Chapter 33 Europe's Departure from NATO

The head of state finally chose to agree to Li Chen's medical plan, but of course, the landing of the official hats of countless people behind him had nothing to do with Li Chen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Chen also did not continue to care about the plan of the new drug, and everything could not be operated until the drug obtained the market access qualification. There is still a long way to go for a new drug to come out of the laboratory and put it on the shelves of pharmacies, and Li Chen and Yuan Yuan have no intention of breaking the normal drug approval process, and it is okay to appropriately speed up some efficiency.

On July 18, 1997, Tai Chi Group announced in the imperial capital that it had made a major breakthrough in the treatment of kidney cancer, and invented a new Chinese patent medicine based on the principle of mutual growth and restraint of the five elements of the human body.

The new drug will be used for advanced kidney cancer. Essential drugs for initial targeted therapy of the urinary system, such as cyst cancer, can inhibit all metastatic advanced malignancies of the urinary system. tumors, which can cure malignant tumors of the urinary system in the early and middle stages. Tumor. Now it has officially entered the clinical trial stage, and volunteers are now being recruited from all over the world. As soon as this news came out, the world immediately fell into a sensation.

This is a malignant tumor found from humans. For the first time so far, the tumor is expected to conquer the malignant tumor. tumors, and still declared to conquer the entire urinary system. You know, you know. Cyst cancer and kidney cancer are global malignant tumors. The top two incurable diseases with the highest incidence rate of tumors, and now Huaguo's Tai Chi Medicine has actually announced that malignant tumors can be terminated through Chinese medicine. Tumor.

Cancer, humanity's number one killer is about to be captured by humans!

Taiji Group did not announce the name of the drug, but only chose the Third Hospital of Imperial Capital as the cooperative hospital for clinical trials, and the ICU Fund followed up and announced that it would be responsible for the expenses of all foreign Chinese patients to participate in clinical trials in Imperial Capital.

Countless patients in Huaguo who were suffering from the disease suddenly boiled, and people who held the last glimmer of hope soon took various means of transportation to the Third Hospital of the Imperial Capital. And although overseas patients want to protest, a drug that has not entered the official sales stage, what to protest? Overseas patients can only wait silently, constantly refreshing the page of the ICU website.

Although the Third Hospital had been prepared to vacate an inpatient building in advance and convert all the wards into triple rooms, it still could not meet the needs of all the patients who came. In desperation, Li Quanshan had to use the ICU to appeal to the patient to wait. As long as the clinical trial is completed, we will make every effort to ensure the supply of drugs.

The new director of the National Medical Administration also announced that the National Medical Administration has opened a green channel for such important discoveries, advanced the drug approval process, and intervened in clinical trials at an early stage to speed up the efficiency of drug testing. As long as it is confirmed that there is a certain curative effect, even if there are some side effects, the admission qualification will be issued as soon as possible, and the situation can be barely controlled.

No one has made a negative remark about the statement of the pharmaceutical bureau, what are the side effects compared to chemotherapy? What are the side effects compared to life?

On August 27, 1997, Huaguo Pharmaceutical Bureau, Taiji Group and the Third Hospital of Imperial Capital held the first press conference on clinical trials.

According to the monitoring reports presented by the Pharmaceutical Bureau, among the 500 patients who underwent clinical trials, after one month of drug treatment, various types of urinary system malignant swelling in the early and middle stages. The tumors have been effectively treated, the cancer cells have been killed in large quantities, and the patient's own immune system has been effectively restored. It is expected that after one month, it will be completely cured or even removed without surgery. In patients with advanced metastases, the cancer cells in their bodies are also suppressed, so that the patient's life can be extended.

Tai Chi Group announced that some of the studies obtained in this clinical trial are expected to help Tai Chi Group conquer other tumor diseases. Suddenly, Tai Chi Medicine became the core of the world's pharmaceutical industry.

On the same day, Dayuan Pharmaceutical Group, which was jointly established by Novartis, Roche, Bayer, Taiji Group and Daeyuan Municipal Government in Tay Son Province, announced that its production line has been adjusted and ready to be put into the production of new anti-cancer drugs.

The European Union has also announced that it is conducive to the entry of multi-ingredient TCM preparations into the European market to serve patients. The analysis patterns derived by various chemical analysis methods of natural medicine have been accepted as the standard for the samples to be submitted for testing, as long as the same pattern is sent each time.

Subsequently, Taiji Group officially announced that the new anti-cancer drug will be submitted to the European Medical Testing Agency, and the European clinical trial will be carried out in various countries with the support of Novartis (Switzerland), Bayer (Germany), Sanofi-Aventis (France), Novo Nordisk (Denmark), and GlaxoSmithKline (UK).

People were surprised to find that Taiji Group did not submit a new drug registration application to the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) and did not arrange clinical trials in the United States. What's going on? The patients in the United States immediately panicked and questioned the FDA of the United States, and some even went to the official website of Taiji Group and Li Chen's ICU to leave a message, asking for FDA certification for the new drug.

After an announcement by the Taiji Group, angry people smashed every piece of glass in the FDA building.

"Because this drug is a Chinese medicine product, the FDA does not have relevant certification for Chinese medicine, and this drug is not accepted to enter the United States in the form of food. Therefore, all prescription drugs of the Group will not be submitted for certification and sale to the United States. Taiji Group abides by the laws and regulations of various countries, please understand! ”

The people of the world suddenly realized that according to the relevant regulations of the FDA, drugs rich in various elements such as Chinese medicine cannot be certified by the FDA. Even the unspoken rules of the United States identify Chinese medicine as illegal drugs and do not allow pharmacies to sell them on the shelves.

In the United States, the situation of Chinese medicine can be described in one sentence: Chinese medicine is not medicine, and Chinese medicine is not medicine.

In the United States, only acupuncture can be recognized by relevant institutions. Drugs can only be sold as health products in the name of food, and even Chinese people who go abroad with ordinary Xiao Chai Hu powder will be confiscated as contraband, usually deported and blacklisted, and even imprisoned in serious cases.

In this case, it is reasonable and legal for Taiji Group not to submit new drug certification to the United States. People fully respect the management regulations of the United States government, and if you don't allow it, then I won't sell it to you.

How is it? You go and face millions of cancer patients across the country.

Under pressure, the head of the FDA had to stand up and declare: Mi is actively studying the European practice and issuing the approval of traditional Chinese medicine as soon as possible, hoping that the people will be patient. As a result, the spokesman was embarrassed by the tomatoes and eggs thrown by the audience.

Someone also shouted: FK patience, time is the slogan of the statement.

Correspondingly, Hua Guohua Medicine officially appeared in front of the Omi people for the first time, and Hua Medicine is not a dark oriental witch water, but a mysterious science that can overcome the biggest killer of mankind. But in the minds of Westerners, they can't understand why a bunch of grass, leaves, roots, and sometimes a bunch of strange things such as bones and stones can be boiled into a soup to cure diseases.

Human beings are naturally curious, and before there is no hope of Chinese medicine to overcome cancer, Westerners instinctively resist the bitter Chinese medicine without understanding it. But when it was able to cure cancer, it became a mysterious gift from God to the Chinese people.

The Stick Country acted quickly and had already submitted the Stick Doctor to the United Nations as the greatest asset left to the world by the Big Stick Country, but it was thrown into the shredder by the cultural heritage organization with a smile. Just kidding, if it passes the certification in its own hands, Tai Chi Group can do it to ban the sale of it to my country, and I am not torn apart by my hometown to feed the dogs!

The turmoil of world medicine did not attract the attention of the head of state and others.

Because their attention is now all drawn to one piece of news.

On August 26, 1997, in Milan, Italy, Jiang Jianqing, chairman of Huaguo Industrial and Commercial Bank, was engrossed in reading a job application letter in the office of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Milan.

The information behind this cover letter made Jiang Jianqing attach great importance to it, a dignified director of the European Monetary Bureau and the head of the Preparatory Committee for the Central Bank of the European Union. Xi, an old friend who is destined to be the president of the European Central Bank, which will be established next year, actually sent him a job application email.

Jiang Jianqing clearly remembered that when he saw this letter of application from an old Dutch friend in the imperial capital, he almost didn't dare to believe it.

Wim. De Isenberg, a native of the Netherlands, served as the governor of the Dutch Central Bank in 82~97 years, introduced a series of austerity economic policies, which made fundamental changes in the Dutch economy, and was called the "Dutch miracle" by Europe.

He had just stepped down as head of the Dutch central bank in July to take over the newly created European Monetary Office, and everyone in the banking community knew that Wim was about to become the first head of the European Central Bank. The glory of introducing a multi-national currency was about to fall to the Dutchman, a pride that any banker could only dream of.

However, something happened that made him suddenly propose to apply for a job and seek the position of president of a commercial bank.

Jiang Jianqing instinctively thought that there must be an extraordinary change in this. So he came to Italy in person and interviewed Wim.

Wim arrived at the meeting room on time, accompanied by a team of reporters. The prospect of cooperation between the EU and China's large commercial banks is enough to cover up the actual content of the conversation between the two men, so the two generously allowed reporters to take pictures.

After the reporters dispersed, Wim told his entourage to leave under the pretext of having a closed-door meeting.

"Mr. Wim, we're old friends too, do you know what you're doing?" Jiang Jianqing took the translator with him, and he was not worried about the communication between them, and as soon as Wim sat down, he couldn't wait to get to the point.

"Do you recognize my professional abilities?" Wim did not answer Jiang's question, but tried to shift the conversation to his job search.

"With you creating the 'Dutch Miracle', no one in the world will doubt your professionalism, but why?" Jiang Jianqing affirmed Wim, but still put on a posture that you must explain clearly.

"I can't say the specifics, I can only say that I don't like the title of Director of the Monetary Bureau, I like people to call me President Wim, it's as simple as that." Wim knew that if he didn't explain himself, everyone would think he was crazy.

"Could there be anyone more suited to the post of president of the European Central Bank than you? Mr. Wim, this is impossible. ”

"Jiang, thank you for your appreciation of me. But the ECB is gone, and the euro will be presided over by another behemoth. I, poor Wim, was abandoned by Europe. Wim had no choice but to reveal the news further.

"How is that possible? Who but the central bank can take on this responsibility? Jiang Jianqing was shocked when he heard it, Europe, the euro, is there anything wrong?

"No, no, Chiang, the euro would be better, what if the European banking sector united into one bank? Now that European banks have begun to shrink their derivatives operations and reduce their subordinated bond holdings, you will know something about this in a few days. That behemoth is beyond my power before God can manage it. Jiang, we have only been alone for a short time, will you consider my application? ”

"Mr. Wim, if you can become the president of ICBC. When will you take office? Jiang Jianqing decided to estimate the changes in Europe from the time of his arrival, and did not hesitate to extend an invitation to Wim.

"Soon, give me 2 months. Please let me know when you are sure, as I have other intentions. Although Wim knew Jiang Jianqing's purpose, he still told him the time very simply.

The closed-door meeting between the two lasted only 5 minutes, and then the two of them moderated the exchange with both teams on their faces.

As soon as the event was over, Wim had just walked out of the door of the ICBC office building when he took out his phone and dialed a number. After connecting, he said respectfully: Your Majesty, the news has been delivered.

"Okay, I hope Mr. Wim can be the master of the Star Foundation. The position of the seat creates more wealth for the family. A young voice came out of the microphone, Wim

After hearing it, he hurriedly said that he must fight for the family's cause, looking at his respectful appearance, as if the person on the other end of the phone was in front of him.

"Dean, I hope to be able to report back to the imperial capital in person after returning to the imperial capital tomorrow." Jiang Jianqing stood in front of the glass of the office, looked down at Wim nodding and talking on the phone, and respectfully asked the vice president of Haihe on the other side of the phone.

August 28, 1997, a very auspicious number. On the same day that Jiang Jianqing reported his speculation to the dean, UBS announced the merger with UBS AG, Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse, Commerzbank and Swedbank to form UBS Union Banking Group (UBS), with total assets under management reaching 5,116 billion Swiss francs, making it the second largest bank in Europe and the second largest bank in the world.

The reason why it is the second largest is because on the same day, Deutsche Bank announced the merger of Deutsche Commercial Bank, Dai-ichi Bank, Sakura Bank, Fuji Bank, Daiwa Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Miwa Bank, Tokai Bank, Kyowa Bank, Daiwa Bank, Bank of Tokyo, and Hokkaido Development Bank to form the new Deutsche Bank Group, which has become an unprecedented giant. New Deutsche Bank announced that it would limit the scale of its bond-based financial derivatives business with effect from 1 January 2000.

What is even more shocking is that on the same day, the Japanese announced their accession to the eurozone.

On the same day, the two major banks were born, especially the announcement of the Japanese country's accession to the eurozone, which means that the Japanese country has completely turned away from the U.S. alliance and turned to Europe.

"Is there any evidence that Li Chen has anything to do with this?"

In the conference room of the Red Palace, the head of state asked Xiao Ying with a solemn expression.

At this time, the joy brought by the technological breakthrough of medicine has completely disappeared, what is Europe doing?

Li Chen's family is in Switzerland, and this has been determined. Because agents scattered all over Switzerland found Li Chen and Sissi walking on the Swiss street more than once.

"Li Chen's guards are too tightly guarded, and we have not obtained internal information, but during this period of time, Li Chen frequently appeared at the headquarters of Swiss Bank and Deutsche Bank. The agent we followed had been warned many times by Li Yong, but our agent had always complied with the rule that no photography was allowed, so Li Yong did not expel our agent, and even became friends with each other. However, it is observed that there are more than a dozen agents of the United States who have fallen under Li Yong this month alone. Xiao Ying said as he took out the pre-printed report and distributed it to everyone.

"We analyze and evaluate, because in recent years, Citibank, Mizhou Bank, HSBC, Chase Bank have had a great impact on the European banking industry, according to the current situation of development, it is expected that in 2 years, the top 20 of the World Bank, the United States will account for at least 4. Although European capital has recovered some of its decline in the Japanese financial crisis, it still lacks some stamina. This move by UBS and Deutsche Bank is probably a last resort in response to the current fierce competition in the international banking industry. Haihe also distributed the analysis and evaluation report of the central bank's experts to the participants.

"HSBC doesn't count the United States as a country, and the British HSBC Holdings is also owned by the Li Chen family." Dean Qin lightly reminded Xiahaihe. Yu Minqiang, Wu Jianbang, and Liu Haibo next to him were stupid when they heard it.

"Dean, what do you mean that the Li Chen family controls HSBC Holdings, UBS, and New Deutsche Bank?" Yu Minqiang, as the future executive vice president, heard this information for the first time, and couldn't help but cautiously ask the dean for verification.

"Haihe, let's introduce our children's financial strength. I remember that yesterday the central bank just reported the aggregated information. Dean Qin said to Haihe with a smile, it's time to remind the head of state once again that this boat is not so easy to turn around.

"I'll cut a long story short, according to our analysis, HSBC Holdings, the No. 1 HSBC Holdings in the UK, the No. 2 Royal Bank of Scotland, the No. 3 Halifax Bank of Scotland, the No. 1 Crédit Agricole in France, the National Bank of Paribas, the Société Générale, the German New Deutsche Bank, the Dutch Bank in the Netherlands, the International Dutch Group, the Union Bank of Belgium, the UniCredit Bank of Italy, and the Union Bank of Italy, all have unclear relationships with Li Chen, combined with the fact that he once admitted that some large banks in Europe belong to their family. In other words, Li Chen controlled the financial and even currency issuance of the whole of Europe, which basically coincided with Roche's sphere of influence back then. ”

"Perhaps from another point of view, Li Chen's power, in the Japanese and Southeast Asian financial crises, all the banks established before the 19th century in Europe, most of the banks established before World War II, and other financial institutions, such as Allianz, Generali, Aviva, Dutch National Insurance Group, Dutch Global Insurance Group and other major European financial institutions, as well as a large number of small private banks dedicated to serving the traditional European aristocracy, All obeyed the command of Li Chen's financial steward, that is, Rothschild's patriarch Guy, which also shows the scope and strength of Li Chen's control over European finance. ”

"In particular, the emergence of this star fund, the preliminary estimate of this fund is nearly 20 trillion meters on the surface, according to the general operation methods of finance, there must be a large number of funds operating in the dark is something we cannot understand, at present, we only see that Guy basically uses the star fund to control the impact of the operation of European capital on Southeast Asia." Haihe had no way to list all the banks that Li Chen might influence, so he could only select some important large commercial banks and specific cases to illustrate.

Looking at the expressions of the participants, especially the next generation of successors who heard Li Chen's detailed information for the first time, Haihe shrugged, no way, just get used to it.

"Comrade Jiang Jianqing of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China had a closed-door conversation with the director of the European Monetary Bureau in Wim, or it may be more able to explain why Li Chen returned to Europe." Dean Qin suddenly interjected, Haihe looked at Dean Qin, Dean Qin nodded, and gave him an encouraging look.

"As you know, ICBC has always wanted to recruit a president with experience in international finance, and a few days ago, Comrade Jiang Jianqing received a letter of application. The person who was looking for a job was unexpectedly - the newly appointed head of the European Monetary Commission, Wim. Comrade Jiang Jianqing attached great importance to this information and personally went to Italy for a short closed-door exchange with Wim. According to the information revealed by Wim, a greater consolidation of the banking sector may be brewing in Europe, and perhaps in a month or so, Europe will merge with all the large banks or form a joint venture to form a large banking group, and use it as a euro issuing bank to replace the European Central Bank proposed by the European Union. Guys, we all know what that means. Europe may be accelerating the process of reunification. ”

"If there is one person who can make European countries let go of hundreds of years of grievances, then only Li Chen and the Leader family behind Li Chen. Such a big move may only be promoted by Li Chen, the patriarch heir, personally. This is also the reason why Li Chen put down so many things in Asia and ran back to Europe. "Haihe stopped, giving everyone a chance to think.

Li Chen's return to Europe proves the authenticity of the unification of the European banking industry from another angle, not to mention anything else, once the banks, insurance, funds and other financial institutions controlled or influenced by the Richard family merge, it is enough to assume the functions of the European Central Bank. Not to mention the fact that Deutsche Bank has integrated all the large banks of the Japanese country and the Japanese country has joined the eurozone. Haihe had already finished introducing this, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should tell his speculation together. It's weird.

"Finally, I have a personal opinion for your reference." Haihe looked at the Führer and saw that the Führer nodded and motioned for him to continue. "A senior professional manager may have a change in position, but that doesn't mean he has to find the next job in the fastest time. As a top international banker, it is impossible for Wim not to know how much impact his revelations will have, which is not in line with the professional ethics and identity of bankers. So my personal speculation is that Wim deliberately used this way to convey the news to us at the behest of some people, such as Li Chen, and he may not really take up the position of president of Huaguo Industrial and Commercial Bank. At that time, we will be able to judge. However, we must now begin to carefully consider the impact of the consolidation of the European banking sector on international settlements, exchange rate changes, bond markets, securities markets, and so on, so as to avoid China suffering losses due to its lack of preparation in the midst of changes. ”

"Then why didn't Li Chen remind us directly, but instead used this way to deliver the message?" Liu Haibo suddenly asked, with his cognition, this is not in line with Li Chen's character.

"As for why we are reminded in this way, one possibility is that we have a bad taste as a little friend, playing a guess game and taking revenge on our attitude towards medicine some time ago." Speaking of this, Haihe glanced at the Führer, and the smile on the Führer's face suddenly became clearer, and he shook his head to show that he didn't mind. Haihe himself knows that the head of state is used to Li Chen, and as long as he receives grievances, he can always find an opportunity to take revenge back.

"And the other possibility requires us to be vigilant, and at worst, we think that the Li Chen family may be wary of Huaguo and order Li Chen not to pass on relevant information. Li Chen had to remind us in this way. As the heir of the family, Li Chen could not have a few henchmen, and Wim may be the most suitable person. Haihe explained unhurriedly, and took out a few files from the folder next to him.

"We mobilized dozens of experts to analyze Li Chen's information in China over the years and the changes in the economic, cultural and political aspects of European countries. International relations experts and financial experts have concluded that Li Chen essentially has the greatest goodwill towards our country, but when his family's fundamental interests are offended, his family's interests will override Li Chen's goodwill, which is a force that Li Chen cannot reverse. The analysis of behavioral experts is the same as our cognition some time ago: on the premise that Li Chen's wishes are respected, the family behind him will support Li Chen's wishes to the greatest extent. On the contrary, if Li Chen's wishes were not respected to the greatest extent, his family would influence Li Chen's various decisions, and even Li Chen would have to obey. ”

Experts who study European history believe that Li Chen's stay in China may be practicing an ancient European family tradition: adult training. As for the content of the experience, experts speculate that it may be the strength of developing China. Haihe said this, seeing Yu Minqiang's incredulous look, he smiled and continued.

"Don't think this is ridiculous, I was seriously skeptical when I first heard it. However, experts have listed many European royal families that have been inherited for hundreds of years, such as the Habsburg, Weitin, Welf, Bourbon, Stuart, Tudor, Hohenzollern and other families in the Middle Ages. It may be that the population has multiplied to a certain number, the economy has developed to a certain size, or the conquest of a certain colony, or even the victory or defeat of a war between countries, etc., all kinds of real historical records cannot help but believe it. ”

And Li Chen's performance is also in line with this speculation, think about it. Militarily, Li Chen has never been stingy with his support for China, and he has spared no effort to improve China's military strength, and his family has also fully cooperated in this regard. Even after Li Chen transferred the right to negotiate military technology to his foreign affairs steward, we would still be able to get the full support of his family. But when it comes to Li Chen's investment in China, that is, Taiji Group and Wuji Technology Group. Li Chen still had the intention of cooperating at first, but the last time Li Chen was recalled to the family due to problems with Sifang Electronics, Karl, the patriarch of the Habsburgs, emphasized several times that his family business was not allowed to accept external investment. Since then, Li Chen's attitude has changed greatly, and he even fell out with us several times in order to avoid state control. I cannot have another explanation other than this one that illustrates two very different attitudes of the same person, both militarily and economically. ”

"I think the head of state wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of pharmaceutical promotion to propose a joint venture between the state and his family, and he should have seen his family's statement: Taiji Group was intentional because Li Chen's personal investment had nothing to do with the family business."

When the Führer heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, Wuji Technology is already a behemoth, and it has always been my heart disease that we gain and lose." Although Taiji Group is a group company founded by Li Chen personally in order to repay Lijiacun, I think it can also be used as a major link between the Chinese government and the Leader family. That's why I put forward the idea of a joint venture between Taiji Group and a pharmaceutical company, but it was stirred up by your gang. ”

Looking at Wang Pingren, who was sitting at the bottom, the head of state smiled mildly and waved his hand: "I am not accusing or criticizing your actions at that time, politicians must have their own moral bottom line and firm values and governing philosophy, which I am very pleased with." But with such a huge capital force, we can't just rely on good personal relationships to maintain it. Li Chen is friendly to us, and due to his layout in Southeast Asia, our external environment has become very relaxed. The secret service department reported that Li Chen had secretly made a lot of efforts on the return of Hong Kong Island and the return of the Southern District, and this was verified. But what about when we get old? Don't forget that he is a cultivator. ”

"As politicians, sometimes we have to do things that even we hate ourselves, and for what? In order to make our career more secure! At this point, I hope you will keep in mind that we can rely on Li Chen and trust Li Chen, but we must not rely on him and trust the family behind him. Since even you yourself admit that the interests of the Leader family are higher than Li Chen's personal wishes, then in the future, find a way to tie up the interests of the country and Li Chen, only the common interests can last. ”

At this time, Xiao Ying's adjutant suddenly pushed the door in and hurriedly delivered a document. Xiao Ying's face changed drastically, and he immediately signaled that there was an emergency.

"Just now, the heads of state of Britain, France, and Germany suddenly made a joint televised speech in Paris, announcing that because of serious differences with the United States on African affairs, Europe will break away from NATO, and in order to strengthen European security, the European Union Defense Force will be formed to unify European defense. It also reaffirmed that the circulation of the euro was launched on time on 1 January 1999. ”
