Chapter 753 Stealing the Key Lu Qingyang listened to Sun Qianjin's excited and nervous description on the other end of the phone and chuckled. There was no panic in his tone:
"This is a good thing. It shows that our medicine has truly received attention from the international community. If they want to see it, we should openly let them see it."
"Yes..." Sun Qianjin was still a little unsure.
"Rest assured, the efficacy of our medicine is undeniable. No one can deny this. If they want to visit, we will treat them according to the highest standards. The workshop hygiene, production records, quality inspection procedures, and everything visible will be impeccable. As for the core medicinal material pre-processing area and those key process parameters... they are classified as commercial secrets and are not allowed to visit according to the rules."
Lu Qingyang gave one last reminder: "Just remember one thing, we are neither humble nor overbearing. They are well-prepared experts, and we speak with strength. At this time, a moderate sense of mystery is actually the best protective color."
After receiving Lu Qingyang's reassurance, Sun Qianjin felt much more at ease.
He and Zhou Fang immediately organized a thorough cleaning and process drill for the entire factory, making sure that nothing on the surface was impeccable.
A few days later, Dr. White and his team arrived as scheduled.
Just as Sun Qianjin had expected, these experts were extremely discerning, their questions increasingly sharp and specialized, covering nearly every aspect of drug development and production, from traceability of medicinal material sources to extraction temperature control, from molecular structure analysis to clinical trial design.
Sun Qianjin and the factory's technical backbone responded appropriately according to Lu Qingyang's instructions.
The parts that should be displayed, such as the modern packaging workshop and the strict quality control laboratory, are open to the public.
As for the medicinal material pre-processing workshop and key extraction process involving core secrets, they politely but firmly declined on the grounds that "commercial secrets will not be disclosed."
When Dr. White specifically asked about the repair process of that key component, Sun Qianjin said casually:
"Oh, well, that's something I have to thank our old master who prefers not to be seen. As for the specific details... haha, it's hard to go into detail. Anyway, as long as the machine can run and the medicine can be produced smoothly, that's the bottom line."
The expert couldn't help but ask again, "Director Sun, your factory must have unique technologies for preserving and enhancing the active ingredients of medicinal materials. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to have in-depth academic exchanges."
Sun Qianjin followed Lu Qingyang's instructions and said with regret, "Thank you very much for your kindness. Our core team has set the rules so that the technology can benefit patients, but the core technical details will not be disclosed to the public. This is to protect our unique intellectual property rights. I believe you can understand."
Dr. White and his team left with full of doubts.
Although they were unable to glimpse the core technology, they realized that there must be a secret recipe behind this pharmaceutical factory.
A direct assault seems to be ineffective.
…
A week later, the newly recruited technicians of the pharmaceutical factory reported for work one after another.
The personnel department smacked their lips as they held the roster. "This time, we've recruited a ton of talented people. Even those who've studied abroad are here."
A gentle young man wearing black-framed glasses stood in the crowd and introduced himself as Chen Wen:
"I studied pharmaceutical machinery abroad and thought it was time to return and serve my country."
He subconsciously pushed up his glasses when he spoke, and his white shirt collar was starched straight, making him stand out in this crowd of gray-clad people.
In the pre-treatment workshop, Chen Wen smiled at the old man, Master Zhang, and said, "Your skill in drying herbs is amazing. Can I learn from you?"
Master Zhang was about to nod when he remembered Zhou Fang's special instructions. He laughed and spun the dustpan around: "Xiao Chen, go help me bring in that basket of Panax notoginseng outside."
When Chen Wen came back after moving the Panax notoginseng, he found that the workshop door was locked.
It seems that the people here are still wary of him, and it will take some time to gain their trust.
Chen Wen has been performing very well during this period, just to let the other party relax their vigilance and get the secrets here.
But what he didn't expect was that Master Zhang still didn't relax towards him.
Chen Wen felt that this was not acceptable and he had to take the initiative to attack.
This time, he specially ordered some good food from the cafeteria and bought a bottle of wine.
"Master, look at me, I've learned a lot from you. Thank you for your cultivation during this period. Let me buy you a drink."
Master Zhang squinted his eyes and glanced at the bottle of Fenjiu. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously twice, but he still said, "It's the factory rule that you don't drink on duty."
"You see, this is a little awkward, isn't it?"
Chen Wen opened the aluminum lunch box, and the aroma of braised pork mixed with the aroma of wine penetrated his nostrils. "Let's have a couple of drinks in the dormitory. It won't interfere with our work."
After three rounds of drinks, Master Zhang started talking, from the time he joined the team to the present time when he was teaching apprentices.
Chen Wen poured the wine attentively, but his eyes kept glancing at the key ring on the other person's waist.
Master Zhang drank more and more and started to feel drowsy.
When the snoring sound started, Chen Wen tiptoed to unlock the key chain.
Just as he was about to finish, the drunken Master Zhang suddenly muttered, "Pre-treatment...it needs to be steamed and dried first."
Chen Wen was so frightened that he froze in place, but he saw the old man turn over and start snoring again.
Finally got the key, Chen Wen was excited, this time he finally got it.
He took the key and tiptoed to open the door to find out what was going on.
Chen Wen held the cold key in his hand, sweat running down his face.
The key was inserted into the keyhole smoothly, and the "click" sound was particularly clear in the silent corridor.
He was ecstatic in his heart, all his disguises had finally paid off.
The door hinge creaked slightly, and Chen Wen dodged.
Before he could stand firmly, his whole body froze in place.
There stood another iron gate in front of him, with a general lock bigger than a fist hanging on it.
Chen Wen recalled that every time Master Zhang entered the workshop, there was always a technician by his side.
It seems that the technician has the key to open this door.
It seems that this trip tonight is ruined.
He was able to hang the key back on Master Zhang's waist.
Who knew that the drunk Master Zhang suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Xiao Chen, you performed well."
