After meeting them, Li Chu finally understood what this pharmaceutical company, or rather, one of their research institutions, was up to.
They've set their sights on their project team.
The reason they approached them a year after the project was established was because they discovered that it was no accident that the project team, or rather Li Chu, could cure cancer without surgery using only traditional Chinese medicine treatments.
Although they had cured two patients from the United States before, those were isolated cases. They didn't know if there were any other patients. No matter how capable the intelligence personnel were, they didn't dare to be too arrogant in investigating whether there were any other cured cases.
But after the project team was established, almost all of this information became public.
Now they have no choice but to take it seriously.
Cancer is a disease that medical research institutions in many countries around the world are conducting research on. Surgical treatment is currently the only option.
But now there's a method that doesn't require surgery, only medication, and has a fairly high cure rate. How could these pharmaceutical companies not rush over to see if there's a possibility of cooperation?
In Li Chu's opinion, these people were too slow to react.
What he didn't know was that these pharmaceutical companies had already submitted their applications; it was just that the one that came today was the first to submit its application.
But when it comes to cooperation, it's still with the military's research institute. What are they thinking?
The reason the authorities approved their application and allowed them to visit was simply because they had substantial investments here.
The meeting ended in an hour. Li Chu had now mastered the essence of Tai Chi. He didn't say a single useful word throughout the meeting, but instead spent the better part of an hour explaining the basics of traditional Chinese medicine to them.
The hardship is for the translators in the Foreign Affairs Office, as many of the sentences in the basic TCM texts are in classical Chinese, and they have no idea how to translate them.
The other translator was also completely bewildered. This translator had studied abroad for five years, majoring in drug development, and was very familiar with the technical terms in that field. However, he didn't understand the terminology for Traditional Chinese Medicine! He could only sit there staring blankly at the other translator.
In the end, it was Li Yunli, who had worked with Li Chu for a period of time, who came to the rescue, and the meeting was able to proceed smoothly.
"Yunli, you're not doing a very good job as section chief. The professional skills of your staff need improvement. As a leader, you can't hide it from them. You need to help your colleagues improve together with you. That's how you demonstrate your leadership ability."
After seeing off the visiting pharmaceutical factory manager and his entourage, Li Chu looked at Li Yunli standing beside him and gave her a light but not heavy remark.
"Director, you are right. I will arrange time to give the comrades a proper training."
"Well, I don't need to be an expert, but I also can't let outsiders laugh at me."
"yes"
"Don't be too nervous. Is there anything else planned?"
"The director is gone."
"Okay, then I'll be going."
Watching Li Chu walk away, Li Yunli breathed a sigh of relief. The deputy director of the General Office who had been accompanying her, along with several other staff members, also breathed a sigh of relief.
They were genuinely worried for the translator who had almost ruined a diplomatic event.
"Section Chief Li, please submit your explanation as soon as possible. As for Xiao Liu, arrange for him to stay at the guesthouse and await further processing results."
"Understood, Deputy Director An."
After giving his instructions, the deputy director of the general office hurriedly walked into the office building. With such a big incident, he had to report it clearly to his superiors, who must have already received the news by now.
That's right, the person in the office on the third floor already knew, and what's worse, he didn't find out from his subordinates, but from the top leader.
"Hehe, our Director Li really knows how to create difficult problems for his subordinates."
"It wasn't really a difficult problem. Section Chief Li is capable of translating, so it's their lack of skill that caused this to happen. But this also serves as a reminder to us, so we can avoid making the same mistake next time."
"Yes, that's a good point. It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. I remember that Section Chief Li followed Director Li for a while back then. It seems that you can indeed learn a lot from following him."
"Director Li is known for his love of learning, and he also attaches great importance to the learning of those around him."
"Therefore, we should also take advantage of this event to organize a training session, and not only a training session, but also strengthen the assessment, so as to improve their initiative in learning."
"Sir, you don't mean to have Director Li train all the translators in the Foreign Affairs Office, do you?"
"That's impossible. How could our Director Li possibly manage? He seems to have nothing to do all day, but in reality, he's on call 24/7. Let's not bother him with this kind of thing."
"Isn't Section Chief Li perfectly capable? She seems to be fluent in several foreign languages. Let her be the training instructor for this session. We can also find people from external research institutes of traditional Chinese medicine and invite others from the External Relations Department. This training will be organized by you. Utilize three to six months to provide unified training for the foreign affairs personnel of the three headquarters and the agency. Just like Director Li said earlier, we don't need to be experts, but we can't be clueless either, right?"
"Yes, I'll get started on arranging it as soon as I get back."
"Yes, it's not just about medical and health care, but also other highly specialized fields. We'll expand into those areas and invite professionals from relevant departments to train our comrades. I'll make arrangements with these departments in advance, and the training documents will be issued later."
"OK"
...
Li Chu's words to Li Yunli before leaving, seemingly a criticism in front of everyone, were actually a way of protecting her.
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
If he had left without saying a word, Li Yunli would probably be in big trouble now. She'd better write a self-criticism first, instead of continuing to be a training teacher.
Sitting in his car, he began to think again about his meeting with the pharmaceutical company manager and his group.
These people had indeed made thorough preparations before coming, but they were somewhat confused by his string of difficult-to-translate classical Chinese, and in the end, they didn't talk about anything.
Even if the higher-ups agreed to collaborate on the research, he wouldn't agree.
If in the future, if a drug specifically targeting cancer or a certain type of cancer is developed using traditional Chinese medicine, you foreigners can just wait to buy the drug. As for wanting to participate in the research, that's just wishful thinking; that's his bottom line.
Just like the prescription for the medicine that man had taken, which he had submitted before, foreign companies could act as agents for its sale, but the prescription itself? That was confidential, and it was at the national level.
The car drove smoothly down the street, and he watched the scenery rushing past the window.
