"Moreover, I have other things to do during this period; I don’t have the ti to watch over this place every day."
"What things? Are they related to this business trip?" Ah Xing asked curiously.
In recent days, he had been intensely sparring with a bunch of newly recruited experts at Liang Shanbo, and only knew that Brother Biao had been on business trips. He had no clue about what he was up to.
Brother Biao wasn’t secretive either, "Chairman Gao arranged a task for to deal with a traditional Chinese dicine company to produce a type of proprietary Chinese dicine.
I’ve been leading a team to buy a pharmaceutical plant in the neighboring city these past two days."
"Traditional Chinese dicine? Doesn’t Changqing Biological specialize in pharmaceuticals? Why is this business being outsourced to us?" Ah Xing didn’t understand.
"They say their business has been too busy lately, they’re short on people, and this Chinese dicine doesn’t overlap with their existing operations at all...
So, they had register a trademark, using the na of our ’Liang Shanbo’.
Well... speaking of the formula, they seem to value it a lot; originally, Chairman Gao wanted to arrange for the security of the secret recipe at the pharmaceutical factory, but then he suddenly asked if I was willing to take charge of the factory.
I figured Chinese dicine wasn’t exactly a lucrative business, and I might even burn so cash, so I agreed to do it."
Now that he thought about it, Cheng Biao suspected that Gao Yuan might be short on funds and knew that he had so money on hand—she might have been waiting for him all along...
But that was only part of the picture.
The reason Gao Yuan wanted Cheng Biao to be responsible for the pharmaceutical factory was not only about funding but also to diversify public attention.
After all, Changqing Biological had been too frequently trending on the search engines recently.
There is no normal company in the world that could achieve one technological breakthrough after another without considerable underlying strength.
If it happens once or twice, it could be luck, but three or four tis, it’s blatantly telling people that it’s a Black Technology factory...
Although the formula for the Chinese dicine seed ordinary, ng Lang had given it to him in all seriousness, and Gao Yuan didn’t dare to underestimate it, fearing it might cause another significant upheaval.
Therefore, she decided to start anew and develop Chinese and Western dicine businesses separately.
So, Brother Biao, who had both leisure ti and money, beca the most suitable person in charge...
"Oh, what is this dicine for?" Ah Xing was sowhat puzzled.
"It seems... it’s for colds, I think? It’s called... Lotus Clearing Fever Capsules..."
...
Beijing, Disease Control Center.
"Director Wu, this is the latest data compiled. Not only Beihe Province, but also the neighboring three or four provinces and cities have successively found several cases of African Z virus-infected pigs.
The higher-ups are taking this outbreak very seriously. All provinces and cities across the country have sounded the highest level of alerts, and the ergency expert group that was put together has already rushed to assist in field investigations in the affected breeding areas.
This is Professor Huang, the head of the expert group."
"Professor Huang, this outbreak of Z fever has caused huge losses to the breeding industry in Beihe Province and the surrounding provinces and cities, and we urgently need an effective response plan.
You’re an expert in this field; do you have any strategies?"
The elderly Professor Huang adjusted his glasses with a solemn facial expression, responding to the inquiry.
"The African Z virus is aggressive this ti, not only is its transmission route extrely covert, but it is also highly infectious. In just a month, it has spread to half of the north and still shows the trend of spreading further into major provinces in the south.
Our initial preparations were insufficient, and conventional thods will likely be unable to stop its spread.
The only solution now is to strictly implent biosecurity regulations to minimize the losses."
"But that thod is a temporary solution, not a cure. Are we really helpless against it beyond this?"
With a helpless shake of his head, Professor Huang said, "The African Z virus is a centennial challenge that perplexes the dical community worldwide, and dostically, we lack the corresponding preventive asures..."
Seeing the disappointnt on Director Wu’s face, Professor Huang hesitated for a mont before speaking again.
"Although we are powerless with traditional thods, there was an academic paper on a ’genetic recombination attenuated live vaccine’ against this virus, published so ti ago in the Willow Leaf Flying Blade journal.
Although I can’t be sure of its authenticity, I’ve heard that the Northern Country has already confird the vaccine’s effectiveness..."
"What? Does that an there’s already a targeted vaccine available?"
"Mmm... I don’t have specific experintal data, so I cannot be certain, but our strain of the African Z virus most likely ca from the Northern Country and probably hasn’t mutated on a large scale yet.
In theory, if this vaccine is effective against their strain, it should also work on our dostic strain."
Director Wu’s face brightened with surprise. "Then what are we waiting for? The situation is extrely urgent! By the way, which biological enterprise in the Northern Country developed this product?
If we can confirm the vaccine’s effectiveness, we can imdiately apply for an ergency import!"
"That... an import is not necessary. It seems that the developer of this vaccine is actually one of our own dostic enterprises..."
"What? A dostic enterprise?" Director Wu was startled and after hesitating for a mont, thoughtfully asked.
"Professor Huang, are you sure there are no other effective thods besides this vaccine?"
"Given the current situation, conventional biosecurity ans have limited effect. If there’s any thod in the world that can minimize our losses to the greatest extent, it may well be that this newly erged vaccine is our only hope."
