Section 639 China's Economic Upgrading (3)

Siemens did not seize this opportunity, and after their new technology was invented, it was sold to Chinese companies, and when Chinese companies began to make a fortune using those based on Siemens technology, improving or directly using it in other matters, Siemens had to work hard to promote their technology in the West.

After Siemens, Western inventors, scientists, engineers, and technicians have learned to register in China as soon as possible after the invention of technology, and then when Chinese companies want to buy their technology patents, unless they can come up with a huge amount of money, they will seek cooperation, invest in technology, or directly become partners to develop in China.

This phenomenon has been numerous, China's vast territory, after the birth of the fertilizer industry, the Chinese rapidly developed their own fertilizer industry. But China's agriculture is divided into different categories, growing more crops than all of Europe combined. And there are also vast colonies and overseas territories, and China's crops range from the cold to the tropics.

So while the Chinese developed their own research, many foreign companies also focused on this market, and the German company Bayer combined with traditional Chinese experience to invent a fertilizer suitable for mulberry trees, which sold well in China and Japan. BASF has partnered with a Chinese chemical company to produce a red dye that meets Chinese consumer habits.

In addition to technology actively entering the Chinese market, talent is pouring into China to find opportunities, and capital from all over the world is also pouring here, because in the Chinese market, it is often easier to find opportunities with ultra-high returns. If a small factory in Europe and the United States suddenly manufactures some kind of explosive product that can be exported to China in large quantities, the banks in their countries dare to lend them a large amount of money, and then let them set up a branch factory in China to produce products directly to the market.

The reason why capital is so active is because it has established ties with China, and factories that can gain a foothold in the Chinese market are high-quality assets, and capital invested in such factories is naturally high-quality capital.

But in fact, China is not short of capital, the gold standard era, control of the world's gold production eighty percent of China, has made China two become the world's currency, Chinese banknotes have been held by the central banks of various countries, traded in the foreign exchange market of various countries, all the goods into the world trade, have begun to be priced according to the Chinese currency.

With the help of the favorable conditions of the international currency, Chinese capital directly invests in the world, and 30% of Russia's capital is Chinese capital, while South Africa, the United States, North Korea, and Japan, all countries with a large number of investment opportunities, Chinese capital occupies a dominant position. Therefore, while capital from all over the world is pouring into China, Chinese capital is also spreading to the world.

Moreover, many industries cannot be born or promoted in foreign countries, and after the Chinese market matures, Chinese capital carries these new things and quickly promotes them to other parts of the world. In the process of maturing electric motors, Siemens contributed the greatest ingenuity, but Chinese companies have used improved and matured electric motors to develop all over the world. Acquired a locomotive factory in the United Kingdom and imported complete sets of electric motors from China to assemble electric locomotives for the British Underground.

However, these industrial products are not the highest value-added products that China has promoted to the world, and the products with the highest added value have always been medicines. Traditional Chinese medicine, which has been accumulated for thousands of years and passed down, is a huge treasure trove. More than 50 years ago, the emperor began to modernize China's traditional industries after he established the Royal Academy of Sciences in cooperation with Napoleon. The biggest benefit is traditional Chinese medicine.

The biggest reason for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in later generations is that they have not established a theoretical system that conforms to scientific logic. But his inability to make the average person understand is always a huge flaw. Moreover, the emperor himself did not believe in the theory of Chinese medicine. But the emperor believed that Chinese medicine was a treasure trove. Many drugs are indeed effective, but in the hands of traditional Chinese medicine, it is very non-standardized, different doctors treat the same disease prescriptions, may be very different, seeing a doctor is like hitting a big luck, hitting the right prescription, any incurable diseases can be cured, bad luck, minor diseases may be dragged into a major disease.

Moreover, many prescriptions that have been circulated for one or two thousand years have been recorded in all dynasties and dynasties to treat patients, but it is difficult to have an effect on people. The emperor financed the long-term study of these strange phenomena. Later, through scientific comparison, some of these mysteries were discovered.

The medicine is still the same as those two thousand years ago, and it is not ineffective to use it on people today, but the amount of medicine is insufficient. When scientists increased the dosage of drugs through rigorous clinical trials, many prescriptions regained their miraculous functions and cured the disease. Scientists have put forward various conjectures about this phenomenon. Some people believe that the ancient weights and measures are different from today's, resulting in the dosage of medicine prescribed in ancient times being lower than the amount of medicine used to treat diseases. However, a large number of archaeological works have since found that the comparison of ancient weights and measures with that of modern times shows that the dosage of ancient prescriptions is still much lower than the optimal dosage obtained by scientific experiments. At this time, scientists discovered the mystery of drug resistance, the original repeated use of a drug on the same disease, will lead to drug resistance, must increase the amount of drug to play the original effect.

Through comparative analysis, although scientists have not yet discovered some secrets that have proved to be effective, a large number of special drugs have been continuously developed, such as Artemisia annua for malaria, rhubarb for constipation, Huoxiang for heat stroke and other commonly used drugs, all of which have been tested and developed standard medication methods, which have been exported to the world in large quantities. Chinese farmers grow and collect medicinal herbs, and pharmaceutical companies process and export finished medicines. After the pharmaceutical companies made profits, large enterprises such as Tong Ren Tang, Pien Tze Huang, Hu Qing Yutang, and Chen Liji also began to invest more efforts to determine more standard uses of traditional medicine. They have identified hundreds of special medicines, ranging from knife wound medicine for external injuries and inflammation to internal medicine for treating inflammation of various viscera, and the export value of drugs exceeds 10 million taels of gold every year.

But it is not only the valuable experience of our ancestors that has contributed to China's pharmaceutical industry over a long period of time, as China has expanded around the world, from the cold to the tropics, and scientific and standardized Chinese medicine has begun to develop in these regions.

The history of human medicine is longer than the history of any civilized country, perhaps before human beings established the civilization form of the state, the shamans in the tribe began to use animal and plant resources to treat various diseases, some experience has been passed down, such as traditional Chinese medicine, and some experience has been slowly abandoned, such as some medicine in ancient Greece and Rome has been lost. Later, the West started to build a new stove and established modern medicine with chemical methods.

Therefore, in addition to China, many other countries, including Europe, will also have a large number of traditional medicines. However, Europe is generally relatively cold, not rich in animal and plant resources, and there are too many turmoil in history, and the medicine that has been passed down is very limited. Chinese pharmaceutical companies have limited gains in Europe. However, in some backward areas, there are very rich harvests.

They found thousands of various animal and plant medicines in the Indian tribes of the Americas, the black clan societies of Africa. For example, cinchona cream, a special medicine for malaria, was actually first used by the American Indians, who used powdered cinchona bark to cure diseases, and Europeans learned these techniques. African companies have established a large number of planting bases in the Congo River basin to produce cinchona on a large scale.

In addition, in tropical areas such as the Amazon rainforest and Africa, the types of pathogens are complex, and there are thousands of diseases, and the treatment experience of local tribes will also be quickly learned by Chinese companies, and then commercialized to make profits. From these primitive tribes that lived in the tropics for thousands of years, a large number of antimicrobial drugs were discovered, and the professional classification of tropical diseases and tropical disease medicine was born.

You can even learn from human unexpected creatures, for example, someone finds that some wild animals will be injured or accidentally eaten a certain poisonous plant, to find some specific plants to eat, obviously these plants have the effect of healing or detoxifying, after testing once it is also effective for humans, it is a kind of medicine.

In short, this method of finding medicine in animals and plants, due to the promotion of Chinese, has been called traditional Chinese medicine.

Of course, the idea of learning medicine from primitive tribes or animals is legendary, and although there is indeed an example, it is only an isolated phenomenon. The core foundation of Chinese medicine is to identify medicines, and to put it bluntly, it is to taste herbs. This kind of thing, the legend has done it in the Shennong clan, and Li Shizhen really did it in reality. Li Shizhen is a native of the Ming Dynasty, and the distance is not far away. Therefore, Li Shizhen set a general direction for the medicinal properties of plants through tasting, and divided the efficacy of plants into cold, cold, yang, heat, etc., although it is not scientific enough, but in high probability, it can set a test direction, which is also a traditional experience.

Then through scientific animal experiments, and finally transition to human trials, and finally discover new drugs. In fact, thousands of drugs discovered by Chinese pharmaceutical companies are identified through this way. Instead of really learning from the black tribes, from the Indians, after all, those tribes who don't even have a written language are very difficult to pass on their knowledge and experience.

In different climatic regions, the discovery of drugs on different animals and plants, and then began large-scale breeding and cultivation, this standardized, scientific method, for the Chinese pharmaceutical industry to grab a huge fortune.

In addition, the world's most advanced technology is integrated in China, and the most advanced complete set of technology solutions is born, which in turn is promoted to the world. Attracting the influx of high-quality capital from all over the world and exporting better capital to the world have put China's economy at the top of the world.

What De Xuanlin has not analyzed is that this phenomenon of a large inflow of technology, talent and even capital from all over the world into China is because China's economy has the strongest competitiveness, and its attraction to talents, technology and capital surpasses that of all countries, standing at the top of the human economic pyramid.

But De Celin found a huge business opportunity! That is to organize a China-oriented R&D model.
