809: Chapter 809: The World Erupts!

Sinner through the Ages!

Good deeds seldom leave the house, while bad news travels a thousand miles!

After finally looking forward to a live broadcast across the entire network, announcing the successful development of a new drug that could cure the virus,

While the whole world was caught up in celebration and exultation, they were suddenly doused with a bucket of ice water, chilled to the bone!

From being filled with hope to unprecedented disappointment…

This psychological gap led directly to anger!

Unprecedented anger!

Throughout history, this has always been a vicious cycle!

In truth, whether or not the Sakuragi Hana virus epidemic existed, this vicious cycle has always been present.

However, the epidemic has caused more people to suffer, making this cycle untenable.

Because once infected with the virus, one would soon die, leaving no chance to desperately earn money for medical expenses.

Furthermore.

Many people suffering from serious illnesses knew that they could be cured by surgery or improved with medication, yet without money, they were forced to endure the pain and give up.

Of course, they would also curse the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies for being profit-driven and disregarding human life!

Various sharp and fierce criticisms pointed out that there were many ways to achieve multiple benefits at once, allowing Wu Jie to break even while also curing virus patients, completely eradicating the crisis, and bringing real benefits to the general public.

For example, if he disclosed the research and development costs, countries could pool money to pay him, then globally share the manufacturing process and recipe, so everyone could make the Detox Pills.

Wouldn’t that swiftly eradicate the epidemic?

And Wu Jie would still make money!

Therefore!

People from many countries were excited and angry!

They demanded pressure be applied to Wu Jie and the Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group.

They insisted that Wu Jie must make concessions for the common good and safety of all mankind.

Either accept the financial compensation offered by the nations and then hand over the manufacturing process so that all the world’s pharmaceutical companies could produce the drug, or substantially lower the price, ensuring that the drug, priced at no more than 200,000 yuan per pill, was both affordable and available to the poor.

Of course, Wu Jie could also present other solutions.

But the core principle was—massive production and affordable prices!

If he ignored the voice of the people from various countries, if he didn’t take strong and effective measures quickly, then he should be ready to face serious consequences!

As for the consequences…

Although Wu Jie was a Glassy Continent’s person and other countries’ laws could not reach him, and selling drugs at high prices wasn’t strictly illegal,

But to be human, one must have a conscience!

The Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group was an international business!

Through economic sanctions, they could be forced to comply.

Such as not doing business with the group, revoking their ongoing projects, boycotting their exported products…

They could list all 100,000-plus employees of the group onto a blacklist, banning even transit flights.

Use various powerful measures to make it impossible for the group to make money, driving it directly into bankruptcy.

And call for Glassy Continent to investigate the group’s monopolistic profiteering and unfair competition practices.

In short.

If they dare not agree, there are many methods and the consequences would be very serious.

This “might is right” kind of moral coercion in public opinion, under the instigation of some international forces with ulterior motives, has grown increasingly fierce.

Therefore.

Many netizens abroad were driven mad, infuriated, boiling over.

Many international internet celebrities, stars, and the media also joined in, fueling the fervor, overwhelmingly vast and impossible to handle.

And as for threats, intimidation, verbal abuse, bribes…

Under this influence.

The official website of the Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group, their electronic mailboxes, customer service phone lines…

suffered an unprecedented assault.

Branches, offices, project departments spread across the world were also surrounded and protested against.

As time passed…

The situation grew increasingly intense.

Cursing Wu Jie for being purely profit-driven, heartless, shameless, selling outrageously priced drugs as if greedy for money, taking advantage of people’s life-saving money, an eternal sinner who endangered humanity, who would surely go to hell after death, never to be reborn…

Cursing Tanglong Industrial Group for being utterly irresponsible, being an international business, a Fortune 500 company, yet with no public morals, deserving of boycotts and sanctions, such a company was bound to go bankrupt sooner or later…

Beyond the cursing and ranting, there were actually people clamoring that they should respond to the call of international media, sympathize with the plight of the foreign public, and join the world’s people in exerting all-out pressure and protesting.

If he didn’t agree, then they would thoroughly investigate the group, punishing them severely for monopoly practices and profiteering.

They wanted Wu Jie to be fined into bankruptcy, clanging into prison, letting the talented in jail properly discipline this conscienceless dog.

To bring down this unscrupulous enterprise, make it impossible for them to do business, sell no products, have their employees resign voluntarily, and ultimately go bankrupt and close down.

…

Public opinion exploded, bearing down menacingly.

From the live broadcast of good news across the entire internet and globe, to the international media revelations, to the rapid spread like wildfire…

The speed was incredibly fast; within just a few hours, the whole world was in an uproar.

The initial exposé was especially detailed.

It claimed that the Detox Pill could cure not only the Sakuragi Hana virus but also many other serious diseases like AIDS and cancer.

Of course, such statements were made for promotional hype, to pressure and demonstrate with the help of patients who weren’t infected by the virus but had other diseases.

It also revealed secrets like a “starting price of 200,000 yuan per pill and the highest bidder wins at the auction.”

Obviously, only those national pharmaceutical enterprises that attended the secret meetings and cooperation agreements could have known this!

Although the international media outlet that leaked the news was not part of any secret meeting,

how did they get the information and so accurately at that?

And once the affair was exposed, it spread extremely rapidly.

Evidently, within those twenty-nine delegations, there were pharmaceutical representatives who deliberately leaked the information, and there could be more than one.

They leaked the news, incited international forces, continuously fanned the flames, and added fuel to the fire…

And their painstaking aim was, of course, to force Wu Jie to openly reveal the formula and manufacturing process for the Detox Pill.

As for increasing production, lowering prices, supplying globally…

They of course knew that this was simply impossible.

Although they hadn’t been successful in reverse-engineering and duplicating it, they at least knew that the manufacturing of the Detox Pill was not easy.

With over seven billion people in the world, even if the price per pill dropped to one thousand or even one hundred yuan, supplying millions of pills a day…

There would still be outrage over the price being too high, the production too low, and a blatant disregard for human life.

In summary,

“We’ve been duped by treachery!” Tan summarized everything to Wu Jie in a single sentence.

When they signed the secret agreement, they were all too eager and assured that it would be kept confidential, and not a single piece of information would be leaked.

It was agreed that they would only claim to have discovered a drug to defeat the Sakuragi Hana virus.

But the source of the drug and auction bidding would remain strictly confidential.

But what about the result?

Just three auctions had taken place from yesterday to today.

Yincheng Pharmaceutical won the first bid at noon yesterday, at a price of four hundred thousand per pill.

Clearly.

After two competitive rounds, they must have conspired in secret.

They didn’t want Wu Jie to make tens of billions every day, so they went ahead and leaked the secret to create a big fuss.

Their methods were incredibly covert, making it difficult to pinpoint which national pharmaceutical enterprise leaked the information.

As the situation blew up, the higher-ups of these pharmaceutical enterprises started making calls.

One after another, they claimed it wasn’t them who leaked the information.

They all adhered strictly to the terms of the agreement and would continue to participate in the auction as always, no matter how things were handled.

What did these statements imply?

Were they mocking Wu Jie for not taking precautions, leading to the leak?

In the end, it really is all about interests.

Such agreements…

They are only valuable if everyone strictly adheres to them; otherwise, they’re truly not even worth the paper they’re printed on.

However…

Many were anxious and infuriated.

But Wu Jie didn’t care.

What’s the hurry?

What’s there to fear?

It would be better for billions of people around the world to go mad with hatred.

Throughout history, no one has ever been cursed and despised by the people to such an extreme.

I intend to be the first in all of history!
