Chapter 49: No Choice

Although the Takashiro couple can understand the sky-high price of 280 billion yen demanded from Doraemon for the development and customization of the zombie virus vaccine from a professional point of view, Miss Saya Takashiro questioned it from the perspective of a manga.

“…… Father! Mom! Perhaps, with current science and technology, it is true that so much money is needed to develop a vaccine, but with the level of science and technology of people from other worlds in the 22nd century, why do they need to use so much money? Obviously, I even have something like the [Automatic Medical Kit]......"

“…… I also mentioned this issue to Doraemon. ”

Soichiro Takashiro replied with a straight face as usual, "...... He replied that in the parallel world of the future, although technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, prices are also soaring terribly because of inflation. The yen's future depreciation will be as disparate as it was before and after the war. Nobita once ordered a box of high-end sweets from the future world, but was asked for a sky-high price of 2 million yen, and he almost had to sell his kidney to pay off his debts......"

“…… Belch...... It seems to be like this in the comics......"

Saya Takajo bit his fingers, his eyes fluttering, "...... But it's all their words, and who knows if it's true......"

Seeing that her daughter was still so unenlightened, Yuriko Takashiro had no choice but to stretch out her hand and flick her little brain melon "tensely".

“…… By this time, haven't you understood? Saya! It doesn't matter if they are telling the truth or not, whether there is a lion opening his mouth or not! The important thing is that we simply don't have a choice! In these last days when the dead devour the living, even if we have mountains of gold and precious stones, can we exchange them for food, weapons, and transportation? Can it keep us alive under the siege of zombies? Not to mention the special medicine that can treat the zombie virus infection - this thing is not even available to the president of the United States! Unless he is also one of the members behind the scenes......

And this qiē, those people from another world can provide it! Not to mention some things outside the body that we can't keep in the first place, it's a bigger price, and we have to grit our teeth and agree. It's not a business negotiation that you come and go, it's a matter of no choice at all!

So, Saya, please don't play any more tempers in front of them, it's a joke with all of our lives......"

- In fact, some people are also very dissatisfied with Doraemon's honest price of 280 billion yen as soon as he opens his mouth.

“…… I said Xiao Qiuqiu, how can you let that solid-headed machine qì cat directly quote the reserve price at the beginning? ”

In the courtyard of the Gao Cheng family's mansion, in an empty and uninhabited corner, the rotten girl Ma Tong was unceremoniously teaching Wang Qiu in a tone of hatred that iron does not become steel, "...... How can there be such a business in this world? Don't you even say what fools people? Even I, who have only sold toilets in the ceramics market, know that the most important thing about this kind of trade is to put a bait first, and then increase the size layer by layer!

Still don't understand what I mean? Ah! You can tell them that the development of a vaccine is a very professional issue, and it is not clear for a while, and if it is better, maybe billions of yen will be enough, but if the virus is more stubborn, it may cost trillions. As for the specific numbers, the pharmaceutical companies will have to analyze them in more detail, but you should also be prepared for the worst. Because the arrival time you require is so urgent, it is equivalent to indirectly limiting the development time of the other party, and they will inevitably open their mouths. The 280 billion yen is just an estimate, and the exact amount depends on whether the specific research process of the vaccine is smooth...... Then, you can keep increasing the price and increasing the price in the process of execution, and you can continue to exploit them until they die of overwork! As far as I know, the doctors in every hospital are basically very good at this. ”

She said this in a gushing voice, making a "step by step" gesture, "...... Won't you learn a little bit? ”

Wang Qiu was almost embarrassed when he heard this, "...... Sister Ma Tong, your idea is good, but you also have to consider the actual endurance of the other party! First of all, a kind-hearted, high-tempered, and thin-skinned guy like Doraemon, if he can really get into the eyes of money and want to make a fortune, I'm afraid that he will already be rich and rival the country! At present, he is forced to lose his temperance by huge debts, which has made him very uncomfortable. If you want him to take advantage of the fire to further rob the survivors of this zombie apocalypse...... Well, if he could do such a thing, he wouldn't be Doraemon!

Secondly, you also know that the yen banknotes of this world are equivalent to waste paper for Doraemon in another world. Therefore, the 280 billion yen we are going to loot this time means that we have to loot 280 billion yen worth of physical objects in this city! In other words, it is equivalent to making up 30,000 high-end sports cars or more than 300 Boeing airliners! And you can't be like the Yankees playing 'quantitative easing', just operate it on the computer, and it will be like magic to conjure hundreds of billions of trillions of dollars! If our asking price is too harsh, we may be able to knock these people back to despair from the hope of espocalypse, and even do something to give up on themselves - so it is not easy for us to scavenge 280 billion yen from this world, so it is better not to be insatiable......

All in all, after a morning of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, although Soichiro Takagi had stuffed his Ferrari into the [automatic pawn machine], and Yuriko Takashiro had donated her gym equipment and jacuzzi, Saya Takagi had taken out her childhood children's clothes, and the members of the "Worrying Country One Heart Association" had also wreaked havoc everywhere, even demolishing the bronze statues in the courtyard...... But in the end, the money put together still seems to be a drop in the bucket.

No way, don't look at the Takajo family was once a noble descendant of the family of the feudal lord Daimyo, but the family did not open a vault after all - in fact, the wealth of the rich and wealthy in the modern world is mainly reflected in their bank accounts, and the safes are no longer gold bars and silver ingots, but checkbooks, bank account vouchers and business contracts. Few people would dig a cellar in their mansion to bury a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, as the rich man did in ancient times! For example, as we all know, Bill Gates is rich in the United States, but if you take someone to raid his villa, then in addition to the real estate of the house itself, even if you pull everything out of the house to the thrift market, I am afraid that it will be enough to sell it for 100 million dollars!

Thanks to the fact that the Takashiro family is a descendant of a famous family, in order to pay attention to the necessary pomp, they collected a lot of antiques and gold and silver crafts from the shogunate period at home. In addition, Madame Yuriko Takashiro is also a person who pursues trends, enjoys life, and likes luxury, and has bought a lot of various Parisian fashion and imported perfumes, so she can finally take out a lot of things to stuff into the [automatic pawn machine]...... But compared to the astronomical figure of 280 billion, it is still far from enough.

“…… In addition to the most basic necessities, we have pawned all the surplus items, and we have made up a total of 500 million yen. ”

Standing in the living room, which was as empty as a locust transiting, Mrs. Yuriko Takashiro ordered someone to push out two large boxes of banknotes in a trolley, and said to Doraemon and the others with a sad face, "...... If it was before the collapse of the world, with my connections and capital on Wall Street in the United States, it would not be difficult to borrow 280 billion yen, or 2.8 billion US dollars, temporarily. But now the whole world is engulfed in zombies, and my Gao Cheng family's bank assets have long been lost...... So, at the moment, the limit of what can be scraped together is already the limit. I wonder if you have a cheaper way to fight the zombie virus today? For example...... Buy more [automatic medical kits] to have? ”

- Small note: Mrs. Yuriko Takashiro used to be a famous financial CEO on Wall Street in the United States, and after marrying Soichiro Takagi, it is said that the assets of the Takashiro family increased by a hundredfold...... It's a pity that all this money is playing speculation in the financial futures market, and the catastrophe will come to naught in an instant.

In this regard, classmate Wang Qiu, who was already mentally prepared, glanced at Doraemon and signaled him to be calm, and at the same time, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he casually flickered to Yuriko Takashiro, "...... This one...... Yes, yes! But Mrs. Takashihiro, you also know that paper money is always depreciating, and the price level in the 22nd century is certainly not comparable to this era, so even if it is an automatic medical kit, it costs 50 million yen each, and it can treat about 30 zombie virus infections......"

- Even though the price is completely nonsense with her eyes open, Lady Yuriko Takashiro can't chase Doraemon to check the account, right?

“…… In other words, this money is only enough to buy ten [automatic medical kits]? I don't think it's enough! ”

Yuriko Takashiro bit her lip and furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, "...... Are there any other cheaper alternatives? Wang Jun? ”

“…… And a little cheaper? Well, it seems that there are some too! Wang Qiu stretched out his hand and scratched his head, tilted his head and thought about it, and then seemed to suddenly realize, raised his hand and took out a green test tube from the carry-on space, "...... Look, madam, this is the trophie I snatched from Ambrera Corporation when Doraemon and I raided the Hive Research Institute, the antiviral serum of the T-virus! It can take effect as long as it is injected into the body of the infected, and it can be manufactured in large quantities with Doraemon's [Replica Mirror] at almost no cost......"

Hearing this, Mrs. Yuriko Takashiro's eyes lit up at once...... Who knew that Wang Qiu would change his words next:

“…… But it only has a 9o% cure rate clinically, and a 1o% chance of dying or becoming a zombie......"

So, Mrs. Yuriko Takashiro's eyes dimmed again with the same speed.

- When they have a safer option, who would want to risk their lives with a 9o% survival rate?
