every penny clearly.
No matter how much money jade makes, it is not as great as the investment in pharmaceutical laboratories and pharmaceutical factories. It is a money-eating beast.
The profits are considerable, and the investment is even more considerable.
Chen Shuqin and her group set off from Hong Kong, while Chen Xia and her group got their visas and borrowed a Japanese translator and tour guide from the Foreign Affairs Office. They left Shanghai and headed to Japan together.
It only takes 3 hours to fly from Shanghai to Tokyo, and the two places are not far apart. Chen Xia fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane.
But Chen Qiaogu, Chen Chun and others were quite nervous. It was their first time on a plane. Even if they were usually calm, the feeling of flying in the air was really uncomfortable. They were always afraid that the big plane would fall.
Their fear made Zheng Haisheng next to them nervous, but when he saw Chen Xia's calmness, he pretended not to be afraid and closed his eyes, thinking that if he died, he would rather die with the girl he loved, it would be worth it.
Gu Lin and Chen Dong were much simpler. They thought that airplanes were just fleeting dreams. How could they be as tempting as the snacks on the flight attendant's trolley?
The two were already discussing the profound and serious question of whether to have chicken noodles or beef rice for lunch.
The two sides met at the airport.
This time, Chen Shuqin brought with her Ye Shirong, vice president of Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, Zhu Wenqi, director of the production department, Qian Yutang, director of the technical department, and others. It seemed like they were here for a business inspection.
The next day, Gu Lin and a few other kids... Wait, how could Gu Lin be considered a kid? Well, never mind. They found a local guide and went out to play with an interpreter.
Chen Xia, Chen Chun, Zheng Haisheng and their aunt went to the Tokyo International Exhibition Center located in Ariake 3-chome, Koto District.
The Tokyo International Industrial Fair is very large and is divided into several exhibition areas. Chen Shuqin and Chen Xia are mainly visiting the medical equipment exhibition area this time.
Chen Xia had participated in many academic conferences in his previous life, but this was his first time attending such a large-scale trade fair, so he was particularly interested and looked around.
Chen Chun and Zheng Haisheng remembered the requirements given to them by the hospital's D committee when they came out, that they must be serious and not embarrass the Chinese people, so they suppressed their inner curiosity and followed the group obediently.
Chen Xia felt uncomfortable watching this, "Sister, brother-in-law, please relax a little. Seeing you guys so nervous makes me feel uncomfortable."
Zheng Haisheng smiled awkwardly, and Chen Chun couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Do you think everyone is as shameless and brainless as you?"
"Sister, why do I feel like I'm speechless? You seem to be making a lot of sense."
Hahaha, everyone around started laughing, and before they knew it, everyone relaxed.
The Tokyo Industrial Expo brings together the world's most advanced industrial products and equipment and is one of the largest trade fairs in the world.
For example, at the medical exhibition, Japanese companies such as Samlin, Hitachi, and Yokogawa; German companies such as Siemens and Fresenius; Dutch company Philips; and American companies such as Cardinal Health, Emerson, and GE all participated.
Chen Xia and his group walked around the exhibition hall and visited everywhere, which was really an eye-opener.
Especially Chen Xia and Chen Qiaogu, they felt embarrassed when they saw so many automated pharmaceutical production lines and thought about the backward production equipment of Qingfeng Pharmaceutical Factory.
Compared to Chen Xia and the other laymen, Ye Shirong, Qian Yutang and Zhu Wenqi are professionals. They have been collecting information and comparing it all the way, trying to find the equipment with the best cost-effectiveness.
Or... hehe...
