Chapter 18: Professor Tu's Difficulties

"I have always admired Professor Tu, discovered pennyls and published the refining method for free, I don't know how many people have been spared the pain of illness, two students of Professor Tu, if there is anything I can bring up, as long as I can help, I will definitely help. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info," Xia Ming said.

Li Qiang, as the main person in charge of this investigation, saw that Xia Ming's attitude was so sincere, it was not good to twist again, although he was still a student, but in the past two years, he had seen all kinds of characters with Professor Tu, and Xia Ming was the first to be so open and honest.

Moreover, Xia Ming already knows such a thing as penny, which shows that he does know something about Professor Tu, and you must know that as a cheap Chinese patent medicine, although artefacts are effective in the treatment of malaria, there is very little attention to it in China, otherwise Professor Tu would not be in such a difficult situation now.

"Mr. Xia, to tell you the truth, we did come out this time with a mission. Since you have heard of cyanlowin, then you naturally know some of Professor Tu's current situation. Tu Lao is 76 years old this year, but he is still focused on the research and development project of traditional Chinese medicine. In such a difficult environment, Tu Lao and her colleagues spent nearly five years discovering and extracting canitin, and over the years, they have continuously improved the extraction technology, and caniculin has become the most effective drug against malaria in the world. Li Qiang said.

Xia Ming nodded, he knew all these things in his memory, and it was precisely because of the recognition of the effect of penny that Professor Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

"However," Li Qiang continued with a wry smile, "Professor Tu's current situation is not very optimistic. ”

"What do you mean?" Xia Ming wondered.

"Do you know that although Professor Tu is the main research representative of the discovery of cyanpinin, it is not very valued in China. Professor Tu does not have a doctorate, no experience in foreign countries, and no academician title, belongs to the category of three nos, plus Chinese medicine has been weak in recent years, and most people believe in Western medicine, so Professor Tu has even fewer resources for Chinese medicine research! If it were someone else, it might not matter, after all, it would be very good to be able to get a good result in our profession until death, not to mention that Professor Tu's artefacts have been recognized abroad. But Professor Tu is unwilling, she always feels that traditional Chinese medicine should play a greater role in the history of world medicine, and it is with this belief that after the completion of the artefacts project, she has been continuously devoting herself to the research of dihydrocyanin. The more Li Qiang said, the more excited he became, he had been following Professor Tu since he was studying for a master's degree in traditional Chinese medicine, and he knew better than anyone else the difficulties of some projects.

He had also expressed doubts about Professor Tu's R&D project, even if dihydrocyanpin could be successfully refined, wouldn't artein be an example? Is it really worth putting your life into something that seems like a nice-to-have?

But he still didn't leave after all, maybe it was Professor Tu's desperate attitude that completely infected him, or maybe he saw the enthusiasm in Professor Tu when he chose this major.

"The research of the new project needs the corresponding material input as the basis, and the annual research funds of the Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences where we are located must be approved by the above. Professor Tu did not like to compete with others all his life, and the annual funds he received were almost the lowest in the institute, but these funds were not even enough for daily research expenses, and Professor Tu even took money from his own home for research investment. I know best what is going on in Professor Tu's family, she and her husband are crammed into a 60-square-meter unit dormitory, and their lives are not rich. Li Qiang's voice trembled slightly, and when he mentioned Professor Tu's current situation, the eyes of the girls standing behind him began to redden.

"That's why I said we came out with a mission this time. You can be said to be the first entrepreneur to find her old man in these years, originally according to Professor Tu's meaning, she should come to visit in person, but now the extraction of dihydrocyanine has reached a critical stage, and she can only stay in the laboratory to pay attention to it, so she sent the two of us over. To put it bluntly, for the sake of the project, she can't take care of any face, if you have any interest in dihydrocyanin or Professor Tu himself, we hope to get your support! ”

After speaking, Li Qiang took the senior sister behind him and bowed deeply to Xia Ming.

Xia Ming suddenly stood up from the chair like a cat whose tail had been trampled, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice!

How can such a group of people who are willing to dedicate their lives to the cause of science bow to him now!

He once read a report about Professor Tu Youyou and asked her how she planned to distribute the prize money after winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine. I only remember that Professor Tu smiled at the time: "This money is not enough to even buy half of the living room in BJ, and what kind of distribution is there to talk about." ”

At that time, people scolded some entertainment stars on the Internet for earning more than some scientists in a lifetime when they walked the red carpet, but how many people really paid attention to the scientific cause of their motherland?

"Needless to say," Xia Ming hurriedly invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa, and said ashamedly: "I really didn't know that Professor Tu had paid so much for the cause of traditional Chinese medicine, if it wasn't for the two of you telling me today, I might still feel that I was just making a simple investment." You are all respectable people, and I don't know how many times worse than you! ”

Huang Jinhe stood aside and listened to Li Qiang's narration, as an insider, he naturally understood how difficult it was to develop a new drug, but he also did not think that the pioneers who provided theoretical support to these pharmaceutical companies would be so difficult.

Everyone knows that the pharmaceutical industry is a profiteering industry, but how much of those profits are really used where they should be.

"Mr. Xia, I propose to set up a fund on the basis of Jinhai Pharmaceutical, and dedicate 10% of the annual turnover to assist scientific workers like Professor Tu, and I am willing to invest 1 million in the upfront name of a private person. Huang Jinhe said.

Xia Ming agreed with this opinion, he knew that Professor Tu Youyou would definitely become famous in the next few years, and people would pay more attention to the development of the Chinese medicine industry.

He looked at Li Qiang and Wang Jiaxin and said: "You should thank you for your persistence now, the world has seen the glory of the successful people when they succeed and it is easy to forget how they have gone through that journey, you are lucky, because you are feeling all this firsthand!" ”
