Chapter 779: Hao Yingliang's Big Move (1)

Chasing the fugitive is a very important task, and Han Bo and the others returned to the embassy and immediately contacted China to verify the situation explained by Chen Wei. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When South Africa adopts the East 2nd District, BJ is the East 8th District, there is a time difference of 6 hours, and the contact is the Fujian Provincial Public Security Department, and the reply will not be available until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

After all this, it's time to get off work.

Han Bo and Li Xiaolei no longer lived in the dormitory, and drove to a villa area not far from the embassy.

Most Chinese diplomats live in embassies and consulates, while diplomats in Western countries pay more attention to privacy and do not like to confuse work and life, and are accustomed to renting houses outside embassies and consulates, and the government provides them with rental subsidies.

This villa is full of diplomats, security measures are tight, and many diplomats bring their families to work, so there is a good kindergarten and a primary school that can be called an aristocratic school across the road, which not only enrolls the children of diplomats from various countries, but also many South African high-ranking officials, South African tycoons and social elites send their children to receive the best quality education.

The motherland is getting stronger and stronger, and Chinese diplomats are being treated much better than in previous years.

In the past, only ambassadors could bring their families to take up their posts, but now you can "stay abroad with one person and go abroad with the whole family" as long as you wish.

Mr. Han, Mr. Li, and Mama Han and Mama Li want to bring Xiao Susu to visit relatives, the embassy can't live, it's not very safe to live in a hotel, and there is no shortage of money, Li Xiaolei rented the sixth villa in the second row the day before yesterday, a beautiful three-story European-style small western-style building, not only intended to be used to receive his family, but also prepared to let Xiao Susu stay here to go to school.

Yesterday I was here, and I was in a hurry, and I didn't bother to visit my new home.

Han Bo opened the door, habitually checked the security system, looked back at the living room, followed his wife to the second floor, pushed open a door, and couldn't help laughing: "Even the bed sheets are there, and the bag is checked in, which is similar to a hotel!"

"The bedding is our own, but it's similar to the twisted bag check-in, the property said that the last tenant was a Swedish diplomat, and a lot of things were not taken away when the rent was withdrawn. In order to purchase bed sheets, bedding and daily necessities, Li Xiaolei ran several times, glared at her husband, who didn't care about anything at home, and stuffed the items that she didn't have time to sort out when she came over at noon into the cabinet.

"Where's the kitchen?"

"The Swedes don't know how to cook, they don't have the pots and pans that we use, so we have to go to Joburg and buy some cooking utensils, and some soy sauce and bean paste and other spices. ”

There are also Chinese businessmen in Pretoria, but they are mainly engaged in the business of locals, and the seasoning they need to make Chinese food is still a little bit more in Johannesburg's Chinatown.

Han Bo squatted down and said while helping to clean up: "Buy more, save yourself from running back and forth all the time, and if you have time, go and see Hao Yingliang and Du Qian by the way." ”

"I thought you had forgotten about them. ”

"Isn't that busy, by the way, did they call you? ”

"I've fought several times. ”

Li Xiaolei suddenly came to her senses, simply sat on the floor, leaned on the big bed and sighed: "I really can't afford to see a doctor without insurance in South Africa, Du Qian said that it will cost 1,000 rand just to register, and then do all kinds of examinations, all the examinations are done, and the diagnosis is out, not a single medicine is prescribed, not a single injection is given, and it costs more than 300,000 yuan!"

"It's expensive, but it's mostly for foreigners. South African citizens and those with residency do not need to go to private hospitals, they only need to present a proof of income to go to a public hospital, and the South African government will settle the bill. ”

"This aspect is indeed better than in China, although the medical conditions are not as good as those in private hospitals. ”

Li Xiaolei nodded and said vividly: "The last time I accompanied them, I saw how good the conditions and services of private hospitals are, and it gives you the feeling that it is not God, but like God's father." The medical equipment is advanced, the medical level is also very high, and the anti-cancer drugs that have just been marketed in the United States are available, as long as you have money. ”

There is a doctor in the embassy, and minor illnesses can be solved by taking some medicine in the embassy.

If you suffer from a serious illness and buy a plane ticket to return to your home country for treatment, there is no need to spend this unjust money in South Africa.

Han Bo didn't care about this, he only cared about Hao Yingliang's condition: "The diagnosis is out, what does the doctor say?"

"The doctor is a medical doctor who graduated from the University of Cape Town Medical School, I forgot what his name is, anyway, the level is quite high, and he is a little famous internationally. He suggested surgery, removal of diseased tissue, combined with radiation therapy, and the use of a new drug that had just been developed in the United States. ”

The world's first human heart transplant was completed by South African doctor Barnard in 1967, creating history and creating a precedent for human heart transplantation!

Although the patient who underwent the surgery died two weeks later, Barnard is best known for that surgery. In the decades that followed, he performed more than 70 heart transplants, accumulating a lot of valuable experience for similar surgeries in many countries around the world.

On the pharmaceutical side, South Africa is also remarkable.

Not only does it attach importance to the development of new drugs, but it also has a very clear attitude on the issue of whether patents are important or it is important to save people.

In 2001, the South African Government decided to implement the Drug Administration Act passed by former President Mandela in 1997, according to which the South African Government has the supreme power to ignore the patent rights of any pharmaceutical product, that is, South Africa can make its own generic drugs or import generic drugs of the same kind that are less expensive and have the same efficacy as the patented drugs.

At that time, 39 pharmaceutical companies, including the British company GlaxoSmithKline, which has the largest producer of anti-AIDS drugs in the world, and companies such as Squibb and Merdoor, believed that their patent rights had been infringed and negotiated with the relevant South African authorities, demanding that the South African government order the cessation of production or import of such imitation products, otherwise they would be sued for infringement.

Who knew that the South African government gave them a powerful response, accusing them of insisting on what patents are not patented, and the practice of not patenting is completely a robbery without saving the fire, putting human life behind economic interests.

With the support of the government, the South African Pharmaceutical Association stepped in to put 39 international pharmaceutical giants with combined assets of nearly 1 trillion pounds, 10 times South Africa's annual GDP, into the dock.

After the lawsuit broke out, world public opinion developed in a direction that was unfavorable to those well-known enterprises, and they did not pay attention to the actual situation and stubbornly clung to the patent rights and price policies, and put forward strong criticism and accusations.

Mandela even made a public statement, accusing these companies of not having the most basic humanity.

The current president, Mbeki, also linked the epidemic of AIDS in South Africa to the fact that these companies are constantly raising the price of drugs under the guise of patent rights, saying that there are so many people living with HIV in South Africa because patients cannot afford to use such expensive patented drugs, and if these drugs could be bought very cheaply, there would not be 4.7 million people living with HIV in South Africa now!

It was only at this time that the international pharmaceutical giants reacted, knowing the real intention of the South African government to take them to court, knowing that if they persisted, public opinion would only become more and more unfavorable to them, and the public's trust in them would also be seriously affected, especially since the French and British governments have publicly called on their pharmaceutical companies to reduce the price of anti-AIDS drugs so that more patients in developing countries can afford them.

Seeing that the tide was turning, and that it was impossible for them to win the case, they decided to make a proposal to the South African side to end the court dispute and settle it out of court.

All in all, since South Africa has doctors with high medical standards and a variety of new anti-cancer drugs, Hao Yingliang really didn't come to the wrong place, after all, no matter how high the medical costs here are, they will not be as high as those in the United States.

"I have already been sentenced to death by doctors in China, is there any hope for surgery?" Han Bo was silent for a while, pretending to be relaxed.

"That doctor thinks that Boss Hao is young and has a good physique, so he can try it. said that if the operation is performed, there is at least 20% certainty that Boss Hao will live for another five years. ”

"If you live for another five years, you are only 20% sure, isn't this a dead horse as a live horse doctor?"

"Almost. ”

Li Xiaolei leaned next to her husband and said solemnly: "The cost is so high that it is scary to death, let me pay 2 million rand first." Boss Hao was worried about the loss of both people and money, and was reluctant to have surgery. Don't say that you are sure of two percent, even if there is only one percent, Du Qian has to fight for it, insist on surgery, and the money has already been paid. ”

"2 million rand, pay it when you say it, where do they get so much money. ”

"Husband, do you have a little compassion, that's other people's life-saving money, don't worry about it!"

"I didn't mean that, I mean it's not so easy to exchange foreign currency, they leave and enter the country through legal channels, where can I get so much cash?"

"Sure enough, Hao Yingliang guessed it, and he knew that you would get to the bottom of it," Li Xiaolei glared at her husband fiercely, "People don't hide assets abroad, these money are all funded by more than a dozen domestic bosses he has helped before, and it is not a subsidy, it is a congratulatory gift for the two of them to get married, and one person pays 888,888." Knowing that he was going to go abroad for medical treatment, he broke it into pieces and mobilized many people to go to the bank to exchange it for US dollars. ”

"Isn't this money laundering?"

"This is the money for medical treatment, it is people's life-saving money, and there are many people who exchange foreign exchange so much, and the law does not blame the public, you can't hold people alone, if you really hold on to it, it won't become selective law enforcement, and it won't be wiped out?"

"What's wrong with this world, I've become a bad person when I enforce the law impartially. Han Bo never thought of killing them all, pretending to be dejected, sighing.

"The law is nothing more than human feelings. ”

Li Xiaolei was really worried that her husband would trouble Hao Yingliang again, so she shook his arm flatteringly, "Also, Hao Yingliang plans to do business in South Africa, and it is a big business." Through the Director of the Police-Community Cooperation Center, Mr. Li got acquainted with Mr. Tan Tu Hao, Deputy Mayor of Newcastle City, KwaZulu-Natal, and through Mr. Chen, he got in touch with Mr. Zhang Xinjia and Mr. Sun Hengyao, and even visited the Mayor of Joburg. ”

South Africa is politically lenient towards the Chinese, and although the number of Chinese is small, there are still some Chinese political elites who hold government or parliamentary positions through elections or appointments, which also constitutes the main way for Chinese in Africa to participate in politics.

In the 80s of the last century, there was a Chinese who served as a member of the South African presidential advisory committee. In '96, Mr. Tan Tu Hao was elected as the Deputy Mayor of Newcastle City, KwaZulu-Natal. In the South African parliamentary election the year before last, Mr. Chen Tuhao of the African National Assembly (hereinafter referred to as the "African National Congress") and Zhang Xinjia of the Inkata Freedom Party became the first batch of Chinese parliamentarians in South Africa, rewriting the history of the South African parliament without a Chinese figure.

He is only a police liaison officer, mainly dealing with the South African Police and the Immigration Department.

After taking office, he never visited these Chinese political elites, but he didn't expect Hao Yingliang to "repeat his old tricks", and he had a relationship with the Chinese political elites in South Africa before he arrived in South Africa for less than a month.

He wants to buy the world's tallest and largest urban slum Tang apartment and transform it into a Chinese mall integrating business, housing and logistics. ”

In the early 90s of last century, Chinese went to South Africa to set up stalls, brought goods with them when they came, and then went back to enter after selling, which was similar to the grandfather;

In the mid-90s, the store was opened;

After 2000, a mall was built.

In recent years, housing prices in South Africa have risen rapidly, and rents have also risen.

Han Bo was stunned, and after a long pause, he calmed down and asked suspiciously, "Wife, is that what he said, is he really going to buy the Tangte apartment?"

"Hmm. ”

"What's going on in the Dont apartment, the question is does he have that much money?"
