Chapter 942 Bargaining
The comfort of military aircraft is really not that good. When flying from Montana to Washington, Hashimoto Sono’s face was really not pretty, but fortunately Zhen Fan helped her adjust her breath with her internal breath, which made her feel a lot more comfortable . +≈+≈, when he got off the plane, his complexion slowly returned to normal.
After getting off the plane, a lieutenant colonel officer came over, saluted Zhen Fan and said, "Mr. Zhen, I was ordered to pick you up. Please come with us in the car!" Don't mind, the major and soldiers who came over with Zhen Fan stopped here and completed the task handover.
"What about my friend?" Zhen Fan glanced at Hashimoto Park next to him and said, "I hope she can be properly arranged and her safety guaranteed. Can you do it?"
"No problem, we have considered this situation and will send her to the Washington Hilton Hotel first, but we may restrict her freedom. She can only stay in the hotel until you are finished with the investigation, sorry , I also follow the order form, Mr. Zhen..." the lieutenant colonel said to Zhen Fan.
"I can understand, but... try to let her have more freedom!" Zhen Fan said, and walked to Hashimoto Park's side, and then gently held her face, looking at her a little pitifully Eyes, smiled, "I will be back soon, wait for me with peace of mind, and... try to cooperate with them."
"I see!" Sono Hashimoto nodded, and then looked at Zhen Fan, her eyes seemed to be full of water, but she still stood stubbornly, without any indication, knowing that Zhen Fan got into the car and the convoy drove away . Only then did she feel two lines of cool tears on her cheeks, and she didn't know why she was like this. Was this just a deal? Why do you feel this way? Is this still in the play? It's like dying in his arms and weeping?
"Dao. He saluted Hashimoto, and then walked towards a car not far away, and Hashimoto followed. She will be sent to a hotel until Zhen Fan returns.
The car drove unhurriedly on the road, and Zhen Fan knew from looking at the route that he was not going to the White House, but to the Pentagon. The Pentagon is located in Arlington County, Virginia, southwest of Washington, and is actually not too far from the White House, on the west bank of the Potomac River. Soon Zhen Fan and the others arrived.
Security measures at the Pentagon are relatively strict. Especially the combat office, if you want to enter, you have to go through three security checkpoints, but the lieutenant colonel is obviously a staff officer who can go straight to the war room. was blocked out.
Combat strength has a lieutenant general, a major general, two colonels and a lieutenant colonel. There are also a few people who don't wear military uniforms, and a few are older, a woman in her thirties! They were discussing something, when the lieutenant colonel and Zhen Fan walked in. They all stopped at the same time.
"Mr. Zhen,
I've heard of your name a long time ago! "An old man suddenly smiled at Zhen Fan, and then extended his hand to shake Zhen Fan's hand. "It's very presumptuous, I have a lot of questions to ask you. Do you have time later? I think we can have a chat, a long chat..."
"Hello. Mr. Zhen, I am Lieutenant General Ramores. Let me just say it straight. I am responsible for this plague incident, so I have to invite you here as a last resort. Thank you very much for your kindness to the American people." Contribution, for which I am sincerely grateful. Although we have produced a vaccine, there is still no effective treatment for the infected." Lieutenant General Ramores was very straightforward, without too much politeness at all.
"Is this why I came here?" Zhen Fan laughed when he heard that, "Because I saved many American people, so I was escorted by several soldiers and flew here for so long, and then my friends were restricted. Action? That's great, I finally understand why people say, don't deal with the government, they always talk in their own right!"
This was a little rude, Lieutenant General Ramores smiled wryly, shook Zhen Fan's hand, and sighed: "I'm sorry, we have to do this too, and the government will pay a certain price for it. I will pay for it." You fight for your interests, trust me!" was all he had to say.
"We can discuss your treatment method, I think it will be of great significance." The old man said to Zhen Fan, "By the way, let me introduce myself, I am Professor Kyle Banderas, Specially responsible for the research of the virus in this incident, and the development of treatment drugs, but... Unfortunately, we have not found a more effective treatment method until now, except for your treatment drugs. We have also tested your drugs The ingredients... all seem to be medicines of some plants or mineral stones, and there is nothing surprising about it."
"This is traditional Chinese medicine. The ingredients seem to be nothing out of the ordinary. Most of them are common plants or mineral stones, etc., but our Chinese medicine pays more attention to the harmony of yin and yang of the human body, and also pays more attention to the body's own immunity. Mobilization, it depends on the internal ability of the human body to kill the virus, instead of using chemicals to kill the virus from the outside. This is the difference, so the patients cured by Chinese medicine tend to have stronger physique than before, while those cured by Western medicine Patients generally appear to be weaker than before, and this is the reason."
Since these people are so rude, Zhen Fan is also rude: "If you want my medicine to treat and resist this germ, then let me tell you, if you don't understand the principles of Chinese medicine, you will never understand it." Why do I need to use the medicine like this? If you don’t know how to change the medicine, then you will not really get the medicine to treat this virus-infected disease. So..." Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, expressing that he was helpless.
"What's your condition?" Lieutenant General Ramores asked directly. Zhen Fan didn't agree or cooperate, it was just that the conditions couldn't be negotiated. If you give him enough conditions, then... there is nothing to do He couldn't do anything, so he didn't want to waste time.
"Open the development and sales of Chinese patent medicines in the United States, remove those discriminatory restrictions on Chinese medicine and Chinese patent medicines, and let Chinese medicine be included in the national medical insurance. These are my conditions. Otherwise, you can temporarily use my Here is a generic drug, but it is impossible for you to obtain the same curative effect as the drug I prescribed!" Zhen Fan also set out his own conditions, obviously this is an opportunity, even if the maximum result cannot be achieved, However, it is an important step to promote the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States and even the world, and make it become the two major medical systems that exist side by side with Western medicine.
"It's impossible!" Before Lieutenant General Ramores could speak, that Professor Kyle Banderas yelled, "This will shake the medical system of Western medicine. I admit that Chinese medicine does have many merits , but... Traditional Chinese medicine itself still has many imperfections, and has not formed a unified standard. Let's take the treatment of diseases as an example. Different patients may have different prescriptions for the same disease. The promotion And popularization has brought great difficulties.”
I have to say that Professor Kyle Banderas has a little understanding of Chinese medicine, at least he is not so ignorant that he thinks Chinese medicine is not good, arrogant and so on. Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing, and then said: "So... Western medicine pays attention to the schedule of the system in the study, and everything can be talked about with data, but Chinese medicine pays attention to people-oriented, and changes in people and medicines will be based on different What’s more, western medicine pays more attention to what kind of disease to treat, while traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to the disease, starting with the function of the human body, no matter what the disease is, first adjust the balance of yin and yang in the human body , For example, just like the pH of the human body, the human body is always acidic, or if the alkalinity is too high, then people will get sick, so usually we will eat some alkaline foods to balance the pH, so that the body is in the healthiest state State. Chinese medicine is like this, balancing the yin and yang in the human body will make the human body in a healthy state..."
"Okay, Mr. Zhen, can I listen?" Lieutenant General Ramores suddenly said, "This is not what we are discussing now!"
"Of course, we're doing business now!" Zhen Fan looked at Lieutenant General Ramores and said with a smile, "My price has already been announced, now it's up to you, if you want to make a deal, then... Can you just consider my price tag? Of course...it's not that I'm threatening, but to take the test of Chinese medicine treatment, Chinese medicine and Chinese medical insurance must be opened. This is the progress of society, general, if you promote this with your own hands I believe that you will be recorded in the annals of history. At the very least, you will be recorded in the history of human medicine!"
"It's a tempting proposal, but... you know, the American society is different from China, we are made up of different federal governments, if you want your proposal to be promoted across the United States, then... you can only hold a Congress Those guys are going to lobby the state government congressmen. This... I really can’t control it.” Lieutenant General Ramores said with a wry smile, “My task now is to get the medicine to treat this virus from you Recipe. You can ask the price, how much you want, we can sit down and discuss, I believe the price is negotiated."
Zhen Fan looked at Lieutenant General Ramores and couldn't help laughing: "General, I'm not laughing at you. How much trading authority do you have? One million dollars? Ten million dollars? Or one hundred million?"
"I hope you don't show any numbers that make it difficult for me. We are a fair trade, and we don't mean to impose your formula, do you understand?" Lieutenant General Ramores frowned and said, "Although we can do this , but... we didn't, this is considering the good cooperation between us..."
"That's enough, general, it's really boring to say that. You don't have to threaten me. Even the President of the United States can't threaten me. You don't know me. Can't you get to know me through some intelligence agencies that specialize in me? Just Even General Von Kasser was impressed with me, I think you know that I don't threaten anyone, but no one can threaten me, General...I'm waiting for your final offer!" Zhen Fan said, facing Professor Kyle Banderas said, "Professor, it seems that our discussion has come to an end today!" (To be continued...) u
