- Chapter 477 Journey to Africa
After talking about the future itinerary, Chen Zheng suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the batch of Chinese herbal medicine I told you about before?"
It turns out that before Chen Zheng came to Africa, he had thought that by joining the medical team this time, he could completely expand the business of Baicao Industry to Africa. After all, Africa is also a very broad market.
Speaking of which, Baicao Industry now has more than a dozen products with core competitiveness, but these products are generally expensive.
It¡¯s not because the materials are expensive, but mainly because Chen Zheng provided the prescriptions and developed these medicines. There are no other similar products on the market. It is against the rules to make things rare and expensive, and they are monopolized, so the prices naturally rise.
In China, it is only considered an upper-middle level, and ordinary families can afford it, but in Europe and the United States, because of the high pricing and tariffs, it can be said to be sky-high.
Therefore, these products are not suitable to be shipped to poor countries in Africa, because even if they are shipped, the African people who do not even have enough to eat cannot afford them.
And these drugs are sold all over the world, and it is not appropriate for the prices to differ too much in different countries, otherwise it will be considered regional discrimination.
Therefore, the only products that are most suitable for the African market are Chinese herbal medicines. It can cure diseases and is cheaper than Western medicine. What¡¯s more, Africa itself has a strong traditional Chinese medicine market.
The several large Chinese herbal medicine planting bases of Baicao Industry can fully supply the research and development and production of new drugs. As for the rest, they can also be exported and make another round of money. Why not?
??And when the time comes, you can also consider setting up a clinic in Africa. After all, the free medical team is just for a tour and will not be stationed for a long time. After all, there is only one medical team.
Although Africans are very poor, there are ways to make money from the rich, and there are ways to make money from the poor.
It's like a fable. In a certain country, everyone walks barefoot and never wears shoes. But if you meet a person who knows how to sell and buy shoes, you may have very good benefits, nothing more than small profits. pin.
Africa is lagging behind in modernization and there are not many large hospitals with Western medicine. People are willing to believe in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, Chen Zheng has extraordinary medical skills. If he leads a group of people to open a clinic, he may quickly monopolize the entire African market and make China's traditional medical skills disappear. It seems that there is such a big resistance in Europe and the United States.
When the time comes to promote Chinese medicine, it will be regarded as fulfilling the master's last wish, Chen Zheng thought in his heart.
In fact, Chen Zheng has traveled to many places since he came out of the mountain for so long, but he has never forgotten the words that the ancient Taoist priest told Chen Zheng before he died.
For him, no matter how much money he makes, it is actually necessary preparations to fulfill the last wish of the ancient Taoist Master. After all, only with money can he truly promote the five arts of metaphysics on a large scale!
"Brother Da Zheng, don't worry." Bai Rou said over the phone: "It has been almost a month since you left Canghai City. Within this month, I have made all preparations and approved the procedures. Now the first batch of Chinese herbal medicine has been packed on the ship and sent to sea. In a few days, it will arrive at the port in South Africa, and then some will be divided and shipped to Central Africa. "
"Well, that's good." Chen Zheng smiled and nodded. Bai Rou is indeed the destiny of Mingzhu Chuhai. She is really like his right-hand man. Although there are many trivial matters in her hands, she can handle them all in an orderly manner. , it is indeed valuable.
¡¡
Chen Zheng stayed in the Seychelles for more than a week, and then he finally returned to Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, with Anna and Jones.
After returning to the station of the Chinese Medical Aid Team in Africa, Chen Zheng immediately took Wen Dai to see Dr. Steve.
The reason why he brought Wen Dai with him was because Chen Zheng had been deliberately training Wen Dai since he arrived in Africa. Any contact with patients and administering medicine was done by Wen Dai, while Chen Zheng watched and gave guidance.
Up to now, Wen Dai had done everything smoothly. She helped Dr. Steve untie the bandage, wash off the medicine, and press the wound. Wen Dai said: "Brother Da Zheng, the wound on Dr. Steve's leg is , It¡¯s almost better now. In my opinion, there is no need to apply any more medicine. Brother Da Zheng, am I right?¡±
"Yeah." Chen Zheng nodded and asked, "Dr. Steve, how do you feel? If we leave for the Central African Republic now, do you think your injury will be affected?"
"No, no, I'm all healed!" Dr. Steve shouted repeatedly: "Chen Zhengxian, after this personal experience, I have seen the magic of traditional Chinese medicine even more, so I have made up my mind. I want to learn Chinese medicine systematically and comprehensively with you!¡±
Chen?He pondered for a moment, but did not answer.
"Why, Chen Zhengxian, do you doubt my determination?"
"That's not true," Chen Zheng shook his head and said, "Dr. Steve, although you are a doctor, you are a doctor of Western medicine. If you want to learn Chinese medicine, you can say that you have to start from scratch."
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you start from scratch, I learn things very quickly,¡± Dr. Steve asked again, ¡°You just need to tell me now where I can start learning.¡±
"Where to start learning?" Chen Zheng couldn't answer this question.
Because you have to know that Chinese medicine is very complicated and cannot be mastered step by step according to books. Therefore, it is difficult to learn Chinese medicine in school like Western medicine.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Zhengcai said: "The first step is to forget all the medical knowledge you have learned before."
"Huh? Forgot?" Dr. Steve was stunned.
Yes, just like Kung Fu, if a foreign boxer comes to learn Chinese Tai Chi, the first step Chen Zheng can think of is to make him forget everything he has learned before.
It is true that boxing has boxing skills, but at least one thing is completely different from Tai Chi, that is, if you practice Tai Chi according to the method of boxing to train physical fitness and muscles, you will never be able to develop the internal strength of Tai Chi in your life, let alone Practice until the whole body is wrapped with silk, and the silk is wrapped inside and outside.
This difference is like the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, which belong to two different systems.
"Isn't there an example? If the water in the cup is full, it is impossible to put anything else in it unless it is emptied." Chen Zheng smiled and said, "Your cup of water is full. And you are a doctor, so it is still very full, so you must empty out the water you put in before you can learn what I have given you. "
Chen Zheng is not exaggerating when he says this. In fact, compared to doctors of Western medicine, Chen Zheng prefers teaching and does not know much about Western medicine.
Because if you don¡¯t understand anything, it¡¯s just a blank piece of paper. No matter how you teach it, the pattern you want will be formed on the paper.
But Dr. Steve¡¯s piece of paper is already full of writing. Whether it can be erased depends on Dr. Steve¡¯s wishes.
"But Chen Zhengxian~, the human brain is far from fully developed. Although I have learned a lot before, I still have enough space to learn new things. My glass of water is not full yet. "Dr. Steve doesn't agree with what Chen Zheng said.
Chen Zheng shook his head: "Even if it is not full, after decades of studying Western medicine, your mind has formed a fixed mindset, so when you study Chinese medicine again, you will unconsciously use the theories of Western medicine to guide Chinese medicine. But Western medicine and Chinese medicine belong to two separate theoretical systems, so you won¡¯t be able to learn it. It¡¯s better to wait until you have learned it more, and then you can learn from each other¡¯s strengths and complement each other.¡±
Dr. Steve thought about it carefully and realized that what Chen Zheng said did make sense.
Since you want to learn Chinese medicine well, then just listen to Chen Zheng and nodded: "Okay, I listen to you. I will try my best to forget what I have learned." Then he shrugged: "But can I forget it? I don't know."
"Since you are willing to put down your body to learn Chinese medicine, then you are a primary school student." Chen Zheng smiled: "In our Taoist sect, the ranking of brothers has always been based on the order of entry, so you As a junior, your seniority is not as high as that of Wen Dai. If you follow the rules of our Taoist sect in ancient times, you would still call her Senior Sister."
Although Dr. Steve is not too old, he is already middle-aged, and Wendai is just a college graduate. Therefore, when Dr. Steve heard what Chen Zheng said, he was stunned and dumbfounded.
¡°It would still make Dr. Steve very embarrassed if he calls her Senior Sister Wen Dai publicly.
Fortunately, Chen Zheng followed up and added: "But that's an ancient theory. In modern times, you are a foreigner, so you don't have to be so harsh, but at the very least, you have to respect Wen Dai like a senior sister."
"Ok, ok, I will respect her." Dr. Steve nodded repeatedly, which was much better than calling her senior sister.
"Don't feel embarrassed, I'm doing this for your own good." Chen Zheng added: "In China, when the master preaches, he really just preaches a 'Tao'. How much he can learn depends on the students themselves. Enlightenment. You have just learned Chinese medicine. You must learn Chinese medicine well and be proficient in ancient Chinese medicine books. It is difficult to understand the Chinese language, but if Wen Dai is there to guide you, you can learn it faster. Gotta do it.¡±
"Oh, that's it." Dr. Steve suddenly realized that he really needed to have a good relationship with Wendela.
??????????????????????Dr. Steve has already seen the medical practice process. Wen Dai knows the ancient Chinese medicine books mentioned by Chen Zheng by heart.
Dr. Steve couldn¡¯t understand the meaning of many of these words. If he had it all on his own, he might not be able to get in for decades.
Therefore, Dr. Steve quickly stood at attention, bowed to Wen Dai, and tried his best to imitate the Chinese tone and said: "Miss Wen Dai, please give me more help and guidance in the future."
Although Dr. Steve was still embarrassed to call her senior sister, Wen Dai still felt flattered by this.
You must know that the person in front of you is a member of the World Medical Association and a famous doctor of medicine. He has improved many surgeries and has in-depth research on cardiorenal skills. But I didn't expect that such a master would ask me for guidance. This kind of thing is like a dream.
For a moment, Wen Dai was like a mist.
But this also made Wen Dai more sure that giving up the opportunity to find a job after graduation and studying Chinese medicine with Chen Zheng was the right choice. Her future will be brilliant!
¡¡
We didn¡¯t stay in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, for a day or two. By this time, Captain Li had already arranged everything.
Through international organizations, we have also obtained commitments from all armed forces in Central Africa. Not only will they not harass the medical teams, but they will also be responsible for protecting them wherever they go.
If that force dares to threaten the safety of the medical team members, it will inevitably become the target of public criticism, and other forces will attack together.
With such a result, everyone can set foot on the land of the Central African Republic with more or less confidence.
Rather than going to the capital first, we took a flight north from Zimbabwe, and then transported everyone by car to Central Africa.
At the beginning, we arrived in the most remote backcountry of the Central African Republic.
When we got here, the members of the medical team finally knew that no wonder Central Africa is one of the poorest countries in the world. If he was not on the list, it would be unjust.
Because the Central African tribes they saw here even lived like primitive people. The houses they lived in were all simple shacks built with thatch. The men and women had very little fabric on their bodies. All of them were barefoot and open-chested.
What¡¯s even more interesting is that many people still have their faces painted, just like the Indians in the movie many years ago.
¡°And the people in these tribes don¡¯t grow food. They usually make a living by hunting. After all, they rely on the tropical rain forest and live a nomadic life.
There is no way. As the saying goes, relying on mountains to feed mountains, relying on water to feed water, just relying on a deep forest, the people of a small tribe will never starve to death.
The tribes living in the primitive tropical rainforest were better off. After walking for a few days, they came to a land of yellow sand. The tribes here were truly poor. They lacked food and water, and only 10% of them were sick.
In addition, the lifestyle of primitive tribes is relatively primitive and they are very open about issues between men and women. The spread of AIDS is even more difficult to contain.
Director Zhou said before that in Central Africa, the average life expectancy is less than 40, and that is for the whole country.
¡°This is the poorest region in Central Africa. The average life expectancy is less than 30, and many people die at a young age.
Therefore, the medical team was busy all the way, and it was impossible to treat the patients. All the doctors and nurses, as long as they knew a little bit about medical skills, were very busy, and everyone showed their special abilities.
Of course, the person who has cured the most illnesses and saved lives is none other than Chen Zheng.
After all, there is no need to do various tests. Others treat one patient, but Chen Zheng has already treated three or five.
After a busy day, everyone began to gather around the bonfire to eat and rest in the evening.
Because the medical team has a large number of people, the bonfire is a big pile, and a large group of people gather.
Chen Zheng naturally sat with Wen Dai, Anna, Jones, He Jianyi and others, chatting and laughing while grilling meat.
The meat was not brought by the medical team, nor was it bought from a nearby tribe. It was a hunted animal shot to death by He Jianyi and others. It weighed more than 70 kilograms, and a group of people could not finish it even after several meals.
Yes, by this time He Jianyi and others had officially become the escort of the medical team, responsible for protecting the safety of the members of the medical team from the effects of war.
However, the current location where the medical team is located is sparsely populated and very poor. The tribes here do not have armed forces, so the escort team seems to have nothing to do every day.
Just when they arrived on the African savannah, He Jianyi and others took the guns in their hands and went hunting every day, but?You have a lot of fun, and you can improve the food for the medical team members. Why not?
Most of the people were very grateful and sat together to eat barbecue, and the atmosphere was very joyful.
But there is one exception, and that is Director Zhou.
Director Zhou was not sitting around the big bonfire at this time, but in a place more than 20 meters away from everyone. He gathered weeds and made a small bonfire. He sat there alone, holding a compressed air compressor in one hand. Nibbling on biscuits and drinking tap water with a kettle in one hand.
Captain Li stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Director Zhou, everyone is eating barbecue, but you don't eat barbecue and eat compressed biscuits? That's so tasteless."
"There are so many germs in Africa. Who knows if there are germs on this wild boar? Many diseases are caused by eating indiscriminately." Director Zhou said disdainfully: "That Dr. Chen, who also claims to be a doctor, has no hygiene at all. Concept, he also asked his people to hunt for everyone to eat. If the food goes bad by then, let¡¯s see if he can bear this responsibility!¡±
The first half of Director Zhou¡¯s words were not unreasonable, but in the second half, Captain Li couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.
"You can't say that. All of us were saved by Dr. Chen who sacrificed his life. Even if we really contracted the germ from eating wild boar, I don't think he should be blamed."
"Why can't we blame him? Just because he has passed us, can he harm us again?" Director Zhou shook his head and said: "Besides, he saved us, and we are grateful to him, but it doesn't mean that without him, we will all die. "Our government will not give up on us. It is just that it will be slower to solve the problem through some diplomatic channels, but it will definitely be able to force the rebels to release them in the end."
Captain Li didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment, but he just advised: ¡°But Dr. Chen has saved our entire medical team after all, and Dr. Chen¡¯s medical skills are also very powerful. He deserves our respect.¡±
"Medical skills are great? How can Chinese medicine be so great? Lu Xun said it well, Chinese medicine is just a kind of deliberate or unintentional practice. As long as the disease that Chinese medicine can cure, I am afraid that it will gradually get better on its own. It's just what he said. Seriously, it makes people think he is awesome.¡±
Director Zhou sneered and shook his head, and then said: "Also, Captain Li, you are the captain of our medical team. You should play your role. Don't just send any patient to Dr. Chen for diagnosis. Look at the medical team. Now that the world is dominated by traditional Chinese medicine, how can we, Western medicine, have any prestige? We are all famous Western medicine experts. How can we be embarrassed when we talk about our work performance after we return to China? "
I don¡¯t want to give Chen Zheng a diagnosis at that time, but I also want others to be able to see well. Captain Li was thinking secretly, but he didn't say it out loud.
Indeed, due to the lack of instruments and medicinal materials here, the effect that Western medicine can exert is very small.
On the contrary, Chen Zheng has no choice but to accept these restrictions. This is the advantage of traditional Chinese medicine.
Although Captain Li is also an expert in Western medicine, years of study have convinced him that Western medicine is more powerful, but there is no need to compare his own shortcomings with other people's strengths.
Director Zhou despises traditional Chinese medicine, which is known to everyone in the medical team, but in the face of the facts, he still speaks like this, which makes Captain Li very disgusted.
¡°That¡¯s all, I asked him to eat meat with me out of kindness, but he didn¡¯t appreciate it, so I stopped saying it and kept saying it to avoid any unpleasantness.
So he ignored Director Zhou, took the barbecue in his hand, turned around and ran back to Chen Zheng, sitting on the bonfire and stacking money, everyone talked and laughed.
Director Zhou didn¡¯t feel that he was too lonely by himself. He was still chewing on his compressed bread and seemed to be thinking about something in his mind. - Didn't finish reading?
