Chapter 106 [Difficulties in Traditional Chinese Medicine]

As the last patient took the medicine and left the pharmacy, Fangzheng, his grandfather and grandson were also free.

Everyone came to sit in the next room, and when the little loli saw Fang Chengyao coming in, she said obediently and softly: "Hi, uncle!"

Seeing Little Lolita, Fang Chengyao showed a simple smile and said: "Xiao Yanyan is really getting more and more agile, third brother is blessed."

Hearing this, Fangzheng felt a little embarrassed and helpless. The old man seemed to be speaking to him. He was almost twenty-six years old and still unmarried, let alone a child. Moreover, Fang Chengyao was a single heir of two generations, only one Son, and then there is only Fangzheng as a grandson.

It is actually not difficult for Fang Chengyao to make money, but his family is still poor when he opens a pharmacy. People who don't know him don't believe it. After all, the "business" of his pharmacy is booming, and there are an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment.

In fact, he was really poor, which also made it very difficult for Fang Zheng to find a wife. Fang Chengyao was actually very entangled in his heart. On the one hand, he was inheriting the family, and on the other hand, he was inheriting traditional Chinese medicine.

But he doesn't want the traditional Chinese medicine heritage of his ancestors to be lost in his hands. His grandson Fang began to learn Chinese medicine with him when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and it has been more than ten years now.

"Uncle, I actually have an immature idea when I come back this time. I want to start a Chinese medicine company, aiming at revitalizing Chinese medicine, continuing the inheritance from my ancestors, and benefiting the world." Fang Hong looked at fourth uncle and said.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Fang Chengde also looked at Fang Hong in surprise, sighed and shook his head when he saw his sincerity: "It's difficult, it's hard to go to the blue sky, it's almost impossible for a real Chinese medicine doctor." Revitalize."

Hearing his assertion, Fang Hong couldn't help saying: "Why did uncle say that?"

Fang Zheng took a step forward at this time and said: "I hope that people in the world will be free from disease, so why not put medicine on the shelf to make dust. The real Chinese medicine is not a business to make money at all. In this world, only by making a lot of money can you attract talents from all walks of life. Chinese medicine is a business that saves money, and scammers under the banner of Chinese medicine say otherwise, but the real Chinese medicine is a business that helps people save money and avoid illness with less money, so it is naturally not seen by people.”

Speaking of this, anyway, he added with a helpless smile: "People outside think that our family has made a lot of money from opening this pharmacy, but in fact, we can't even pay for the renovation of our house."

Fang Hong couldn't help admiring the persistence of the grandfather and grandson. There are really not many people like this. If they lower the bottom line a little bit, they won't be able to say that they can't even pay for the renovation of the family house.

Fangzheng continued: "A few months ago, there was also a group of people who wanted to buy out our prescriptions. Cousin, do you know what they think? They wanted to buy out the prescriptions and hide them from use, and they promised me a lot of money from now on." Abandoning medicine, and even brazenly saying that "the medicine is good medicine, and the prescription is also good, but it is not a good commodity. The kind of medicine that is good once you take it is a good commodity." At that time, my grandfather was so angry. ..."

As he said that, Fangzheng shook his head with a wry smile.

After a while, Fang Chengyao said slowly: "The difficulty of traditional Chinese medicine is not the difficulty of revitalizing it, but more importantly, the difficulty of inheriting it."

Hearing this, Fang Hong nodded and said: "Indeed, it is difficult to train a doctor, and it is even more difficult to train a Chinese medicine doctor."

Fangzheng immediately said: "The ancestors left behind many rules, and the threshold is too high. Anyone who studies Chinese medicine must first cultivate virtue, then learn to practice, and then practice medicine."

And Fang Chengyao also often emphasized to Fang Zheng that he must observe him for many years to accept apprentices in the future, and he must truly understand his virtues, good and evil before deciding whether to accept him or not.

Medicine can save people, but the same medicine can also kill people.

Fang Chengyao said succinctly: "If you have virtue but no talent, your virtue is usable; if you have talent but no virtue, your talent is difficult to use."

It is worth mentioning that Fangzheng's ancestors did not refer to the ancestors of the Fang family, but those ancient doctors and sages.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying of "Top Ten Medicine Ancestors", which are generally considered to be these ten people: "King of Medicine" Sun Simiao, "Father of Pulse Science" Bian Que, "Father of Surgery" Hua Tuo, "Sage of Medicine" Zhang Zhongjing, " Huang Pumi, the originator of acupuncture and moxibustion, Ge Hong, the "Emperor of Medicine", Qian Yi, the "Sage of Pediatrics", Zhu Zhenheng, "Mr. Danxi", Li Shizhen, the "Sage of Medicine", and Ye Tianshi, the "Fever Disease Expert".

Obviously, Chinese medicine has a high threshold, which is reflected in virtue.

Just as Fang Chengyao said: If you have virtue but no talent, your virtue is usable; if you have talent but no virtue, your talent is difficult to use.

It can be seen from this that a qualified Chinese medicine doctor with truly superb medical skills needs to have both ability and political integrity. Such people are actually rare in the current environment of "looking at money", which restricts the inheritance of Chinese medicine. Those who can achieve something in their studies usually follow the master's side to show their ears and eyes since they were young, and it often takes ten or twenty years to come out to see a doctor.

The real Chinese medicine emphasizes helping the world and saving the people, not making money or trying to let patients spend less money,

Seeing a Chinese medicine doctor to get a pulse and taking some medicine may solve the problem for tens of dollars.

But in Western medicine, if you go to a department and do a test, you will spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and you don’t know what disease you have, and you will go to the next department and talk hundreds or thousands of dollars, but you still don’t know what the disease is.

But for one to train Chinese medicine, he has to study hard for ten or twenty years before he can come out to see a doctor. Traditional Chinese medicine here is too difficult to practice and earns very little, while Western medicine over there pays faster.

Chinese medicine is difficult to learn and does not make money. In an environment where everything is "looking at money", naturally no parents of any family are willing to let their children enter this field. No one talks about inheritance?

Like Fang Chengyao and his father, they abide by the rules of their ancestors. They must not only have superb medical skills but also have a heart of benevolence. The price is poverty. No family is willing to let their children choose such a path.

At the end, Fang Hong said in a deep voice: "Uncle, I know it is very difficult, but someone has to do it. Now foreigners are crazy to use the inheritance of their ancestors to register patents. People steal it, but foreigners do it very well.”

Fang Hong further added: "They may not continue to ask for prescriptions, but choose to preemptively register various herbal medicine patents. Even if we have prescriptions and keep them, we can use medicines to cure diseases and save lives. At that time, herbal medicines will be their patent monopoly. If we use medicines, we have to pay foreigners expensive medicine fees, otherwise we won’t be able to use them, and we’ll be screwed in the end.”

When the uncle heard this, he couldn't sit still on the spot, his face was sullen, but after a while he sighed helplessly, looking quite powerless.

Fang Zheng looked at Fang Hong and said, "Cousin, if you want to do it, what do you plan to do?"

In the past period of time, Fang Hong had initially thought of a solution, and said immediately: "My plan is to establish a family business. It has become a place where traditional Chinese medicine is passed down, but this requires the support of my uncle and my old man to make it work."

Hearing this, fourth uncle Fang Chengyao couldn't help looking at Fang Hong, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this scene, Fang Hong knew that his fourth uncle had been touched, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "To be honest with my uncle, I made a lot of money running a technology company outside, so my idea is to let the children in the village learn Chinese medicine from a young age, and let them learn Chinese medicine from a young age. Grab it, you, uncle, will sit in town to find seedlings, and you, uncle, will make the decision."

Immediately afterwards, Fang Hong said: "Anyone in the village who is willing to send his own child to learn Chinese medicine, I will build a new house for him, and the child will work in our family business when he grows up. We also give him guarantees, for example, when we turn a large mountain area in the village into a medicine garden to grow medicinal herbs, we can always grow medicinal herbs if we can’t go to the doctor, right?”

It is worth mentioning that if outsiders go to the countryside to contract planting business, they will generally be GG, because the locals will "deceit". It's too radical. If the old man lies down on the spot, you will be numb immediately.

But Fang Hong is a native of the village, and there is an old man Fang Chengde in his family who is like a treasure. He is a real person with high morals and high prestige.

These rare conditions are met, so Fang Hong now has a very strong vision to slowly build his hometown, a large village of more than 4,000 people, into a very distinctive, even in the future, in ten to twenty years. The world-renowned traditional Chinese medicine family inheritance place.

To do this, Fang Hong knew very well that he had to spend money at all costs, and it would take a huge time cost, after all, he had to start with a baby.

The first thing is to ensure that the children in the village who are willing to learn Chinese medicine do not have to worry about their future, so that their parents will not have to worry about the future and are willing to let their children study medicine.

It costs money!

But the good news is that in Fang Hong's place, as long as the problems can be solved with money, it is generally not a big problem.

After hearing Fang Hong's description, Uncle Fang Chengyao was surprised but also bluntly said: "San'er, then you will die, it won't last long, this matter is unreliable."

As he said that, the uncle shook his head again and again, obviously not optimistic at all.

Fang Hong smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm definitely not crazy, and I really have a lot of money. You have to believe me, is one hundred million enough? Is one billion enough? If it's not enough, you can add it. I don't believe it. Make a piece of the sky!"

The second elder brother Fang Ping and the cousin Fang Zheng stared at Fang Hong with wide eyes. Even Fang Chengyao was at a loss for words for a while, but immediately felt that what this kid said was even more unreliable, and said immediately: " San'er, don't make fun of uncle publicly."

If you say millions and millions, my uncle may believe it.

Good guy, it's a billion or a billion when you open your mouth at every turn, it's unreliable to hear.

Fang Hong also said helplessly: "Uncle, I'm really rich, don't you believe me? Oh, by the way, I came to the county this time to see you, and I also went to the bank to withdraw money, and I wanted to withdraw 3 million yuan. Cash, don't you believe that I will get the money back later and show you?"

As soon as these words came out, Fangzheng asked in shock, "Is it true?"

As he said that, he looked at Fang Ping with a questioning look on his face, and the latter nodded and said: "It's true, the appointment has been made, and we have to go to the bank to withdraw money in a while."

Fang Hong smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't have to express your opinion in a hurry, think about it later and give me an answer. In my heart, I hope that the inheritance of my ancestors can continue to be carried forward, and at the same time lead our Fang family members and the entire village Let's get rich and become well-off..."

Speaking of this, Fang Hong was about to make a big move, and went directly to his uncle and whispered: "Uncle, you have to think about the situation of your cousin, he is twenty-six, he is your grandson, and he is just like this!" There is only one seedling, I can't delay any longer..."

These words can be said to have accurately hit fourth uncle's heart knot and pain point that he didn't want to mention. Fang Chengyao stared at Fang Hong, but didn't say a word.

Fang Hong smiled again: "Uncle, don't worry, this way will definitely work. After the patent is squatted, our family business won't make money from the Chinese people. The money sold to the Chinese people is only enough to cover the cost and maintain the business." , only earning money from foreigners, the price of selling to foreigners must be set at a high price, so it can be maintained for a long time.”

At the end, Fang Chengyao immediately said: "Don't think about it anymore, you little clever ghost knows that uncle will agree to you."

Fang Hong smiled knowingly. The whisper he just said to him played a very important role. He put away his thoughts and nodded, "Then trouble you to nominate our family business again."

Hearing this, Fang Chengyao thought for a while, and then said, "How about calling it 'Fang's Medicine Hall'?"

Fang Hong nodded immediately and said, "It's according to uncle."

The name is not important, the important thing is to let the uncle nominate and mention the words.

This matter is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, but it is not impossible. Fang Chengyao nodded and took an important first step. The next step is to settle the old man. Fang Hong is also confident. The following series of questions are one by one. a solution.
