Chapter 105 [Difficulties in Traditional Chinese Medicine]
As the last patient grabbed medicine and left the pharmacy, Fang Zheng and his grandson also had some time to spare.
Everyone came to sit in the side room next door. When the little Loli saw Fang Chengyao coming in, she said sweetly and cutely: "Hello, uncle!"
Seeing the little Lolita, Fang Chengyao showed a simple smile and said: "Xiao Yanyan is really becoming more and more agile. Third brother is lucky."
Fang Zheng felt a little embarrassed and helpless after hearing this. The old man seemed to be saying this to him. He was almost twenty-six years old and had not yet gotten married, let alone children. Moreover, Fang Chengyao was a single generation of two generations, with only one.
Son, and then only one grandson like Fang Zheng.
It is actually not difficult for Fang Chengyao to make money, but when he opened a drug store, his family was still very poor. People who didn't know better would not believe it at all. After all, his drug store's "business" was booming, and there was an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment.
In fact, he was really poor, which made it very difficult for Fang Zheng to find a wife. Fang Chengyao was actually very entangled in his heart, on the one hand, the inheritance of the family lineage, and on the other hand, the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine.
But he does not want his ancestors’ inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine to be lost in his hands. His grandson Fangzheng started studying traditional 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 set up a traditional Chinese medicine company to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine, continue the inheritance of our ancestors, and benefit the world." Fang Hong looked at his fourth uncle and said.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Fang Chengde also looked at Fang Hong in surprise. Seeing his sincere look, he sighed and shook his head and said: "It's hard, it's hard to reach the sky. It's almost impossible for real Chinese medicine."
Revitalize.”
Hearing his assertion, Fang Hong couldn't help but said: "Why did my uncle say this?"
Fang Zheng took the lead and said at this time: "I hope that people in the world are not sick, so why not put up medicine to make money? Real Chinese medicine is not a money-making profession at all. In today's world, only by making big money can we attract talents from all walks of life, and
Traditional Chinese medicine is a profession that saves money. Scammers under the name of traditional Chinese medicine say otherwise, but real traditional Chinese medicine is a profession that helps everyone save money and avoid getting sick by spending less money. Naturally, it is not favored by others."
At this point, he added with a helpless smile: "People outside think that our family has made a lot of money by opening this pharmacy, but in fact, we can't even afford to renovate our house."
Fang Hong couldn't help but admire the persistence of the grandfather and grandson. There really weren't many people like this. As long as they moved the bottom line a little lower, they wouldn't be able to find the money to renovate their family's house.
Fang Zheng continued: "A few months ago, there was a wave of people who wanted to buy out our prescriptions. Cousin, do you know what they thought? They wanted to buy out the prescriptions and hide them, and they also promised to give me a large sum of money.
Abandoning medicine, he even said shamelessly, "The medicine is a good medicine and the prescription is also a good prescription, but it is not a good product. The kind of medicine that is good when you take it but not good when you take it is a good product." At that time, my grandfather was very angry.
…”
After saying that, Fang Zheng also 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 revitalization, but more importantly the difficulty of inheritance."
Hearing this, Fang Hong nodded and said: "It is true that training a doctor is difficult, and training a traditional Chinese medicine doctor is even more difficult."
Fang Zheng immediately said: "The ancestors left 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."
Fang Chengyao also often emphasized to Fang Zheng that in the future, to accept a disciple, he must observe him for many years, and he must truly understand his virtues, good and evil, before he can decide whether to accept a disciple or not.
Treating diseases with medicine can save lives, but the same medicine can also kill people.
Fang Chengyao's words were concise and concise: "If you have virtue but no talent, your virtues can be used; if you have talent but no virtue, your talents are difficult to use."
It is worth mentioning that the ancestors mentioned by Fang Zheng do not refer to the ancestors of the Fang family, but to those ancient medical sages.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there are "Ten Great Medicine Ancestors", which are generally considered to be these ten people: Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine", Bian Que, the "Pulse Study", Hua Tuo, the "Originator of Surgery", Zhang Zhongjing, the "Medical Sage",
Huang Pumi, the originator of acupuncture, Ge Hong, the "Emperor of Medicine", Qian Yi, the "Sage of Pediatrics", Zhu Zhenheng, the "Mr. Danxi", Li Shizhen, the "Sage of Medicine", and Ye Tianshi, the "febrile disease expert".
Obviously, the threshold of traditional Chinese medicine is high, which is reflected in the aspect of morality.
As Fang Chengyao said: If there is virtue but no talent, the virtue can be used; if there is talent but no virtue, the talent is difficult to use.
It can be seen that a truly qualified Chinese medicine practitioner with superb medical skills needs to have both political integrity and talent. Such people are actually rare in the current "money-oriented" environment, which restricts the inheritance of Chinese medicine and truly
Those who are able to achieve success in their studies usually have been with their masters since they were young, and it often takes ten or twenty years before they can come to see a doctor.
The true emphasis of traditional Chinese medicine is to save the world and save the people, not to make money or to let patients spend as little money as possible.
Seeing a Chinese doctor to check your pulse and taking some medicine may solve the problem for tens of dollars.
But in Western medicine, if you go to one department and do a test, you will spend hundreds, thousands or even thousands of dollars, but you don’t know what the disease is. Then you go to the next department and spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars and still don’t know what the disease is.
But a person who trains a traditional Chinese medicine doctor has to study hard for ten or twenty years before he can practice medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine here is too difficult and earns little money, but Western medicine over there can make money faster.
Traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to learn and does not make money. In an environment where everything is "money-oriented", naturally no parents are willing to let their children enter this field. How can it be passed down without anyone talking about it?
Mr. and Mrs. Fang Chengyao abide by the rules of their ancestors, not only to have superb medical skills but also to have a benevolent heart. 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's very difficult, but someone has to do it. Now foreigners are crazy about using the inheritance of our ancestors to register patents. Do you think that if you keep the prescription, you can avoid being sold by foreigners?
People steal, but foreigners are very clever in their methods."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fang Hongjin added: "They may not continue to ask for prescriptions, but choose to rush to register various herbal patents. Even if we have prescriptions and keep the prescriptions, we can cure diseases and save lives."
When we use medicine, herbal medicine will be their patent monopoly. We will have to pay expensive medicines to foreigners, otherwise we won’t be able to use them, and we will be doomed in the end.”
When my uncle heard this, he couldn't sit still on the spot. There was a look of sullenness on his face, but after a while, he sighed helplessly, looking quite helpless.
Fang Zheng looked at Fang Hong and said, "Cousin, if you want to do it, what are you going to do?"
In the short period of time, Fang Hong had already initially thought of a solution, and immediately said: "My plan is to set up a family business. On the one hand, I must quickly register the inherited patents of my ancestors, and on the other hand, we must build our village
It will become a place where traditional Chinese medicine is passed down, but this requires the help of my uncle and the support of my old man."
Hearing this, Fourth Uncle Fang Chengyao couldn't help but look 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 have made a lot of money by setting up a technology company outside, so my idea is to let the children in the village learn Chinese medicine from an early age.
Seize it, and let your uncle personally take charge of it and look for the young ones, and your uncle will make the decision."
Immediately afterwards, Fang Hong said: "Anyone in the village who is willing to send his or her child to study Chinese medicine, I will build him a new house on the homestead. When the child grows up, he will work in our family business. Those who have learned nothing can't sit in the clinic."
We will also provide him with guarantees. For example, we will turn a large area like a mountainous area in the village into a medicine garden to grow medicinal herbs and so on. If you can't sit in a doctor's office, you can always grow medicinal materials, right?"
It is worth mentioning that when outsiders go to the countryside to contract planting business, they will usually be in trouble, because the locals will "bully students". If you plant an orchard and the old people in the village pick your fruits, there is nothing you can do to them.
It's too radical. The old man lies down on the spot, and you become numb immediately.
But Fang Hong was born and raised in the village, and his family also had an old man named Fang Chengde who was like a treasure. He was a truly highly respected and prestigious person. No one in the village dared to offend the old man.
These rare conditions are met, so Fang Hong now has a strong vision to slowly build this large village of more than 4,000 people in his hometown into a very distinctive village in the future.
The place where the world-famous traditional Chinese medicine family inherits.
If he wants to do this, Fang Hong knows very well that he has to invest money at all costs and spend huge time costs. After all, he has to start from the baby.
The first thing is to ensure that children in the village who are willing to learn Chinese medicine do not have to worry about their future prospects, so that their parents will not have worries and are willing to let their children study medicine.
This requires spending money!
But the good news is that in Fang Hong, as long as problems can be solved with money, they are generally not big problems.
After hearing Fang Hong's description, his uncle Fang Chengyao was surprised and said bluntly: "San'er, then you will die. It won't last long. This is not reliable."
As he spoke, my uncle shook his head repeatedly, obviously not optimistic at all.
Fang Hong said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm definitely not hot-headed, 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 more. I don't believe it.
Let the sky come out!"
The second brother Fang Ping and the cousin Fang Zheng both stared at Fang Hong with wide eyes. Even Fang Chengyao was speechless for a moment, but then he felt that what this kid said was even more unreliable, and he immediately said: "
San'er, don't make fun of your uncle."
If you say millions or millions, your uncle might believe it.
Good guy, you always talk about one hundred million or one billion, but it doesn’t sound right no matter what you hear.
Fang Hong also said helplessly: "Uncle, I am really rich. You don't believe it, do you? Oh, by the way, in addition to visiting you in the county this time, I also went to the bank to withdraw money. I want to withdraw 3 million.
Cash, don’t you believe I’ll get the money back later and show it to you?”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Zheng looked shocked and said: "Is it true or false?"
After saying that, he looked at Fang Ping with a look of verification on his face, and the latter nodded and said: "It's true, we have already made an appointment. We will have to go to the bank to withdraw money in a while."
Fang Hong said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't have to rush to express your position. Think about it carefully before giving me an answer. In my heart, I hope that the inheritance of my ancestors can be continued and carried forward, and at the same time, I can lead our Fang family and the entire village.
Let us become rich and well-off..."
At this point, Fang Hong was ready to use his skills. He went directly to his uncle and whispered: "Uncle, you also have to think about your cousin's situation. He is already twenty-six years old. He is your grandson, and he still behaves like this."
The root is only a sprout, we can’t delay it any longer…”
These words could be said to have hit the fourth uncle's heart and pain points that he didn't want to mention. Fang Chengyao stared at Fang Hong, but said nothing.
Fang Hong smiled again and said: "Uncle, don't worry, this approach will definitely work. Once the patent is registered, our family business will not make money from the Chinese people. The money sold to the Chinese people will only be enough to recoup the capital and maintain operations."
, if you only make money from foreigners, the price you sell to foreigners must be set at a high price, so it can be sustained for a long time."
At the end, Fang Chengyao said immediately: "There is no need to look back and think about it. You are a smart little guy who knows that your uncle will agree to it."
Fang Hong smiled knowingly. The whisper he had just spoken to him played a very crucial role. He put away his thoughts and nodded: "Then could you please nominate the name for our family business?"
Hearing this, Fang Chengyao thought about it for a while and then said: "How about calling it 'Fang's Medicine Hall'?"
Fang Hong nodded immediately and said: "Just follow my uncle's advice."
It doesn't matter what your name is, what's important is that your uncle nominates you and picks up the title.
This matter is easy to say, but 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 that a series of questions will follow.
