Chapter 181 Bundle Sales

Wang Mengde has different ideas about the selling price of drugs.

The price was low before, sold at almost cost price, and the intention was to expand the market with the help of Chekovsky.

Things are different now.

President Lu said that recently many friendly countries have come to inquire about the drug.

He keenly realized that the situation might not be that simple. It was probably Comrade Chekovsky who spread the word of this drug to Big Brother, and it was known to relevant departments of some countries.

The magical effects must have impressed these people and made them crazy.

Then the relevant departments of these countries found some agents and purchased a batch from China.

As for why they don’t come here to buy directly, it is also because of the limitations of the current international environment. Many countries do not have direct diplomatic dialogue channels with China.

So, the price should be raised.

After all, this is for export, so the pricing must be calculated in combination with and with reference to the local prices of the user.

If the doors to these countries had not yet been completely opened, Wang Mengde would even want to raise the price by twenty or thirty times, in US dollars.

But he already had a plan in mind.

After a while, when this drug becomes popular abroad, the price will be raised again.

Anyway, this is an exclusive business, and it has a very strong appeal to both men and women.

He believes that the demand is definitely not small and the market will be very large.

"Will it be daunting for them to raise the price so high all at once?"

Dean Lu said with some concern.

If he could make more money, he would naturally agree with it.

The main concern is that the price is too high and these people cannot afford it.

“Dean, don’t worry about this, they will definitely buy it.

How effective is this pill? Haven't you tried it? Who can resist such temptation? "

Wang Mengde said confidently.

"Hey, that's true. Okay, I'll set the price according to what you said."

When Dean Lu thought about the efficacy of the medicine, he felt relieved.

Not to mention other people, even someone like him with very strong self-control couldn't control himself and wanted to take one every day.

Fortunately, he knew the importance of health preservation, so he did not take too many and instead took one pill every week.

The two people reached a preliminary consensus on the selling price. Of course, this still needs to be approved at the research institute meeting and then reported to the superiors for approval.

However, under normal circumstances, as long as they reach a consensus within the institute, their superiors will basically adopt it.

Then, the two discussed the production issues.

The factory building has not yet been built and the equipment has not been installed. For now, we can only find a spacious place temporarily and do the production manually.

Without Wang Mengde's suggestion, President Lu proposed to recruit a large number of temporary workers for production.

Anyway, in recent times, all parts of the country have been clearing out migrant populations from cities due to material shortages.

This year, it is expected that several million employees without household registration and their families will be cleared out.

As a key area, the capital city also cleared out hundreds of thousands of people in just one year.

At the same time, there are many young people who are unemployed in various regions, streets, towns, etc. in Beijing.

A large-scale movement to go to the countryside has not yet started. Only a small number of young people have responded to the policy and gone to remote rural areas, while most of them remain in the cities.

These people have nothing to do every day, hang out on the streets and are prone to getting into trouble.

If they could be recruited as temporary workers, the streets and neighborhood committees would definitely be happy to do so and would actively cooperate.

A salary of ten or twenty yuan a month can allow these young people to work steadily and create huge labor value for the country.

Anyway, making pills does not require much technical skills due to the many steps involved. With the guidance of a professional, you can get the hang of it in a few days.

By using the human wave tactic, I believe that we can produce a large number of pills in a short period of time to meet customer needs.

All the pills produced are exported abroad, with only a small amount kept in the country for "clinical" trials.

After finishing the conversation, Wang Mengde was about to get up and go back, but Dean Lu smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Comrade Wang Mengde, don't rush away. There is one more thing. We need to give the pills we produce a name. Do you have any suggestions?"

He still remembered the very appropriate names Wang Mengde had given him before, "Barefoot Doctor Manual" and "Barefoot Doctor".

So I asked out of habit.

As for naming this pill, Wang Mengde quickly declined, saying, "Dean, please come up with the name."

He is a bad namer.

The last time he named the manual, it was because he had the memories of his previous life and could use them directly.

Seeing his firm attitude, Dean Lu stopped forcing him and planned to think of a name himself later.

Coming out of Dean Lu’s office.

Wang Mengde did not return to his office, but went to find Pu Lao first.

"That's the situation, sir."

Holding a cup of hot tea, he told everything that had happened in the past few days.

After listening to his introduction, Pu Lao narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly said: "Meng De, since it was developed accidentally, let it be. In the future, try not to focus on it.

The right thing to do is to study more drugs like the "Quick Action Heart Pills". After all, drugs that help with sexual intercourse are not good to say, and they will damage your reputation in the future."

In the eyes of doctors of his generation, researching drugs that can enhance sexual pleasure is not the right way to go.

The only thing a doctor should do is to develop treatments for difficult and complicated diseases.

Wang Mengde is his successor, and is supposed to inherit and carry forward his lineage. Therefore, he hopes that this disciple is perfect in every aspect.

"Yes, sir."

After agreeing, he continued, "Sir, in addition to continuing to lead in-depth research on hepatitis B vaccines, I am also going to start researching treatments for malaria."

The research on blood-borne hepatitis B vaccine has come to an end after a few papers were published a few days ago.

They are not going to continue wasting time and energy because the blood-borne hepatitis B vaccine is destined to not be promoted on a large scale because it has too many limitations.

From now on, we will only conduct research on gene editing technology and strive to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Only when a breakthrough is made can the hepatitis B vaccine be promoted on a large scale.

As for now, it can only be promoted on a small scale and clinical trials can be conducted.

He had also planned to study methods to treat malaria a long time ago. When Qian Dayong returned from Southeast Asia after aid work, the three of them talked about the four major infectious diseases in the area.

Malaria is one of them. This disease is not only widely present in southern China, but also very common all over the world.

Once the research is successful, it will be another Nobel Prize-winning achievement.

By then, you will gain both fame and fortune.

"A cure for malaria?"

Pu Lao said in surprise.

He didn't expect that this disciple would actually go after this 'tough guy'.

Malaria has been prevalent in southern China since ancient times.

Over thousands of years, it has taken countless lives. Unfortunately, no one in the medical field can conquer it.

He was a little worried that Wang Mengde would run into obstacles for a long time, which would dampen his ambition. But then he thought that his disciple had great luck and wisdom, and might be able to surprise him again.

So I started to offer some encouragement.

"Okay, you are ambitious, Meng De. Come to my house when you are free. I have encountered many cases of this disease in Sichuan before. During the treatment process, I recorded some cases. You can take them for reference.

There are also some of my own research insights and treatment concepts extracted from various ancient books. I hope they will be helpful to your research. "

Pu Lao said with a look of relief.

"Thank you, sir. These are exactly what I need right now."

Wang Mengde said happily.

Although he had ready-made experience from his previous life to refer to, he still hoped to take a new path.

Based on the experience of previous lives and the integration of various knowledge, research can make breakthroughs and reach a higher level.

Sunday.

morning.

After returning from Pu's home with the information, he was called to the backyard by the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

"Uncle, I brought a bottle of good wine."

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Liu Haizhong sitting leisurely on a chair, listening to the radio with his head shaking and humming a few lines.

"Meng De, you're here now, why bring any wine? I just asked Guangtian to go to the store to buy some Erguotou, which is enough for the two of us to drink."

When Liu Haizhong heard the voice, he quickly opened his eyes, stood up with difficulty, and said with a smile.

"Sit down and rest for a while. Your aunt will be ready soon."

Not long after, four dishes were placed on the table one after another.

A plate of fragrant scrambled eggs, the combination of golden eggs and green onions is particularly tempting.

A plate of canned pork, most of the meat inside is lean meat.

The remaining two are wild vegetables and pickles.

Don’t underestimate these dishes. In this day and age, there are not many families in the country who can afford to eat them on a regular basis.

Not to mention anything else, just take eggs for example. Since April this year, their supply to ordinary residents has been stopped.

Not to mention buying it, you can’t even find it on the market. Even if you have a grocery store, you can’t buy it.

Not to mention pork.

If it was before the winter New Year, it would be fine because a large number of live pigs would be on the market and pork would still be available.

After the Spring Festival, most of the time, even if you had a ticket, if you wanted to buy pork, you had to queue up in front of the vegetable market or grocery store the night before.

Just to grab the limited daily supply of pork.

Even so, the meat we were lucky enough to buy was mostly lean.

Also, as the weather gets warmer, pork becomes harder to find.

Also starting from this month, some areas in Beijing have had no supply of fresh meat for several days, and they could only put canned old meat on the market to replace fresh meat for the residents.

To get these canned meats, you need to collect several meat coupons together to exchange for one can or one box.

This is the case in the capital, not to mention other areas. Many people, especially those in rural areas, may only eat meat twice a year.

"Come on, Meng De, try the Red Star Erguotou I bought first, then finish this bottle and drink the wine you brought."

Liu Haizhong and Wang Mengde sat opposite each other.

There were only the two of them at the dinner table. Auntie, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangqi were not allowed to sit at the table. Each of them took their rice bowls, picked up a few pieces of food with chopsticks, and went to the bedroom or outside the door to eat.

After drinking a glass of wine, Wang Mengde picked up the chopsticks, but instead of picking up the canned pork, he picked up a piece of wild vegetables and put it in his mouth.

These wild vegetables were dug up by an old lady yesterday afternoon. She ran to a faraway place and took a lot of effort.

The energy she consumed just walking back and forth was much more than this plate of wild vegetables.

It's obviously a loss.

"Meng De, try the scrambled eggs. Your aunt's scrambled eggs are the best."

Liu Haizhong kept urging Wang Mengde to pick up some food, and especially recommended the plate of scrambled eggs.

"Yeah, it's really delicious."

After taking a bite of scrambled eggs, Wang Mengde nodded and praised.

The aunt really has some unique skills.

After a few drinks, Liu Haizhong started to talk. His face was red and his mouth was full of resentment: "Meng De, you said I want to be a leader in the steel mill, why is it so difficult?"

"Uncle, what's so good about being a leader? Not only is it exhausting, but it's also thankless, and the money you earn isn't necessarily much more than a worker."

"Well, in my life till now, I have only one wish, which is to get a job in a steel mill.

By the way, Meng De, you usually know a lot of leaders. Do you know any leaders in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill? If so, please help me make a connection and introduce them to you. "

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong looked at him expectantly.

The neighbors nearby all know that Wang Mengde knows a lot of leaders.

Every year, many people drive to visit him and give him some rare things.

"Uncle, I don't know any leader at the Red Star Steel Mill yet."

Wang Mengde declined politely.

In fact, he knew several leaders of the steel rolling mill and was very familiar with them.

But he was unwilling to help Liu Haizhong.

In the original drama, after Lao Liu came to power, he started to bully people in various ways, even those in the courtyard were not spared.

With this kind of character, he would not be willing to "aid the tyrant".

Hearing him say this, Liu Haizhong's face suddenly showed disappointment.

the end of April.

That day, Wang Mengde returned to the research institute from the internal medicine clinic of Guang'anmen Hospital. As soon as he entered the gate, he happened to meet President Lu coming in from outside in a car.

After signaling the driver to stop the car and getting out, Dean Lu looked excited.

“Comrade Wang Mengde, good news.

The 'Palace Emperor Pills' produced by our affiliated pharmaceutical factory are selling like hot cakes. The supply is simply insufficient to meet the demand. Every day when they are produced, people block the factory gate and take them away."

'Palace Emperor Pills' is the name he gave to the pills, and the metaphor is self-evident.

The so-called factory was just a house of a landlord. The family had moved away before liberation, and it was now temporarily used as a place to produce pills.

Hundreds of workers are working in three shifts, busy with mass production day and night.

"Dean, then expand the scale of production. We have plenty of workers anyway, so strike while the iron is hot and earn more foreign exchange."

"Yes, I thought so too. I have just reported this to my superiors, and they have agreed."

Dean Lu smiled and said, "Unfortunately, our 'Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pills' are not selling very well overseas. They do not approve of this medicine."

"If you don't agree, then sell it in bundles."

Wang Mengde said without hesitation.

"What is bundled sales?" Dean Lu asked hurriedly.
