"Why not?" Wang Qiang was still polite to his future father-in-law in his heart, and said generously, "Uncle Xiao, you are most familiar with this mountain. Why don't you take us to find the yew together, and find you as a big head. ”

Koshiyama forbears: "Everyone. The fact that yew trees have medicinal effects has been known to our village for the last time we entertained foreign guests. However, the two foreign guests have something to hide from us. The medicinal effect of yew is not only as simple as curing headache and brain fever. may have greater utility. ”

Li Qingjiang pulled his mouth and asked without being salty: "What effect?" Tell me about it? ”

Yue Shan hesitated, and said sincerely: "I don't dare to determine what the effect of the medicine is. But think about it, if it weren't for the great use of the yew, those people would have been guilty of high bounties? ”

Li Qingjiang has not doubted it, but money is more important! He sneered: "I didn't make it clear. Comrade Xiao, you better get out of the way, don't affect our work and make money. ”

For a while, the crowd was surging, and Yunlai Village's own people were also eager to try. Yue Shan was so anxious that his heart was on fire, and the village chief couldn't stop people.

When he was in a hurry, Dr. Zhu's voice rang out.

Xiao Yueshan is right. Yew does have a rarer use. Dr. Zhu pushed away the crowd and strode to Xiao Yueshan's side. He looked at the villagers and said in a deep voice, "Everyone knows me." I know that I am a Shanghai educated youth. I know my family's medical origins. What you don't know is that since the reform and opening up, I have resumed contact with my relatives and classmates abroad. ”

The villagers wondered: So what?

"Recently, I received the latest medical research report from abroad." Dr. Zhu explained, "One of the findings is very eye-catching. Foreign experts, from the bark of the yew tree, extracted a very precious agent: paclitaxel. He looked around at the blankness on everyone's faces and raised his voice abruptly. Paclitaxel, it can treat cancer! ”

"Wow!"

"Oh my God. It can cure cancer! ”

Li Qingjiang was also shocked when he heard the news for the first time. The doubts in my heart were also explained: the price of five yuan a pound of bark turned out to be like this.

Dr. Zhu raised his hand to show that he was quiet: "But the yew tree is very, very precious. Asia has the largest storage capacity in the world. Folks. Think about it. Now, those foreigners have taken away the yew trees that took hundreds or even tens of thousands of years to grow in our mountains at a cheap price of five yuan a catty. When we need it to save our lives, we can only find foreign countries to buy it back at a high price of tens of thousands. Would you like to? ”

Yueshan responded loudly: "I don't want to!" ”

No, who wants to? It's not that you're so poor that you're starving to death, who wants to sell your heirlooms cheaply?

Aunt Liu's husband Yu Dabao muttered: "If there is a day, won't we become the wrongdoers!" ”

The crowd erupted in laughter.

"I don't want to. I don't want to. The poplars in Li Qingjiang's team muttered to themselves.

Li Qingjiang glared at him angrily. Bai Yang's eyes were red: "Captain, I, my father has no stomach cancer." ”

Li Qingjiang's angry face suddenly turned into embarrassment.

Poplar wiped his eyes: "Captain, I'm sorry." I can't go up the mountain with you. With that, he turned around and left.

The rest of the team members had good friends with Bai Yang, whispered, and followed. Then someone said, "We are here to build the motherland, not to destroy the country's precious resources," and followed. After a while, there were only five or six people left in the huge crowd.

Hong Cun said a few words in Dr. Zhu's ear without a trace. Doctor Zhu stared at Li Qingjiang and said earnestly, "Captain Li." I heard that you have already reported to the party organization to join the party, and you are a good and motivated young man. Therefore, you should tell more people the truth behind this matter and its seriousness. Where are we, forget it if you don't know, now that you know, you can't still 'don't feel sorry for the cub to sell Yetian', and finally end up with a big wrong, right? ”

Li Qingjiang's embarrassed face slowly became serious and solemn.

He stepped forward to hold Dr. Zhu's hand and shook it vigorously: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." We've all been deceived. After this battle, I will be more cautious in the future, and I will never make the same impulsive mistake as I do today. ”

Doctor Zhu smiled and withdrew his hand: "Okay, good." It's good that Captain Lee understands. ”

Yue Shan took the lead in applauding and applauding loudly. So the scene burst into earth-shattering applause.

Li Qingjiang glanced at Yue Shan, and the turbid breath in his stomach could not be dissipated, and it was so suffocating that his internal organs were burning like pain.

A storm disappeared invisibly.

Hong Cun was happy in his heart, and pulled Dr. Zhu, who had made great contributions, to invite him to the small canteen of the village committee to eat. I didn't think about it, Dr. Zhu pointed to Yue Shan and said, "This is not my credit." Ling Mei called me over. ”

Hong Cun was stunned: "It's Ling Mei again?" ”

Yue Shan didn't know the details, anyway, it was a good thing, he smiled and said: "Then go to my house today, let's have some wine and have a good chat." ”

Doctor Zhu didn't refuse, he got a big benefit from Ling Mei this time.

He did have contacts with relatives and friends abroad. But the matter of paclitaxel, he is now learning and selling, and he has just learned about it.

A quarter of an hour ago, Ling Mei approached him and asked him to persuade the people who were cutting down the yews. Dr. Zhu listened to her introduction to Yew and was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

He didn't suspect that Ling Mei was lying to him, after all, such a professional word as "paclitaxel" could not be made up by a junior high school student in a mountainous area of Ling Mei.

Ling Mei explained: "This is what Secretary Zhang from the city told us last time. Otherwise, why did those foreign guests build a pharmaceutical factory in the city because of this tree? But the stakes are very high, and Secretary Zhang has to wait for the approval of the upper layers before it can be announced to the public. You are a respected and professional, and what you say is much more convincing. ”

Dr. Zhu did not refuse. What's more, there is Jun Xiao on the side. So I made one of the most important decisions of my life.

This decision made him famous later, and he easily settled in BJ with his wife and children without much toss, and after many years, every time he thought of it, he would like to thank Ling Mei for his divine stroke, and then sigh about his own luck.

After eating and drinking happily at Yueshan's house, when he was about to go out, Hongcun pulled Dr. Zhu and said, "You can go to Wang Guichuan's house to take a look in a while." His family's Xiujuan doesn't seem to be very good. ”

Doctor Zhu twisted his eyebrows: "Hit her again?" ”

"I don't know if I was stunned or starved." Hong Cun sighed, "That girl can't get over it if there's a good girl." Please, the call fee is mine. ”

Dr. Zhu glanced at him: "What money do you want to mention to me?" ”

He settled in Yunlai Village, built a house, got married and had children, and did not lack the help of Hongcun. The relationship between the two is the same as that of brothers.

Hong Cun smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry for you." ”
