Chapter 1309
National Medical Exchange Conference, Li Aiguo's Hat Trick, Gold Medal, and the Id
The Ministry of Health attaches great importance to the opinions of its superiors and has indicated that it will organize relevant personnel and convene a meeting as soon as possible.
The National Conference on the Exchange of Medical and Health Technology Experience is about to be held.
The people in the Ministry of Health got to work immediately, working overtime to compile statistics on scientific and technological achievements before 1964, including those from 1964.
Since it was my first time doing this, I just used all my best old things!
We need to thoroughly sort out all the outstanding achievements left over from history.
Starting from the second year, everyone can work with less pressure and only evaluate the achievements of that year.
The staff and award judges work very hard.
But the thought that this national conference on medical and health technology experience exchange will become a grand event for the health sector is very exciting.
Before long, the recommended lists from various regions arrived at the final review stage like snowflakes.
The Ministry of Health is a large ministry with numerous hospitals of all sizes across the country and top medical schools under its jurisdiction, so the number of award recipients is naturally vast.
However, among the thick stack of final review lists, a series of names stood out.
"Li Aiguo's First Aid Techniques, Completed by: Li Aiguo"
Ibuprofen, completed by Li Aiguo
Sustained-release capsule technology, developed by Li Aiguo.
……
Looking at this almost ubiquitous list, the judges couldn't help but click their tongues and exchange bewildered glances.
The judges were stumped by the long list of names.
"Team leader, look at this... isn't Comrade Li Aiguo's achievement a bit too much?"
Should we try to coordinate this as appropriate?
After all, there are only a limited number of spots, so we have to leave some opportunities for other comrades.
The head of the review panel was a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Health.
Upon hearing this, he smiled and shook his head: "The ministry's opinion is very clear, it can be summed up in four words: seek truth from facts!"
As long as these results are genuine and can withstand scrutiny, then there's no problem.
"No, not at all. The value of these achievements is evident to all."
Any one of them, if picked out randomly, would be at the level of causing a national sensation or even the world; their importance is absolutely unquestionable.
"That's fine!" The team leader slammed his hand on the table, setting the tone.
"We cannot make false reports, but we absolutely cannot omit any reports!"
Furthermore, while Comrade Li Aiguo himself may not lack these awards, have you considered the other researchers involved in these projects?
Dropping any project would be a huge blow to those who work tirelessly behind the scenes!
The judges nodded in agreement.
Since the leader has spoken, and the results are indeed impeccable, then let's approve everything!
The team leader certainly couldn't tell the judges that the reason the award was presented at the National Medical and Health Technology Experience Exchange Conference was inextricably linked to Li Aiguo.
However, the team leader didn't see anything wrong with it. At any time, every industry needs a benchmark, a leader.
Having benchmarks is essential to motivating healthcare workers to continue their hard work.
Soon, the review panel reported the final list of winners to the top leaders of the ministry.
Subsequently, preparations for the National Conference on Medical and Health Technology Experience Exchange were launched in full swing.
These past few days, Li Aiguo has been quite relaxed. Since there's nothing important to do at the studio right now, he spends his days rehearsing the chorus with his colleagues from the Education Department and the Publicity Department.
Everything in the compound was as usual.
Yi Zhonghai is now a wheelchair rider, pushed to and from get off work by Qin Huairu every day, which has become a unique sight.
After taking the money, that old hag Jia Zhangshi disappeared somewhere, and we haven't seen a trace of her since.
But this is good, the yard will probably be quiet for a while now.
The only place that was still somewhat noisy was the home of Uncle Yan Bugui.
This time, Yu Li insisted on separating the family, but her third uncle and third aunt were unwilling.
Aunt Liu tried to mediate several times, but to no avail.
Yan Jiecheng was caught in the middle, suffering from both sides. He had no choice but to come and ask Li Aiguo to come and help persuade him.
Upon hearing this, Li Aiguo waved his hands repeatedly, directly refusing the offer.
What a joke! Even an upright official can't settle family disputes, and he'd rather not get involved in this mess.
As soon as Li Aiguo gets home, he starts writing books.
Wang Daikui's junk shop has now been completely transformed into a "used book collection station" by Li Aiguo.
Recently, Wang Daikui has been going from street to street, collecting hundreds of books of all kinds.
These books were converted into skill points, preparing me for future server domination.
The wind tunnel is almost finished; the next step is to develop large aircraft, which requires a massive amount of skill points.
In addition, Li Aiguo plans to continue developing new drugs at the pharmaceutical research institute, which also requires skill points.
Fortunately, Li Aiguo is no longer fighting alone; he now has a large group of helpers around him.
The studio has grown bigger and bigger, and has even gained fame abroad.
Li Aiguo didn't care about these things and was still very happy, because the greater the reputation, the more talent it could attract.
The next day was still a large-scale chorus rehearsal.
Li Aiguo took half a day off and made an appointment with Chen Xueru to visit Lao Mao's house in the morning.
I heard a while ago that Zhou Tao was pregnant, and Li Aiguo had been thinking about going to see her, but he just couldn't find the time before.
Now that I finally have some free time, I definitely have to catch up.
After picking up Chen Xueru and bringing some gifts, the two rode their motorcycle to Lao Mao's house, also bringing Xiao Hongsheng along.
This guy is closest to his godfather, and he's always thinking about how Old Cat will teach him how to shoot.
As a result, the family of three had just arrived at Lao Mao's house when they saw Lao Mao starting the jeep, preparing to take Zhou Tao to the hospital.
Seeing the two, he was overjoyed: "Aiguo, Xueru, you've come at just the right time! Zhou Tao is about to give birth, come with me to help her!"
Don't be fooled by Lao Mao and Zhou Tao; they don't even flinch when facing Dieter's gun.
But when it came to the crucial moment of childbirth, the two were completely at a loss.
Two seasoned secret agents, and they didn't even prepare the most basic maternity kit!
Seeing this, Chen Xueru was both amused and exasperated: "Brother Aiguo, you take the jeep to take Zhou Tao to the hospital first, and I'll ride my motorcycle to the department store to buy a maternity kit, and I'll be there soon!"
Chen Xueru rode her motorcycle to prepare the production kit, while Li Aiguo and Lao Mao got into the jeep and headed straight for Fuxing Hospital.
This Fuxing Hospital was originally named a hospital directly under the Ministry of Public Security. In 1958, it was transferred to Beijing City and its name was changed.
However, it remains the designated hospital for the weather station, located near Yuetan, in a secluded and safe location.
The group quickly arrived at Fuxing Hospital. Zhou Tao had already registered, and the doctor was well-prepared. After a check-up, the doctor took Zhou Tao into the delivery room.
Old Cat is getting a little anxious.
"Is patriotism going to cause any trouble?"
"What could possibly go wrong? The doctors at this hospital are all top-notch."
"That's true." Old Cat realized he had lost his composure and quickly composed himself.
They waited, and the two found a long bench in the corridor to sit down.
As for Xiao Hongsheng, this age is a chaotic stage, and even the hospital is no exception.
Old Cat wanted to smoke, but then thought better of it.
"By the way, Aiguo, the case of Liu Deliang and Zhao Juhua is almost solved now."
Upon hearing this, Li Aiguo perked up. The case had been going on for some time, and it was time for a result.
"Those two couldn't withstand the interrogation and confessed everything. They admitted that they were instructed and commissioned by Director Yang, which is why they resorted to desperate measures and framed you for selling opium." Old Cat sneered.
"In the end, it didn't work out, and afterwards I always felt like I was being watched." At this point, Lao Mao looked at Li Aiguo.
The two inexplicably felt that they were being watched, which must mean that someone with expertise was doing something behind their backs.
As for who this expert is, Old Cat knows perfectly well.
Especially that nail, which was caught by Zhou Ke from the railway police station.
Li Aiguo neither admitted nor denied it, but simply smiled faintly.
Old Cat laughed along and then said, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank that 'expert' who was watching them from behind."
This intense stare terrified the couple, who, in their desperation, tried to escape.
"And the contact person who helped them escape did indeed have some connections with the island."
However, he wasn't some worthless 'commissioner' at all; he was merely a low-level 'spy' planted during the defeat years ago.
Li Aiguo asked with some doubt: "So, this 'stab' really has a way to get people out of here?"
"He has absolutely no ability!" Old Cat scoffed, his face full of disdain. "He's just using the island's name to swindle money!"
Upon hearing this, Li Aiguo immediately realized what was going on and couldn't help but laugh.
Indeed, all those films and TV dramas in later generations that portrayed Dieter as living a life of luxury are actually complete fabrications!
The truth is, most Dieters lead a very difficult life.
Especially in recent years, with increasingly strict domestic investigations and a comprehensive net, the island has no way to send funds over.
These Dieters were unwilling to earn money through labor, so in order to survive, they could only resort to swindling and deception.
As for that "letter of appointment," it was actually just a stamp carved from a radish by that "nail" himself, which he casually stamped on to fool people!
"However, even if the certificate was forged by himself, that 'nail' still represents the island, which is extremely serious. He will probably be severely punished, and he might even be sentenced to death."
Old Cat added.
Li Aiguo clicked his tongue twice.
Liu Deliang and Zhao Juhua are really unlucky; they were sold out and then helped the seller count the money.
However, Li Aiguo showed them no sympathy whatsoever.
A venomous snake like this, lurking in the shadows and biting people, should be struck dead with a stick so it can never rise again!
"As for that Factory Director Yang, after he was taken in, he was very stubborn and insisted that he had never ordered the two people to do anything."
The investigation is still ongoing and is expected to take some time.
The old cat continued.
Li Aiguo nodded, indicating his understanding.
Director Yang is, after all, of a relatively high rank, and with a real high-ranking leader backing him up, it would indeed take a lot of effort to thoroughly investigate and uncover the truth.
"But don't worry, Director Yang won't get away this time."
Li Aiguo didn't pay any attention to Factory Director Yang.
If a dog that has already fallen into the water dares to climb back up, just kick it back down and drown it; there's nothing to fear.
At this moment, Chen Xueru arrived with the production kit.
However, since this was Zhou Tao's first pregnancy and she was relatively older, the delivery process was somewhat difficult and took a long time.
I had lunch at the hospital; it was steamed buns and dumplings, and the price wasn't expensive.
In the afternoon, the good news finally came: she had given birth to a baby girl, and Old Cat was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear and laughed heartily.
After the nurses and Lao Mao helped Zhou Tao to her ward and settled her in, Li Aiguo took Xiao Hongsheng over.
The first thing Xiao Hongsheng said when he saw his younger sister was, "She's so small."
Despite his complaints, Xiao Hongsheng still stretched out his finger with a curious and happy expression, wanting to tease his younger sister.
However, the baby was fast asleep with his eyes closed and didn't pay any attention to him.
Li Aiguo and Lao Mao both burst into laughter.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Chen Xueru stayed behind with Xiao Hongsheng to help, while Li Aiguo also planned to return to the locomotive depot.
Old Cat stopped Li Aiguo in the corridor: "Aiguo, I want to name the child Mao Tiejun, what do you think?"
Li Aiguo was silent for a moment, then said, "This name is indeed quite strong, but do you think it sounds good as a girl's name?"
Even the old cat felt there was something wrong with the name.
Upon hearing this, he said, "Aiguo, you are highly educated, could you name my daughter?"
Li Aiguo was indeed in a bit of a dilemma.
It took a lot of effort to name my three children.
"you sure?"
"Yes, yes, you're always number one in everything you do. Let's name the child so she can benefit from your fame."
Old Cat, this old materialist warrior, is now into these things too, haha.
Li Aiguo pondered for a moment and said, "Old Cat, you two are doing everything to keep everyone safe."
How about we name the child 'Anping'? His formal name is Mao Anping, and his nickname is Pingping."
Upon hearing this, Lao Mao's eyes lit up immediately. He looked at Li Aiguo with an expression that said, "No wonder he's a train driver, he's so cultured," and gave him a thumbs up, praising him repeatedly.
"Mao Anping, Pingping... Protect the homeland and defend the country, pacify the small island! Great! This name is excellent! Grand and meaningful!"
"If you're willing, that's fine," Li Aiguo said with a smile.
Seeing that it was time, Li Aiguo didn't linger. He rode his mountain bike back to the locomotive depot and sang a chorus all afternoon.
As evening approached, Zhou Ke also learned the good news that Lao Mao had a daughter. He immediately took his wife and child, along with gifts, to the hospital to visit her.
Other colleagues at the weather station who had shared life and death with him also rushed over after get off work.
The small ward was packed with people, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
The next day, the locomotive depot was still filled with loud singing, and the rehearsal for the chorus was in full swing.
Li Aiguo was singing loudly in the ranks when he suddenly received an urgent notice from Section Chief Xing, asking him to go to the office immediately.
Li Aiguo knew it was about a major meeting held by the Ministry of Health.
A few days ago, Wang Cheng came to talk to Li Aiguo, saying that the Ministry of Health had sent people down to collect materials on Li Aiguo.
As expected, the National Conference on Experience Exchange in Medical and Health Technology Revolution is about to be held in the Great Hall of the People!
This is currently the largest and highest-level medical and health event in China.
"Aiguo, this is the first time that people from our railway department have participated in such a conference. You'd better prepare well for tomorrow." Section Chief Xing was also beaming with joy.
He, a roughneck from the railway system, was able to attend meetings with those medical professors.
It's absolutely gorgeous.
"Don't worry, Section Chief."
The next morning, Li Aiguo changed into a clean gray Zhongshan suit, drove his SUV, and took Section Chief Xing, Director Zhang, and Wang Cheng to the Great Hall of the People.
Upon arriving at the square, I saw a huge red banner with white characters hanging high at the entrance of the Great Hall of the People.
"A warm welcome to medical professionals from all over the country to participate in the experience exchange conference!"
It is magnificent and imposing.
The atmosphere was solemn and respectful. After showing their special passes, the group was ushered inside the hall by staff.
At this moment, the spacious and grand hall was already packed with people, with no seats available.
Leaders from health bureaus across the country, top experts from major hospitals, doctors, and nurses gathered together, creating a spectacular scene.
Li Aiguo and his entourage were led directly to the front row to sit down.
The meeting officially began at 9:00 a.m., presided over by a senior leader from the Ministry of Health.
The conference covered a wide range of topics, from exchanging experiences in grassroots medical care across different regions to promoting the latest cutting-edge therapies nationwide.
Subsequently, leading medical experts from various regions took turns giving reports on stage.
Sitting in the audience, Li Aiguo immediately recognized several prominent figures in the medical field who would later become household names.
Professor Zhu, known as the father of pediatrics, pioneered the use of placental globulin for measles prevention and was the chief editor of the monumental pediatric book, "Practical Pediatrics."
Professor Wu, the founder of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, pioneered research in thoracic surgery and cardiovascular disease epidemiology in China.
Li Aiguo just sat there listening without saying a word, just trying to get acquainted with the public.
Several hours later, several prominent experts and professors finished speaking.
The meeting was drawing to a close.
The top leader of the Ministry of Health stepped back onto the podium, cleared his throat, and announced in a loud voice: "Next, we will announce the list of award recipients for outstanding contributions to the field of medicine and health this year!"
The Ministry of Health leader handed the list to Professor Zhu: "Old Zhu, you can announce it now."
The professors took the list and read it aloud:
"The list of winners this year is..."
"Professor Su Jingming of Beijing Medical University has made outstanding contributions to the improvement of trauma repair and plastic surgery."
"Professor Gu Zhongming of Shanghai People's Hospital has made outstanding contributions to the construction of the basic diagnosis and treatment system for pediatric surgery."
"Comrade Li Aiguo of Qianmen Locomotive Depot! He made extremely significant contributions to the development of the new antipyretic and analgesic drug 'ibuprofen'!"
"Comrade Li Aiguo of Qianmen Locomotive Depot! He has made outstanding contributions to the research and promotion of 'first aid techniques'!"
"Comrade Li Aiguo of Qianmen Locomotive Depot! He made pioneering contributions to the development of 'sustainable-release capsule technology'!"
Upon hearing this...
Even the most knowledgeable professors and doctors couldn't help but pick at their ears, their faces filled with disbelief.
what's the situation? !
Why are they all Li Aiguo?!
It's important to understand that just being on the list is an extraordinary achievement.
But this guy named Li Aiguo actually pulled off a hat trick, hitting three in a row?!
That's absolutely a critical hit!
Swish swish!
In an instant, hundreds of shocked, curious, and inquisitive gazes, like searchlights, were cast upon Li Aiguo, who was sitting in the first row.
After a brief silence.
Everyone finally came to their senses.
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
Section Chief Xing was also stunned. He had thought it was just a fun day, but Li Aiguo had actually won an award.
He was about to remind Li Aiguo when he saw the young man straighten his collar and walk up to him unhurriedly.
This guy is a natural at handling big events!
Li Aiguo was surprised that the top leader would come in person, so he quickly stood up.
"Comrade Patriot, there's no need to be so nervous."
A senior official from the Ministry of Health shook hands with Li Aiguo.
"I still want to thank you on behalf of patients all over the country!"
The ibuprofen you developed has been distributed to hospitals across the country, and the clinical feedback has been excellent, solving a major problem!
As he spoke, the senior leader of the Ministry of Health's expression turned serious.
He took a wooden box from the secretary, opened it, and inside was a gold medal.
The Golden Legend?
It's a gold medal!
Section Chief Xing and Director Zhang both became breathless.
Last time Li Aiguo received the award flag, and this time he received the gold medal. It seems he's aiming to sweep the awards.
"Comrade Patriot, in recognition of your indelible contributions to the medical field."
Today, on behalf of the Ministry of Health, I present you with this gold medal, which represents the highest honor!
I hope you will continue your efforts and reach even greater heights!
The senior leader solemnly pinned the gold medal on Li Aiguo's chest.
Even though Li Aiguo had lived two lives, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.
"Thank you for your trust and encouragement! I will definitely continue to contribute to the pharmaceutical industry!"
Wang Chenglai, sitting in the audience, had red eyes and was swallowing hard with envy.
A gold medal!
This is the highest award from the health department. Most people would be lucky to get to touch it even once in their entire career, but Li Aiguo got it at such a young age!
Moreover, as far as he knew, this gold medal had not been awarded since the first conference, due to the extremely strict selection criteria.
The audience erupted in prolonged applause once again.
Then, the senior leader looked at Wang Chenglai below the stage and took out a gleaming silver medal from another box.
"Comrade Wang Chenglai, you have done solid work and made outstanding contributions in assisting Comrade Li Aiguo in the development of ibuprofen..."
Wang Cheng was stunned, completely stunned.
He never expected that he, who had helped out, would win an award at this highest-level national conference!
It wasn't until Li Aiguo stepped off the stage and gave him a push with a smile that Wang Chenglai snapped out of his daze, stood up abruptly, and stumbled onto the stage.
"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"
Wang Chenglai was so excited that he was incoherent, and his hands trembled as he accepted the silver medal.
His restrained and awkward demeanor lacked the composure of a seasoned award winner like Li Aiguo.
In addition to individual awards, the Qianmen Locomotive Depot and the Pharmaceutical Research Institute also received the collective third-class merit award for their strong support of scientific research. Section Chief Xing and Director Zhang were overjoyed.
Li Aiguo then gave a speech, but he didn't say much, only sharing his understanding of the development of the domestic pharmaceutical industry.
After the awards ceremony, as is customary, there was a tea party.
As the recipient of the gold medal, Li Aiguo naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
The medical experts and professors all came over to chat, and Li Aiguo became a familiar face to them.
Just as they were having a lively conversation, Professor Zhang from the Institute of Biological Products came over with a smile to say hello.
Upon seeing Professor Zhang, Li Aiguo was filled with respect, for he was a key figure in the industrialization of penicillin.
The penicillin-producing strain W49-133 that they brought back significantly increased penicillin production, supporting half of the domestic penicillin market.
"Comrade Patriot, your speech on stage just now was excellent!"
I particularly agree with your point that 'we shouldn't blindly copy foreign technologies and equipment, but should combine them with our domestic raw materials and actual conditions'!
Li Aiguo smiled modestly: "Professor Zhang, you flatter me. These are just some shallow understandings of mine. I am really just a layman, showing off my limited knowledge in front of a master like you."
"Haha, if you're an amateur, then we old guys might as well not do this anymore!" Professor Zhang laughed heartily.
After laughing, Professor Zhang's expression turned serious, and he posed a question: "Comrade Patriot, since you have such a broad perspective, what are your thoughts on the current problem of penicillin resistance?"
Penicillin is indeed a revolutionary drug that has saved countless lives.
However, with the passage of time and widespread use, the problem of drug resistance began to emerge in full force.
In particular, the resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus has been soaring.
This situation exists both domestically and internationally.
The Institute of Biological Products is a research institute that primarily studies penicillin and antibacterial drugs.
Over the years, I have been racking my brains to find ways to improve, but with little success.
After a moment's thought, Li Aiguo said, "Professor Zhang, to be honest, I really don't understand the specific pharmacology of penicillin."
"In our railway system, many comrades have now realized that electric locomotives replacing outdated steam and diesel locomotives is an inevitable trend for future development."
Although our current technological conditions are not yet fully met.
However, the Railway Technology Research Institute has already begun planning ahead and tackling the relevant technical challenges.
Li Aiguo was not exaggerating; the research on electric locomotives at the Railway Technology Research Institute had not stopped in recent years.
They even transferred Chief Engineer Zhang there.
Li Aiguo paused, his gaze sweeping over the experts around him who were listening intently.
"The same applies to drugs! When a drug has an irreversible defect, why should we stick to one drug instead of trying a completely new one?"
Upon hearing this, a professor standing nearby immediately turned cold: "Comrade Patriot, your words are far too rash!"
Penicillin is a miracle drug for fighting bacteria. Over the years, it has made countless contributions and saved countless lives!
You're now so easily telling me to give up on it with a simple "let's try a different drug"?
Another professor frowned and chimed in, "Yes, foreign countries are currently focusing their efforts on researching improved penicillin, and they've reportedly made considerable progress. How can we give up so easily?"
Faced with the doubts, Li Aiguo simply smiled.
At this moment, Professor Zhao, who had been silent all along, suddenly lit up and slapped his thigh.
"Hey! Old Chen, Old Wang, don't rush to refute me. I think Comrade Aiguo's words make a lot of sense!"
"The fundamental reason why penicillin resistance has developed is that bacteria have evolved enzymes that destroy the β-lactam ring!"
However, the β-lactam ring is the basic core structure that enables penicillin to exert its bactericidal effect!
As long as this structure remains unchanged, bacteria will always find a way.
No matter how much effort we put in, it won't work.
At this point, Professor Zhao turned around and, in a very old-fashioned manner, cupped his hands in a respectful bow to Li Aiguo: "Comrade Aiguo, your words have truly awakened me! I have learned a great deal!"
"You're too kind. I was just saying it casually; it was just a lucky coincidence," Li Aiguo said with a smile and a nod.
In fact, Li Aiguo knew that in the history of the development of antibacterial drugs, although semi-synthetic penicillin was popular for a time, it was ultimately just a flash in the pan.
It took a huge amount of effort to develop, but after only a few years, the bacteria developed drug resistance.
Li Aiguo certainly couldn't just watch us fall into this trap.
Given the chance, he would definitely develop a real killer drug like cephalosporins!
However, one must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
Ibuprofen hasn't even been widely sold overseas yet.
Taking too big a step can lead to trouble; we should postpone the cephalosporin issue for now.
Before leaving at the end of the tea party, Professor Zhang found Li Aiguo increasingly pleasing to the eye and made a point of getting Li Aiguo's office phone number, expressing his intention to have more exchanges in the future.
The conference concluded successfully, and Director Zhang and Wang Cheng returned to the pharmaceutical institute with honor and high spirits to continue their research.
Li Aiguo also returned to the locomotive depot and continued the chorus.
Back at the courtyard house, Chen Xueru had already prepared dinner.
He was holding a bamboo stick in his hand, watching the three little ones doing their homework while they were hunched over the table.
Upon seeing Li Aiguo return, Miss Chen brought the food to the table.
"Wait, you won an award today, put it away." Li Aiguo took out the gold medal and handed it over.
"What kind of grand prize is it? And why are you being so mysterious... Oh my! Gold?!"
When Miss Chen opened the box, her eyes widened in surprise.
It was the first time she had ever seen such a large and shiny gold medal. She instinctively took it out and wanted to put it in her mouth and bite it to check its quality.
"Hey, hey, don't bother with that. It's pure gold, no doubt about it!" Li Aiguo quickly stopped her, joking with a smile.
That's right, this highest-level gold medal awarded by the Ministry of Health is made of pure gold, which is extremely rare these days!
The medal is also very grand and magnificent, with the eight characters "Promote the Heritage of Traditional Chinese Medicine" engraved in the center.
The outer ring is surrounded by exquisite patterns of wheat ears, gears, and other symbols representing the worker-peasant alliance.
The back is engraved with the words "Ministry of Health" and the year of issuance, making it a highly historical commemorative item.
"My God! This...this could definitely be a family heirloom!"
The young woman, Chen, blushed with excitement. Holding the medal, she ran happily into the inner room, found the most secluded box, and locked it up layer upon layer.
She clapped her hands, stood up, and blushed.
"Brother Aiguo... I went to help out at Lao Mao's house again today. His little Pingping is so adorable, so soft and cuddly... Let's have another baby."
Seeing Chen Xueru's expression, Li Aiguo knew what the girl was thinking.
He chuckled and closed the door.
As for those three little guys who are still struggling with their homework?
Children should mind their own business!
Just as Li Aiguo and Ms. Chen were busy trying to conceive,
The first batch of ibuprofen was delivered to the port city.
Distributors from all over the world had already gathered at Hextech's factory, their hearts filled with curiosity.
"I mean, Hextech was perfectly fine selling motorcycles and off-road vehicles, why are they suddenly venturing into selling medicine?"
The dealer from John Bull, carrying a walking stick, frowned deeply, his face full of suspicion.
"You don't understand, do you? The profit margin on medicine is huge! It's a much more lucrative business than selling flour!"
Since becoming wealthy, South American distributors have become more refined and even adopted the use of walking sticks.
However, the dealers around him, who considered themselves established capitalists, still looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a nouveau riche, their faces full of disdain.
"It's not that easy. The pharmaceutical industry is basically controlled by a few giants now," worried the distributor of the French pharmaceutical company.
"Yes, I heard that this time it's painkillers and fever medication."
The companies behind Bayer (a subsidiary of Dermatology) and Steril (a subsidiary of Pfizer) are giants that produce aspirin that dominates the market.
Is it even possible for us to take food from their mouths?
"Yes, these pharmaceutical giants have very high technological barriers and excellent relationships with major hospitals, which are incomparable to motorcycles and cars."
These distributors are all very worried.
These distributors are all shrewd people; everyone knows that selling medicine is profitable, but the key is that this money is hot potato and not easy to earn!
Actually, the profession of pharmaceutical sales representative has already emerged in other countries in this era.
Selling medicine is not like selling motorcycles.
You really can't sell them outside of pharmacies and hospitals.
Over the years, they have made a fortune with Hextech and have blind trust in the company.
They might not actually travel all that way to attend this "new drug launch."
Hopefully, this ibuprofen won't leave them empty-handed.
