Chapter 1243 Butterfly Wings (Third update, please subscribe)
When most people are still sleeping soundly in their dreams, a rising sun jumps over the distant horizon.
As the morning sun rises, many people in this city always get up and go for a run. Exercise has long been a lifestyle habit for many Nanyang people and has become a part of their lives.
The same goes for Zhang Zheyuan. He gets up on time at 5:30 every day and runs along the park.
Day after day, year after year.
An hour later, I bought some breakfast at a roadside restaurant, packed it up and took it home. After breakfast with my wife and children, I sent the children to the school bus stop.
The time is exactly 7:30. At this time, he will drive to his work place.
Twenty-five minutes later, we arrived at the "Daming Palace" on time, passed the inspection at the entrance, and then took an internal vehicle into the "Daming Palace" and arrived at the office around 8:10.
Then start the day's work.
"Director, this is the official letter I just received,"
As the director of the general office of the official residence, Zhang Zheyuan had just arrived at the office when employees handed over stacks of documents. At the beginning of the year, the former director Yu Xiangdong came to Dongning to take up the post. As deputy director, he was promoted to director. Although he is the new office director, he also comes from an old official residence. He has worked in the official residence for eight years and is familiar with the affairs of the official residence.
After receiving the official letter, Zhang Zheyuan began to review it.
The director of the general office of the official residence is a very critical position. There are no positions such as prime minister or secretary of state in Nanyang. Basically, each ministry is responsible for its own affairs, and the director of the general office needs to assist you in doing a lot of work.
This is actually the biggest feature of Nanyang's political system - there is only one head and no deputy. This also ensures the stability of Nanyang and avoids the "ambition of deputy".
As for the chief of staff, he is just an assistant. In fact, he is not just an assistant, but also a staff member. Many times, he needs to make suggestions for you.
Zhang Zheyuan's job is to assist you in your work, organize the reports of various departments and prioritize them.
In fact, everything that can be sent to the official residence is a major event, because Nanyang implements a department head responsibility system, which also determines that they have direct decision-making power on specific affairs. What is reported to the official residence is either a summary or a major event, the former being a routine matter. The latter is what needs urgent treatment.
Twenty minutes after Zhang Zheyuan arrived at the office, you also entered the office. As usual, you will spend about 15 minutes reading the "Intelligence Briefing" provided by the Secret Intelligence Service before starting. specific matters handled.
So, Zhang Zheyuan needs to master his time!
After waiting for 15 minutes, Zhang Zheyuan walked into the office with a stack of documents. While putting the documents into the document basket on the desk, he said:
"Your Excellency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just reported that the White House has communicated with our ambassador to the United States and President Kennedy hopes to visit Nanyang in the next few days."
The next few days?
The sudden visit made Li Yian raise his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Oh? Kennedy is finally here, isn't he? And he's here in such a hurry?"
< br>While speaking, Li Yian even looked at the desk calendar and saw that it was already mid-September.
Although the current US president has not yet made the habit of traveling abroad immediately after taking office, after Kennedy took office, he visited many Western European countries, including the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, and Austria. In contrast, only Vice President Johnson visited He traveled to Asia and visited Southeast Asia, the Philippines and Saigon.
In Li Yian's view, this is definitely a sign of not treating Nanyang as an ally!
When Eisenhower was still elected president, he visited Nanyang. As a result, Kennedy, a young man from a wealthy family, had never thought of Nanyang until now.
“It’s interesting for him to come here at this time...”
Looking at your playful expression, Zhang Zheyuan said:
"Your Excellency, when Kennedy visits Nanyang now, he must want to seek our help. After all, this "Berlin Crisis" has demonstrated Russia's offensive nature. They need our power to contain the Russians in Asia."
< br>As an assistant, he also needs to give certain analysis.
"That's pretty much it..."
Is Kennedy going to visit Nanyang?
After receiving this news, Li Yi couldn't help but fell into deep thought. What did Kennedy want from Nanyang?
This is the most important thing!
Obviously, Kennedy's visit was related to the Berlin crisis, and he must have wanted to give the Russians some answers.
Coming to Nanyang...then Nanyang must have what he needs?
What does he need?
Although I am a little curious, there is only one reason - the Soviet Union!
Only the threat of the Soviet Union would make that young man "condescend" to Nanyang. Otherwise, it is estimated that the guy may not come to see him until his mind is opened.
“I don’t know why, I think that guy has a problem with me!”
On the way to Jianmin Pharmaceutical, Li Yian said to Lautrey, although Jianmin Pharmaceutical is The company's industry has long been analyzed from the company. Now Jianmin Pharmaceutical is in charge of Lautelei. In fact, it is for children.
For his children, Li Yian never favors one over the other. Everyone has his or her own industry. In fact, this is also for the future of Nanyang. After all, the current "company" is really a behemoth. Appropriate splitting is beneficial to Nanyang.
There is no abundant grass under the dense forest and no beautiful seedlings between the large blocks. The existence of the company has both advantages and disadvantages for Nanyang, but the existence of the company cannot affect Nanyang's innovation and the development of unicorn enterprises.
A proper spin-off will only benefit Nanyang’s commercial development and will not cause any harm. Of course, in the future, large companies such as Borneo and Xingye will continue to play the role of "windbreaks".
Looking at the man next to him, Lautrey said:
"He will definitely not like it."
"Oh? Why is this?"
"Because he is the second generation rich, and you are the first generation!"
The simple and straightforward answer made Li Yian stunned for a moment, and then he understood:
"That guy is jealous of me!"
Okay!
Let him be jealous. Comparing with a housekeeper who is very imaginative, it seems that we are too immeasurable.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the company. After entering Lautelei's office, the company manager Zhu Huayun immediately showed off the new drugs the company was testing to Li Yian like a treasure.
“According to the test, this drug is currently the best drug for lowering cholesterol and blood lipid levels. In our trial, it successfully reduced the cholesterol of 9 patients by 27%.”
Then, Zhu Huayun specifically emphasized:
"Your Excellency, the company's marketing department believes that the future market for this drug will reach 1 billion to 1.5 billion U.S. dollars!"
Is 1 billion U.S. dollars too much?
Think about it from another perspective - equivalent to 1% of Nanyang's GDP!
In fact, the early development of Nanyang was largely due to streptomycin produced by Jianmin Pharmaceutical. With this only drug that can cure tuberculosis, it saved millions of lives. At the same time, huge returns were obtained.
At that time, streptomycin was even called "the gold mine of Southeast Asia".
"Oh! Such a big market!"
Li Yian's surprise made Lautelei's mouth corners rise, and a smile appeared on her pretty face. The reason why she invited him to the company today , just to show him this new drug.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just to show off, to tell him - look, I manage the company well.
Li Yian, who didn't understand what he was thinking, took the report and read it. Finally, he asked:
"Is this drug safe?"
"We Adequate drug trials have been conducted in overseas laboratories. Although it has an occasional side effect of muscle pain, this side effect is acceptable."
When Zhu Huayun mentioned the overseas laboratory, Li Yian raised his eyebrows slightly. The drug safety of Nanyang Pharmaceutical Company has been praised by various countries for many years. The fundamental reason is that every new drug of Nanyang Pharmaceuticals will undergo sufficient human trials. Those laboratories are scattered in Khmer, South Korea, Japan, and of course India.
It can be said with certainty that tens of thousands of "drug testers" are helping Nanyang pharmaceutical companies conduct trials every year for the pharmaceutical companies to collect data.
“Sir, this is a very effective lipid-lowering drug, and it is also the only drug that can truly effectively prevent and treat coronary heart disease. Tens of millions of people in the United States are threatened by coronary heart disease every year. According to The analysis of the marketing department..."
Zhu Huayun introduced the analysis of the marketing department one by one. In short, it was condensed into three words - a way to make money!
Just like streptomycin back then.
However, with the expiration of streptomycin, the good era of high profits also ended. But now, with the emergence of this drug, Zhu Huayun sees another opportunity.
Pharmaceutical companies develop drugs to make money.
Li Yian did not refute this, closed the report and smiled at Zhu Huayun.
"Manager Zhu, since the test is sufficient, let's leave it to the official review. If the review passes, I think this drug will definitely save many people."
See Glancing at the newspaper on the table, what flashed in Li Yian's mind was not money, but how many people it would save!
While it saves people, how many things will be changed?
After all, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease caused by excessive cholesterol claim a large number of lives every year, including many celebrities, experts, scholars, businessmen and politicians.
Perhaps, this drug will save their lives. By then, what changes will they bring to the world?
Just like streptomycin, its asking has saved many people, just like Lin Huiyin, who was supposed to die from tuberculosis, is still alive and well.
Perhaps, these are the wings of a butterfly!
A seemingly inconspicuous bottle of medicine will bring changes to the world in the future, and even to some extent, it will exceed one's imagination, and even make the world develop in an unknown direction.
For a moment, Li Yian even looked forward to this unknown world.
