"Indeed, the Americans are going too far these days."
"They not only impose blockades and sanctions on our country in the field of high-tech semiconductors, but also target high-tech companies like Huawei."
"Even in the pharmaceutical sector, they have taken drastic measures, cutting off all cooperation between my country and foreign pharmaceutical high-tech companies."
"It has indeed caused great resistance and trouble for our pharmaceutical industry."
“Even the stock price of our Zhenjiang Pharmaceutical has recently plummeted by 20 percent.”
Mo Weijiang nodded in satisfaction at Wang Yueheng's tactful reply.
When the topic of the obstacles faced by the pharmaceutical industry he works in came up, Mo Weijiang's face immediately turned serious.
"Oh? Is the impact that serious?"
Upon hearing her father's words, Mo Zixue was stunned.
Her father rarely talked to her about the company's operations.
Moreover, Mo Zixue doesn't seem to care much about the capital market.
But I never expected that the value of my own stock would fall so drastically.
Seeing her father's noticeably increased gray hair, Mo Zixue felt a pang of heartache.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She even worried about the possibility of further sanctions from abroad.
Will the business my father worked so hard to build be on the verge of bankruptcy?
“I have friends who have bought some pharmaceutical stocks in their funds, which I had heard about before.”
"It is said that the stock price of WuXi AppTec, a company engaged in new drug research and development in China, has plummeted by more than half."
Wang Yueheng also spoke with a solemn expression.
"The U.S. Congress, under the pretext of protecting 'genetic data and national security,' introduced the Biosecurity Act."
"To put it bluntly, it's the same as the export ban on semiconductors."
"Any institution from China is prohibited from participating in pharmaceutical procurement and research and development cooperation with Western countries."
"Fortunately, half of Zhenlong Pharmaceutical's market is in China, so it won't be crushed by the ban for the time being."
"That's why domestic pharmaceutical stocks, which were originally very popular, have all been nearly halved, just like WuXi AppTec."
"Many small and medium-sized pharmaceutical-themed funds are facing the risk of liquidation due to excessive redemption requests, and retail investors have suffered heavy losses."
Mo Weijiang sighed and said.
“I remember you made a movie called ‘Dying to Survive’, which mentioned the cancer targeted drug Gleevec.”
"There are many other life-saving drugs like these, which are patented exclusively in the West."
"It is almost impossible to overtake others in a short period of time."
"At least for our generation, there's not much hope..."
"By the way, Xiao Heng, do you smoke?"
Thinking about these worries about his career, Mo Weijiang, sitting on the sofa, subconsciously took out a cigarette and was about to light it.
"Thank you, I don't..."
"Smack!"
Before Wang Yueheng could answer, Ying Wanlin stood up and snatched the cigarette and lighter from her husband's hand.
"Yue Heng is a singer. How can a singer smoke, let alone inhale your secondhand smoke!"
"Don't forget he might even be singing for the Asian Games, so he needs to protect his voice!"
Ying Wanlin reminded her husband with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Sorry, it's a habit."
"Your aunt really dotes on you; other people don't get this kind of treatment when they come to our house."
Mo Weijiang smiled awkwardly, not angry at his wife's words, but instead took the opportunity to emphasize them.
"Yue Heng, are you hungry? Come and eat, Auntie has prepared something delicious for you."
"Don't listen to your uncle's talk about medicine or international affairs..."
"That has nothing to do with us. Eating well, drinking well, and resting well are the most important things."...
After chatting for a while, Ying Wanlin pulled Wang Yueheng to the restaurant.
Besides braised prawns, steamed crabs, and braised pork trotters, the table was filled with several main dishes.
There were also several fruit platters and bread, biscuits, and snacks on display.
Clearly, Mr. and Mrs. Mo Weijiang put in a lot of effort to welcome Wang Yueheng as their guest tonight.
"Mom, I've never seen you cook such a lavish meal when I'm home!"
Looking at the table full of dishes, snacks, and fruits.
Mo Zixue, standing to the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes, revealing a shocked expression.
A pang of sadness welled up inside me.
My mom really likes Wang Yueheng!
They're even closer to her than a biological daughter.
"Thank you, Auntie. Then I won't be polite..."
Since the other party has prepared such a sumptuous late-night snack, it would be impolite not to eat any of it.
Wang Yueheng had no choice but to start peeling and eating the shrimp.
"People come to our house as guests, not to listen to your complaints. You're not allowed to talk about these irrelevant topics anymore!"
"Talk more about your daughter!"
Ying Wanlin turned to her husband and whispered a reminder.
Mo Zixue sat beside Wang Yueheng with a worried expression.
She desperately wanted to finish her studies immediately, develop a drug to treat ALS, and help her father's pharmaceutical company be revived.
Mo Zixue, who was originally cheerful, now looked like a helpless little girl who had lost her soul.
She wanted to help her father share his burdens, but she was powerless to do so.
Wang Yueheng, who was eating shrimp, also noticed the change in Mo Zixue's condition.
After a moment's thought.
He decided to give Mo Zixue a different Qixi Festival gift.
"By the way, Uncle Mo, have you ever heard of Shouzhen Spring?"
While eating a late-night snack, Wang Yueheng casually asked.
"Hmm~ I seem to remember that. Are you talking about the Shouzhen Spring near Changshou Mountain?"
Mo Weijiang didn't expect Wang Yueheng to ask this question suddenly, and after thinking for a moment, he answered.
"Yes, my grandfather went there. He said that the villagers living near Shouzhenquan have an extremely low cancer rate and many centenarians."
"The spring water there is said to be the water of life and has anti-aging effects."
Wang Yueheng said while eating fruit.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that some medical institutions have studied the spring water over there."
"It should be that the content of magnesium and potassium ions is very high, which naturally synthesizes enzyme activators."
"Small molecules in water can enter the cell nucleus, activate cell enzymes, and thus stimulate vitality."
When asked about his field of expertise, Mo Weijiang spoke with great enthusiasm.
"If such an activator could be developed, would it be possible to artificially produce anti-aging drugs?"
Wang Yueheng then asked further questions.
"Hehe, it's not that simple."
"Not to mention that the specific composition of the longevity factor in the spring water is still a mystery."
"The conditions under which such natural substances are formed, from the geological environment to the span of thousands of years, cannot be easily replicated in a laboratory..."
"Moreover, if such a drug were actually developed..."
"Then it's not just a simple anti-aging drug; it could even conquer most cancers!"
"That is absolutely a miracle in the history of human medicine."
Upon hearing Wang Yueheng's somewhat naive idea, Mo Weijiang patiently explained it to him.
They tried to dispel Wang Yueheng's unfounded fantasies.
"To be honest, I used to be quite curious about medicine."
"Especially after hearing the story of Shouzhen Spring from my grandfather, I read through many ancient books and classics that contain related records."
"Then I saw a special drug formula, took a picture of it and saved it on my phone. Please take a look and see if it is of any use."
Wang Yueheng pretended to turn on his phone, then casually took out paper and pen from his backpack.
I copied the prescription from the phone screen.
Just like the serious expression he had when writing the song.
Mo Zixue looked at Wang Yueheng in surprise, not expecting him to suddenly bring up the drug formula.
"There are countless ancient prescriptions for this kind of longevity medicine, but many of them are actually not very useful for reference..."
"Moreover, synthesizing drugs in the laboratory is far more complex than the ancient practice of tasting hundreds of herbs..."
"If you could really get your hands on a medicinal ingredient like Longevity Spring, I guarantee you could become a world-class billionaire."
Seeing Wang Yueheng earnestly copying down the prescription, Mo Weijiang chuckled and joked.
But a warm feeling flowed through my heart.
Although the prescriptions written by Wang Yueheng may have come from some obscure folk remedies.
But it's commendable that this young man is so considerate of himself.
