Chapter 226: Maybe Qingshan Pharmaceutical has forgotten it?
Two pieces of good news?
Zhang Yang felt a little nervous when he heard this. He did know about the increase in quotas for the "P4 Biological Laboratory", but...
The other good news?
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Zhang Yang greeted Zhou Hai to sit down without changing his expression, and said with a smile:
"Okay, Secretary Zhou, let me hear the good news you brought."
Secretary Zhou did not hesitate, smiled, sat down on the sofa and said immediately:
"First of all, you should already know the first good news. Hey... I'm ashamed to say this. We didn't know that you submitted an application for a 'P4 Biological Laboratory' before. We didn't even know that there was a 'P4 Biological Laboratory'This Project!"
"You didn't tell me anything, but it wasn't until a few days ago that I accidentally discovered that your application for the 'P4 Biological Laboratory' project was rejected by the National Health Commission!"
"But in any case, this is a huge mistake in our work. Later, after I reported this matter to the leader, the leader took it very seriously and immediately instructed that a new quota must be added to you in recognition of your contribution to the 'T14 protein' and Feiduqing granules have made a huge contribution!”
As he spoke, he paused:
"You must have received a call from the National Health Commission today, right?"
Zhang Yang nodded.
Zhang Yang had known about the addition of quotas for the P4 biology laboratory in the morning, and he had even guessed that the sudden increase in quotas was most likely caused by his leadership.
But when he heard Secretary Zhou say it, he still showed a surprised expression, and then his face was filled with surprise!
"Secretary Zhou, I did receive a call this morning, but... I didn't expect it was specially approved by the leader!"
"Oh, I really appreciate the leader's concern. Secretary Zhou, you must convey my gratitude to the leader. This quota is too important for us!"
Secretary Zhou smiled and nodded.
Of course he also knew that Zhang Yang's expression was a bit exaggerated, but he had to say that such an attitude would make people very comfortable whether it was the truth or a lie.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely convey your gratitude to the leader!"
"But in general, we still made mistakes in our work, otherwise we wouldn't have gone around in such a big circle!"
Zhang Yang smiled knowingly and said nothing, and Secretary Zhou was not prepared to continue talking about this matter.
After a moment, he changed the subject and said:
"Okay, let's talk about the second good news."
"Recently I saw that you established Qingshan Pharmaceutical Chinese Medicinal Materials Sales Company, and it seems that you are also planning to establish a 'Chinese medicinal material planting base' nationwide?"
Zhang Yang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Hai to care about this matter.
"Secretary Zhou, we do have this idea."
“We plan to build a large-scale ‘Chinese medicinal material planting base’ around Chengdu first, and then slowly expand it nationwide!”
"You may not be aware that Chinese medicinal materials have restrictions on their origin. High-quality medicinal materials must be grown in corresponding areas, so bases need to be established across the country."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hai nodded with a smile and took the words:
"I know that Chinese medicinal materials have strict requirements on the place of origin; by the way, you may encounter some difficulties when establishing a base in other places, right?"
Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he vaguely guessed what the second good thing Zhou Hai said would be.
really.
Before he could answer, Zhou Hai continued:
"Okay, I won't play riddles with you anymore."
“This time, the leaders knew that you wanted to establish ‘Chinese herbal medicine planting bases’ across the country, and after developing high-quality Chinese herbal medicines, they also recognized it and strongly praised you for finding the right way to revitalize Chinese medicine.”
"So, I was specifically asked to set up a special team to help you protect you."
With that said, Zhou Hai took out a prepared document from his bag and handed it to Zhang Yang.
"Before I came here, I specifically asked professionals in the field of Chinese herbal medicine cultivation. There are a total of ten major medicinal material production areas in the country. In addition to the Sichuan medicine production areas, there are nine major production areas. You see, our Qingshan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is preparing for the next step. In which production area should we establish a base? ”
"You only need to directly tell me what medicinal materials need to be planted and approximately how many acres of land are needed. Our special team will personally implement the rest for you, including finding land, negotiating contracts with farmers, etc. We are fully responsible for it. You can just plant it when the time comes.”
"Of course, you still have to send someone to discuss the details with us, but we are still responsible for all specific actions."
Zhang Yang was really stunned when he heard it. What kind of service is this?
After a full ten seconds, he recovered, shook his head and refused:
"Secretary Zhou, thank you leaders for your kindness."
"However, although there may be some difficulties in establishing a 'planting base' in other places, I think we should be able to solve it. I won't bother you with this little thing!"
"No trouble!"
Zhou Hai shook his head hurriedly:
"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. These are specially arranged by the leaders, and you deserve them."
"This time you discovered the 'T14 protein' in the pneumonia virus and developed the 'Feiduqing Granule', which is already a great achievement!"
"And... I will still trouble you about the pneumonia virus next time!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and finally understood Zhou Hai's true intention of coming here this time.
Zhou Hai couldn't help but cough slightly when he saw this, sat up straight and said:
"Mr. Zhang, having said that, let me just tell you the thoughts of the leaders above."
"At present, although 'Feiduqing Granules' can clear the 'T14 protein' in the pneumonia virus,... the leaders still want to do everything possible to truly clear the 'T14 pneumonia virus' and give the people a healthy Environment! ”
"As you said in your previous report, the 'pneumonia virus' did not carry the 'T14 protein' before 2018. The leader's idea is to see if it can be achieved through 'viral gene recombination', through 'evolution' or 'mutation' Remove the 'T14 protein' from the currently popular 'T14 pneumonia virus' strain and become a normal pneumonia virus;
Or, you can trace the virus back to 2018! ”
"In addition, you also mentioned before that the 'T14 protein' is only targeting East Asians and is not sensitive to Westerners. So, did this virus evolve naturally or..."
"In short, we must understand clearly!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yang already understood.
He suddenly thought of "Adelev Biolabs" and the British company AstraZeneca.
In fact, he knew very well that the "pneumonia virus" contained "T14 protein", and the secret that "T14 protein" could induce lung adenocarcinoma was not the first he discovered.
According to the simulation plot, as early as 2018, "Adelev Biolabs" and AstraZeneca had discovered this secret.
But they did not make this secret public. Even half a year later, AstraZeneca launched the third-generation targeted drug that is currently the most effective and most profitable in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma--"Osimertinib."
but.
Although it is certain that "Adelev Biolabs" and AstraZeneca have known the secret of "T14 protein" a long time ago, whether they artificially recombined the virus or added "T14 protein" to the original virus "Inducing lung adenocarcinoma, Zhang Yang really doesn't know.
Moreover, after exiting the simulation plot, he did not even have any channels or methods to learn more about this matter.
In addition, when Zhou Hai mentioned that the "T14 protein" could be removed from the pneumonia virus through "viral genetic recombination", Zhang Yang felt that he was somewhat powerless.
Neither he nor the current Qingshan Pharmaceutical has top-level virology analysis capabilities. He was able to discover the secret of the "T14 protein" entirely because of the simulator.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang shook his head and declined:
"Secretary Zhou, thank you leaders for their trust."
"But... to be honest, we are actually lucky to have discovered the 'T14 protein'. If it involves more in-depth virus analysis and editing such as 'viral gene recombination' and 'evolution', we may be really powerless."
Zhou Hai was a little surprised by Zhang Yang's refusal. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Zhang Yang was telling the truth or trying to raise the price? After pondering for a moment, he whispered:
"Mr. Zhang, you are so humble. Both I and the leaders have great trust in you and the ability of Qingshan Pharmaceutical!"
"Of course, the leaders' requirements do not necessarily mean success 100% of the time. As long as there is progress in five or eight years, it is a good thing!
Moreover, as long as you are willing to help, no matter what the final result is, the leaders will definitely remember your contribution! ”
"Besides, don't be too stressed; to be honest, in addition to your leadership, your leaders have also convened many top virology experts in the country to study this matter. You are involved, Qingshan Pharmaceutical is also involved, and It’s double insurance!”
Zhang Yang fell silent.
If it takes five or eight years, he is confident that Qingshan Pharmaceutical can recruit a group of top virologists to study this matter.
What's more, maybe the next plot simulation may continue to involve the secret of "T14 protein".
After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded and said:
"Okay, Secretary Zhou, we'll try our best!"
After the words fell, Zhou Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on his face.
After a moment, he hurriedly took out the "Distribution Map of the Top Ten Producing Areas of Chinese Medicinal Materials" in his hand again, and said with great sincerity:
"Mr. Zhang, let's get down to business. Come and see which production area you most want to build a 'planting base' in? Just say, I will help you solve the problem of contracted land!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"You're welcome, you deserve this!"
Zhang Yang smiled, no longer pretentious at this moment, and said:
"Then we'll have to trouble Secretary Zhou, but Ren Xiaomin is responsible for this matter. I'll let Ren Xiaomin deal with you!"
"Okay! Let's do this. Give me Mr. Ren's phone number and I'll contact him!"
"Hmm!"
Zhou Hai was relieved after receiving Ren Xiaomin's call. After communicating, he couldn't wait to go to Qingshan Pharmaceutical Chinese Medicinal Materials Branch to discuss matters.
Only Zhang Yang was left in the office, and gradually, after a few months, his thoughts fell on the "T14 pneumonia virus" again.
In a daze, he thought of the Adelev Biological Laboratory, his friend Evans in the simulation plot, and the head of the biological laboratory - Dr. Erikson!
“Where does the ‘T14 protein’ in the pneumonia virus come from?”
"What role do Adelev Biolabs and AstraZeneca play in this?"
Just when Zhang Yang was lost in thought, on the other side was the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu.
Department of Hematology, 39 beds.
Xia Xue lay quietly on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling in the ward.
She is 25 years old this year, a young and beautiful age.
A month ago, like most ordinary girls, she had beautiful black hair and looked forward to the future.
But in just one month, she cut off her long hair and became bald like most patients in the ward.
And that's not the most important thing.
Five years ago, she was diagnosed with leukemia. To be precise, it is a branch of leukemia-acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Unlike Gleevec, a highly expensive drug that is well known to treat leukemia, Gleevec mainly treats "chronic myeloid leukemia" and does not have a particularly good effect on acute myeloid leukemia.
The best way to treat acute myeloid leukemia is bone marrow stem cell transplantation.
Fortunately,
Five years ago, she and her father's bone marrow stem cells were successfully matched. After the operation, she successfully overcame many difficulties such as postoperative infection and rejection, and finally returned to normal life.
She originally thought she would always be lucky, but she didn't expect that last month!
Exactly five years after the transplant, she found abnormal indicators again during a review last month.
A sudden piece of news completely shattered all her hopes for the future.
Her leukemia recurred five years later!
This is not just a simple matter of recurrence. The experience of her last transplant made her more aware of the risks and cruelty of recurrence!
Relapse will not only make treatment more than twice as difficult as the first time, but also the cost... will be twice as high!
Thinking of this, Xia Xue gently turned her head to look at her father, who was leaning on the escort chair and taking a nap. She couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes.
In just one month, my father became obviously older.
"It's me who feels sorry for this family. It's me who has caused trouble to my father."
After thinking about it for who knows how long, the tears quietly dried up in the corners of her eyes. She carefully picked up the mobile phone next to the pillow with her hands that were swollen from taking hormones.
Unlocked.
Open Weibo.
Click on the watch list.
Click on Qingshan Pharmaceutical.
This is what she has been doing every day this month.
She knew that exciting news had come out from this Weibo account countless times, and she also prayed for a miracle to happen, for that exciting news to appear!
refresh.
Xia Xue sighed lightly in disappointment.
The latest news on Tsingshan Pharmaceutical’s official Weibo was a charity promotion three days ago, without any new news.
In fact, as early as five years ago when she first suffered from leukemia, she had followed the official Weibo of Qingshan Pharmaceutical.
She still remembers that "ITG human myelopoietin" for the treatment of aplastic anemia had just been on the market for more than a year;
She still remembered that she was still hoping that Qingshan Pharmaceutical would produce another drug that could cure leukemia!
Not only her, but countless leukemia patients who had seen patients with "aplastic anemia" recover from health, they all firmly believed that Qingshan Pharmaceutical could solve the problem of leukemia in one go!
There are even many patients who are delaying transplantation time and time again in order to wait for Qingshan Pharmaceutical’s medicine to cure leukemia!
But one year has passed, two years have passed...
Six years later, there is still no news from Qingshan Pharmaceutical.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes and put the phone back next to the pillow.
"Perhaps Qingshan Pharmaceutical has forgotten it a long time ago?"
"Perhaps, as those people on the Internet said, Qingshan Pharmaceutical will no longer develop any medicine that can completely cure it. Long-term medication is the best..."
