Chapter 863 The Price of the Shit Stirring Stick

"A new drug, this drug can alleviate the side effects of the X gene. In fact, this is the result of Dr. Hanke's research for many years, but there have been some breakthroughs recently." Katie said to the foreign ministers of various countries through a video conference.

"In fact, both Professor X and Dr. Hank are working to ease the conflict between mutants and ordinary people. I am their student, and I share the same philosophy as them. At the same time, Dr. Hank is an excellent scientist , I believe everyone has heard of this. He has a lot of knowledge in genes and biology."

Katie is telling the truth, Dr. Hank's level of research is no secret. In fact, he joined the X-Men formed by S.H.I.E.L.D. when he was young.

He made all the invisible materials including SHIELD's sky carrier. Dr. Hank and Professor Charles have always had a semi-official status. Before the closure of the Xavier School of Geniuses, the US government was well aware of some of their movements. The mutant school established by Professor Charles and Dr. Hank was used to balance Magneto's mutant brotherhood.

However, due to various accidents, Xavier School for Geniuses was forced to close down. So far, the U.S. government has also lost the whereabouts of Professor Charles and others, and it is difficult to trace him.

After all, this is Professor X! A man who has contended against Magneto King Max for nearly half a century. Organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the FBI have listed Magneto as the most wanted criminal for so many years without catching him.

If Professor X doesn't want others to find him, then these intelligence agencies really can't catch him. The only reassuring thing is that, fortunately, Professor Charles is a pacifist, not a radical like Magneto. Otherwise, the President of the United States will not be able to sleep well at night.

In fact, most people can guess that Professor X is behind the establishment of Tuvalu (this guess is not entirely accurate). Because the members of the new X-Men team formed by Tuvalu are almost all teachers or students of Xavier School of Gifted Talents.

Although Charles - Xavier never made an official appearance. But everyone believes that Professor Charles is behind all this.

But even behind the scenes, Charles's approach to things is moderate, despite the surprising formation of Tuvalu. But Tuvalu's formal approach is not radical. Especially now that there is a new medicine.

Relieve the pain of the disease of the Epsilon-level mutants, but it will eliminate the X gene. Well, this kind of thing probably cannot be done by others, but if the good old Professor Charles is behind it, he will indeed do this kind of thing that hurts himself and benefits others.

Tuvalu is just developing, and it needs a large number of mutants to work together to create a powerful country. The new potion will undoubtedly split the originally united mutants into two groups.

This kind of thing looks downright stupid in the eyes of politicians. After all, Professor Charles is still not a qualified politician! Even if he can teach some very good students, those students may be very good in thought and have high moral standards. But that's not how politics works!

Tuvalu's self-destruction of the Great Wall has been applauded by politicians in other countries. Especially after Katie has clearly revealed that this medicine was developed by Dr. Hank, everyone has a vague feeling that it is Professor X's handwriting.

If Professor X is behind Tuvalu, then these foreign ministers will have something to worry about. They know how to deal with it. At least the previous confidence in the new drug has increased from 5% to 20%. This is not a small increase.

After all, Professor Charles has always been a semi-public figure. His name is on the attention list of global leaders. After half a century of research and observation, everyone knows him well.

Of course, they have thoroughly studied Professor Charles, but what if the opponent is not actually Professor Charles? Or is it that Professor Charles is just pushed out as a smoke screen?

The complexity and twists and turns of the entire X freshmen plan are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In Li Jie's view, this plan is much more difficult than killing Hydra.

"New drug, Dr. Hanke has been researching it for almost half a century. It is dedicated to alleviating the pathological problems of Epsilon-level mutants. We know that many mutants don't actually have much practical ability, but they have to bear the burden of the mutant ability. side effects. This seriously troubles their daily life. The purpose of Tuvalu is to allow more mutants to have a better life. Since these people's abilities have brought them troubles, then we should naturally reach out to help us compatriots, so that they can live a better life."

Katie spoke with sincerity, and this little girl under the age of twenty had sincere feelings. Because everything she said came from her true inner thoughts, not any acting skills. Therefore, even those foreign ministers from various countries who have read people's hearts and dealt with all kinds of ghosts and snakes for a long time did not feel that there was any flaw in what Katie said.

"Then since this potion is so good, you should produce more to help those mutants who are in trouble. Isn't this your responsibility? Since you said that the purpose of Tuvalu is to make more mutants live better. "The British foreign minister continued to ask questions.

Katie smiled wryly and shook her head: "As I said, we don't have that much money. Manufacturing this batch of potions is a very expensive thing. In fact, we only made about two hundred potions, and there is nothing we can do."

The foreign ministers fell silent.

The U.S. foreign minister frowned and asked, "To get straight to the point, I don't quite trust your medicine. Tell me exactly what your purpose is."

Katie raised her brows and replied indifferently: "I can provide one or two medicines to your US Food and Drug Administration. I know that there are many guys who discriminate against mutants in the United States, and I have met them. You can go to Study these medicines carefully, maybe those radicals who oppose mutants will clamor for all mutants in the United States to inject this medicine!"

"Ahem." The American Foreign Minister coughed unnaturally twice. In fact, what Katie said is not wrong. There have been discussions within the Congress. If this drug is really harmless, maybe someone will really promote the full injection of the new drug. Maybe it will be included in the vaccine!

Americans are very open, but on the other hand they can also be conservative and stubborn, especially some radicals. They are no longer stubborn but paranoid.

"Okay, President Katie, this is not the time for angry words. We really hope to know the true effect of this potion." It was the Chinese foreign minister who smoothed things over.

As the country with the largest number of mutants, China also has the most Epsilon-level mutants. Compared to other levels of variants, Epsilon is the worst. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have permanent disabilities, and various side effects have seriously affected their daily work and life.

Although China is very lenient on mutants, and also uses the abilities of mutants to every corner of production and life. But the Epsilon-class mutants couldn't help at all. To say something ugly that has never been made public: the Epsilon class is a bunch of waste, and this kind of mutant ability is worse than not having it!

Because the status of mutants in China is different from that of other countries, this has led to the inclusion of Epsilon-level mutants in the minimum standard of medical insurance and social security for the disabled.

Just the expenditure of this piece every year makes China feel very heartbroken. This is not a small amount of money! If the side effects of an Epsilon-level mutant can be completely cured, then spending a little money is perfectly acceptable.

"As I said, the true effect of this potion is as I said just now, without any adulteration." Indeed, there is no adulteration, because this is only the original potion in the new potion of Project X, and Dr. Hank has not added those mutant abilities "Condiments" go in.

"If mass production, what is the output and input?" The Chinese Foreign Minister asked with great interest.

"If you can produce 500,000 medicines per year, the initial investment in the entire production line will be no less than two billion dollars! The production cost of the first batch of medicines will be extremely high, but the subsequent costs will be reduced." Katie said Li Jie and Tony negotiated a good offer from the beginning.

"If the scale is to be expanded, then the investment will continue to increase."

"So what if China intends to cooperate with Tuvalu?" The Chinese foreign minister asked directly in front of other foreign ministers. Anyway, everyone here knows about the strategic relationship between China and Tuvalu, so there is no need to cover it up.

"Sorry, it's impossible for us to provide technology-sharing cooperation. For some reason." Katie glanced at the foreign ministers of the United States and the United Kingdom.

"This technology may be a boon for mutants, but it may also be highly toxic. We cannot hand over the initiative to others. We can provide drugs as a source of follow-up financing, just like crowdfunding products. But we It will not provide and share technology." Katie said, looking at many foreign ministers.

"Since developed countries can provide funds for Russia to reduce its nuclear weapons, it can also reduce greenhouse emissions in underdeveloped countries. Why not try to help more people?"

Everyone is silent, they still have their own abacus to calculate carefully. Tuvalu wants empty-handed white wolves? It's that simple!

………………………

Dum listened to Li Jie's various statements with a blank expression, and finally said: "You mean to make me a shit-stirring stick? Do you think I look like a British? I'm an authentic Slavic and Unlo-Saxon has nothing to do with it!"

Li Jie shook his head: "Don't call it so ugly as a shit stick. Isn't this helping more people?"

"But are you planning to empty my private treasury? Billions of dollars, this is not a small amount of money, used to promote Tuvalu?" Dum still said coldly.

"You did invest billions today, but it's not free. You have to consider the political impact that will benefit you. Well, even if you don't plan to be the ruler of Latvia in the future, But it’s always good to have a good name, right?”

Du Mu snorted coldly at what Li Jie said, and he sneered.

"Well, I know you don't care about fame, but don't you want to revert to being handsome?" Li Jie continued.

Doom continued coldly: "I don't think my face is worth billions of dollars!"

"Okay, okay! All the underwriting of X New Life Potion (Beautiful Potion) in the thirty countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia for the next ten years will be yours!" The killer is out.

There was a smile on the corner of Dum's mouth: "Thirty years!"

Li Jie: "Fifteen years. That's a lot, do you know how much it's worth?!"

Doom: "But the risk is just as big, and there's not enough interest to be worth the risk. Twenty-five years."

Li Jie: "Okay, one-buy price, all sales in thirty countries in twenty years, I promise not to let any bottle of medicine not sold by you end up in Eastern Europe!"

Dum smiled: "Deal."

The two big hands held together and reached a consensus.
