Chapter 311: Taking the Initiative

The Norwegian ship magnate went bankrupt, because his words offended Damei. It can be said that he was in trouble in all aspects, and no one could save him!

Next, it will naturally be a feast to carve up high-quality assets after bankruptcy, and capital from all parties will show their talents.

After all, to get such a title, he still has a lot of good things on his side.

However, those platforms and ships that have been refitted in the shipyard and are being seized are completely unrobbed by Umbrella.

Because only Umbrella can use this thing!

Buy it and sell it to the other party?

The other party just doesn't want it, so it's not bad?

So Umbrella got the hulls he originally wanted at the reserve price of the auction.

However, because these modified platforms are concentrated in the European region, it will take some time to drag them back to East Asia and reconcile with other platforms.

The maneuverability of many platforms requires tugboats, not to mention the slow speed, and many of them are not convenient to take the canal, so they need to detour the Cape of Good Hope.

However, the newly created platform has not yet come out. After all, even if it is extra money and overtime, this kind of big guy still needs time.

It took three years for Daewoo Shipyard to build the million-ton Pioneering Spirit.

However, because Umbrella is willing to spend money, they are all operating 24 hours a day, so even a three-seater platform with a million-ton level is enough for about a year.

After all, Umbrella's orders were divided into many factories, and almost all shipyards started construction at the same time.

At the same time, two new virus-specific immunoglobulins from Purdue Pharmaceuticals have also been approved!

The first one is the specific immunoglobulin of ‘hepatitis C’!

There are nearly 200 million hepatitis C patients worldwide, and there is a special drug for hepatitis C virus, which is Havani produced by Gilead.

A 12-week course of treatment costs nearly $100,000 in total!

Therefore, the annual sales of Havani rank second among all pharmaceuticals in the world, as high as 9 billion US dollars!

That is to say, as long as 100,000 of the 200 million patients take this drug every year, this terrifying sales volume can be achieved.

At the beginning, someone compared Umbrella's hepatitis B specific drug, which made many people understand Umbrella's conscience.

As it happens, the Gilead company is also one of the industries of the Sackler family. It can be said that just one shot broke the backbone of this company in an instant!

In an instant, the hepatitis C specific medicine, which can cost nearly tens of billions of dollars every year, was directly dried up!

Since Umbrella's new drug is placed in Purdue Pharmaceuticals, its original purpose is to make money and compete, so the price is almost comparable to the original "hepatitis C" specific drug, which can be said to be more targeted at The effect of the parallel replaces the other's market.

After all, the traditional antiviral drugs themselves have a lot of side effects on the body, and the course of treatment is too long. It is far less effective than the immunoglobulin that has been verified on 'hepatitis B'.

Immediately after the price broke out, the domestic market once again understood how "benevolent" the selling price of Umbrella's hepatitis B specific drug was!

Raising the price by ten times or even a hundred times can easily increase their sales!

Moreover, by reducing the production, you can also 'leave' more sources of transmission, and become a long stream of water!

For example, now, almost all hepatitis B patients are cured in one breath, which has led to the near-stop production of hepatitis B-specific immunoglobulin.

Although it did make a fortune because of the number of patients, but in terms of income, it is far from the long-term model of Gilead's hepatitis C specific drug!

Now that the original price of the medicine is really shown, this kind of comparison of the same kind and the difference of the same product still make everyone feel deeply shocked.

"It's no wonder domestic support for Umbrella is so strong. This is a real friend."

"I'm convinced, I remember there were black Umbrellas before, why are they black? Why are they black!"

"Yes, this is a conscientious enterprise."

"Hehe, conscience? They can sell hepatitis B medicine for a few hundred yuan, which means that the cost is lower and they can still make money! Now the hepatitis C medicine costs tens of thousands of dollars, which means that the conscience has been eaten by dogs."

"Fucking shit, there are so many special effects medicines of the same type on the market with so many prices, and the medicines are more effective and can't be sold at the same price? Why didn't you see you spraying Gilead?"

"How can this be the same! Gilead is a civilized country company listed on the market. They invest so much in research and development. Of course, they need high prices to make up for the initial research and development costs. Otherwise, who would research new drugs?"

"And then? Umbrella's doesn't count?"

"Umbrella is obviously using old technology and previous experience. Of course, there is no need for additional research and development costs. Since it can be sold for a few hundred dollars before, it can be sold now of course!"

"It's ridiculous, it's still an old technology, can you please distinguish the difference between hepatitis B and hepatitis C first? Hepatitis B is a DNA virus, which can be easily prevented by vaccines. Hepatitis C is an RNA virus that is easy to mutate, okay?"

"It's just that the tens of dollars of my own medicine is too expensive, and the tens of thousands of imported medicines are said to be what they deserve, double standards."

After all, more people have been helped by Umbrella, especially after comparing the drug prices this time, they can better understand the rarity before.

So generally speaking, there are more positive comments, after all, the price of the previous hepatitis B medicine is here!

"Hey, Umbrella really made a lot of concessions for our market."

"No matter what purpose and intention they have, it is undeniable that the 'hepatitis B specific immunoglobulin' has solved the pain of many patients before."

"Actually, this is the theoretical price of a new drug, let alone such a good effect."

"Yes, the effect of the hepatitis B special drug has been shown. Word of mouth is here. It can be cured quickly. Who would use such a long-term virus-suppressing drug, and it will have side effects on the body."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to what Umbrella's second drug will be."

"Yeah, it's still very mysterious."

"Haha, it can't be a special medicine for the zombie virus."

"Umbrella's technology is really possible."

"Fuck! It's Ebola!"

"!!"

"shock!"

"The one infected with a mortal virus?"

"I heard that even zombies have been killed by Ebola."

"Awesome!"

"Is there a possibility that given Umbrella time, the immunoglobulin of the zombie virus can also be developed?"

"..."

If the "hepatitis C" virus announced by Umbrella was purely for stealing money, then the immunoglobulin against Ebola has really attracted considerable attention!

Different from the stable situation in the country, the chaos in the beautiful territory is now intensifying.

There are often rumors of various zombies entering the city and causing riots.

Orders for various shelters have surged.

Arms dealers have also entered the carnival moment.

I can't understand their current situation at all.

In particular, there are some big and beautiful videos that really show someone biting someone, someone biting their face and so on.

But in the end, it was found out that it was all caused by excessive drinking.

Anyway, it's really a show of constant operations.

But it's obviously already such a mess, but through some news, videos on TT, and some observations under simultaneous translation, it seems that this still doesn't have a great impact on Damei.

The slight inflation that was caused was easily calmed down by raising interest rates, and they continued to point fingers at the outside every day, as if the operation had not been affected at all!

This situation has actually seen many people express emotion and admiration.

"The upper and lower layers can already be regarded as reproductive isolation."

"Yeah, I have a classmate who is studying there, saying that as long as you don't go to places you shouldn't go, you won't feel anything at all!"

"I have friends who travel too. I feel that studying abroad and traveling there are completely isolated from normal life."

"It's really a dream."

"Beautiful dream, there are still many people who want to take the line to go there..."

"There is nothing wrong with pursuing a better life, as long as you don't turn around and attack us."

"If you don't attack us, how can you show that their decision is correct, how can you show their sense of superiority? Thinking too much."

"In fact, really capable and high-quality talents are rarely attacked. When difficulties and disasters arise, they will actively raise donations. However, those who have worked hard through various channels have finally become the bottom. How about it? Compare it with a dishwasher?"

"But look, Umbrella has published some papers on the K virus."

"Damn it, you still have to rely on Umbrella to manage the zombies..."

"..."

Umbrella published some related research papers on the K virus, giving some virus characteristics in great detail.

It's just that after the paper was published, it caused a certain degree of panic.

"...I'm sorry to tell you that because the K virus acts on the central nervous system and can hijack operations, even the specific immunoglobulin has almost no effect on the K virus patients who have already attacked, and the attack on the virus will directly lead to the death of the infected body..."

Umbrella's biotechnology is here, and he has his own armed forces, so when he applied to find a way to fight this virus in Africa, he was authorized by the United Nations.

Da Mei will not raise any objections!

However, Umbrella's conclusion that it is currently the world's number one biotechnology company has made many people feel a little disappointed.

After all, it is indeed too difficult for the virus to hijack nerve cells directly along the blood through the blood-brain barrier.

There are too many restrictions on the high degree of differentiation and non-regeneration of central nervous cells, and the damage is irreversible.

"However, we have found a small number of people who have been scratched by zombies. During the incubation period when the number of viruses entering the body is not large, the specific immunoglobulin can complete the killing, but there is a certain chance that it will cause irreversible damage to the brain, because the data There are too few, so it is difficult for us to make a conclusion. The preliminary judgment should be probabilistic. In addition, the injection of immunoglobulin in advance may have a protective effect for a certain period of time before the metabolism is completed, but no experiment has been conducted..."

Anyway, it's somewhat useful information.

Immediately afterwards, some media began to kidnap, demanding that Umbrella announce the corresponding technology to deal with the K virus!

In fact, after the zombie virus was exposed, this trend has been blowing, and it has become more and more serious.

You don't need to think about it to know that someone is fanning the flames, and there is definitely more than one party.

The reason why it is blowing slowly and fermenting naturally is that no one wants to be a target.

Anyway, with the rhythm of natural public opinion, it is impossible for Umbrella to cover the sky with one hand!

Originally, if it wasn't for the ship king's side throwing dirty water on the Damei authorities, they might just follow the trend and find an excuse to sanction them.

Now that Umbrella has spoken out about it, naturally she won't let the opportunity go easily!

This was brought up by you yourself, it is not our target!

When Umbrella threw out the thesis at this time, he was actually actively guiding it.

For this statement, Umbrella also made a public response

"...Actually, so many companies have purchased our culture medium, so they should have already produced a lot of corresponding immunoglobulins themselves, but the problem of mass production has not been announced. There are also other institutions for the research of K virus. You should also know that this virus is different from traditional viruses, it is 'active', and the production and cultivation of immunoglobulins is extremely difficult, even if we are unable to achieve mass production."

In fact, viruses are not classified as organisms. They only have a protein shell and internal genetic material. They cannot absorb nutrients from the outside by themselves, and can only be completed through parasitism!

But the K virus is not like this!

This is a special virus with a simple structure and 'activity', which can be said to be unique at present!

But after finally waiting for Umbrella to jump out and 'leak the loophole', Damei also took advantage of the situation, and directly spoke to the spokesperson.

"No matter what, the culture medium has risen to the level of global security, so it must be made public! Umbrella has affected global security. For this reason, the federal government may take some powerful measures to sanction."
