Chapter 311 Initiative

  Norwegian ship magnate went bankrupt, because his words offended even Damei. It can be said that he was in trouble in all aspects, and no one could save him!

   Next, it will naturally be a feast to carve up high-quality assets after bankruptcy, and all parties' capital will show their talents.

  After all, he can get this kind of title, and he still has a lot of good things on his side.

  However, those platforms and ships that have been refitted in the shipyard and are being seized, no one has robbed Umbrella at all.

  Because only Umbrella can use this thing!

  Buy it and resell it to the other party?

  The other party just doesn't want it, so it's not bad?

  So Umbrella got the hulls he originally wanted at the reserve price of the auction.

  However, because these modified platforms are concentrated in the European region, it will take some time to drag them back to East Asia and reconcile with other platforms.

  Many platforms need to rely on tugboats for their maneuverability. Not to mention the slow speed, many of them are not convenient to take the canal, so they need to detour the Cape of Good Hope.

  However, the newly created platform has not yet come out. After all, even if it is extra money and overtime, this kind of big guy still needs time.

  Daewoo Shipyard built the million-ton Pioneering Spirit, which took three years.

  But because Umbrella is willing to spend money, they are all operating 24 hours a day, so if you calculate it, even a three-seat platform with a million-ton level is enough for about a year.

   After all, Umbrella's order was divided into many factories, and almost all shipyards started construction simultaneously.

   At the same time, two new virus-specific immunoglobulins from Purdue Pharmaceuticals have also been approved!

   The first one is the specific immunoglobulin of 'hepatitis C'!

  Hepatitis C patients are close to 200 million worldwide, and there is a special drug for hepatitis C virus, which is Havani produced by Gilead.

  A course of treatment for 12 weeks, the total cost is nearly 100,000 US dollars!

  So the annual sales of Havani rank second among all pharmaceuticals in the world, as high as $9 billion!

   That is to say, as long as 100,000 of the 200 million patients take this drug every year, this terrifying sales volume can be achieved.

  At the beginning, someone compared Umbrella's hepatitis B specific drug, which made many people understand Umbrella's conscience.

   As it happens, Gilead is also one of the Sackler family's industries. It can be said that just one shot broke the backbone of this company in an instant!

  In an instant, the hepatitis C specific medicine, which can cost nearly tens of billions of dollars every year, is directly dried up!

Since Umbrella's new drug is placed in Purdue Pharmaceuticals, its original purpose is to make money and compete, so the price is almost comparable to the original "hepatitis C" specific drug, which can be said to be more targeted at The effect of the parallel replaces the other's market.

  After all, the traditional antiviral drugs themselves have a lot of side effects on the body, and the course of treatment is too long. It is far less effective than the immunoglobulin that has been verified on ‘hepatitis B’.

  After the price broke out, it immediately let the country understand how "benevolent" the selling price of Umbrella's hepatitis B specific drug was!

  Arbitrarily raising the price by ten times or even a hundred times can easily increase their sales!

   And by reducing the output, you can also 'leave' more sources of transmission, and become a long stream of water!

  For example, now, almost all hepatitis B patients are cured in one breath, which has led to the near-stop production of hepatitis B-specific immunoglobulin.

  Although it did make a fortune because of the number of patients, but in terms of income, it is far from the long-term model of Gilead's hepatitis C specific drug!

  Now that the original price of the medicine is truly shown, this kind of comparison of the same kind and the difference of the same model still make everyone feel deeply shocked.

   "No wonder domestic support for Umbrella is so strong, this is a real friend."

   "I'm done. I remember that there were black Umbrellas before. Why are they black? Why are they black!"

   "Yes, this is a conscientious enterprise."

   "Hehe, conscience? They can sell hepatitis B medicine for a few hundred yuan, which means that the cost is lower and they can still make money! Now the hepatitis C medicine costs tens of thousands of dollars, which means that the conscience has been eaten by dogs."

   "Fucking shit, there are so many special effects medicines of the same type on the market with so many price tags, but they have better efficacy and can't be sold at the same price? Why haven't you sprayed Gilead?"

   "How can this be the same! Gilead is a listed civilized country company. They invest so much in R&D. Of course, they need high prices to make up for the initial R&D expenses. Otherwise, who would research new drugs?"

   "Then what? Umbrella's doesn't count?"

   "Umbrella is obviously using old technology and previous experience. Of course, there is no need for additional research and development costs. Since it can be sold for a few hundred dollars before, of course it can be sold now!"

   "Laughing, it's still an old technology. Can you please distinguish the difference between hepatitis B and hepatitis C first? Hepatitis B is a DNA virus, which can be easily defended by vaccines. Hepatitis C is an RNA virus that is easy to mutate, okay?"

   "That is, the tens of dollars of their own medicines are too expensive, and the tens of thousands of imported medicines are said to be what they deserve, double standards."

   After all, more people have been helped by Umbrella, especially after comparing the drug prices this time, they can better understand the rarity before.

  So generally speaking, there are more positive comments, after all, the price of the previous hepatitis B medicine is here!

   "Hey, Umbrella really made a lot of concessions for our market."

  “No matter what purpose and intention they have, it is undeniable that the ‘hepatitis B specific immunoglobulin’ solved the pain of many patients before.”

   "Actually, this is the price of a new drug in theory, let alone the effect is so good."

   "Yes, the effect of the specific drug for hepatitis B has been shown. Word of mouth is here. It can be cured quickly. Who would use such a long-term antiviral drug? It will have side effects on the body."

   "Yeah, I'm looking forward to what Umbrella's second drug will be."

   "Yes, it's still very mysterious."

   "Haha, it can't be a special medicine for zombie virus."

   "Umbrella's technology is really possible."

   "Fuck! It's Ebola!"

   "!"

   "Surprise!"

   "Is that infected with a mortal virus?"

   "I heard that even zombies have been killed by Ebola."

   "Awesome!"

   "Is there a possibility that given Umbrella time, the immunoglobulin of the zombie virus can also be developed?"

   "..."

  If the "hepatitis C" virus announced by Umbrella was purely for stealing money, then the immunoglobulin against Ebola has really attracted considerable attention!

  Different from the stable situation in the country, the chaos in the beautiful territory is now intensifying.

   There are often rumors of various zombies entering the city and causing riots.

   Orders for various shelters have increased significantly.

  Arms dealers have also entered the carnival moment.

   I just can't understand their current situation.

   Especially there are some big and beautiful videos where someone actually bites someone, someone gnaws on the face or something.

   But in the end, it was found that it was all caused by excessive drinking.

  Anyway, it's really a show operation.

   But it is obviously already such a mess, but through some news, videos on TT, and some observations under simultaneous translation, it seems that this still has little impact on Damei.

   The little inflation caused by it was easily calmed down by raising interest rates, and I still kept pointing fingers at the outside every day, as if it didn't affect the operation at all!

  This situation has actually seen many people express their emotion and admiration.

   "The upper and lower layers can already be regarded as reproductive isolation."

   "Yeah, I have a classmate studying there, saying that as long as you don't go to places you shouldn't go, you won't feel anything at all!"

   "I have friends who travel too. I feel that studying abroad and traveling there are completely isolated from normal life."

   "It's really a dream."

   "Beautiful dream, there are still a lot of people who want to take the line to go there..."

   "There is nothing wrong with pursuing a better life, as long as you don't turn around and attack us."

   "If they don't attack us, how can they show that their decision is correct, how can they show their sense of superiority? Thinking too much."

"In fact, really capable and high-quality talents are rarely attacked. When difficulties and disasters arise, they will actively raise donations. However, those who have worked hard through various channels have finally become the bottom. How about it? Compare it with a dishwasher?"

   "But look, Umbrella has published some papers on the K virus."

   "Fuck, you still have to rely on Umbrella to manage zombies..."

   "..."

  Umbrella published some related research papers on the K virus, giving some virus characteristics in great detail.

   It's just that after the paper was published, it caused a certain degree of panic.

"...I'm sorry to tell you that because the K virus acts on the central nervous system and can hijack operations, even the specific immunoglobulin has almost no effect on the K virus patients who have already attacked, and the attack on the virus will directly leading to the death of the infected..."

  Umbrella's biotechnology is here, and he has his own armed forces, so when he applied to find a way to fight this virus in Africa, he was authorized by the United Nations.

  Beautiful will not raise objections!

  However, Umbrella's conclusion, which is currently the world's number one biotechnology company, has disappointed many people.

   After all, it is indeed too difficult for the virus to hijack nerve cells directly along the blood through the blood-brain barrier.

   There are too many restrictions on the high degree of differentiation and non-regeneration of central nervous cells, and the damage is irreversible.

"However, we have found a small number of people who have been scratched by zombies. During the incubation period when the number of viruses entering the body is not large, the specific immunoglobulin can complete the killing, but there is a certain chance that it will cause irreversible damage to the brain, because the data There are too few, so it is difficult for us to make a conclusion. The preliminary judgment should be probabilistic. In addition, the injection of immunoglobulin in advance may have a protective effect for a certain period of time before the metabolism is completed, but no experiment has been carried out..."

   Anyway, there is some useful information.

   Immediately afterwards, some media began to kidnap, demanding that Umbrella announce the corresponding technology to deal with the K virus!

  In fact, after the zombie virus was exposed, this wind has been blowing, and it has become more and more serious.

   You don't need to think about it to know that someone is fanning the flames, and there is definitely more than one party.

  The reason why it is blown slowly and fermented naturally is that no one wants to be a target.

  Anyway, with the rhythm of natural public opinion, it is impossible for Umbrella to cover the sky with one hand!

  Originally, if it wasn’t for the ship king’s side throwing dirty water on the beautiful authorities, they might just follow the trend and find an excuse to sanction.

   Now that Umbrella has spoken out about this matter, naturally he will not let the opportunity go easily!

   This was brought up by you yourself, not our target!

   Umbrella threw out the paper at this time, but it was actually an active guidance.

   For this statement, Umbrella also made a public response

"...Actually, so many companies have purchased our culture medium, so they should have already produced a lot of corresponding immunoglobulins themselves, but the problem of mass production has not been announced. There are also other institutions for the research of K virus. We also know that this virus is different from traditional viruses and is 'active', and the production and cultivation of immunoglobulins is extremely difficult, even if we are unable to achieve mass production."

   Viruses are not actually classified as organisms. They only have a layer of protein shell and internal genetic material. They cannot absorb nutrients from the outside by themselves, and can only be completed through parasitism!

   But the K virus is not like this!

   This is a special virus with a simple structure and 'activity', which can be said to be unique at present!

   But after finally waiting for Umbrella to jump out and 'leak the loophole', Damei also took advantage of the situation, and directly spoke to the spokesperson.

   "No matter what, the culture medium has risen to the level of global security, so it must be made public! Umbrella has already affected global security. For this reason, the Federation may take some powerful measures to sanction."

   Third watch, first watch~
