Chapter 305 This is much more profitable than medicine

When the name of the disease 'Mende syndrome' appeared in the journal.

Due to the long distance, the sample issue was still traveling across the ocean, and Wang Mengde didn’t know about it. Even if he knew, he couldn’t change it because the journal had already been published.

At this moment, he was examining Old John carefully.

After about two months of treatment, Old John recovered very well. If he hadn't been so scared, he would have asked China to airlift the 18-year-old girl he had just met a few months ago to him.

As a carnivore, he hasn't tasted meat for several months.

It was for the sake of his own life that he cultivated his character and patiently lived in this small and poorly equipped ward.

"Doctor Wang, is my illness completely cured?"

When Old John saw Wang Mengde taking his pulse, he looked like he was in a trance, with his eyes narrowed and his head held high.

So he asked cautiously.

"Well, I've almost recovered.

Take the medicine for another week to consolidate the results, and then you can be discharged from the hospital.

Of course, after being discharged from the hospital, you cannot do strenuous exercise within one month, but you can do some moderate exercise. "

Wang Mengde came back to his senses and gave instructions.

To be honest, even though he only prescribed a few medicines for Old John's illness, the treatment only took about two months.

But the brain power consumed is very huge.

This disease had never been encountered before, and he had to figure it out bit by bit on his own.

In other words, his medical skills continue to improve significantly every year. Otherwise, if it were himself two years ago, there would be no way to cure this disease.

Even finding the cause of the disease is difficult.

"That's great, Doctor Wang, you are my lifesaver.

To express my gratitude, I will give you $200,000 for your medical treatment.”

Old John said excitedly.

At the same time, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

As a qualified top-level person who has been exposed to capital since childhood, he began to calculate habitually.

If Wang Mengde told him when he first came to China that it would cost one million US dollars to cure his illness, he would sign the check without saying a word.

But now it’s different. He can already feel that he will be able to recover soon.

In addition, during his time in China, although he was in the ward every day, he was able to discover from clues the Chinese concept of foreign exchange.

Moreover, for other patients who come for treatment, the medical expenses are mostly between 50,000 and 100,000 US dollars.

So, he simply reduced the medical fee to one-fifth, although he had joked before that he would pay one million dollars.

To be honest, he gave more than most people, and if he didn't know that the disease he suffered from was indeed rare, he would really want to reduce it even more.

Wang Mengde sneered in his heart after hearing his words.

Sure enough, for these people, no matter whether it is a life-saving favor or not, they can throw it all aside in the face of interests.

Wilson had saved the lives of three members of their family before, but at the end of last year, he even tried to kidnap himself.

The same is true of the old man in front of me.

However, he had anticipated this situation long ago and had a backup plan.

"Mr. John, curing illnesses and saving lives is what I should do. As for the medical fees, I will not get involved.

By the way, it is not very accurate to say that you have recovered from your illness, because you will need to come to China every year from now on.

Firstly, it is to check whether there are other risks. Secondly, it is necessary to take Chinese medicine for two weeks to prevent recurrence. If no treatment is received after one year, the probability of recurrence is about 80%.

And as time goes by, the probability will increase, and within five years it will become 100 percent.”

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

Among all the doctors and experts in the world, only he can cure the disease that Old John suffers from.

For others, let alone treatment, it would be great if they could figure out the cause of the disease.

He's not bragging.

Just after a new issue of the journal is printed and sent around the world.

The world's top medical experts, hospitals and research institutions have seen the two papers published by Wang Mengde.

After reading the paper, these people immediately knew that the patient must be Old John.

Because before this, they had all treated old John, and even consulted together, but they had no idea what was going on, so they were particularly impressed by this disease.

They didn't expect that there was actually someone who could cure this disease.

In the great United States, Maurice Hitler looks more decadent than he was a year ago.

Over the past six months, due to the failed kidnapping, several years of planning were ruined, and he has been depressed until now.

Even his daily research was neglected, and he spent every day drowning his sorrows in alcohol and taking 'Palace Emperor Pills'.

However, his research institute is still one of the best in the world, so he also saw Wang Mengde's paper by chance.

When he saw the familiar name, Morris Hilt sighed, threw the journal directly into the trash can, turned around and walked out of the institute and headed straight for the happy place.

Now, only a brief moment of happiness can make him forget his previous failure.

Old John was stunned to hear that he would have to come here every year for follow-up treatment, otherwise the disease would relapse within five years.

"Doctor Wang, since I will have to trouble you every year in the future, the consultation fee I just mentioned is far from enough.

Let me ask my butler to give the hospital one million dollars in a moment. Please take care of my illness in the future."

He changes his expression very quickly. In front of life, money is completely worthless.

He didn't dare to bet whether what the other party said was true or false.

And even if it was a lie, he had no way to verify it, because the world's top medical experts had not been able to diagnose and treat it before, let alone conduct subsequent examinations.

Now he could only believe that Wang Mengde was telling the truth.

"Haha, Mr. John, I've told you before that I won't get involved in the matter of consultation fees."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

With one million dollars in hand, all his hard work over the past two months was worth it.

At the same time, he was wondering whether his superiors would allocate more funds to the hospital since Old John paid so much for the medical treatment this time.

There is now a huge amount of money stored in the hospital's small treasury.

It is necessary to suggest to leaders that they should provide more benefits during the New Year and other holidays.

After all, money lying in the account is just a string of cold numbers. It is better to take it out and spend it to improve the lives of all employees.

After the inspection, Wang Mengde said a few polite words and prepared to leave.

At this time, Old John suddenly asked:
"Doctor Wang, what is the main cause of my illness?"

It's an extra $800,000, and I'll have to come once a year in the future, and each time it will definitely cost a lot of money for the consultation.

Therefore, he was unwilling to give in and made preparations for both scenarios.

On the one hand, I come here every year for treatment to ensure my own health.

On the other hand, if we can get some clues about the physical condition, relying on the powerful scientific and technological level of Western countries, maybe one day, we can conquer this disease. Wang Mengde thought about it for a while and naturally understood his intention.

However, he had absolute confidence in himself and in the difficulty of this disease.

Not to mention this era, even in the future when he traveled through time, the level of technological development would not be achieved in ten or eight years.

So, he said openly:

"Mr. John, the reason for your illness is that you have lost some essential trace elements in your body, such as iron, zinc and calcium.

And it is lost many times faster than normal people. Once it is lacking, the body will show different symptoms. "

After listening to his explanation, John said with emotion:

“So that’s the reason.

Because I had other diseases, I didn't realize that essential trace elements for the human body are so important.

But think about it, some of the health problems that we old guys are starting to have are related to this.

For example, the elderly are generally calcium deficient. It would be great if there was a medicine or health product that could quickly replenish this calcium.”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Old John might have sighed subconsciously.

But when Wang Mengde heard it, he became interested.

Right!

If there is anything that can generate higher profits than medicine, health supplements are definitely one of them.

Over the years, he has been accustomed to researching medicines that can cure diseases, while ignoring the super profitable health products in later generations.

In this world, the consumption of the elderly is not low, especially when it comes to health care products.

As long as it works, or is well promoted, ordinary people and powerful people alike are willing to believe it and give it a try.

Even though we know that the probability of cheating is very high, we are still willing to gamble on that one percent hope.

Moreover, with his abilities, it would be a piece of cake for him to develop some effective health products.

Thinking of this, Wang Mengde was excited. After patiently chatting with Old John for a few words, he hurried to his own clinic.

When I got to the clinic, I took out paper and pen and started writing and drawing.

It took him half a day, and before the end of the get off work day, he finally wrote out a few prescriptions based on the prescription he had given to old John.

After thinking about it, he put away the other ones and kept only one, then took it in his hand and walked straight to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, you are here to ask about the matter we talked about last time.

Hey, I have reported this matter to my superiors a long time ago, because it involves that special raw material. Although it is not produced domestically, there are always some people who have different opinions.

The superiors are also undecided. I heard at a meeting some time ago that the matter has been reported. I will tell you as soon as I have the news. "

Seeing him hurried in, Dean Lu thought he was asking about the results of the last conversation, so he explained.

That prescription had already been produced in China, and was gradually being rolled out in many provinces.

According to the feedback received, the drug is very effective and has few side effects.

The country also has a plan to completely replace and eliminate a number of drugs, mainly "Aspirin", which have serious side effects, in the next two years.

"Dean, I'm not here to talk about the last incident, but I have a new idea."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

"Oh, what's your idea? Tell me quickly."

When Dean Lu heard that he had new ideas, he instantly became interested.

Every time I had a new idea, it meant that good things were coming.

"It's like this. While treating Old John, I discovered a..."

Wang Mengde told the whole story in detail. Finally, he said excitedly:

"Dean, if we sell health products overseas, it will be more profitable than the pharmaceutical business."

In this era, there was basically no domestic health care product market, and he was also completely clueless about the foreign health care product market.

But it does not mean that there is no market abroad. On the contrary, this market has always existed and is still very huge.

Everyone fears death, especially the elderly.

As a developed country or a country that has experienced primitive capital accumulation, there are many wealthy middle-class people, and these people are his potential target customers.

"Can this really make so much money?"

Dean Lu was a little confused.

He was not doubting whether he could make money, but he was a little unconvinced that the profit from health products could exceed that from medicines.

You know, in recent years, although there are only a few types of medicines exported, the foreign exchange earned is very substantial.

According to statistics from relevant departments in the first half of this year, this figure has almost reached 200 million US dollars.

With the continued integration of the pharmaceutical "trust", several pharmaceutical factories have changed their products, and there is an abundance of raw materials.

It is estimated that sales in the second half of the year may exceed 200 million US dollars.

Such a huge amount of foreign exchange income has greatly improved the country's finances.

Many projects that were shelved due to funding issues are gradually being launched.

"Dean, why don't we tell our partners and see their reactions first."

Wang Mengde did not give too much explanation, but instead offered some advice.

It is hard for people who have not experienced it to imagine how crazy the health care product industry is.

Let’s put it this way, for the sake of those illusory effects, many elderly people have been defrauded of their life savings.

In the 1990s in China, when all industries were growing rapidly, some people became the richest people by relying on health products, with sales of billions a year.

I'm afraid only God knows how effective those health products are.

But Wang Mengde's prescription does have some real effects. Of course, he is not a god, and the actual effects will not be too exaggerated, but it will have some improvement effect.

"That's right, it's useless for us to guess here, we need to ask those people."

Dean Lu also said suddenly:

"Well, tell me in detail about the efficacy of this prescription, and I will report to my superiors immediately. The delivery date is in two days, so I will communicate with them then.

We will also produce a batch of samples in advance as we did before, and let them take them back to try."

Sunday.

evening.

In the central courtyard of the quadrangle, all the neighbors gathered together, preparing to hold a general meeting.

In the middle of the crowd, there is still the familiar small square table.

Liu Haizhong sat in the middle and coughed twice to attract everyone's attention. Then he imitated the way the leaders of the steel mill held a meeting and spoke in a pretentious manner:
"Today's full hospital meeting was attended by the leaders of the street and neighborhood committees, who assigned tasks.

That is, from now on, if anyone eats eggs, they must collect the eggshells and give them to the second uncle in the front yard for safekeeping, waiting for the comrades from the neighborhood committee to come and pick them up regularly. "
