Text Chapter 742 Killer-level female driver
"Have you ever heard of dallapillin?" Xiao Peng asked.
Emilia shook her head, "All I know is aspirin." β
Xiao Peng explained: "Dalapirin is a drug that specializes in the treatment of parasitic infections, targeting patients with immune system deficiencies such as AIDS, malaria, cancer, and pregnancy syndrome. It has been recognized as the world's top drug by the World Health Organization. β
"The formula for this drug is in the hands of a man in your country named Martin Sshcraley, who was a hedge fund manager who later bought the formula for 55 million dollars and is the only manufacturer of this type of drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the Stars and Stripes. Do you know how expensive this medicine is? $750 a pill! Do you know that before Martin Shkreley bought the formula, it cost $13.5 a piece? And Martin thinks that the price is still low, and the price will continue to rise. β
Emilia was dumbfounded: "Is there such a bad person, can no one clean him up?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "This is the huge profit of the pharmaceutical industry, who can clean him up? According to the statement here, everything he does is legal, unlike our Huaxia where there is a price bureau to monitor, and according to the anti-monopoly law, he cannot be governed." Whoever makes you 'free', if you like to buy it or not, he will sell it so expensive!"
Emilia stopped talking after hearing this, and Xiao Peng smiled: "Of course, it's not that no one has picked him up, a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old Chinese high school students who love chemistry in Sydney Grammar School High School in Australia secretly formed a research group against Martin Shkreli, just to crack dallapillin." As a result, after a year of trial and error, they succeeded in synthesizing 3.7 grams of very pure dalapilin, which cost less than $20, and this weight of dalaspirin requires $110,000 on the market. After applying for a patent, this group of children generously published the formula and experimental methods on the Internet for free. β
Emilia was also overjoyed when she heard this: "Martin Sshcraley's good days are over?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Early, first of all, how many billion dollars has Martin already earned? Second, I don't know how long it will take for other pharmaceutical companies to invest in the production of this drug." So, Martin Sshcraley can still be his super billionaire in peace. And what about the price of artemisinin, which is also the world's top medicine? Only a few cents a piece! And all this, just because artemisinin is a plant extraction, has been resisted by the world's major pharmaceutical companies! It is said that it is not scientific! Such a good drug can only be found in China, and it is impossible to go abroad! And what about the curative effect of this drug? Since 2000, at least 1.5 million people in sub-Saharan Africa have saved their lives because of this medicine! If you compare a few cents a piece with a few hundred dollars a piece, you can see that this is a huge profit in the pharmaceutical industry!
"The world's top 10 pharmaceutical groups, each of which is a big conglomerate that rivals the riches of the country, why do so many new drugs continue to appear all day long? Do you really think that this is to improve the efficacy of medicine and benefit the public? No, you are too naΓ―ve, according to the statistics of the World Health Organization, from the emergence of Western medicine to the present, a total of more than 10,000 kinds of Western drugs have been produced, but now there are less than 1,000 kinds of Western drugs used in clinical practice, and the remaining 9,000 kinds of Western drugs have been withdrawn from the stage of history, and the number of such eliminated Western drugs is still increasing. Why is it so obsolete? It's because Western medicine has very serious side effects. The emergence of new drugs is to patch the old drugs while making huge profits, just like you need to spend money to upgrade the Indos operating system. In the Stars and Stripes alone, 120,000 people die every year because of taking Western medicine, how many people will die in the world? Moreover, this high-quality and inexpensive Chinese medicine has too great an impact on the high-priced Western medicine, so we must strictly resist it, otherwise how can we collect huge profits? Anyway, as long as you pay for the navy, there are countless people to work for them. And those pharmaceutical groups lack everything, that is, they are not short of money. So it became the situation we have today, which is called the power of capital. β
Emilia shrugged her shoulders: "I only know that I need to take medicine when I am sick, but I really didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in this pharmaceutical industry." β
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "This is not called the pharmaceutical industry, it can only be said that this is business, and everything is just commercial competition." β
The two talked and laughed, and Xiao Peng didn't feel tired when he cleaned up the tumbleweeds. Suddenly, Xiao Peng stopped his movements and pricked up his ears to listen: "What is this sound?"
Emilia said, "The sound of the engine. What's so strange?"
Xiao Peng frowned and said, "Why do I think this voice is coming at me?"
Before Emilia could answer Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng saw the tumbleweed in front of him rushing towards him.
"!" Xiao Peng hurriedly turned around and ran, and before he took two steps back, he saw a red pickup truck crashing into him. Through the windshield, it was the girl that Xiao Peng saved yesterday. "I'll go, do you want revenge?" Xiao Peng scolded as he ran.
The girl also saw Xiao Peng and hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but she didn't expect the pickup truck to suddenly accelerate.
"Grass, do you know how to drive, brake!" This Nima cliff is to press the accelerator as a brake.
He wasn't afraid of the car, and he dodged as soon as he got out of the way, but what about Amilia?
Xiao Peng resisted this car, and it was okay! But then don't think about traveling with Emilia and the others.
Who would dare to play with him? But seeing the pickup truck getting closer and closer to him, Xiao Peng couldn't think about it anymore, he stopped running, turned to face the pickup truck, and prepared to carry it hard.
It was too late, it was fast, Xiao Peng just wanted to slap the pickup truck, but the girl in the car also came to her senses, stepped on the brakes, and played with her life, and the pickup truck rushed out along Xiao Peng's side, and then rolled directly into the bushes on the side.
Xiao Pengleng, who had already gathered his magic power, was in place, what was this?
It was Emilia who reacted first: "Xiao Peng, save people first!"
Xiao Peng came back to his senses and quickly jumped onto the overturned pickup truck. pulled out the dizzy girl who had fallen inside from the car. The girl was lucky, nothing happened, but she was obviously scared silly, Xiao Peng put her on the ground, turned off the car and jumped out of the car: "Hey, are you okay?"
The girl shook her head and sat on the ground without saying a word.
Emilia walked over and muttered in a low voice, "I can make the wrong step on the accelerator and brake, I really don't know how to get my driver's license." β
Xiao Peng asked Amilia, "Do you have a driver's license?"
Emilia nodded, "Of course." β
"Automatic?" Xiao Peng continued.
"Of course!" said Emilia, of course.
Xiao Peng squinted and asked, "Then where do you put your feet?"
"Brake with your left foot and throttle with your right foot!" Emilia didn't know what Xiao Peng meant.
Xiao Peng nodded: "Then you are likely to have the same situation as her." β
"Huh?" Emilia was stunned.
Xiao Peng explained: "Many people drive automatic cars, and they are used to braking with their left foot and throttle with their right foot, but in fact, this is wrong, because in this case, when they encounter danger, they will exert their feet together when they are excited, and the car will fly out----- just like she did just now." So be sure to remember that when driving an automatic car, don't step on anything with your left foot, only use your right foot to operate. β
The girl finally came to her senses, but she cried out: "Emilia hurried to comfort her: "This young lady, you are all right. β
The girl had an aggrieved expression: "I feel sorry for my car." Why are you here?"
Xiao Peng was speechless, and pointed to where he was just now: "Sister, are you okay? Look at our location, we are not on the road! We are on the shoulder of the road! Why did you drive here?"
The girl looked at it and muttered, "Visibility is so poor." How do I know where I'm goingγγγγγγ β
"Please, you can't feel the bumpy shoulders of the road? Thankfully, nothing serious. Xiao Peng checked it, and the girl had no external injuries.
The girl looked at the overturned car and wanted to cry again. Xiao Peng sighed: "You take pictures now, tell the insurance company about the car, and I'll find a way for you to get the car back!"
The girl nodded, got up from the ground, and took out her mobile phone to call the insurance company. And Xiao Peng took off the bracelet he wore on his hand and knitted it with a rope.
"What is this?" said Amilia, curious.
Xiao Peng showed the bracelet in front of Emilia and explained: "This is called the paratrooper rope survival bracelet, and you must have one in the field anyway." Don't underestimate this small bracelet, after unfolding, it is a 3.7-meter-long seven-core paratrooper rope, which can be used to drag and bundle at critical moments. There are also compasses, survival whistles, flints, and cutters, which are very convenient in the field. After showing Emilia to it, Xiao Peng folded the rope in half and fixed it to the pickup truck, and the other end was fixed to the 'Indian Chief Chief', waiting for the girl to finish the call.
Emilia looked at the thin paratrooper rope, "Is this okay? β
Xiao Peng smiled: "Don't underestimate this paratrooper rope, this is sturdy and ruthless, not to mention turning the car over, even if you drag the car to Chicago, it's no problem." β
The girl hung up the phone and signaled to Xiao Peng, it had been negotiated with the insurance company, Xiao Peng nodded, started the motorcycle, and after the engine roared a few times, he finally turned over the big pickup truck and turned it over, Xiao Peng looked at it: "Fortunately, there are bushes and sand over there." The damage to the car was not big, it was all scratches. β
After listening to Xiao Peng's words, the girl's face looked better. Xiao Peng got in the car and started: "Okay, there is nothing wrong with the car, be careful when driving for a while." After saying that, he untied the paratrooper rope, reknitted it into a bracelet, and put it on his wrist.
The girl listened to Xiao Peng's words, and after being stunned for a moment, she suddenly said to Xiao Peng: "That, let's go on the road together, okay?"
"Huhγγγγγγ? I don't have a Stars and Stripes driver's license. β
