Chapter 226: The Driver and the Beijing Gene Research Institute
"Driving for the leader?"

He Shengwu asked in disbelief.

Originally, he was standing by and could only listen obediently, feeling bored and thinking about his own things.

Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law's friend actually asked him directly if he was willing to drive for his leader.

He was suddenly surprised and dazed.

In this era, driver is one of the eight major personnel and one of the best positions.

There is a saying that goes like this: stethoscope, steering wheel, chef, salesperson, these are some of the coolest professions of this era.

At that time, driver was a skilled worker.

Becoming a car driver is extremely difficult.

As a popular profession, there is an exaggerated saying: A horn blows and it's worth a fortune; a wheel turns and you wouldn't trade it for a county magistrate.

Of course, this refers to truck drivers who drive long distances.

Due to poor transportation and scarce supplies, riding a bicycle was a luxury and a very rare means of production.

Moreover, the threshold for becoming a driver is very high, as it is a special type of job.

Because they not only have to learn how to drive, but also how to repair and ride a bike.

Every driver would repair his own car, because in that era there were basically no auto repair shops, no 4S shops, and no rescue.

If the car breaks down on the way, you have to repair it yourself, so every driver is an expert in car repair.

Those who cannot repair cars or have poor repair skills are not qualified to be drivers.

At the same time, there were no training institutions. If one wanted to learn car repair techniques, one must first find a master that he liked and then follow him as an apprentice.

Only after learning car repair from a master for two years can you get a driver's license and become a co-pilot.

It was not like modern times, when you could learn by just touching the car even if you didn’t know anything.

Generally, you have to wash, clean and repair your car for two or three years before you have the opportunity to touch the steering wheel on an empty road or when the road conditions are good.

Drive a short distance first, and then let the master lead you.

This process basically takes five years before you can drive independently.

The three years that Dai Botao mentioned just now was naturally because of his face. Once He Shengwu decides to go, he will definitely find a master who will do his best to teach him the skills.

"Yeah, Xiao He, do you want to go?

Don't worry, I will find you a great instructor after you go there, and I guarantee that you will be able to drive independently in three years."

Dai Botao said with a smile.

When he first started interacting with Wang Mengde, he was mostly grateful.

After all, his wife and children were rescued by the other party, so it can be said that he saved his family.

Later, after slowly getting to know each other.

He had a new idea. Wang Mengde was too young, but his medical skills were already so good.

If another ten, eight, or even twenty years pass, they will become the current version of "Hua Tuo, Zhongjing, and Sun Shenxian".

By that time, if any of your family members or relatives or friends have any health problems, they will have a chance to receive treatment.

Another very important point is that people with such medical skills must have no ordinary people around them.

In addition, the 'Palace Emperor Pill' also gave him a great shock.

He made some special investigation these days and the result surprised him.

Although we are not part of the same system and did not get the specific amount, we heard from other sources that this drug was exported abroad and earned tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange each year.

Not only that, there is another medicine called "Gout Ling", which also generates foreign exchange income of 20 to 30 million US dollars a year.

All these add up to almost hundreds of millions.

That's why he will pay more attention to it.

But there was nothing in Wang Mengde's home that needed his help.

Just when he was worried, he suddenly found a sudden turn of events.

Through chatting, I keenly discovered that Wang Mengde's brother-in-law will graduate from junior high school in about a month.

I won’t continue my studies and I’m planning to find a job.

This gave him an opportunity.

"Brother-in-law."

He Shengwu really wanted to go, but he knew that he needed his brother-in-law's approval.

So she turned to her brother-in-law with a pleading look on her face.

"Haha, thank you, Brother Dai. Shengwu is too young and is at the age of being naughty. If he gets into trouble over there, I'll have to trouble you to take care of him."

Wang Mengde naturally saw through Dai Botao's thoughts, but he also had his own thoughts, so he went along with it and spoke.

Anyway, it's just a favor, so I'll just accept it.

We will have many days to spend together in the future, and helping each other and owing favors to each other is the way to get along with each other.

"Meng De, you are too polite."

Sure enough, after getting a satisfactory answer, Dai Botao was in a good mood and said with a smile.

After Dai Botao and Liang Mancang left.

Zhou Xiaoyan still felt like she was in a dream.

With just a few words, the job for his youngest son was arranged.

Or I could work in some powerful unit and drive for my boss in the future.

This is a good position, and many people would be vying for it.

The son-in-law's friend arranged it with just a few words, as if it were child's play.

Of course, she was not suspicious. After all, many of her son-in-law's friends were of high status and background. She had seen a plain-looking old man before.

I didn't take it seriously at first, but when I found out about it later, I was shocked.

I didn’t expect that the old man was actually a big leader.

"Meng De, your friend just helped you so much. How are you going to repay this favor in the future?"

Zhou Xiaoyan thought about it and then asked.

If it is an ordinary family and a favor, buying some rare nutritional products and sending them over would be enough.

But she was really worried about this kind of status and human relationships.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this.

Brother Dai and I have a special relationship. A few years ago, Shengnan and I were playing in the North Moat and saved his son.

Last year, I saved his wife and daughter in the hospital, and arranged a job for Shengwu. This favor is totally insignificant."

Wang Mengde smiled and comforted.

“So that’s the relationship.”

After listening to her son-in-law's explanation, Zhou Xiaoyan felt relieved.

For the life-saving grace, arranging a job for him is really not worth mentioning, and he saved the lives of a family of three.

It was not until three or four in the afternoon that Ran Xiaomei and He Shengnan returned home with their five children.

They played outside for most of the day and Yaya was so sleepy that she fell asleep.

When they heard that He Shengwu had been arranged a job as a driver in a good unit, they were very happy.

"Not bad, not bad, Shengwu, work hard in the future. In a few years, I will introduce you to a good-looking and capable partner."

Ran Xiaomei said with a smile. In fact, she wanted to introduce a partner to the eldest brother He Shengwen last year.

Unexpectedly, He Shengwen just met someone near his home and they got together, which resulted in her not being able to perform to her full potential.

"Thank you, in-laws. Shengwu's marriage will be in your hands in the future."

Zhou Xiaoyan also said with a smile.

Her daughter told her that when the second son in the family gets married, her in-laws must be involved.

The weather is getting hotter day by day.

It was early this morning.

Wang Mengde rode his bicycle not to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but directly to the office of the vaccine research team.

Today, my superior leader will also come over and hold a meeting.

Arrived at the office.

Liu Shuwei got the news and rushed over.

"Team Leader Wang, you are here."

As soon as we met, he greeted me with a cheerful face.

Recently, there has been good news from the vaccine research team.

The hepatitis B vaccine that was previously developed has been proven to be safe after clinical trials and is now available for use.

At the same time, they made improvements to address the shortcomings of the vaccines they produced, such as the need to be refrigerated, difficulty in preservation, difficulty in promotion, and high transportation costs.

Without Wang Mengde's participation, a hepatitis B vaccine that can be stored at room temperature was successfully developed.

Moreover, last month, large-scale production has begun and vaccination has been gradually promoted.

In the capital, Shanghai and other regions, the first vaccine for newborns in major hospitals is also determined to be hepatitis B vaccine, and the country has also tried to provide free vaccination.

Of course, they were rewarded.

There are not many material rewards, just various honors.

"Lao Liu, what are you busy with recently?"

Wang Mengde asked with a smile.

After successfully developing a hepatitis B vaccine using gene editing technology, he no longer worried about the rest.

I also have no idea about the recent research direction and situation of the vaccine team.

"Team Leader Wang, in our team, except for a small number of people who continue their research, the majority of the rest are continuing to conduct in-depth research on gene editing technology.

We also plan to use this technology to research and test vaccines for other diseases.

In recent days, everyone has been discussing which disease's vaccine should be studied first.

By the way, Team Leader Wang, do you have any suggestions? "

Liu Shuwei quietly introduced the team's recent situation.

"Haha, you guys can decide this by yourselves. I won't get involved."

Wang Mengde waved his hand and refused with a smile.

These people in the vaccine research team are now considered to have gotten started.

The rest of the journey will depend on them.

Moreover, he believed that with these foundations and leading technological concepts, the energy unleashed by these people would definitely shock the scientific community.

“By the way, genetic technology is also one of the main scientific directions in the future. You must pay attention to it. Don’t become complacent just because you have developed a hepatitis B vaccine with it.

We must conduct more in-depth research, as this technology has far more uses than just this.”

"Well, Team Leader Wang, don't worry, we will definitely not let our guard down."

"That's good. It's almost time. Let's go to the gate and greet our superiors."

Having said that, Wang Mengde stood up and they walked out together.

After a while, several senior leaders, accompanied by Wang Mengde and others, came to a meeting room of the vaccine research team.

After seated.

The leader did not beat around the bush and after a few simple words, he went straight to the point.

"Comrades, we are here today because we have two things to tell you."

After a pause, the leader sitting in the main seat looked at the dozen people sitting there with a smile, and then continued:

“The first thing is to inform you of a good news.

Thanks to your hard work, the country used new technologies for the first time to develop a hepatitis B vaccine that not only broke through production limitations but also had many advantages.

The restricted country is currently producing the vaccine in large quantities and is striving to ensure that half of the country's population can be vaccinated with the vaccine within 20 years.

According to experts’ predictions, in 30 years, when most people have been vaccinated against hepatitis B, the incidence of hepatitis B will be greatly reduced and it will become a preventable and controllable infectious disease.”

"Now, the higher authorities have prepared to build several more pharmaceutical factories in various places to produce hepatitis B vaccines based on demand.

In addition, after hearing that we have new technologies, some foreign countries have come to discuss with us and hope that our country will transfer the relevant technologies.

This technology is of course not transferable. The final result of the negotiations is that some countries will purchase large quantities of vaccines produced by us.”

As the leader finished the first part, everyone in the conference room looked excited.

Liu Shuwei and Gu Junxin were particularly excited.

In this team, apart from Wang Mengde, these two people have made the greatest contribution.

Naturally, they also receive the most honors and benefits.

Maybe, with this opportunity, I will be able to leave my name in history.

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Wang Mengde, who was sitting in the front seat, with gratitude.

Wang Mengde didn't pay attention to these details, his mind was full of thoughts.

It seems that the superiors also know the importance of this technology and have not transferred the relevant technology to other parties.

As a result, even if top foreign research institutions get some idea of ​​the technology, they will not be able to develop gene editing technology in a short period of time.

Twenty years later, they also have this technology, and I'm afraid that it has developed to another level in China.

Just when he was thinking.

The leader drank a few sips of tea to calm everyone down, and then continued:

“This second thing is also good news.

After research by superiors, it was decided to upgrade the vaccine research team.

The Beijing Gene Technology Research Institute was established, with the former team leader as director and Wang Mengde as deputy director. . .

The changes of other personnel will be arranged after the meeting, so I will not mention them at the meeting.

By the way, this newly established institute will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Medical Research Institute and the Beijing Municipal Institute of Biological Products, and will be managed by the higher authorities in the future.”

After saying that, the leader deliberately glanced at Wang Mengde, his eyes full of admiration.

He and other leaders were aware of the achievements made by the vaccine research team. The biggest contributor here was the young man next to him.

This time, everyone in the conference room was even happier.

In the future, the vaccine research team will be like a temporary organization, and it may be adjusted at any time.

Now, the superior has established a new research institute based on the group. From now on, they can be regarded as the superior's "biological sons".

After the meeting.

When Wang Mengde was about to leave, the senior leader suddenly stopped him:
"Comrade Wang Mengde, please wait a moment."
