Chapter 46
"Why not?" Wang Qiang was still polite to the future father-in-law in his heart, and said generously, "Uncle Xiao, you are the most familiar with this mountain. Why don't you take us to find the yew, and you will be the best if you find it."

Yue Shan endured his anger: "Everyone. The fact that the yew tree has medicinal properties, our village already knew about it when we entertained the foreign guests last time. But, the two foreign guests have kept something secret from us. The medicinal properties of the yew tree are not only for curing headaches and headaches. As simple as heat. There may be greater utility."

Li Qingjiang chattered, and asked in a neutral tone: "What's the effect? ​​Let's hear it?"

Yue Shan hesitated for a while, and said sincerely: "I can't say for sure what the effect of the medicine is. But think about it, if it wasn't for the great use of the yew, those people would be worthy of a high price reward?"

It's not that Li Qingjiang didn't doubt it, but money is more important!He sneered and said, "I didn't make it clear after all the talk. Comrade Xiao, you'd better get out of the way, don't affect our work and make money."

For a while, the crowd was raging, and the people in Yunlai Village were also gearing up to try it out.Yue Shan was so anxious that the village chief couldn't stop him.

In a moment of desperation, Doctor Zhu's voice sounded.

"Xiao Yueshan is right. Yew trees do have rarer uses." 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. They know that I am an educated youth in Shanghai. They know the origin of my family's medicine. 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 foreign medical research report." Dr. Zhu explained, "One of the research results is very eye-catching. Foreign experts have extracted a very precious drug from the bark of the yew tree: paclitaxel. He looked around at the bewildered faces of everyone, and suddenly raised his voice. "Paclitaxel, it can treat cancer!"

"Wow!"

"My God. Can cure cancer!"

It was also the first time for Li Qingjiang to hear the news, and he was also shocked.The doubts in my heart were also explained: this is how the price of five yuan per catty of bark came about.

Dr. Zhu raised his hand in a gesture of silence: "But yew trees are very, very precious. Asia has the largest storage in the world. Folks, think about it. Now those foreigners have taken us away with a low price of five yuan a catty. The yew tree grows in the mountains for hundreds of years or even tens of thousands of years. When we need it to save our lives, we can only find it abroad and buy it back at a high price of tens of thousands. Are you willing?"

Yue Shan responded loudly: "I don't want to!"

No, who wants to?It's not that you are so poor that you are starving to death, who wants to sell a family heirloom at a low price?
Aunt Liu's husband, Yu Dabao, muttered, "One day, we will be taken advantage of!"

The crowd suddenly burst into laughter.

"I don't want to. I don't want to either." Bai Yang in Li Qingjiang's team muttered to himself.

Li Qingjiang glared at him.However, Bai Yang's eyes were red: "Captain, I, my father died of stomach cancer."

Li Qingjiang's angry expression suddenly turned into embarrassment.

Bai Yang wiped his eyes: "Captain, I'm sorry. I can't go up the mountain with you." After saying that, he turned his head and left.

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

Hong Cun whispered a few words in Dr. Zhu's ear.Dr. Zhu stared at Li Qingjiang, and said earnestly: "Captain Li. I heard that you have already submitted a party report to the party organization. You are a good and motivated young man. Therefore, you should explain the truth behind this matter and its The seriousness should be told to more people. For us, it’s okay if we don’t know, but now that we know, we can’t still say, “I don’t feel sorry for selling my father’s land”, and end up being taken advantage of, right?”

Li Qingjiang's embarrassing expression gradually became serious.

He stepped forward to hold Dr. Zhu's hand, and shook it vigorously: "Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. We have all been deceived. After this battle, I will be more cautious in the future, and I will never do what I did today again." Impulsive mistake."

Doctor Zhu withdrew his hand with a smile: "Okay, okay. It's good that Captain Li understands."

Yue Shan took the lead in applauding and applauding loudly.Then there was a thunderous applause at the scene.

Li Qingjiang glanced at Yueshan, and the foul breath in his stomach could not be dispelled, so stuffy that his internal organs were burning like pain.

A storm vanished.

Hongcun was very happy, so he took Dr. Zhu, who had made great contributions, to invite him to the small cafeteria of the village committee for dinner.Unexpectedly, Dr. Zhu pointed to Yue Shan and said, "It's not my credit. It was Ling Mei who asked me to come here."

Hong Cun was startled: "Lingmei again?"

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

Dr. Zhu didn't refuse, and he got a lot of benefits from Lingmei this time.

He did have contacts with relatives and friends abroad.But about paclitaxel, he just learned about it and sold it now.

A quarter of an hour ago, Lingmei found him and asked him to come forward to persuade the crowd who felled the yew trees.Doctor Zhu was surprised after hearing her introduction to Yew Shan: "How do you know?"

He didn't suspect that Lingmei lied to him. After all, such a professional word as "taxol" couldn't have been made up by Lingmei, a junior high school student in a mountainous area.

Ling Mei explained: "This is what Secretary Zhang who came to the city told us last time. Otherwise, why did the foreign guests want to build a pharmaceutical factory in the city because of this tree? But the matter is very important, and Secretary Zhang has to wait for the upper floor It can only be announced to the public after the approval of the higher level. You are highly respected and a professional, and what you say is much more convincing."

Doctor Zhu did not refuse.What's more, there is Jun Xiao who is cowardly at the side.So I made the most important decision of my life.

This decision made him successful and famous, and he easily settled down with his wife and children in BJ without much trouble. After many years, every time I think of it, I have to thank Lingmei's god for a fortune, and then sigh with emotion about my family's luck.

After a hearty meal at Yueshan's house, before leaving, Hong Cun pulled Doctor Zhu and said, "You can go to Wang Guichuan's house to have a look later. Xiujuan in his house doesn't seem to be doing well."

Doctor Zhu frowned: "Hit her again?"

"I don't know if she was knocked out or starved." Hong Cun sighed, "If something happens to that girl, I can't bear it. Please, I will pay the doctor's expenses."

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

He settles in Yunlai Village, builds a house, gets married and has children, and Hong Village takes care of everything.The relationship between the two is like that of brothers.

Hong Cun smiled wryly: "Thank you."
