Chapter 609 Promotion of Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture in Indonesia
Ban Hongchun secretly cursed Sukarno for being careless and wanting to poach the country.
The car drove into the embassy.
After a few polite words, Zhang Yan took his four apprentices back to the dormitory to rest.
In fact, he wasn't tired, but he didn't go back to the dormitory and didn't know where he was going.
I wanted to go shopping, but was reminded that for their safety, it was best not to go shopping.
Forget it, let’s go back to the room and take a shower!
The climate here in Indonesia is really terrible. When I come back from a trip, my whole body is sticky and I can't stand it without taking a shower.
Unlike in Beijing, even if you don't take a shower for three to five days, you won't feel sticky at all.
Ban Hongchun returned to his office and immediately summoned the counselors from the embassy to his office to discuss countermeasures.
Counselors belong to the middle and senior leaders of the embassy, and are officials responsible for specific affairs under the ambassador.
Also called to the office was Director Chen.
Ban Hongchun did not say any clichés, but directly explained the matter, "This is what happened. Let's share our opinions and see how to deal with it.
Although this matter is a very small matter, we must also prevent the Indonesian side from taking advantage of the situation."
"Ambassador, if you can exchange a doctor for a good diplomatic environment..."
"stop!
First of all, let me correct you. Comrade Zhang Yan is not an ordinary doctor. He is the president of the Metallurgical General Hospital under the Ministry of Metallurgy. He is also the vice president of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is the default candidate for the next president.
Comrade Zhang Yan himself does not agree with immigrating to Indonesia.
In addition, we have no right to ask Comrade Zhang Yan to immigrate to Indonesia and serve as a medical consultant to Sukarno.
So, don't mention this!" Ban Hongchun directly interrupted the commercial counselor who was speaking and emphasized solemnly.
Director Chen raised his hand as a sign to speak. After receiving permission, he stood up and said to the counselors: "Dear leaders, you may not know much about Dean Zhang. Let me introduce him to you.
Dean Zhang is not an ordinary doctor. In addition to the duties mentioned above by the ambassador, Zhang Yan is also a very powerful doctor.
A doctor who can cure cancer, everyone should understand what this means?
It shouldn’t be too much to say that they are our country’s national treasure-level medical talents, right?”
The words of Ban Hongchun and Director Chen made everyone think deeply.
At the same time, I also understand that the simplest method will not work.
In everyone's opinion, this is the simplest solution for Zhang Yan to immigrate to Indonesia and serve as Sukarno's medical consultant.
Maybe, you can even take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.
This is a win-win situation.
As for Zhang Yan, necessary sacrifices are inevitable for the sake of national interests.
However, as soon as their idea was put forward, Ban Hongchun rejected it.
"Then we can only resort to tricks. If Sukarno proposes it, we will reject it directly.
If Sukarno threatens us with conditions, we will respond according to the situation.
After all, in our diplomacy with Indonesia, not only do we need Indonesia, but Indonesia also needs our country’s supplies!” In the end, the political counselor came up with a solution that was not a solution.
"Okay! That can only be like this. You know what you are doing. If the Indonesian side makes a request about Comrade Zhang Yan through you, you must deal with it carefully.
Those who can resolutely refuse must resolutely refuse." Ban Hongchun concluded.
"clear!"
"Also, there is one more thing!
On the way here, Comrade Zhang Yan told me something.
Treating Sukarno for kidney stones this time was an opportunity for us.
If we take advantage of this opportunity to sell our country's proprietary Chinese medicines to Indonesia!" Ban Hongchun said another thing.
"Take advantage of the opportunity of treating Sukarno to sell our country's proprietary Chinese medicines to Indonesia?" The Commercial Counselor and Cultural Counselor's eyes lit up.
“I think we should not only sell Chinese patent medicines to Indonesia, but also promote Chinese medicine culture to Indonesia!
There are many Chinese compatriots in Indonesia, and the acceptance of traditional Chinese medicine here is still very high.
In Chinese residential areas, there are traditional Chinese medicine clinics." Cultural Counselor Wu Yanhua said.
"Old Wu is right. Promoting Chinese medicine culture will be beneficial to our work in Indonesia." Ban Hongchun smiled and nodded.
"Ambassador, I think we can use Comrade Zhang Yan's time in Indonesia to carry out a free Chinese medicine clinic." With Ban Hongchun's approval, Wu Yanhua then spoke.
"I think it's okay. Director Chen, go and communicate with Comrade Zhang Yan!" Ban Hongchun nodded and agreed to Wu Yanhua's suggestion.
"Ambassador, leaders, on the way here, I mentioned to Dean Zhang that in addition to treating Sukarno, I also treated Chinese compatriots in Indonesia.
Dean Zhang readily expressed that he could cooperate with our work." Director Chen quickly reported the report.
"very good!
Xiao Chen has done a very solid job!
However, you still need to communicate with Comrade Zhang Yan again!" Ban Hongchun praised.
Although Director Chen is not Ban Hongchun's direct subordinate, he is in the Foreign Affairs Department. Who knows that day, Director Chen will come under Ban Hongchun's command.
"Okay, Ambassador, I'll go find Dean Zhang in a moment." Director Chen agreed excitedly.
"As for the promotion of Chinese patent medicines in Indonesia, your Ministry of Commerce will come up with a plan." Ban Hongchun looked at Commercial Counselor Wei Faquan and said.
"Yes!" Wei Faquan agreed.
·········
After the meeting ended, Director Chen found Zhang Yan and told him what had just happened at the meeting.
“This is also a good thing for the development of traditional Chinese medicine!
I can ask Zhao Shengli and four of them to cooperate with the embassy in carrying out free medical activities.
If necessary, I can also participate in the free clinic!" Zhang Yan readily agreed.
If we don't take it into consideration, in a few years, unrest will break out in Indonesia and it will become a hell for everyone.
Zhang Yan really wants to take this opportunity to promote the legalization of traditional Chinese medicine, build a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Indonesia, and open a metallurgical Indonesian branch.
Not in Indonesia, we can only wait and see when we have the opportunity to open traditional Chinese medicine hospitals abroad.
This is definitely not Zhang Yan's lofty ambition. He went abroad to mess around before he could finish it at home.
In fact, this is called a peripheral breakthrough.
What the Chinese pay attention to is that foreign monks can chant sutras.
After traditional Chinese medicine has gained a reputation abroad, it will be more conducive to the development of domestic traditional Chinese medicine.
"Thank you, Dean Zhang, for supporting our work!
Regarding President Sukarno's request for you to serve as his health advisor, Ambassador Ban has made it clear that he will firmly refuse.
We will definitely not agree to Sukarno’s unreasonable demands.”
Zhang Yan understood that Director Chen told him these words to reassure him.
Zhang Yan is really not worried about this.
Chapter completed!
