Chapter 214: Sakura Country Delegation Excluded

A scene similar to that in Yingjiang Country was also playing out in various other countries.

Regarding the Destiny Potion, people from the general public to all other social strata were filled with longing.

Even among the major pharmaceutical companies that had suffered heavy losses due to the impact of the Destiny Potion's debut, many within their ranks were hoping that their countries would introduce the Destiny Potion as soon as possible.

After all, it was a life-saving miracle drug.

Who didn't have a few relatives suffering from cancer? And who could guarantee that they wouldn't develop cancer in the future?

As for Tianqi Group, no matter how sensational the outside world became, it remained as calm as usual, dealing with the delegations from various countries in a lukewarm and indifferent manner.

It continued to recruit volunteers in an orderly fashion and began the second phase of clinical trials.

One week later, the second phase of clinical trials for the Destiny Potion concluded.

However, unlike the first phase of clinical trials, this phase increased the limits on age and the severity of the illness.

One eighty-five-year-old man, suffering from late-stage lung cancer and judged to have at most half a year left to live, had all the malignant tumors in his body eliminated; however, perhaps unable to withstand such an intense treatment method, his lungs became riddled with holes, losing their respiratory function, and his body became extremely weak.

"We should simply avoid stepping into those areas; no one knows when Su Xin might suddenly bring out some new achievement."

The entire production chain has always been running at high speed; to stop it suddenly now, how could it not come at a huge cost?

Therefore, we specifically had people emphasize that the Destiny Potion only carries potential risks for that portion of patients with late-stage cancer.

"People always say that treating a major illness is thirty percent medicine and seventy percent recovery; with the old man's body, where was there any chance for recovery? This is fundamentally not a problem with the Destiny Potion, but that the old man's own body was too weak."

But we also know that with the miraculous effects of the Destiny Potion, if we really suppress it too excessively, it will instead fail to have the intended effect.

And that was just for the past year alone.

"Furthermore, he is involved in so many industries; even if he puts more energy into the pharmaceutical field, he will at most solve those intractable diseases, such as the world's four major terminal illnesses, or other diseases that pose a greater threat to humanity."

Public opinion returned to the initial one-sided situation.

"But how should we adjust? Who knows what drug Su Xin is going to research next? What if we cross paths with him again? Wouldn't that be a dead end?"

All sorts of rhetoric were rampant.

"If one day President Su gets angered and imposes restrictions on other places too, let's see if you still dare to say a word of nonsense."

"How about we research those relatively common diseases and leave the ones with the greatest market prospects and the highest difficulty to Su Xin?"

"There are about fifty thousand known human diseases, and common diseases reach seven thousand."

Seeing that Tianqi Group hadn't even made a move yet, the public opinion offensive they had manufactured simply collapsed, and the major pharmaceutical companies could only helplessly give up their struggle.

Such rhetoric emerged endlessly on various media platforms, and coupled with some experts and scholars coming forward to voice similar opinions, it did indeed make a fairly large portion of people hesitate.

Apart from the old man, the other dozens of cases were perfectly cured, just like before.

It wasn't that these pharmaceutical companies hadn't thought about taking the opportunity to drag the Destiny Potion into the dust.

At a senior management meeting of the top international pharmaceutical company Luo's Pharmaceuticals, CEO Stran Richard Sen sighed softly and said helplessly.

"President Su said it right from the beginning: the Destiny Potion can only eliminate all malignant tumors; it does not mean it can perfectly save every single person."

"Judging from the treatment principle of the Destiny Potion, it is fundamentally impossible for it to be applicable to everyone."

Even if they could survive, they would very likely be relegated to a second-rate pharmaceutical company in the future.

Just when countries were starting to struggle under the pressure, Tianqi Group finally made a positive response, taking the initiative to invite delegations from various countries to discuss cooperation plans in a large conference hall.

But if they stop production, the losses they suffer will be even greater; after all, their existing anti-cancer drugs might not even be sold out, and if they continue to produce them, they will likely just pile up in warehouses and go moldy.

"In the interview video, that old gentleman himself said that he didn't have long to live and was originally prepared to give up treatment; after seeing the recruitment for the Destiny Potion clinical trials, he decided to give it a try after discussing it with his family—it would be better if he could survive, and if he couldn't, it was his own fate."

"The Destiny Potion is a blessing for humanity."

"If Sakura Country really makes a scene, not only will they be unable to get the Destiny Potion, but they might even anger Su Xin and trigger another economic crisis."

"Unless Su Xin only supplies the Destiny Potion to Long Country, that is the only way it might provoke public outrage."

Besides, the production line for anti-cancer drugs is like a car traveling at high speed; it's not something that can just be stopped whenever you want.

"No matter how strong Su Xin's ability is or how high his efficiency is, it is impossible for him to solve all diseases."

"If this news gets out, who knows how the people of Sakura Country will protest."

Everyone was silent.

Yes, what else could they research?

"Some patients are too old, their bodies were not good to begin with, and they have late-stage cancer; even a common cold could be enough to finish them off, so death during the treatment process is very normal."

But there was no other way; after watching the two phases of clinical trials for the Destiny Potion in their entirety, they were completely convinced of the Destiny Potion's effects—their own various anti-cancer drugs simply couldn't compare.

As long as they could make that portion of people harbor doubts about the Destiny Potion, their goal would be achieved.

But more people still remained rational.

"Oh well, let's accept our fate."

"When a malignant tumor proliferates in the human body, it becomes a part of the human body; if it is directly removed, it will inevitably trigger a series of unknown chain reactions within the human body, leading to consequences that no one can predict."

"Everyone can watch the videos; each phase of volunteers was not only screened from a massive number of applicants but also underwent a second round of interviews, and those interview videos are all on the Tianqi Pharmaceutical Company's official website."

"Frankly speaking, no one has any possibility of competing with Su Xin; he is simply too strong, he is practically a god in the scientific research world; no matter who it is, if they collide with him head-on, there is only a dead end."

"Abandon the production and research of all anti-cancer drugs, free up capacity to produce other drugs, and future key research directions must also be adjusted."

They were already suffering from shrinking markets, plummeting revenue, and crashing stock prices under the impact of the Destiny Potion.

"The Destiny Potion is indeed an invention of great value to humanity, but it ultimately has its limitations; at present, it may still be too immature."

Under the impact of the Destiny Potion, these internationally renowned pharmaceutical companies, including Luo's Pharmaceuticals, had all suffered major blows.

Regarding the drastic changes occurring in the old man's body, the hospital immediately performed emergency treatment, but the old man only lasted for a few hours before finally passing away.

"The human body is an extremely precise system, far more complex than the Lithography Machine, which is touted as the most precise and complex machine ever manufactured by humans, by more than a hundred times."

Those pharmaceutical companies arranged for a large number of internet trolls to smear it, attempting to muddy the waters and make everyone feel that the Destiny Potion was not perfect, so that their own anti-cancer drugs could remain on the market.

Since they couldn't beat him, they had to avoid him.

If they spent a huge cost to develop a few new drugs, only for Su Xin to immediately develop a drug with even more perfect effects, then all their research would go down the drain.

"This has nothing to do with whether it's late-stage or not; among the thirty volunteers in the first phase, there were ten late-stage cancer patients, and among the fifty volunteers in the second phase, there were a total of thirty late-stage patients."

Plus, a large number of netizens spontaneously defended Tianqi Group and Destiny Potion, causing these negative comments to be suppressed very quickly.

Every phase of the clinical trials was conducted at a cooperative Grade-A tertiary hospital in Tianjing, with Destiny Potion and other medical methods used in conjunction.

A large number of employees rely on the pharmaceutical factory for their livelihood; even if production stops, they must be appeased and paid their basic wages.

For example, our Luo's Pharmaceuticals invested a total of 6.9 billion Eagle Dollars in new drug research and development last year, equivalent to 49 billion Long Coins, accounting for 17 percent of our total annual revenue; our R&D investment amount ranks first among global pharmaceutical companies.

However, when the various delegations arrived at the conference hall excitedly, someone was surprised to discover—the Sakura Country delegation was not among them.

"If there really is anyone who resists Destiny Potion because of that death case, they can stand up and publicly boycott it; I suspect Tianqi Group won't shamelessly send Destiny Potion over."

But the news regarding the death still sparked heated discussions worldwide.

"Especially for late-stage cancer patients, the treatment method using Destiny Potion is actually less stable than conservative treatment plans."

This was considered a tacit agreement with that person's words.

"It seems Tianqi Group is really planning to cooperate with Sakura Country."

"Out of a total of seventy late-stage cancer patients, only one elderly person died due to physical health; this is obviously their own physical issue and not the responsibility of Destiny Potion."

For world-leading pharmaceutical companies like us, the annual R&D investment in new drugs always exceeds 10 percent of revenue, and a few companies even reach an R&D investment ratio of 70 to 80 percent.

Suppliers have also signed contracts; the other party continuously supplies us with raw materials and related equipment, so if we stop production directly, that is a breach of contract and we would need to pay massive liquidated damages.

Added to the massive losses in production lines and R&D, the entire Luo's Pharmaceuticals has suffered a major blow to its vitality, and it is hard to say whether it can survive this huge setback.

"You must know that among the top ten high-incidence diseases globally, only three, including malignant tumors, have great danger."

As soon as these words were spoken, the others were suddenly stunned.

Otherwise, the blows will become more and more frequent in the future.

Even if they have to suffer greater losses, they can only grit their teeth and accept it.

Among them, at least more than half was invested in the research and development of Anti-cancer Drug.

R&D, production—no matter which link stops, it represents a huge loss for Luo's Pharmaceuticals.

After the executives discussed for a while, they could only sigh helplessly.

"Sigh! No choice, it can only be this way."

"What can protesting do? Destiny Potion was developed by Su Xin; if he isn't willing to cooperate with Sakura Country, who can force him?"

"I, on the contrary, believe that Destiny Potion has fully proven its efficacy in these two phases of clinical trials; it can indeed eliminate all malignant tumors in the human body and even remove the root of the disease, with absolutely no risk of recurrence."

Thinking of Su Xin's past achievements and the huge impact Destiny Potion has brought us this time, how would we dare to compete with Su Xin?

With the smooth progress of the third phase of clinical trials, the voices of netizens from various countries are getting louder and louder.

"Those people in Sakura Country are smart; whether out of desire for Destiny Potion or fear of Tianqi Group, they absolutely dare not offend Su Xin again. Even if the public makes a huge fuss, they wouldn't dare to pressure Su Xin; instead, they might find ways to suppress public opinion."

The person said, shrugging helplessly.

You must know that for every Anti-cancer Drug, we have to spend at least several years to successfully develop it; therefore, once we completely abandon the R&D of Anti-cancer Drug, it is equivalent to all the more than 10 billion Eagle Dollars, or nearly 100 billion Long Coins, invested in Anti-cancer Drug over the past few years going down the drain!

And cancer is often most prevalent in the late stages.

"So we can only avoid it."

"Other types, such as influenza, bronchitis, tuberculosis, etc., although the incidence rate is very high and the number of patients is very large, they are not fatal; Su Xin should have no energy and no motivation to research drugs in these areas."

"Now there's a good show to watch."

Just like the current Anti-cancer Drug.

At this time, another executive asked:

After a while, CEO Strong said:

Everyone is a smart person; seeing this situation, they naturally know what it represents.

Yet they have absolutely no way to deal with Tianqi Group, and even have to actively avoid fields that Su Xin might enter in the future.

These words made the internet trolls of various countries quiet down; no one could guarantee that Su Xin isn't really that petty. If he gets annoyed because of these comments and imposes a few more restrictions, then they would be the ones suffering.

There is also the various equipment, apparatus, raw materials on the current Anti-cancer Drug production lines, as well as a large amount of finished product inventory for global supply; most of this will be wasted.

"I suggest that our future main R&D direction can be placed on these; although it's not as profitable as Anti-cancer Drug, this is also the only way to avoid competing with Su Xin."

"Hehe! There are still people who dare to speak ill of Destiny Potion. Just look at how many Sakura Country people leave messages on Tiantian Forum every day wanting to introduce Destiny Potion, but Tianqi Group has never given any response; those Sakura Country people don't even know how anxious they are."

"Su Xin is indeed very powerful, but that doesn't mean we have no way out."

Or perhaps they still blindly trust Su Xin, feeling that the drug Su Xin developed, and the efficacy he personally stated, will absolutely have no problems.

"The treatment method of Destiny Potion is too aggressive; for people with poor physical constitutions, this is not a life-saving medicine, but a death warrant."

The enemy is too strong; all struggles are just futile, and continuing on is just a waste of funds.

The people present discussed in low voices, laughing at others' misfortunes one by one.

"But if it's just Sakura Country... hehe, other countries will only watch the show, and as for Sakura Country, they can't do anything to Su Xin; after all, they already took a big tumble at Su Xin's hands before."

"For early or mid-stage cancer patients, it is a life-saving miracle drug, but for late-stage cancer patients, it is definitely not as perfect as everyone imagines; it is recommended that late-stage cancer patients use it with caution."

With Su Xin's terrifying strength and efficiency, he might dabble in any drug direction that has huge prospects.
