Protagonist:

Fang Ziye

Fang Ziye only has one surgery today; Luo Tingzhu didn't go to clinical, just went into the laboratory.

The newlywed couple, separated for no more than six hours, gathered together again.

In the house Fang Ziye rents, after Fang Ziye told Luo Tingzhu about his long-term planning, Luo Tingzhu was also startled, exclaiming in shock: "Senior Brother, was that project of Professor Han Yuanxiao's put together by you?"

"Is this actually true?"

"I thought it was just rumors spread by others!"

Luo Tingzhu naturally doesn't eat melons harmful to Fang Ziye, so she never believed it; she couldn't believe such a claim and spread it as hearsay.

"Tingzhu, just you knowing about this matter is enough. So, I feel I now have the capability to go handle a generic drug project."

"This would definitely reduce many patients' expenses."

"Actually, the main purpose isn't simply to reduce expenses; my wife is so smart, you guess why."

"You need to combine it with the current clinical situation." Fang Ziye embraced Luo Tingzhu, swaying back and forth, while giving a hint.

Luo Tingzhu let Fang Ziye's 'stinky claws' hold what he wanted to hold; her hand held a duck claw: "Combine with clinical situation, let me think?"

"Hmm..." Luo Tingzhu gnawed two bites before saying: "Recently the biggest clinical impacts are volume-based procurement and performance reform."

"Now the medical insurance system has suddenly changed; many patients' hospital visit costs have dropped a lot compared to before. If saying many patients truly can't afford the costs, that might be a bit alarmist."

"What everyone is worried about now is the drug quality issue with volume-based procurement."

After analyzing for a while, Luo Tingzhu immediately nodded: "Oh, Senior Brother, you want to raise the quality of some of the drugs currently in volume-based procurement!"

"Didn't I say my wife is brilliant?"

Fang Ziye chuckled lightly, then said: "Wife, let me explain: whatever position you're in, you must consider what that position should do."

"You should have heard too: because of volume-based procurement and performance reform, many hospitals are unwilling to admit patients anymore, just afraid of exceeding the medical expense line."

"Contrary to the previous contradiction of insufficient beds, patient numbers still haven't decreased, but outpatient doctors are actively controlling admission quotas."

"Of course there's also the reason of uncertain drug efficacy."

"Another thing: the current medical insurance control line is too rigid, causing clinical doctors to be trembling with fear during treatment, afraid of exceeding the limit, and then the department has to cover the shortfall..."

"Although the annual salary system has been hotly debated, there's still no universally implemented policy; currently the performance nature in hospitals is still self-financing."

"Matters affecting everyone's income are the foundation of the families behind each person; of course they must be cautious."

"So, one is to increase efficiency, two is to reduce costs again; if drug production prices can be made lower, costs lower, then profit margins would be a bit higher."

"Everyone's enthusiasm would definitely increase as well."

Hearing this, Luo Tingzhu exclaimed in surprise: "Senior Brother, you mean you want to fill the gaps for this loophole."

Luo Tingzhu omitted the word 'policy'.

Policy isn't something two small doctors can rashly discuss; discussing it is useless, it's the general trend!

Even if an Academician discussed it, it would be useless!

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Where would I have such great ability? I just don't want Eastern Han's medical situation to become overly extreme in the future."

"Most technically skilled doctors would run to private hospitals, and medical resources would thoroughly become de facto capital control."

"When that time truly comes, even more common people will suffer losses!"

"Our country's benefits can't compare with foreign countries, and private hospital fees, although not completely referencing foreign medical fee standards, aren't much lower either."

"Although these matters haven't affected top teaching hospitals like ours yet, many prefecture-level city hospitals are racking their brains over this!"

"Things depend on human effort."

"As an insider, help with whatever strength you can; this is the third reason."

"Naturally there's a fourth reason too." Fang Ziye said.

"Fourth, what?" Luo Tingzhu asked.

"Tingzhu, doing a generic drug project can also cultivate a batch of very good-level pharmaceutical engineers and pharmacy-related talents."

"If later when researching new disease types, new drugs need to be developed, wouldn't talents be needed too?"

"Our team currently lacks professional talents in this area." Fang Ziye said.

Hearing this, Luo Tingzhu understood Fang Ziye's meaning: "That's true; although Lan Tianluo's girlfriend Assimilate is also from pharmacy, her aptitude and talent indeed aren't top-level; she can't bear the heavy responsibility."

"Just like, Big Brother Nie Mingxian's Sister-in-law Liu Guo also had some talent, but in the end was still persuaded back by Big Brother Nie Mingxian."

Fang Ziye said laughing: "Don't compare; your talent is better than theirs; you didn't join the project group because of me!"

Luo Tingzhu's damn competitive spirit, Fang Ziye has experienced it.

Luo Tingzhu hehe laughed, threw away the duck claw in her hand, and asked: "Senior Brother, then in the future, do you not plan to do clinical projects?"

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Do? Of course do normally; how could clinical projects not be done?"

"Then time and energy? Balance between the two sides?" Luo Tingzhu raised both hands up and down, unable to balance no matter what.

Fang Ziye replied: "Tingzhu, you don't understand this."

"In my early stage, basically everything I did personally; that was to accumulate experience for myself, let others know I have the ability to complete any procedure of a project."

"I've already completed so many clinical projects and basic research projects; do you think I still need to do everything personally now?"

"One person's whole body is iron; how many nails can he drive?"

"Team, employing people, transforming one's own ideas into reality through others' abilities; the main component I participate in is task dispatch!"

Fang Ziye spoke here, took a deep breath: "Tingzhu, you really think Master Deng Yongqiang kept Senior Brother Li Yuanpei just to do ordinary orthopedic administration?"

"Even if it's just our Trauma Surgery, who would he administer there?"

"Manage Han Yuanxiao? Manage me? Or manage Professor Gong Jiahe?"

Luo Tingzhu went "Ah": "Senior Brother, you mean Senior Brother Li Yuanpei's administrative post was specially created for you?"

"On the surface it's definitely not, but behind the scenes it definitely is."

"How to put it, Dean Wang Xinghuan and Master and them can't just verbally say they support me, then keep making empty promises, letting me grow wild on my own, right?"

"Li Yuanpei's management ability is quite good, and to give him proper treatment, of course you have to give him an establishment quota first, otherwise how can you do right by him?"

"Besides, I still have my own basic research tasks."

"That brand new bone muscle miRNA I assigned to Hu Qingyuan, after they probed for over a year, finally has some clues."

"Based on this, I feel that since I can parcel out tasks and have them completed, I can naturally do more things."

"Even if individual progress is a bit slower, the overall progress is definitely accelerated!"

Luo Tingzhu continued: "But?"

Fang Ziye let go of his hand, stroked Luo Tingzhu's hair: "Tingzhu, don't forget my identity inside the sanatorium."

"Besides being the Orthopedics Department small group's Group Leader, I'm also the Research Group's Deputy Group Leader."

"Of course, with my current resume, to have me assign Professor Pang Longshan and others to do things, I also don't have that kind of experience, and it would be hard to convince them."

"But after I accumulate some more resume, it'll be about there."

"At that time, when I go take over the sanatorium experimental area's research group, it'll be perfectly justified."

"At that time I didn't refuse, simply because I couldn't resist this piece of fatty meat. Old Dean Chen Song also saw through my ambition, so he catered to my liking and gave me such a big gift."

How could Fang Ziye dare expect to take over the sanatorium research group right now.

Joke, Professor Pang Longshan and them can all calmly attend the mysterious 'Task Assignment' meeting Fang Ziye attended last year.

Even if their research accumulation isn't as good as Fang Ziye's, on what grounds would they listen to your dispatch?

Unless you truly have something that can shake the foundation of the world's research community!

The foundation has to be built slowly.

The treatment of spinal cord injury disease type is a brand new foundation, and generic drug innovation or even a super project like Correct, is Fang Ziye wanting to show off his research skills to the absolute peak, the top-tier achievement!

With verifiable achievements, Professor Pang Longshan and them would naturally be convinced!

Actually, Fang Ziye has wanted to find an assistant for a long time!

But ever since he did a spot check on Academician Zhang Limin, Fang Ziye immediately stopped afterwards.

It's really too dangerous, if Academician Zhang Limin's intentions aren't pure enough, he'd definitely die miserably.

In that kind of environment back then, if Zhang Limin wanted to target Fang Ziye, Fang Ziye really might have found every step difficult. No need for anything else, just say your character is no good, and you're done for!

"Oh oh, right! ~"

"You're still our Research Group's Deputy Group Leader, I was wondering why those professors are all so polite to me now, I thought." Luo Tingzhu blushed a little.

Then lightly knocked Fang Ziye's thigh with her fist.

"Senior Brother, how are you so annoying, openly and secretly, I'm now involuntarily being lifted up by you."

"This actually isn't good for exercising my ability." Luo Tingzhu was a bit peeved.

"Exercising ability doesn't necessarily mean always suffering, suffering the most suffering, just suffering appropriately is enough! ~"

"Objective conditions being slightly better just lets you work more smoothly, won't have too much benefit, won't affect your tempering."

"Alright, for a long period, everyone knows what to do, no need to rack your brains anymore." Fang Ziye suddenly picked Luo Tingzhu up.

Luo Tingzhu was first startled, then understood Fang Ziye's meaning, turned into a docile little lamb, letting Fang Ziye carry her into the room...

One minute later, the two people came out.

Damn, Han City in April is too hot!

And didn't turn on the air conditioner in advance.

May 1st, the first day of the Labor Day holiday.

Fang Ziye didn't put on airs, but personally went to the department to make rounds, then chatted with Lan Tianluo for a while, confirmed Lan Tianluo's mindset had adjusted somewhat recently, only then left the new campus.

10 AM, coffee shop near the new campus.

Fang Ziye chatted with Luo Tingzhu while waiting for someone.

Roughly ten minutes passed, a tall burly big guy appeared at the coffee shop entrance, and was even carefully looking for the table number.

"Professor Fang?" The burly big guy tried speaking in a pleasant announcer voice.

Fang Ziye heard this, raised his head, slightly stunned: "You are, Teacher Dong?"

Dong Ning, is that administrative 'Leader' in the new campus Hospital Director's Office who had Fang Ziye show him a clear path!

Called a leader, but actually just exiled there.

When chatting on the phone, Dong Ning's timbre was very pleasant, slightly magnetic.

Including now, his speech is also quite nice to listen to, but 1.9 meters height plus a body full of muscle, made Fang Ziye involuntarily flinch.

If he punched me, could I take it?

"Then that's right, Professor Fang, you also don't call me Teacher anything, call me Dong Ning."

"Thank you very much Professor Fang for taking precious holiday time to give me a chance to meet, this is the plan I organized based on your guidance, please review it! ~" After Dong Ning sat down, he went to take out computer and USB drive from backpack.

Fang Ziye heard this, gently shook his head: "No rush, Brother Dong, let's order coffee first, we'll chat slowly."

"Okay, I'll scan the code!" Dong Ning knows human relations, immediately scanned the ordering page, randomly tapped a cup, then handed the phone to Fang Ziye.

The other party is hospital staff, though possibly targeted, but obviously not down and out enough to not afford a coffee.

Fang Ziye also didn't stand on ceremony ordering a cup, after completing the order Fang Ziye said: "Brother Dong, the plan you fed back to me, I think is quite interesting, but the friend you recommended?"

"I'll just directly say my opinion, still lacking a bit of substance."

"Should pass a bit of research ability, but also just a bit, my side doesn't lack this kind of talent."

Fang Ziye did not deny that Dong Ning's friends also had some research talent, but they were truly mediocre; two or three could be found even in Trauma Surgery.

Hearing this, Dong Ning rolled his eyes, his voice still pleasant: "Professor Fang, I understand what you mean."

"Since my friend has no connection to this, I can't do anything! My planning document..."

Fang Ziye said: "I have already carefully read it."

"It's just that there's one thing I don't understand: since Brother Dong, you have such profound medical attainment in pharmaceutical R&D, why would you go into administration?"

Hearing this, Dong Ning let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "Professor Fang, this is my personal privacy; can I choose not to say?"

"But if you feel it is truly necessary to know, I can tell you."

Fang Ziye did not force him: "Then forget it, Brother Dong."

"Now your personnel are managed by Administration and the Hospital Director's Office; if I want to transfer you over, I don't need to go through the Pharmacy Department."

"But my future work direction may differ from your previous new drug R&D; are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Hearing this, Dong Ning laughed: "Professor Fang, what willingness or unwillingness is there? I knew that right now, only you can give me a clear path."

"Before this, I also sent 'resumes' to some other professors, but even Dean Wang was not interested in me."

"And... there aren't many people in our hospital who can bypass our Pharmacy Department Director."

"I just can't afford the money; otherwise, I would have run away long ago."

Dong Ning's expression was very contrasting—a big rough man, now "sighing and groaning" like a young girl, making people unable to hold back their laughter.

Dong Ning immediately said: "We've digressed, Professor Fang!"

"Now, as long as you fish me out, I'm willing to do anything; even if you let me do cell culture, it's fine."

"What about generic drug R&D?" Fang Ziye asked directly.

"Generic drugs? Why do this ox-and-horse work?" Dong Ning was a professional.

R&D of generic drugs was ox-and-horse work done by those who felt they had no future, at ordinary pharmaceutical companies, only walking others' paths, smelling others' farts to earn some living expenses.

"Brother Dong, don't rush yet; let me finish first. The generic drugs I want to make are different from ordinary generic drugs; I mean, make generic drugs surpass the genuine product."

"More precisely, it is to improve some generic drugs!" Fang Ziye said.

Hearing this, Dong Ning was even more surprised: "Professor Fang, you must not want to take me in, so you're joking with me, right?"

"If you are truly unwilling, there's no need to toy with a down-and-out person!" Dong Ning's tone turned serious.

"Brother Dong, you don't need to worry about whether it can be done yet; just say whether you're willing to do it! ~"

Fang Ziye said: "Since I brought it up, I naturally have some confidence."

"Then Professor Fang, which generic drugs do you plan to improve, and what categories?" Dong Ning asked further.

He, being a professional, was not easy to fool.

"Haven't decided yet." Fang Ziye looked like a charlatan pretending to be a mystic at this moment.

Dong Ning immediately packed his luggage and prepared to leave: "Professor Fang, excuse me, sorry for disturbing your rest; I understand what you mean."

"Brother Dong, trust those you trust, doubt those you don't."

"Since you chose me, why do you still doubt me?"

"I didn't even ask if you could do it well, and you've outright negated me?!?!"

"Where is there such reasoning?"

"Not listening to the plan, not doing the discussion, just leaving directly?" Fang Ziye did not stand up, just asked this one sentence.

Dong Ning of course had not finished packing his things, turned around and looked at Fang Ziye: "Professor Fang, you are a surgery professor, right?"

"Yes, but basic scientific research is all interconnected; can medical research in the pharmacy department be separated from cell experiments?" Fang Ziye counter-questioned.

Dong Ning continued to ask: "For such a broad research project, who provides the backing, who provides the funding? How much money can be put out?"

"Product information research, preliminary preparation, prescription process research, quality research, stability research, pharmacological toxicological research, application data preparation, organization and on-site verification of application, clinical research. So many procedures to go through."

"Less than twenty million, and we're just talking nonsense!"

Fang Ziye thought for a moment and replied: "The preliminary research investment alone can get at least one hundred million!"

According to incomplete statistics, the R&D cost of generic drugs is approximately five million US dollars, the R&D cycle is about two years; compared to original research drugs which often require investments of hundreds of millions or even billions of US dollars, the cost is obviously nearly one hundred times lower!

"Someone is investing money? If there's money, then it can be done?" Dong Ning sat down.

"But this isn't boasting, is it?"

"Naturally not, Brother Dong, you and I are just meeting for the first time; I definitely won't deceive you. Meeting you today is also to sincerely discuss this thing with you! ~"(Chapter End)
