Xiaobu is now in a state of happy trouble. On the one hand, he is praised by the capital behind him, on the other hand, he is scolded by ordinary people.
There is a lot of money to be made from vaccines and special medicines. In addition to their domestic markets, other national markets such as Europe have also brought rich returns to Xiaobu.
Especially vaccines, the average wholesale price to Europe is more than one hundred dollars to nearly two hundred dollars per dose, and the retail price is no less than one thousand dollars.
Even so, the demand still cannot keep up with the supply!
"Taufiq!" Xiaobu drew his attention back from the video and said thoughtfully, "You said that Dongda sent Zeng Wangcai to California to provide free vaccines and drugs. What is the real intention?"
The information that Taufik brought was Xiaobu's recently drastically dropped approval rating, which is also Xiaobu's biggest trouble recently.
The decline in support rate began with Zeng Wangcai's free medicine distribution.
It’s free for everyone else, why do you charge a thousand dollars?
One thousand dollars is one thousand dollars, the key is that it is not easy to grab.
"According to preliminary statistics, the vaccines and drugs distributed by Zeng Wangcai in California did not exceed our capacity, so it's hard to say." Tao Feiqi bowed his head. "If they did not operate according to the agreement, we have reason to suspect that they have ulterior motives, but in fact they do not. We estimated the number of vaccines provided by Dongda to its allies and their own number. They did only keep the number in the agreement and did not exceed it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, we suspected that TU would sell vaccines and drugs to Europe. Now we can rule out this suspicion. Some European countries did contact TU, but TU did not deliver any."
"......"
This made Xiaobu unable to understand.
They analyzed at the time that Zeng Wangcai was afraid of having his assets confiscated, so he persuaded the University of East China Sea, which was afraid of global suppression, to cooperate with him. His secret plan was to use vaccines and drugs to disintegrate their alliance and secretly sell vaccines and drugs to Europe.
It turns out not to be.
Moreover, they are about to successfully develop a vaccine and will soon get rid of their dependence on the University of Tokyo. Although the drug cannot be copied and there is no new research and development progress, it is still a good thing to have one less thing.
Since they are not using drugs and vaccines, but are sending Zeng Wangcai to distribute drugs for free in California, is this really charity?
"Sir, we have discussed it." Tawfik continued, "There are two ways to solve the current situation. First, we lower the price but do not make it free. Let the low-priced vaccines and drugs regain your support rate..."
"No!" Xiao Bu decisively rejected the proposal. "The loss from lowering the price is too great. They won't agree. Support is important, but their support is more important. Now there is no war trouble. Low support will not lead to other problems. We just need to get the support back before the election."
Xiaobu's family are all politicians, and they are very familiar with the timing of dealing with support rates and what the core priorities are.
For them now, as long as they don’t have a big problem like losing a war, other troubles are not too troublesome.
"Okay!" Taofik shrugged and turned to the second solution. "Then we can only think of a way from Zeng Wangcai. Sir, I suggest you call him and ask him to stop distributing free medicine. This way, our trouble will naturally be gone."
What kind of bullshit is this?
If he had listened to me, would we be in this situation today?
Xiaobu glared at Taofik and lost confidence in his staff and advisors.
"I think Zeng Wangcai's purpose in helping Mane is nothing more than to separate California." Xiaobu's IQ is still online, "Don't forget, our constitution gives them the power, they can hold a referendum, and if the referendum succeeds, they will achieve their goal, and the time they can initiate a referendum is approaching.
"They are using free medicine to gain support, and then they are doing their best to prevent and control the virus in California. But they only have six months. Can they succeed in six months?"
Six months does not refer to the six months required to resolve the virus in California, but rather to the fact that there are more than six months left after the one-year ceasefire agreement.
That is to say, more than six months later, the Eagle Sauce army can continue its previous offensive.
"Sir, we don't think it's a good decision to continue the offensive after six months," Tawfik objected. "When we can continue the offensive depends on how well we control the virus.
"At the current rate, we can't get enough vaccines from the University of the East."
"Haha!" Xiao Bu sneered, "Dongda used this to restrict us at the time, but don't forget that our own vaccine research and development is almost successful. With the stockpiled Dongda drugs and the effective time of the vaccine, it won't be a problem to control it. I guess they will start a referendum in five months at most, and then all the troubles can be solved together."
Xiaobu's confidence was based on the arrangements made on various battlefields during this period.
Their previous preparations for the counterattack were not very sufficient, but after the ceasefire period, this insufficiency no longer existed. Both the Little Overlord and the Slippers Army had a large amount of equipment.
Once the fighting begins, the military is confident of winning on both battlefields.
In addition, since Xiaobawang succeeded in taking over his neighbor, Xiaobu won three major battles by himself.
So he believed that as long as he won the war, all the troubles would be gone and his support rate would increase significantly.
"Sir, we have discussed the issue of starting a war before!" Tawfik continued to object, "We believe that the military is too optimistic about the outcome of the offensive. While we are preparing, the enemy is also preparing."
"I know!" Xiao Bu was still confident, "As long as Dongda doesn't take action himself, there won't be any problems. If there really is... we will take the most severe measures!"
Taofik's face suddenly changed color. He knew that the most severe measure Xiaobu mentioned was...nuclear war!
It is obviously not honorable to use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear village, but the Eagle Sauce does not care about this. Judging from Xiaobu's appearance, this matter has obviously been discussed and put on the agenda.
......
"What are you afraid of about a referendum? Start the referendum process according to your constitution, and you will be safe. Then you can go to other states and give speeches and canvass for votes.
"Once the referendum passes, you can name California. You don't really think that we can solve everything by distributing free medicine?"
Zeng Wangcai is trying hard to persuade Mane to visit each state before launching the referendum, just like the presidential election.
But Mane didn't want to go. He believed that the referendum was important, but life was more important.
"Sir, being legal is one thing, but actually doing something is another." Mane said with a pale face, "In our history, there have been cases of presidents being assassinated. Do you think the president is legal or not?
"Let me tell you this, I've been assassinated several times."
"Afraid? Can I go with you?"
"I will go if you accompany me."
"......"
