Chapter 162162 "Miracle Medicine" Appears Out of Nowhere &...
After knowing their life stories, Shu Jin looked at Ge Hong differently. She always felt that this girl had a bravery and resilience that was different from ordinary people. She was like a wild grass growing out of a crack in a rock. Although she was small and thin, she seemed to be able to burst out infinite power in her body.
Of course, she didn't dare to be too blunt. Ge Hong had the ability to read minds. If she were to tell Ge Hong that she knew about her tragic past, someone with a strong sense of self-esteem like her might not work with Jin Yue anymore.
She likes this person and she wants to keep her by her side forever.
Moreover, Jinyue decided to make some adjustments to her work. If she likes to fight against evil and protect the good by nature, why not let her be the head of the hospital security department? The hospital has not encountered any medical disputes or public security incidents so far, so currently the hospital does not have a security chief. The hospital office is in charge of the management, but the security guards they recruit do not have much fighting skills.
Shu Jinyue felt that at a time like this, a few strong and muscular security guards would be needed to make them feel safer, and Ge Hong could train them.
It was Ge Hong's experience that reminded Jin Yue. When she was in the meeting, she clearly required all doctors in all departments that if they encountered a girl under the age of fourteen who was pregnant or had an abortion, no matter if she was alone or accompanied by a so-called "parent" or "partner", they must report it compulsorily, and she would ask Director Li Xiangdong to come and deal with it.
While waiting for the police to arrive, Ge Hong stayed with the child.
There is no mandatory reporting system to prevent abuse of minors, but Jin Yue feels that he can do something within his ability in the hospital. Maybe, if Ge Hong helps more, he can also untie the knot in his heart?
As for Li Si, after taking three doses of Chinese medicine for calming the liver and suppressing yang, the numbness in his hands was mostly gone, and the burning sensation was almost gone. For this, he even came to thank Shu Jinyue specially.
Jin Yue was not polite. After accepting the things, he handed them to Ge Hong: "Sister Ge Hong, please keep them for me."
Ge Hong smiled, and Jin Yue knew that he had guessed correctly, because what Li Si sent was actually a bag of fried twisted dough sticks. The twisted dough sticks were small, golden, crispy and sweet, and covered with a few sesame seeds.
Ge Hong, a woman who looks like an expressionless and cold killer, actually has a sweet tooth. She likes sweet and oily things like this. Jin Yue has eaten with her many times and never noticed it. Li Si is really thoughtful.
But, if you have the intention, you should act quickly. The combined age of the two of you is almost eighty years old, and you only dare to express your concern secretly. I don’t know what you are trying to achieve. They are not biological siblings and they only lived together for three or four years when they were children. Is there anything to avoid?
Shu Jinyue was too lazy to even introduce them to each other, thinking to himself, let's see how long you two can hold it in. She has been very busy recently. The negotiations between Xu Duan and Brian have entered the final stage. Brian can't hold it back any longer. If she doesn't agree, he can't drag it on any longer.
"Brian called again today and agreed to our price."
Jin Yue raised his eyebrows, Xu Duan set the price too high, $498 for a box of medicine, which only contained 12 capsules, three times a day, which is the amount for 4 days. Generally, patients with mild symptoms will be almost cured after taking one box, but those with slightly more severe symptoms, or even severe cases, will need at least two or three boxes of medicine.
The unit price is nearly five hundred US dollars, which is very expensive, okay? If this amount is converted into Longguo currency, it will be even more. Shu Jinyue couldn't even imagine such a price. If any medicine in China was so expensive, she would definitely not prescribe it to her patients! What's more, it is a Chinese patent medicine. Even if it is made entirely of musk, bezoar, Fritillaria cirrhosa and Korean ginseng, it would not be sold so expensively for such a small capsule.
"Don't rush to say it's expensive. Let's sell some to Brian first and see how it works." Xu Duan sighed. He was not a black-hearted capitalist. "Let's see if we can cooperate with the Chinese group over there. We can provide free medicine to Chinese children from poor families."
Jin Yue nodded.
"I have one more condition."
Jin Yue looked at his calm appearance and remembered that he had been studying various policy documents these days, many of which were in English. "You want him to help us sell our drugs legally there?"
"Yes, it's harmless to sell him a few boxes in the early stage, but if you want to market it in large quantities later, the procedures must be complete and there must be no mistakes." Otherwise, you will lose everything there.
"I've done some research and found that the drug approval and marketing procedures in the two regions are different. It's indeed more complicated there, but their family spends money to support so many lawyers every year just to teach the rich how to exploit loopholes."
Jin Yue laughed, "Will he agree to it?"
"It doesn't matter, because your deeds will be in the newspaper soon."
***
Sure enough, within a few days, the front-page headline of the daily newspaper reported that a group of experts led by Shu Jinyue used traditional Chinese medicine to cure K virus pneumonia. As a result, when the K virus was raging all over the world, the children of Longguo, which had relatively backward medical conditions, were unharmed. The disease did not even spread, and the number of cases was controlled within double digits!
This event caused a huge sensation across the country.
The person selling western medicine said: It’s a lie, fake news! This must be news hyped up by Chinese medicine manufacturers! Everything is driven by profit!
Those who criticize traditional Chinese medicine say: Traditional Chinese medicine is feudal superstition, how can it really cure diseases? It’s an infectious disease that even Country A can’t cure!
People who believe in traditional Chinese medicine feel proud of it: I said that traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine can work, but at critical moments, our ancestors still have to take action.
Shu Jinyue is accustomed to these public opinion storms. She goes to work as usual. There are great scholars to debate for her anyway. She only needs to do her job well now. The number of outpatients and hospitalizations will naturally increase.
The broadcast of this news undoubtedly put a tight rein on the hesitant Brian. He called immediately and said that he would agree to all the conditions immediately as long as the deal could be completed as quickly as possible.
The illness of his child was indeed a reason, but for someone like him, profit was the biggest driving force. The reason why he was so persistent in trying to find Shu Jinyue's "magic medicine" and did not give up even after being rejected many times was that he actually saw a business opportunity.
He had witnessed the magic of the "three fingers" with his own eyes, and knew that the only medicine currently effective against the K virus was Shu Jinyue's medicine. In the capitalist world, having a special medicine means the greatest voice, which means an endless supply of immeasurable money.
And he could just take the initiative and get the agency rights of the special medicine when the group of hungry wolves around him had no time to react. In this way, all the special medicines that appear on the market in Country A will have to be sucked by him.
"So, he wants to get the agency rights?" Shu Jinyue was a little unsure about whether this was a good idea or not.
"Yes, I think we can agree to sign a three-year contract for the time being, and then run the business ourselves when the time is right."
Now that conditions in all aspects are not mature, it is also good to be a hands-off shopkeeper. The only difference is that you will earn less relatively speaking. But it is not good to prevent middlemen from making a profit from the price difference. If you do not allow them to make a profit, they will have to pay more energy and time, and by that time, the profit may not be as much as that of a hands-off shopkeeper.
They just said they wanted to agree, but then their old friend Sato Shizuka called them that night. She had also seen Shu Jinyue's story on the news and smelled the business opportunity, so she asked for the agency rights in Country A, as she also had businesses and industries in Country A.
On one side is Brian, who knows the place well and has a medical background to back him up; on the other side is Shizuka Sato, with whom they have worked for many years and whose character is trustworthy. Who should you choose? Before Jin Yue could think it through, she received several calls one after another. Some were from companies in Hong Kong, some were from Australia, some were from Country A, and some were from Country Y. They were all businessmen who came here for the scent.
She never knew that her hospital was so famous that so many foreigners would call the hospital.
Shu Jinyue once again realized the meaning of "Good wine needs no bush" and felt the charm of money.
When your medicine cannot help them make money, it is useless even if you cure 100,000 patients. But once it is profitable, they will dig out every corner for you.
When Brian saw this, he thought, no, the price has to go up; Sato Shizuka snorted coldly, she doesn’t know how to spend money? It was naturally impossible for others to withdraw on the spot, and they raised the agency price a lot. When Xu Duan felt it was acceptable, he suddenly did not choose a single one, but directly selected four companies. In addition to Brian and Sato Shizuka, he also selected two companies from Country Y and Hong Kong City.
…
Shu Jinyue didn't know how he did it. She had been very busy recently. After getting her students on the right track, she kept in mind what she had said to her second brother before the New Year.
She originally said she wanted to set up a foundation, but it was delayed because of the K virus. Recently, she put it on the agenda again - because she has money!
This time, the four agents directly made her earn a very large sum of money, which earned foreign exchange for the country. Hu Guizhi called her specifically to encourage her.
"What? You plan to use part of the profits for the foundation?" Saying "part" is conservative, it should be most of it. Hu Guizhi was a little surprised. She thought that Jin Yue would continue to expand the hospital and expand his business empire with this huge income.
She is very career-oriented and has professional ambitions, and she will not stop at her current scale. But she didn't. When she really needed money, she was willing to spend money on strangers.
"Yes, Aunt Hu, I have good news for you. The bone marrow transplant of the child with leukemia who was treated with donations from all the staff of our hospital last time was very successful in Haicheng. Without your generosity, I alone would not be able to do it."
She paid the lion's share, plus the 3,000 yuan from Ling's father, and the hospital staff contributed one or two yuan, five or eight yuan, and each contributed according to their ability. The trickles of money merged into rivers, lakes and seas, and the bald boy finally had a new life.
"The patient's mother said that his biological father abandoned him, but he has us as his new 'parents'. He also wants to study medicine in the future and become a white angel who saves lives and heals the wounded. You have no idea how happy I was when I heard this."
Hu Guizhi was silent. She felt that her understanding of Shu Jinyue seemed different from before. She was spreading Chinese medicine, introducing it to the world, and benefiting from it. But at the same time, she also let everyone know what real medical skills were.
"Medicine is a benevolent art, and you have done a great job."
Jin Yue smiled and said, "So, this time I plan to donate one million yuan to the foundation. I will then ask professionals to supervise it. At the same time, I will also give people from all walks of life an explanation of where the money was spent and how much was spent."
"Okay, I agree." Hu Guizhi said, "Then can I recommend a staff member to you?"
"Do you remember my granddaughter Yin Yin?"
Jin Yue certainly remembered the girl who suffered from restless legs syndrome at a young age because she inherited her mother's diabetes. She hadn't seen her for many years since Hu Guizhi was transferred to Beijing, but the thin figure of the little girl could still appear in her mind.
"She has been working in this field since she graduated from college last year. It's a good opportunity for her to come to you to practice. You can teach her. If she does something wrong, just tell her. If she doesn't listen, tell me and I will teach her a lesson."
Yinyin, she is Hu Xiaoyu's daughter. Even if she and Hu Guizhi didn't have a friendship, she is still Xu Duan's niece, and Xu Duan's niece is naturally also her niece.
"Don't worry, Yinyin is such an excellent child, I love her so much, it's just right that she's here, she can be a role model for these naughty kids in my family."
"Oh, don't say that. Children should be lively and cheerful."
"Aunt Hu, you haven't seen how naughty they are..." blah blah. The children grow up day by day and create a bunch of new problems for her every day. Fortunately, her family members are supportive, otherwise she would be exhausted just taking care of the children, and how could she pursue her career.
Hu Guizhi was laughing as she listened to all the complaints. Suddenly she asked, "How is your second brother's child?"
Look, although Aunt Hu never said it, this sentence is enough to prove that she knows Xiao Ping'an's background.
"He's fine. I thought he was too naughty when he was little and was worried that he would still be like that when he grows up. But he has become sensible this year. He does his homework well and knows how to help his family with housework. Last weekend, it was the birthday of the teacher Zhang who adopted him, and he used his own pocket money to buy her a gift." He still calls her "Mother Zhang."
Of course, my second brother and his wife also helped Teacher Zhang. Her child failed to get into high school or technical secondary school and could not get a job, so it was my second brother who arranged for him to work in the factory. Every year, my second sister-in-law would prepare a generous New Year gift and personally deliver it to Teacher Zhang's house with Xiao Ping'an.
"Well, your second brother and second sister-in-law, your whole family has educated him very well."
Shu Jinyue did not dare to take credit for it. She actually had no involvement in the child's education. Maybe the child was born with good character, and his second brother and sister-in-law educated him properly. Of course, Teacher Shu also made a great contribution by teaching the child's homework at home every day.
***
It was said that Jin Yue had planned to personally call and lobby those big bosses to donate to the foundation, but Xu Duan disagreed after listening, "You have to cherish your feathers. If you want to stand on a higher level in the future, you can't leave these unclear things behind."
He has lived through that era and knows that some things may not be a big deal at the time, but it is hard to predict what will happen if they are fermented by people with ulterior motives later.
Obviously, Jin Yue donated the bulk of the money, one million. One million was not a small sum in the 1990s. But if people really look into it in the future, no one will remember that she donated so much. They will only say that she was blinded by greed, enriched herself, and took advantage of the situation to ask for money from the patients back then. How ugly it would be if this were made public.
"But I can't help a few children with just my one million. The purpose of establishing a foundation is to build a pool. Water needs to be continuously injected and accumulated so that we can help as many patients in need as possible for a long time. If I am alone, the one million will be gone after I spend it. I have to wait until the next time I make a lot of money."
Only when there is outflow and inflow can the pool come alive.
"Moreover, I am not doing this on a whim for just one or two years. I hope that the foundation named after Grandma Hu can last for ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred years... until there are no more people who cannot afford medical treatment." Just like the book Grandma Hu left her, it will continue to shine forever in the long river of human history.
Xu Duan laughed, "Then I suggest you change your thinking."
"How do you change it? Tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."
Xu Duan laughed, "You, you also want to promote Chinese medicine, right? International Labor Day is coming soon, you can take this opportunity to hold a Chinese medicine culture symposium, or a cultural salon. Isn't this popular now? Invite as many people as possible, the more influential the better. On the one hand, you can truly promote Chinese medicine, and on the other hand, you can also appropriately talk about the original intention and difficulties of this foundation. Those who are interested will naturally donate, and if you really call those who don't donate, it will be embarrassing for everyone."
Jin Yue blushed, "So I'm still too embarrassed to call."
I thought it was too simple at first.
“You can hold such a symposium or cultural salon every year or every three years. You can prepare some simple Chinese medicine souvenirs for all the people you invite, or encourage the patients who have been rescued by the foundation to write a few letters to the foundation. Remember, sincerity is what touches people the most. Many people spend money not necessarily to get something, they just feel relieved that lives can be continued.”
What can’t people who can really donate large sums of money buy or eat? They just enjoy the emotional value.
For example, Shu Jinyue herself has spent a lot of money so far. In fact, this kind of help is not necessarily related to her career. Sometimes she would hesitate to buy a pair of better leather shoes. She would not buy new clothes for her children until they were no longer suitable. She never wastes anything at home. Her lunch is often the leftover food from the night before that she was reluctant to throw away...but the money she spends on helping others is thousands of times more than that.
"Can you explain clearly what supports you to donate so much money?"
Jin Yue shook his head. If he could explain it clearly, it was for utilitarian purposes.
“So, maybe among the people you invited, there are many kind-hearted people like you.”
Shu Jinyue suddenly realized and immediately assigned the matter to Anna's special assistant. Assistant An was very capable and immediately drew up a list within a few days. She screened it herself first to save Jin Yue from wasting work.
Jin Yue took a look and found some of the names a little unfamiliar, but Anna thoughtfully made notes at the back to help him find the time when Jin Yue saw the doctor and his main symptoms. Jin Yue could immediately remember what kind of person that person was. Generally speaking, she looks for people with a certain social status, influence and financial ability.
In the words of Shu Wenming, "Even if you want to plunder, you have to plunder the rich. What's the point of plundering the poor?"
Everyone laughed.
***
Just before the preparation of this symposium on Chinese medicine culture, a very strange thing suddenly happened in the entire country A.
The story begins with a child from a family in Beverly Manor. During the K virus pandemic, the child was already very ill. When the neighbors and relatives found out, they were all ready to attend the funeral. Suddenly, they heard that the child was better, and even held a party to celebrate the child's recovery.
Everyone was so surprised that they asked the child’s parents at the party whether praying in church had been helpful.
The master smiled mysteriously: "We used the magic capsule from Dragon Country."
A relative who is a social elite is angry: "How can you take medicine randomly? This is simply nonsense!"
"This is a special medicine, a special medicine for the K virus from Dragon Country."
Another social elite scoffed.
"My God, don't you know what kind of place Dragon Country is? It's poor and backward, and the people there are ignorant. Few of them have seen a car or an air conditioner. How dare you believe in their 'medical skills'? Oh dear, have you been controlled by them? Please tell me, have you taken their capsules? You know this kind of witchcraft can control a person's brain."
The child's parents were stunned by what they said. They didn't know how to refute it because they had never been to Long Country and didn't know whether the land was poor and backward. They had never met Long people and didn't know whether they were ignorant.
"But I can confirm that I didn't take the capsules, I'm fine and my baby is fine too."
The visitor kept talking, but as he continued to persuade people, he found that more and more people around him were using the magical little capsules. After using them, their children recovered, were discharged from the hospital, and were full of life again.
He ran around, trying to tell them not to be fooled. Even the most advanced biopharmaceutical companies in their country couldn't do anything about the virus, so how could Eastern witchcraft develop a specific medicine? Have they prayed to God?
But no matter how he persuaded or warned, no one listened to him, because everyone was not stupid. So many people had used it and recovered. Even Dr. Brian, the chief expert of Leo Clinic, had used it for more than a dozen children in his family. Could it be that their medical knowledge was not as good as yours, a half-baked one?
This "miracle medicine" that suddenly appeared must be used.
So, just a few days after Labor Day, Shu Jinyue heard Kang Yongxin "complaining": "It's really too busy. The workers can't stand working overtime every day."
"These A-country guys are too greedy. We've been working at full capacity for the past few months and it's still not enough for them to eat."
"I heard that on the black market over there, a box of medicine has been sold for seven or eight hundred dollars!"
"Some wealthy families are even more amazing. They actually stockpile dozens or even hundreds of boxes. According to the above benefits, they keep them for when they have a cold or fever. It's also very impressive to give them as gifts to others."
The corner of Shu Jinyue's mouth twitched.
"It will probably take some time for things to calm down. If things don't work out, just hire more people. We have a large shipment volume right now. Thank you for your hard work. I won't treat you unfairly."
Kang Yongxin smiled, "I'm not talking about the salary, I just think it's amazing. We used to buy their Western medicine. Remember penicillin? It was so hard to get in the first few decades that it became a miracle drug. But now, they are begging to buy our Chinese medicine. There are many people praising our Chinese medicine. There is even a trend among some young people to come to Long to learn medicine."
"Just the Chinese Medicine Colleges in Beijing and Haicheng have received at least 300 consultation calls in the past two months."
Shu Jinyue was shocked. Before this year, if a foreigner came to Longguo to study Chinese medicine at university, not only would they be laughed at by foreigners, but even some Longguo people themselves would laugh at them and ask if they had their heads stuck in the door.
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; the world is changing." And this year, the east wind is gradually catching up with the west wind.
What shocked Shu Jinyue even more was that according to statistics in the half month after Labor Day, the donations received by this cultural salon actually reached more than 8 million!
Anna's hands were shaking a little. "These are all, so many. Why are they so rich? I want to compete with these rich people!"
Shu Jinyue laughed more and more, "Okay, okay, let's see if the statistics are complete."
Anna flipped through it again. "Oh, that's not right. Why is there a phone number here? The note says you should call in person. The other party said he is willing to donate and plans to donate one million every year, but you need to call him in person, or ask a lady named Tian to call him."
Shu Jinyue: “…” Is there any need to say more? It must be Wang Matt, the greasy and cunning old man! !
"Then who is this Miss Tian..."
"It's okay, no need. I'll give him the injection myself. Of course I'll ask for money if he has it. If he's willing to donate, we'll accept it." Last year alone, Jin Yue treated many illnesses of his relatives, friends, and business partners, and every time they came, they were given priority to enjoy special number treatment. Isn't she being nice enough?
"Oh, by the way, there is another one here. He was the first person to donate to us on May Day. He donated 200,000 yuan in one go. He motivated everyone on the spot and everyone followed his example. He also sent you a handwritten thank-you letter, saying that he was an ordinary patient you had helped. But I saw that you were busy, so I mentioned it that day and forgot about it."
The more Shu Jin thought about it, it seemed to be true, but she had too many outpatient visits and had no time to pay attention to these things.
"What's your name?"
"Li Xiangyang." The key point is that his name is not on the list. He heard the news himself and found his way here.
Shu Jinyue suddenly remembered, wasn't this Xiao Lisao's younger brother, the perfumer who worked in the daily chemical factory back then?
Li Xiangdong said that after he recovered from his illness, he wrote a letter of complaint to report all the leadership of the daily chemical factory from top to bottom. Many problems were indeed found and many leaders were arrested. In addition, the daily chemical factory was not profitable to begin with, so it went bankrupt soon.
Then, Li Xiangyang bought the factory and turned it into a specialized perfume factory, producing only various perfumes. Because of their good smells and affordable prices, they became famous in several nearby provinces.
Shu Jinyue didn't like to use this thing, so he didn't know, but he had heard from his second sister-in-law many times that she had bought several models. Jinyue had smelled them and they all smelled very comfortable.
"Oh, by the way, he also gave you a little gift. He said it was a bottle of perfume, the first perfume produced by their factory. As long as he is here, this perfume will never stop being produced. The name is also very strange, something like 'Lihua'."
Xiang Lihua, the girl who gave him the few tenderness in the first half of his life, a girl who touched him deeply even though he had never met her.
