209. Endure the blood to eat the temple

At the moment, the two are still ignorant of the public case. (DUKANKAN

Sun Yuanqi was afraid that Zhao Jinghui would not understand, so he continued: "Don't underestimate this little artemisinin, if you obtain a patent for exclusive production, you will make at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year!" I am afraid that once the paper is published, foreign manufacturers will preemptively register patents regardless of shame. ”

The profits of medicine have always been so staggering that there is a proverb: except for those who rob the road, there are those who sell medicines. We can see from the list of the world's top 500 companies, such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Bayer, Roche, Sanofi, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Abbott, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and other companies have been on the list for a long time, and their positions remain high, and they rarely lose money.

The Horse Sect Master once said: "As long as there is a 10% profit, it will be used everywhere; 20%, it will be lively; 50% of the time, it will cause positive risk-taking; 100%, it will make people ignore all laws; 300% will make people not afraid of sin, or even the danger of hanging. "How about 100% of the profit of patented drugs? At that point, the so-called patent law will all be a dead letter. You're going to fight a patent lawsuit with him? Okay, while people are selling drugs on sale, they use the huge profits they earn to hire a huge team of lawyers to fight you to the death, and they will play with you for ten or twenty years, and they will definitely drag you fat and thin to death!

Zhao Jinghui bowed slightly: "I know, it's all up to you." ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "When the patent is registered, it will be in the name of 'Artemisinin Research Scholar of the Department of Pharmacy of Jingshi University'. If possible, the school will set up a pharmaceutical factory to produce artemisinin, on the one hand, to turn knowledge into wealth, and on the other hand, to benefit the people. Nowadays, malaria is still rampant, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, the special drug quinine is imported, the price is very expensive, and the general public cannot afford it.

"But don't worry, if you set up a pharmaceutical company, 15% of the annual profit will be distributed to you researchers in proportion; In addition, 25% of the profits will be allocated to the Department of Drugs as a research fund to encourage the development of new drugs. The 60% profit left behind, in addition to the pharmaceutical factory for expansion and reproduction, is mainly for the school and the school's affiliates, and I personally will never be greedy for a penny. ”

The invention of artemisinin is not only a matter of money, but also of honor. At the beginning of the twentieth century, malaria was still very harmful in the world, and many scientists devoted themselves to it, and the Nobel Prize Committee also attached great importance to this aspect, and two of the first ten years of the Physiology or Medicine Prize were awarded for malaria research:

In 1902, the 2nd Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the American scientist Ross for "discovering the route by which the malaria parasite was introduced into the human body through the Plasmodium mosquito";

In 1907, the 7th Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the French scientist Laviren for his "discovery of the role of the malaria parasite in pathogenesis".

Even a hundred years later, Tu Youyou, a famous Chinese female scientist, won the prestigious Lasker Prize in Clinical Medicine for her discovery of artemisinin, and the call for winning the Nobel Prize is very high. And now? It is estimated that as soon as this achievement is announced, it will be awarded within three or two years.

Those who can look down on money may not be able to look down on reputation, those who can look down on reputation may not be able to look down on money, and those who can look down on money and reputation at the same time are otherworldly sages, but in reality people are inevitably vulgar. Although Zhao Jinghui was his own student, Sun Yuanqi decided to break things down and explain it thoroughly.

Zhao Jinghui listened, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, don't give it to us!" The reason why we were able to discover artemisinin is all thanks to your guidance, we just did some simple experiments, and it is nothing. What's more, our research group is still paid every month? We can't ask for the profits of that pharmaceutical factory. ”

Sun Yuanqi patiently explained: "The dividends given to you are not only to commend your hard work in the process of isolating artemisinin, but also to encourage more young students to devote themselves to scientific research, especially drug research and development, by rewarding you." ”

"Yes"

Sun Yuanqi raised his voice slightly and interrupted her rebuttal: "Okay, that's it! ”

Zhao Jinghui pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Neither of them spoke, and the scene seemed a little solemn for a while. In order to prevent Zhao Jinghui from saying anything embarrassing, Sun Yuanqi hurriedly found a new topic: "I see that your father seems to have a lot of opinions about Jing Fan just now, what is going on?" ”

Zhao Jinghui also frowned when he heard this: "In the past two years, my father and mother have been in Hubei, Jing Xing has gone to Japan, and there are only me and Jing Fan at home. Jing Fan has been very sensible since he was a child, so I didn't pay much attention to him. A few days ago, the whole family finally got together again, and I thought Jing Fan was a little strange, but I didn't know where to start. Yesterday, on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family worshiped the ancestors, but they couldn't find Jing Fan, and he waited a long time before he returned. When burning incense and kowtowing, Jing Fan refused to kneel.

Jing Xing asked him why, only to know that he had followed the Western teachers in the school in the past few years and actually believed in Christianity. It is said that after believing in religion, you cannot worship your ancestors, kowtow, burn paper and burn incense. After hearing this, my father jumped to his feet and scolded, saying that he was disrespectful to his ancestors and a son of man in vain! Jing Xing was also very angry, if I hadn't pulled him, I would definitely beat him up. ”

Jing Fan has been concentrating on his studies for the past few years, and he has not messed with the security guards anymore, and he has met a long man, who is as thin as a hemp stick, which is Jing Xing's opponent? It is estimated that Jing Xing can press him to the ground in three moves and two styles, and he will be cut in two.

"Dad and Jing Xing scolded him, and my mother and I persuaded him on the side, so that he knelt down and kowtowed. You also saw it just now, sir, although he knelt down, he was actually reluctant in his heart. Zhao Jinghui looked sad, "We can persuade him for a while, but we can't persuade him for a lifetime." I'm afraid that the more I force him, the deeper he believes. Sir, Jing Fan has always listened to you the most, why don't you persuade him? ”

This is the disadvantage of hiring teachers in foreign countries, and it will inevitably fall into the mud and sand. Even the carefully selected teachers will inevitably carry some personal goods with them in class. In Hubei, Sun Yuanqi kicked all Japanese teachers back to China, because they opened their mouths and closed their mouths to promote Sino-Japanese cooperation and common prosperity in East Asia. Sun Yuanqi is also on guard again and again at Jingshi University, who knows that this kind of problem still occurs!

As far as personal emotions are concerned, Sun Yuanqi is very reluctant for his students to convert to various Eastern and Western religions, especially the Cross Religion and the Green Religion, which he deeply hates. Although Sun Yuanqi also worshipped the Ma Sect, he was still fundamentally a traditional Chinese, believing that worshipping his parents and ancestors was a matter of course. It is a little difficult to accept to abandon one's parents and ancestors and worship an inexplicable Western deity.

Sun Yuanqi considered himself an enlightened person, but he still found it difficult to accept; That stubbornly conservative like Lao Zhao must be absolutely unacceptable.

But reason gives a diametrically opposite answer: it is better to move the water of a thousand rivers than not to move the hearts of the people. As stated in the constitution of later generations, citizens have freedom of religious belief, and no state organ, social group or individual may compel citizens to believe in religion or not to believe in religion.

Therefore, Sun Yuanqi was also quite hesitant, and after thinking about it again and again, he said: "Then I have time to talk to Jing Fan." ”

Zhao Jinghui was immediately overjoyed: "That's great!" ”

Sun Yuanqi smiled bitterly and said, "Don't have much hope, once you convert to religion, it will be difficult for others to persuade you." ”

At this time, a group of New Year's greetings came outside the door, and Zhao Jinghui got up and left.

In the next few days, in addition to condolences to the teachers and students at the school, and to visit the faculty and staff who still stick to their posts during the Spring Festival, Sun Yuanqi also visited leaders and relatives at all levels, such as the old man, Ding Yunliang, Zhang Zhidong, Rongqing and others. As for Mr. Conger, the US Minister to China, he left his post three years ago. The new envoy was named Rou Keyi, a diplomat and a sinologist who was fluent in Chinese and Tibetan, and had studied the history of China's frontiers. After he arrived in Beijing, he invited Sun Yuanqi several times, and the relationship was not bad, and it was indispensable to go around during the Spring Festival.

There are a lot of people who want to visit Sun Yuanqi, and there are many people who come to visit Sun Yuanqi, and there is almost no entertainment for a period of time after the Spring Festival. But he has been thinking about Zhao Jingfan in his heart, and finally found half an afternoon in the personnel dispute to talk to him.

Zhao Jingfan came to the office as promised, he seemed to know what Mr. Sun wanted to talk to him, he looked a little nervous, and called out "Mr. Sun" timidly when he entered the door.

After a few days of not seeing him, Jing Fan seemed to be thinner, as if he couldn't hold the heavy cotton robe on his body, his face became more and more pale, and he clenched his hands to reveal the traces of his joints. It can be seen that the whole family has really put a lot of pressure on him in the past few days, and the inner entanglement has made him uneasy to sleep.

However, Sun Yuanqi can also understand Lao Zhao's mood.

Traditional Chinese, desperately want to have a son, what is the reason? It is nothing more than raising children to prevent old age and passing on the family lineage. Sooner or later, the daughter belongs to someone else's family, and the son is his own, and when he is old and can't move, someone has to provide for and take care of him, right? Inheritance involves the Chinese's understanding of life.

Before modern times, almost all Chinese believed that the soul still existed after death. At the earliest, it was believed that the soul went to heaven and served behind the emperor of heaven; Later, Huangquan and Hades came out, and their souls went to the ground and became ghosts. Regardless of whether it is in heaven or not, the soul is not produced, and can only accept the sacrifices and offerings of the yang world. Therefore, there are sacrificial festivals in the four seasons of the Yang Dynasty every year, which is to provide food and clothing for the ancestors on a regular basis.

There is a theory that ghosts can only accept offerings from their own descendants. Of course, even if they can accept other people's offerings, who will be idle and have nothing to do to sacrifice other people's ancestors? Therefore, in order to have enough food and clothing after his death, he must let his children and grandchildren prosper and continue from generation to generation. In this sense, raising children to prevent old age and passing on the family line are one and two, two and one, both of which allow the family to avoid the suffering of hunger.

The reason why the family planning policy was implemented relatively smoothly after the reform and opening up is largely due to the fact that before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, various trends of thought and revolutions changed the ordinary people's understanding of the world after death.

Shandong is the origin of the Boxer, and the people hate those who believe in foreign religions, and Lao Zhao is not exempt from vulgarity. Of course, if it was just being coldly spoken of, Lao Zhao would have pinched his nose and recognized it. The key is that after believing in foreign religion, he can no longer kneel down and worship his ancestors, which Lao Zhao Wanwan cannot tolerate! Why do you give birth to a son? Isn't it just so that a hundred years later, children and grandchildren can kowtow to themselves, burn incense, turn some paper money, and provide some water and rice during the New Year's holidays? I can't even do this now, what's the use of having a son!

Sun Yuanqi saw that Zhao Jingfan was quite restrained, so he said, "Let's go outside, shall we?" ”

Jing Fan hurriedly agreed: "Okay, sir." ”

A few days ago, it snowed a little, and the corners of the eaves wall were still a little unmelted, and the cold north wind blew from the gap in the mountains, which made people's spirits shake. Sun Yuanqi led Jing Fan out of the Chengqi Pavilion and walked towards the back mountain. After walking more than a dozen steps, Sun Yuanqi slowed down slightly, walked side by side with Jing Fan, and said straight to the point: "Have you heard that you believe in Christianity? ”

Jing Fan's footsteps froze, and it took a long time for him to let out a low "um".

"And how long have you been involved in Christianity?"

"One year and four months."

"Are you baptized?" Baptism is significant as a clear and unambiguous belief in Christianity and a willingness to break away from the world of faith and join Christ. So Sun Yuanqi asked very solemnly.
