Chapter 174 173. Last Lesson

Hans' abnormal price increase made Rick vigilant.

He originally wanted to continue to increase the price, but looking at the box inside and the expressions of Li Du and Hans, he shook his head slowly and withdrew from the bidding process.

But this guy was uneasy, and he quit and said: "It is said that there will be a bunch of heavy locomotives in this auction? Do you think the locomotive parts will be in these boxes?"

The treasure hunters were moved, but no one came up to take the risk.

Someone asked: "Do you have any reliable news? Dog ears, share it, what is in this warehouse?"

Rick is a very cautious person, he did not make a promise, but said: "I can't guarantee anything, but if there are heavy locomotives in the warehouse this time, it can only be in here. Look, there is oil stains on the corner of the box ..."

"The new car has no oil pollution. Is the news you got a new car or an old car?"

"It's a gamble? Maybe there is a locomotive inside?"

"Don't be an idiot buddy, don't pin your hopes on Dog's Ears, if he knew the locomotive was in these boxes, would he give in for four thousand dollars?"

Hans put his hands in his pockets and said impatiently: "Is there any price increase? You can increase it at will, even if it is only one yuan, I can give you this warehouse."

Many people were interested, but no one came up to participate in the shooting.

Rick's performance is too unconvincing, treasure hunters are not stupid, if there are heavy locomotives in the warehouse, the four thousand yuan can't stop Rick at all, forty thousand yuan is about the same.

For four thousand yuan, Li Du and Hans took over the warehouse.

Rick and his son showed that inexplicable smile again. Noticing this, Li Du guessed that they might also know what was in the warehouse.

The reason why he showed this expression was because he wanted to see the jokes of the two of them. After all, from the outside, these motorcycle parts were all second-hand goods and were worthless at all.

But after all, something has been gained, and Mr. Li became optimistic. No matter how much he can earn, he did not make a trip in vain today.

The last warehouse was a very ordinary home warehouse, mostly discarded furniture and home appliances, which were of no value. Li Du and Hans did not bid, and the warehouse was auctioned off by Turis.

The next step is to pay money to clean up the warehouse. The two walked to the warehouse with Godzilla. Little Rick stopped them and said, "There is a good opportunity to learn, do you want to see it?"

Li Du squinted at him and said, "What are you studying? Learning about genetic mutations? Or learning how to help others raise their sons?"

Little Rick got angry and said: "I admit that you have a bad mouth, Chinaman, but storage auctions rely on eyes and ears, not mouth. Today I will teach you a lesson!"

"Before Godzilla doesn't come, if you want to teach me a lesson, do it quickly." Li Du said disdainfully.

Little Rick didn't dare to do anything, but Li Du's combat prowess was still well-known in the treasure hunting industry in Flagstaff City.

Most of the treasure hunters did not leave. They were curious about the contents of the carton warehouse, so they gathered around the warehouse door to watch Godzilla pack the boxes.

Li Du and Hans opened the box, and a bunch of old parts were exposed.

Rick and his son were also here. Seeing these parts, little Rick exclaimed: "Wow, good luck, you got a heavy locomotive!"

The treasure hunters were full of envy when they saw the parts, but after they gathered around and looked at the contents of a few boxes, their expressions changed and they were no longer so envious.

"It's all old parts, Boss Li and Fu, these things are not very valuable." Someone said.

Li Du picked up an exhaust pipe, looked at it, and said, "But you can make money after all, right? Four thousand yuan has taken so many parts, no matter what, it's not a loss."

"Maybe we can earn two to three thousand yuan." Rick sneered, "But we are treasure pickers, not garbage pickers. Come with me guys, let me show you the charm of storage auctions!"

After hearing his words, the treasure hunters knew that his warehouse had a big harvest, so they went to the door of No. 42 warehouse in small groups.

Rick's subordinates were packing up the things in the warehouse. He said, "We all know that warehouse auctions not only rely on eyes, but also rely on ears, and rely on ears to inquire about news."

"For example, in this auction, I found out that there is a warehouse belonging to a HCV patient, but he is a rich man. This guy bought a drug that can eradicate HCV last year..."

"Sofosbuvir! Sofosbuvir from Gilead Sciences! Isn't it?!" Someone shouted immediately.

HCV is the abbreviation for hepatitis C virus, and HBV is the abbreviation for hepatitis B virus. Among them, HBV is mainly prevalent in East and Southeast Asian countries, while HCV is more common in Europe and the United States.

Although HCV can be eradicated with appropriate treatment, the cure has huge side effects and a low success rate, so the disease is very popular in Europe, America and other countries, and its popularity is very wide.

At the beginning of last year, Gilead Sciences developed a drug called Sofosbuvir, which can inhibit the NS5B RNA polymerase of HCV. According to high school biological knowledge, it is not difficult to guess that this effect on HCV as an RNA virus is simply It's a devastating blow.

Clinical trials have also confirmed this point. Sofosbuvir has a cure rate of more than 90% against HCV. When it was launched in the United States last year, liver doctors all over the world called it a "dream drug".

But this powerful drug also has a very expensive price. Gilead has set a sky-high price of 84,000 US dollars for a standard course of sofosbuvir!

You know, Sofosbuvir only needs to take 84 tablets in the combined program, that is to say, the price of each drug has reached 1,000 US dollars!

The drug was a star in the U.S. medical market last year. Its sales in its first year on the market were as high as $10.3 billion, almost surpassing the record of $12.7 billion for lipid-lowering drug Lipitor.

So when Rick mentioned 'Rich Man' and 'a drug to eradicate HCV', everyone guessed the identity of this drug. This drug is so famous!

Rick enjoyed the envious eyes of many treasure hunters, with a smug smile on his face, he slowly nodded and said, "That's right, everyone, it's Sofosbuvir!"

"Is there sofosbuvir in this warehouse?" Some people still couldn't believe it, "How many tablets are there?"

Little Rick quarreled and said, "According to what my dad heard, there is a full course of medicine in it, not only sofosbuvir, but also interferon and ribavirin!"

Sofosbuvir is the key to the treatment of HCV, but it is generally not used alone. In order to exert its curative effect, it is also used in combination with interferon, ribavirin and other drugs.

Under the combination, the cost of a course of treatment is even more expensive, and the market price is 94,500 US dollars.

After hearing this, the treasure hunters became even more envious and jealous.

Hans was also very envious and jealous: "Fake, there is a reason for this bastard to dismiss us!"

Someone found the oak cabinet, opened the lock and saw the medical records inside, and shouted: "Boss, here, the goods are here!"

Rick was immediately elated, and quickly walked over to take out the medical records and boxes of medicines inside. There was a line of clear golden letters on the box: Sofosbuvir!
