The sun was shining brightly in Beijing on Tuesday morning, adding a touch of heat to the warm breeze of late spring.
Chu Yunfan once again came to the small courtyard filled with the fragrance of Chinese medicinal herbs, feeling indescribably irritated.
He looked at Chu Shiyu, who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, thinking about something, and interrupted him directly, saying, "Dad, Yu Zhiming's side still hasn't followed up on the purchase price of wild ginseng."
"I wonder if they've successfully developed an alternative medicine and are deliberately spreading false information to trick us?"
After a pause, Chu Yunfan blamed himself again: "This matter is also my fault. I was too greedy."
"If we didn't raise the price at the beginning, and directly sold the ginseng to Yu Zhiming when he wanted to buy it for one million, we could actually make a lot of money."
Chu Shiyu glanced at Chu Yunfan and criticized him, "Why are you panicking? You should stay calm when facing big things. You're just not there yet."
"Even if they do develop an alternative medicine, its efficacy will certainly be far inferior to that of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pill."
"So, Yu Zhiming and his people must have a great demand for this aged wild ginseng."
Chu Yunfan took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I know that we have almost monopolized the domestic high-end wild ginseng market. Even if Yu Zhiming and his side are determined not to take over, there will be wealthy families who will demand it one after another."
"We'll slowly ship out the products, plus use them for our own use, so the losses won't be too great. It's just that it might take another ten or eight years to recover the funds."
Chu Shiyu walked back and forth in the yard for a few steps and said slowly: "Your original plan was to force Yu Zhiming to cooperate with us by monopolizing wild ginseng."
"The result is that people just ignore me."
Chu Yunfan said with a look of shame, "We were wrong. Although we all believe that this advanced cancer treatment is of great significance and unique in the world, to Yu Zhiming, it is just one of several jobs he has on hand."
"Even if this job stops, the impact on Yu Zhiming will be the same."
"Therefore, our coercive invitation to cooperate has only deepened Yu Zhiming's resentment towards us."
Chu Shiyu said softly, "This is because we are used to going smoothly before, and we are used to solving problems with a condescending mindset."
"When the invitation failed, we resorted to trickery. Little did we know that they had the ability to ignore or even defeat us."
Chu Shiyu stopped, looked at Chu Yunfan, and said, "If you can't beat them, then join us. Let's have a big fight."
"Dad, what do you mean?" Chu Yunfan was a little confused.
Chu Shiyu pondered and said, "We can use these wild ginseng to establish a ginseng fund, make ginseng life-extending pills, and give them to cancer patients for free."
"Not only that, the cancer patient was also completely selected by Yu Zhiming and his family. Our only requirement was that the patient receive surgery and treatment at Jingcheng Hospital."
“We will give the best discount.”
Chu Yunfan understood a little and said, "Of the three million yuan in treatment costs announced by Yu Zhiming and his team, one and a half million yuan is for CAR-T treatment."
"Through our connections in the US with Kaiser Permanente and our long-term, large-scale partnership, maybe we can cut the price in half?"
"Adding the 300,000 yuan for the ginseng life-extending pills, and offering some discounts in other areas, we can reduce the treatment cost to 2 million yuan, or even lower."
"The difference in treatment costs of over one million yuan is enough to make most late-stage cancer patients, who pay out of pocket, strongly urge to come to our Jingcheng Hospital for treatment."
"Father, are you going to use the patients' strong voice to convince Yu Zhiming to establish a long-term partnership with us?"
Chu Shiyu nodded and said, "This is a real sum of over one million yuan. The patient won't be reluctant to pay. For Yu Zhiming, it's not a big loss."
"I think the possibility of cooperation is still very great."
Chu Yunfan said distressedly: "Dad, if this is the case, isn't our investment too large? Our investment in wild ginseng has already reached 270 million."
Chu Shiyu said solemnly, "Looking at the long term, if this thing is done, it will also be an effective nationwide publicity campaign."
"Nearly 300 million. As long as those branches can open up the market and keep patients coming back, they will only make a profit for two or three months."
Chu Yunfan nodded gently, then said thoughtfully: "Dad, since we are going to do this, I will go back and discuss it with the management team and plan it carefully."
"We can't afford to make any more mistakes."
After a pause, he continued, "Dad, that American laboratory is asking for money again, and they want $20 million right away. Because of the purchase of wild ginseng, the cash on the books is running low, and we need to use the emergency reserve fund."
Chu Yunfan couldn't help but complain again: "This research on genetic medicine is a bottomless pit."
“The main problem is that there’s no end in sight.”
Chu Shiyu also said with a headache: "I have invested so many years, I can only bite the bullet and continue to invest."
"Tell Yun Huang and the others in the United States that the money we saved through frugality and hard work should be kept under close watch in the laboratory. It should be spent wisely."
Chu Yunfan nodded in response...
Twelve o'clock noon, Zhizhen Building, Binhai Huashan Hospital.
Yu Zhiming returned to the soundproof office and was somewhat surprised to see Qing Ning and Zhou Mo setting up lunch together again.
"You're here again?"
Qing Ning straightened up and asked with a smile, "Don't you like me disturbing you?"
Yu Zhiming quickly explained, "Of course I came here because I like you, but I'm worried that you'll be tired. Also, it's raining outside today, and the roads are slippery and not very safe to drive on."
Qing Ning smiled and said, "I'm delivering food today, and it's just a side job. I'm mainly discussing cooperation matters with Sister Zhong Jing."
"She's a strong woman. If she can join the medicinal food company, it will be a great help."
Yu Zhiming grinned and said, "Isn't your brother also going to get involved in the management of the integrated herbal medicine company? If the two of them work together, aren't you afraid that something might happen in the future?"
Qing Ning nodded gently and said, "That's true. We have to be on guard against this possibility. I don't really have much confidence in my brother's ability to control himself when it comes to women..."
Yu Zhiming first went to the bathroom to free up some memory, then washed up briefly, then went to the reception area and sat down to have lunch with Qing Ning and Zhou Mo.
During the meal, Qing Ning told Yu Zhiming that Sisi took the kitten and the young cat to the veterinarian for a check-up and vaccination, and they have officially become members of Sisi's family.
Yu Zhiming said "oh", looked at Zhou Mo and asked, "How are the three little white rabbits?"
Zhou Mo replied sheepishly, "Well, I asked Auntie to go to the supermarket and buy some fresh carrots and green leafy vegetables. But after just a few days of feeding them, they got diarrhea and eventually died."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and criticized, "Being fed to death by you like this can be said to be a meaningless death."
"It would be better to let them stay in an animal testing center and sacrifice them for medical experiments."
Zhou Mo quietly defended himself, "I took good care of them. Who knew they were so fragile?"
Qing Ning changed the subject and asked, "Hey, is my cousin coming to check on my inexplicable dizziness this afternoon?"
"What time exactly?"
Zhou Mo replied: "The appointment is at four in the afternoon."
Qing Ning said regretfully, "It's getting late. I have to rush back to the herbal medicine company to take care of some things. I won't be able to know his test results right away."
She also warned, "Zhiming, don't hide anything about my uncle's examination, and don't lie about it."
"If there are problems caused by eating medicinal food, we will not shirk responsibility and will definitely take responsibility."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Qing Ning, you don't need to tell me this. I'm a complete and honest person when it comes to medicine. I wouldn't lie easily."
Zhou Mo couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Yu, you said you wouldn't lie easily. Does that mean you've lied too?"
Yu Zhiming replied frankly: "I have told white lies, and on some special occasions, I have also lied to punish evil and promote good."
"Zhou Mo, my moral integrity is definitely not as high as you think."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "That's perfect. If you become a moral saint, it would be surprising."
At this time, Duan Yi knocked on the door and came in.
She came up to Yu Zhiming with the medical records and reported, "All the test results for the eleven-year-old girl from yesterday are out, and it's confirmed to be systemic lupus erythematosus."
Yu Zhiming uttered a soft "oh" and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Where are the girl and her family?"
Duan Yi replied: "Come to the hospital this afternoon to get the test report."
Yu Zhiming said, "Tell them to come at 7 o'clock in the evening. I will ask Mr. Liu to examine the girl."
He noticed Duan Yi's joyful expression and warned her, "Don't be too happy too soon, especially don't give the little girl's family too much hope."
"Mr. Liu only has the possibility of curing certain types of lupus erythematosus."
"The little girl's situation may not be consistent."
"The important thing is that Mr. Liu's treatment is to fight poison with poison, which is very irritating to the body and has serious side effects. The little girl is only eleven years old, and her body is still developing."
"This treatment by Mr. Liu may not be suitable."
Duan Yi said optimistically, "The little girl's lupus is only in the early stages, so it's relatively easier to treat. That Elder Liu should have a prescription for mild cases, right?"
Yu Zhiming analyzed: "I hope so, but I don't think the hope is great."
"Most of those who come to see Elder Liu have no other options. They come with the hope of risking their lives. There should be very few with mild cases."
Yu Zhiming continued, "However, it's not a big deal if Mr. Liu can't treat it. The little girl's lupus is still in the early stages. With Western medicine, she should be fine within the next ten years."
"Ten years from now, with the rapid development of medical technology, there may be a proper cure."
Duan Yi said hopefully, "I still hope that Mr. Liu has a way to cure the little girl."
"Otherwise, from now on, the little girl and her family will have to live in fear and anxiety, fearing that the disease will flare up or worsen..."
