That night, Lin Sanqi, who had lived two lives, tasted the taste of scallop shrimp for the first time. The excitement of being cautious and forcing himself to resist the urge to charge forward made him feel it was a unique experience.
A short separation is better than a new marriage, and Pan Ye himself was also satisfied. The two of them slept together and did not get up until noon the next day.
Lin Sanqi was standing in front of the mirror, applying hairspray to her head and then combing it, looking like Little K.
Pan Ye brought over a custom-made set of shirt and trousers, and carefully tied the tie for her husband.
Lin Sanqi is already an old time traveler and knows what clothes to wear in each era. Even in the 1960s, the clothing in China and Hong Kong was completely different.
In Hong Kong, a place where people look down on others, you must dress beautifully, wear expensive clothes, and then hold your chin high as if looking down on others.
In Shanghainese, this is called accent.
In Hong Kong parlance, this is what it means to be stylish.
All he lacks is a civilized stick, and he looks like a fake foreigner. Of course, Hong Kong people are not ashamed of it, but proud of it.
To go to Hong Kong Wales Hospital, Lin Sanqi did not drive himself, but called a rickshaw after crossing the sea.
It’s not that the Lin family doesn’t have a car, it’s just that he doesn’t know how to drive a right-hand drive car and is afraid of hitting and killing someone.
Hospital inpatient department.
When Professor Anthony saw Lin Sanqi coming, he was quite dissatisfied:
"Lin, you're completely disregarding our clinical validation project. Do you realize that this is related to a major medical breakthrough that will go down in history and win a Nobel Prize? How come you've been gone for months, acting like nothing happened?"
Lin Sanqi patted the white old man's shoulder and whispered:
"Professor, you're really wronging me. I've done a lot of work to make our tuberculosis research a success. Look, I've lost a lot of weight. It's been incredibly hard work."
Professor Theodore next to him was obviously a little unconvinced:
"Lin, stop joking. I've known you for almost a year, and I've never seen you in the lab. You don't even necessarily attend the dean's weekly rounds. Haha, you're a playboy."
Lin Sanqi was shocked when he heard this and quickly denied it:
"Noisy, Theodore, you can't say such nonsense. In our country, having affairs with men and women is a capital crime. The punishment is hanging from the crooked tree at the entrance of the village.
Okay, let me tell you, I plan to move the tuberculosis drug factory next to the Hong Kong River, to a place called Bao'an County.
I am now doing the infrastructure work and am ready to start the first production line in two months.
By then, I plan to produce the medicines in mainland China, package them in Hong Kong, and ship them worldwide. Of course, as agreed, I will hand over all markets outside of Asia to you.”
As soon as money and interests were involved, the two white professors became interested:
"Lin, why don't you build the tuberculosis drug factory in Xiangjiang?"
"Yes, Hong Kong is a vibrant city, and this will save us a lot of customs duties."
Lin Sanqi smacked his lips:
"You don't understand this. If we want to supply the world with tuberculosis treatment drugs, it won't be solved with just one or two production lines. The demand for drugs will be huge, and the scale of the pharmaceutical factory will also be huge.
But land in Hong Kong is too expensive. I can't afford it. My pharmaceutical factory in mainland China has 5 square kilometers of planned land, equivalent to a 1,200-acre farm. Hong Kong doesn't have that much land for me.
If we set up a factory in Hong Kong, it would be small. If there was a shortage of drugs and the factory couldn't produce them in time, Professors, the loss would be ours and yours."
Professor Anleni has other concerns:
"But the Hong Kong Eagle government in Hong Kong may not necessarily agree to the import of mainland medicines, or impose heavy taxes, which will also affect our profits."
Lin Sanqi embraced the two professors and said:
"Anthony, Theodore, we're allies now, and we're meant to make money together. You can't just rely on me to pay. So, at critical moments, you have to leverage your American strengths. After all, you're the fathers of the American Eagles."
Anthony whispered, "What do you need us to do?"
Lin Sanqi replied confidently:
"It's very simple. You will establish a tuberculosis drug sales company in the name of Harvard Medical School, and I will establish it in the name of Hong Kong Lingnan Hall. We will also set up the headquarters in Hong Kong.
As for how to convince the top management of Harvard Medical School to agree to let you use the university's name, that is something you need to consider.
Then, we used the excuse that under the name of the World Health Organization, you, Harvard Medical School and Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company, jointly carried out tuberculosis research in the mainland, built a new infectious disease hospital, and at the same time built a new factory to produce tuberculosis drugs.
There are two advantages to doing this. First, we are conducting this research under the banner of medicine, and since it is a subject organized by the World Health Organization, it does not involve politics and will not arouse the vigilance and opposition of governments.
Another thing is that both of you professors are internationally renowned scholars and vice presidents of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease. The key point is that you are Americans.
You Americans have always been domineering in doing things. Don't forget that the United States is the father of the Eagle Americans. Do you still have to look at the face of the Hong Kong Eagle government?
In addition, our company can also increase tax revenue and employment opportunities for the Hong Kong Eagle government. We can even bribe some Hong Kong officials. I believe they will not firmly object."
Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore thought the same thing.
During the months they spent in Hong Kong, they also investigated the commercial and pharmaceutical markets there.
As the only foreign trade port of the mainland, Hong Kong has registered many companies that engage in trade with the mainland.
The most typical example is that the mainland opened a China Resources company in Hong Kong, which represents the mainland government.
Many Hong Kong-based companies, such as Ho Hing Yip Tong Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Yourong Co., Ltd., also do business with the mainland.
Even British companies, such as the Hong Kong Emperor HSBC, have never cut off their business with the mainland. Most of the foreign exchange earned by the mainland goes through HSBC.
This shows that business between Hong Kong and the mainland is actually something that is tacitly agreed upon by all parties.
Unless it is particularly sensitive materials that need to be smuggled secretly, all other materials can be entered and exited openly through the Luohu Port and transported by rail.
Lin Sanqi continued to deceive:
"The pharmaceutical business is not on the embargo list of any country, and there is one most crucial point: the anti-tuberculosis drug I invented is the only drug in the world that can cure tuberculosis.
Such drugs benefit humanity and are beneficial to all countries and all people. The United States and the United States have no reason to oppose them. Do Americans and Americans no longer need to treat tuberculosis?
If politicians dare to block effective tuberculosis drugs from entering their domestic markets, their anger will be converted into votes, and they will teach those self-righteous politicians a lesson.
Anthony looked constipated:
"Lin, I remember you've never been to the United States, right? How come you know more about the United States and those blood-sucking politicians than we do?"
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that no one in this world knew American society better than him. He also knew that in another year, the US President Kennedy would be shot in the head. So he asked you, is this scary?
"By the way, Professors, we should have some preliminary results from our tuberculosis clinical validation project, right?"
Six months had passed since the mainland team arrived in Hong Kong. In order to save time, the rule formulated at that time was to look at the cure rate in the previous three months.
The Welsh hospital has 100 beds, and assum- ing that the beds are turned over four times a month, theoretically the treatment status of 1,200 patients should be recorded.
When it comes to work, Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore become much more serious:
"Let's go to the small conference room, gather everyone together, and have a meeting."
Small meeting room.
Ten medical team members from the mainland and six members of Professor Anthony's team sat together.
Jia Xuezhen, the head of the medical team, is giving a report:
"Director Lin, we have currently collected data on the treatment status of 1,200 patients. According to your original system, each patient will undergo a chest X-ray and sputum culture once a month.
So far, there are 820 pulmonary tuberculosis patients with normal X-rays, no tuberculosis bacteria detected in sputum, and who meet the clinical cure criteria.
There are 236 patients who are close to clinical recovery and have recovered well.
There were 140 patients who were not cured or showed no significant improvement, including 4 who died.
This data has been recognized by the WHO expert group, so we can now conclude that the cure rate of the anti-tuberculosis treatment we invented has reached 88%. "
Lin Sanqi was not very satisfied after hearing this:
"That's not right. The conditions in mainland hospitals are far inferior to those in Hong Kong. Yet, the cure rate in mainland China is 94%, but how come it's dropped to 88% in Hong Kong? What's the problem?" (End of this chapter)
