Chapter 306: Do You Want the Traditional Chinese Medicine Instructions?
Young Master Lin once again reminded:
"And Uncle Five and Uncle Six, as soon as the patent certificates for the two drugs I applied for come out, you should go get them immediately and rent a safe deposit box at a bank. I don't know when I'll come over next time, so it's up to you to handle it.
Let me tell you something. If in a few years some foreigner comes to us and wants to buy our patents, you must refuse them without leaving any room for negotiation.
But tell them we don't sell patents, but we can license them and charge patent fees based on international standards. I'll write a power of attorney for you and have it notarized by a lawyer.
At this point, please pay attention. I don't want any royalties in cash. Exchange them all for gold. If the other party doesn't want gold, but only gives me US dollars, British pounds, or marks, that's fine too. After you get the money, please help me exchange it for gold in the market and store it.
Although Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu didn't know why their nephew was so sure that the patent must be valuable, they still nodded firmly.
"Okay, we only accept gold, no cash."
In 1960, neither the domestic RMB nor the foreign US dollars meant anything to Lin Sanqi and were equivalent to a piece of waste paper.
There are no precious Chinese medicinal materials available abroad, so the best choice for Lin Sanqi is gold.
At this time, a lot of gold was earned from foreigners, and this gold could be transferred to 2013. It was definitely hard currency.
Bricks and stones are not wanted. Bricks and stones are the biggest scam of the 21st century. Anyway, it is other people's business whether they love eternity. Lin Sanqi is so unsophisticated that he only loves gold.
"Also, Uncle Five and Uncle Six, brothers should be clear about accounts. This patent was invented by me alone, so the patent licensing fees generated belong to me alone. I will not settle the accounts with Gongzhong together to avoid confusion later.
But my father said that since our family is not in Hong Kong, the profits of Lingnan Hall will be divided into three parts. Each of you will get one part, and the Huadu Lin family will get one part. My father will not participate in the dividend distribution for the time being. Unless he comes to Hong Kong, the profits will be divided according to this ratio.
Fights between brothers often arise from conflicts over the distribution of money.
Brothers may be easy to talk to each other, but once a brother gets married, the woman may not be easy to talk to, and conflicts often arise from this.
Not every woman in the old society was as wise, righteous, visionary and capable as Mrs. Bai in "The Mansion Gate". The saying that "one woman brings prosperity to three generations" is not just a saying.
Although Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu are now running a clinic in Hong Kong, it seems to be their business.
But don’t forget that the clinic’s building belongs to Lin Kucan personally, the Lingnan Hall sign is also owned by Lin Kucan, the eldest son, and the medical skills were also taught by Lin Kucan himself.
Logically speaking, Lin Kucan is the "chairman" of Lingnan Hall and should get the bulk of the profits.
Now Lin Kucan has voluntarily given up the dividends. Except for leaving a portion of money for the family, the rest is given to his fifth and sixth brothers to distribute freely. This is also to reassure the two of them as much as possible, or to follow the wishes of his fifth and sixth brother's wife.
It is rare for a big brother to achieve this.
Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu became a little anxious when they heard their nephew was telling them the same thing as his will:
"Qizi, you really don't want to stay? I've seen how you've behaved these past few days. You're more like a Hong Konger than those Hong Kong people. You'll definitely thrive here. It's better than living in the mainland and eating coarse food, right?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled, wondering what was there in Hong Kong at this time that made him nostalgic? His beloved Li Lizhen wouldn't be born for another six years.
The only female star known in Hong Kong now is Xia Meng, who has been the dream of Jin Yong. She is 27 years old this year, which is the perfect age for a young girl to be a teenager, and she is absolutely beautiful.
It's a pity that Miss Xia doesn't even look down on a wealthy man and big boss like Jin Yong, so how could she be interested in a little kid who fled to Hong Kong with no foundation like him?
Besides, there is nothing in Hong Kong that can help him make a fortune. It’s either electronic watches or plastic flowers. He really can’t think of how he can “monetize traffic” if he stays in Hong Kong?
Therefore, Lin Sanqi must return to the mainland, as only the mainland has sufficient Chinese medicinal materials in the world.
"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, listen to me. I have business to attend to in the mainland, so I can only come here occasionally. Hong Kong is relying on you two. If the Chinese medicine clinic makes money, you should try to buy houses and land. Don't keep the money in the bank, it will depreciate."
Lin Hongcan and Lin Xuancan nodded slightly after hearing this, knowing that they could not persuade their little nephew, so they stopped trying to persuade him.
But Lin Sanqi's performance in the past few days had obviously conquered them, and they kept his instructions in mind. As Doctor Lin had said before, the two younger brothers he raised were completely trustworthy.
"Qizai, don't worry, we will do as you say."
Lin Sanqi slapped his forehead for the last time:
"Oh, by the way, since we have so many houses, why don't you leave an empty room for me so I can come and stay anytime? Don't rent it out."
"Okay, okay, no problem. You should come to Hong Kong more often. Life in the mainland is too hard. We couldn't even get enough to eat back home..."
Lin Sanqi didn't have time to listen to his two uncles' nagging. He wanted to keep the room empty so that he could leave a mark in Hong Kong in 1960 so that he could travel through it through the "time and space gate".
Theoretically, no matter where Lin Sanqi is, he can open any door and go back to 2013.
But on the other hand, if you open any door from 2013, you cannot reach any place in 1960. There is a prerequisite here: both sides must be his own "home".
In this way, he can first travel from the Princess's Mansion to 23 years ago, and then travel again to his own home in Temple Street, Hong Kong.
If it is not his own home, Lin Sanqi can also travel through time, but this time travel can only be from that place, and he will return to the same place.
For example, when he was in Ching Hai, he could travel back to 2013, but when he came back from 2013 again, he was still in the old place of Ching Hai, instead of appearing in the capital or Hong Kong.
"Space-time Gate", "Channel Space" and many other new functions are waiting for Lin Sanqi to continue exploring.
In the next few days, Lin Sanqi, who had completed his mission, began to travel around Hong Kong, as if he was in Hengdian Film and Television City. The whole of Hong Kong was like "The Truman Show", which was quite interesting.
As for travel souvenirs, Lin Sanqi went to various jewelry stores and bought a lot of jade bracelets, necklaces, etc.
In 1960, the price of jadeite had not yet been hyped up. It was just sold as an ordinary gemstone. A top-grade glass-type imperial green bracelet only cost 10,000 yuan, which was equivalent to the income of an average Hong Kong resident for two or three years.
In comparison, in 2013, the price of a top-grade jade bracelet ranged from tens to hundreds of millions of yuan, and an ordinary Hong Kong resident would have to work for decades to buy it.
This shows that the appreciation of jade is very exaggerated, and it is definitely a good financial product.
Lin Sanqi has no shortage of money to buy jadeite.
Hong Kong is a free market, and it is easy to buy and sell gold. 20 tons of gold is enough for him to squander. If he really uses it up, the worst that can happen is that he can use grain to buy it from the old people in the old city.
The essence of business, in simple terms, is to make profits by "buying low and selling high". If you can seize the opportunity, even a pig can fly, let alone a time traveler.
So Lin Sanqi basically bought out all the top-grade jadeite in the Xiangjiang jewelry store, spending almost one million Hong Kong dollars.
Finally, Lin Sanqi purchased a lot more radios.
Radios in 2013 are very high-tech and would not be suitable to be brought back from 1960.
But Hong Kong radios were different: stylish and convenient, unlike the bulky ones in China. Lin Sanqi bought 100 radios of different models, intending to give them away as favors after returning to the mainland.
Just like antiques and curios, he doesn't use them himself, but they are great gifts for others, and he will definitely give them away without saying a word.
Finally, he went to the medical equipment management department to take a look...
The trip to Hong Kong went more smoothly than expected. After staying in Hong Kong for half a month, Lin Sanqi prepared to return home as planned.
He did not take the new route to flash home, but continued to take the line of Hong Kong-Haojiang-Zhongshan-Huadu-Capital.
Because Lin Sanqi was going to visit the director Pang of Zhongshan County Hospital who helped him smuggle himself into the country.
After all, Lin Sanqi can travel through time, but the other eight members of the Lin family, including Pan Ye's family in the future, or other people.
If in a few years, more than a dozen members of the Lin family try to smuggle themselves across the border together, they will definitely need the cooperation of the local tyrants.
It's human nature, and it's only human nature if you keep in touch with each other. If you don't keep in touch for a long time, the relationship will be broken.
After Lin Sanqi arrived in Zhongshan County, he gave a Hong Kong radio to Dean Pang and secretly sent him 200 kilograms of rice. The relationship between the two sides was established.
As for the journey, Lin Sanqi is not afraid. He regards riding the green train as traveling. He can see different scenery outside the window and buy local specialties on the platforms of various train stations.
However, when the train passed through Henan, the curtains were all drawn, and no one was allowed to look out...
After rushing back to the capital, a month had passed. It was already the end of June 1960.
The weather in Hong Kong was very hot, and Lin Sanqi suffered a lot wearing a suit and trousers to show off there, but it was just right in the capital.
Of course, he couldn't come back wearing a suit, that would be courting death. Instead, he wore a Zhongshan suit, and his Hong Kong ID card had long been hidden in the passage space.
Lin Sanqi's Zhongshan suits were washed repeatedly in the washing machine in 2013, and they became worn, faded, and wrinkled.
Otherwise, going out in a brand new Zhongshan suit would also attract attention. Who has the cloth coupons to allow people to wear new clothes often?
Whenever Lin Sanqi put on his old Zhongshan suit, he would think of Emperor Daoguang, who had several patches on his dragon robe, and all the ministers in the court had to wear patched clothes.
Later, the price of patched official uniforms even exceeded that of brand new ones. This absurd era was finally recorded in history books for future generations to know...
After Lin Sanqi returned to the Gege Mansion, he quietly called his parents and elder brother to the back garden.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, this is our house in Hong Kong. The upstairs is rented out now, and part of the downstairs has been converted into a Chinese medicine clinic. Next to it is a fruit shop, a roast goose shop, and a grocery store. These are all rented from our family..."
"This is a photo I took of your grandparents when I passed by my hometown in Huadu..."
"This is a photo of my fifth uncle's family, and this is a photo of my sixth uncle's family..."
"This is the street scene in Hong Kong. It's so developed over there now..."
"Brother, stop staring at the beautiful woman's thighs in the photo. Be careful or your sister-in-law will get angry..."
Lin Kucan wore reading glasses and slowly looked at the details of Hong Kong in the photos, wondering what he was thinking in his mind.
Lin Sanqi placed a beautiful, crystal clear jade bracelet in Jin Caifeng's hand:
"Mom, this is a bracelet I bought at Chow Tai Fook. Wow, it looks so beautiful on you."
Jin Caifeng saw it and narrowed her eyes with joy: "You child, you spend money recklessly. Wow, this bracelet is really beautiful, hehe~~~"
Lin Sanqi handed another bracelet to Lin Gancao:
"Brother, this is a travel souvenir for my sister-in-law. Please bring it to her later."
Lin Gancao, an honest man, was at a loss as to what to do with the bracelet:
"Okay, okay, it's so precious. I thank you on behalf of your eldest sister-in-law. By the way, what about your second sister-in-law's?"
Lin Sanqi yawned: "Second sister-in-law, what second sister-in-law, I'm sleepy, ah, go to sleep for a while..."
The next day, Lin Sanqi showed up at the Changping branch driving a large truck.
As soon as I jumped out of the car, Pan Ye ran over from a distance.
In an era without advance notification via phone or WeChat, the little girl was able to run over at the first moment. I guess she must have been staring at the gate of the courtyard every day, looking anxiously.
Lin Sanqi was very touched and opened his arms to hug her.
As a result, Pan Ye dodged skillfully and went straight under his armpit, leaving Lin Sanqi with nothing to hold onto.
Just when Lin Sanqi was feeling extremely regretful, he suddenly felt someone hugging his back, although it was only a gentle hug and they separated in a second.
This is already Pan Ye's limit...
"Sanqi, you're back?"
"I'm back, hey, did you miss me?"
"Humph, I don't miss you. I can study peacefully without you."
Lin Sanqi knew that girls always said one thing and meant another, so he smiled and took a large bag from the car:
"Here, there are all kinds of snacks in here, all made in Hong Kong. Take them back to your dorm and eat them secretly. Don't let anyone see you."
When Pan Ye heard that her boyfriend had brought it back to her from afar, her heart was immediately filled with sweetness: "Thank you, you are so kind!"
(Yin Lianyi: Excuse me?)
Lin Sanqi took out a palm-sized radio:
"Here, this is a radio. Don't look at its small size, but the signal is very good. You can listen to the radio when you are bored."
Pan Ye took the small, pink women's radio and immediately fell in love with it. She smiled and said again:
"Thank you. I like it very much."
At this time, Vice President Ji also got the news and hurried over:
"Xiao Qi, you're back. How is it? Is everything going well?"
Lin Sanqi signaled Pan Ye to take the things and leave quickly, then patted the trunk of the truck:
"Who am I? Is there anything I can't handle? There are two X-ray machines in this car, the most advanced 750 mAh ones. We'll use one and keep one as a backup. Which hospital in the country is as powerful as us?"
"Okay, okay, this is a treasure, Lao Yang, quickly call a few people to unload it."
An X-ray machine alone is not enough. In order to prevent radiation, the walls and roof of the machine room must also be specially protected from radiation. Lin Sanqi also brought the materials.
While everyone was busy, Lin Sanqi asked:
"Deputy Ji, how is the tuberculosis ward going?"
"The house has been built. To prevent outsiders from coming in and out, we've built a small courtyard. Let's go and take a look."
To the north of the farm, at the foot of Baihu Mountain, a new "mouth"-shaped bungalow was built, like a miniature version of a Fujian Tulou.
There is a patio in the middle and bungalows around it. This is to prevent outsiders from entering and exiting, as it is an infectious disease ward after all. Also, it is to prevent wolves from rushing in again.
Lin Sanqi walked around the bungalow. There were about 20 rooms in it. It was not very big. The outer walls were still made of red bricks, but obviously there was no lime on them.
Lin Sanqi knew that he had the X-ray machine and the miracle drug ethylamine, pyrazine and rifampicin tablets, and with the help of the Chinese medicine hospital's top-notch Chinese medicine conditioning, this small, simple ward would definitely create miracles.
Then these mere 20 wards are simply not enough.
Entering the yard, Lin Sanqi saw that the wards were temporarily set up into 10 rooms, with 3 beds in each room, as well as a pharmacy, a clinic, and a toilet.
Vice President Ji saw that Lin Sanqi looked a little dissatisfied, so he said embarrassedly:
"The conditions are a bit crude, but there's nothing we can do about it. Building materials like cement are so hard to come by these days, and even getting bricks is not easy. Look at these hospital beds and other things. They were made temporarily by the village carpenter."
Lin Sanqi knew that he couldn't ask for too much, as it was an era where money couldn't buy anything.
As a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, there were still limitations when designing this tuberculosis yard, so Lin Sanqi proposed some suggestions for improvement:
"Deputy Ji, connect the north-facing rooms and build three more rooms outside. One will be used as an X-ray room, and the other two will be used as laboratories."
"Laboratory? You mean the kind used for blood tests at Union Hospital?"
"Yes, it's a blood test. Pulmonary tuberculosis can be diagnosed by taking the pulse in traditional Chinese medicine. I think any Chinese medicine practitioner with some skills can do this, but Chinese medicine is not omnipotent.
Why do we say this? Because if there is a problem with the pulse, it means that the disease has already occurred, or at least is in the middle or late stages.
The purpose of blood tests is to provide targeted early prevention based on various abnormal indicators in the blood.
Let me give you an example. My family’s secret recipe for tuberculosis can cure tuberculosis, but it has significant side effects, such as the impact on the liver.
If I have a blood testing device and draw a tube of blood, and see abnormal liver function indicators, I will know that the liver is damaged. At this time, liver protection treatment should be carried out to prevent liver damage from eventually turning into hepatitis, or even cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc.
However, if we use our traditional Chinese medicine method to examine, by the time the patient has a sallow complexion, red and yellow urine, nausea and vomiting, and a weak and slippery pulse, it is already too late. The liver disease has already occurred and the difficulty of treatment has increased greatly.
Therefore, prevention is very important, and how to prevent it is to look at the blood test indicators."
Vice President Ji remained silent upon hearing this, then said worriedly:
"Xiao Qi, I understand what you're saying, but is this treatment considered Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine? You should know that this is likely to cause controversy. How can we, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, use Western medicine methods?"
Several other middle-level cadres nearby also nodded slightly, obviously not agreeing with Lin Sanqi's reform plan.
Lin Sanqi was not annoyed and said with a smile:
"Should we, as Chinese medicine practitioners, strive for self-improvement or remain complacent? I think this is a question we should all think carefully about.
Let me give you another example. For example, our Chinese Medicine Hospital is developing the latest sister medicine of Angong Niuhuang Pills, Qingxin Zhengfeng Pills. One of the ingredients in this medicine is rhinoceros horn. I think everyone knows this, right?
Vice President Ji and the others were confused and continued to listen quietly to Lin Sanqi's excuses:
"If I remember correctly, the rhino horns used were from the large one-horned rhino from India, the small one-horned rhino from Java, and the double-horned rhino from Sumatra.
So, if we don't have these three types of rhinoceros in our country, how did the ancients know about their medicinal value? And how did they use them in medicine?
What does this indicate? It indicates that ancient Chinese medicine was also constantly improving, constantly absorbing advanced foreign experience and medicinal materials, and ultimately using them for our own benefit.
Speaking of ancestral systems, I would like to ask, what does "ancestor" mean?
Our China was originally just a small tribe in the Yellow River Basin. Later, its territory became as large as Henan Province. Later, it continued to grow into a crabapple flower, and finally into a big rooster.
What does this indicate? It indicates that our country’s territory is constantly expanding, a result of the integration of multiple ethnic groups.
What are these so-called "ancestral teachings"? You say Huangdi is the ancestor? But the Mongols say their ancestor is Chunwei, and the Manchus say their ancestor is Hanpu.
If we have to talk about our ancestors, the ancestors of our traditional Chinese medicine should go back to the time of Shennong. When someone was sick, a group of savages would dance around a campfire, and then pick up some herbs and put them directly into their mouths or chew them. So, do you want to follow Shennong's example and taste hundreds of herbs to treat the disease?
