Chapter 213 Sit-in and Announcement
The amount of donations for the party was quickly forgotten, and people became more interested in the fact that Mrs. Lu wanted to divorce.
Su Xiaocai was no exception. She pestered Lieutenant General Bai and only then did she find out what happened next.
As soon as Mrs. Lu filed for divorce, Admiral Lu, who had originally wanted to take a vacation and take his son to the Capital Star to maintain his connections, immediately postponed his vacation and returned to the army to delay time.
After that, he contacted Mrs. Lu: "Calm down, I'm not blaming you, the party has always been hosted by you..."
"So what? Mr. Lu, you don't need to say more. Don't think that you can stay married just because you're back in the army. After three years of separation, I can force a divorce. If you don't show up, there's no way to prevent this outcome. I didn't do anything to let you down, but you insisted on making me unhappy. In that case, don't blame me for being heartless."
Mrs. Lu didn't mind General Lu's son joining the army.
She would have no objection to someone climbing up the ladder through his own abilities.
What she minded was that General Lu used her resources to help his stepson get promoted.
The stepson has been awarded to the ex-wife, and the child support has been paid, so I shouldn't interfere in other matters.
No woman can tolerate her husband's lingering feelings for his ex-wife. He would go through fire and water for her as soon as she cries, and devote his heart and soul to his stepson. Who can tolerate this?
What's more, Mrs. Lu is a strong woman.
She knew clearly what she wanted. The resources and money invested in General Lu had already been recovered. Since General Lu insisted on doing it his way, it didn't matter to her if she continued to insist.
No matter who you invest in, you should never invest in someone who is not in a clear mind.
Before Admiral Lu could say a word, Mrs. Lu hung up on him, and he had to swallow all the reprimands he had prepared.
Admiral Lu is about to fall, and the other admirals can't help but gloat over his misfortune, but the words they use are still quite mild. As long as Admiral Lu is in office, he will hold power.
Either quickly find a second capable wife, or stop being tied to your stepson's ex-wife.
The winner and loser of the competition between husband and wife has not yet been revealed.
Everyone wanted to know what Admiral Lu would do.
……
Back to the sale of gene cure drugs, shortly after the party, a public hospital in the capital took the lead in selling the drug.
Those with serious conditions all lined up at the hospital to get medicine. Some waited in wheelchairs, while others slept on the floor with their belongings. The hospital was overcrowded.
On a normal day, you wouldn’t realize that so many people are troubled by genetic problems, but when they heard that there was a specific medicine, they all came out.
Even the Xue family hired a critically ill patient to wait in line.
Xue Feiting and Yi Xue cannot have children because they cannot repair their genes. If their genes could be repaired, they would not need to adopt and could just have another child.
The two learned the news a few days ago and smiled bitterly.
It was lucky that they didn't adopt Su Xiaocai.
It was Father Su's laissez-faire approach that led to the Su Xiaocai of today. If she were handed over to them, they would only train her to be an all-rounder, a lady, and a well-behaved and obedient person.
Value her, but restrain her.
Just like Xue Huiyi, on the surface she was allowed to design mechas, but when others were not looking, she had to learn all kinds of etiquette, how to treat people, and how to cultivate her temperament through art...
Xue Huiyi is a passive learner.
Su Xiaocai takes the initiative to learn, and the results are completely different.
Xue Feiting was fine, but Yi Xue regretted it a lot and wished she could go back to the past and wait until now to have a child.
At that time, genetic testing was not as convenient as it is now, and some genetic problems were difficult to detect.
But Xue Zhiyi had already given birth to the baby, so even if they didn't take the medicine, Xue Zhiyi would still try to take it.
If it can relieve the symptoms, that's good.
As long as the medicine is effective, the production volume will be increased in the future. Even if you can't get the medicine during this period, you can get it after a while.
The emergence of effective drugs has made people ecstatic, just like the emergence of drugs to treat cancer and immune problems, people start discussing it with everyone they meet.
Not only the public is discussing this, but the Inhumane Research Institute, which has invested countless resources, also holds emergency meetings every day.
I want to know if there is any way to get information about the drug.
They got a few pills of medicine, the ingredients were quite complex and contained several new substances, they didn’t know which one was working, it was possible that all of them were working.
But knowing all this is useless. How it is synthesized and how it produces its effects all need to be studied.
New drugs mean that there will be no literature or paper references for the time being.
It will take a long time for them to research and develop an effective drug.
What’s the use of this? If you can’t make the first wave of money, it will be futile to continue studying.
Most of the laboratory projects will be closed.
The researchers at the Institute of Non-Humanity were really unwilling to accept this! Last time Zhang Jiali was forced to accept the investigation, they dared not continue their research.
Now that effective drugs are available, should we continue?
They asked Zhang Jiali whether they wanted to replicate Su Xiaocai's medicine or continue their unfinished research.
The Inhuman Research Institute seems to have abundant funds, but they have to support many researchers, and the source of materials has to be brought back by mercenaries, or even smuggled back, which costs a huge amount.
If Zhang Jiali had not joined midway and become deputy director, many secret projects would have to be stopped.
Zhang Jiali's eyes were gloomy. He didn't listen much to what other people said. He only knew that his superiors were investigating him and keeping an eye on him every day. It was already good enough for him to protect himself. How could he have the energy to work on the project?
A researcher called Zhang Jiali again, and Zhang Jiali came to his senses and said, "Don't do the project yet. I have some trouble here."
As for what the trouble was, the researcher wanted to ask but couldn't, as Zhang Jiali looked as if he didn't want to explain.
"But, all the customers have gone to the hospital. How can we continue the normal operation of the institute?"
"Aren't there still those remaining patients?"
"Those patients..." They are not worth showing off. Not only do they cost money, but sometimes they also cost researchers money.
"Okay, proceed with the gene repair projects you can, and stop them temporarily if you can't. I'll go upstairs and have another meeting with other researchers."
Zhang Jiali walked away absent-mindedly.
Zhang Jiali could still handle it when the law enforcement department investigated him, but every time they investigated, they couldn't find anything.
What annoyed him even more was the Li family. They heard the news from somewhere that he used Feng Ruchuan to lead Li Kuanyun astray.
Now they are secretly targeting him and the fight will almost end until his death.
But Zhang Jiali was unable to redress his injustice. He didn't know that using Feng Ruchuan would cause such trouble.
Being attacked from both sides, he couldn't contact the leader.
Only the leader can contact them, but they can never contact the leader and can only leave messages in secret codes at best.
The Li family has been involved in gangster activities and knows a lot of despicable methods. Zhang Jiali is not afraid of open attacks, but is afraid of revenge in secret.
It was a foolproof plan, but in the end, nothing was gained.
Why did it fail, why?
He looked at the Inhuman Research Institute behind him. There were more than just research institutes on the capital planet.
Many planets have them. The director is just a decoration, and the entire institute is in his hands. Because of the special nature of the institute, he can even mobilize some soldiers to help transport the insect corpses back.
After leaving the military, only here can he satisfy the feeling of commanding troops and having power in his hands as he did in the past.
It was because that idiot Feng Ruchuan went after Li Kuanyun. Why didn't he go after anyone else but Li Kuanyun, which brought him into conflict with the Li family.
How to fight back? Zhang Jiali is not the kind of person who will let others plot against him. If someone comes to attack him, he will definitely fight back.
If Su Xiaocai knew that another bishop had surfaced, she would definitely be eager to take action and praise herself as the killer of evil.
The insufficient supply of medicines will naturally lead to new problems.
This time it’s not that someone is behind the scenes causing trouble, but that a large number of people seeking medicine really want the medicine.
They sat quietly at the entrance of the company, with two floating light billboards above their heads and banners tied to them. They asked Su Xiaocai to produce more medicine, saying that they wanted to live.
Even when law enforcement officers came to chase them away, they refused to leave. They were all patients or their family members. They didn’t really want to make trouble, but they really couldn’t get their medicine.
There are many people with serious illnesses. Those who can get medicine every day are those who have taken the medicine in the previous batch. If new people want it, they have to wait for more medicine to come out.
They knew that it was not easy for Su Xiaocai to invent new drugs, so they did not ask for a price reduction or for the public disclosure of the drug production. They just wanted more drugs. They wanted to know whether Su Xiaocai could increase production.
When Su Xiaocai woke up early in the morning and heard the news, she was stunned.
After finding out what happened, we can only call a meeting.
If this issue is not explained clearly, it is likely to cause bigger problems.
Lu Qin was helpless. No matter how busy he was, he had to take time to come over and discuss with Su Xiaocai how to solve the problem.
This medicine must be extracted from bamboo shoots, which are the raw material. Only by planting bamboo can bamboo shoots be produced. When planting bamboo, special nutrient solution must be used to encourage it to take root and sprout.
Nutrient solution cannot be prepared whenever you want. The technology is controlled by Su Xiaocai.
Moreover, after digging out the bamboo shoots, they must be processed in time.
The shelf life of the medicine is not long, so you can’t stockpile it.
Therefore, it will take at least three months for the production to be increased. Only when the weather is warmer can a large amount of raw materials be available.
This situation has never occurred before when important new drugs were released.
Some people actually thought of sitting in silence and blocking the door in order to get medicine.
In the long run, it would be bad for the company's image. But it was impossible to promise them to increase the amount of medicine, as there was simply not enough material to process.
In order to solve the problem as soon as possible, Lieutenant General Bai and the directors of several large public hospitals in the capital also participated in the meeting.
A big reason why patients blocked the door was because of their trust in Su Xiaocai.
When other new drugs come out, most people will first question their efficacy, observe for a period of time to see if anyone uses them, and then see if there are any side effects.
Finally, consider whether to proceed with this medication.
Su Xiaocai's medicine directly skipped the "observation" step and gained their trust.
Most patients believe that Su Xiaocai's products must be of the highest quality, which is why they rush to Jingshen to ask for medicine.
When Lu Qin read out the results of the investigation, Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes and said, "It turns out that being trustworthy can also have such disadvantages."
Lieutenant General Bai: "So can you increase the dosage? The military cannot take up all the medicine. Soldiers are the most likely to suffer genetic breakdown, and treatment cannot be delayed."
The director of the big hospital said there was no other way. Other treatments could only suppress the condition and would not help the patient. Since there were specific drugs, how could the patient be willing to spend more money on suppression, which would be a waste of time.
What's more, they also have to see whether Su Xiaocai is in a good mood. If not, what will happen if she doesn't give them any money at all?
After much discussion, there was no very effective solution.
Su Xiaocai spread her hands, "Then there is only one way."
"any solution?"
"Tell me sincerely." Su Xiaocai was still thinking about hiding the Emperor Wu Bamboo for a while.
I am afraid that after patients know the function of Wu Di bamboo shoots, they will go crazy to dig wild ones, and by then all the wild Wu Di bamboo will be dug up.
"Aren't you afraid that others will learn it?" Lieutenant General Bai asked in public.
"The technology is in my hands, how can I suffer a loss?" I will just make less money.
You still have to buy the culture medium from her, and not everyone has space to grow bamboo at home. Bamboo is xenophobic, and except for fungi and the silvergrass that feed on raw meat, few other plants can grow on it.
Families who like to grow flowers can at most raise some small ornamental bamboos. Wudi bamboo is a large bamboo, and the thickest bamboo body is so large that you can't even hug it with both hands.
"After it is announced, everyone will learn how to farm, which is not bad." If the Wu Emperor bamboo shoots are to have the effect of repairing genes, they must be dug up and eaten fresh. By then, anyone with land will learn how to grow vegetables.
It also perfectly puts an end to the title of the No. 1 vegetable farmer and sets a new trend. Let’s all plant bamboo.
Encouraging people to plant it at least proves that what she said is true. The inability to increase production is not for the purpose of raising prices, but because there is really no raw material.
It also takes time for bamboo to grow.
Wu Emperor Bamboo requires more care. Suitable soil and nutrient allocation are very important. If the environment changes slightly, they will die. Although they appear to grow roughly, they actually need to be pampered.
"As long as you are willing to announce it, we won't be short of medicine," said Lieutenant General Bai.
"I can't do without you. In the end, I have to give up my own interests to solve it. Next time, I won't call you for a meeting. It's a waste of time."
Everyone: "..." If you are more straightforward, you will offend us.
"It's your problem in the first place. We can only help you with some of your security issues." Lieutenant General Bai stood up slowly, his posture straight. "If you need anything, just tell me. Don't be polite. After all, I can't help you with anything that's too impolite."
Su Xiaocai: "Please shut your poisoned mouth, Lieutenant General Bai."
"Heh." His mouth is not that poisonous. Ji Li's is more poisonous, killing people without being seen.
A sit-in led Su Xiaocai to compromise, which was something no one expected.
Without making any noise or argument, he sincerely negotiated the conditions with Su Xiaocai. He would satisfy all that she could and would not let others down.
At the end of the get off work day, Su Xiaocai told the people who were sitting in meditation about the raw materials.
People who meditate know that the raw material is not synthetic, but extracted from bamboo. The amount of bamboo is limited, so the output cannot be increased.
They stopped struggling, bowed to thank Su Xiaocai, and left.
Three days later, the government took the lead in organizing a team to guard the growth area of wild Wudi bamboo and make preparations.
Su Xiaocai announced the efficacy of Wudi bamboo shoots and told everyone how to grow bamboo.
If suitable land is found, Emperor Wu bamboo can grow after being planted, but if the soil is not suitable, the soil needs to be adjusted and then her special culture solution needs to be added for planting.
The culture solution is not expensive, and if you have land, you can try planting it.
As for success or not, it depends on experience and patience.
For some people, even cacti can die.
Some people, like Su Xiaocai, rely entirely on robots to farm.
The methods have been told, and there is nothing more that can be done.
