"Time-honored brands" are gold mines, not gold mountains
Continuously seek innovation and change, and will launch new drugs to treat immune diseases in the second half of the year
A company with such abundant resources "Chen Li Ji" is indeed impressive. But Li Guoju clearly realizes that "time-honored brands" are gold mines rather than gold mountains. The latter are everywhere, but it still requires today's efforts to tap the former.
During the "Cultural Revolution", the brand "Chenliji" was once hidden, and the factory name was changed to the nondescript "Guangzhou No. 2 Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory". In the 1980s, the first thing the then head of the family did when he took office was to restore "Chen Liji", a time-honored brand that had been discontinued for more than 10 years.
The second step is a historic relocation. In the late 1990s, we moved out of the bustling market on Beijing Road, our "old place" where we had lived for nearly 400 years, and moved into the new factory area currently located on the outskirts of the city. The 400-year-old foundation of the "ancestors" was thus far away. How much pressure did this face at that time? However, the new head of the family defied all objections and moved out smoothly. Facts have proved that this step later became an inflection point for the renewal of "time-honored brands".
“There are two main things we have to do now: one old and one new.” Li Guoju said that the “old thing” is to sort out the culture of traditional Chinese medicine and establish a museum of traditional Chinese medicine. He hopes that this kind of sorting will promote the brand and even the entire The culture of traditional Chinese medicine; the "new thing" is to increase scientific research and realize the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. "No matter new things or old things, they are all major events for the future development of 'time-honored brands'."
In fact, today’s modernization of traditional Chinese medicine “Chen Li Ji” is not ambiguous. "Shujinjianyao Pills", a therapeutic drug for lumbar spondylosis that has been successfully marketed across the country, is highly praised by patients. The immune disease treatment drug "Fulitong", which will be officially launched in the second half of this year, is such a breakthrough modern traditional Chinese medicine product. At present, Western medicine is ineffective in treating immune diseases such as rheumatoid and lupus erythematosus, and the abuse of hormones often leads to human body deformation. "Chen Liji" applied for this innovative project in the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" 10 years ago. Li Guoju clearly remembers that only 5 medical projects were selected for the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" that year, and after 10 years, only "Fuli Tong" was successfully won and was designated by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine as one of the first batch of Chinese medicines to go international. "Seed products" for the mainstream market.
