Around 3 million people are bitten by snakes worldwide each year, and on average more than 200 people die every day from snake venom.
In China, there was a snake king in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, his name was Ji Desheng.
His name is not only very famous in China, but even in other oriental countries such as India, Thailand, Japan, etc., Ji Desheng still enjoys a high reputation. Even former U.S. President Bill Clinton admired the magic of The Snake and the Fight Against Snakes.
This is because ji desheng developed the "Ji Desheng snake medicine" to combat snake venom, because the success rate of Ji Desheng snake medicine treatment is as high as 100%.
In 1956, under the care and policy inspiration of the party, Ji Desheng, after careful consideration, resolutely and resolutely dedicated the secret recipe of snake medicine from the unpublished to the country.
The relevant state departments immediately made a decision: from the date of the donation, its secret recipe and operation process were included in the national top-secret level scientific and technological projects, and nantong pharmaceutical factory was designated to produce exclusively, named "Ji Desheng Snake Tablets".
Document No. 431 of the 1984 Sinopharm Review once again reiterated: "The confidentiality of the prescription and process is top secret, and no visits, no introductions, and no formulations are provided." ”
However, in 1987, there was a leak of the secret recipe of Ji Desheng Snake Medicine. The end result? How did the snake king Ji Desheng rise?
Ji Desheng, born in the late Qing Dynasty, in 1901, was born not in his own home, but in a ruined temple in Suqian, Jiangsu Province.
Since childhood, he has been a beggar, begging with his father to survive, the only survival skill of father and son is the ancestral snake poison prescription, and by Ji Desheng's place, the snake poison prescription is already the sixth generation.
Ji Desheng's ancestors were also hanzi who went south and north for generations, specializing in the study of poisonous snakes, whether we have seen them or not heard of them, the ancestors basically studied these poisonous snakes.
One day, Ji Desheng's father Ji Mingyang took his son Ji Desheng begging to come to the Guandi Temple in Chahe Town, and found a python laying eggs, and before this python hurt people, the fathers followed all the way to here, at this time the python because it is in the spawning period, so it looks particularly fierce, in the face of the sudden intrusion of uninvited guests, the python pounced on Ji Mingyang, he hurriedly grabbed the neck of the python, but the python was not so easy to deal with.
The python slammed directly around Ji Mingyang's chest and left arm, seeing that Ji Mingyang was in the ascendant, saying that it was too late and fast, Ji Desheng held the scythe in his hand, and the python was in a different place.
However, Ji Mingyang's ribs were broken, and he was so weak that he could not speak, but he still trembled and told his son Ji Desheng that he must keep the secret recipe of his ancestors and save people with his true ability.
In the end, Ji Mingyang still died, which may be the saying: the crock pot is not broken from the well, and most of the snake players die from the snake, and Ji Mingyang finally gave his life to the snake.
After burying his father, Ji Desheng shouldered this ancestral family business.
After that, Ji Desheng was alone. He remembered his father's last words day and night, determined to guard and develop ancestral secret recipes with his flesh and blood.
The secret recipe of snake medicine, which has condensed the painstaking efforts of generations of people, has been passed down by word of mouth since its birth, and in order to prevent it from being leaked by people with hearts, it has never been recorded in any written form.
From then on, a cypress box and two baskets of poisonous snakes were all Ji Desheng's belongings.
For decades, he used to coil a poisonous snake through villages or market docks.
Although Ji Desheng is not proud, all patients who have taken Ji's snake medicine have praised its effect.
When Ji Desheng practiced medicine in Zhejiang, Jiangsu Province, he could not read any medical books because he could not read large characters, but it did not affect his passion for the study of snake medicine.
Based on the toxicity of the local five-step snake and the ground snake, he developed the corresponding antidote by personally testing the poison.
Later, successively tried poison with his body, let different poisonous snakes bite himself, and then used the medicine made by the ancestral secret recipe to detoxify, successively researched the antidote to treat cobras, sea snakes, silver ring snakes and other snake venoms, and sometimes in order to show the efficacy of the drug to patients, Ji Desheng performed the show of taking the antidote after being bitten by the poison on the street to recover as before.
After so many times, Ji Desheng won the recognition and trust of the people.
Ji Desheng refined the prescription over time, so that the prescription could achieve the best curative effect.
In the process of practicing medicine, Ji Desheng found that his ancestral prescription can only be used with rice wine, and the important raw materials used are relatively single, if you continue to refine and add a variety of auxiliary herbs, let patients use the way of external compresses, maybe the effect will be more immediate.
It is said that every time Ji Desheng goes to an area, he will walk in a circle, and after a few glances, he can judge how many snakes there are in this place and what kind of snakes they are.
In these decades, Ji Desheng almost did not have a fixed residence, home all over the world, and was at ease with the encounter.
In order to understand the toxicity and make prescriptions, Ji Desheng often did experiments himself, and his body had long become a poisonous vessel.
It is also this kind of continuous experimentation that Ji Desheng finally succeeded.
Ji Desheng also engraved a seasonal character on each medicine cake, which is his family's seal, and can also let the people who buy medicine distinguish which one is genuine. As Ji Desheng's reputation in the folk has greatly increased, his snake medicine fame has also become higher and higher, and gradually many people have come to visit.
In 1942, Ji Desheng often set up a stall outside Xumen in Suzhou to sell snake medicine, and a Japanese medicinal material merchant Yamamoto heard about him, invited him to a feast, and gave him cigarette money, hoping that Ji Desheng would say the secret recipe.
Ji Desheng went south and north, and was very clear about the crimes of the Japanese. For so many years, he suffered discrimination like Hanako, but in the face of money, Ji Desheng still insisted on his principles, and he and the Japanese said: "According to the rules of our family, we must pick an auspicious day to worship the teacher." The Japanese believed it and asked Ji Desheng to go back, and Ji Desheng escaped from Suzhou with his snake cage that night.
In 1948, Ji Desheng returned to Nantong, still playing snakes and selling medicine in the old place. At this time, Ji Desheng was already famous, and many outsiders would rush to Nantong to find him to treat snake wounds, but Ji Desheng still did not charge medical fees for the poor, and even poured medicine money, and after a few years, Ji Desheng still lived in the broken temple.
Later, Nantong Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was established, and the president Zhu Liangchun visited Ji Desheng after hearing about ji Desheng and watched him cure a patient who was bitten by a pit viper.
Zhu Liangchun invited Ji Desheng to the Chinese Medicine Hospital, and this snake medicine flower child, who could not read a single character, became a doctor in the Chinese medicine hospital. Zhu Liangchun and Ji Desheng have a good relationship, the two often drink and chat, Ji Desheng is not afraid to talk to Zhu Liangchun about his snake medicine formula, under the encouragement of Zhu Liangchun, he handed over the complete snake medicine formula to the state.
In October 1959, it was the tenth anniversary of the National Day.
One day, the party and state leaders set up a banquet in the newly inaugurated Great Hall of the People to entertain the representatives of various heroic models attending the National Gathering of Heroes.
Thousands of heroes from all fronts frequently raised a toast to the party and state leaders.
At a table not far from the rostrum, sat a thick-eyebrowed man with a Northern Jiangsu accent, unrestrained, constantly drinking with the delegates on the left and right.
A person who was called "Hanako" in the old society could sit in the Great Hall of the People and the state leaders today to celebrate a state banquet, which he never dreamed of.
When he had drunk to the fullest, the middle-aged man unexpectedly took out a "fiery red refining" poisonous snake from his pocket, and he skillfully wrapped the snake around his arm, supported the snake's head with his fingers, and played with the snake while drinking.
He was so happy that he said to the delegates at the table: He will swallow the snake's head alive and drink wine, and put the snake's head in his mouth as he speaks. Frightened the representative of the neighboring seat, he was stunned.
At this time, the beloved Premier Zhou came to the table to toast everyone, and the man with thick eyebrows was embarrassed and hurriedly put the snake in his pocket, then grinned and greeted the premier in the same rural voice as the premier.
Premier Zhou recognized him at a glance, looked at his squirming pockets, smiled, and after touching a cup with him, he attached it to his ear and said: "You have merit, the people will not forget you, you must continue to study and continue to move forward!" ”
The man with the thick eyebrows blushed and said with embarrassment, "Please rest assured Prime Minister, I remember." ”
The Prime Minister smiled and nodded, then shook his hand vigorously.
Ji Desheng kept the prime minister's teachings in mind and constantly explored the use and market of snake medicine.
In 1958 alone, the drug was exported to 13 countries in Asia, Africa and Europe, becoming the most effective drug for the treatment of snake venom and poisonous insect bites in the world that year. To this day, Ji Desheng Snake Medicine has also been listed by the People's Liberation Army as a special needs medicine for the army, and it appears in the peacekeeping forces and medicine packages related to special service services on the mainland.
Ji Desheng worked in Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory for 24 years, and in 1981, Ji Desheng, the king of snake medicine, died at the age of 83.
In 1987, six years after Ji Desheng's death, The secret recipe for Ji Desheng's snake medicine was leaked.
One day in September 1987, Xu Zhong, the director of Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory, rode to the factory on time as usual, and when he was standing in the office door, the phone in the house rang.
It turned out to be a phone call from a salesman who ran to Henan, and only listened to an anxious voice from the other end of the phone: "I found that the outer packaging box of snake medicine produced by a pharmaceutical factory in Hubei Province sold in the pharmacy here was printed with the words "Ji Deshengfang" on it..."
Hearing that there was such a thing, Director Xu was stunned, and he said loudly into the phone: "After further understanding, hurry back and report." ”
Subsequently, he urgently notified the middle-level cadres of the factory to immediately go to the conference room to hold an emergency meeting.
When Director Xu told the story of the paper box of the snake medicine produced by a pharmaceutical factory in Hubei Province with the words 'Ji Deshengfang' printed on it, the conference room suddenly exploded.
Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory since 1957 the state designated exclusive production of Ji Desheng snake medicine, more than 30 years has never found a manufacturer imposter production, nor have anyone dared to produce this drug, because as we all know, this is a kind of medicine to get rid of the disease, from the dead to the divine medicine.
Director Xu said with a very grim look: "There are only two possibilities for things to happen: one is that others are fraudulently using them; The other is the leak, which means that the top secret prescription of the national character 431 has been leaked. ”
Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory not only produced Ji Desheng Snake Tablets with its perfect equipment and technology, but also inherited the quality of Ji Desheng's regard for the people's lives as their destiny and envy and hatred as hatred.
In order to stop this fraudulent use and maintain the reputation of Ji Desheng Snake Tablets, Xu Zhong authorized the two lawyers to immediately begin to study the contents of the judicial proposal.
Who knew that more than a year had passed, and the judicial proposal sent to Wuhan had disappeared as soon as it was gone.
However, the so-called snake pills in the market of "Ji De Sheng Fang" have increased unabated, and the factory has continuously received letters from patients to ask about the quality of snake pills.
Human lives are at stake, and we must not sit idly by.
Finally, after more than two years of ink and ink exchanges, on June 4, 1992, the two families finally sat face to face at the mediation table of the Arbitration Tribunal of the State Trademark Review and Adjudication Board.
The two sides are talking about each other, and the argument between you and me is extremely fierce.
Lawyer Ding Xia, the perennial legal counsel of Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory, laid out the facts and made an irrefutable reply based on the basis.
This made the representative of a pharmaceutical factory in Hubei Province finally impatient, and the representative of the other party stood up excitedly and said loudly: "To tell you the truth, my factory also has a Ji Desheng snake prescription." ”
After saying this, he took out a stack of supporting materials from his purse and threw them heavily on the table.
The arbitrators are clearly ill-prepared, and if it is true as they say, that is to say, the top secret prescription of Guo Zi 431 has been seriously leaked.
At this time, the dispute is beyond the scope of the general trademark dispute, how can they wait and ignore it.
What's going on here?
One day in the early 1970s, three people came down the river from Hubei to Nantong, disembarked and went straight to the production command group of the Nantong Revolutionary Committee.
The rebels who held the power of production received the guests from the brother provinces very warmly, and the people who came took out a memorandum from the rebel headquarters of the Health Department of the Jiangsu Provincial Revolutionary Committee, which had been obtained by the rebels, and asked the Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory to provide great assistance in providing information on the production of snake pills, and claimed that the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Health had agreed to their production of snake tablets in order to implement the supreme instructions of "preparing for war, preparing for famine, and serving the people."
Sure enough, the rebels who held the power of production did not inquire, and with a large stroke of the pen, they approved it to the Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory "Please give great assistance."
That was all, a pharmaceutical factory in Hubei Province claimed to have obtained a "top secret" prescription and began producing snake medicine.
The other party has always claimed that they have a secret recipe, and now the question is, if they really have a secret recipe in their hands, what should they do?
With the preliminary arbitration results and this question in mind, the lawyer in Beijing and director Zhang of the pharmaceutical factory called the director of Xu factory late at night, who knew that the director was not in a hurry at all, but told them a story.
In the early 1940s, one morning in the depths of winter, under the Nantong Fanggong Bridge, hundreds of people gathered around a large circle watching Ji Desheng play snakes and sell medicine.
Ji Desheng often set up a stall here, and the people in the town are very familiar with him, knowing that he not only has the skill of playing with snakes and catching snakes, but also the snake medicine he sells is very clever, and the medicine is good to get rid of the disease, and the price is fair.
However, what is surprising is that it is not only Ji Desheng who sells medicine in the circle today, but also a northerner.
It turned out that Ji Desheng came here as usual in the morning, but he did not expect that the place where he set up the stall was occupied by another person who sold snake medicine.
Ji Desheng, who is bold and courageous, and who is flesh and blood, rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Fake really can't be fake, really can't be fake, just talk about farts!" There is a skill, let's try it, the cat does not eat crab to put out to see. ”
The man did not want to show weakness and said, "You say how to compare, I am accompanied by it." ”
When Ji Desheng heard this, he took off his shirt, revealing his copper-colored chest, slapped his hand with a crack, and sharply took out a poisonous snake from the basket and said to the man: "Each person picks a snake that he thinks is the most poisonous, bites each other, and then each of them applies self-made medicine to treat it. ”
Ji Desheng's words immediately aroused the interest of onlookers, and everyone shouted in unison.
The northern Man did not expect the other party to have this hand, he knew that he had met a master today, and his face was suddenly pale and dumb, and he hurriedly packed up and left.
Director Xu's intention is self-evident, that is, it is really fake, who is really who has confidence!
Since a pharmaceutical factory in Hubei Province claims to be in possession of Ji Desheng's secret formula, we propose that the two sides check the prescription. ”
Immediately afterwards, he made specific requests:
(1) In order to ensure that the top secret prescription of Guo Zi No. 431 is not leaked, the two sides will submit a copy of the prescription to the provincial health departments, which will be responsible for checking, submitting an appraisal opinion, and then sending it to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in Beijing.
(2) The time of sending the party is seven or eight months, the location is Nanjing, and who misses and who loses.
(3) If the other party has indeed mastered the top secret prescription of Guo zi No. 431, our factory unconditionally obeys the ruling of the State Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. ”
Director Zhang's speech caused a sensation in the audience, and after a moment of silence, it was followed by the sound of twittering.
Of course, the most touched is the representative of a pharmaceutical factory in Hubei Province, they did not expect that the Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory at a critical moment, put forward this plan that makes them have no way to retreat, did not feel a panic in their hearts, promised not to agree to actually can not help themselves, after a short consultation, they finally nodded their heads in agreement, but the attitude is obviously a little reluctant.
In the blink of an eye, Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory strictly abided by the agreement reached in Beijing and conscientiously fulfilled its obligations.
However, a pharmaceutical factory in Hubei Province did not see any movement until the end of September, when they actually sent a comrade to the Nantong Pharmaceutical Factory to check the prescription, which obviously violated the requirements of the evaluation committee and was naturally rejected.
A person from a pharmaceutical factory in Hubei Province had to go back in embarrassment, and there has been no news since, and the reasons need not be repeated.
Finally, the five-year-long trademark dispute was brought to a successful end.
If the old Mr. Ji Desheng's undead were to learn of it, they would surely smile under the Nine Springs, and the law would protect his reputation and dignity.
