Chapter 79(1/2)
Still have to rely on selling medicine
"Cough...cough...!"
Chen Can threw away the cigarette butt that had almost burned to his fingers. He smelled an unpleasant smell in the air and felt dizzy.
He stood up unsteadily and patted his head hard to wake himself up completely.
Mission World: "I am not the God of Medicine!"
Mission requirement: "I, Cheng Yong, did nothing for the first half of my life. My wife looked down on me and chose to divorce. My father was seriously ill and I had no money for medical treatment. I didn't even have the ability to fight for the custody of my son. Until one day, a leukemia patient came to me. He
It gave my life a new turn. I made a fortune by selling Indian generic drugs. Similarly, I saw too many separations between life and death, and suffered inner torture. My soul was cleansed again, and I decided to choose redemption. I
I sold generic drugs at a loss-making price. In the end, I lost and I went to jail. The rest of my life was muddled. My mind was filled with the experiences of those years. If I could do it over again, I hope that what I insist on can last forever.
…”
Chen Can patted his groggy head again. After learning about this time traveling mission from the system, Chen Can felt a bitter nausea in his mouth and retched again.
Chen Can knew that this was the instinctive reaction of Cheng Yong's body. This body's physical fitness was so poor!
If there was a mirror at this time, Chen Can would definitely be able to see the face in the mirror, which was bloodshot, with a wilted expression, unshaven beard, greasy all over, even the hair was shiny, and a shabby yellow and green coat was draped casually on the body.
.
A middle-aged man who failed very much in the first half of his life. This man is called Cheng Yong. He is the same age as Chen Can, thirty-three years old.
He has an eight-year-old son, a sixty-eight-year-old father, and runs a Prince’s Oil shop that can’t even pay the rent. Oh, and he also has an eight-year-old shabby van. This is all Cheng Yong has.
Life.
Dad is now living in a nursing home, and his monthly living expenses are 800 yuan, and he already owes a month's payment!
As for his wife, she was divorced two years ago and married a wealthy man. She heard that she was going to immigrate and is now in a custody battle with Cheng Yong.
In short, the first half of Cheng Yong’s life can be summed up in two words very appropriately!
"fail!"
Chen Can looked at everything in the store again. A huge Indian god statue was placed randomly in the center of the store. The bottles and cans in the store were messy. Except for the desk, which was relatively clean, the rest of the place was covered with a thick layer of
Thick dust.
Now in 2002, Viagra has become popular on the market. This magic oil has average effects and is very hot to use. Naturally, no one is patronizing it. Cheng Yong's business is getting worse day by day!
If nothing unexpected happens, this store will be locked up by the landlord and closed down!
But Chen Can had seen this movie and knew that a chronic myelogenous leukemia patient named Lu Yiyi would come to persuade Cheng Yong to go to India and help him bring generic drugs.
The story begins here, letting Cheng Yong enter a new world and changing the rest of his life!
Chen Can opened the rolling shutter door. At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside. Chen Can stood at the door and stretched!
Because he is afraid that the landlord will come to his door, Cheng Yong keeps the door ajar these days, fearing that the landlord will come to demand rent. He has been in arrears with the rent of this shop for more than half a year.
Chen Can looked back at this shabby little shop and couldn't help but smile.
Cheng Yong's wish is actually very simple, that is, to fulfill his regret for the rest of his life. This regret is actually very easy for Chen Can to fulfill now!
This regret is very simple. Make your life no longer so bad, make a lot of money, make the life of your son and family better, and sell medicines, treat more patients, and atone for your past regrets!
That time-travel coin was well spent. This world is really too simple for Chen Can!
He now has perfect skills in traditional Chinese medicine. If he really sells medicine, he can prepare hundreds of kinds of traditional Chinese medicines. With this skill, he can make a lot of money!
but!
In this world, it is obviously not possible to rely on traditional Chinese medicine, because this is already a modern world, and the real huge profits must be made by Western medicine.
Modern medicine has been basically monopolized by Western medicine. As capital has entered the pharmaceutical industry, the medical industry has developed rapidly in just a few decades. New drugs have emerged one after another for many diseases that were once terminal illnesses.
In a person's life, life, old age, illness and death, the most expensive word is illness, and the most critical thing is the word "illness". It puts countless families in trouble, and life and death are staged every day!
Capital discovered that the word "disease" hid huge profits, so in just a few decades, it began to invest huge amounts. Then, pharmaceutical giants appeared one after another. These companies gradually began to monopolize the entire industry by relying on scarce resources!
A few days later, the young man named Lu Yiyi became a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia. This disease is very lucky for the patient, but also very unfortunate for their family!
The reason why it is said to be a blessing for the patient is that chronic myelogenous leukemia is originally a terminal disease. With ordinary drug treatment, the five-year survival rate is less than 50%.
But in 2001, a new drug came on the market. It's called meglitin. As long as this drug is taken for a long time, the ten-year survival rate is as high as over 85%, and the average survival age of patients is as high as nineteen years!
In other words, this drug gives chronic myelogenous leukemia, which was once terminally ill, a chance to survive again. For patients suffering from this disease, what else can this not be a blessing?
But for this patient's family, this is an unfortunate beginning!
Because this medicine needs to be taken for life, a box of medicine costs up to 27,000 yuan, and the cost of taking the medicine for two years is 600,000 yuan!
Today in 2002, the annual drug cost of 300,000 yuan can crush 99% of Chinese families!
But even if they are overwhelmed, there are countless families who choose to sell cars and houses in order to keep their loved ones alive, and even spend all their money just to keep their loved ones alive for one more day!
Therefore, there is only one disease in this world, and that is the disease of poverty!
What does it feel like to be in despair, to be poor and helpless?
Just ask those terminally ill patients!
As for the capitalists, they have obviously already understood the true meaning of this, so in just a few decades, the pharmaceutical industry has developed rapidly!
What kind of business is there where customers don’t dare to bargain, but they have to spend all their money to buy the goods?
That’s the “medicine”!
If we add two more words, it would be "life-saving medicine!"
The industry Cheng Yong wants to enter is this life-saving medicine!
Twenty-seven boxes of life-saving medicines. If you go to India to purchase them in bulk, how much will you need?
"Ten thousand?"
"Five thousand?"
"Three thousand?"
"one thousand?"
No, it only costs five hundred!
This is the Indian generic drug, a generic drug that makes patients all over the world crazy!
And Cheng Yong purchased it for 500 yuan and sold it for 5,000 yuan in China. For those patients who need life-saving treatment, this is simply a conscientious price!
So Cheng Yong found a group of patients and their families and started this business. By selling generic drugs, Cheng Yong became a millionaire in a short period of time!
But later, he was afraid, he was afraid of going to jail, he was afraid that his children would not be accompanied by their father, and he was afraid of being reported. In the end, he chose to retreat and gave up his business to a liar who sold fake medicines!
A year later, the appearance of a person shocked Cheng Yong's heart!
Lu Yiyi's wife appeared in front of him. The woman knelt in front of him and only prayed to Cheng Yong to save Lu Yiyi!
When Cheng Yong saw Lu Yiyi again, he was already as thin as a stick. Because he couldn't afford generic medicines, he suffered from illness every day. Most importantly, his family also suffered along with him. At that time, he was already determined to die!
Cheng Yong saw with his own eyes that Lu Yiyi chose to commit suicide in order not to drag down his family!
This incident dealt a severe blow to Cheng Yong's soul.
It was precisely because of Lu's benefit that Cheng Yong embarked on the road of selling generic drugs and became a millionaire!
It is precisely because of Lu Yiyi that Cheng Yong got to know a group of friends who are trying to find hope in order to survive!
In the past, Lu Youyi always had an optimistic and smiling face in front of him.
What Lu Yiyi often says is, I still have a family and a son, so I must live well!
But it was the optimistic Lu Yiyi who chose to commit suicide because he couldn't live anymore and his family couldn't live anymore!
It was precisely because of Lu Yiyi's death that Cheng Yong got to know those patients again.
Only then did he realize that even a box of 5,000 generic drugs was not affordable for most patients. In just one year, many of his former clients had chosen to commit suicide just like Lu Yiyi!
Perhaps for self-salvation, or perhaps for spiritual cleansing, Cheng Yong once again embarked on the road of selling generic drugs. This time, he sold them at cost price or even at a loss.
The final result was, not surprisingly, Cheng Yong went in. In the end, ideals gave way to reality, and the new Lu Yiyi continued to wander around the world!
Looking back on Cheng Yong's life, Chen Can also felt very good!
In fact, it is already amazing for an ordinary person to be able to do what Cheng Yong did. At least, he has a clear conscience!
But obviously, Cheng Yong still has a lot of regrets, so, isn't it, Chen Can is here!
Chen Can will finish the rest of the regrets for him!
Chen Can's heart moved, and he called the exchange mall in his mind, using ten time-travel coins to exchange for perfect skills in Western medicine!
In fact, Chen Can knew that sooner or later he would have to redeem his Western medicine skills. As the saying goes, in modern society, Western medicine has the final say!
Although hospitals in China have opened various TCM clinics to encourage TCM, the reality is that TCM is gradually declining!
Chen Can has perfect skills in traditional Chinese medicine and is very clear about the reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine.
Take the most realistic point, doctors who study Western medicine can be trained in large numbers through systematic training.
Western medicine has established a strict system by the Western medicine industry. It is like one plus one. Everyone knows that the answer is two. In other words, Western medicine has set standards for what disease, what medicine to take, and what surgery to do!
