Other researchers were on vacation, but Shi Xing was still busy here.
Because the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Materia Medica was involved throughout the process, and because it was done through back channels, it was easier than for other companies.
The necessary procedures for the drug to be marketed have been completed, and the production line has long been prepared in accordance with GMP requirements, ready to be put into production.
She met with several important officials, mainly to discuss market investment in pharmaceuticals.
She had previously stated that she would include the Qingti Pill in the medical reimbursement scope.
Her goal was to benefit the people and increase her own visibility, not to make money.
She has many ways to make money, and even if she had ten times that amount, she couldn't spend it all in ten lifetimes. She has no need to profit from the suffering of others.
She will keep the price of medicines within cost.
While she wouldn't ask for exorbitant prices, she also wouldn't do business at a loss.
Otherwise, with so many people in the world, so many sick people, she would have to pay them out of her own pocket; she's not a philanthropist.
After learning of her thoughts, the people above not only praised her highly but also said they would give her some kind of reward.
Everyone was initially worried that she would try to lower the price, and that it would take some effort to persuade her to do so. However, it turned out that they were just being petty and judging her by their own standards.
They are not only willing to include the drugs in the medical insurance coverage, but also to keep the prices within cost.
After all, that's a highly effective drug that can cure cancer! It's unique in the whole world!
Anyone with a modicum of selfishness would not let go of this opportunity to make money; no one would refuse such a life-saving medicine.
Even if the price is outrageous, there are plenty of people who will offer thousands of dollars to beg for it.
Several elderly people who were talking to her immediately had tears in their eyes.
"Comrade Shi, you're a fine man!"
"Comrade Shi, the people of the whole country will remember you! This must be widely publicized! This is what a true son or daughter of China is like!"
Another elderly woman with gray hair patted her on the shoulder: "Good, good, good. With such a good young person as you, our country will definitely get better and better."
Everyone was deeply moved, and Shi Xing himself felt a little embarrassed.
"This is what I should do as a Communist Party member," she said, patting her chest.
"As expected of Comrade Shi! We have recorded all the good deeds you have done, so you can rest assured!"
Shi Xing was somewhat surprised, but it also seemed to be within her expectations.
After the meeting, Tokiyuki began preparing for the press conference.
She posted a Weibo post about the press conference using her own account and tagged the official account of the Future Biology Institute.
The institute's official account also posted a similar Weibo post.
The news agency CCTV quickly reposted the Weibo post, and many other official media outlets followed suit.
Soon after, the related content topped the trending searches.

These days, anything related to Shi Xing generates buzz, let alone her own Weibo posts.
"What's going on? Why such a big commotion?"
"A press conference? What's it about?"
"It's a press conference for a drug, but we don't know what kind of drug it is. It's so mysterious."
"Future Biology Research Institute? I've never heard of it."
"This is a research institute that Mr. Shi invested in and built himself."
"I heard that basically all the well-known news media outlets have been invited."
"More than that, those who didn't get an invitation are all trying to find connections to get in."
"Many pharmaceutical companies and cancer associations also participated."
"Wow, even the official national media are going to see it. What kind of medicine is this that's so amazing?"
"I have a bold guess: could it be for treating AIDS?"
"If we're even bolder, it might be some kind of elixir of immortality!"
"...Isn't that a bit too daring?"
"I know! I really know! It's a miracle drug for treating cancer! My uncle was in one of the clinical trials! It really worked!!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I've heard of it too, but I don't know why it's not popular."
"Treatment for cancer? What type? There are effective cancer drugs on the market."
"I heard it's amazing, it's involved in clinical trials for all kinds of diseases, it must be several kinds of special drugs."
"As expected of President Shi!"
"expect!"
"Great! Several more effective drugs for treating cancer have been added. I hope they aren't too expensive."
"Trust Mr. Shi, when have these medical products ever been expensive?"
"I will definitely watch the press conference live on the 30th."
"I also."
Online discussions are rife with curiosity about what drug will be announced at this press conference.
The high-ranking politicians and elites were all aware of the content of this press conference and were equally looking forward to it.
Some unfortunate individuals diagnosed with cancer have an even stronger spirit; upon receiving the news a few months ago, they immediately transferred from overseas hospitals back to China.
The purpose is to ensure that the medicine can be taken as soon as possible. With strong government support, the effectiveness of the medicine is beyond doubt.
Some people tried to use inside connections to get a share before the official listing, but none of them succeeded.
They were unwilling to participate in clinical trials, so naturally none of them were qualified and could only obediently wait like ordinary people.
After much anticipation, September 30th finally arrived.
Two hours before the 9 o'clock press conference, the lobby was already packed with people.
The area outside the venue was packed with reporters, all vying for a good spot to get the latest news.
The fact that even the government is paying attention to this press conference speaks volumes about the importance of its content.
