Chapter 270 The Sky Has Collapsed in the Kingdom of Shanpota

The M country representative next to him quickly took the tablet.

The news was released two minutes ago. It said that China has developed a similar product to Bismuth Substrate, and its efficacy far exceeds that of Bismuth Substrate.

The name of the drug is Mochiqing Oral Solution.

Originally, patients suffering from a certain blood disease could not be cured and needed to take Bis-Extended Releasing Agent produced in Sanpota for life to control their condition.

Now, this blood disease can be cured by taking three to five courses of treatment with Moth Wing Clearing Oral Liquid.

These types of blood diseases are more likely to affect people of Asian descent, so China has the largest number of patients with this disease, with millions of patients every year. Although the populations of other Asian countries are far smaller than those of China, the total number of patients with this disease is about 20 million every year.

It's important to know that the total population of the entire country of Sanpota is only a little over ten million.

Therefore, by monopolizing the Bis-releasing agent, the country of Shanpota has firmly controlled a super-large market with a demand of more than 20 million people, and has made a fortune over the past ten years.

As a result, the revenue from the export of Bismuth substituents accounted for almost half of the country's export trade income.

The M country's congressman stared at the tablet screen, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

His blue eyes trembled as if in an earthquake, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

"I don't believe it either..." His mouth was dry, and his voice trembled slightly. "This...this must be...fake news spread by China..."

He had barely finished speaking when his phone rang.

When I took it out, I saw that it was a call from a high-ranking government official in the United States.

He hurriedly went to the corner to answer the call.

Immediately afterwards, several work phones on the congressman's desk rang, the office door was pushed open, and several men in high-end suits hurried in.

"Sir, the phone lines at the company headquarters are ringing off the hook!"

"Mr. Congressman! Someone from Congress requests to see you!"

"Sir Congressman! Your wife is also looking for you!"

“Mr. Congressman…”

"..."

The sounds of subordinates reporting and the ringing of telephones filled the air.

The Shanpota parliamentarian's mind went blank, then his face grew increasingly pale. He clutched his chest, let out a muffled groan, and collapsed to the ground, unconscious...

...

In the next hour or so.

News about Moth Wing Cleansing Oral Liquid has spread all over the world.

This was all arranged by Shangguan Ying.

At midnight Chinese time, an official press conference was held immediately.

Participants included Mr. Yan and several top experts in the field of the disease, while the media included several authoritative journalists from home and abroad.

At the press conference.

Mr. Yan and others gave a detailed introduction to the efficacy of the moth wing clearing oral liquid and announced that it has achieved mass production, which can not only meet the treatment needs of millions of patients in China, but also supply patients in other countries.

Of course, this was all too sudden, and everyone in the world knew that only the sustained-release formulation of Bismuth subsalicylate, which was monopolized by the country of Sanpota, could stabilize the condition.

Therefore, many reporters present raised questions.

Several top medical experts close to Mr. Yan provided detailed treatment cases and data to answer his questions one by one, convincing those who had doubts.

Then someone asked whether the so-called Moth Wing Clearing Oral Liquid was a copy of the famous Bis-Extended Release Agent, and whether it had stolen its research and development patents and obtained the core raw materials through some shady means.

Mr. Yan and the others remained unfazed by such pointed questions.

They also presented a series of evidence.

First of all, Moth Wing Clearing Oral Liquid is 100% developed independently by China and can withstand any test.

Secondly, as is well known, the Kingdom of Shanpota has extremely strict control over the core raw materials needed to manufacture Bis-releasing agents. Whether openly or secretly, it is impossible for these raw materials to flow into the territory of China.

Finally, the fact that Moth Wing Clearing Oral Liquid can completely cure that blood disease is something that Bis-Extended Release Liquid cannot match, which also proves that this oral liquid is by no means a so-called generic drug.

After perfectly handling the reporters' nitpicking, Mr. Yan stated in front of countless cameras that the price of each box exported from Shanpota to China was tens of yuan. However, after the import trade contract ended last year, Shanpota raised the price on the spot, even attempting to increase the price of each box to one or two thousand yuan!

This kind of behavior, which ignores patients and only seeks exorbitant profits, is despicable!

Once China is able to produce Mochizhiqing oral liquid, it will absolutely not do the same thing again. Therefore, the price of Mochizhiqing oral liquid in China is set at one yuan per box.

One course of treatment requires three boxes.

Patients can be cured after taking three to five courses of treatment. This means that for a total cost of only nine to fifteen yuan, one can completely get rid of this stubborn disease that was previously incurable!

China will not seek exorbitant profits from any foreign countries that need this drug.

Previously, when Shanpo exported bismuth-releasing agents to other countries, the price was clearly selective. If the country had a good relationship with China, the price was ridiculously high, while if the country had a close relationship with Shanpo or a certain Western power, the price was less than ten yuan.

Now, China not only wants to break the monopoly of the Kingdom of Shanpota, but also to uphold the principle of not caring about national relations or interests, but only seeking to save people all over the world who are suffering from this disease.

Therefore, from now on, regardless of which country the Mochi Wing Cleansing Oral Liquid is exported to, it will be exported at a unit price of no more than five yuan per box!

Actually, this was also Ning Jinli's idea.

Because, based on the overall production costs of Moth Wing Clearing Oral Liquid, the supply of main raw materials is sufficient, allowing costs to be reduced to an extremely low level.

She didn't want to use it to make a profit; she only hoped to help patients alleviate their suffering, so she decided to put it on the market at cost price.

When Mr. Yan announced the price, the entire press conference hall fell silent for several seconds.

Then came a continuous burst of enthusiastic applause.

Several foreign journalists were moved to tears, because one of them was a patient with a blood disease, and others had family members with illnesses.

Although the blood disease can be stabilized with bismuth subsalicylate, the patient used to have to take the medication every day, and the accumulated medication costs over the years were not a small amount.

Moreover, the sustained-release formulation of Bismuth subsalicylate has certain side effects. Although long-term use can stabilize the condition, it can also make patients' physical strength and energy much worse than normal people, making it impossible for them to work.

China has developed a new type of drug that is unbelievably cheap and can completely cure the disease. It is no exaggeration to call it a savior for millions of patients!

The enthusiastic applause lasted for more than ten minutes.

Under the spotlight, Mr. Yan and a group of Chinese medical experts were also moved to tears.

It was so difficult...

For more than a decade, they have been bullied to an extreme degree by the Kingdom of Sanpota, and only they know the bitterness they have endured.

Mr. Yan really wanted to thank Ning Jinli in front of the whole world at this moment.

Because she deserves a share of the applause right now.

If she hadn't solved the most crucial raw material problem, who knows when this scene would have happened today.

However, due to Ning Jinli's special identity, which involves top domestic secrets, it is not advisable to expose her to the international public. Otherwise, if she were to attract the attention of certain countries, it could cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Mr. Yan could only suppress this thought, and he and several experts stood up and bowed slightly in response to the applause, thus ending the press conference.

...

The next morning.

Piltover was awakened by a muffled roar in his ears.

He groggily opened his eyes and found himself on the same private jet he had taken to China.

Outside the cabin window, white clouds drifted past below the wings.

He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and shouted, "How did I get here? Where am I supposed to go?!"

As soon as he cried out, a sharp pain shot through his cheek, as if countless needles were piercing his brain along the neural pathways of his cheek, making his head feel like it was going to explode.

He also discovered that he had a lisp.

"Mr. Piltover! You're awake!" The secretary rushed over and supported his shoulder. "Your jaw is dislocated, and you have a minor fracture, and... you've lost a few teeth... Don't move around too much. We'll take you to the hospital for further treatment after we get back to Sanpota."

Piltover was dumbfounded.

Dislocation of the mandible?

A bone fracture?

You've also lost a tooth?

What... what exactly is going on?

"The contract... has the contract been signed?" he asked, rubbing his forehead.

The secretary's face darkened. "Don't you remember what happened last night?"

“Last night…” Pierto frowned, trying to recall.

Vague fragments of memory gradually surfaced in my mind, then slowly became clearer, and finally pieced together.

"The contract wasn't signed?! Have I been tricked?!" He suddenly stood up, his head hitting the top of the cabin with a thud, almost making him faint from the pain again.

The secretary quickly helped him up. "Mr. Pierto... Miss Ning said that you'd better never set foot in China again. If she runs into you, she won't show the same mercy as she did last night."

Pierto recalled the scene before he lost consciousness.

That's right...

I remember now.

He was knocked unconscious by that woman with a single slap!

"Hiss..." Pierto covered his face, shivering, and asked in horror, "My injury... was it caused by her slap?"

The secretary's eyes also showed fear. She nodded and said, "Yes... Oh, I forgot to tell you, you have a mild concussion. Please sit down."

Pierto slowly sat back down, feeling uneasy, and touched his arm. "Get me another blanket. I feel... cold."

He couldn't believe that the seemingly gentle and beautiful young woman was so terrifying, and he couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

His secretary brought him two thick blankets and covered him with them, which made him feel a little better.

Then he asked what happened after he was knocked unconscious last night, and why the Chinese side dared to treat him like that.

The secretary brought a laptop, placed it on the table in front of him, and opened a video. "This is the press conference held in China last night, Mr. Pierto. You should watch it yourself... I'll go get you something to eat."

Considering that Pierto's face was injured on one side, he couldn't eat hard foods.

The secretary asked the chef to make a creamy mushroom and meat sauce soup.

However, when she returned to Pierto's side with the soup, Pierto had already fainted from the shock of watching the press conference...

...

A few hours later.

Inside a top-tier private hospital in Santorini.

After an overnight emergency treatment, the congressman regained consciousness.

He opened his eyes and immediately looked at the clock on the wall; it would soon be 8 a.m., the time when European stock exchanges would open.

"Quickly... quick, bring me the computer!"

The councilor shouted at the top of his lungs.

The nurse entered the ward upon hearing the noise and said that he was not feeling well and needed to rest quietly.

But he didn't care and insisted on having the computer.

The nurse had no choice but to notify his subordinates.

A moment later, his subordinate came in and, unable to refuse him, placed the laptop in front of him.

The congressman disregarded everything else and immediately opened the stock trading interface, staring intently at the screen.

Time passed second by second.

The market finally opened.

The moment the opening stock price of Bess Pharmaceuticals was displayed, the congressman felt a chill run down his spine.

The stock price plummeted immediately upon opening.

He fell to a point where he would be completely ruined and utterly destroyed.

"No...no..." The congressman's face was contorted with rage as he quickly opened other websites to search for news. "This is just a temporary plunge caused by the fake news that broke in China last night. I can still turn things around. I still have a chance!"

Unfortunately, reality soon dealt him a fatal blow.

Numerous news reports about Huaxia Guoe Chiqing Oral Liquid from last night appeared before his eyes.

He saw the press conference content.

We have also seen that all countries that originally needed to import Bismuth-releasing agents, including those that have friendly relations with China, have announced that they have reached import cooperation agreements with China.

Bis-Extended Release Agents... were completely abandoned by the whole world overnight.

The possibility of the group turning things around has been completely eliminated.

This most influential and powerful member of parliament in Santorini has now fallen from grace.

No, it should be said that the sky has fallen over the entire country of Sanpota.

The senator stared blankly at the computer screen until it went dark, revealing his face, which looked as if he had aged more than ten years.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the ward.

Reporters have arrived to interview him, but this is not a good thing.

"How's things going with the group?" the councilor asked, his lips trembling.

The subordinate, his face covered in cold sweat, forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, don't worry about it for now. I'll go and chase the reporters away!"

"Stop!" The congressman said, his heart filled with despair. "I demand that you tell me the truth, what exactly happened!"

The subordinate stopped in his tracks, gritting his teeth as he said, "The Congress previously spent a large sum of money to buy our group's stock, and with last night's press conference... even before the market opens today, everyone knows what's going to happen, so... those people are holding the group accountable, and for now, the group's senior management is taking the blame. In addition, your wife's family, along with a large group of people who also invested heavily in the stock, have stormed into the group's building. The situation is... very chaotic."

"Where is the M country's envoy...?" the congressman asked.

The subordinate pursed his lips, not wanting to say anything more.

Bang!

A loud bang.

The ward door was violently forced open.

Several bodyguards were unable to stop the surging crowd and stumbled and fell to the ground.

A group of reporters filed in.

Just as the congressman's subordinates were about to step forward to stop him, an enraged figure rushed out from the crowd and knocked him to the ground with a single punch.

The congressman looked at the newcomer in horror, "Commissioner...you...you..."

The other party was none other than the M country envoy, his face filled with anger and despair. He rushed to the bedside, pulled a sharp dagger from his waist, and roared, "You've ruined everything I have! I'm going to kill you!"
