Chapter 67 Arrogant Westerners Huirui Pharmaceuticals Longguo Branch. The branch's Longguo headquarters is located in the most luxurious urban area of Guangzhou, in an independent high-end office building. The entire building has floor-to-ceiling windows, and overall silver-gray walls and floors, giving it a full sense of technology. Ye Haiwen was on his way to the president's office. Today, one of his employees told him what happened on the Internet. After Ye Haiwen checked Douyin, he realized that so many things had happened in the domestic market recently. Especially in the past few days. Yinhai Pharmaceutical actually announced that it has invented a new specific drug for leukemia! Ye Haiwen was shocked. Gleevec is one of the most important proprietary drugs of Phinox. If it is squeezed out of the market, it will definitely be a major loss for Phinox! Ye Haiwen came to the office door with the word CEO on it and knocked. A voice with a heavy Western accent came from inside: "Come in."
Ye Haiwen opened the door and went in. Nelson, CEO of Huirui Pharmaceuticals Longguo District, was leisurely holding a wine glass and tasting red wine. When he saw Ye Haiwen come in, he shook the glass. "Ye, would you like a drink?" "No, Mr. Nelson, there is something I must tell you." In sharp contrast to Ye Haiwen's panic, Nelson, sitting in his office chair, was calm and listened quietly to what Ye Haiwen said. "Recently, a pharmaceutical company in Haicheng announced that it has developed a special drug for leukemia, which is effective for both chronic myeloid leukemia and acute leukemia. I am worried that it may have an impact on our Gleevec." Hearing this, Nelson's emotions remained calm and he didn't even stop drinking the red wine. "Ye, I have to say that you Dragon people just don't know how to enjoy life. You actually refused such a mellow wine!" "Does he have a patent? What compound is it? Has he infringed on our intellectual property rights?" Ye Haiwen was stunned. He thought Nelson was too arrogant. When it comes to Chinese inventions, the first thing that comes to mind is either plagiarism or infringement. But he didn't dare say it directly. "There is no patent and no infringement. It is not a compound, but a traditional Chinese medicine." Nelson sneered and said "oh". "Ye, do you have anything else to say? If not, please don't bother me." Ye Haiwen was worried: "Mr. Nelson, shouldn't we take any measures? This drug is cheap and more effective than ours. If we do nothing, this drug may have a significant impact on the sales of our Gleevec! Even if it is exported overseas, it will seize our global market!" "Ye, what's the idiom in your Dragon Country? You are just worrying about nothing." "How can the grass and bark of the Dragon Kingdom cure leukemia? That's impossible."
Nelson shook his head. "But this drug has passed the national medicine approval, and has undergone three rounds of human trials without any problems. It is now ready to be launched on the market!" Ye Haiwen was still trying hard to explain. He didn't know how to explain to this foreign CEO that Dragon Country's standards were just as strict as those overseas, and were even stricter. Of course, this is also the change in the past ten years, but Nelson's impression of Dragon Country seems to still remain in the past ten years. They have turned a blind eye to the changes in Longguo over the past decade. But this seems to be normal. Many Westerners have such fixed ideas. They are too influenced by Western media. Even after Nelson came to Longguo to work and witnessed the advancement and development of Guangzhou, this concept did not change much. Nelson put down his glass and looked at Ye Haiwen. "Ye, Dragon Country's Hanxin also passed the official test that year. What was the result?" This sentence left Ye Haiwen speechless. The Hanxin incident was indeed a shame for Longguo, but how many years ago did that happen? "Ye, you are excellent, but your horizons are not broad enough. When you reach a higher level, you will have different views on many issues." Seeing that Ye Haiwen didn't say anything, Nelson thought that Ye Haiwen was convinced by his words, and he continued to "teach" Ye Haiwen in a condescending attitude. "You Dragon people sometimes speak in exaggerated ways, just like 90% of your advertisements are false propaganda. You know this better than me, right?" "Think about it, if the pharmaceutical company you mentioned really produced a drug that can treat acute leukemia, they would have won the Nobel Prize by now. Did they win it?" "They didn't win any awards, did they? So, get back to work." "Wouldn't it be nice to finish today's work as soon as possible and go home early to have a party?" After listening to Nelson's words, Ye Haiwen felt that this man was extremely arrogant. He really couldn't refute the advertising issue, but that was a press conference, not an advertisement! Is it possible that Yinhai Pharmaceutical is fake? Ye Haiwen found it unlikely. The information about Yinhai Pharmaceutical that he found on the Internet came from multiple sources, including the police, drug regulators, patients, and netizens, and none of these people said that Yinhai Pharmaceutical's drugs were fake. It's unlikely to be fake. Moreover, as far as he knew, the share price of Huaming Pharmaceutical was collapsing. All this shows that things may be very serious. But now Nelson doesn't take this matter seriously, and Ye Haiwen has no choice. He sighed inwardly and left the CEO's office. Cheng Ming accepted the new task. [Task (10): Guan Heng, the owner of Huichuntang in the old street of Nancheng District, has cultivated a special "Golden Shouwu". Please be sure to take it down. The reward is mission points.] [Explanation: Jin Shou Wu is a special medicinal material, one of the main ingredients in refining certain medicines. ]
Old Guan can also cultivate Chinese medicine? And he even cultivated special medicinal materials? Cheng Ming really didn't expect this. But it seems normal when you think about it. After all, Old Man Guan has been immersed in Chinese medicine for decades. But this old guy is not easy to deal with. Normally when I go to Huichuntang, I can hardly talk to him. Would he be willing to sell his special medicinal materials? Cheng Ming drove to the entrance of Huichun Hall. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Guan Jing processing medicinal materials in front of the counter, and the old man was also sorting some medicines. "Brother Ming, you're here!" Guan Jing smiled sweetly as soon as she saw Cheng Ming. Cheng Ming greeted old man Guan, and he just replied with a faint "hmm". What an old man, he really loves to put on airs. "Brother Ming, what medicinal herbs do you need today?" Guan Jing asked. Cheng Ming glanced at Old Man Guan, wondering what he should say in order to see the so-called "Golden Shouwu". Since it was cultivated by Old Man Guan himself, it should be in the backyard of his pharmacy. How can I find an excuse to enter the inner courtyard? After a while, Cheng Ming smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I'm not here to get herbs. I just happened to pass by here and I'm thirsty. Can I ask for a cup of tea?" Unexpectedly, Guan Jing was very happy. "Tea? No problem, I'll make some!" After saying that, Guan Jing took Cheng Ming through the Mingtang. Behind it was a small courtyard with various plants planted on both sides. There was only a small brick path in the middle for people to pass through. As soon as Cheng Shi came in, he was attracted by these plants. In the small courtyard of less than 20 square meters, there are so many plants planted, adding a lot of vitality to the yard. Directly after entering the courtyard is a hall, with an antique coffee table and chairs in the hall. "Brother Ming, please sit down and wait for a moment." As soon as Guan Jing came in, she started to boil water and make tea. She has a very delicate appearance, and today she was wearing a blue and white porcelain cheongsam. For a moment, she really looked like a tea girl in a teahouse. The difference is that Cha Mei is full of worldly air, while Guan Jing is more like an immortal. But Cheng Ming’s purpose of coming here today was not to see beautiful women. "I'll just take a look." He got up and walked back to the yard, looking for the location of the Polygonum multiflorum.
