Chapter 856 I have a little immature suggestion
The handover had just been completed when such news came from the other side, which made all the senior executives of Shennong Pharmaceutical Company present feel ashamed.

"Humph, people nowadays don't even know what a good medicine is. They just blindly worship foreign things!"

Qi Changfeng felt embarrassed and immediately said something indignantly.

Other company executives also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, our Chinese patent medicine is cheap and effective, but those people only believe in Western medicine and mistake it for waste."

"Alas, Western medicine is spreading eastward. Now Western medicine is the main focus in the media and academia. Where is the room for survival for traditional Chinese medicine?"

"We were not defeated in terms of strength, but in people's worship of foreign things. No one believes in the good things left by our ancestors. How sad!"

"Haha, it's their loss if these people don't choose our products. When they have experienced the pain of Western medicine, they will know the benefits of Chinese medicine."

"Many people actually say that we are pseudoscience. Of course we are pseudoscience. Does it mean that if we don't conform to their scientific teachings, we are bad?"

A group of veteran Chinese medicine practitioners all looked indignant when talking about the current social atmosphere.

But no matter how much Ye Feng listened, he never heard them reflect on their own problems. They kept picking on problems with patients, academia, and society.

This made him shake his head secretly.

In his opinion, these old guys may be good experts in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, but they are not good operators.

A good operator should consider how to make users understand his products and how to better promote himself.

Instead of putting all the blame on the user when you encounter setbacks.

At this time, Ma Jian, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted and said, "I think we should think about how to solve the problem instead of just arguing about who is responsible."

When Ye Feng heard this, he couldn't help but look at him twice more. It seemed that General Manager Ma was an outlier among this group of people.

However, those who are different are often excluded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately besieged by several other people.

"I don't agree with you. Only by figuring out who is responsible can we find a solution to the problem."

"We have thought of all the possible solutions, but the patient just won't buy it. What else can we do?"

"Yes, we've changed the product packaging, put up ads, lowered the price, and tried everything we could think of, but no one is buying. What else can we do?"

"This is a phenomenon caused by the bad social atmosphere now. The entire traditional Chinese medicine industry is in a downturn, and it's not just us."

"Yes, so many Chinese medicine companies have closed down in recent years, and we are the only one that is still holding on. It's already a miracle..."

Ye Feng was too lazy to listen to their argument, so he just walked aside and picked up the documents on the table to read.

These materials are some core secrets of Shennong Pharmaceutical, including the formulas of some drugs, the company's operating model, etc.

He reads things very quickly, basically reading ten lines at a glance.

After waiting for half an hour, the group of people had almost finished arguing, and he had basically understood the company's operating model.

"Everyone, I have a little immature suggestion." He put down the information and turned to look at the group of executives.

Qi Changfeng couldn't help but sneered, "Little kid, you have no right to speak without investigation. You have just taken over Shennong Pharmaceutical and don't know anything about the company. What useful suggestions can you make?"

Although the others were not as aggressive as him, they also didn't think that Ye Feng could come up with any valuable ideas.

They have thought of countless ways to save the company's declining performance, but nothing has worked. This guy hasn't even sat down yet, and he can come up with a solution?
Ye Feng smiled indifferently, "Of course, I'm new here, so I definitely don't know as much about the company as you do. But I have run a few companies before, so maybe I can give you some different insights."

Qi Changfeng sat back on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Then I'd like to hear Mr. Ye's opinion."

Although he said this, there was some disapproval in his tone, and it was obvious that he did not take this young man who was about the same age as his grandson seriously.

Others also took their seats, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Ye Feng patted the documents on the table and spoke carefully, "I just looked at the company's operating model, and it still adopts the traditional Chinese medicine consultation model. There is a doctor in each pharmacy, and when a patient comes to see a doctor, he will prescribe medicine according to the patient's symptoms..."

Before he could finish, Qi Changfeng interrupted him, "What's wrong with this model? We have been running this model for decades, and it even became the cultural name card of South Guangdong Province. When we were at our peak, you were still playing with mud at home."

Several other executives also laughed, and seemed to be taking advantage of their seniority.

Ye Feng was looked down upon by several people, but he showed no signs of being angry and continued to speak slowly.

"This model certainly has its advantages, but its disadvantages are also obvious. The biggest problem is the lack of unified standards."

"Every doctor in a pharmacy will prescribe medicine for patients based on his or her own experience."

"This creates a problem: a patient may be cured with two prescriptions at one pharmacy, but may need three or four prescriptions at another pharmacy, or may not even be cured.

Since these drug stores are all under the Shennong Pharmaceutical Group, if things continue like this, it will be a big blow to our reputation. Am I right?"

After he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Qi Changfeng and others.

Qi Changfeng immediately sneered and said, "How can you quantify something like curing illnesses and saving lives?"

"The conditions of each patient are different, so of course we have to prescribe the right medicine for the right condition, and the dosage will certainly be different."

Ye Feng smiled faintly, "But we are a pharmaceutical company after all, not a hospital. I think we need to separate medicine from treatment. Those who treat diseases should only treat diseases, and those who make medicine should only make medicine. If the two are mixed together, it will be impossible to form a scale, let alone compete with others."

After he finished speaking, the room immediately fell silent. Even Qi Changfeng, who loved to interrupt, did not refute immediately.

It obviously touched everyone's heart.

The Shennong Pharmaceutical executives present did not expect that this young man could actually hit the nail on the head, which made them look at him with admiration.

But it would be a bit difficult for them to slap themselves in the face and admit that they had just looked down on others.

General Manager Ma Jian then asked, "Mr. Ye, what are your specific plans?"

Ye Feng looked at the man for a few more times, "My plan is to build Shennong Pharmaceutical Company into a super-large group with a complete industrial chain of traditional Chinese medicine. This includes the cultivation, planting, and processing of traditional Chinese medicines, as well as the research and development of medicines, sales networks, traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, etc...."
