Chapter 574: The Problem of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Managing the harem has always been a major difficulty.

Because of the old lady's seed‑splitting plan, the household is a bit murky and foul.

Yang Qing couldn't stay in Gangdao any longer.

During this time, Qin Huairu also felt unsettled and couldn't muster energy for anything.

Yang Qing knew she still wanted to go home, to see her child.

Yang Qing wasn't that cold‑hearted a person.

Although he didn't like Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu's feelings also had to be considered.

Evening.

Jia Xiao Fei returned from work, and Yang Qing suggested taking them home to have a look.

Qin Huairu's complexion visibly improved.

Jia Xiao Fei, however, was a bit reluctant to go back, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

She's already a young woman in her twenties; she can't be too willful.

"I might not have enough time; the hotel in Te Qu needs training."

"The training plan is what I'm handling."

Yang Qing saw that Jia Xiao Fei didn't want to go back, but he didn't say it outright; Jia Zhangshi wasn't very good to her.

"Let's go back and have a look; I heard Yi Da Ma is about to pass, so you should go see her off."

"This old lady served people her whole life, never enjoyed much blessing, and now she's gone."

Upon hearing of Yi Da Ma, Jia Xiao Fei recalled her care and couldn't harden her heart.

"Then I'll ask around to see if anyone else has time."

Yang Qing nodded and looked at his young son.

"Canghai, do you want to go to Jingcheng and have a look?"

Yang Canghai is already in his early teens; since childhood he's known his family is wealthy and his two older brothers are impressive.

Qin Huairu also impressed on him that he must work hard so his father can give him more support.

So this person is a bit scheming.

"Dad, I'll listen to you."

Yang Qing's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Qin Huairu.

"Yang Tian, what about you—do you want to go to Jingcheng and have a look?"

This guy hasn't gone astray; he's still a bit simple‑minded and sweet.

Qin Huairu focused her attention on Yang Canghai, neglecting him, which actually gave him a happy childhood.

"Dad, we should go; the teacher said domestically there's the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors, and many, many places…"

"I want to go see them."

Yang Qing showed a smile.

Afterwards he looked at Yang Yuntian and Yang Zhangfeng.

"Do you two want to go have a look?"

Yang Yuntian, following Chen Xueru, had already learned to manage business from an early age.

"Dad, I want to go back and find some handicraft talent."

"The products of Splendid World are still a bit too few."

"Mom has always wanted to expand, but talent is hard to come by."

Yang Zhangfeng and Yang Tian are a pair, fond of play, but influenced by Chen Xueru they've become very interested in classical things.

"Dad, I've heard domestic antiquities are cheap; I want to buy some for my collection."

"Do you support me?"

Yang Qing……

"You, Guang Tian Shu, have studied this a bit; go ask him—he knows some people and maybe can teach you something."

Yang Zhangfeng raised his hand.

"Then I'll go."

Yang Qing looked at Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru directly refused.

"I'm busy with the Four Great Beauties affair; you guys go."

Domestically she got a bad impression.

Besides, Yang Qing is bold‑hearted; she doesn't want to go and put a warm face on someone else's cold backside.

"You rascal, Splendid World relies entirely on the domestic market."

"If you don't move around more, you won't fear that suppliers will cut you off."

Chen Xueru also couldn't hold back anymore.

"Now the quality of foreign goods is also improving, and others are still researching new fabrics."

"Without them, would I even still be alive?"

"Moreover, do you think they don't have designs on our supply sources?"

"Recently, someone tampered with my goods; the materials sent over dropped a grade in quality."

"I can't rely entirely on them; those people, with a bit of power, act lawlessly."

"If I were to fawn over them and associate with them, believe it or not, they'd only push further."

"This matter, you don't need to worry about it; I have my own plan."

You can't always rely on others for high-quality supply.

I will open up Splendid World's industrial chain.

I not only want to produce and sell on my own, but also invest in researching new fabrics and techniques.

Also, don't blame me for not warning you: someone is selling traditional Chinese medicine formulas and patents.

Haven't you noticed? Those few Chinese medicine companies haven't developed new drugs in a long time.

Even applications for Chinese medicine patents have stopped.

Since the opening, we agents have become dispensable.

Yang Qing's face darkened.

He also understood Chen Xueru's resentment.

This is preparing to get rid of the donkey after the mill.

Maybe they won't kill the donkey, but the exclusive license will likely be gone.

Once competition appears, the manner of those domestic things.

They will surely throw the market into chaos.

High-profit industries can be driven down to cabbage prices by them.

Don't even mention patent rights; they're useless, and they won't care at all.

You don't dare to mess with them; if you dare to bring up patents, they'll dare to cut off your supply.

They dare to do this because the supply is in their hands.

History is always similar.

Yang Qing's painstakingly guarded Chinese medicine patent will probably still end up in the hands of little Japan.

Although it's a license, given little Japan's comfortable resources, they will surely dominate in new drug research and production, crushing domestic efforts.

Moreover, the medicinal materials are still domestically sourced.

Domestic Chinese medicine, having lost the international market, will likely gradually lose influence just as in history.

Top-grade medicinal materials have all been sold off, manufacturing is no good, with no profit feedback, development is worthless.

Domestic veteran Chinese medicine practitioners can't obtain top-grade medicinal materials, and they may also face suppression.

In a few years, Western medicine will become powerful (mainly due to high profits), and suppressing Chinese medicine (for money) will become a trend.

Various ways of making things difficult for veteran Chinese medicine practitioners will also keep emerging.

Those bastards, what wouldn't they do?

Isn't sending all those old Chinese medicine practitioners away something they would do?

Cut off medicinal materials, cut off qualifications, making it impossible for you to survive.

Just relying on those honest Chinese medicine practitioners probably won't be enough.

Yang Qing needs to handle this matter.

Otherwise, Daxia will eventually become a place where medical corruption is so entrenched no one dares to act.

Chinese medicine is the fundamental factor controlling all of this.

This is a war.

The Chinese medicine system, from medicinal materials to treatment, must return to the hands of veteran practitioners.

The training mechanism for Chinese medicine also needs improvement, still to be carried out through master-apprentice instruction.

Western-style education fundamentally cannot produce qualified Chinese medicine practitioners, but we should introduce Western medicine's medical science.

We need to conduct scientific research on Chinese medicinal materials.

"Fine, as long as it develops our technology and culture, you can do whatever you want."

"I won't involve Daxia in this."

"But I still hope you keep part of the industry in Daxia."

"Daxia won't stay like this forever; it's getting better."

"And if Splendid World separates from Daxia, is it still Splendid World?"

Chen Xueru nodded.

She was angry, but she still sided with her husband.

Why things have deteriorated so quickly is probably closely related to those second-generation's turnover indicators.
