Practicing business and practicing medicine

"Shuigang Fishing Village" is a hotel that specializes in seafood dishes. It is a mid- to high-end restaurant with an average per capita consumption of 300 yuan or more. It is a bit expensive. Ordinary citizens only gather here for a big table during festivals.

Bian Mu arrived ten minutes early. Assistant Zhang had already reserved a seat in advance. It was on the third floor, Room 3011, a small private room, a little further inside, quiet and nice.

Bian Mu sat there and fiddled with his phone for a while. He carefully read the second chapter of "Journey to the West" for a while.

Assistant Zhang came in a hurry, about three or five minutes late.

"You chose this place. Has your company's business improved recently?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"It's a little better. The cost control has achieved remarkable results. Jiao Yueyun has also been transferred there. It's hard work, but I finally started to receive performance wages. By the way, are you two completely broken up?!" As he spoke, Assistant Zhang picked up the ordering IPAD and clicked a few times.

"It's all right now! Maybe... I haven't had a formal conversation with her at all. Is she okay recently?"

"Haha... I was talking! She didn't believe you! The car was fine, but the water flooded over the top. I don't know if it can be repaired! She was so angry."

The two were talking and laughing when they received an IPAD message. A young waiter pushed the door open and came in with a tray in his hand with two bottles of red wine on it.

Assistant Zhang started to order dishes, three dishes of fish and shrimp each, and Bian Mu asked for a soup dish, a beef stew.

"Just now, a gentleman named Guan presented you two bottles of red wine. He has left by car now. Let him know." As he spoke, the waiter placed the two bottles of red wine in a suitable position and asked if he wanted to help open the next bottle now.

"Guan Yuelin! Thank you! We can do it ourselves! You can do your own thing!" After that, Assistant Zhang sent the waiter away.

"It's cold, and red wine with seafood... is not in line with the traditional Chinese medicine. How about... you take the wine back and give it to someone!" Bian Mu suggested with a smile.

"Okay! I've been having a lot of social events recently, so I'll save as much as I can. Thanks!"

"Look at what you said, Guan Yuelin gave you the wine just for your sake, maybe he's already paid for the meal."

"Who cares! Let's eat our own food. How's Gong Jianshi?" Assistant Zhang got to the point.

"Very experienced! He came up and gave us a 'test the waters'..." As he spoke, Bian Mu introduced the key details of the day when he accompanied Tao Wenjie to meet Gong Jianshi's team.

"From what you said... does he have a better new drug plan?" Assistant Zhang asked.

"That should be it! I'm not entirely sure. He... has a lot of ambition and is quite serious. People like him should have some real skills. The injection product solution he provided that day already has more mature products on the market, and they are all big brands. Even if he and Lei Xueming have communicated with each other and have outstanding technical skills, how can he compete with those big brands?! How can he win?"

"Oh... He led a team to contact me several times before, and the feeling he gave me was... similar to what you said. At that time, I was thinking of asking you to explore his background together, but Mr. Luo said that the time was not yet ripe, so I didn't alarm you! Or Tao Wenjie's brain is quick, and she found out the other party's bottom card at a glance. Then... How credible is it that he claimed to have Situ Jianqing's prescription?" Assistant Zhang asked with a smile.

At this time, two young waiters, a man and a woman, began to serve the dishes. The man was still the waiter just now.

Assistant Zhang thanked the two waiters, and the waiter gave a 100 yuan tip, and the waitress left a 50 yuan tip. The two politely accepted the tip and went downstairs.

The two chatted while eating.

"Tell me, Lei Xueming is doing so well over there, why did Gong come here?" Changing the perspective, Assistant Zhang asked with a smile.

"Business matters... are so complicated, how can I understand them!" Bian Mu had no interest in Gong Jianshi, and was too lazy to think about it. Indeed, business matters were very complicated, and he didn't know much.

"Then let's change the perspective, a purely technical perspective, assuming that Gong Jianshi has obtained Situ Jianqing's legacy, even if he cooperates with Lei Xueming, and the two split the profits 50-50, do you think they can develop a first-class hot-selling new Chinese patent medicine with their abilities?" Assistant Zhang said with a smile.

"You mean the first-line boutique ones? The ones that may be listed in the future?" Wearing gloves, Bian Mu peeled a prawn for Assistant Zhang and put it on her plate, and then peeled one for himself.

"Well! How is it? Can it pass the technical test?"

"Based on my last experience at Liu Shunrong... it's not good enough! At least, Lei Xueming doesn't have that ability! He... gives people the impression of being a high-end imitation, and he may be good at playing tricks, but he is not qualified to launch a famous drug that shocks the entire market! Of course, there is a premise here. The level of the surname Gong must be similar to that of Lei Xueming, or even worse. By the way, what is the academic background of the surname Gong?"

"A doctor who returned from overseas, known as a little prodigy in middle school, a super academic master!" After eating a few bites of the prawns, Assistant Zhang responded with a smile.

"Does he have clinical experience?"

"It is said that he worked in a private hospital in Beiqi for a period of time. There is no valuable information about his clinical medical skills. He should be similar to Lei Xueming!"

"Is that so... I can't say for sure... So, can you find any papers he has published publicly? Professional ones, the higher the level, the better."

"No need to check, it's in the computer, I'll send it to your email later."

"Okay! It's a good opportunity to read the masterpiece of a great doctor who returned from overseas."

"How was the surgery? Did you learn something?"

"More than that! Contemporary Western medicine has made rapid progress in many aspects. To be honest, I was quite shocked. It overturned many of my medical cognitions! You have to know that the anatomy classes we learned when we were in school were simply not worth mentioning. If contemporary Chinese medicine wants to improve, it is definitely a fatal shortcoming to know little about the more subtle structure of the human body. In this regard, our industry can no longer be so conservative. I think that university courses must also be changed to keep pace with the times!"

"Really? Anyway, you have always been very open-minded, but... if an old-fashioned person like Cen Songxue heard this, he would have to say You are not doing your job and are too ambitious!"

"Really? It is definitely right to further explore the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, but... it is easy to limit yourself if you stick to your old ways for a long time. In the long run, even a god like Nie Yixiong would not dare to call himself a "general practitioner" in the full sense. Ophthalmology, emergency treatment, minimally invasive surgery... Even if it is a new school of Chinese medicine, the limitations of our industry are actually getting bigger and bigger in a sense. In this regard, I believe they are very clear in their hearts. You know, I dare not see many patients at all and directly refuse them. "

"You have been ahead of them for many years with this awareness. There is a long way to go, take your time!"

Talking and laughing, the two of them naturally had a very enjoyable meal.

During the meal, Assistant Zhang told Bian Mu that Guan Yuelin did have some secret recipes in his hands, and Guan Yuelin had been seeking to test a new type of Chinese patent medicine privately.

Bian Mu just listened quietly and did not express much opinion.

After the meal, the two went downstairs to the bar. The female customer service said that Mr. Guan had already paid for the meal. Assistant Zhang chatted with one of the slightly older female customer service staff for a few more words and learned that Guan Yuelin had always been a VIP customer of this restaurant.
