We each have our own strengths and weaknesses, so shouldn't we leverage each other's strengths and compensate for each other's weaknesses, utilizing only what we excel at and continuously working to make up for our shortcomings? Wouldn't this be the only way to truly cooperate?
Meng Xiaoan couldn't help but nod.
He has been persuaded by Wang Tianxiao.
Yes, subconsciously he still felt that he was a graduate student, while the person in front of him, although he had some money and grew some medicinal herbs, was actually a rough man with little education.
I never considered that if I continued to act so arrogantly, why would anyone want to cooperate with me?
Who am I?
Yes, I should lower my stance and communicate with them properly.
This person seems to be the one I've been searching for all this time. If I miss this opportunity because of my arrogance, then I'll truly miss it forever.
I'm afraid we'll never find someone like that again.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head, revealing a shy smile, and returned to his true nature as a young man.
"You're right, I was just being modest..."
"It's true that I'm not humble enough, but there's no need to make a point of examining it. It's not wrong for young people to be a little arrogant, because it's precisely this arrogance that sparks their thinking and leads to the creation of all sorts of things. If young people are all lethargic and lifeless, that would be truly terrifying."
"Mr. Wang, when you talk, it always sounds like you're talking to an old man."
Haha, really?
"How can you say no? You keep calling us young people. We're only two or three years apart at most. You're making it sound like you're seventy or eighty years old."
Wang Tianxiao smiled.
"Alright, now that we've reached a consensus on a cooperative stance, tell me specifically what kind of support you want and what your plan is?"
Meng Xiaoan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up into Wang Tianxiao's eyes and began to explain his idea.
To be honest, there are many things that Wang Tianxiao doesn't really understand.
He didn't care about the whole process.
But what I'm really interested in is what the final outcome will be if Meng Xiaoan's plan is followed.
Through Meng Xiaoan's explanation, he roughly understood Meng Xiaoan's thoughts.
He actually wanted to study how to more effectively improve the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and to conduct basic research on the therapeutic mechanisms and toxicological properties of traditional Chinese medicine.
Wang Tianxiao knew about these things before, and he once thought that they were almost natural shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine, inherent defects that were basically impossible to change.
However, Meng Xiaoan believes that if these problems cannot be solved, then traditional Chinese medicine will not be able to truly enter the world.
The reason why Western medicines can enter our country is that they basically meet the certifications of various countries, especially the FDA, which is recognized by every country in the world.
Our traditional Chinese medicines are almost impossible to get certified, and I've explained the specific reasons before.
If this problem cannot be solved, let alone continuing to expand the influence of traditional Chinese medicine, the market for traditional Chinese medicine will likely continue to shrink until eventually no one trusts it anymore.
Then there's really no hope.
After listening, Wang Tianxiao was not particularly moved.
It's mainly about space.
This prevents him from directly seeing how to operate the system.
But he didn't want to discourage the child, so he patiently talked to him for a long time and finally came up with a compromise.
He was willing to sponsor an experimental base for Meng Xiaoan.
They will purchase equipment, facilities, instruments, etc., that Meng Xiaoan needs to facilitate his research.
In addition, he was willing to leave Meng Xiaoan a plot of land on the mountain for experimental purposes, so that he could grow all sorts of strange medicinal herbs to support his experiments.
He could give Meng Xiaoan a fixed salary, but the results of Meng Xiaoan's research must belong to him.
He found it difficult to determine whether Meng Xiaoan would achieve any results.
My younger son told me that researching medicinal herbs is an extremely expensive endeavor, and often results in complete financial ruin.
It is the riskiest project of all investments.
Many projects go through a series of studies, from initial research and approval to purification, toxicology, stability, and testing in mice, rats, and monkeys, before they can reach clinical trials. Only after meeting the requirements of Phase III clinical trials can a product be marketed and sold.
This process can take anywhere from a dozen years to several decades, if it's fast.
If you spend many years and a lot of manpower and resources to finally reach the clinical stage, but then problems arise due to toxicity or tolerability, then the project will be declared a failure.
More than a decade of investment has gone down the drain.
This is why small companies are basically unable to develop new drugs and instead focus on generic drugs.
In fact, our entire environment is basically based on generic drugs, and the probability of new drugs emerging is very small.
Knowing the problems in this industry, Wang Tianxiao felt that Meng Xiaoan was still too young.
You're oversimplifying the problem.
However, Wang Tianxiao was unwilling to completely disappoint Meng Xiaoan, so he took a step back, essentially providing him with a temporary research site so that he could try it out on a small scale first.
If I happen to achieve something and have enough funds at that time, I might be able to invest and give it a try.
It's okay if you don't succeed.
Anyway, he plans to develop Yangziling into a medicinal herb planting base, and in the later stages, he will have to establish a medicinal herb research and cultivation center.
It just so happens that it will come in handy.
From any perspective, spending a relatively low price to hire a graduate student specializing in traditional Chinese medicine is a worthwhile investment.
The two reached a temporary verbal agreement that once Meng Xiaoan received her degree certificate, she would make a list and plan of the necessary equipment and facilities, which Wang Tianxiao would then invest in and gradually build.
