Chapter 124 Self-Contradiction



What attracted him was Magneto's portrait, an alloy model of Iron Man.

According to Lao Wan, her model is a 1:1 replica of the props from Iron Man.

Aside from the high-tech parts, the rest are perfectly replicated.

If he could solve the problems of power and balance, would that mean he could create three Iron Mans?

The power problem is easy to solve; we can use the new SAR battery. If it's not flying, the energy consumption for walking on the ground shouldn't be too high.

The balance problem is not a difficult one either; the three brothers' control skills are definitely better than any balancer in the world.

As for smart chips, that's even less of a problem.

The wisdom of biological intelligence is not about easily defeating big data-driven artificial intelligence like Alpha.

In that instant, Gao Ang felt an impulse and directly asked Lao Wan for her Iron Man model.

"No, hold on, we must hold on."

Taking a deep breath, Gao Ang suppressed his impulse, went on YY, logged into the game, and started playing chess.

He was thinking about how to start the conversation.

"You say you do scientific research, but have you achieved any results?"

Old Wan's voice was a little lazy, indicating that he had just gotten up.

Looking at the blazing sun overhead, Gao Feng scoffed: "Are all rich women this lazy?"

"Yes, I've come up with a little invention, but I don't know if it will work."

"What invention is it? Tell us about it."

There was a hint of curiosity in Lao Wan's tone; it was clear he wasn't just going through the motions.

"Just one medicine..."

Before he could reveal the answer, Lao Wan interrupted him:

"Medicine? Could it be ROG?"

Now it was Gao Ang's turn to be dumbfounded. "Wait, how did you know it was ROG?"

How many drugs does Dongguo approve for market release every year? She just casually mentioned it and she was certain it was ROG?

"Because ROG's ads are really popular lately. They're even featured on CCTV's news program, not to mention Douyin and Toutiao. I'm bombarded with ads every day. It's so annoying."

Is it popular?

Gao Ang suddenly felt that he might be too lazy and too isolated from the world.

He opened his browser, and before he could even type in any search keywords, a small ad popped up in the bottom right corner:

"The miracle drug ROG, one drop promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, two drops heal minor injuries, three drops..."

Holy crap, this looks exactly like an ad for some kind of kidney tonic, it's totally misleading.

"Um, I'm going to make a phone call."

Gao Ang pulled out his phone and dialed Section Chief Zhang's number, immediately launching into a tirade: "Who made the ROG ad? How could they come up with such a low-class ad slogan?"

Don't people think we're deceiving consumers and committing fraud?

What kind of lousy advertising does a perfectly good government organization produce? It's even worse than Brain Gold!

After a barrage of scolding, Gao Feng felt much better.

"Well, Mr. Gao, this advertisement wasn't our idea; it was the idea of ​​a certain former leader."

Section Chief Zhang carefully explained, and Gao Ang was stunned again after hearing his explanation.

According to Section Chief Zhang's explanation, a certain former leader was able to stand up after using ROG, and even got rid of his wheelchair without needing any assistance.

In the words of the old leader: Such a good thing must be widely popularized, so that pain and regret can be kept away from all the people.

When it comes to popularizing knowledge among the masses, the old leader had a unique approach.

He was originally in the news industry, so he was more familiar with many of the rules of the trade than many others.

It can be said that the news media formed a complete system under his leadership.

In his own words: Why can singers, actors, and game developers be bombarded with advertisements, but we, who do good things for the country and the people, can't?

A person with an upright character has nothing to fear, and good things have nothing to fear from people's doubts.

Bomb it!

As a result, ROG advertisements were everywhere, from Dongguo News to Douyin headlines and even pirated websites.

"...You guys are really something."

After holding it in for a long time, Gao Ang finally blurted out these few words.

Can he question it?

No, that's impossible.

Is ROG not effective? It's good.

Does ROG have side effects? Yes, but if used properly according to the instructions, it can be said to have no side effects.

So, after thinking about it that way, he felt relieved, but he still felt that something was wrong.

"Mr. Gao, my former boss asked me to ask you something: can you lower the price for this?"

"Cheap? You set the price, how can I make that decision?"

"No, what I mean is, could we expand the production line a bit more? Right now we're only producing 1 million units a month, and the supply can't keep up with the demand."

"Not even 1 million copies?"

“It’s not enough. This stuff is a consumable. According to the instructions you gave me, 10 doses are enough for minor injuries, but for serious injuries, like car accidents, you’ll need more than 100 doses. Our Dongguo has 1.4 billion people, and the daily demand is far more than that.”

But the second and third sons only produce so little each month.

Gao Feng doesn't think he can turn things around on his own, nor does he intend to increase ROG production. He has his own ideas and he won't be morally coerced.

"Section Chief Zhang, you need to understand one thing: the more effective something is, the rarer it is. ROG's monthly production has already reached its limit. If we rashly expand the production line, it might not be a good thing."

Any business model needs three layers: top, middle, and bottom. ROG is at the top, Yunnan Baiyao is at the middle, and other drugs are at the bottom. This is a perfect ecological balance.

If we really monopolize the market, do you think it's a good thing?

Those businesses will go bankrupt, their employees will lose their jobs, and their families will face hardship.

How to make it accessible to the general public should be a question you're considering. From a business model and medical insurance perspective, you need to develop a perfect promotion strategy, instead of demanding that I provide you with more raw materials.

Section Chief Zhang on the other end of the phone remained silent. They had originally thought that Gao Ang, a mere young man, would definitely increase production after hearing how popular ROG was.

Young people, who isn't full of vigor and ambition?

With money comes fame and fortune; luxury cars and beautiful women are all within easy reach, aren't they?

But what he just said made Section Chief Zhang feel a little ashamed, even embarrassed.

They thought their intentions were good and that they could treat more patients, but they overlooked other aspects.

As Gao Ang said, with such a good drug as ROG, would anyone still use Yunnan Baiyao?

Won't.

Then a series of problems follow: company bankruptcy, employee layoffs, family disputes...

Of course, things may not be that serious, but what they said does make sense.

Pien Tze Huang is said to have miraculous effects, right? It has a state-secret formula, yet after all these years, it's still only produced in limited quantities.

A matter that a large company takes over a century to figure out can be easily seen through by a mere young upstart...

“Mr. Gao, you’re right. We didn’t think things through properly. I’ll report this to the board of directors later and we’ll discuss your proposal again to ensure that ROG can benefit as many users as possible.”

Gao Feng hung up the phone, sighing deeply.

What he thought was different from what Section Chief Zhang thought, and even from what he himself said.

He felt that ROG was a bug, something that shouldn't exist.

If it weren't for various reasons, he probably wouldn't have let ROG come into being at all.

In his view, Yunnan Baiyao was developed by generations of renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, representing the accumulation of their hard work and experience.

We shouldn't be defeated by a bug; doing so would be tantamount to completely negating the hard work and dedication of those people.

They poured their hearts and souls into their work and should not be so easily erased from the course of history. They deserve some respect.

"Your Majesty, do you think what I'm doing is right?"

Although he refused Section Chief Zhang, Gao Ang still felt a little uneasy.

After all, ROG products do work and can indeed help more people.

"Sir, as the ancients said: Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, treating the people like straw dogs."

I think you did the right thing, sir. The release of ROG will definitely help many suffering people, but it will also encourage pharmaceutical companies like Yunnan Baiyao. If ROG really becomes the rotten stuff that Section Chief Zhang thinks, it's tantamount to a death sentence for those pharmaceutical companies. Giving them no time to try is the greatest despair.

"Yeah, that's the only way I can comfort myself. Let's just think of ROG as a catfish."

Composing himself, Gao Ang opened YY Voice.

He just spoke much less, and the laughter and jokes of before were gone.

Old Wan probably sensed something was off about his tone, but he didn't ask any further questions. He hurriedly said he had something to do and logged off the game.

Suddenly, Gao Ang felt an urge to go on a trip.

What's the point of doing research? It's all just a bunch of nonsense.

Don't create trouble, because creating trouble only makes things more complicated.

"Your Majesty, book plane tickets to the Mountain Kingdom, to Luoshan City."

I took out my passport; it was covered in layers of dust.

Since it was set up, Gao Ang has never used it once; it's as clean as his face.

I greeted my family and video-chatted with my grandfather for a while, telling them that I was going out for a business trip.

The family also agreed, after all, Gao Feng is the major shareholder of Dong Sheng Health on the surface.

Although outsiders don't know what he looks like, they all know that there is a young man in his mid-twenties who graduated from Dongguk University of Law and Politics.

He preferred white coats to formal attire, joined a research team, and developed a drug called ROG.

That's all the information available.

Jin Guanrong also asked if that person was him, and Gao Ang didn't keep it a secret and told the truth.

The fat man's reaction surprised him: "If you said it was you, I wouldn't be surprised at all. You have a lot of crazy ideas in your head. By the way, do you have any of those 'one-pillar erection' drugs?"

Gao Ang replied that he deleted him as a friend and hasn't added him back yet.

Before setting off, Gao Ang sent Zhang Youwei a USB drive containing some NSG data, encrypted by Chi Sui, and a small box of NSG via SF Express.

He had previously promised to help Zhang Youwei run for a new round of executive director elections.

However, after acquiring NSG, he had a new idea.
