Chapter 697: Traditional Chinese Medicine Has Not Been Verified
Lin Sanqi also knew the truth that if you don't sacrifice your child, you can't catch a wolf; if you don't sacrifice your wife, you can't catch a gangster, so he sighed:
"If I had known I could pay for it, I wouldn't have been so nervous. Why make it so formal? I even think we could have just invited this group of experts over in Peking and paid them and done with it."
Professor Anthony smiled and waved his hand:
"There are also unspoken rules for giving money. The necessary procedures must be followed. For example, clinical trial hospitals must be approved by the World Health Organization. There is a qualification issue involved.
The infectious disease hospital you opened in China is nothing more than a renovated dilapidated temple, with completely substandard hardware and software. Do you think such a hospital can gain international recognition?
Lin Sanqi shrugged and thought to himself that he really wanted to cooperate with Harvard Medical School to build a hospital.
"So how do we divide the 10 million yuan in PR expenses?"
Professor Anthony was also straightforward:
"Our two teams will each pay half. If you can't come up with the money right away, our Harvard team can cover it first and then offset it when the drug is produced in the future."
Although five million is a lot, it is easily affordable for Anthony's team, and they are also eager to "monetize the traffic", so the sooner the project is approved, the better.
Lin Sanqi really doesn't have $5 million on hand right now. Almost all of his money has been invested in the family business and handed over to his superiors.
He is not worried because he has ways to make quick money.
"Anthony, Theodore, I don't have $5 million in cash right now. But I have some diamonds. Could you introduce me to some American jewelers?"
"diamond?"
Anthony and Theodore blinked in confusion, wondering if China had diamond mines? Why was Lin Sanqi's diamonds so inexhaustible?
Professor Anthony reminded:
"Diamonds are indeed precious, but as far as I know, the bigger and purer the diamonds, the better. If they are just a few broken diamonds, or a small number, I'm afraid they won't fetch much, and it's not worth our flight to the United States."
Lin Sanqi pulled over his distinctive large backpack, rummaged through it, and then pulled out a velvet bag.
Then he casually opened it and shook it, and instantly there was a clattering sound on the table, and a bunch of diamonds fell out.
"Oh my God."
Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore both exclaimed, because there were already dozens of diamonds of various sizes on the table.
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, you guys just called me a country bumpkin, look at you now, you're definitely Texas redneck bumpkins.
"Professors, every diamond here is over 10 carats, and the largest one is 40 carats. Do you think I can get a good price for it?"
The two white men swallowed and nodded:
"These diamonds are worth tens of millions of dollars, Lin. You always do unexpected things. With so many diamonds, why would you still be a doctor?"
Lin Sanqi leaned back in his chair and said with a smile:
"Professors, I want to take these diamonds to the United States to sell, but you know I'm not familiar with the United States. I'm afraid I'll be bullied to death if I'm not familiar with the place.
So I have two ideas:
One is that if you two professors help me take the diamonds to the United States to sell them, I will give you a certain commission as a sales reward. After all, we are allies, and I can't let you help me for nothing, right?
Another idea is that I will sell these diamonds to you for $20 million. No matter how much you can sell them for, it is your business. Anyway, I will only take the part that I should take."
Professor Theodore coughed lightly:
"Lin, can we appraise these diamonds first?"
Lin Sanqi spread his hands and said, "Okay, but the diamond can't leave my eyes."
Professor Anthony pulled the already jealous Professor Theodore into an empty room and asked:
"Choose the first option or the second option?"
Theodore said firmly:
"Second option, I've just estimated in my mind that these diamonds are worth at least 30 million. If we hold on to them, their value will be even higher in a few years."
Professor Anthony also tends to prefer the second option because it can earn more, but there is a risk:
"Do you think these diamonds are real or fake?"
Theodore was anxious:
"It's absolutely true. This isn't the first time Lin has taken out diamonds. Do you remember when he made a bet with us in Peking and took out diamonds in front of all the leaders? None of the Chinese leaders were surprised.
What does this mean? It means that the Chinese government was aware of Lin Sanqi's diamonds. If they were fake, the Chinese government would definitely not allow it. Because they always value the reputation of the country and will never allow fakes to appear.
Besides, Lin just said that we can do any appraisal, which means there is no problem. You saw the diamond just now, and I don't believe there is such a counterfeit technology in the world. We are sure to make money from this."
Professor Anthony is not a saint. He only cares about money when traveling thousands of miles, otherwise he would not come to China.
"Okay, but the appraisal work must be done. This afternoon I'll contact Zhou Taisheng, Hong Kong's largest jeweler, and borrow their appraiser."
Lin Sanqi didn't care what the two Americans were discussing. The bait had already been thrown out, and he didn't believe that the Americans would not take the bait.
If we talk about the most greedy countries in the world, it must be the United States and the rednecks.
A piece of fat meat is right in front of their mouths, there is no reason for them not to take a bite.
Moreover, Lin Sanqi was very confident that these two guys would definitely choose the second option, which was to eat the diamonds and make a profit from the difference.
When the truth comes out decades later, it remains a question whether these two old guys are still alive.
Even if he is alive, what does it have to do with Lin Sanqi whether they are Americans or not?
The rule of a scumbag: never admit it even if you kill him.
Coming out of the small conference room, Lin Sanqi came to the doctor's office. Seeing all ten doctors were there, he clapped his hands.
"Come on, I'll treat you all to a nice meal at noon today. The doctors from the American team will stay on duty in the inpatient department."
When Feng Ruoqi and the others heard that the dean was treating them to a meal, they all stood up happily, except Jia Xuezhen, who looked a little depressed.
It was obvious that Lin Sanqi had just stood on the side of the Americans, and he was a little upset that he did not support the inclusion of traditional Chinese medicine in the "Clinical Guidelines".
Lin Sanqi also realized this, and he invited everyone to dinner just to resolve the misunderstanding. He didn't want his subordinates to think that he was a "traitor."
A high-end seafood restaurant in Central.
Lin Sanqi sat in the main seat, then pulled Jia Xuezhen to sit beside him, and then advised:
"Lao Jia, I know you're unhappy, so let's close the door and talk from the heart today.
The reason why I did not support you in including traditional Chinese medicine treatment in the "Clinical Guidelines" is due to several considerations. Do you think what I said makes sense?
First, I admit that traditional Chinese medicine is effective and can play a very good auxiliary and supplementary role.
But there is a problem with traditional Chinese medicine: it has not been verified in the laboratory.
For example, patients with pulmonary tuberculosis generally have symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, shortness of breath, fatigue, cough and sticky sputum. We use traditional Chinese medicines such as Kuntai Decoction, Zhibai Dihuang Pills, and Dabuyin Pills, and the effect is real.
But what are the active ingredients in these three herbs? Where do they act in the human body? Are there any toxic side effects? What are the drug dosages, threshold doses, therapeutic doses, maximum doses, toxic doses, and lethal doses?
Do we Chinese medicine practitioners do this? No, right? The dosages of Chinese medicine are given by doctors based on experience, usually in grams or coins.
This raises a question: if a master like my master can give precise medication, what about a Mongolian doctor? Can he do the same?
Once the "Clinical Guidelines" are released, doctors around the world will have to treat tuberculosis according to the recommendations in the guidelines. This will have legal effect. What the American doctor said about the need for rigor is absolutely correct.
Take Kuntai Decoction for example. It contains six herbs: Rehmannia root, Coptis chinensis, White Peony Root, Scutellaria baicalensis, Donkey-hide Gelatin, and Poria cocos. If you were to write it into the "Clinical Guidelines", what dosage would you recommend?
Are adults and children the same? Are fat people and thin people the same?
You can't just write in the "Guidelines" the dosage of Kuntai Decoction, and then in the side effects column, write that the adverse reactions are not yet clear?
If such imprecise and unscientific "Clinical Guidelines" were released and such drug instructions were shown to doctors from all over the world, people would laugh at them.
The prestige we have built up with great difficulty thanks to tuberculosis will soon be shattered and questioned by doctors from all over the world. This will further raise questions about whether we can actually cure tuberculosis.
Old Jia, everyone here, you are all doctors who studied abroad and have a background in Western medicine. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
