If Fang Hanmin admitted that the new hydrogenation catalysis process was completely independently developed by Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, not only would it not be true, but Professor Li would not believe it, and it would also leave him with the impression of boasting. If it were not developed independently, where would this technology come from? Because Professor Li knows that so far, no domestic institution has developed this technology.
After much deliberation, Fang Hanmin had no choice but to answer ambiguously: "As for the new hydrogenation catalysis process, it is impossible to successfully develop it just relying on the existing conditions of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. However, we have done a lot of work and have some lessons to learn from it."
"Learn from? I know that no institution in China has developed this technology. Who can you learn from?" As expected, Professor Li had this question.
Although it was expected, this question was difficult to answer. In any case, it was impossible for Fang Hanmin to tell Professor Li that this technology came from the 21st century experienced by time travellers.
Unable to draw lessons from China, Fang Hanmin could only resort to old routines, "Actually, we borrowed some of the latest technical information from abroad."
Professor Li asked with great interest: "Oh, where did these latest technical materials come from?"
"There is a book called "Pharmaceutical Process Development" co-authored by Barak and Williams, which explains many new technologies and new processes. We learned a lot from that book."
"Pharmaceutical Process Development, co-authored by Barak and Williams? Is it in English? I have never heard of this book," Professor Li raised his voice, "Everyone, do you know this book?"
"The newly published English version of "Pharmaceutical Process Development"? Never heard of it." Several experts present said in unison.
A few years ago, Fang Hanmin also used this bluffing title to bluff Old Wu, the technician of the second workshop. This book is of course true, but it is a monograph on pharmaceutical technology published in the 21st century. The time traveler had read it while studying for a doctorate at Oxford University. After careful study, I found that in the 1980s, the author of the book had not yet graduated from college, and what Fang Hanmin said was completely false.
Although none of the experts on site had heard of this book, Fang Hanmin was right in his words, so Professor Li basically believed it. After all, he knew that it is common for scientific research to draw on the knowledge of predecessors or others. , even Newton said that he was able to achieve such great achievements because he stood on the shoulders of giants.
"A down-to-earth scientific research spirit, coupled with a high starting point of reference materials, is the key to achieving high-level scientific research results. You have done a good job. Cheers to your results!" Professor Li raised his glass again.
Out of curiosity, some experts originally wanted to inquire about Fang Hanmin's higher education background, but they were turned away by the title of the book he threw out. In their opinion, Fang Hanmin was so familiar with original foreign technical monographs, so his academic background was naturally profound. .
Because there was a meeting the next day, the dinner did not last long. As a junior, Fang Hanmin symbolically toasted to the experts and ended before eight o'clock.
Back at the hotel, Fang Hanmin was not in a hurry to rest. He took out the paper he was going to read out, read it carefully, and marked the key parts. For time-travelers, reading out papers is not a big deal, but Fang Hanmin always pays attention to being methodical when doing things.
...
At 8:20 a.m. the next day, the "National Pharmaceutical Technology Seminar" was held in the conference hall of Huatai Hotel. The seminar was hosted by Xu, the editor-in-chief of "Pharmaceutical Technology" magazine. Mr. Xu first delivered a brief speech and then entered the paper reading session. .
Perhaps in order to highlight Fang Hanmin's status, Editor-in-Chief Xu ranked Fang Hanmin first when arranging the order of appearances, and Professor Fei, the most famous expert attending this seminar, was the last to read out the paper he submitted. This also shows that Show enough respect for Professor Fei.
Reading out papers is only one of the ways to display scientific research results. The organizing committee selects papers that have been published to be read out at the seminar mainly because of the significance and technical level of the scientific research projects involved in the papers, and to attract the attention of the participants.
The paper read by Fang Hanmin had been published in the "Pharmaceutical Technology" magazine edited by Chief Xu more than half a year ago. Xu believed that the catalytic hydrogenation reduction technology involved in the paper was groundbreaking in the country, and it was necessary for domestic colleagues to learn more about it. This technology, so he asked Fang Hanmin to be the first to read the paper, hoping to attract the attention of his peers.
For those attendees who have read this paper in a magazine, it was a special novelty to hear the author of the paper read it in person. Participants who learned about this paper for the first time immediately asked the conference committee to purchase the paper. The organizing committee of the journal of the paper is very experienced and has been prepared for this for a long time.
According to the arrangement, the first two days of the three-day conference will consist of paper readings, reports by industry leaders and experts, and the third day will be for participants to interact with industry experts.
Entering the paper reading session, Fang Hanmin was the first to appear. Editor-in-chief Xu gave a brief introduction to Fang Hanmin. Fang Hanmin read out his third paper published in the magazine "Pharmaceutical Technology" in calm, clear and concise language. , this paper involves the application of palladium-on-carbon catalysts in hydrogenation reduction processes.
What the audience didn't expect was that the author of the paper was just a young man in his twenties! Those participants who have read this paper in the magazine "Pharmaceutical Science and Technology" think that the author of the paper is a gray-haired old scholar or a middle-aged expert full of vicissitudes; participants who know this paper for the first time , couldn’t believe that the paper was written by this young man.
Because it completely subverted the impression of ordinary people, perhaps out of curiosity, when Fang Hanmin read the paper, except for the sound from the loudspeaker, the audience was quiet.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Hanmin’s paper was read out, and he politely said “Thank you!”
The audience burst into thunderous applause, which lasted for a full minute.
When the second person to appear read the paper, Editor-in-Chief Xu called Fang Hanmin aside and said, "Chief Fang, I have a temporary request that I would like to trouble you with."
"Editor Xu, you're welcome. What can I do for you?"
"I would like to ask you to make a report on 'Pharmaceutical Technology Development Trends' tomorrow. It's a bit abrupt. I didn't have time to tell you in advance. I'm really sorry. I wonder if Section Chief Fang can use today's time to prepare?" This is the old man After Xu met Fang Hanmin, an idea suddenly came to him. He thought that Fang Hanmin, who was so young, might have some wonderful ideas. If he spoke out, it would add new content to this seminar.
"Well...," Fang Hanmin thought for a while. Editor Xu and he hit it off immediately, and they treated him warmly. If he refused, it would be a bit unreasonable, "Okay, I'll do my best."
"Thank you, Chief Fang! The report doesn't need to be too long, just ten minutes or so."
In fact, for Fang Hanmin, there is nothing new in the topic proposed by Lao Xu. The so-called "development trend of pharmaceutical technology" is almost consistent with the scientific and technological development plan of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, and the scientific and technological development plan of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory was formulated by Fang Hanmin himself. , but the plan of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is very specific. The seminar report can just explain the general direction. It is not difficult to talk in general terms.
Fang Hanmin did not delay the paper conference during the day. Although he did not carry the scientific and technological development plan of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory with him, relying on his memory, he only spent more than two hours after dinner and prepared the report before 11 o'clock in the evening. Material.
On the second day of the seminar, Editor-in-Chief Xu first invited relevant leaders in the pharmaceutical industry to give a report, which mainly covered the production, supply and marketing situation of the national western medicine industry, as well as some policy directions. Subsequently, industry experts analyzed the problems and solutions in their respective fields. When it was Fang Hanmin's turn to speak, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Seeing Fang Hanmin walking towards the speaker's seat again and hearing Editor Xu's introduction to the topic of the report, most of the participants were surprised. This young man in his twenties not only read out a high-level paper, but also made predictions on the development trend of pharmaceutical technology. Top experts in the industry may not be able to do this, which is incredible! What is his background?
Just when people were stunned, Fang Hanmin was already sitting at the speaker's seat and talking eloquently, "First of all, let me state that this is a task assigned by Editor Xu temporarily. There is no preparation. I can only talk about some superficial opinions. Please forgive me for any inappropriateness. When it comes to the development trend of pharmaceutical technology, according to my understanding, this includes two aspects, one is the development trend of new pharmaceutical products, and the other is the development trend of process technology."
In just a few words, he captured the hearts of the participants, and the audience quickly fell silent. All the experts including the participants wanted to know where Fang Hanmin would start with such a big topic.
"As far as new pharmaceutical products are concerned, I think that existing domestic products are generally older, have limited efficacy, and have relatively high side effects. For example, several anti-inflammatory drugs that are currently used in large quantities in clinical practice should be used within a few years. Eliminate them and replace them with antibiotics with higher efficacy and less toxic and side effects. Even if antibiotics are available, because of their different molecular structures and mechanisms of action, they must continue to be improved in order to adapt to the changing environment."
"As for antiviral drugs, not only are there few varieties, but they also have poor efficacy, making it difficult to meet clinical needs. There are also circulatory drugs. As living conditions continue to improve, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will become one of the major threats to people's health. First, there are very few drugs in this area, and the industry needs to pay attention to them as soon as possible. There are many examples, but due to limited time, I will not list them all here."
After a pause, Fang Hanmin continued: "As for the process technology in the pharmaceutical industry, the general trend is of course towards environmental protection, high efficiency, low consumption, energy saving and green. For example, our new catalytic hydrogenation process not only solves the problem of the old process The pollution problem has also greatly improved the yield and product qualification rate. Of course, the general development trend is based on new processes and new technologies. In this regard, bioengineering technology deserves special attention."... ....
Because the speech was a bit arbitrary after the lecture began, the content of the speech had already exceeded the planned outline. The originally scheduled 20-minute speech lasted for half an hour. Fang Hanmin looked at his watch and realized that it had timed out. He immediately stopped the car and said, "Sorry , I’ve wasted everyone’s time, I’m so long-winded, let’s end it here. Thank you everyone!”
The audience was immersed in Fang Hanmin's speech. When he stood up and left the speaker's seat, everyone gave him a very warm applause...
At dinner, several experts from last night insisted on inviting Fang Hanmin to join them at the table. Editor-in-chief Xu wanted to accompany the leaders tonight. He said hello to Professor Fei, Fang Hanmin and others and left.
"Lao Xu doesn't drink. It doesn't matter if he's here or not. Wouldn't it be better for us to express ourselves freely! Section Chief Fang, we are next to each other." Professor Li was very casual.
"Yes, for Chief Fang's wonderful speech, Professor Li must have two more drinks with Chief Fang!"
