Chapter 238: International Attack
Naturally, those foreign speculators saw this lucrative opportunity, because the 500,000 injections sold internationally by the First Pharma Group in Africa could hardly meet the needs of the countries. Burn? Wen Xiao? What is the reason for saying ?.? r?a?n?? So they seized this opportunity to buy and hoard penicillin at a high price, and in just half a month, the price of penicillin in the black market of various countries was speculated by these speculators to $50 a piece, and even then it was priceless.
At this time, as the No. 1 pharmaceutical company in Africa that produced penicillin, it can be said that it was making a lot of money, and the patent for penicillin belonged to the Medical Bureau of the State Council of the African People's Republic. The No. 1 Pharmaceutical Factory in Africa is also a state-owned company under the African People's Republic. However, the entire international community already knows that Li Puyu has the final say in everything in the African People's Republic. So all of this is operated by Li Puyu.
The No. 1 pharmaceutical company in Africa was founded by Fan Qingsheng just this year, and legally he belongs to Fan Qingsheng himself, but all the funds for the establishment of the company were provided by the African State Council, and several scientific research institutes under the medical school of the African people's government joined. At the beginning, Li Puyu promised Fan Qingsheng that once First Pharma produced a new drug, Fan Qingsheng's team would share the profits with First Pharma Africa. Taking penicillin as an example, Li Puyu's direct promise was that 30% of the penicillin income would be owned by Fan Qingsheng's team.
Why is penicillin so expensive internationally? The British newspaper Times published such a news, which immediately caused a chain of reports in the newspaper industry in various countries. The news wrote in a skeptical tone: "The African People's Republic, a nascent country, has about 200 million nationals and a per capita annual income of 200 non-yuan, which translates to 50 pounds sterling, while the penicillin sold in Africa is sold for only 1 non-yuan a piece, and hospitals do not even pay any money for patients to use." In the British Empire, the price of a piece was £2, and the price of exports from the African People's Republic to Britain was £1.25, and the price on the black market was even more terrible, £12.5, while the annual national income of the British Empire was £50. A box of penicillin costs £20. In other words, citizens of the British Empire would have to spend £20 on a box of penicillin. Three to four months of income will be used. What about nationals whose annual incomes are not as high as those of the British Empire? This is a life-saving medicine, not a profitable commodity for merchants. With such an expensive medicine, are you making this money with a clear conscience? ”
The Times took direct aim at the African People's Republic. This article was like a sharp knife piercing the African People's Republic, and for a time newspapers around the world followed suit and criticized the African People's Republic. But newspapers in some countries did not dare to be so radical and only insinuated about it. But their people are not fools, so they can see it at a glance. So for a while, the whole world was filled with some black-hearted African countries. Lee's Sweatshop. Words such as these have appeared in the newspapers. In general, it is to suppress the first pharmaceutical group in Africa. What is Africa's No. 1 pharmaceutical group selling drugs at high prices regardless of the suffering of the people of various countries to earn life-saving money for patients' families.
Of course, it is very difficult for foreign newspapers to enter the African People's Republic for sale, and even if they enter the African People's Republic and are seen by the common people, it is none of their business. What does it matter to us whether you people abroad live or die? We just need to benefit ourselves. Although Li Puyu ignored the remarks of those foreign newspapers, those newspapers intensified and began to spread to Li Puyu's personal attacks. Later, he began to ask Li Puyu to sell penicillin at a low price.
In the face of the abuse and attacks of the international community, Li Puyu finally couldn't bear it, and finally the Information Office of the State Council of the African People's Republic issued a news that the African People's Republic will hold a press conference of the State Council on the 31st of this month, and Professor Fan Qingsheng will give an answer at that time. The President will give an explanation. At that time, the African People's Radio will broadcast the press conference live.
At half past eight o'clock in the morning of 31 March, the press briefing room of the African People's Government Building was already overcrowded, and more than 7,800 people from the media did not say anything. Each country sent representatives of its own parliamentarians to attend. In addition, nearly 1,000 representatives of the African people from Kazakhstan attended the hearing. Some media behind him said that this press conference was not just for the media. It also has the meaning of questioning the members of the council.
Not long after, Li Puyu's motorcade arrived here, and reporters from various countries who had been waiting here for a long time swarmed up, but Li Puyu's presidential guard formed a human wall to isolate them. Blocking them, after Li Puyu obtained state power, after the advent of the domestic car, he directly selected the Boling car as his chairman's special car, and the Boling car arrived at the gate of the press conference. After the car door opened, Li Puyu walked out of the car calmly. At the same time, he also waved to reporters from various countries with a smile, which was the first time that Li Puyu appeared in front of the media since taking power in an African country. Li Puyu, who was still in a good mood, had those burning magnesium powders that shook his eyes.
As the inventor of penicillin, Fan Qingsheng's motorcade also came, and Fan Qingsheng came to Li Puyu as soon as he got out of the car, chatting with Li Puyu about some topics, and the two walked into the press conference hall together while chatting. The interior of the originally tumultuous press conference hall instantly became extremely quiet because of Li Puyu's arrival. Everyone looked at Li Puyu's calm pace, and then Li Puyu came to the rostrum, everyone present hesitated at first, and then all those present stood up and applauded Li Puyu. Applause like the sound of firecrackers instantly rang out in the press conference hall. This applause was heard around the world with the Central Radio to the African People.
Although all the media in various countries are not very satisfied with Li Puyu now, the most basic politeness and etiquette must be there, and Li Puyu is also the leader of a country. His legendary path will not affect everyone's popularity, it is because of him that he will make a barren and backward land become a world-class rich and powerful country in one fell swoop.
It's strange to say that Li Puyu still didn't know the bottom of her heart before meeting so many reporters for the first time, but when she came back to the scene, Li Puyu felt that it was no big deal. It seems that he has suddenly become less stage frightened. Because he is a national leader, he can't be ashamed.
The parliamentarians sitting on the other side of the auditorium all had solemn expressions on their faces. Penicillin is too important for your own country. Everybody is bound to get this thing. It is best to be able to get the production process. (To be continued.) )
