Is This Charity

The team leader smiled and said, "Next, Deputy Director Liu from the Healthcare Security Administration will introduce the pricing of our specific drug for stomach cancer."

"Deputy Director Liu from the Healthcare Security Administration?" The reporters looked puzzled. "Other than drugs already included in the medical insurance system, since when does any company have the prestige to have someone from the Healthcare Security Administration announce their pricing?"

"Yeah, I'm guessing it was arranged by either the Jiang family or the Su family. I have to say, it's good to have power and influence."

Deputy Director Liu announced, "The price for a bottle of this specific drug is one hundred thousand."

One hundred thousand!

The reporters were full of surprise.

"It's actually one hundred thousand, that's so cheap!"

"Doesn't that mean late-stage patients will only need a little over a million to completely cure their cancer?"

"With pricing this cheap, is Shangqing University running a charity?"

Deputy Director Liu continued, "The injection they just used is a special supply drug from Shangqing University. It only takes one injection to cure the patient. Of course, the price will be a bit higher, costing 1.7 million."

The reporters looked at each other in dismay.

Deputy Director Liu went on, "Apart from the injection, all the other specific drugs for stomach cancer developed by Shangqing University will be included in the medical insurance system."

"Once included in the medical insurance system, the price of these drugs will be thirty thousand per bottle."

"Of course, for terminal stomach cancer patients on the verge of death, we also have corresponding emergency measures. Following up with these regular specific drugs will still be able to cure the cancer."

The reporters: "!!!"

And the netizens: "!!!"

Holy crap!

Isn't this too unbelievable?

Not only are the drugs sold cheaply.

They are also included in the medical insurance system the moment they hit the market!

A reporter asked in confusion, "Generally speaking, specific drugs for cancer have to be on the market for several years before they are included in the medical insurance system. By directly including them now, the money you can make is vastly reduced. Shangqing University doesn't lack powerful backers, so why did they just include it in the insurance system like this?"

Deputy Director Liu answered, "I also asked student Lin Xuan about this. He said that as an entrepreneur, one must shoulder a certain degree of social responsibility. Stomach cancer is a pain faced by millions of families, and treating it can easily bankrupt them. Lin Xuan thus made this drug a public welfare benefit, including it in the medical insurance so that it becomes an illness everyone can afford to treat."

The reporters sighed with emotion, "Lin Xuan truly has the heart of a saint. Which entrepreneur isn't desperately trying to squeeze money out of the common people? Yet he is actually willing to give away this benefit."

Shangqing University's specific drug for stomach cancer quickly shot up the trending topics on Weibo.

Netizens: "!!!"

What were they seeing?

They actually saw that the Shangqing University research team led by Lin Xuan had successfully developed a specific drug for stomach cancer!

—Holy crap crap crap! The innocent college students led by Lin Xuan actually managed to develop a specific drug for stomach cancer.

—Sob sob sob, my dad has late-stage stomach cancer. I thought it would cost over two million to save him, and I've been frantically scraping money together these past few days, even planning to sell the house. I never expected that it would only take six hundred thousand to completely cure my dad.

—And the pricing is so low. The specific drug from Lin Li's company is priced at one hundred and twenty thousand per injection, while Lin Xuan's is ninety thousand cheaper than his.

—Lin Xuan is truly a god! To think he led a group of college students to develop such a highly effective specific drug in just a few short months! It's unimaginable!

—I'm going to apply for the medical program at Shangqing University in the college entrance exam this year. With Lin Xuan around, the medical field at Shangqing University will definitely reach unimaginable heights!

—With Lin Xuan's stomach cancer drug being so effective, who would even buy the one from Lin Li's company? This is cracking me up. Lin Li actually thought his company could turn things around in one fell swoop with today's event, but in the end, he's going to suffer a massive loss.

—I'm out, guys. I'm heading over to the livestream of Lin Li's company press conference first. I want to see Lin Li's expression when he finds out that Lin Xuan's team of college students developed a specific drug for stomach cancer.

—I'm going too, I'm going too.

The number of viewers in Lin Li's livestream surged wildly.

While speaking, Lin Li took a moment to glance at the livestream.

There were actually tens of millions of people watching their company's livestream.

And the viewer count was still rising madly!

Excellent.

Lin Li's face was filled with excitement.

This time, their specific drug for stomach cancer would definitely sell better than he had imagined!

Making tens of billions from this wave wouldn't be a problem at all.

He wouldn't need to rely on the Lin family; he could become a wealthy powerhouse all on his own.

"Boss, Lin Li is still feeling incredibly smug right now," Lei Hui said with a beaming smile.

"Mhm."

Lin Xuan curled his lips. "Let him be proud for a little while longer. Later, we'll let him properly experience what it feels like to fall from heaven straight to hell."

Lin Xuan checked the time.

"Almost time."

Butler Wang heard their conversation and looked curious, wanting to know what exactly was going to happen later.

He held himself back.

When it was finally revealed later, he realized that it was a true surprise.

If he found out now.

The drama wouldn't be nearly as delicious to watch.

Lin Li said, "We will open the purchasing interface for the specific drug for stomach cancer shortly."

"For those who need to purchase it, you are welcome to log into the Shengshi Pharmaceuticals website. Because the cost of the specific drug for stomach cancer is exorbitant and our company's funds are limited, we have only produced tens of thousands of injections this time. However, the registered purchase quantity in our company's backend over the past few days has reached two hundred thousand!"

"First come, first served."

Jiang Shuqin gave Lin Xuan another smug look.

The purchase volume of this specific drug for stomach cancer later would definitely leave Lin Xuan dumbfounded.

His expression would surely be very ugly when the time came.

"Now, I will start a three-second countdown, and our specific drug for stomach cancer will officially go on sale."

The employees of Shengshi Pharmaceuticals stood by in full readiness.

They were just waiting for Lin Li to finish counting down so they could put the drug on the market.

He was also full of excitement.

The launch of the specific drug for stomach cancer this time would definitely bring massive profits to the company.

The employees of the company would surely benefit as well!

"Three."

Lin Li began the countdown.

"Two."

"One."

"Launch!"

The staff timed it perfectly. Just as Lin Li finished speaking, the specific drug went live.

Everyone stared intently at the large screen.

They wanted to see the number of people purchasing the specific drug for stomach cancer.

Lin Li also turned around, staring closely at the big screen.

The live chat comments scrolled like crazy.

—There's a good show to watch now.

—Lin Li just gave such an impassioned speech. Just thinking about what's going to happen next makes me feel secondhand embarrassment for him. I can't take it, my toes are curling so hard they're digging a three-bedroom castle into the floor.

—Right, right, right, I'm dying of secondhand embarrassment too.

—Another drama of the year, provided to us by Lin Xuan. This is so satisfying.

—Brothers and sisters, next up, let's pay close attention to Lin Li's face when he sees that no one is buying his company's specific drug.
