Chapter 580: The Highest Level of Lying (Monthly Ticket Plus)

Hearing Henry's words, Lao Zhou was amused and asked:

"Henry, have you and your companions ever been to China before?"

"What does being here have to do with it?" Henry asked.

Lao Zhou responded:
"Of course it matters. You have never met them and don't know what they think. Why do you think the conditions you offer can impress others?"

Henry shrugged and said very confidently:

"Isn't it simple? We can just give him a chance to come to our country. I'm sure he will be happy to accept it."

Old Zhou laughed out loud again:
"Hahahaha, Henry, you've made me laugh several times today."

Henry raised his head and said with certainty:

"Mr. Zhou, I trust my judgment."

His arrogant attitude made Lao Zhou lose interest in continuing to speak, so he nodded and said to him:

"Well, well, Arrogant Henry, I wish you success then."

Henry smiled, not caring at all, and replied:
"Thank you."

Fangyan and the dean, who were watching the whole process, both pretended not to understand English, but in fact they had heard their conversation clearly.

As the saying goes, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. Henry turned around and said to the translator:
"We have finished visiting the patient's family, and now we can go meet the Chinese medicine doctor who performed the miracle."

After the translator told everyone this, the dean pretended to wake up from a dream, nodded, and made an invitation gesture to Henry and the others.

Then the group came to the dean's office.

The dean then introduced the dialect to Henry and his companions.

Of course, the whole process was in Chinese, and it was all done by translators.

Because the tone of this exchange had been set long ago, even though Henry just said he wanted to dig out dialects, the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health were not panicking at all.

After introducing the dialect to them, the two were still a little skeptical.

It's hard to imagine that such a young man accomplished this feat.

As if they had known that they would have such doubts, someone immediately brought them a newspaper.

It was all news about Fangyan. Although it was a Chinese newspaper, it had pictures on it. Henry and his team also brought a Chinese translator with them. After their own translator's translation, they confirmed that Fangyan was the Chinese medicine doctor they were looking for.

Henry came up and shook hands with Fangyan enthusiastically.

Fangyan was even more enthusiastic than him. He held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go until people from several nearby newspapers had taken photos from all angles. Only then did he let go of Henry's hand, which had been squeezed until it turned white.

The last time Henry was pinched on the hand like this was by an Indian doctor. He didn't know what was going on, but thought it was some kind of Asian etiquette, believing that the harder the pinch, the more welcome it meant.

Little did he know that after taking the photos this time, Fangyan's task had been 70% completed, and the next step was for both sides to practice Tai Chi.

Henry asked Fang Yan about the treatment methods.

Fangyan began to talk to him about the general direction of treatment. Knowing the future research trends of Western medicine, Fangyan began to tell them:
Traditional Chinese medicine has long discovered that some herbal medicines can delay the progression of pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the synthesis and release of cytokines such as transforming growth factor-β and reducing the production of extracellular matrix such as collagen.

Some other herbs change their properties after processing and develop new functions. They can block the signal transduction of multiple growth factor receptors involved in the process of pulmonary fibrosis, such as platelet-derived growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor, etc., thereby inhibiting the proliferation and activation of fibroblasts.

This really excited Henry and his companions.

Because he found that he could understand all the "Chinese medicine knowledge" in dialect, and these things were also what they had assumed and guessed. They really didn't expect that Chinese herbal medicine had advanced to this level.

What kind of lie can make the other person believe it?
Of course it’s not all lies, but 70% truth mixed with 30% lies.

The dialects all talk about their future research directions in Western medicine.

It’s just that these things are not found in herbs.

The first one mentioned in the dialect is pirfenidone, which was accidentally developed by Japan's Shionogi Pharmaceutical Company when it was developing anti-inflammatory drugs.

The other is a small molecule multi-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed by Germany's Boehringer Ingelheim in 2014.

Later, the two drugs were used in Western medicine to treat pulmonary fibrosis.

However, the effect is only to prolong the patient's survival time and it is impossible to reverse the condition like traditional Chinese medicine.

But this is not important. What is important is that their dialect expresses their true faith.

If the dean didn't know that the hospital didn't conduct any scientific research, he would have suspected that Fangyan had taken out the useful information.

It's so true.

It was a bunch of theories, like: "After we conducted corresponding research on Chinese herbal medicines in ancient prescriptions for similar causes, we found that they can, under certain conditions, inhibit the function of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases involved in the process of pulmonary fibrosis, including platelet-derived growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor..." The two professional foreigners were stunned.

The foreigner kept talking in dialect for an hour, leaving the two scratching their heads and eager to know what kind of herb it was.

Then Fangyan said that this was confidential and it was not convenient to disclose the relevant information.

Henry then extended an invitation to Fang Yan, hoping that he could go to the United States to attend a medical conference when the opportunity arises, and put forward a very attractive condition. If Fang Yan was willing to disclose information about Chinese herbal medicine involved in the treatment methods, they could guarantee that a Nobel Prize winner would nominate Fang Yan when the Nobel Prize is nominated in September this year.

To be honest, their proposal really made Fangyan a little excited.

However, Fangyan immediately came to his senses. Not to mention being nominated, even if he was awarded the Nobel Prize, it would not work. He would definitely not hand over his method.

Fangyan told Dr. Henry that he would consider it.

This answer made Henry a little disappointed. He originally thought that Fang Yan would immediately and happily agree to cooperate. However, when he thought about the many official personnel around, Henry felt that Fang Yan’s current reaction was reasonable.

If Fangyan agreed immediately, he would really be suspicious.

Then it was already half past eleven, and Henry and his friends declined the invitation to dine here and were about to leave Concorde.

Before leaving, he did not forget to invite Fang Yan, asking him to find time to come to the United States for exchanges.

Then Fangyan held his hand and took a photo with him.

After Henry and the others left, the people from the Ministry of Health immediately found Fangyan and asked him what he had just said.

"Of course it's fake. Chinese medicine and Western medicine are not the same system at all. What I just said is to force the theory of Western medicine into the system of Chinese medicine. In fact, the two systems are completely unrelated and not compatible at all. Those enzymes, receptors, factors, genes and so on are all my nonsense."

"Traditional Chinese medicine is traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine is Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can only assist each other, but they cannot be combined."

"This time, everyone can watch the US help pay for verification. The so-called integration of Chinese and Western medicine is just nonsense!"
