Why is that?
"There are many reasons, but the main one is what we just mentioned: due to the medical principles involved, many aspects of traditional Chinese medicine are vague and cannot be precisely described. To give a simple example, our traditional Chinese medicine often relies on prescriptions, but these prescriptions need to be kept secret. So how can the medicine you produce pass clinical trials and be used by people?"
Wang Tianxiao said with a wry smile, "That is indeed the reason."
"You agree, but if you can't pass clinical trials, and the restrictions are a little stricter, then you won't be able to get it on the market. How can a drug make a profit if it can't be marketed? The pharmaceutical industry always needs funds to survive. If it can't be sold, then it's meaningless."
"I understand that. Of course, there's another problem: exporting traditional Chinese medicine is also very difficult, isn't it?"
“That’s right, you seem to know everything,” Manager Meng said helplessly. “Foreigners are meticulous in everything they do. You can’t provide the precise amount of raw materials needed, yet you keep talking about ‘a little’ or ‘a tiny amount’…”
The terminology itself is substandard, then you can't explain the medical principles clearly, talking about meridians and their hot and cold properties—people don't understand that. You haven't conducted toxicology tests, so others won't dare use it, and ultimately you can't even provide a prescription…”
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The requirements are different abroad. We Chinese often say that our culture is about being similar, while others look at things in a more specific and detailed way," Wang Tianxiao sighed.
Unbeknownst to him, Wang Tianxiao had said many things he shouldn't have said.
This contrast surprised Manager Meng even more.
She never expected that Wang Tianxiao would bring her one surprise after another, as if he could respond to anything she said.
"Here's what we'll do, Xiao Wang. When we get back with the medicinal herbs, since you'll be going with us to inspect them anyway, take the opportunity to chat with my brother. I'm sure you'll hit it off immediately."
"Great, it's an honor."
As the two were talking, the door opened, and Zhang Wenyuan and Mi Qingsong came in together.
"You two seem to be having a good chat. What are you talking about?" Mi Qingsong asked with a smile.
"Let's talk about the current state of traditional Chinese medicine."
“Sigh,” Mi Qingsong sighed, “Things are not what they used to be. The importance of traditional Chinese medicine is being increasingly overlooked. It all depends on what you say, since the future belongs to you young people.”
Wang Tianxiao smiled.
He was thinking about what Manager Meng had just said.
Her younger brother is looking for projects, so could we try to collaborate? He thought about this when he started growing medicinal herbs.
At first, it was just a thought.
He felt it was too far removed from his life, and that industry used to seem very prestigious to him, not something that could be easily participated in.
Now that we have professionals in the industry with us, we can give it a try on a small scale.
Let's talk about the specifics when we meet.
It's not something that can be thought of in a short time.
He is now focused on solving the problem of the medicinal herbs first, and then planning the next round of herb cultivation.
And there's his dream of raising livestock, but the sheepfold hasn't even been built yet.
Also, the fresh milk shop is just starting out, so we still need to pay more attention. Mi Xiaoqing and Li Guanping are both too honest. They are good at maintaining the status quo, but they lack the pioneering spirit and thinking. He must lead them forward and make it a habit.
There is still much to be done, and he shouldn't be in such a hurry to expand too much.
Let's take it easy for now.
.
"Bang bang bang".
Wang Tianxiao knocked on the door of Wu culture.
"Hey, are you asleep yet?"
"Oh, it's the boss. You're still awake. Please wait a moment, I'll come down and open the door for you."
After the door opened, Wu Wenhua hurriedly invited Wang Tianxiao inside, but Wang Tianxiao smiled and said, "Shall we go outside and talk?"
Wu Wenhua paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Go to the kitchen and see if there's any food left. Get a couple of beers, and let's sit on the rock and have a drink together."
"Okay, I remember there's some braised meat left this afternoon, I'll also make some cucumber salad."
"Okay, just make whatever you like."
Wang Tianxiao waited on the rock for a while, and then Wu Wenhua arrived with food and drinks.
A plate of braised pig's head, a plate of smashed cucumber, and two bottles of Yellow River beer.
"sit."
Wang Tianxiao pointed to the stone next to him.
Wu Wenhua sat down, looking at Wang Tianxiao with some trepidation, wondering why his boss had suddenly called him in for something that evening. Was it something he hadn't done well?
"Hey Culture Bro, how's work going lately?"
"Yeah, it's alright. The owners have taken such good care of our family. We feel right at home here; we're very comfortable and happy."
"That's good," Wang Tianxiao nodded, smiling at Wu Wenhua. "Brother Wenhua, we're about to harvest all the medicinal herbs covering the mountains."
"Yes, that's right. It should be ready in a few more days. It will be a big battle then."
"That's right, that's why I came to you to discuss something."
"Boss, why are you being so polite with me? You know what kind of person I am, Lao Wu. As long as it's something you ask me to do, I'll definitely do it well."
"I know you've been here for half a year now, and I'm very satisfied with your work attitude, so I'm thinking of giving you some more responsibilities..."
"What does the boss mean by 'burden'?"
"I want you to be in charge of the planting work here. That is to say, no matter how developed this place becomes in the future, you will be in charge of the whole process, including personnel arrangements, material allocation, and so on."
In other words, aside from money... I'll be in charge of the big money, but you'll be responsible for everything else. If we consider our planting operation as a business, then you're the actual person in charge of that business.
