Chapter 515: The Elixir
Wu Zhitao of the Health and Family Planning Commission, although Watson disdains to clean him up, but someone will clean him up. After Cao Yiming went back, he only reported the situation to his superiors. Cao Yiming's position was dismissed a few days later. Don't be on the wrong side of the system. If you are on the wrong team, no one will be able to keep it. As long as you check carefully, who can guarantee that you are clean.
But Fahrenheit's troubles aren't over. No one in China dares to find trouble with Fahrenheit, which does not mean that foreign countries dare not trouble with Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit Group has also brought great challenges to foreign pharmaceutical companies, and most of those weaker pharmaceutical companies have collapsed due to the stock market crash and the capital chain has been disconnected and finally bankrupt. A large number of senior white-collar workers in pharmaceutical companies are unemployed, and due to the total collapse of the pharmaceutical industry, these people are no longer able to work in the pharmaceutical industry after losing their jobs. They went from being the most respected people in society to being unemployed. This contrast is unacceptable to them.
Foreigners are naturally not as obedient as in China, and when they lose their jobs, they naturally make a fuss and demand that the government conduct an anti-monopoly investigation into the Fahrenheit Group. But the problem is that no company has been subject to antitrust investigations for producing too many varieties. Although Fahrenheit has a complete range of products, it has no unfair competition and no illegal acts. More importantly, no country would dare to continue to punish Fahrenheit for the bankruptcy of these pharmaceutical industries, because if Fahrenheit withdrew as a result, they would face even greater trouble. But if they don't make a gesture at all, they won't be able to calm the anger of these industry workers.
The Americans soon launched a plan to support their own pharmaceutical industry, investing a lot of money to subsidize the pharmaceutical industry. Support the pharmaceutical industry's investment in high-tech research.
A large pharmaceutical company like Bess Pharmaceutical is naturally a camel bigger than a horse, and although it has suffered a comprehensive loss, it can still be maintained. However, even so, Bess Pharmaceutical had to lay off a large number of personnel. Broke the wrists of some of the strong men of the loss-making subsidiaries of Yan Zhanng.
"It's time to show off our killer features," Steve said. I really didn't expect to use our last hole card so soon. ”
Jenna said: "The Fahrenheit Group is really powerful enough to force us to such a point. ”
Sperin nodded: "But I believe that once our killer weapon comes out, we will definitely be able to earn back all the qiē we lost." ”
"Then don't wait any longer. Let's do it now! Jenny said.
One day after the high-level meeting of Bess Pharmaceutical. Bess Pharma held a press conference to unveil their latest product, a drug that can prolong human life, to the world.
"The lifespan of a person is related to the telomere length of the chromosomes. As the cell divides continuously, the length of the telomeres slowly shortens as the telomerase enzyme is inactivated. When telomeres are short with a certain degree dù. The stability of staining becomes extremely unstable. The cell will lose its ability to divide. When the apoptotic cells are larger than the new cells. Human organs begin to decline. People begin to age. The new technology of Bess Pharmaceutical is to artificially activate the activity of telomerase and always maintain the renewal of telomeres. In this way, the human cells are always in the active stage, and the young and middle-aged stage of the person will be prolonged. Thus prolonging the life of the person. In addition, due to the increase in the activity of cells, the person's disease resistance will increase. Immortality is not a dream! As soon as Steve's words fell, the flash flashed incessantly, forcing Steve to block the blinding white light with his hands.
"Mr. Steve, may I ask, what is the name of Bess Pharmaceutical's new drug?" ABC TV reporter Rodrigo immediately asked.
"Elixir." Steve replied.
A medicine that can make people immortal, naturally able to attract people's attention. Let Bess Pharmaceutical suddenly attract the attention of the world. Completely obscured the brilliance of Fahrenheit.
And that's not all, Jenny continued, "Wait, that's not all. Bess Pharma has made a breakthrough this time. The elixir is just one of them. ”
Jenna broke another shocking news.
"Could there be a more surprising breakthrough?" Rodrigo asked.
"Of course. Perhaps in the future, humanity will no longer be plagued by disease. Humans can gain immunity to said diseases. We don't need any medication. Only one super antibody needs to be planted in the body. We are immune to all diseases. We were very surprised by this discovery. Super antibodies have reached the commercialization stage. We are extremely cautious about this. Make sure you don't have any problems. Jenna said.
Rodrigo asked suspiciously: "Since the super antibody has reached the commercialization stage, why didn't your company announce the deposit of the super antibody before Bess Pharma suffered a heavy blow?" Rather than waiting until now. Are you sure that super antibodies don't pose uncertain risks? ”
Jenna nodded: "It's certain." The reason why we have waited until now to announce the results is because we want to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the super antibody. Now the experiment has been completed and has been very successful. Super antibodies are indeed safe and at the same time highly effective. ”
New York Times reporter Phoebe asked, "May I ask Ms. Jenna, does this super antibody have any effect on those who are already sick?" ”
"Mr. Reporter, you have asked this very good question. I was about to introduce it to you. Super antibodies are effective for those who are already sick. Human diseases can be genetically caused, and super antibodies are able to fight all viruses. This makes it impossible for these viruses to persist in the body. Even if the disease is already present, the storage of antibodies will improve the resistance and allow the body to spontaneously develop a resistance mechanism, so that the disease can be cured quickly. Jenna said.
"Will super antibodies make viruses super resistant and accelerate the transformation of ordinary viruses into super viruses?" Phoebe asked.
"No, it won't." Jenna hesitated slightly. The real answer to the question is certainly not what Jenna said. But Americans were so carried away by the good news from homegrown businesses that they didn't bother to heal Jenna herself.
Bess Pharmaceutical's press conference was an unprecedented success, and Bess Pharmaceutical's latest breakthrough made Americans finally proud again. The pharmaceutical industry has always been the pride of Americans. They have always been at the forefront of the world. But Fahrenheit nearly crushed their pride. Fahrenheit used its devastating momentum to topple the American pharmaceutical giants one by one.
But the interior of Bess Pharma is not full of festivity. McCarran, the chief engineer of Bess Pharmaceutical, was so anxious that the company would commercialize the technological achievements that had made a breakthrough without any clinical trials.
"It's easy to go wrong with that. Clinical trials of elixir are not without problems. I'm sure you've seen the number of drug trials we've conducted in Africa. In fact, after taking our medication, we simply can't be sure if a patient's life has been extended, because we now have no way of knowing when a patient will die. The test time is too short, and it is impossible to determine the safety of the drug we have developed. McCallan said.
"Mr. McCarran, the company has invested a lot of money in your project. And now the company is facing a difficult situation. I think you should understand these situations as well. Steve said.
"I am very grateful to the company for helping me with these issues. Once a problem arises after using the new technology, this qiē will be irreparable. During the experiment, after we fed the test mice with elixir, we found that the vitality of the test mice was greatly affected. Although they were slightly longer in their middle years, they were found to age faster. And the super antibody, may lead to the zhì virus has resistance. This causes some unexpected mutations in viruses and germs. It would be unethical to commercialize these risks before they have been fully studied. McCallan said.
"How long will it take you to be completely risk-free?" Steve asked.
"One year, if it doesn't work, half a year is fine. I'm sure I'll be able to do it. McCallan said.
"But I can't wait that long. At most, two weeks, if we can't have a new product come out, the bass group will be a thing of the past. This is our only chance. I'll give you three days if you're able to complete the real yàn. We'll just wait, otherwise, we'll have to do our best to release new products. Steve said.
"Three days, even thirty days is not enough." McCallan said.
"Then there's nothing to say. Please deliver the production technology within a few days. We will do our best to organize production. Steve said.
"Bastard!" McCallan couldn't help but curse loudly.
Bess Pharma claims that due to the extremely limited energy of the elixir, it can only be auctioned at first. An elixir starts with $100,000. The first elixir was auctioned at Christie's in the United States.
"The reserve price is $100,000, and each bid must not be less than $10,000. Bidding begins. Auctioneer Holland said.
"A million!" Wesley, an aging gentleman, raised the price to a million in one fell swoop. He was in his seventies, and God was already urging him to report early.
"One million and one million." The price of $1 million didn't scare everyone away. There are still people who do not give up the price.
"One million and two million!"
"Two million!" Wesley was bidding again. Money is something outside the body, and life is one's own. So for the sake of his own life, Wesley could only use something outside his body to smash it.
Everyone knows that Bess Pharmaceutical must be more than this elixir, but they all know that the reason why Bess Pharma does this, in order to obtain the maximum benefits, they will definitely strictly control the number of elixirs on the market.
When Wesley called out two million dollars, everyone began to hesitate.
"Two million and one million." There are still people who continue to persevere.
"Three million!" Wesley said. (To be continued......)
