Chapter 468 I Want to Be a Spare Tire Too
Changshan County's new drug almost overwhelmingly crushed the entire empire's past cancer system, and the damaged stakeholders formed an extremely large group, including cancer experts, doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, etc.
They tried their best to resist, slander and discredit Changshan County's new medicine, and spread rumors everywhere.
Lin Wen fought tit-for-tat against them through advertisements, programs, Q&A sessions with special guests, and popular science.
Under the guidance of Lin Wen, the Changxie Department has become increasingly mature, and its leader Cao Yuan is showing a trend of transforming from an ambitious person to a qualified official.
They have deeply understood that they should say what the common people want to hear, talk about what the common people care about, and talk about what the common people like to hear.
They not only promoted the benefits of Changshan County's new drugs, but also used various funny variety show talk shows to satirize the ugly appearance of those vested interests who jumped up and down when they suffered losses.
For ordinary people, what could be more exciting than laughing at the high and mighty nobles?
Is there anything more pleasing than seeing them in such an ugly state?
The programs of the Chang Xie Department became a hit on all radio channels. Although the officials of the empire were unhappy because they felt sorry for the other party, they all watched the fun from the other side of the river.
It’s better for them to stay out of the fight between the big guys.
The result of neutrality is that the market speaks for itself, that is, Changshan County's programs are very popular. No matter what time they are broadcast, the ratings are extremely hot and the reputation is excellent.
No one likes to watch the medical group's promotional programs that are full of arrogance and superiority. They act condescendingly and seem to tell you that you should like this and hate that.
No one criticized it, but the audience chose to vote with their feet, and the ratings were dismal.
The loser was naturally unwilling to give in, and turned around to try to learn the style of Changshan County, but failed again.
The outcome was naturally a disastrous defeat.
Their method of using medical accidents to create a sensation was also exposed. It did not have any effect and instead brought them into disgrace.
Furthermore, agents from the Changqing Bureau were enforcing the law across state lines. They extended the law enforcement authority of Changshan County to the entire empire, often breaking down doors and shouting, "Changqing Bureau agents! Hands up!"
"You have committed the crime against humanity of defaming Changshan County's new drug. You have the right to remain silent, but you must pay for the consequences."
"The Changqing Bureau is enforcing the law. Who dares to stop me? Get down on the ground, raise your limbs high, and move towards me!"
The rumormongers were arrested one after another and taken back to Changshan County for trial.
Since Lin Wen’s previous achievements were still fresh in people’s minds, and he had just trampled to death the representative of the entire empire’s medical group, no one wanted to provoke this mad dog at this time, and they could only accept it with a pinch of their nose.
Qin Luoshuang wisely chose not to go to the enemy's territory to enforce the law across states, so the Changqing Bureau's operation went very smoothly and greatly undermined the enemy's arrogance.
Cao Yuan and Chen Sheng pursued and exposed all the bad things the council had done, which completely ignited the pent-up anger of the people.
How many innocent people have been killed or injured by shell companies selling fake drugs and damaged medical devices? How many ordinary people have been disfigured, suffered lifelong disabilities, or died simply because they trusted Johnson & Johnson's products?
The black material obtained by the agents of the Changqing Bureau and the KGB was extremely detailed, and even the process of their production of substandard products was filmed.
Every scene is shocking. They dug out a lot of waste cotton from the garbage dump and recycled a lot of used cloth from medical waste. They mixed them directly into the production line without disinfection, and produced a lot of poisonous cotton swabs and bacterial bandages.
Once the incident was exposed, the major regions of the entire empire were in an uproar, and the condemnation was overwhelming. Every day, hundreds of thousands of people petitioned the Supreme Council of Elders, demanding severe punishment for the Johnson Group.
Johnson & Johnson's product sales plummeted in an instant, and emergency letters from various departments of the Council flew to the Winter Palace like snowflakes. No matter how they clarified or threatened to sue the whistleblower, it was of no avail.
Yu Zhongxian was forced to divest the cancer industry, forcing Johnson & Johnson to declare bankruptcy and reorganization, and handing over the entire top management of the group to take the blame.
Although Yu Zhongxian bought back most of the properties with the assistance of Elder Lin Yabo and the group was reborn, the losses were still incalculable.
The Council suffered an unprecedented blow, its financial income plummeted, and Yu Zhongxian was forced to sell some unimportant industries, divest many peripheral assets, close several biochemical bases, and retain only a few core bases.
Compared with the Council's peak period a year ago, Yu Zhongxian's power has shrunk by nearly half.
However, he still retained hope of a comeback.
If Wang Xinwei can destroy Changshan County’s R&D base.
If the spy can get Changshan County’s new drug process.
Then, everything that is vomited out now can be made up for.
What's more, Yu Zhongxian's power has not been damaged in the slightest, and his true trump card has not been revealed yet.
——
Changshan County.
During this period, Lin Wen was finally able to rest for a few days and accumulate some energy.
The work of hammering the earth has come to an end, and the next stage of work is still in preparation.
Yang Shaohu is in charge of the vital project of planning the east-west passage. If this major project starts, Lin Wen will be busy for a long time.
This is not as simple as just breaking through the big blood clot, but also extending the capillaries into the mountains and bringing all the mountain villages and towns into the development of Changshan County.
Imbalance is now the biggest factor restricting weekly good karma.
There is no significant change in the number of good fortunes this week compared to last week, only a slight increase to 19,816, but still below 20,000.
[Tao Ruo You Qing] gave two fortunes.
One is "red clouds covering the sky", which brings you good luck and helps you escape danger when you encounter a life-or-death crisis.
Rubbish, useless.
One is "Red Lotus Spirit", which greatly enhances one of your spells.
Excellent product, easy to use.
【Tao has feelings】3501/10000.
There will definitely be two fortunes next week.
So, Lin Wen decided to grow his soul first.
Now his Yuan Shen is only 365%, just a little bit stronger than the one who practices Qigong. The senior sister who was taken away by the yellow-haired man is still in great danger.
If the Soul exceeds 400%, two spells in the incomplete spell list will be restored to their original state.
However, Changshan County only provides a small amount of souls every week. Lin Wen has no way to establish a large number of new causes and conditions for the time being. The new medicine event should provide a lot, but it has not been settled as a whole event.
Can only rely on the enhanced [Half-edge Cultivation].
Every additional cause and condition that lasts for this life will increase the soul by at least 1%.
This ability has not yet fully exerted its power since it was enhanced, and only provides an additional 3%.
Theoretically, Lin Wen only needs to establish 35 or more causes and conditions that will last forever in this life to achieve this goal.
But the problem is, Lin Wen discovered a very painful reality: most of the people he is familiar with have already reached the level of "lifelong love".
Unless he is in a situation like Fang Weiwei who is confused about life, or Lian Meiyang Shaohu who is trapped in love, it will be difficult for him to improve further.
After several embarrassing failures, Lin Wen realized that he could only go with the flow in this matter. When the opportunity came, things would naturally improve. Forcing things would not usually get the desired results.
Let’s rely on new drugs.
This time, you should be able to obtain a great deal of good karma and spiritual energy. Cancer is the most hopeless disease, especially when you watch it grow day by day and you are powerless to do anything about it.
But what is even more desperate is that you know it can be cured now, but you can't afford it.
The feeling of watching it develop to the late stage and slowly slide to the bottom of hell, that kind of cruelty is enough to break the mind of any ordinary person.
Lin Wen’s new medicine is like a savior, like the sun. Although ten thousand yuan is not a lot of money, most people can afford it.
Poorer people can get by by squeezing together or borrowing.
If all else fails, they can go to loan sharks. Loan sharks are happy to lend money to such people. Although paying back the money is painful, at least people can survive.
It can be said that Lin Wen’s new medicine gives them the opportunity to turn back the path of life that is heading towards hell.
The hatred of the opponents is far less than their desire to survive.
Therefore, the medical group's battle for public opinion is doomed to fail.
All major hospitals and pharmacies quickly resumed sales of new drugs after a brief suspension, because they found that even if they didn't sell them, someone else would. Not selling them did not bring any benefits and would only bring them bad reputation. Cancer patients spontaneously organized themselves, labeled all hospitals and pharmacies that did not sell new drugs as running dogs, blacklisted them, and resolutely boycotted them.
Xia Xiaoxiang proudly reported to Lin Wen that the situation was very good and the enemy was defeated, but he was ridiculed by his friends.
"What's there to brag about for a guy who won without doing anything? Publicity, fighting, interstate arrests, which one of these was yours?"
Xia Xiaoxiang said angrily, "Organization, sales, logistics, aren't they important? The pharmaceutical company runs so smoothly. As soon as you win in a certain field, I'll follow and seize the territory. Isn't this a perfect partnership?"
"Alright, alright." Lin Wen stopped their quarrel. "What I'm concerned about now is whether there are any scalpers reselling the goods."
The last thing he wants to see is scalpers reselling new drugs. It's like a blood-sucking worm sucking his good karma and soul, which is absolutely intolerable.
Xia Xiaoxiang replied, "I have done my best to avoid this situation. I allocated detailed product supply quantities and dates to minimize panic. Cao Yuan also assisted me in extensive publicity."
Qin Luoshuang said, "The agents of the Changqing Bureau are also specifically cracking down on scalpers, blacklisting those who maliciously raise prices and deliberately resell. However, the power of the Governor of the Eastern Region of the Empire is relatively weak, so I can take charge of it. I can't extend my hand to other regions, especially some hostile states."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. When Changshan County has eleven aircraft carrier battle groups, you can reach out anywhere."
There are so many things to complain about that Qin Luoshuang doesn't know how to complain about this sentence.
Xia Xiaoxiang saw through her friend's embarrassment and cleverly helped her out: "Lin Wen, I know where Qin's hands can't be extended."
Lin Wen asked casually, "Where?"
She pointed downwards, "Your pants... Ouch! Qin, why are you hitting me? I'm helping you!"
Fang Dashan took this to heart. He had long been the commander of the Changshan County Navy. Unfortunately, the Changshan County Navy had nothing but dozens of transport ships on the rivers.
"Chief Lin, are we going to build an aircraft carrier? When?"
Qin Luoshuang was speechless by the frivolous idiots in the room.
Putting aside other things, no one else could have come up with such a brilliant idea as building an aircraft carrier in the river except Lin Wen.
Apart from Fang Dashan, there is no one else who can take it seriously.
"Let's get down to business." Qin Luoshuang tried to get the meeting back on track. "How's your bandit suppression going?"
Fang Dashan's expression immediately grew serious upon hearing about military affairs. He replied, "Chief of Staff, we've already cleared a quarter of the area, apprehended over 1,100 fugitives, criminal gangs, and drug traffickers, destroyed 37 criminal dens, destroyed 2,000 tons of various illegal materials, and seized various trophies totaling 110 million yuan."
"Very good." Lin Wen was very happy. This was another great opportunity for good fortune. "Keep working hard and clear out the entire mountain area as soon as possible. Once we've eliminated the bedbugs and cleaned up the houses, we can get started on construction."
Qin Luoshuang nodded: "Be careful to distinguish between the real bandits and the people who are being coerced, and don't kill them indiscriminately."
"Right, right." Lin Wen smiled and said, "You're worthy of being my backup. You're so thoughtful."
Qin Luoshuang snorted and ignored Lin Wen's compliment.
Xia Xiaoxiang was unhappy. "Why is she the backup and not me? I don't care. I want to be one too."
Fang Dashan also interrupted: "Chief Lin, I want one too!"
Qin Luoshuang slammed the table and shouted angrily, "You guys can become the heir to Changshan County just because you want to? Your report is over, return to your seats!"
Fang Dashan returned to the military camp in disappointment.
Xia Xiaoxiang cried out in grief and anger, "Qin, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! I misjudged you! Our friendship has capsized! Wuu ...
Tears ran down her face, but Lin Wen clearly saw a smile on her face.
Qin Luoshuang was extremely depressed. Xia had simply let herself go during this period of time. She would make a small fuss every three days and a big fuss every five days. Their boat would capsize almost every day.
"Just find her a similarly handsome guy." Qin Luoshuang thought to herself, "This girl is already grown up. It's time for her to get married. Maybe she will settle down a little."
After the two discussed the affairs of Changshan County for a while, Wang Ya came to report the latest situation to the eldest lady.
Lin Wen took a quick glance and discovered that the guy's aura had darkened, and the gas was light and expanding, but also obviously disturbed, which clearly showed that he was hiding a secret.
Lin Wen gently held Qin Luoshuang's hand, asking her to stop asking questions, and said with a smile.
"Wang Ya, how much money did you receive?"
