Zhang Ping's hands are very soft, fleshy, smooth and delicate, at first glance, it is a wangfu appearance, Pang Xiaonan held it for a while, and then reluctantly let go, but Zhang Ping was already full of red on her face, and it was the first time she was held by a boy.

Coming out of the rental house, Pang Xiaonan received a call from Dr. Qiu, who looked very tired on the phone, but was slightly excited: "Xiaonan, where are you?"

"I'm near the Dongli Military Academy. Pang Xiaonan looked at the time, it was 10:20 in the morning.

"Can you come to the hospital?" Dr. Qiu spoke quickly, probably because he had been giving frequent interviews lately, and he had developed his ability to respond quickly.

"Are you back?" Pang Xiaonan was a little surprised, at this time, as the leader of the expert team on the Weilin virus epidemic, shouldn't Dr. Qiu still be in Wenhe City?

"I'm back, but I'm leaving soon, and this time I'm back mainly to implement your Wellin virus drug development. Dr. Qiu had actually just arrived at the hospital, but as soon as he entered the office, he called Pang Xiaonan before he could sit down.

"Okay, I'll come right over. Pang Xiaonan hung up the phone and drove to the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy.

Pushing open the door of Dr. Qiu's office, Anna was sitting in front of the computer and concentrating on the information, when she saw Pang Xiaonan coming in, she stood up with a smile, made a gesture of invitation to the door of the inner room, and said, "Dr. Pang, the dean is waiting for you inside." ”

Anna is wearing a very sexy today, a white semi-sheer shirt that can be faintly seen in the lace underwear, a short black skirt, and a pair of black stockings, which outline her plump long legs with charming curves.

However, Pang Xiaonan ignored all this, smiled and waved to Anna, and then pushed open the door of the inner room.

Dr. Qiu was sitting in his desk, his right hand supporting his head, his eyes slightly squinted, he was napping.

"Dr. Qiu, I'm here. Pang Xiaonan sat down on the chair in front of Dr. Qiu's desk and woke Dr. Qiu up unceremoniously.

"Oh, it's Xiao Nan, you're here. Dr. Khoo woke up from his slumber and sat up straight.

Pang Xiaonan looked at the sleepy-eyed Dr. Qiu and asked with concern, "What's the matter?

"Yes, there are too many things," Dr. Qiu rubbed his eyes, "but the epidemic in Wenhe City is basically under control, so I have time to fly back." ”

"It's under control so quickly?" Pang Xiaonan was a little surprised, "How did you control it, has Wenhe City been released from quarantine now?"

"It's thanks to your prescription," Dr. Qiu smiled at Pang Xiaonan with a gratifying smile, "If it weren't for your prescription to cure this unknown disease, how could the epidemic have been brought under control so quickly." However, Wenhe City is still in a state of lockdown, and until the epidemic is completely controlled, the quarantine will not be lifted for the time being. ”

"You've already tested my prescription on a large scale, right?" Pang Xiaonan is most concerned about the results of clinical application.

Dr. Qiu nodded, showing a relieved expression, "A large-scale clinical trial has been done in Wenhe City, and the results are very good, so I decided to start the production of the prescription immediately." ”

"Great, in that case, the treatment of this Velin virus gastroenteritis is as simple as curing a cold. Pang Xiaonan slapped his palm on the table, and the water cup on the table made a tinkling sound.

Dr. Qiu pulled out a piece of paper from the briefcase on the table, handed it to Pang Xiaonan, and said, "I applied for a patent for your prescription, an invention patent, and you are the patentee." ”

Pang Xiaonan took it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a patent certificate, and he looked at Dr. Qiu suspiciously, and said, "Is this patent application so fast? ”

"I applied for you before I left. Dr. Qiu picked up the water cup, opened the lid and took a sip of water, "This is a special case, you said that this prescription does not need to be kept secret, then you must apply for a patent, the patent is applied, the prescription will be disclosed, but if others want to use this prescription to produce, they need to pay you a royalty." ”

At this time, someone was knocking on the door, and then Anna walked in with a cup of tea, put it in front of Pang Xiaonan, and said softly: "Doctor Pang, please use tea." ”

Then Anna turned and left, leaving Pang Xiaonan with a swaying and colorful reverie back.

"Dr. Qiu, aren't you tempted by Anna's showmanship every day?" Pang Xiaonan was very suspicious that Dr. Qiu had some ulterior stories with Anna in his office.

"Hey, you're thinking too much, what age am I, where am I still interested in this kind of thing?" Dr. Qiu waved his hand and pointed to the door, "Anna, I hired her because her image and temperament are suitable for representing me on some occasions, besides, I have an eye-catching assistant in the office, can I also reduce stress?"

"You don't have to explain it to me, I understand. Pang Xiaonan squeezed his eyebrows, not believing Dr. Qiu's words at all.

"Believe it or not, let's get down to business," Dr. Qiu stood up and moved his waist, turned his head to Pang Xiaonan and said, "Now this prescription, there are several production plans, one is to make capsules, the other is to make granules, and you can also make honey pills, oral liquids, etc., which way do you think is better?"

"What's the difference? I mean production and application. Pang Xiaonan felt that if you want to talk about the effect, it must be the best oral liquid.

Dr. Khoo sat down in a chair and said, "For oral tablets and capsules to work, they generally need to go through the process of collapse and release in the human body. Ordinary oral drugs disintegrate and dissolve in the human body in two parts, one is the stomach and the other is the small intestine. When developing a drug, the choice of where to release the drug depends on the nature of the drug. Some drugs are not suitable for disintegration and release in the gastric acid environment, or the irritation of the gastric mucosa is greater, and it is more suitable for release in the weakly alkaline intestinal environment from the preservation of the active ingredients of the drug and the exertion of the efficacy. Eventually, the drug needs to be absorbed into the bloodstream and brought to the area where it needs to work, whether in the stomach or intestines. ”

Dr. Qiu took a sip of water from the cup, "Compared with tablets and capsules, oral liquid does not need to disintegrate and dissolve in the human body, and it is absorbed faster. Different dosage forms are designed to meet the needs of patients of different ages, different pathophysiological states and different needs, and for patients with swallowing impairment and emergency patients, injection injection is a fast-acting and convenient dosage form. For pediatric patients, from baby-friendly drops, to toddler-friendly oral solutions, to chewable tablets to cater to children's tastes, the affordability and medication compliance of people at different physiological stages are taken into account. In terms of portability, oral solutions are still slightly inferior to tablets and capsules. ”

Dr. Qiu scratched his face, and a white hair fell on his face, which made him itch a little, "Not all drugs are suitable for making multiple dosage forms, and some drugs are not suitable for long-term stable storage in a liquid environment, which limits it to be made into liquid dosage forms such as solutions and injections. Some drugs that are easily oxidized, deteriorated and deliquescent in the air can be made into tablets by coating technology, which is more conducive to maintaining the efficacy for a long time. Most of the drugs made into suspensions are insoluble in water or insoluble in water, and it is difficult to make uniform liquid preparations, so it is necessary to disperse them in a suitable dispersion medium by reducing the size of drug particles and adding surfactants to make liquid preparations. ”

Dr. Qiu moved his head and continued: "In addition, the physical and chemical properties of some drugs are more suitable for making soft capsules, and the attached capsules can isolate the functional materials sensitive to light and oxygen of the drugs from air and light, avoid the oxidation of effective substances, and keep the content of the product stable during the expiration date to ensure the exertion of efficacy. The processing and manufacturing technology of drugs of the same dosage form are all different, and some will be very different. Due to different processes, the manufacturing cost of products will vary, which is also one of the important factors affecting drug pricing. ”

Dr. Qiu took another sip of water from the water cup, "The dosage form factor can determine or affect the stability, clinical effectiveness and safety of the drug, and can reduce the dose and improve patient compliance, which is also the reason why drug manufacturers continue to innovate in dosage forms." There are many cases of improving the convenience of drug users through dosage form changes, such as the dosage of Qinglung Anti-inflammatory Pill was changed from Xiaomi Pill to Water Pill, the dosage was reduced from 8 grams to 5 grams, and the honey content was also greatly reduced, which reduced the burden of medication for diabetic patients; after Huoxiang Zhengqi Water was changed to soft capsules, the alcohol in Huoxiang Zhengqi Water was removed and the taste was improved; and the irritation of the gastric mucosa was reduced after aspirin was made into enteric-coated tablets. ”

"Dr. Qiu, are you also a university professor, I see that you talk endlessly and admire as soon as you talk about your profession. Pang Xiaonan gave Dr. Qiu a hand.

"It's true that I have been an external professor at several schools," Dr. Qiu was not modest, "but I rarely go out to class, and the hospital's business is too busy, so I hope you can help me share some of it when you come over, so that I can have the opportunity to go out and attend more classes in the future." ”

"Don't," Pang Xiaonan waved his hand, "I still expect you to assign me fewer tasks, I don't want to be as busy as you." ”

"You, what age are you, what age am I," Dr. Qiu pointed at Pang Xiaonan and said, "If you are not busy now, you will have no capital to be idle in the future." ”

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "Doctor Qiu, I don't dare to agree with this, look at you, I don't believe that you weren't busy when you were young, and now you can be regarded as famous, right?"

Doctor Qiu stared at Pang Xiaonan's eyes for a long time before he spoke: "What you said is right, this is indeed the case, hey, people have reached a certain stage, they can't help themselves, and they still have to think about it, I still have to learn from you, and think less about things in the future." ”

"This is not good," Pang Xiaonan said with a smile, "In his position, who calls you the dean, the capable work hard, okay, you should be very tired, I won't bother you, for the specific details of the prescription production, you have an idea, I have no special requirements here, the oral liquid must be the best, but it involves the cost of the production process and pricing or something, you are an expert, you have the final say, I suggest to do a few more categories, so that consumers have a wealth of choices." ”

Dr. Qiu nodded and said, "That's what I think about too, okay, then I'll make my own decision." ”

Coming out of the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy, Pang Xiaonan drove to the old city, because the iron ball made by Zhao Sijiajia had been completed, and the old blacksmith of the blacksmith shop informed Pang Xiaonan to get it.

Driving the shepherds around the old city, Pang Xiaonan found the dilapidated blacksmith shop with his memory.

Before I entered the door, I heard the sound of clanging, and the old man was still tirelessly striking the iron.

When Pang Xiaonan entered the door, he saw the red fire, the old man was beating hard against a piece of iron on the fire, his naked upper body was clear, and he was flowing with sweat like a stream.

Pang Xiaonan entered from the door, blocking the sunlight that came into the blacksmith shop from the outside, making the scene inside the shop slightly darker for a moment, the old man noticed this subtle change, raised his eyes to look at the door, and saw that it was Pang Xiaonan, immediately stopped the movement in his hand, picked up a towel next to him, wiped his sweat, and walked towards Pang Xiaonan.

Pang Xiaonan greeted warmly: "Old man, I'm here to trouble you again." ”

The old blacksmith casually pointed to a stool and said, "What's not troublesome, it's my job, come, sit." ”

After saying that, he took a stool and sat down, and felt a little thirsty, so he stood up and went to get a large enamel jar, and drank a big sip of tea with a grunt, and breathed a sigh of comfort.

Having laid down the enamel jar, the old blacksmith went to the corner, removed the hookah hanging from the wall, and sat back on the stool.

Pang Xiaonan pointed to the hookah and asked the old blacksmith: "Old man, I'm afraid your hookah is an antique, right?"

The old blacksmith shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not an antique, it's only a few decades old, but I built it myself, and I used good materials, if it is passed on, it will be an antique in the future." ”

"Yes, it must be an heirloom!" Pang Xiaonan scratched his forehead, the temperature of this blacksmith shop was even higher than outside, his forehead was a little sweaty, a little itchy, "Is my iron ball ready?"

"It's done," the old blacksmith picked up the hookah and pointed the cigarette holder at the corner of the blacksmith's shop, "Ah, where is it, but I'm a little curious, why is your iron ball getting smaller and smaller? ”

The old blacksmith is also a practitioner, and he knows the principle of step-by-step.

"You misunderstood, old man," Pang Xiaonan explained, "This is not for me, a friend of mine, when she saw me practicing with a big iron ball, she was also very interested, but she didn't have as much strength as me, so she couldn't use my big iron ball, so I could only help her build another one." ”

"I see. The old blacksmith took a pinch of tobacco from his cigarette pouch, put it on the end of the hookah, lit a stick of incense with a kerosene lighter, and then lit the tobacco with the incense, and then smoked it.

"Old man, have you heard about the Weilin virus?" Pang Xiaonan was very concerned about the impact of the epidemic on the lives of ordinary people, but in his opinion, the old man in front of him seemed to have no idea about such a thing.

The old blacksmith nodded, took off the copper cigarette butt and knocked the ash on the ground, "I heard, such a big thing, everyone is discussing, how could I not know?"

"But it seems that you don't care at all, I heard that the Weilin virus is very powerful, aren't you afraid of infection?" Pang Xiaonan noticed that the old blacksmith did not take any protective measures, and there was not a single breathing shield in the blacksmith shop.

"Hehe, what am I afraid of?" the old blacksmith reloaded a pinch of tobacco, "what should come will always come, this is called life and death, if the virus takes me in, it is my fate." ”

Pang Xiaonan admired the weathered old man in front of him, gave a thumbs up and said, "I can't imagine that the old man is so open-minded, I should really learn more from you." ”

"You don't have to learn from me," waved the old blacksmith's withered but sturdy hand holding the hookah, "and when you reach my age, you'll be as open-minded as I am." ”

Out of the blacksmith shop, Pang Xiaonan walked towards his shepherd with the small iron ball in his arms.

Compared with the big iron ball, this small iron ball is a punch smaller, and the weight is less than a hundred catties, which is quite delicate in Pang Xiaonan's arms, and Pang Xiaonan is also very easy to move, but this weight may be a little difficult for Zhao Sijiajia.

Although the epidemic situation is becoming clearer, with the launch of Dongli Pharmaceutical Group's new drug against the Weilin virus, the Weilin virus gastroenteritis is no longer a disease that makes people talk about it, as Pang Xiaonan and Dr. Qiu had hoped for, the disease caused by this unknown virus has now been reduced to a common illness like a cold.

A disease, as long as there is a symptomatic treatment of the drug, then it is no longer so terrible.

The previous arguments that worried that Chinese medicine could not cure viral diseases became weaker and weaker, and the female reporter who questioned Dr. Qiu at the first press conference of the Weilin virus epidemic expert group also ushered in the low point of her career, people laughed at her for not being able to do anything, daring to question experts, questioning thousands of years of Chinese medicine, and her questioning videos were changed into various versions, some are ghostly, some are funny, in short, everyone scoffs at her.

According to Pang Xiaonan's opinions and his own experience in drug research and development, Dr. Qiu made Pang Xiaonan's prescription into three forms, one is a granule, one is an oral liquid, and the other is a small pill, which is convenient for consumers to choose, and he named this cross-century drug "Xiaonan Powder", "Xiaonan Liquid" and "Xiaonan Pill".

No one knows why Dr. Qiu named a drug like this, because most Chinese medicines are named according to the ingredients in them, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water contains Huoxiang, Liuwei Dihuang Pill contains Rehmannia Pill, and Chuanbei Loquat Paste contains Chuanbei, but does Xiaonan Pill contain Xiaonan?

It is rumored in the world that the naming rule of this Xiaonan Pill is because the doctor who invented this drug is called Xiaonan, but as for the strangeness in it, it is not known to outsiders.

Although the epidemic has been controlled, the Chinese government still does not dare to be careless, and has always strictly guarded against the epidemic, because even if the disease can be cured, if it is a large-scale epidemic, it will still cause great damage to the people and the economy.

At this moment, the situation abroad has been chaotic, because the Weilin virus has been attacked in major cities abroad, because of the lack of effective drug treatment, corpses have been piled up on the streets, morgues, crematoriums, it can be said that corpses are everywhere, and the people are panicked and complain about the government's inaction.

The governments of various countries pointed the finger at the Chinese government, saying that the Chinese government deliberately spread the virus, and after spreading the virus, it banned the export of drugs, causing casualties in other countries.

Under diplomatic pressure, Dr. Qiu consulted with the top government on behalf of Dongli Pharmaceutical, and after the video conference, he called Pang Xiaonan.

"What's the matter, Dr. Qiu, you called me over in a hurry, what's the matter?" Pang Xiaonan pushed open Dr. Qiu's office, and saw Dr. Qiu with a haggard face, saying that since the outbreak of the epidemic, Pang Xiaonan has not seen Dr. Qiu have a good face.

"That's right, Xiao Nan," Dr. Qiu stood up and gestured for Pang Xiao Nan to sit down, "The above requires us to release the production authorization of Xiao Nan Pills, so that all pharmaceutical factories in China can produce Xiao Nan Pills." What do you think?"

Pang Xiaonan smiled and said: "You look at it, I think at the beginning, you named this medicine Xiaonan Pill, did you ask for my consent? Now that you are burning your ass, you want to find me again." ”

Pang Xiaonan has always been suspicious of the naming of Dr. Qiu's drug, how can he do this? He has not asked for his opinion, knowing that he Pang Xiaonan does not want to be famous, and just wants to make a fortune.

"Oh, Xiao Nan," Dr. Qiu said with a wry smile, "don't be angry with me, we are a community of destiny, besides, now the entire Hallelujah Star is regarded as our savior, so we should take a long-term view." ”

"Well, you're right," Pang Xiaonan nodded, "If this Welling virus spreads abroad, it will not have a good outcome for us and the entire Hallelujah Star, they are all people living on the same planet, and no one can avoid anyone." ”

"Isn't it, so above," Dr. Qiu raised his right index finger and pointed upwards to the sky, "asking us to abandon our immediate interests, consider the national interest and long-term interests, and release the production authorization of Xiaonan Pill, so that all Chinese pharmaceutical factories can produce, expand production for export, and assist those countries that have been dire by the Welin virus." ”

"This is the right thing to do," Pang Xiaonan shook his neck and moved his shoulders and neck, "In the case of global integration, no one can be left alone, and the production authorization can be released, but do we want to fight for a right?"

"What right?" Doctor Qiu looked at Pang Xiaonan with blazing eyes, he knew that Pang Xiaonan must have a perfect plan.

"Export agency. Pang Xiaonan is not very clear about doing business, but there is one thing he knows, that is, to grasp the channels.

"What's the use of exporting agency rights?" Dr. Qiu is not very clear about the operation of the pharmaceutical channel, he only understands technology.

"If you control exports, you control the profits of foreign trade. Pang Xiaonan actually didn't know much about it, so he could only roughly explain to Dr. Qiu, "For example, I can choose a foreign trader, and whoever pays the highest price can buy our medicine." ”

"Isn't that a country that is difficult to make money?" Dr. Qiu did not turn a corner.

Pang Xiaonan waved his hand and said: "How is it difficult to make a fortune, it is also a businessman from other countries to make a fortune in their country, you think, even if we don't choose traders, it is impossible for every foreign trading company to sell goods in a proper manner, rather than them raise prices for each other, it is better for us to control the channels and control the profits of foreign traders." ”

Dr. Qiu frowned and pondered for a long time before he realized the stakes, "You mean, we designate foreign traders and limit the price at which they sell their goods domestically?"

Pang Xiaonan snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, so that foreign people can also enjoy cheap medicines." Ensuring that our medicines are accessible to ordinary people, not for the wealthy. ”

"What if a foreign trader imports our drugs and sells them at a high price?" Dr. Qiu, a strict medical worker, has a bad impression of the drug dealer, "You must know that when we leave China, our control is weak, and even if others violate our regulations, we will not be able to hold them accountable." ”

"This is easy to do, as long as we find that there is a trader who does not act according to the contract, we will cancel his qualification to buy goods," Pang Xiaonan has a great grasp of this matter, "Besides, the traders we choose must have a high reputation, they dare not do anything that violates the contract, otherwise once they find out that there is price gouging in the future, their reputation will be damaged, and they will not be able to mix in their own country, they will not use their reputation to do such a risky thing, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Dr. Qiu nodded and said, "Well, your method is good, just do it, this is conducive to standardizing the price of the drug market, which is equivalent to us announcing the market guidance price to the world, so that patients can consume clearly." ”

"Yes," Pang Xiaonan picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, "In the meantime, I think we have one more thing to do." ”

"What's the matter?" Dr. Qiu also picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

"I think that while we make reasonable profits, we must not forget our social responsibility," Pang Xiaonan said, pointing to a cloud outside the window, "just like the water vapor transpiration forms clouds, the clouds rain to nourish all things, and the respiration of all things produces water vapor, so we should form a virtuous circle of corporate behavior, so I suggest that we donate a batch of medicines to the less wealthy areas, so that those people in dire straits can also enjoy timely treatment." ”

Dr. Qiu slammed his fist on the desk and said with a smile: "I wanted to mention this matter to you from the beginning, but I was afraid that you would not agree, after all, there is a part of your profit in it." Although we are a business, sometimes we still have to do something to decorate the façade, of course, this is not only to do superficial work, but also to accumulate some reputation for ourselves. ”

"What are you talking about, am I such a stingy person?" Pang Xiaonan said immodestly, "My vision is very long-term, and the sea is tolerant of all rivers." ”

"Okay, since we are on the same page," Dr. Qiu's eyes gleamed with excitement, "then I will start to implement the matter of charitable donations, of course, and at the same time, I will also apply to the higher authorities to control the export channels." ”

"Well, you go ahead and do it, I trust you. Pang Xiaonan picked up the teacup and drank tea, his eyes glanced out the window, he didn't know what to think in his head, and he wandered into the sky.
