Chapter 187 Real Business War
At a time when hepatitis B patients at home and abroad are rejoicing.
On another level, a battlefield where no gunpowder smoke can be seen begins, and a new battle begins.
With the release of Big Beautiful by several authoritative media, as well as excerpts of some expert advice.
It is said that Umbrella's technology may be applied to all viruses, including AIDS, and the public is a little restless.
Some people began to propose that this technology must be opened up and all viruses must be conquered as soon as possible.
A large number of secret promoters are adding fuel to the flames.
Subsequently, a member of the United States House of Representatives launched a high-profile new bill, preparing to force the passage of a bill to make this technology public.
Officially released to the public.
At the same time, another group of lobbyists began to visit Umbrella's chief CEO 'Jace'.
"Mr. Jess, the bill is just for publicity. Of course we know that your company has invested a lot in this technology, so we are willing to spend a high price to purchase the license!"
"The details of the bill itself are negotiable. This time it is the general trend and cannot be violated."
Faced with the aggressiveness of first relying on public opinion and then on the bill, ‘Jace’ looked very calm.
"There is no compromise in Umbrella. The Sackler family should know this very well. We are not afraid of any challenges. Please come back."
As Jace saw off his guests, the initiators behind him also felt quite dissatisfied and angry.
Don’t know how to praise!
Before they backed down, it was because the benefits were not big enough. Now that this may be targeting all viruses, how could they let it go so easily?
What is the most life-saving drug in the world?
It's antibiotics!
The immunoglobulin in front of us can almost be regarded as a specific drug against viruses!
This market is big enough to make any capital green-eyed.
This can be considered a necessity!
Especially the companies that produce various antiviral drugs now. They invest a lot in the research and development of drugs. They finally come up with this thing at the harvest time, and they have to fight against the odds, no matter the cost.
But just when all parties were sharpening their knives and preparing to really teach them a lesson.
Suddenly a report hit the news.
A billionaire was found dead suddenly in his home.
Although it was a pity that it was just such a news, it was nothing. Birth, aging, illness and death were normal events, and billionaires were not exempt from this. Besides, they were not well-known rich people.
But just in the afternoon, another low-key rich man was found to have died of a cerebral hemorrhage while communicating with his mistress, who was also a famous lady.
But hidden under this sexy news, there was another extremely terrifying shock.
Because these two dead rich men 'happened' to be the financial backers behind the member of the House of Representatives who sponsored the new bill!
Moreover, these two tycoons in mining and farming also pay great attention to their personal safety. They spend a lot of money on their own security every year, and they are very life-saving.
But just like that, he died in an unknown way!
Yes, there is no evidence, and the examination did not contain any drug ingredients, but it was such a 'coincidence' that he died of a myocardial infarction and a cerebral hemorrhage on the same day!
Not targeting the congressmen, but directly targeting the sponsors behind it, which made those who had been clamoring numb.
Although we often play cards that do not follow common sense, at least we are not so extreme!
Calm down!
In fact, they still have a choice now, which is to blame the matter directly on Umbrella, and then take a more extreme approach to make the military-industrial complex fully operational.
But that level of involvement is too great. Could it be that real tanks drove over and bulldozed it?
Since there is no way to make this option, facing Umbrella's strong counterattack, the previous aggressive attitude can only freeze again.
At the same time, Umbrella also issued relevant announcements
"In fact, the culture medium we worked so hard to develop has been stolen, and we have also traced the source of the theft ourselves. We can't say who it is because there is no actual and sufficient evidence."
No matter how loud the voices and rhythm are now, this kind of obvious theft will still attract some attention.
"In addition, our company is already developing methods to defeat other viruses. Everyone should already know our technical level, and the price after we conquer it is not expensive. If this is the case, what means will be used to force us to share it?" If so, maybe the only option is to move the headquarters.”
As for where to move the headquarters?
Have you already started to introduce policies for the implementation of some high-tech enterprises without looking at Dongfang?
I don’t want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay!
Originally, Umbrella's main assets in North America were concentrated in Umbrella Security, and the production lines and so on were all in some large Eastern countries.
If you really force someone to pass, what will happen?
With his methods revealed and his muscles flexed, and with the existing escape route, Umbrella once again issued an official statement to help him get off the ground
"Since we have already had examples of culture media being stolen, in order to ensure the safety of our overseas factories, the company plans to consider setting aside part of its culture media production capacity for sale, and is currently discussing quotas."
Don’t you just want to eat Guoguo together? As long as you have the fruit tree in your hand, you can eat Guoguo for everyone!
As for the price of the culture medium, of course we will order it. Do you like it or not? That’s all there is anyway!
After the steps were taken here, the relevant proposals were immediately withdrawn. Subsequently, public opinion from all parties also praised Umbrella for its grandeur and willingness to give up part of its share of the things it developed.
Subsequently, for this quota, all companies, groups, families, and chaebols that have made achievements in the field of biomedicine swarmed in, all wanting some quota for culture media!
……
Looking at the representatives of the Sackler family who were also mingling among the representatives like no one else, as well as several representatives of the companies controlled by the Sackler family, Li Yao had to lament the ruthlessness of capital.
It was obvious that Suo Mali was fighting to the death just before, and both sides knew who was on the other side.
On the one hand, they stole culture medium samples and 'forced' Umbrella to start selling them proactively to 'prevent them from being cracked'; on the other hand, they directly sent out action troops to fight and destroy the laboratory.
The two parties who originally broke the dog's brain are now getting together again?
This is capital. For them, the life and death of the people below is just a battle between profits and consumables. As long as they can achieve their own goals, what does compromise mean?
With their influence in the field of biomedicine, it is completely impossible to avoid them. Conflicts are contradictions, business is business, and they will not turn away anyone who offers money.
As for them buying back the culture medium to ‘crack’ it?
Just go and 'crack' it...
Wang Yi is not worried that they will doubt this or that because they cannot crack it.
As a highly efficient new technology, this special-effect culture medium is inherently difficult to imitate!
Just like the steel required for aircraft carriers, it looks simple, right? Isn't it just military steel? But how difficult it is to actually do it yourself, both the two big Eastern countries have a deep understanding of it!
Materials science itself is a lottery to see who is lucky. Without specific formulas and processes, it does not mean that you can reverse engineer a sample and reproduce it.
The same is true for this culture medium now. It is normal to be unable to conquer it for a while.
Given some demonizing materials appropriately, Wang Yi also wants to see what tricks the world's top experts can do...
