No one expected that after Ding Ning's first public class, the entire lecture hall was in chaos.
A group of girls began to fight because of a quarrel, and then their escorts joined in the fight. The first large-scale on-campus fight since the establishment of the medical college came out.
Zhao Jingjing bit her lip and went out of the crowd. She looked a little gloomy. "It seems that the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that I have to work harder and catch up with him."
Ding Ning knew nothing about all this. With a smile, he entrusted the establishment of the branch to Principal Lu and others, and then acted like a hands-off boss.
However, he also generously invested 200 million yuan to solve the shortage of funds of the school, and became the largest investor of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia. Even if he was not the dean in the future, he would still be the largest director.
After receiving the call from Xu Minglu, Ding Ning embarrassedly declined the invitation to have lunch with the professors and hurried to the appointed place.
It was not the first time that Ding Ning had come to Caidie Pavilion. Last time, he accompanied Murong Yanran to the banquet, and he also spent 30 million yuan on Wang Xianghua's wine.
The manager on duty recognized him as a wine fairy. He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he personally led the way for him.
Xu Minglu waited for him at the door of the Butterfly Loves Flowers box. As soon as he met him, he joked with a smile, "Should I call you Professor Ding or Dean Ding?"
The manager on duty, who was about to turn around and leave sensibly, shivered all over, and turned to look at Ding Ning with a shocked face. "Professor? Dean? Are you kidding? How old is he? "
"Well, Brother Xu, don't tease me."
Ding Ning smiled, put his arm around Xu Minglu's shoulder, and got to the point. "Brother Xu, why do you have time to invite me to dinner today?"
"Brother, you have been promoted to dean and become a professor. Can I not congratulate you?"
Seeing that Ding Ning did not change his attitude towards him because of the change of his status, Xu Minglu immediately resumed his previous address.
The manager on duty, who was eavesdropping with his ears propped up, staggered and almost fell to the ground. After standing firmly in embarrassment, his face kept changing.
"Oh my god, it's true. Such a young professor is also a dean. It's incredible."
Noticing this scene, Ding Ning smiled bitterly. "Brother Xu, we are friends. You don't have to be so polite to me."
Xu Minglu laughed. "Come, let's talk inside."
As soon as the door of the box was pushed open, Ding Ning saw Mayor Du sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and looking at him with a smile.
"Mayor Du, why are you here?"
Ding Ning asked in surprise. He had thought that Xu Minglu would celebrate with him alone.
"It's rare for Ming Lu to treat us. Can't I come along and freeload a meal?"
Mayor Du did not put on airs. He stood up with a smile and joked.
"Haha, Mayor Du is too polite."
Ding Ning smiled embarrassedly and wondered what Mayor Du wanted to see him for.
"What Mayor Du? Didn't I tell you that you can call me uncle in private?"
Mayor Du put on a straight face and pretended to be angry.
"This … In that case, Uncle Du!"
Ding Ning felt a little uncomfortable and corrected himself.
"Hey, that's right. Come and sit. You're the guest of honor today, so you have to take the main seat."
Mayor Du beamed with joy and pulled Ding Ning to the main seat.
"No, no, Uncle Du, you are slapping my face."
Of course, Ding Ning would not be arrogant and resolutely refused to sit in the main seat. After declining for a while, Mayor Du finally sat in the main seat, with Xu Minglu and Ding Ning sitting on both sides of him.
The dishes and wine were soon served. Mayor Du had to work in the afternoon, so he replaced wine with tea and gave Xu Minglu half a day off to drink with Ding Ning.
The three of them talked and laughed happily. After three rounds of drinking, Mayor Du became serious and began to talk about the main topic. "Little Ding, I want to ask your opinion on something." Ding Ning, Mayor Du's expression became serious.
"Uncle Du, go ahead."
Ding Ning was also very curious and did not know what Mayor Du wanted to see him for. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and pretended to listen attentively.
"It's about the patent of the Rice Bean Oral Solution."
Speaking of business, Mayor Du's expression also became serious. "Can the formula and patent of the Rice Bean Oral Solution be sold to the state? You can name the price? Of course, you have the right to refuse. I'm just here to negotiate with you on behalf of the state. "
After saying this, he stared at Ding Ning, feeling extremely nervous. If he could negotiate with Ding Ning, it would definitely be a great political achievement for him, and he would have more guarantee to enter the ministries and commissions of the state after the change of office next year.
Although it was only a transfer of the same level, the officials in the capital city were closer to the center of power than the local officials. With his political achievements and qualifications, it was not a problem for him to become a deputy state official step by step in three or five years.
Ding Ning had already considered this problem, so he did not let him wait for too long and said indifferently, "I will not sell the patent to anyone, but I will authorize the production and sales rights to the state for free."
"Are you serious?" Mayor Du suddenly stood up and asked in surprise.
"Of course," Ding Ning answered affirmatively.
"Then what are your conditions?"
After the surprise, Mayor Du quickly calmed down and asked in a business-like manner.
After all, the Rice Bean Oral Solution was developed by Ding Ning, so it was impossible for him not to get some benefits. In his opinion, even if Ding Ning did not ask for an exorbitant price, he would put forward some harsh conditions.
In his opinion, Ding Ning was very likely to propose to give him a commission according to the proportion of production and sales, which meant that he did not have to do anything in his life, and there would be countless drug manufacturers working for him while lying in bed. Every time he sold a portion of the Rice Bean Oral Solution, he would make money.
Although such conditions were not excessive, and the state would definitely agree to them, it would always give people a feeling that Ding Ning was taking advantage of the state's kindness and self-importance, and he was afraid that he would lose a good impression in front of the Central Agency bosses. After all, no matter how capable a greedy person was, he would be disliked by others, which made him very worried.
"I do have conditions. Uncle Du, you should know that the Rice Bean Oral Solution is a new kind of medicine that can replace all antibiotics. My conditions are …"
Ding Ning paused and said softly under Mayor Du's nervous gaze, "When the Rice Bean Oral Solution is sold in China, its market price should be set by the state, and the profit is not allowed to exceed the double of the cost price. Moreover, it is not allowed to become a tool for some pharmaceutical companies to make a fortune."
"That's all?"
Mayor Du was still waiting for Ding Ning to continue, but when he saw that Ding Ning closed his mouth and seemed to have finished speaking, he could not help but ask in astonishment.
"That's all!"
Ding Ning nodded affirmatively. He knew what Mayor Du was thinking, but he would never do that. Although he needed money very much, compared with money, there were many more important things he needed to do.
Mayor Du took a deep look at him and finally understood why Ding Ning insisted on keeping the patent right and only authorized the state to produce and sell it. He wanted the domestic people to be able to use affordable medicine to resist the invasion of Western medicine.
If he kept the patent right in his hands, he would make an issue of the overseas agency right, promote the Rice Bean Oral Solution to the whole world, and in turn, make money from the foreign devils.
As the owner of the Rice Bean Oral Solution, his request was understandable, and he believed that the bosses of the Central Agency would not oppose him, but would praise him very much. After all, what he did was also in line with the country's idea of reviving traditional culture. The only difference was that the large amount of foreign exchange that the country could have earned was now in his private pocket.
But at the same time, huge profits also meant huge risks. Those pharmaceutical giants of Western countries were not kind people.
Mayor Du opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him to do something, but after thinking for a while, he did not say anything.
Ding Ning was a very opinionated person. Since he dared to do this, he must have his reasons. He had done his utmost benevolence by giving the medicine that he had worked hard to develop to the country for free.
If he said more, it would be easy for Ding Ning to misunderstand that he was forcing him to give in in the name of national righteousness, which was not the ending he wanted.
"Okay, I will report it to my superiors as soon as possible. There should be no problem."
Mayor Du was very clear that the bosses of the Central Agency would never have any objection to this happy situation. After all, affordable medicine was in line with the national interests.
As for the overseas market, to put it bluntly, as long as Ding Ning was still a Shenzhou citizen, even if he made all the money in the world, the bosses would not have any opinion, but would applaud and celebrate and show their strong support.
Ding Ning looked at Mayor Du with clear eyes, took out a bottle of medicine, and handed it to him. "Uncle Du, I have just developed an anti-rejection medicine, and I want to trouble you to use your connections to help me speed up some drug testing procedures."
"Anti-rejection medicine? What's its function? "
Mayor Du took the medicine and looked at it with great curiosity.
Ding Ning picked up a mouthful of food and threw it into his mouth, then explained, "After the patient has had an organ transplant, almost all patients will have different degrees of rejection to the transplanted organs. The anti-rejection medicine I developed can eliminate this rejection, so I call it Assimilation Medicine."
"What?" Mayor Du and Xu Minglu cried out in surprise at the same time and looked at Ding Ning in horror.
Even Mayor Du's hands began to tremble. He carefully put away the medicine, lest he accidentally broke it.
To give a simple example, with the increasing development of medicine, there were more than one or two cases of successful heart transplant surgeries.
However, in reality, patients who had received heart transplants would experience various degrees of rejection due to various reasons. Even if the heart was a perfect match, it was unavoidable. This led to many seemingly successful heart transplant surgeries, in fact, did not completely restore the patient's health. There would be various sequelae due to rejection.
Most of them would have organ failure or other complications due to organ rejection in a few years after the surgery, and they had to undergo heart transplant surgeries again to prolong their lives. In some serious cases, they would even die directly.
How to solve the rejection after organ transplant had become a big problem in the medical field. If the Assimilation Medicine could really solve this tricky problem, it could be imagined that it would cause a sensation.
Although they did not know medicine, they knew the importance of this small bottle of medicine. If it was really as Ding Ning said, this bottle of Assimilation Medicine could overcome the rejection of transplanted organs, it meant that he had solved another worldwide medical problem, and the next Nobel Prize would be his.
What did it mean to be a two-time Nobel Prize winner? If the bosses of the Central Agency knew that this bottle of Assimilation Medicine had come out, they would probably agree to it as long as Ding Ning did not put forward conditions that went beyond the bottom line of the country's tolerance.
What kind of person was Mayor Du? He quickly understood Ding Ning's intention and could not help but shake his head with a wry smile.
"This guy is afraid that the Central Agency bosses will be displeased by the matter of retaining the overseas agency rights, so he took out the Assimilation Medicine at this time. I'm afraid that asking me to help with the drug test is a lie, and the real purpose is to show my value to the Central Agency bosses through me."
