Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 1043 Zhao Hongbo's Handling of Affairs

Obviously, Zhao Hongbo is a smart man. He met Chen Yang for the first time today, so he couldn't show his purpose too much. He just wanted to get to know Chen Yang.

Of course, it is unrealistic to say that there is no purpose at all.

Chen Yang is very famous now, and he is definitely a frequent guest of many pharmaceutical companies. There are definitely many pharmaceutical companies that want to get to know Chen Yang and want to be friends with him.

In fact, during this period, Zhao Hongbo was not the only pharmaceutical company leader or senior executive who wanted to get to know Chen Yang and invite him to dinner.

It’s just that Chen Yang doesn’t like to get involved in these things.

Zhao Hongbo also put in a lot of thought and asked Gao Hong for help, and then Gao Hong found Lin Zhenxing.

If Lin Zhenxing hadn't invited him today, Chen Yang wouldn't have come.

The dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

Director Gao Hong was obviously only introducing us out of courtesy and did not stay for long. He said goodbye and left after the meal.

Lin Zhenxing, Chen Yang and Zhao Hongbo moved to the tea room, drank sobering tea and continued chatting.

"Director Chen, to be honest, I took the liberty of inviting you this time. Besides wanting to get to know you, a contemporary miracle doctor, I do have some selfish motives."

Zhao Hongbo was very humble and personally poured tea for Chen Yang.

"Please speak, Mr. Zhao." Chen Yang picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and looked calm.

"In recent years, Kehua Pharmaceuticals has invested heavily in innovative drugs, especially in cardiovascular and anti-tumor targeted drugs, and has made some breakthroughs. Several of our drugs have entered Phase III clinical trials, and the prospects are very promising."

Zhao Hongbo explained, his tone tinged with pride but also with a subtle hint of anxiety: "But as you know, it's not easy for domestic innovative drugs to truly go global and gain widespread recognition in the international medical community. Often, it's not that our drugs are inadequate, but rather that we lack a significant 'stepping stone' and 'promoter'."

Chen Yang nodded slightly to show his understanding.

The domestic pharmaceutical industry started late and has a weak foundation. Despite rapid growth in recent years, it still lags behind European and American giants in terms of international influence. Many promising drugs lack sufficient clinical data and endorsements from authoritative experts, making it difficult to enter the international market.

"Director Chen, you are now renowned in the international medical community, especially for your achievements in hepatobiliary surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and the integration of Chinese and Western medicine. They are obvious to all."

Zhao Hongbo looked at Chen Yang eagerly: "This New York Summit is a grand gathering of the world's top medical experts..."

Zhao Hongbo hurriedly explained, "We don't need Director Chen's recommendation. We just hope to travel with you this time. If you can introduce us to some international experts...it will be a huge help to us."

Zhao Hongbo directly stated his purpose, which was to use Chen Yang's fame to travel with him, nothing more.

I have to say that Zhao Hongbo is quite sensible in his actions. They are just colleagues, and if convenient, Chen Yang can introduce them to some international experts. There is a need, but it is not excessive.

Lin Zhenxing drank tea on the side, not saying anything, just looking at Chen Yang. He was pulling the strings, and whether it would succeed or not depended entirely on Chen Yang's own will. Lin Zhenxing knew Chen Yang very well and knew that Chen Yang had his own principles and bottom line.

"Of course, Director Chen, all the expenses for your trip to New York this time will be sponsored by our Kehua Pharmaceutical." Zhao Hongbo said hurriedly.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. Since we are going to New York together, it is only natural that we should take care of each other. Mr. Zhao is definitely more familiar with New York than I am."

After all, this is Chen Yang's first time going abroad. Although Borg will most likely arrange everything, Kehua Pharmaceutical must have connections and contacts in New York.

It cannot be said that Chen Yang trusts Zhao Hongbo, a Chinese, more, but Borg and Zhao Hongbo each have their own connections. Zhao Hongbo is being kind this time, so it is difficult for Chen Yang to refuse.

"Of course, if Director Chen is interested in our Kehua Pharmaceutical in the future, we can also cooperate, and Director Chen can slowly get to know our Kehua Pharmaceutical." Zhao Hongbo said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhao..."

Chen Yang put down his teacup and looked at Zhao Hongbo frankly. "I understand what you mean. Kehua Pharmaceutical is a leading domestic innovative drug company. Your development, in a sense, also represents the progress of our country's medical industry. I am happy to see it."

A look of joy appeared on Zhao Hongbo's face.

But Chen Yang quickly changed the subject: "However, you should also understand me. Whether it is medication or surgery, I always adhere to the principle of 'efficacy first' and be responsible to the patient."

"So, if there's a follow-up collaboration, I'll personally understand and review it, and even see a more detailed clinical trial report. ... Or maybe it's really as you said, with significant efficacy and solid data..."

Chen Yang didn't say anything else, but his meaning was clear.

Chen Yang doesn't like this kind of business entertainment, so he said it in advance.

Nowadays, Chen Yang no longer needs to flatter many people. Even for a business owner like Zhao Hongbo, Chen Yang does not need to consider his face too much. Some ugly things should be said upfront, which is good for everyone.

Far from being disappointed, Zhao Hongbo was filled with awe and respect: "Director Chen, don't worry! I, Zhao Hongbo, may pay attention to methods and strategies when doing things, but I would never dare to falsify drug quality and data!"

"That would damage our reputation and be a crime against humanity! If Director Chen wants to know, I can have all the research data and clinical trial data for the relevant drugs sent to you, the original copies! You can always assign any expert on your team to verify it, or even conduct an on-site inspection of our laboratories and clinical bases!"

"Mr. Zhao, let's talk about this later." Chen Yang smiled.

"Yes, I was too impatient! Thank you, Director Chen!" Zhao Hongbo stood up excitedly and wanted to pour tea for Chen Yang again.

"Mr. Zhao, you're welcome." Chen Yang raised his hand to block him, "This is all for the better development of domestic medical care."

After chatting for a while, Chen Yang stood up to say goodbye, and Lin Zhenxing accompanied Chen Yang out.

"How is it? I hope it doesn't embarrass you?" Lin Zhenxing asked with a smile.

"No, the person introduced by Brother Lin still has some sense."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Besides, if we can really help outstanding domestic pharmaceutical companies go global, it will be a good thing."

"As long as you know what's going on."

Lin Zhenxing smiled and said, "I know you have principles. Everything should be done according to your own rules. Don't think too much about it."

"Brother Lin, you're joking. I won't give anyone face in this kind of thing." Chen Yang said half-jokingly.

"Hahaha......"

Lin Zhenxing laughed loudly, and as they arrived at the parking lot, he opened the car door for Chen Yang and said, "Brother Chen, let the driver take you home. I have something else to do, so I won't take you there myself."

"Brother Lin, you go ahead and do your work." Chen Yang nodded with a smile and said, "I'll go see Mr. Lin tomorrow."
