135: Chapter 135 On the Island, People Are in Panic

At this agents' conference, Black Fish Technology didn't treat Nine Stars differently, which meant Gao Yuan didn't hold a grudge and the relationship between them could still be mended.

Didn't he just send over the Life-Sustaining Base Fluid?

However, his illegitimate son had fled to America after the last incident and had since lost contact.

This made Li Bingxi constantly suspect that he had been taken out by Gao Yuan's people!

But he didn't dare to ask!

Now that America had knelt to Gao Yuan, Li Bingxi knew that if he wanted to continue running Nine Stars, he had to cooperate with Gao Yuan, or rather... do as Gao Yuan said.

Otherwise, Nine Stars would cease to exist in this world.

He didn't tell Li Taixi this.

One always needs to find a reason to excuse oneself.

The fact was, regardless of whether this medicine was reliable or not, he needed to promote it for Black Fish Technology unconditionally.

But the test results exceeded Li Bingxi's expectations.

It was actually a miracle drug.

In that case, he would go to the Southern Dynasty leader to get the green light for the new drug's launch.

With the miracle drug, the medical staff wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Southern Dynasty, Defense Building. After this current leader took office, perhaps out of fear of assassination, he moved his office here.

The medical issues in the Southern Dynasty had always been serious. Several previous leaders had wanted to reform, but the opposition was too loud, so they never succeeded.

By now, reform was mandatory. Public resentment was too high, and the current leader also needed to build prestige through medical reform, so he was forcibly pushing it through.

Unexpectedly, he was now in a dilemma; a large number of medical staff were on strike or resigning, but the current leader couldn't compromise and could only remain firm to the end.

If he compromised, it would not only deal a fatal blow to his prestige but also mean there would never be another chance for medical reform in the future.

Now, the government and medical personnel were in a standoff.

It was a matter of who could hold out longer.

Just as the current leader was overwhelmed with anxiety, Li Bingxi of Nine Stars arrived.

He hurriedly went out to meet him.

"Chairman Li, what brings you here?"

"Congratulations, Leader. I'm here to solve your problems!"

"Oh? What is it?"

"Take a look at this new drug, Leader..."

Li Bingxi handed the Life-Sustaining Base Fluid and its test report to the current leader!

"Don't make me read it, Chairman Li. There's too much. Just tell me directly!"

"This is a miracle drug from Black Fish Technology, just developed. Because of the deep friendship between Nine Stars and Black Fish Technology, they knew the plight the Southern Dynasty was facing and prioritized supplying it to us!"

The Southern Dynasty leader was a bit dazed.

Deep friendship? Do you even have that?

Besides, Black Fish Technology is a Xia Country company. What good intentions could people from Xia Country have?

"What is this medicine for?"

"Black Fish Technology's strength is unsurpassed globally. This new drug can treat almost all conditions. We've verified it; we selected several terminally ill patients, and their physical conditions have significantly improved... Although not cured, just one bottle can extend their life by at least a year!"

The Southern Dynasty leader took the Life-Sustaining Base Fluid and examined it carefully in his hand.

"Just this one vial? It can treat any disease? Even for terminal illnesses, one vial can extend life by a year?"

"Indeed..."

"Truly a miracle drug!"

Li Bingxi continued.

"I plan to roll it out across the Southern Dynasty. As long as we have this miracle drug, common illnesses will be cured, and those with terminal illnesses can keep living. People naturally won't need so many medical staff, so... the strikes and resignations of medical personnel won't have any impact, except on themselves!"

"That's right..."

The Southern Dynasty leader beamed; this truly solved his big problem...

The only downside was that this drug wasn't developed by Nine Stars, but by Black Fish Technology.

"Can you... find someone to replicate it?"

Li Bingxi's eyes widened.

Replicate Black Fish Technology's drug?

Is this old man tired of living?

The Southern Dynasty leader sensed Li Bingxi's reaction and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Just kidding..."

Black Fish Technology was not to be messed with right now!

...

It was said that the American leader had publicly praised Black Fish Technology a few days ago, and those big shots who were originally aggressive towards Xia Country had been better behaved than chicks these past few days.

Even the Congress was about to pass the "Xia-Friendly Act," granting Xia Country products most-favored-nation status!

Right now, the saddest ones were the Green Camp on Taiwan!

America had completely abandoned them. Despite their many appeals, there hadn't been a single response from the American side.

Ever since the American aircraft carrier was destroyed, there had been panic on Taiwan, with constant worry that the Xia Country government would take action against them.

They had previously fantasized that nearby American bases would come to protect them.

But in the past few days, the American Department of Defense announced a resolution that, starting now, the American government would gradually withdraw soldiers from military bases in the Asia-Pacific region.

People on Taiwan were saying that America had been scared off by Gao Yuan.

Now there was panic on the island; many people had begun stockpiling supplies, fearing that war was coming and there would be a shortage.

...

Early in the morning, Gao Yuan returned to the Real World and then received a call from Li Bingxi.

"President Li, long time no see!"

"Not too long, President Gao. We've tested the Life-Sustaining Base Fluid that Taixi brought back; it's simply a miracle drug that can solve the Southern Dynasty's urgent needs! I wonder when it can be supplied in large quantities?"

"Has President Li decided to become the agent for our Life-Sustaining Base Fluid?"

"Of course. With such a great product, having us as the agent is President Gao showing us favor!"

"We haven't discussed the price yet..."

"President Gao has the final say on the price! We will never haggle!"

Gao Yuan smiled: "Is one hundred million per vial acceptable?"

This...

Li Bingxi didn't know how to answer. If this miracle drug was exclusively for the top wealthy, one hundred million per vial wasn't unacceptable, since one vial could extend life by a year.

But for mass sales, this price... would be unrealistic.

"Are you speaking of Southern Dynasty Currency or xia country currency?"

One hundred million Southern Dynasty Currency is roughly equivalent to five hundred thousand xia country currency!

This price was indeed expensive, but the target audience would be much larger.

Many in the middle class could afford it.

After all, life is priceless.

Gao Yuan's goal was to control the Southern Dynasty's healthcare and push it to ordinary people; if the price was too high, it wouldn't be appropriate.

"We have two specifications. One is a small vial, one thousand xia country currency each, which can treat common illnesses. The large vial is like the one Li Taixi brought back, ten thousand xia country currency each!"

Li Bingxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this price.

This price-performance ratio was extremely high.

"Thank you, President Gao!"

"Come to Muza as soon as possible to sign the agency agreement. Once the agreement is signed, you can take the goods! The rules are the same as for the Constant Temperature Clothing and the wrist machine! President Li, your Nine Stars is currently the only agent among all of Black Fish Technology's agents to represent a new product!"

"We at Nine Stars feel incredibly honored! We hope to achieve even greater glory under the leadership of Black Fish Technology in the future!"

"Fair enough, fair enough!"

After hanging up, Gao Yuan showed a smile. Southern Dynasty people were indeed disgusting, but well, money wasn't! And by controlling the Southern Dynasty's medical market, if they did anything out of line, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; cutting off the supply would throw them into chaos!
