Chapter 815 The World's Number One Caravan! Benson: This is a miracle drug! Thanks to the Alliance Leader [Qidian Ma Feifei]!
As dusk fell, the twilight deepened.
As Chen Yansen walked out of Orange Bio's R&D center and was about to get into his car, he received news that the clinical trial of BrainShield had been approved.
This speed surprised him slightly, but after a moment's thought, he understood the reason.
In life, people are almost always driven by lust in their youth, greed for wealth in their middle age, and a desire for longevity in their old age.
Once you are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, it means losing your power and autonomy, and no one wants to accept such an outcome.
Therefore, despite the irregularities in the approval process for BrainShield, many people are already impatient.
With two super-rich individuals, Bill Gates and Benson, setting an example, many people are eagerly anticipating BrainShield's first phase of human clinical trials.
Chen Yansen stood still, opened the Yunzhou office software, and urged Song Yongping of Orange Medical to select suitable trial patients as soon as possible.
After finishing his work, he got into the car and said to the driver, Huang Boxiang, "Let's go home."
go home?
Which home should I go back to?
Old Huang carefully studied the boss's tone and determined the destination in just three seconds. He then sped off towards Yujing Villa.
This is the most valuable part of the job!
Before long, a recruitment notice for drug trials spread among patients in Luzhou and even throughout Huian Province.
Brain shield, as the name suggests, is a shield for the brain and a guardian of the brain's nerves.
This is a novel targeted drug made from active ingredients extracted from Super Rice 2000, which has the effect of inhibiting and repairing Alzheimer's disease.
At first, no one believed the propaganda.
It wasn't until someone saw reports on an overseas news website that Bill Gates and Benson each invested $100 million in Baichen Pharmaceuticals that they suddenly realized what had happened.
Some people believe that a new drug that has caught the eye of America's super-rich may actually have some medicinal effects.
Others believe that this is simply an industry practice by Bill Gates and Benson to secure the right to use the BrainShield in advance.
It should be understood that if a new drug is sold to patients without authorization before it has obtained the necessary qualifications for market sales, the person in charge may face imprisonment, regardless of whether any accidents occur.
Therefore, on the first day the recruitment notice was posted, there were very few applicants, only 19 people, while Song Yongping's goal was 100 people.
Seeing this, the recruitment scope had to be expanded to the whole country, and it was full in less than a day.
The reason is simple: although new drugs have potential risks and unknown side effects, firstly, there is a reward to be made, and secondly, for critically ill patients, it is a last resort.
For those with severe Alzheimer's disease who are unable to care for themselves, their families bear enormous pressure.
Families with ample financial resources can barely manage, but families with average incomes must have someone take time off work to care for the patient.
One person doesn't earn money, yet has to spend all day taking care of patients.
As the saying goes, "There are no filial sons at the bedside of a chronically ill patient," and it is difficult for a normal person to bear such a burden for a long time.
This is also the main reason why many people are willing to take the risk of signing up; they are simply driven to desperation by their illness.
In 2015, the number of Alzheimer's patients in China exceeded 15 million.
One patient means a family that is burdened.
Therefore, the emergence of Brain Shield has given countless people a glimmer of hope.
In addition, since this drug is a product of Senlian Group, the number of applicants who wanted to sign up for the next day was even greater, but by then the recruitment window had already closed.
However, Orange Medical also revealed that once the drug regulatory authorities complete the pharmacological mechanism analysis of BrainShield, they will immediately launch a phase II clinical trial to shorten the research and development cycle and bring the new drug to market faster.
However, many people know that this process takes at least six months and at most a year, and cannot be completed overnight.
The next two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the 618 shopping festival officially kicked off.
With less intense competition than in previous years, this year's mid-year sales promotion was exceptionally mild, but the sales growth rate was still impressive.
At that time, the economy was growing rapidly, middle-aged people were busy buying cars and houses, while young people were keen to buy electronic products, sneakers and affordable luxury clothing.
For example, a pair of the original Yeezy shoes, which had an initial retail price of only 1,899 yuan, was resold for 8,000 to 10,000 yuan.
It might be hard to imagine a decade or two from now, but in 2015, the economy was booming, people's incomes were rising steadily, and their enthusiasm for consumption was extremely high.
These days, as long as you dare to change jobs, employers are often willing to give you a salary increase of more than 30%.
A bolder worker can double or triple their salary by changing jobs three times in three years.
Stop saying that frequent job hopping makes you unstable!
Less than 10% of startups survive for two years, yet employees are expected to work for a company for five or eight years. Is that reasonable?
For Chen Yansen, his strategy was a great success.
Despite increasing the delivery fees for Kuaipao delivery services, the daily order volume across the country remains stable at 70 million, with hundreds of thousands of orders added every week.
At this rate, the daily order volume nationwide could exceed 80 million by the end of the year.
At that time, the total number of full-time riders in Kuaipao Delivery's delivery capacity will exceed 1 million, plus 2 million part-time riders, making it a modern version of the "First Caravan".
Looking at Yunsu Express, the number of its employees is also expanding rapidly.
The growth rate accelerated even more after entering the Southeast Asian, European and North American markets.
With a global daily order volume exceeding 60 million and 470,000 couriers, it has become the second largest logistics complex after the postal service.
at the same time.
Monsanto faces more than 100,000 lawsuits with claims totaling $570 billion.
CEO Grant and the company's top management were at a loss and could only contact the industry business association in an attempt to quell the matter.
However, the massive lawsuits involving more than 40 countries and over 100,000 victims worldwide are difficult even for business associations to resolve.
After some discussion, they initially formulated a "delaying tactic" solution.
First, they feign impending bankruptcy to break down the victims' psychological defenses.
Then, by packaging and settling the matter, the amount of compensation claimed can be reduced as much as possible.
Finally, Monsanto's patents were split up!
Simply put, Monsanto can go bankrupt, but its core R&D team cannot be disbanded.
On the other side.
Benson, far away in California, was sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused.
Ironically, he was holding a sample of the brain shield in his hand, but he hesitated to take it.
He dared not try it before the medical team had determined the drug's true efficacy and potential side effects.
The richer you are, the more afraid you are of dying!
But in the last two days, he has gradually been unable to hold on any longer.
The doctor told him that his condition was worsening and that even with daily medication, the effect would be minimal.
In the opulent manor, Benson sat in front of the fireplace, warming himself by the flames.
In a daze, he seemed to see his mother when he was twenty years old, and subconsciously murmured, "Mom, have you come to pick me up?"
"Ta-da!"
Just then, a series of crisp footsteps sounded behind me, followed by a soft exclamation: "Mr. Benson!"
Benson slowly turned around, revealing a pale face covered with wrinkles and age spots.
Compared to two weeks ago, she seems to have aged considerably.
"Mr. Benson, after two weeks of observation, the test subject's condition has improved significantly."
He was originally a moderate Alzheimer's patient, but is now showing signs of transitioning to mild Alzheimer's.
The family doctor quickly reported this.
He was paid a high salary by Benson and naturally didn't want his boss to die prematurely.
High-quality clients like Benson are few and far between.
Are there any side effects?
Benson's lips twitched, and an undisguised joy appeared in his eyes.
In fact, he no longer cared about the side effects.
He knew in his heart that after a while, he would probably completely lose his self-awareness and become like a clay figure, at the mercy of others.
The thought of such a tragic situation made him unable to resist taking out the bottle of expensive medicine that he had bought for 100 million US dollars from his pocket.
The family doctor, looking at his trembling hands, added, "No obvious side effects have been found so far! The trial participants' conditions have not only improved, but their gastrointestinal function has also improved."
Researchers speculate that this may be due to the active amino acids in the drug, which can slow the rise in blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and help maintain gut health.
After he finished speaking, he placed before-and-after photos of the test subjects in front of Benson.
"That's good"
Benson muttered to himself, a glimmer of light rekindling in his cloudy eyes.
After saying that, he no longer hesitated, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured out a light blue capsule.
The capsules have a faint, pleasant fragrance, which is the unique scent of the active ingredients in Super Rice 2000.
He didn't drink water; instead, he placed the capsule under his tongue and let it slowly slide into his stomach.
Having done all this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, slumped onto the sofa, his eyes fixed on the flickering flames in the fireplace, as if awaiting his fate.
"Mr. Benson, you need to lie down and rest. We will monitor your vital signs in real time."
The doctor said softly.
The medical team behind him immediately stepped forward and connected various monitoring instruments to Benson.
In the manor's monitoring room, Benson's heart rate, blood pressure, brain waves, and other data were displayed on the screen in real time.
About six hours later, the activity of brain waves began to increase significantly, and the previously disordered waveforms gradually became regular.
The monitoring personnel had anticipated this and remained calm, reporting simultaneously: "Cerebral blood flow has increased by 12%, hippocampal metabolic activity has improved, and neurotransmitter secretion is stabilizing! The medication is precisely repairing damaged neural synapses!"
Benson lay on the hospital bed in his bedroom with his eyes closed.
The persistent headache caused by the nervous disorder subsided quietly, the tense muscles in my temples slowly relaxed, and the involuntary twitching at the corner of my mouth also stopped.
His tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly, his breathing changed from rapid to long and steady, and his chest rose and fell rhythmically.
Benson's consciousness seemed to slowly break free from a bottomless quagmire. The chaotic fog that had filled his mind gradually dissipated, and those fragmented, illogical, and chaotic memories slowly faded away, replaced by clear perception.
He could clearly smell the aroma of burning firewood in the fireplace mixed with the faint fragrance of gardenias in the manor, hear the rustling of branches in the evening breeze outside the window, and hear the faint buzzing of the monitoring equipment.
When he woke up again, it was the next morning.
He tried turning his neck, and this time there was no stiffness or dizziness as before; the movement was smooth and natural.
Slowly opening my eyes, the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling was no longer a blurry spot of light; the facets of each crystal were clearly visible, refracting a soft glow.
His gaze moved slowly, sweeping over the medical equipment in the room, the doctors and nurses in white coats, and finally landing on the flickering flames in the fireplace.
This was the first time he had woken up so comfortably since being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease three years ago.
My mind is noticeably clearer!
"This medicine is amazing!"
Benson's eyes widened, and he secretly thought that the $100 million was well worth the money.
The effect is so remarkable after just one pill. If you take dozens of pills, wouldn't you be able to turn back the clock?
Of course, this was not his imagination.
The active ingredients in Brain Shield do have some cell repair effects, but the effect is not very obvious.
However, long-term use can indeed help the body maintain its current healthy state.
That afternoon, Benson appeared at the club.
When he meets with company executives or talks with players from his team, his every word and action reveals that he is still the same quick-thinking business tycoon.
The news quickly spread throughout Wall Street!
Upon learning of this, Bill Gates no longer hesitated and immediately decided to have his father use a brain shield.
A week later, when a radiant Benson appeared in court and won his second trial against his children, the entire wealthy community in North America was astonished.
They were all aware of Benson's physical condition beforehand.
If he weren't mentally unstable, how could his children and grandchildren dare to openly take him to court?
Everyone immediately thought of the new drug that was still in the clinical trial stage: NeuroGuard!
NeuroGuard and Super Rice 2000 quickly became the focus of discussion among North American upper-class society.
The former can repair brain nerve cells, improve intestinal function, and enhance physical activity.
The latter is the source of the core ingredient of this "miracle drug".
Some people wanted to buy medicine directly from Chen Yansen, while others wanted to buy rice seeds of Super Rice 2000.
But after learning that Bill Gates and Benson both paid a price of $100 million, many people hesitated.
A pill that costs millions of US dollars, who can afford to take this stuff?
Bill Gates and Benson also realized this problem. They couldn't possibly spend $100 million again to buy only 24 NeuroGuard pills next time, could they?
Therefore, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded.
Wall Street and Silicon Valley bigwigs are using their connections and networks to push NeuroGuard's human clinical trial review process.
As a result, before BrainShield could obtain approval for Phase II trials in China, Baichen Pharmaceuticals had already obtained permission for simultaneous Phase I and Phase II clinical trials in North America.
In principle, a new drug needs to undergo one to four years of rigorous review before it can be marketed.
But these bigwigs on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley are precisely the ones who can influence or even rewrite "principles".
rule?
It has always been a tool used by the strong to restrain the weak, an unchanging truth throughout history!
Soon, groups of overseas visitors traveled across the sea to China, ostensibly to pay a visit, but in reality to seek cooperation with Chen Yansen on the Super Rice 2000 and NeuroGuard projects.
At the same time.
Far away in a prison in Addis Ababa, Khalid met his mortal killer—the Abyssinian Grand President Leggi—before his execution.
Are you Saif's man?
Looking at Khalid, who was covered in wounds, Leggi asked calmly.
"Guess." Khalid grinned, his face clearly defiant, despite the excruciating pain.
"Don't get me wrong, I was just asking casually."
Leggi said dismissively, then waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to take him away and carry out the execution.
"If I tell you, will you let me go?"
Nobody wants to die, and Khalid is no exception.
“Of course,” Leggi replied with certainty.
Khalid hesitated for a long time before finally whispering his confession and revealing his overseas bank card number and safe deposit box password.
After getting the answer he wanted, Legge lost patience and left the prison.
As for Khalid, he's doomed!
Legge never keeps his word with the dead.
As Senlian Group's influence in Abyssinia grows and its business penetrates various industries, a small group of dissenting voices have gradually emerged in the country.
They secretly labeled the Senlian Group and the Chinese as colonizers, believing that Leggeji had betrayed national interests.
However, these voices have little impact, after all, Senlian Group has provided a large number of jobs, allowing countless people to have enough to eat.
The addition of Orange Healthcare and hospitals has significantly improved the healthcare experience for ordinary people.
If people are well-fed and warmly clothed, no one will want to cause trouble.
When others suspect you of colonization, you'd better actually have the capability to do so.
Otherwise, you'll just have to wait to get beaten up.
After learning of the group's existence, Leggeji simply sent them to the industrial area and arranged jobs for them with a monthly salary of $300.
Before long, these people began to feel grateful to Leggi and Chen Yansen.
The speed of change is astonishing!
