Chapter 491: The Price
The developer of a highly effective antibody specifically against the Ebola virus is Bess Pharmaceutical. Bess Pharma has set up a research institute in Africa to conduct human trials of new drugs with Africans who lack medicine. In recent years, Africa has become a human testing base for pharmaceutical companies in developed countries in Europe and the United States. A few years ago, Nigeria sued a company in the United States that was conducting human trials and caused a large number of deaths and disabilities.
Sub-Saharan African countries are in dire need of medicine and medical assistance because of poverty and disease. However, receiving assistance is not without risk. Many local victims are grateful for the "aid" from Western countries, but they do not know that the medicines they receive are in stocks that have been eliminated in Europe and the United States.
Bess Pharma has been conducting drug research in Africa for a long time and has developed a specific drug against the Ebola virus. But Africans have extremely limited purchasing power, and it is clear that it is not in their interest to treat Africans as their consumers. They want to expand their consumer base. So the idea was hit to countries outside Africa. China, with its large population, is also on their radar. The Chinese population is extremely large. Purchasing power has slowly increased.
However, the original Ebola virus has very limited infectivity and has no possibility of spreading in other countries and regions with good sanitation. So Bess Pharmaceuticals decided to take effective action. They are making a fuss about the proto-Ebola virus. After genetic engineering modification, the Ebola virus strain was modified by them into a supervirus strain that can increase the infection by a factor of ten. These strains were dropped on passengers from various countries who were transiting at Dubai airport. But they apparently ignored the infectivity of this superviral strain, when it came to releasing the virus. Passengers on a plane bound for the United States were also infected, and then as those passengers traveled around the world, the virus spread around the world. In the end, it was the target of Bess Pharmaceutical's determination - China did not receive the ravages of the virus.
"It's him again! Abominable Chinese! Steve said angrily.
"Originally, we did this qiē seamlessly, but we didn't expect that when we were about to harvest, we would be stuck in the middle of a lever by this person." Spelling also slapped the table in the face.
"What now?" Jenna asked.
"What to do? Hurry up and sell all our antibodies, and try to recover our losses before they depreciate to nothing. Steve said. The Ebola program in Africa consumed a lot of money and energy from Americans, but no one thought that what they thought was a lucrative business would go wrong.
"No one could have predicted this time. After all, who would have thought that the Chinese would be able to develop a special drug so quickly? But we can let the wind out. They said they made the virus. Then they use the miracle medicine to make a profit. Jenna said.
"It's really long hair and short knowledge, theirs is Chinese medicine. There's no way we can frame them, but we get noticed. After all, in such a short period of time, a specific antibody was launched. If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese's drug was about to completely occupy the market and drive us to a dead end. I'm not going to do that. So. Not only can we not create rumors. Instead, it is necessary to respond as soon as possible. This time, a large number of people were infected, and a certain number of deaths occurred. There will definitely be an investigation. With the capabilities of the FBI, it should not be difficult to find out to us. So we have to prepare early. Steve said.
Soon, Bess announced that it had targeted multiple strains of the Ebola virus. Specific antibodies were developed. These antibodies will be specifically designed to respond to the volatile Ebola virus in Africa. Bess has found hundreds of different strains in patients across Africa, including the recent spread of super-infectives.
"The Ebola virus is constantly mutating, and mutations make it more infectious. It's like a ghost that is constantly enhancing itself. Africa is a hotbed of the Ebola virus. It's a paradise for viruses. Personal hygiene problems and hygienic conditions make it very easy for these viruses to spread. The international community should join hands in the treatment of Ebola. Bess Pharma also hopes to make its own contribution. For the sake of the well-being of all mankind, Bess Pharma would rather make great sacrifices economically. At the same time, it is also hoped that Chinese companies that have developed specific drugs for the Ebola virus will also be willing to make selfless contributions. Stephen announced in public that Bess Pharma will donate $100 million worth of special antibodies to Africa.
Stephen succeeded in diverting the world's attention and instead pushed Fahrenheit to the forefront. Because Bess Pharma has already taken action and demonstrated to Fahrenheit.
Strangely enough, the first to respond was China's Internet intellectuals, who began to attack Fahrenheit on the Internet, believing that Fahrenheit was mercenary and had no idea of giving back to society.
"Fahrenheit has no corporate culture to speak of. As a world-class enterprise, it should have a strong sense of social responsibility. And not mercenary. U.S. companies can lend a helping hand to Africa, but Fahrenheit is still greedily demanding money from countries around the world. Qiu Luwei, a well-known public knowledge on the Internet, expressed her opinion for the first time.
Qiu Luwei's remarks were quickly supported by a large number of fanatics.
"The Fahrenheit Group is a bloodsucking worm entrenched in our country. All the wealth of the whole country was sucked away by him. A large number of pharmaceutical companies have closed down because of it. It was an arbitrary dictator, extremely domineering internationally, and still refuses to supply drugs to Japan to this day. Another well-known online poem, Pantene, immediately echoed from afar.
All of a sudden, all the Internet intellectuals screamed and launched a fierce attack on the Fahrenheit Group as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Fahrenheit was quick to respond to Stephen's remarks. First, the Fahrenheit Group has donated a billion dollars worth of miracle drugs, but the distribution of the miracle drugs is carried out by the Chinese government. Second, the Ebola virus epidemic is not accidental, and Chinese scientists have found evidence of artificial modification in a strain of Ebola that has suddenly increased its infectivity by a factor of ten. In such a short period of time, Bess Pharma was able to develop a specific antibody to the artificially modified Ebola superinfectious strain, and Fahrenheit Group greatly admired the advanced modern medical technology mastered by Bess Pharma.
Fahrenheit's remarks make it clear that BS Biopharma is the main culprit for the global spread of the Ebola virus.
At this moment, the Internet intellectuals collectively quieted down. Of course, there are still people who defend Bess Pharmaceutical. Spratene still believes that Bess Pharmaceutical was framed by Fahrenheit, "Although Fahrenheit Group did not specify that Bess Pharmaceutical caused the spread of the Ebola virus, everyone can hear the extraneous sound." This is a trick of Fahrenheit. In this way, they try to avoid the world's attention on them. As for the special medicine donated by Fahrenheit, it is actually nothing more than the land rent of the Taklamakan Desert, which they occupy for them, a place larger than a province in China. How can this be counted on the head of Fahrenheit? ”
Qiu Luwei also quickly updated Weibo to support Shi Panting's statement.
"Believing that time will tell, some small-bellied people are adept at retaliating against those who point out their flaws head-on. Bess Pharmaceutical only persuaded Fahrenheit to lend a helping hand to its African brothers, but it was implicitly implicit by Fahrenheit as the culprit. Is it really possible to have no lower limit? ”
It was at this time that the Dubai police called up the video footage of the infected person transferring at the Dubai airport. A series of phenomena have been discovered. Several Americans entered the airport with fake passports and left some items in the waiting room. It is highly likely that these people with fake passports are the spreaders of the virus.
The FBI intervened in the investigation, but the final result was not ideal, and the people who were transferred to the airport with fake passports have turned into corpses when they were found. The trail was completely cut off. Bess Pharmaceutical deserves to be the No. 1 pharmaceutical company in the United States, and they have exonerated themselves from suspicion in a very short time. Although all the signs point to Bess Pharmaceutical, there is no strong evidence to be found. Bess's institutes in Africa are also deeply ingrained, and they can come up with a whole bunch of things to prove their innocence.
However, no matter how seamless Bess Pharmaceutical is, they still can't deceive the world. Americans rate Bess Pharmaceuticals as the least popular pharmaceutical company in the United States. Their antibodies were no longer popular, and Americans turned to Fahrenheit's miracle drug. A dishonest business is not popular anywhere.
The Americans' approach is clearly in stark contrast to the actions of Chinese intellectuals. Of course, at this time, the public will not speak out, no matter how others @ them, they are all pretending to be stupid. Because they have already reaped the income they deserve. There have long been people abroad who secretly put their remuneration in their secret accounts. Naturally, they also entered the blacklist of the Fahrenheit Group at the same time.
Because of this incident, the pharmaceutical market occupied by Bess Pharmaceutical has declined sharply. The U.S. government also completely abandoned Bess Pharmaceutical. All kinds of troubles in Bess Pharmaceutical continue. The shares of Bess Pharmaceutical were completely abandoned by shareholders. Bess Pharmaceutical's stock has finally stopped falling for many consecutive days. The value of Bess Pharmaceutical has shrunk by at least half all at once.
Steve's palm slammed down on the table, sending the glass of water on it jumping.
"It's not over! Damn Chinese, sooner or later you will pay the price for your comeback because of your so-called actions! Steve said fiercely. (To be continued......)
