Chapter 441 Qiao De wants to import life-saving pills and make money for the country
The promise was met with much discussion among the higher-ups, but they couldn't come up with any suitable demands.
After all, Jode said that their demands were only within acceptable limits.
To preserve the friendship between the two countries, they cannot ask for an exorbitant amount.
But even with what Jode said, they weren't sure where Jode's bottom line lay.
After completing his treatment, Qiao De had already spent a considerable amount of time in China and needed to return to Country D as soon as possible.
As a president of a country, Jode guessed why China had not made its request for so long. In the end, he advocated giving China the technology for the medium-density fiberboard production line and complete set of equipment.
He also sent people to investigate and learned that China was in contact with this production line and technology, but a deal had not yet been reached.
If China wanted to buy this production line, it would cost at least tens of thousands of M coins. Since Qiao De was willing to give the production line to them, China could save a large sum of money.
Qiao De's decisiveness shocked the upper management. They did not expect that after Jiang Ning treated him, he would directly give him a production line.
In reality, sending a production line was just a matter of Jode waving his hand.
After all, China has been discussing this for so long without reaching a conclusion, so why not just do what's best for them?
However, after delivering this production line, he still felt it wasn't enough.
His body is far superior to that of an assembly line, and he will need to come to China every three years for Dr. Jiang to treat him.
As he was leaving, he offered to pay Jiang Ning 500,000 M coins for her treatment.
The treatment cost of 500,000 M-currency was something that the upper echelons of China never expected. Doctor Jiang Ning had actually earned 500,000 foreign exchange for the country.
Foreign accounts must be processed through foreign exchange.
China is currently short of foreign currency reserves, and these 500,000 M-currencies can import quite a lot of goods.
Receiving such a large sum of money suddenly felt like a hot potato to Jiang Ning.
After all, she had refused the money that Mr. Hansen had brought back.
Qiao De said to Jiang Ning, "Dr. Jiang, you can cure my illness. In my eyes, your medical skills are worth this price. You should accept this money. Even if you don't want to accept it, I will still transfer it to your country."
Jiang Ning: "......."
This was the first time she had been forced to accept money.
After discussing the treatment costs, Qiao De suddenly brought up the life-saving pill again, "Dr. Jiang, I recently learned that you have developed a pill called the life-saving pill, which has amazing effects. I recently contacted the medical and health departments in our country. I wonder if there is any idea to export some of the drugs you have developed? Your drugs are so effective that they could save countless lives if necessary."
"Of course, I only want to buy finished medicines from China, I'm not shameless enough to want your prescription."
Jiang Ning chuckled when she heard his words; they sounded like he was implying something about someone.
When Qiao De wanted to import the traditional Chinese medicine she had developed, Jiang Ning did not immediately agree.
After all, the prescriptions for the drugs she developed had been listed as state secrets by the director of the General Hospital. The drugs were still hers, but she had to discuss the matter of importing them abroad with the director of the General Hospital, who would then report it to the state for a decision.
Jiang Ning didn't delay and immediately went to Dean Kong's office to tell him about it. Dean Kong then immediately called the General Hospital.
Previously, the life-saving pills were only used on soldiers in the military. Now that the patent has been granted, there is no longer any worry about them being stolen by malicious individuals, so they have been made available for civilian use.
The director of the general hospital was not too surprised to hear this; in fact, he had already thought about this issue before.
No matter how precious the medicine is, it is used to treat illnesses and save lives. Whether Chinese or foreign, it is a human life.
Upon hearing this news, the regional director immediately contacted the national health authorities and convened an emergency meeting.
Let's talk about their decision to export their medicines abroad.
After analyzing the pros and cons, everyone unanimously decided to export the medicine.
These drugs are not only effective in saving lives, but they also value another important aspect: they can earn foreign exchange for the country.
No one would disagree with a win-win situation.
When Qiao De learned that he could import several drugs, he was very happy and immediately signed a drug purchase contract with the Ministry of Health of China.
He now has complete confidence in Jiang Ning's medical skills.
The medical expenses paid by Qiao De were paid in foreign currency, and the money was directly transferred to Jiang Ning's account by the People's Bank of China.
This is no small sum of money; it's more than twice the price of the production line that the president of Country D gifted to us.
But no one dared to be envious, since Jiang Ning earned this money herself.
Qiao De was cured of his illness in China, and he said that the friendship between the two countries would last forever. If Jiang Ning went to Country D, she would be Qiao De's honored guest.
With the medical expenses for Qiao De's treatment in place, Jiang Ning received 1.4 million RMB.
Since taxes hadn't been collected in 1985, Jiang Ning received a solid 1.4 million yuan.
Having received such a large sum of money, Jiang Ning told Shen Mo about it.
Even though he knew his wife's abilities very well, the usually calm man was starting to lose his composure.
I never expected that the treatment given to the president of Country D would result in such a large sum of money for medical expenses.
Having received such a large sum of money, she originally thought she might lose herself in the enormous temptation of money and fame. But now that she has the money, she doesn't feel that she will lose her true self because of it.
Even without the large sum of money Qiao De gave her for treatment, the income Huang Xiaodong generated for her each year would be an astronomical figure in this era.
Looking at her account balance, she felt that the money was just a number to her.
Not long after Qiao De left, his personal commendation from above came down.
Jiang Ning treated the president of Country D, showcasing the strength of Chinese medicine to other countries. She also secured a rare production line for the country for free. Later, her medicine was exported abroad, earning money for the country.
This is a great achievement.
For this achievement, her superiors awarded her a first-class merit and a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
Therefore, when Jiang Ning's personal commendation was delivered to the family compound, the military region also prepared a banner and firecrackers for her.
Two banners were hung, one in front of the gate of the residential compound and the other at the entrance of their small courtyard.
Moreover, the military region even notified all military dependents in the compound in advance via loudspeaker.
So when Jiang Ning returned that day, the entire family compound seemed to know when she was coming back. The military dependents stood on both sides, watching her return to her own courtyard.
Jiang Ning's mind went blank as she looked at the grand spectacle.
She thought she had mastered the art of thick skin, but she overestimated her abilities.
Shen Mo hadn't expected the military region to make such a big fuss for his wife, so he immediately pulled the blushing woman home.
Moreover, Jiang Ning's treatment of the president of Country D was featured in the China Daily and on CCTV News, and she, as a doctor, has been dominating the headlines lately.
We just reported on the drugs she developed, and now she's treating the president of a country, bringing glory to China.
Her deeds are one after another.
It will probably take a long time for this hype to die down.
Jiang Ning was also glad that the internet was not as developed at that time, and that not everyone had a smartphone.
Not long after Qiao De returned to D country, the film crew shooting at the hospital also wrapped up filming.
After filming, Qiao Yunshan was about to return to Hong Kong. Before leaving, she made a special trip to Jiang Ning's clinic to say goodbye.
Qiao Yunshan helped Jiang Ting a lot with this matter, and Jiang Ning remembers this favor.
When Qiao Yunshan left, Jiang Ning told her that she could come to her anytime to redeem this favor.
With the film crew gone, the shooting location was vacated, and patients from the hospital could now move into the newly built building.
That day, Jiang Ning was making rounds with a patient's medical record book. She had just finished talking to a patient about his condition and hadn't even left the room yet.
Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü rushed over.
"Dr. Jiang, a patient who was released from prison has come to the hospital, and we have isolated him."
Upon hearing the word "isolation," Jiang Ning guessed that this disease was not simple.
As she walked out of the ward, she heard Dr. Lü say in a low voice with a solemn expression, "Dr. Jiang, according to the diagnosis of Dr. Liu and me, it is plague, the Black Death. The patient's lymph nodes are swollen and ulcerated, and he has been running a fever, as well as symptoms of chest pain, coughing up blood."
The Black Death was a plague, and plagues, in any era, are something that people fear.
Upon hearing from doctors Liu and Lü that it was the Black Death, and their analysis of the symptoms, Jiang Ning's expression turned serious.
Throughout Chinese history, the Black Death has also occurred, and the number of deaths from it is often in the tens of thousands.
The medical level of this era was not as advanced as it is in modern times, making it easier to control epidemics.
This is why the two doctors immediately sought out Jiang Ning after diagnosing the Black Death.
Dr. Lü said, "I also had someone notify the hospital director that when the patient came to the hospital, he passed through the lobby where there were the most people. I suggested that everyone in the hospital have a blood test done, and only let the patient leave if the test is negative."
Both Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü have been in the medical field for decades, and they are calm and composed when faced with problems.
Jiang Ning followed them to a ward with the door tightly closed. When they arrived, Dean Kong was already waiting at the door.
His face was very serious.
The sudden outbreak of the Black Death also caught Dean Kong off guard. He looked at Jiang Ning with hope and worry.
He had also experienced the Black Death once, when he was very young. Fortunately, a doctor from the military medical school controlled the epidemic, and the Black Death gradually disappeared.
He never imagined that the Black Death would reappear.
Although the Black Death was brought under control, no medicine to kill the plague bacterium was developed. The only methods to control the disease were isolation, masks, and burning of corpses.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, he immediately had the heavy protective suits put on the doctors.
After a long silence, Dean Kong finally couldn't help but speak up, "Dr. Jiang, are you confident in treating the Black Death?"
Jiang Ning saw the worry in Dean Kong's eyes.
In the present world, antibiotics for treating the Black Death are well-developed. Although they cannot completely cure the disease, they can effectively control it.
With current medical capabilities, antibiotics are no longer as effective as they are today.
But she did not intend to use antibiotics to deal with the Black Death.
After asking the question, Dean Kong said before Jiang Ning could speak, "Never mind, you'd better not answer me."
You can't say everything a doctor says.
He was afraid of hearing from Jiang Ning that she could be cured, but the final result was not as expected, and it would only affect her.
But I was also afraid of hearing from her that there was no cure.
With this outbreak of plague, it's unknown how many more people will succumb to this scourge.
