Chapter 575

Originally Yang Qing planned to go back to Jingcheng to relax.

But now he has a goal.

Mainland has been inviting him to invest, but because of the business environment problem, Yang Qing has been investing in several open areas.

He hasn't gone too deep.

This time he's going back with a purpose.

Then he can't just go simply; he needs to bring a business team.

Especially those few medicine agents, he wants to call them for a talk.

These agents were originally medicine families.

That's why they have the treatment of agents.

They are Zhang, Li, Qu, Bai, Song.

Zhang and Li are mostly in the north, Qu and Song mostly in the south, and the Bai family is skilled at using Mongol, Tibetan and other ethnic minority medicinal techniques and medicines.

They currently have little development in Gangdao; returning to the Mainland is the foundation for their continued development.

But they are few and insignificant; returning they fear being left with nothing, not even scraps.

Still the same saying: they are not overseas Chinese, they are a group of people who have fled.

Their treatment should be one level lower than others'.

Of course there are some things Yang Qing still needs to make clear to them.

"This time going back, I plan to unify the Chinese medicine system and restart the master-apprentice system."

"Also need to build the Chinese medicine industry chain and industry cluster."

"We must unite most of the Chinese medicine practitioners in Daxia."

"If you want to monopolize or control a part, that's impossible."

"Hope you find your proper position."

"I think you'd better do well as agents, promoting Chinese medicine worldwide."

"The world market: the more you develop, the greater the profit you can obtain."

"You don't need to compete domestically."

The several families immediately expressed.

"Director Yang, we understand what you said; as long as our distribution rights are not broken, we are willing to contribute to Daxia's Chinese medicine."

"However, Western medicine is now mainstream; we fear we will encounter great resistance."

"After all, with Western medicine, as long as the factory runs at full capacity to produce, the medicine produced only needs to be taken orally."

"But our Chinese medicine requires planting, gathering, processing, storage, and also needs old Chinese medicine practitioners to match and decoct; the taste is also not good."

"Our Chinese medicine has a natural disadvantage."

"Moreover, if Chinese medicine becomes widespread, the price of medicinal herbs could also be driven up to very high levels."

"If this fatal point is not solved, even if we strive harder, we will probably find it hard to achieve results."

"Moreover, if not handled well, it may also invite backlash."

Yang Qing is someone who has lived a previous life, knowing the irreplaceability of Chinese medicine.

Western medicine is not a panacea; it also has many problems it cannot solve, whereas Chinese medicine can.

Moreover, many Chinese medicine methods are also more scientific than Western medicine.

For example, treating a fracture, Western medicine requires surgery with steel plates.

And many old Chinese physicians only need a simple fixation for patients to recover.

For example, dislocation—some Western doctors even need surgery to resolve it, while an old Chinese doctor only needs to perform a simple reduction.

"So we need to study Western medical science."

"We extract the effective components from Chinese medicine and make them into pills, granules, and oral liquids."

"Furthermore, through scientific research, we can extract effective molecules from Chinese medicine, such as artemisinin."

"Chinese medicine is a treasure trove; we just haven't developed it."

"For example, goji berries can enhance virility—can't we develop functional drinks from them?"

"There are many things that can be developed from Chinese medicine."

"If we develop it properly, we can not only gain profit but also promote the development of Chinese medicine."

"I plan to establish the Chinese Medicine Association; members who engage in commercial development must contribute a certain proportion of their profits to the Chinese Medicine Fund."

"The Chinese Medicine Fund is mainly used to encourage research on medicinal material cultivation, protect the environment of wild Chinese medicinal materials, and support scientific research in Chinese medicine."

"At the same time, members can also obtain development rights to the results of Chinese medicine research."

"I hope we can create a benign environment for the development of Chinese medicine."

"Protect the development of the Chinese medicine cause."

"This will be an arduous negotiation task."

"Because we want to regulate the Chinese medicine market, it will affect many people's interests."

"But we have no choice but to do it."

"Qingyun Business Consulting Company will find people worldwide and devise a feasible plan."

"I will go ahead to scout the route; once you are ready, follow the people from Qingyun Business Consulting Company."

Yang Qing's described scene made them excited.

A regulated market is beneficial to them.

Unlike now, being blocked by someone means a dead end.

Each person gapes with a gluttonous big mouth, wishing to devour you completely.

Moreover, even after taking yours, he might not defend the whole market; on the contrary, they'll extract even more profit, leaving a mess everywhere.

Translation: "Moreover, having taken yours, he may not necessarily defend the whole market; on the contrary, they will extract even more benefit, leaving a mess everywhere."

We need to keep same meaning, not add. Let's produce a concise translation: "Moreover, having taken yours, he may not necessarily defend the whole market; on the contrary, they will extract even more benefit, leaving a mess everywhere."

Check if any added words: "having taken yours" corresponds to "having taken yours". "he may not necessarily defend the whole market" corresponds to "he may not necessarily defend the whole market". "on the contrary, they will extract even more benefit" corresponds to "on the contrary, they will extract even more benefit". "leaving a mess everywhere" corresponds to "leaving a mess everywhere". Good.

Yang Qing again led a business delegation to the capital. Most were members of the Jingmen, and Lou Xiao'e was conspicuously among them.

We need to keep each line as a single output line. So we translate both sentences.

"Yang Qing brought a business delegation to Jingcheng again. Most were members of the Jingmen, and Lou Xiao'e was conspicuously among them."

Check: "Jingmen" maybe a sect or organization; we translate as "Jingmen". Not in glossary; we need to list it as a sect/clan/faction. So we will add "Jingmen". Also "members of the Jingmen" => "members of the Jingmen". "was conspicuously among them" => "was conspicuously among them". Good.

Translation: "Youde was also in Jingcheng; in the welcoming party, Yang Qing actually saw him."

At the same time, it is also resentment toward Yang Qing for giving him eye drops on this spine eye.

This line is tricky: it refers to resentment toward Yang Qing for putting eye drops on him in this spine eye.

But we need to be faithful: it means at the same time, it is also resentment toward Yang Qing for giving him eye drops on this spine eye.

We'll output that.

After all, Yang Qing was still someone's person, so after meeting with the welcoming party, Yang Qing had to get in the same vehicle as Youde.

Translation: "After all, Yang Qing was still someone's person, so after meeting with the welcoming party, he had to get in the same vehicle as Youde."

Check: "After all, Yang Qing was still someone's person." => "After all, Yang Qing was still someone's person." "so after meeting with the welcoming party" => "so after meeting with the welcoming party". "Yang Qing had to get in the same vehicle as Youde." => "Yang Qing had to get in the same vehicle as Youde." Good.
