375: Chapter 374 Every New Era Has Speculators

Regarding the complete collapse of the pharmaceutical industry,

although Lin Mo was happy to see it happen,

the recent chain reactions it caused were something he was unwilling to see.

When a whale falls, all things flourish.

As such a massive interest group disintegrated, the original method of profit distribution was also deconstructed.

A new state of equilibrium had not yet formed in the short term.

But it had to be said.

There were still many "clever people" in Huaxia.

Hardly two weeks had passed.

Some opportunistic individuals had already begun to exploit legal loopholes to "start businesses."

The Huaxia Coast Guard at the Hong Kong port...

...sequentially seized several major cases of semi-smuggling in the pharmaceutical field that violated foreign trade order and international bilateral anti-dumping regulations.

They were called semi-smuggling...

...mainly because these pharmaceutical smuggling cases violated the basic patterns of past smuggling.

They all flowed from domestic to foreign markets.

After a joint investigation by public security, Customs, and other departments,

everyone finally understood the reason.

Since the crazy laugh virus had already entered the pandemic stage in countries all over the world,

with the exception of Huaxia,

all other countries in the Eastern Hemisphere, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, were seeing rapid growth in daily infections, severe cases, and deaths.

In the Western European countries of the Western Hemisphere,

the growth of cases had entered the final stage of acceleration.

In two weeks at most, they would catch up with the pandemic progress in the Asia-Pacific.

Only those countries far away on the American continent saw the progress of the crazy laughter disease pandemic moving slightly slower than elsewhere.

However, since the Eagle Nation had just disintegrated,

the fifty nations of North America were now basically in a state of chaos.

They had no time to implement virus control.

The real massive outbreak was estimated to happen around August or September.

Based on this,

some observant people had an extremely keen sense of smell.

Or perhaps they had gained access to this massive information gap in advance through internal channels.

They quickly discovered business opportunities.

Taking advantage of the recent collapse of the Huaxia pharmaceutical system,

they quietly purchased medicines that no one was buying anymore at ultra-low prices across various regions.

These were then smuggled abroad for mass dumping,

thereby earning high profits.

The public security departments followed the collected clues.

After following the trail,

they discovered that many of these smuggling operators actually had legitimate backgrounds...

The nature of these smuggling cases was extremely egregious.

It could be called the profiteering of a new era.

Not only would it greatly affect Huaxia's international reputation,

but it would also lead to a significant loss of national revenue.

Furthermore,

even if such business were to be done,

it should be handled at the Huaxia national level, responding to reasonable requests for aid regarding medicine shortages from overseas countries, maintaining the moral high ground, and proceeding in an official capacity.

These speculators...

...were actually trying to snatch business from the state.

How could this be allowed?

...

Lin Mo sat up straight.

He looked at the crowd and said,

"If anyone has any other questions, let's hear them all at once!"

Everyone present was an old acquaintance of Lin Mo.

They didn't stand on ceremony.

Following the seating order,

they brought up the thorny issues they encountered in their respective fields, their own response plans, and the current resistance they faced.

They raised them one by one.

"Comrade Lin Mo, we definitely didn't come here this time to shift the blame,"

Once the last high-level official finished speaking,

Chief Designer Bai Yannian added.

"We also know that"

"dumping so many hot potatoes on you would not only be extremely irresponsible but also make us look too incompetent."

"Actually,"

"we have already studied these thorny problems many times in advance and formulated a series of effective response plans."

"We also have the determination to carry out internal reforms."

"However, because these response plans will, on one hand, have a certain amount of impact on the subsequent project plans you deployed earlier,"

"potentially causing unexpected things to happen and slowing down the progress of the project plans."

"On the other hand,"

"since many international affairs are also involved,"

"and you are now the Supreme Speaker of the Huaxia United Organization, we wouldn't dare push forward without your nod..."

"..."

Lin Mo nodded.

After a moment of silence,

he said to the crowd,

"Let me think about it for one night."

"I don't have a good understanding of the current situation at the grassroots level either."

"I need the internal reference materials reported by various regions and departments; the more detailed, the better."

"After this meeting ends, send them to me through the internal network."

Hearing this,

everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian turned and gave a look to the secretary nearby.

The secretary understood,

and immediately went to organize the internal reference materials.

"Then tomorrow morning, we'll wait for your final decision."
