"Have you heard of Darapyrin?" Xiao Peng asked.
Emilia shook her head: "I only know aspirin."
Xiao Peng explained: "Dalapilin is a drug that specializes in treating parasitic infections. It targets patients with immune system defects such as AIDS, malaria, cancer, and pregnancy syndrome. It is recognized by the World Health Organization as a world-leading drug. ."
"The formula for this drug is in the hands of a man named Martin Shkreli in your country. He used to be a hedge fund manager. He later bought the formula for $55 million. He is the only one obtained by Star Stripe Nation. A manufacturer of such drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Do you know how expensive this drug is? US$750 per tablet! Then you know that this drug will cost more than one tablet before Martin Shkreli bought the formula? US$13.5 per tablet ! But Martin believes that the price is still low and still has to continue to increase the price."
Emilia was stunned: "There is such a bad person? Can no one deal with him?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "This is the huge profits of the pharmaceutical industry, who can take care of him? According to the statement here, what he did is legal. Unlike our China, where there is price monitoring, it cannot be governed by the anti-monopoly law. He. Who will let you'free'? If you like to buy or not, he will sell it so expensive!"
Emilia stopped talking. Xiao Peng smiled:
Of course, it’s not that no one takes care of him. A group of 15 or 16-year-old Chinese high school students who love chemistry at Sydney Grammar School in Australia secretly formed a fight against Martin. -Shkreli’s research team was just to crack darapirin. After a year of trial and error, they succeeded. They synthesized 3.7 grams of very pure darapirin at a cost of less than 20 US dollars. The weight of darapirin costs 110,000 US dollars on the market. After these children applied for a patent, they generously published the formula and experimental methods on the Internet for free."
Emilia was also very happy after hearing this: "Martin Shkreli's good days are not over?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "It's early. First of all, how many billions of dollars Martin has earned? Secondly, I don't know how long it will take for other drug dealers to invest in the production of this medicine. So, Martin Shkreli paid it back. He can safely be his super billionaire. But what is the price of Huaxia Artemisinin, which is also the world’s top-notch drug? Only a few cents per piece! And all of this, just because artemisinin is refined from plants, it has suffered The resistance of major pharmaceutical companies! Say it is unscientific! Such a good drug can only be used in China but cannot go abroad! And the efficacy of this drug? Since 2000, at least 1.5 million people in sub-Saharan Africa have saved lives because of this drug ! Compare a few cents a piece with a few hundred dollars a piece and you will know that this is the huge profits of the pharmaceutical industry!"
"The world's top ten pharmaceutical groups, each of which is a wealthy consortium, why so many new drugs keep appearing all day long? Do you really think this is to improve the efficacy of drugs for the benefit of the public? No! You are too naive, according to the World Health Organization According to statistics, from the emergence of western medicine to the present, a total of more than 10,000 Western medicines have been produced, but now there are less than 1,000 types of Western medicines used in clinical practice. The remaining more than 9,000 Western medicines have been withdrawn from the stage of history, and this type of medicine has been eliminated. The number of western medicines is still increasing. Why are they being eliminated like this? It is because western medicines have very serious side effects. The emergence of new medicines is to make huge profits while patching the old medicines. It is necessary to buy windows operating system from you. There is a reason to spend money to upgrade. The number of people who die every year from taking western medicine in the Star Stripe country alone reaches 120,000. How many people will die in the world? And this cheap Chinese medicine has too much impact on the expensive western medicine, so , We must strictly resist, otherwise how to collect huge profits? So all kinds of slander. Anyway, as long as you pay to buy the navy, there are countless people working for them. And those medical groups lack everything, just don’t lack money. So it changes. This is what it is today. This is called the power of capital."
Emilia shrugged: "I only know that I need to take medicine when I am sick, but I really didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in the pharmaceutical industry."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "This is not called the pharmaceutical industry, it can only be said that this is business, and everything is commercial competition."
The two talked and laughed, and Xiao Peng didn't feel tired after cleaning up the tumbleweed. Suddenly Xiao Peng stopped his movements and pricked his ears to listen: "What sound is this?"
Emilia said, "The sound of the engine. What's weird?"
Xiao Peng frowned and said, "Why do I think this voice is directed at me?"
Before Emilia could answer Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng saw the tumbleweed in front of her pounce on her.
"Fuck it!" Xiao Peng hurriedly turned around and ran. After not taking two steps back, he saw a red pickup hitting him. Through the windshield, it was the girl Xiao Peng rescued yesterday. "I'm going, do you want to avenge your grievances?" Xiao Peng cursed while running.
The girl also saw Xiao Peng and hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but unexpectedly the pickup suddenly accelerated.
"Grass, do you know how to drive a car? Brake!" This Nima stepped on the accelerator as a brake.
He wasn't afraid of this car, he dodged as soon as he went to the side, but what about Emilia? She is still hiding behind.
Xiao Peng resists this car? also! But then stop thinking about traveling with Emilia and the others.
A monster that is the front of a pickup truck? Who dare to play with yourself? But seeing the pickup truck getting closer and closer to him, Xiao Peng couldn't bear to think about it. He stopped running, turned to face the pickup truck, and prepared to carry it hard.
It was too late, it was fast, Xiao Peng just wanted to smash the pickup truck, but the girl in the car recovered, stepped on the brakes and furiously hit the direction, the pickup truck rushed out along Xiao Peng's side, and then Roll over directly into the bushes aside.
Xiao Peng, who has gathered his magic power, stays in place, is this what? Are you here to scare people?
It was Emilia who reacted first: "Xiao Peng, save people first!"
Xiao Peng came back to his senses and hurriedly jumped onto the overturned pickup truck. The dizzy girl who had fallen inside was pulled out of the car. The girl was lucky, she was fine, but she was obviously silly, Xiao Peng put her on the ground, turned off the car and jumped out of the car: "Hey, are you okay?" Xiao Peng asked.
The girl shook her head and sat on the ground without saying a word.
Emilia walked over and whispered: "I can step on the accelerator and brake wrongly. I really don't know how to get the driver's license."
Xiao Peng asked Emilia: "Do you have a driving license?"
Emilia nodded: "Of course there is."
"Is it automatic?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.
"Of course!" Emilia said of course.
Xiao Peng squinted his eyes and asked, "Then where are your feet?"
"Brake your left foot and throttle your right!" Emilia didn't know what Xiao Peng meant.
Xiao Peng nodded: "Then you are very likely to have the same situation as her."
"Huh?" Emilia was stunned.
Xiao Peng explained: "Many people drive cars with automatic transmission and are accustomed to the left foot brake and right foot accelerator. Actually, this is wrong, because in this way, if they encounter danger, they will work hard together when they are excited, and the car will fly out-- ---Like her just now. So remember, when driving an automatic car, don't step on anything with your left foot, only use your right foot to operate."
The girl finally recovered, but she cried out: "Emilia quickly went to comfort her and said, "This lady, you're all right now. "
The girl gave an aggrieved expression: "I love my car. Why are you here?"
Xiao Peng was speechless and pointed to where he was just now: "Sister, are you okay? Look at our location, we are not on the highway! We are on the shoulder of the road! Why did you drive here?"
The girl looked at it and mumbled: "Visibility is so bad. How do I know where I am driving..."
"Please, can't you feel such a bump on the shoulder? You dare to drive the car on the road. I really convince you. Fortunately, nothing major happened." Xiao Peng checked and the girl had no trauma.
The girl looked at the car turning over and wanted to cry again. Xiao Peng sighed: "You take a picture first and tell the insurance company about the car. I'll find a way for you to get the car back!"
The girl nodded, got up from the ground, took out her mobile phone and called the insurance company. Xiao Peng took off the bracelet woven with a rope on his hand.
"What is this?" Emilia asked curiously.
Xiao Peng showed the bracelet in front of Emilia and explained: "This is called a paratrooper rope survival bracelet. You must have one when you are in the wild. Don't underestimate this little bracelet. Expand Next is a seven-core paratrooper rope with a length of 3.7 meters, which can be used for dragging and binding at critical moments. There are also compasses, survival whistle, flint and cutting knives on it, which is very convenient in the field." To Emilia After the show, Xiao Peng folded the rope in half and fixed it to the pickup truck, and fixed the other end to the'Indian Chief', waiting for the girl to finish the phone call. .
Emilia looked at the thin paratrooper rope: "Is this all right? It looks so thin."
Xiao Peng smiled: "Don't underestimate the paratrooper rope, it's strong and cruel, not to mention turning the car over, it's okay to drag the car to Chicago."
The girl hung up the phone and signaled Xiao Peng that she had already negotiated with the insurance company. Xiao Peng nodded and started the motorcycle. After the engine roared a few times, she finally turned over the big pickup truck. Xiao Peng Looked at it: "Fortunately, there are bushes and sand over there. The damage to the car is not serious, it is all scratches."
After listening to Xiao Peng's words, the girl's face looked better. Xiao Peng got into the car and started it: "Okay, there is nothing wrong with the car. Be careful when driving in a while." After that, he untied the paratrooper rope, re-wrapped it into a bracelet, and put it on his wrist.
After listening to Xiao Peng's words, the girl froze for a while, then suddenly said to Xiao Peng, "Well, shall we go on the road together?"
"Huh? That... I don't have a Star Stripe Driver's License."
