Homo sapiens.

Sure enough, when they heard about the patent issue, even the people from the pharmaceutical company showed embarrassment at this time, but the huge interests behind the medicine made him feel unwilling.

The representative of the pharmaceutical company asked: "Then we can study similar protein drugs?"

Dr. Zhang spread his hands: "This protein with such precise effects and low side effects has a very delicate structure in itself. If it is a natural protein, it can be separated and refined, but I estimate that this protein has a high probability of being smart. Artificially synthesized by human companies."

"This means that it is difficult for us to find similar natural ingredients. We can only explore a little bit, and we need to invest a lot of research and development costs. In the end, we may be able to obtain a similar drug."

Of course, Dr. Zhang still has something to say.

For example, the cost of research may cost tens of billions of dollars, and it will take at least 5 to 10 years. Even if it is developed, the side effects of the first-generation drugs may be too great to be marketed.

Representatives of pharmaceutical companies are not fools either. Now if they can’t launch drugs with similar effects in a short period of time, then they don’t have to compete with Homo sapiens.

Even through trade barriers to block the entry of Homo sapiens' new drugs, there is no way to control smuggling, purchasing agents, and medical tourism.

What's more, the ex-factory price of Meisheng preventive medicine is 5000 gold dollars per box, and a special freezer is needed to ensure its validity period of 3 years. If it is at room temperature, the Meisheng preventive medicine is only about 30 days old. expiration date.

This thing is basically a product for the middle class and the rich.

According to the introduction of Sapiens, it is best to start taking the preventive medicine at the age of 20, so as to avoid the appearance of Alzheimer's disease.

When cutting leeks, it is natural to cut the most plump leeks.

Once other pharmaceutical companies develop similar drugs, Homo sapiens can also play price reduction promotions, making other pharmaceutical companies unprofitable.

Compared with before, pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and AstraZeneca have been tightly controlled by Homo sapiens' Ronph Anning.

After they developed the so-called special drug, Langfuin immediately lowered the price. In addition, the effect of Langfuin was immediate, and the side effects were much less. As a result, the drugs of other pharmaceutical companies could not be sold at high prices to recover the cost of scientific research.

This situation is extremely serious for many pharmaceutical companies.

Large pharmaceutical companies can still grit their teeth and persist, while small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies may not be able to withstand even a wave, and they will directly break their capital chain and go bankrupt.

Chapter 3 The Unstoppable Loss

When the world's major pharmaceutical companies were once again made into a rage by several new drugs from Homo sapiens.

Others in Xiangjiang were popping champagne to celebrate.

Inside the private room of the Peninsula Hotel.

A big fat man with a shiny face was holding champagne while toasting, while smiling all over his face: "Thank you, Young Master Li, for your care, I'm so careful, it's not a respect."

Opposite the big fat man, the young man with greasy hair and noodles lightly clinked glasses: "Boss Lin, you're welcome."

He said it politely, but Li Shaoshou took the small box away.

Seeing this scene, the fat man smiled even brighter. He introduced the delicacies on the table and chatted for more than half an hour.

Seeing that Shao Li had almost eaten, the fat man asked again with a smile: "Shao Li, my company needs to order a batch of precision parts recently. I wonder if Shao Li is interested?"

"What parts does Mr. Lin want?"

"It's just some bicycle accessories. Here are the detailed parts requirements." The big fat man took out a document from his briefcase.

Li Shao took it, flipped it casually, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Boss Lin has a good eye, our company happens to have a few partners who specialize in the production of this special part, but..."

"Young Master Li, but it's okay to say."

"The raw materials of these parts have increased a lot recently, Mr. Lin should know!"

The fat man understood, and pulled out another document from his briefcase: "This is the 5000 million won by Li Shao at the Venice Casino last night. I will return it to the original owner."

"I'm really bothering Boss Lin, so I'll make another trip." Li Shao accepted the check lightly, and then asked with a smile: "How much does Boss Lin need?"

"500 tons."

Li Shao frowned: "There are too many, and others want it too."

The big fat man rolled his eyes: "How about 400?"

"300, help you transport to Hong Kong Port."

"300?" The fat man gritted his teeth: "Yes, happy cooperation."

The two clinked glasses again.

After a meal, it can be said that the host and guest enjoy themselves.

That night.

The Kwai Chung Container Terminal on the west side of Victoria Harbour.

The big fat man and a few buddies, with more than 20 security guards, appeared here.

Looking at the 20 containers that had just been unloaded from the pier, the big fat man asked out of breath, "Da Biao, is this the shipment you ordered? Is it reliable! I will eat porridge and meat in the future, just watch it." , don't trick me!"

"Don't worry! I have been with Li Shao for more than ten years. The old man of the Li family is wearing a pair of pants with my old man. If you use the mainland, they are iron buddies." The middle-aged man with dreadlocks Continue to popularize your own supernatural powers.

Container trucks pull things behind a warehouse.

Da Biao, Big Fatty and others who drove behind entered the warehouse.

As soon as Da Biao entered the warehouse, he said to the dozen or so inspectors who were invited: "Masters, I will pack the supper tonight, and the labor will be tripled. After the completion, each person will get a big red envelope."

"Boss He, I can start working now."

"My equipment has been brought here, and it is the fastest and most accurate equipment."

Da Biao nodded in satisfaction: "Then please masters, I will arrange supper, masters will be busy first."

"Boss He slow down!"

Da Biao, who left the warehouse, ordered his younger brother to buy a midnight snack, while sitting in the Mercedes-Benz, blowing on the air conditioner, and quietly waiting for the test results inside.

And inside the warehouse.

The gates of 20 containers have been opened, and there are rows of wooden boxes inside, and inside the wooden boxes are things wrapped in foam paper and tape.

The customs declaration says bicycle accessories.

Several workers who came to work as porters drove the forklift to move the wooden boxes out of the container.

After prying open the wooden box and tearing off the foam paper and tape, there are rows of bicycle chains inside.

Master Ding, who was in charge of the inspection, took a few apprentices and picked up hydraulic shears to randomly cut out 10 chain links.

Two other groups of testers were doing the same job.

Insert the sample into the mass spectrometer, and the results are available in seconds.

“师傅！铁50％、铌10％、铟10％、铽10％、铕10％、镝10％……”

"My content is in line."

"I have no problem here."

Master Ding signed the inspection form, and the staff in charge of supervision quickly sealed these special chains back intact and pasted the inspection label.

"Don't dawdle, the next batch is coming soon." Master Ding urged several apprentices.

two hours later.

18 cases of parts have been inspected.

As for Da Biao on the Mercedes-Benz, listening to his younger brother's report, a trace of relief finally appeared on his face. Regardless of his previous promises that there would be no problem, but if something went wrong, he will suffer a big loss this time.

"Fat cat, do you believe me this time?"

"Believe me, believe me, brother Da Biao is supernatural, you just take what I said before as farting, and please support me more in the future." The big fat man immediately flattered.

Several other buddies also courted Da Biao one after another.

One of the young men with the jingle cat tattooed on his arm took out a box of cigars from his pocket: "Brother Big Biao, smoke!"

"Oh? Cuban cigars? Boy, you finally got the hang of it." Da Biao took the cigarette case, took out one and lit it: "Huh... yes, it is indeed a good product at 200 dollars a piece."

"Brother Big Biao, how much money can you earn from this order?" Boy B asked curiously.

Da Biao blew out a smoke ring: "Do you know how much a ton of refined high-purity rare earth metals in the north costs?"

"It seems to be more than 50 Chinese yuan?"

Da Biao pretended to be surprised: "More than 50 yuan? That was the price last month, and it has risen to about 200 million yuan this month. When I ordered this batch of goods, I added processing fees, transportation fees, and tea fees. 370 million."

Boy B pinched his fingers and calculated, but he couldn't turn his head: "370 million per ton? The purchase price of the precious metal bank on the Homo sapiens side is only 32 gold dollars per ton. If the exchange rate is converted from the gold price, it will be a loss!"

The big fat man outside the sports car, avoiding the smell of smoke, immediately laughed out loud when he heard B Boy's analysis: "B Boy, do you want me to exchange 2 million Hong Kong dollars with you for 1 million gold dollars, brother, I will suffer a bit."

"This..." Boy B felt that according to the international gold price, exchanging 2 million Hong Kong dollars for 1 million gold dollars seemed to be a big fat man's loss.

The corner of Da Biao's mouth twitched slightly: "With your IQ, it's better not to play this kind of investment, go back and inherit the office building to collect rent! Or just invest a little money in us, and we will give you dividends when the time comes."

"But you can't make money from this investment..." B boy still didn't react.

Another buddy who couldn't stand it, laughed and cursed directly: "Sabi! Gold dollars are real gold. The price on the black market yesterday was 1 gold dollar to 15.7 Chinese dollars, or 20.4 Hong Kong dollars. Fatty's 1000 million Hong Kong dollars and [-] million gold dollars None of them can be redeemed."

"What? How could there be such a big gap?" Boy B was shocked.

"Otherwise, how could Brother Da Biao let his old man show up?"

Da Biao and others saw the benefits of this price difference, and other people naturally saw it too. Therefore, there are not a few people in Xiangjiang who are doing this business now.

It's just that there are big and small among them, ranging from billions of Hong Kong dollars to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Many speculators with a keen sense of smell have already made their first pot of gold.

A big player like Da Biao would naturally not trade tens of tons of gold dollars of refined rare earth elements to the black market for other currencies, but would use the gold dollars to purchase Homo sapiens products, and then earn a wave of price difference .

This time, Da Biao dumped 32 tons of refined rare earth elements, which can be exchanged for 1024 million gold dollars, and the profit is about 35%. If he purchases a batch of new drugs for Homo sapiens, the profit can be further increased.

Birds die for food, and humans die for wealth.

In the face of such huge profits, who is not crazy?

Chapter 3 The Forced Exchange

For the currency black market that appeared in Xiangjiang, and the export of various rare metals.

Obviously can't hide it.

Especially the few victims in East Asia, facing the strong appreciation of the gold dollar, they have already felt the violent internal and external squeeze.

Many people may say that the appreciation of the gold dollar and the depreciation of the local currency will improve the competitiveness of export products, which is good for exports!

But the problem is that there are not many advantageous products exported to Homo sapiens in East Asia, but Homo sapiens has a large number of advantageous products.

In addition, the Homo sapiens company itself has a very complete industrial chain. Things that can be produced in East Asia can be produced by Homo sapiens, and things that cannot be produced in East Asia can also be produced by Homo sapiens.

At the same time, Homo Sapien has a very high subsidy for employees. This kind of subsidy is not reflected in the direct payment of money, but in the purchase of the company's own products, which have huge discounts.

And the even more deceitful thing is that the new humans are very united. They don't like to purchase products outside the company, because they think it's capitalizing on the enemy, especially foreign physical goods, which basically don't appear on the shopping list of the new humans. .

The new human beings belong to the dominator and high-income group within the Homo sapiens company, and they are the real main consumers.

Under the combined effect of various factors, this breaks the traditional model of domestic currency depreciation benefiting exports and local currency appreciation benefiting imports.

In short, Homo sapiens does not play cards according to routine.

Now East Asia needs to import a lot of products from Homo sapiens at high prices, and they don’t have enough gold and dollar foreign exchange, which triggers the currency black market in Hong Kong.

Relying on the tens of billions of gold dollars per month in the cultural and entertainment industry, this can only eat the leftovers left by Homo sapiens. This amount of gold dollars and foreign exchange is simply not enough.

For example, gold dollars are charged for cargo ships passing through the Kra Canal.

According to current calculations, the annual frequency of cargo ships in the Strait of Malacca will still be maintained at 7 to 8.

The upper limit of the number of cargo ships that can be navigated by the Kra Canal is about 4.5.

And these ships that have to pass through Southeast Asia cannot avoid several sea toll booths of Homo sapiens, and this fee is not a small amount.

Of the 10,000+ transport ships that have passed by, a large part of the transport ships are operated by shipping companies from various parties in East Asia.

The transport ships in East Asia are connected to the energy sources in West Asia, and Southeast Asia is the only way for its maritime lifeline.

Although Homo sapiens has lowered part of its fees, the shortage of foreign exchange in gold and dollars still caused many shipping companies to complain.

For example, the Samsung consortium, in order to keep the transportation cost of importing oil from West Asia from rising, they took out a part of Samsung Electronics' industrial gold and industrial silver, and exchanged about 200 billion gold dollars.

This is to use real money to buy the services of Homo sapiens, and Samsung is simply a blood loss.

At this time, the prices of physical gold, silver and various precious metals and rare metals are also soaring internationally.

The Homo sapiens company that crushed Jinyuan, except for the oil tyrants in West Asia and those countries with rare metals, all other regions felt the tremendous pressure of Jinyuan.

The Federal Reserve has received cordial greetings from more than a dozen "good friends", hoping to take back the gold they have stored in the Federal Reserve.
