Chapter 102: I Am the God of Medicine

In fact, how Ling Muyun and Ye Chuxia would develop in the end, Qi Lin didn't care too much.

He was sure that as he achieved more and more, the two men would become more uncomfortable.

So, just be yourself.

Moreover, it is not surprising that jealousy, once it explodes, can prompt people to do a lot of irrational things.

Qi Lin was looking forward to what they could do.

So his research is also progressing steadily.

Academically, though, Qi Lin doesn't have any problems. His ability to learn, combined with his experience and understanding of the nature of life, has made the research process progressive.

The problem arose in other areas.

"Teacher, why are more and more people coming to talk to me lately, and the level is getting higher and higher? ”

Nervousness is fake, strangeness is real.

Zilin has now started his own independent research, and he has proven his worth over the past four years.

But one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a teacher. Professor Zhang's character and knowledge, Qi Lin is respectful, he is naturally not like those protagonists in Xianxia fantasy, he is stronger than his predecessors, so let his predecessors call him teacher.

If that kind of thing is done, it will be life-saving.

Professor Zhang was also very helpless, the situation he had encountered in the past few days was similar to Qi Lin.

"Something happened out there, public opinion was a little unstable, and we are now very valued by the top. It's both pressure and motivation. ”

Professor Zhang is old, but he doesn't like this kind of too much pressure.

But he couldn't help it.

Qi Lin didn't pay attention to the outside world at all, and asked Professor Zhang very strangely when he heard this: "What is going on outside?

Professor Zhang cleared his mind.

"A few days ago, a movie was released in our country, called "The Road of Life", which was about medicine. The main story is that imported drugs are sky-high and patients can't afford them. And there are pirated ~ drugs abroad, the efficacy is the same, but the price is one percent of the genuine drugs. The actor relied on smuggling these medicines to get them to the country to give them to those patients, and finally went to prison for selling pirated ~ versions. ”

Qi Lin's eyes narrowed.

He understood the heart of the contradiction in seconds.

At the same time, another important point was discovered.

"This movie is a big box office?"

"Very high, record-breaking high, it is a phenomenal god film, the global weekly box office champion, and in the end, it will most likely be the second in domestic film history, so it has aroused heated discussions among the people. The people's sentiment is boiling, and the people are generally on the side of the patients, and it is difficult to do it. ”

Qi Lin nodded, "No wonder we've become so popular recently, I see." This is a contradiction between the maintenance of patent rights and the protection of vulnerable groups. Both parties must be protected, and the above is indeed a headache. ”

The will of the people is the foundation of the country.

And the law is the conscience of the state.

Qi Lin can actually understand the existence of those sky-high drugs, and even he insists that these sky-high drugs must exist.

Four years of research career is enough for him to understand how huge the investment in drug research and development is.

You can't afford to leave these R&D dollars unrewarded, otherwise no one will continue to do research. Once a virtuous circle cannot be formed, then no new drugs will be developed, and only the people will be harmed in the end.

No one will be a saint.

But the existence of sky-high drugs does make many people unaffordable.

There is no solution to this contradiction.

Poverty is always the most difficult disease to cure.

Even Qi Lin at this moment can't fundamentally solve this problem.

He took the time to read "The Road of Life" and then discussed it with Professor Zhang.

"There's nothing wrong with the values of this film, and the protagonist knows that what he's doing is wrong, and he can't help it. The crux of the matter lies in the fact that this contradiction cannot be resolved, and the system is an all-powerful backstabber. Many people will ask why other countries can copy it, but our country does not even allow it to be bought and sold. ”

Professor Zhang nodded and said helplessly: "The problem is here, not everyone can understand the difficulty and cost of research and development like us." ”

In the movie, someone asked why Gleevec is so expensive? A bottle costs tens of thousands of dollars?

No one in the movie answers this question.

But both Qi Lin and Professor Zhang can answer: because what you can buy is already a second drug, and the price of the first drug is billions of dollars.

They are all engaged in drug research, and they are naturally no strangers to Gleevec.

It took 50 years and more than $5 billion invested in the drug from the discovery of the target to its approval.

So it can't be sold cheaply.

The weak certainly deserve sympathy, but patents must be protected and the law must be defended, otherwise there is no qualification to be called a great power. It is also impossible for the state to reverse the clock on the patent system, which is an insult to itself.

Therefore, there is no solution to the contradiction.

The only thing that is likely to alleviate this contradiction is internal research and development and the country's huge investment in improving the social security system.

The latter has nothing to do with Professor Qi Lin Zhang, it is the former that has something to do with them.

"No one is a saint, and it is normal for foreign medicines, developed by others, and with high tariffs, to be expensive in other countries. What we can do is to develop our own drugs that have the same or even better effects. When the time comes, it is up to us to set the price. ”

"So, our position has become important. Little Wind, isn't it Alexander?"

"There are some, but if you can change the world through your own efforts, why not do it? How many people have dreamed of changing the world, but only a few people can achieve their goals in the end. Professor Zhang, how fortunate we are to be a part of this through our own efforts. ”

Professor Zhang laughed: "Xiaofeng, I like your vigor and confidence the most. This kind of temperament is what we need most for old guys. ”

"Let's encourage ourselves to become a better version of ourselves, to build a better country, and to save millions of people. ”

Love knows no bounds.

At this moment, Qi Lin really felt that his soul had been sublimated, although he had not actually made any progress in essence at all.

But Qi Lin enjoyed the feeling.

"I've always been on the side of reason, not the underprivileged. But if you can be reasonable and help the disadvantaged, why not?"

At this moment, Qi Lin actually didn't think that more than half of the profits of the Ling family were obtained by selling imported high-priced drugs, and he didn't know that the Ling family's stock was plummeting now.

Many times, you just need to focus on improving yourself instead of wasting time suppressing others.

When you are strong enough to a certain extent, a lot of things will happen naturally. ()
