Chapter 8: Cure or not?(1/2)
The business has started. Although it is still far away for the money to be repaid, Liu Feng directly announced that the monthly bonus will be determined by the sales quantity in the future, and a reward commission standard has been formulated.
This made everyone's enthusiasm ignite instantly and they were full of energy every day.
Because sales are getting better and better every day, the people who come to buy this "Courtesy Court Plaster" are basically here to come, and many of them are repeat customers, and everyone praises this plaster as really good.
Reputation of reputation cannot be established in one day. Mao Chengcheng was particularly excited during this period. He did not make a prize, but watched the number of customers coming to buy medicines day by day, and the joy in his heart was indescribable.
He actually couldn't get through the salary of 100 yuan per month. He knew that Liu Feng was helping him. Moreover, his second sister had been treating her illness for so long, and she had never asked her family for money. Every time she asked for money, Liu Feng smiled and said that she would talk about it when the illness was cured.
Mao Chengcheng also remembered this friendship in his heart, so of course he especially hoped that Liu Feng could make a lot of money in his business, and he also sincerely hoped that Liu Feng could make a fortune.
After Liu Feng saw that the business was ready, he became a little salted fish. Now he sells dozens of plaster patches every day. In his opinion, this income is just a small fuss. There is no way, he only has so much capital. It is not easy to create this situation just now.
As for business, there is no hurry. The effect and reputation of this plaster have just begun to ferment, so let the bullets fly for a while.
Liu Feng still lives in his uncle Mao Chengcheng's house. His uncle didn't charge him rent before, but now his business is open. He is embarrassed to live in other people's house for nothing. Finally, he told his uncle directly that it costs fifty yuan a month, after all, a whole floor is quite large.
His uncle was unwilling to do so. In this era, the salary for working outside is only fifty yuan a month. How could it cost fifty yuan to rent a house? What's more, this is the countryside in the suburbs and rural areas.
Liu Feng said he wanted to give money, but the other party didn't want it. In the end, there was no way. Liu Feng bought good cigarettes and wine and sent it to the old man. The other party reluctantly couldn't accept it. In the end, Liu Feng and his wife had a meal, bought meat and wine to treat Liu Feng and his wife well, and said that they had returned the favor.
People in this era still value feelings very much. At the dinner table, his uncle said this directly, you are the company commander of Mao Chengcheng, and you are still helping the Mao family's children treat the disease. If you still charge you and your wife's money, are you still human? Don't worry about living here, how long you want to live!"
Since he said that, Liu Feng could only reluctantly accept it.
Liu Feng was not sure how long he would live here, but for at least one year, in addition to curing Mao Chengcheng's second sister, he could also use the strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside to slowly penetrate the plaster patch into the urban area. Of course, this has to be done slowly.
In this world, Liu Feng’s desire to make money is far less than in other worlds, because he knows very well that his future is destined to be very rich, so why bother rushing?
The business is getting better, but this sales volume is not enough for a person's workload. In addition, Mao Chengcheng is watching at the pharmacy, and Liu Feng's time has also been taken out.
In this era, there was quite a shortage of supplies. Although the house where Liu Feng lived was quite large, it had three bedrooms and one living room, there was no furniture inside. Except for a bed, the others were basically empty. Liu Feng also took advantage of this time to buy a set of furniture, sofa mattresses, tables and tableware at a nearby market, all of which were new, and even a black and white TV.
Although she only decided to live for one year, Liu Feng would never give up on the quality of life. She had promised He Xiaoping that she would make her live happily and happily for the rest of her life. As a man, she would do what she said.
He Xiaoping ran around with her some time ago, and thanked her for her hard work. Now that she has time, it is time to enjoy the world of couples.
The couple went to the vegetable market to buy fresh vegetables together every day, then cooked together, and finally stumbled on the sofa at night, watched TV series, and then studied the secret of happiness between husband and wife. The life was so comfortable.
Liu Feng also enjoys this kind of life. There is no confusion in the future, no difficulties in life material life, and his little wife is also beautiful and charming. Regardless of her personality or figure, she is her ideal type. Why bother rush to enjoy every day and every moment is what he wants to do at this moment.
Liu Feng’s favorite thing is that Xiaoping snuggled in his arms. The two of them were in a private space without caring about anyone or anything. They taught Xiaoping what happiness was step by step. The other party was like an obedient student, obeying his own words. Every time they learned a new knowledge, Xiaoping’s shy face seemed as intoxicating as wine.
This is probably what every man dreams of.
I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals. I move my beautiful wife by myself, probably just to describe my life like this.
The little life has passed for more than two months, and it is dull and real. It is almost the Spring Festival in 1982, and the couple discussed buying New Year’s goods and preparing for a warm New Year.
Early that morning, Liu Feng was woken up by his uncle Mao Chengcheng downstairs. When he walked to the balcony and looked down, he saw a woman kneeling at the door holding a doll of six or seven years old. The mother and son had already fallen to the ground and were awake.
When Liu Feng saw this situation, he secretly called bad luck and hurriedly walked downstairs in a autumn coat. Although there is no winter in Guangdong Province, it occasionally emits a little cold wind and can reach a few degrees of temperature at night. In this cold day, the mother and son downstairs have been here twice, but they didn't expect to faint downstairs suddenly today. As for the reason, Liu Feng knew very well what was going on.
In the past two months, Liu Feng has become a well-known person in the local area. Everyone affectionately calls him Dr. Liu. In addition to the plaster patch he sells, another reason is that his deeds of treating Mao Ermei have also spread nearby.
After nearly three months of treatment, Mao Ermei's illness has begun to eliminate swelling. She has recovered very well. Under Liu Feng's conditioning, she recovered faster than she thought. Now she has a feeling of recovering from a serious illness. She can occasionally take a walk in the village, which surprised the villagers of Maojia Village.
You should know that the second daughter of the Mao family is quite famous nearby. After all, in order to treat her daughter, the Mao family's parents have sought medical treatment many times over the years. Which hospital has not been to the nearby hospital? As a result, they are getting weaker and weaker as they are treated, and they are bedridden in the end.
The illness was not cured, and the family was almost dragged down. Who of the relatives had never borrowed money?
Mao Ermei's illness has not been cured for so many years, and Liu Feng's arrival has allowed the girl to get out of bed and walk in just three months. This is a witness to the miracle of the villagers in Maojia Village whom she saw with her own eyes.
The common people like to tell some gossip. In addition, the rumors that Liu Feng is a military doctor are becoming more and more outrageous. Some rumors even say that Liu Feng's ancestors were imperial doctors in the palace. It has been eighteen generations since his generation passed down. In the past, they were always treated in the army. Because he had kindness with the boy of the Mao family, he rushed to Maojia Village to treat Mao Ermei.
Many people who come to Maojia Village to buy plasters have heard this rumor. Seeing that it is true, the rumors gradually spread more and more widely, and the more they spread, the more outrageous it became.
Mao Ermei's illness, coupled with the efficacy of Liu Feng's secret plaster patches, made Liu Feng's medical skills gradually spread in several nearby townships. Many villagers with terminal illness at home treated the dead as living horses. There was no way out, and they all came to cry and beg Liu Feng for help in the treatment.
But Liu Feng never thought of making a fortune by relying on medical skills and becoming a miracle doctor in China? Haha!
During this period, Liu Feng rejected five or six waves of people, but the mother and son have been here for the third time, and it is more extreme every time.
Liu Feng was also helpless!
After going downstairs, I briefly checked the woman's body. It was fine. I woke up after a simple treatment. But the child in his arms was in a bad condition, with a flushed face and a hot forehead. This was a fever.
A fever is still a trivial matter. The child's disease is much more troublesome than Mao Ermei. It is also a special disease. It is a terminal illness and often cannot survive adulthood. In Liu Feng's opinion, this kind of family has basically been sentenced to death.
This disease is very troublesome. In the real world, there is no special medicine yet, and the probability of the disease is not high, and it is a rare disease.
At that time, a laboratory of Bai's Group experimented hundreds of times, and finally extracted special medicines from several herbs. They were finally put on the market after clinical trials and made into injections for sale.
Back then, one sold for 100,000 yuan, or US dollars, and it was completely cured. That was an astronomical figure, which cost at least a few million US dollars. Of course, the cost was only tens of thousands of yuan. It was still a soft girl currency. It was a monopoly enterprise. If it was not sold so expensive, what would the world's number one pharmaceutical company rely on to monopolize?
As for the treatment of this special disease, there were more than 20 types of drugs under Bai's Group at that time, and there were hundreds of them in the research and experimental stages. The price of each drug once it was launched is an astronomical figure for ordinary families. The rarer disease is, the more terminal illness it is, the more expensive it is to treat the drugs. This has almost become the unspoken rule of major pharmaceutical companies in the world.
The knowledge base in Liu Feng's mind now has the ability to change the world partially, but he never thought of taking this knowledge out to change the world. He is just a mortal.
Liu Feng woke up the woman, but was still ready to refuse the rescue in a tactful manner, saying that he was powerless.
A woman was as if dead and dead. Her eyes made Liu Feng unable to bear to look at her. He had already seen the determination to die in the eyes of women.
Looking at the woman's desperate eyes, Liu Feng's heart was a little shaken.
This woman also learned about her life experience. She fled here a few years ago and finally married a local bachelor. However, her husband died unexpectedly when she was one year old, leaving behind an orphan and widowed mother. Her husband passed away. She originally left a son, and her parents-in-law were willing to accept her stay.
But unexpectedly, the child suddenly had this special disease. This disease cannot be even tested in China, let alone cure it.
At the beginning, various hospitals found all kinds of diseases, and there were different opinions, but they were similar to Mao Ermei, and the more they treated the worse they were.
At the beginning, her parents-in-law spent a lot of money and energy to treat her grandson, but in the end the doctor's advice was to give up. Faced with such a choice, grandparents finally chose to give up, but as the mother of the child, she still chose to continue to persevere until the moment she fell down.
But what's the use of persistence? She was an orphan and widowed mother, and she was eventually driven out by her parents-in-law. She lived through hardships with her son on her back and survived until now.
I don’t know where I heard that there was a miracle doctor here, who rushed over with his son on his back. As soon as she came, she found that the famous Mao Ermei nearby had recovered from her illness, which made her almost gloomy heart finally ignited a glimmer of hope.
But Liu Feng's repeated rejections made her completely choose to be desperate. The third time, she had already thought about it and knelt downstairs. If Liu Feng didn't save him, she would take the child to jump into the river, and she could only walk this way.
It was precisely because of the death intention in the woman's eyes that Liu Feng felt a little shaken.
Practicing medicine to save people was originally a family precept for Bai Jingqi in the past world, but as his pharmaceutical group gradually grew, he was used to birth, old age, sickness and death, and his heart was actually a little numb.
He had already planned this world, first using plaster paste to make his first pot of gold, then do something casually, become a billionaire, and live happily with He Xiaoping, have children, and live happily for the rest of his life.
However, with the efficacy of his plaster patch and the impact of curing Mao Ermei, he gradually felt as if he was following the old path again. Do you have to follow the old path of Bai Jingqi in this life?
This matter made Liu Feng very confused!
Liu Feng's entanglement made He Xiaoping a little confused. She pulled Liu Feng to the room and looked at him with a pleading look. Obviously, He Xiaoping's kindness was also awakened.
Liu Feng was quite helpless. Could it be that in this world, he would follow the old path of pharmaceutical giants again?
At this moment, he seemed to see the future in his mind. He was busy with the company every day, gradually moving away from his family, family affection began to fade, and finally he entered the life of Bai Jingqi. It was sad to think about it.
Once he chooses that path, he will not be able to turn back at that time, because a force will naturally form behind him to push him forward. Once his company reaches a certain scale and the company has certain ability to change the world, the problems he will face will be endless and will not end until the day he dies.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This is mutual. Money is just an accessory. For any big shot, money is never something that should be considered for them.
But should you save the other party?
Forget it, let it go!
Anyway, I will not follow Bai Jingqi's old path anymore. Isn't it the best arrangement to become a leisurely rich man in this peaceful society and enjoy this great peace?
This child was saved by himself, but it depends on his life.
Liu Feng helped the woman up and made three rules with her, and first explained it to her.
First, you may not be able to cure your child's illness, but you can only try your luck. Whether you are born or died depends purely on his fate.
Second, the child lives here, and she takes care of the child here. Third, she is not allowed to disclose details to anyone else about her treatment of her child. If it cannot be cured, it cannot be told to others about her child's condition.
When the woman heard Liu Feng agreeing to treat her, her eyes seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. She grabbed Liu Feng's legs and refused to let go. The expression on Liu Feng's face gradually became cold, and she finally lowered her head and said.
"Only this time, and the last time, I will not have a second precedent, I hope you understand!"
The woman could only nod her head desperately at this moment. Now she would listen to whatever Liu Feng said.
After Liu Feng finished speaking, he sighed silently in his heart, turned around and said to He Xiaoping.
"Xiaoping, when you encounter such a thing in the future, I hope you can understand me, okay?"
Looking at Liu Feng's helpless expression, He Xiaoping nodded guiltily.
Since he had made a decision, Liu Feng no longer dragged on the slut and asked Mao Chengcheng to find a house for the woman in the village and settle it first. He had to go to the medicinal materials market to buy medicine.
Extracting special medicines from herbs, he definitely cannot purify them now. Just like artemisinin, a Chinese medicine doctor used them to treat malaria thousands of years ago, but the effects are sometimes good and sometimes bad. Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners couldn't understand what was going on, and they almost lost them in the end.
In modern times, after various experiments, it was discovered that the reason why the treatment effect was sometimes good and sometimes bad was because traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes decoction and boiling. The artemisinin in Artemisia annua cannot be decocted for a long time. It must be used to have the best effect. The artemisinin proposed from the raw artemisia annua is the best magic medicine for the real treatment of malaria. This is the change brought about by the advancement of science and technology.
The herbs that Liu Feng is looking for now have similar principles. Three different herbs must be ground into juice, mixed in a certain proportion, and then purified after a special reaction to become special medicines. This is the result of hundreds of experiments in the laboratory. The money spent in each experiment is the basis of the sky-high price of medicines in the future.
Liu Feng didn't know whether the juice made from this earth method could save the other party, so he could only leave it to fate.
This child’s illness cannot be urgent, so he can only take his time. Anyway, he also needs to treat Mao Ermei now, and Liu Feng doesn’t think it’s too troublesome. But he doesn’t want to open this hole, and he will not follow Bai Jingqi’s old path in this world, be busy all his life and become a pharmaceutical giant.
Perhaps because he has experienced more of the world, his view on life and death has long been separated from ordinary people. Instead of losing all his money to treat the poor, it is better to accept the arrangements of fate quietly and let it go.
Although mainstream values are priceless in life, the reality is that the lives of poor people always have a value measurement standard. There is no way, mainstream values themselves are in the hands of the rich.
In the past two months, with the efficacy of the plaster and his reputation as a miraculous doctor, his business finally entered a period of explosion. Now he can sell 300 to 500 plasters every day, covering several districts in Yangcheng.
This is the effect of word-of-mouth transmission, because compared with ordinary plasters on the market, this kind of plaster is a general blow to reduce dimensionality. Once you use it once, you will no longer use cheap plasters. The back pain caused by general fatigue will be effective. This thing can be effective, and some hidden injuries accumulated over the years will also have therapeutic effects.
