Chapter 283 Ding Ning’s Research Direction
Another deputy minister of the Ministry of Health was in charge of the Yan Jing No. 1 Emergency Research and Development Base, while Minister Jiang was responsible for the Ninghai No. 2 Emergency Research and Development Base.
Starting today, medical experts from all over the country would come to gather in the two bases one after another. When the full resources of the country were brought together, they would compose a soul-stirring, passionate battle song with their loyalty and righteous ardor.
5,000 years of Chinese history told us that although this great nation had experienced countless disasters, its people would neither be submissive nor lack the courage to create miracles. This time would be no exception!
At this moment, nobody had ulterior motives. All of them were racking their brains to think about the things that they needed.
Well, Ding Ning was different from others. Immediately, he wrote down all the things he wanted after taking out a pen and paper. In less than five minutes, he gave Minister Jiang the required list.
Minister Jiang frowned slightly because he thought that Ding Ning was too reckless. In his heart, he felt a little disappointed. “After all, he is too young, and certainly is unsettled and short-tempered. How can such a man accomplish something big?”
Mayor Du also looked a little unhappy. He was the one who had strongly recommended Ding Ning. That was part of the reason why Ding Ning was invited here to participate in the research and development task this time. Mayor Du thought, “Ding Ning is a little green. Perhaps, it will take him a few more years of experience to become really mature.”
Minister Jiang took Ding Ning’s registration form to check it over. On it was written: a separate laboratory, a full set of experimental equipment, and a long name list of about 100 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines.
This form greatly shocked him, and then Minister Jiang looked at Ding Ning with surprise. “Do you want to develop a type of traditional Chinese medicine that can replace antibiotics?”
Remaining calm, Ding Ning nodded and replied with a firm look. “Yes, Minister Jiang.”
“How do you rate your chance of success?” Mayor Du asked with considerable interest.
“There is never any guarantee of success before a new thing is successfully developed.”
With a steadfast gaze, Ding Ning added frankly, “The drug I want to develop is not just something that can replace Abel antibiotics but a drug that can replace all antibiotics once and for all.”
“What are you talking about? You are extremely arrogant!”
“You simply do not know the complexity of this thing. Do you think that developing a drug is as simple as kneading clay?”
“Young people are always extremely unrealistic. It is a good thing to have such ambition, but you should act according to your capacity.”
“You are right. Each kind of antibiotic has its own unique function. It will be amazing enough if someone can develop an antibiotic in three months.”
“Alas, Ding Ning is still one of the frivolous young people. He is overly ambitious, with both feet suspended above solid ground.”
……
A group of experts and professors were stunned by Ding Ning’s heroic utterances. They all shook their heads and sighed.
Even those professors who had a good impression of him felt that Ding Ning behaved too impetuously and frivolously, and their affection for him plummeted.
But Minister Jiang’s gaze sharpened. “Do you have a preliminary idea now?”
Ding Ning’s face was calm because he did not care about other people’s doubts. George was neither cringing nor arrogant, and he said, “Yes, I have an idea, but I have not verified it yet. It needs further improvement and closer analyses.”
“I saw the article that you posted on your microblog. In it, you sharply denounced those people who did not have national integrity. This article is very insightful. I have faith in you. Keep it up!”
Mayor Du smiled and encouraged Ding Ning.
“Can you share your idea to open our minds?”
Minister Jiang paid no attention to microblogs. He focused his attention only on the research and development of drugs, which was the top priority in his eyes.
“Thank you, Mayor Du!”
Ding Ning politely thanked Mayor Du. Right after that, he kept a straight face and answered Minister Jiang’s question. “I do not intend to hide my idea from you. But my idea is not mature enough. If I tell all of you my idea, it will only pull you away from your train of thought. So I’d better not to say it.”
In fact, Ding Ning wanted to share his ideas with others. But he could not because the new drug that he developed to replace antibiotics needed to use the 9000-year-old ganoderma lucidum.
The antibiotics were simply drugs that could effectively inhibit or kill all living matter at very low concentrations. Antibiotics would kill all living matter that they encountered, whether it was good or bad. Thus, antibiotics would cause many other side effects. In this case, antibiotics were the same as tumor chemotherapy drugs.
For example, if a child could not hear after he had used gentamicin and amikacin, he would become a deaf child in the future. If the adult used gentamicin and amikacin, he would get some kidney problems. Also, the heavy use of tetracycline in erythromycin would damage the liver. If a child used tetracycline, it could result in developmental issues of his teeth and bones.
The adverse reactions varied with each type of antibiotic, which involved every organ and system of the human body. But it was just that the focus of each drug was different.
According to his study of ganoderma lucidum and Feng Jun’s limb-regeneration test, Ding Ning believed that the human body had a certain ability of self-regenerating. However, this ability could only be aroused by stimulating the human body under certain conditions.
Ganoderma lucidum was the best immunomodulator and immunity stimulator. Beyond that, the polysaccharide and polypeptide it contained had obvious anti-aging effects, which almost had no toxic side effects on the human body. This was an advantage of this non-toxic immune activator. It was precisely the strong point that many other tumor chemotherapy drugs and immune promoters did not have.
By absorbing organic matter and humus, ganoderma lucidum could replicate itself. In its body, it had the strongest bioactive constituents found on Earth so far and the most complete functional nutrients.
Ding Ning wanted to utilize the ganoderma lucidum’s characteristics to kill pathogens that could cause infections and even infectious diseases. But meanwhile, his treatment brought no harm to the normal immune bacterium that was inherent in the human body. In the end, his patients could restore their health. This was Ding Ning’s research direction.
As long as Ding Ning successfully found the microbes that acted as the stimulator and could help ganoderma lucidum replicate itself, he could extract the same substances from plants and animals to make a new agent. This new agent could exterminate all viral bacteria and activate the patient’s own immune bacterium. In this way, the agent could restore the patient’s health.
Ding Ning could not wait to verify his idea. Thus, without any delay, he said goodbye to everyone and left in advance.
Usually, a brand-new drug could not be developed in a short time. Ding Ning knew that he should calm down and throw himself into the research process. Therefore, before he immersed himself in the research, Ding Ning still had to make arrangements for some things first.
“Liu Junwei is like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark. God knows whether or not he will come up with some intrigues and plots to deal with me when I only concentrate on my research,” Ding Ning thought.
However, Liu Junwei was a member of the National Security Bureau. So protected by this identity, he was safe for the moment because Ding Ning dared not to kill him directly. But at least, Ding Ning could bring some trouble to him first. Then, Liu Junwei would be too busy to do bad things to him.
George was very depressed during this time. Since he woke up that night, he found that his whole body seemed to be beaten black and blue. But he did not know why even his anus hurt like hell. It was not until he lay in bed for two full days did he finally recover.
What made him most uncomfortable was that he had slept with two such alluring women, but he actually had no memories of the whole process. Thus, he could not recall and enjoy the things that had happened between them again.
Although Liu Junwei explained to himself that the drug must have had too strong of an effect, the pain in his anus kept reminding him that something seemed to be wrong. “What exactly happened that night? I feel like I didn’t fu*k any woman at all. Rather, I feel as if someone had fu*cked me. Why?”
However, Liu Junwei was George’s old classmate, who was very hospitable to him. Thus, Liu Junwei did not want to tell him of his doubts.
George picked up girls in the name of work, and as the president of the Asian Region of the Jiaboshi Group, he should at least perform something.
Therefore, he started to send flowers to please Ding Qianlie in the Longteng Group every day. George expected that they could also begin their journey of cooperation.
Unfortunately, Ding Qianlie refused to meet him every time and left everything to the CEO, so he could only talk with the CEO face to face. Grinding his teeth, George was full of hatred because of that.
However, his trouble followed. As the present relationship between the U.S. and Shenzhou Country was getting tenser, the Jiaboshi Group of the U.S., a company that people from Shenzhou Country used to fawn on in every aspect, was now under pressure from Shenzhou Country and was pushed aside by its commercial competitors.
Many business people who came to the door to ask for cooperation suddenly changed their minds. They left George in the cold and refused to sign any formal cooperation agreement with him.
And this was not the worst. Problems started to rise up regarding the approval of several major projects. The leader of the National Development and Reform Commission, who treated him with enthusiasm before, now spoke in a bureaucratic tone and kept holding off approving the projects.
Moreover, people from government functional departments, which were in charge of business, taxation affairs, fire prevention, health, as well as the Land Resource Bureau, Bureau of Commerce, etc., went to the Jiaboshi Group to look for trouble in the name of various things every two or three days.
At first, George thought that it was because of the changes that occurred in the relationship between the two countries. But when he answered the inquiry from his family using this reason, his father roared with anger. It was only at this time did he finally realize that things were not as simple as he had thought.
“You idiot, who did you offend?”
“No, that’s not because of me. I have not offended anyone.”
George felt wronged. “I did not cause these problems. It is because of the intense international situation. How could he blame me for not being able to deal with the situation?”
“Oh, my God! You are indeed stupid enough. Don’t you even know that you have offended Minister Wei of the Ministry of Commerce?”
George’s dad was very annoyed. In his eyes, this son was still very capable, although he indulged a little in pleasure-seeking. But it never occurred to him that having stayed in Shenzhou Country for just over a month, George would bring him such big trouble. He placed high expectations on this son. However, if it were not for a good friend in a senior position of Yan Jing dropping him a hint, he would not even have known that his son had provoked such an important person without even being aware of it.
“Minister Wei? But I don’t know who that guy is. So how could I possibly offend him? Perhaps you made a mistake.”
George was very much puzzled because he had never contacted anyone surnamed Wei.
“You stupid swine, how could it be a mistake? I don’t care what you will do, but you should fix this thing as soon as possible. If you are not capable of doing that, then get back fu*king quickly. I will send…”
George’s Dad was nearly going mad with anger. The profit brought to their family by opening up the Shenzhou Country’s market was 10 times greater than that of their business in the U.S. Therefore, this market had become the main economic pillar of their family. If they failed to deal with this trouble, even he, the leader of the family, might be compromised and ousted from his position.
“President, bad news. Something went wrong…”
The president’s assistant, who was always a steady fellow, ran straight in his office all in a fluster without knocking on the door.
George’s beautiful brows were deeply wrinkled. Quickly, he said to his father on the phone, “I will handle this matter well, so be it.”
After George hung up the phone, he said unpleasantly, “Alice, what happened? Why did you come in without my permission? It’s rude, don’t you know that?”
“President, I’m sorry. I beg your pardon for my rudeness. But this matter is very urgent. You can check it out online. Now this news about you is spreading crazy fast on the Internet.”
Alice bowed and apologized. It was just that she gazed at George with a strange look. At first, she had some fancy ideas about this handsome president, but she did not expect that he was gay.
Whenever she remembered the video that she saw before, Alice got a sick feeling in her stomach and would nearly vomit. Even her respectful tone to him had altered subtly.
“News about me? What is the news?”
George was in a fog. However, he still opened the online forums in passing. The title was very eye-catching: “President George of the Asian Region of the Jiaboshi Group and Liu Junwei, the Yige Company’s main shareholder, had a blast late at night.”
His contented and lewd expression appeared in the video, and the man who was madly banging him from behind was precisely Liu Junwei, a close schoolmate of George’s. When George spotted all of this, his face turned green.
“Fu*k, I was set up. It’s pure slander…”
George shouted angrily, the muscles on his face twitching incessantly. “Pow!” He violently pushed the Apple Computer on the desk that was worth more than 10,000 yuan to the ground, and then continuously trampled on it to vent his anger.
“President, calm down. The urgent task at hand is to find out a way to deal with this matter.”
After all, Alice was very professional. Although she felt very reluctant to have any physical contact with this gay guy, she still responsibly tried to soothe his anger and stop him from smashing other things in the office.
