Li Chuyuan, deputy to the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress | the two sessions: Fashion Chinese medicine should provide the world with a "Chinese plan" to improve people's health.

21st Century Business Herald reporter Wu Wenxi Guangzhou report In recent years, the development of traditional Chinese medicine has gradually received attention, especially in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, traditional Chinese medicine has played an important role. In 2021, in the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the development of traditional Chinese medicine launched successively, all localities have clearly defined the overall goal of promoting the high-quality development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.

As an important business card of the mainland's external dissemination, Chinese medicine is one of the representative "stories" with Chinese characteristics, embodying Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions. As a typical representative of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group has 12 chinese time-honored brands in traditional Chinese medicine, of which 10 have a history of more than 100 years, and have 9 national and provincial intangible cultural heritages.

Under the Healthy China Strategy, how should the Chinese medicine industry achieve inheritance and innovation and create well-being for people's health? How can Chinese medicine enterprises take on the responsibility of leading Chinese medicine products to the world? And social responsibility? During the two sessions of Guangdong Province, Li Chuyuan, deputy to the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress and chairman of the Board of Directors of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, was interviewed by a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald.

He said that in recent years, the central government has clearly defined the spirit of "inheriting, developing and making good use" of traditional Chinese medicine, which is the best time to develop the traditional Chinese medicine industry. On the one hand, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group should do a good job in products, improve quality, and promote the high-quality development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry; on the other hand, it should assume social responsibility, provide everyone with affordable drugs, and contribute to the "China Plan" to improve people's health for the world.

Promote the Chinese medicine industry to the world

21st Century: What key areas will you focus on at this year's Guangdong Provincial Two Sessions?

Li Chuyuan: Guangdong proposed at the provincial traditional Chinese medicine conference to accelerate the construction of a strong province of traditional Chinese medicine. As the world's first Fortune 500 enterprise with Traditional Chinese Medicine as its main industry, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group should shoulder the heavy trust entrusted by the province to build a strong province of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and my proposal mainly revolves around the revitalization of Traditional Chinese Medicine, that is, how to further enhance the market share of Traditional Chinese medicine and promote the modernization, industrialization and internationalization of Traditional Chinese medicine.

I propose to take fashion, science and technology and culture as the starting point to further promote the development of the Chinese medicine industry. For the further development of traditional Chinese medicine, the consumer population is very important. Football is very fashionable, it is the world's largest sports project, and we hope to drive the influence of Chinese medicine through the influence of football. In 2022, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group will once again deeply integrate football and Chinese medicine, promote Chinese medicine to the world, and also promote the development of football, and make further contributions to the construction of Guangzhou as a famous sports city.

As early as 1984, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group sponsored the then "Baiyun Team", and Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical Factory became the first enterprise in China to sponsor football. Later, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group also took a controlling stake in the Guangzhou team and renamed it "Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Team" in 2006-2009. Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group hopes to combine fashion Chinese medicine with football, which I believe can provide the world with a "Chinese solution" to improve people's health.

In addition, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group has also invested in the construction of Shennong Caotang Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum, Chen Liji Museum, Caizhilin Chinese Medicine Museum in cultural aspects, and will also build 56 Wang Laoji Museums around the world, which are currently being built in New York, Tokyo and other places, like the Wang Laoji Museum in New York. We hope that through the fashion, technology and cultural strategy of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, we will undertake the heavy responsibility of revitalizing The traditional Chinese medicine industry in Guangdong and realizing a strong province of traditional Chinese medicine.

"21st Century": The high-quality development of state-owned enterprises has always been highly valued, as a representative of state-owned enterprises, what suggestions do you have for the innovation and realization of high-quality development of state-owned enterprises?

Li Chuyuan: On December 30 last year, Guangdong held a conference on the high-quality development of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises in the province, which was very inspiring, affirmed the state-owned enterprises in the province, and pointed out the direction for the development of state-owned enterprises in Guangdong. Next, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group will implement the spirit of this conference, adhere to the leadership of party building, and explore the road of high-quality development.

Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group is a "double hundred" A-class enterprise evaluated by the State Council and is at the forefront of the country in terms of reform and innovation. I believe that the most important thing is to adhere to the party building to lead the development, the formation of the guangzhou pharmaceutical group party building brand, in the future guangzhou pharmaceutical group will continue to put the party building leadership in the first place. Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group also adheres to continuous innovation, in order to become the world's leading first-class pharmaceutical enterprises, the level of scientific and technological innovation needs to be further improved, especially in the use of the Guangzhou laboratory platform, to strengthen cooperation, in order to promote the all-round improvement and innovation of scientific and technological level by means of resource integration.

On the one hand, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group will increase scientific and technological investment in the fields of fashion Traditional Chinese medicine, chemical imitation drugs and biomedicine, introduce and train talent teams, and achieve innovation at a high level; on the other hand, it will also promote the innovation of business models and the innovation of management systems and mechanisms.

"21st Century": What innovative measures has Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group taken to build a domestic and international dual-cycle and efficient circulation system and promote cooperation and exchanges between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao?

Li Chuyuan: Located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, we have the advantage of time and place, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group as early as 2020 will have its international headquarters in Macao, after two years of hard work, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group's first proprietary Chinese medicine GMP factory in Macao was officially completed and put into operation, which is also the first standard GMP factory in Macao history, achieving a breakthrough of zero standardized factory of Traditional Chinese medicine in Macao. This is a positive measure for Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group to actively implement the cooperation between Guangdong and Macao and promote the moderate diversification of Macao's industries, and also to strengthen Guangdong-Macao cooperation in accordance with the requirements of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government and the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

Subsequently, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group established the industrial park of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group in Hengqin Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone, and through the linkage between Macao and Hengqin, the development of "one enterprise, two places, one product and two sales, one country, two systems" was realized. According to this line of thinking, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group has landed more than ten projects in Macao and Hengqin, including the establishment of trading companies and international headquarters, and cooperation with Macao universities, taking advantage of Macao's special status to strengthen cooperation with Portuguese-speaking countries and countries along the "Belt and Road", on the one hand, to provide employment for Macao and promote the diversified development of Macao's economy and industry; on the other hand, to take advantage of the policy advantages of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and hengqin Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone, to deepen Guangdong-Macao cooperation, let Chinese medicine go out, and also let international resources be introduced.

In the next step, I propose to further establish an interactive mechanism for the registration and review of drugs in Guangdong and Macao, realize the synchronous sales of products in Guangdong and Macao, open up the channels for registration, production and sales, and form an advantageous industrial cluster with complementary advantages and mutual benefit. At the same time, it is also necessary to accelerate the mutual recognition and exchange of medical and health personnel's professional qualifications in the two places, and promote the cooperation and exchange of outstanding talents in the two places. These are very conducive to accelerating the international development of the Chinese medicine industry and promoting agglomeration innovation and internal and external circulation.

Create a "state-owned enterprise sample" for practicing social responsibility

Li Chuyuan: As a state-owned enterprise, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group has been at the forefront of national enterprises in poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. On February 25, 2021, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council awarded Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group the title of "National Advanced Collective for Poverty Alleviation".

Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group adopts the practice of "blood transfusion" and "hematopoiesis", and there are rural revitalization projects of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group in more than a dozen provinces and cities such as Guizhou and Meizhou, Guangdong, especially in terms of east-west cooperation, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group has successfully developed the "Lemon Ji" series of products using Wang Laoji's brand, technology and channels. In 2019, the sales of the "Lime Ji" series of products were 100 million yuan, the sales of 500 million yuan in 2020, and the breakthrough of 1 billion yuan in 2021, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group will build the "Lime Ji" into the "first share" of rural revitalization.

Guangdong planted lychees have more than 4 million mu, accounting for more than 50% of the country's output, and China's lychee production accounts for more than 2/3 of the world, guangdong's lychee industry well, can also drive the development of China's lychee industry. On January 5 this year, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group launched a new product "Li Xiaoji" at the first Winter Lychee Industry Conference, and took the opportunity of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing to tell the story of Traditional Chinese medicine and lychee, so that Lychee, a Lingnan fruit, has changed from a regional product to a global consumption, from seasonal production to a year-round sales. Nowadays, after secondary development and deep processing, lychee has become a product that can be consumed all year round, promoting lychee to the world, and will also become a good grasp for rural revitalization in Guangdong.

Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group hopes to promote herbal tea and agricultural products from China to the world and make greater contributions to rural revitalization by creating the leading brand driving effect of Wang Laoji, Li Xiaoji and Li Xiaoji".

In 2004, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group opened a free recycling mechanism for expired drugs in the family, spending nearly tens of millions of yuan every year to replace expired drugs at home for free for the people.
