Chapter 231: Innocent is the crime, but holding a treasure is the crime
Hearing Ichiro Kobayashi's public denial, Shi Tianqi said coldly: "I remember, you have three drugs marketed globally, namely a stomach powder, a throat-clearing powder, and an eczema lotion. The prescriptions for these three drugs, one comes from the "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases" by Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty in our China, one comes from the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" of the Western Han Dynasty, and another comes from the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Am I right?"
Ichiro Kobayashi's expression was a bit ugly, but he still insisted on denying: "Is Divine Physician Shi joking? These ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia from one or two thousand years ago basically have no clinical application and no scientific basis. How could our Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, such a large company, use backward pharmacopoeia from one or two thousand years ago? It's a joke!"
Hearing Ichiro Kobayashi publicly insult the essence of TCM left by the ancestors, other TCM scholars on the scene scolded one after another.
Shi Tianqi also said righteously: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do these two days. After the expo, I will personally write three papers, sorting out the details of the prescriptions of your three drugs, the ins and outs, and the detailed records in our ancient pharmacopoeia. After they are published, let's see how you can quibble!"
Ichiro Kobayashi's face suddenly turned blue.
He is the vice chairman of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. This company was founded by his father, and he naturally knows the details very well.
The reason Kobayashi Pharmaceutical can grow to its current scale is entirely due to the prescriptions recorded in ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia.
The Japanese themselves are good at packaging, so they take ancient Chinese prescriptions, carry out certain packaging, and promote that they have spent huge sums of money to research brand-new achievements. With good curative effects, they immediately opened up the market.
However, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical has never been willing to admit that their drug formulas were plagiarized from ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia. For this reason, Shi Tianqi has always been very dissatisfied, but he has never found an opportunity to express his protest.
I didn't expect to see Ichiro Kobayashi here today, so naturally, I want to seek justice for TCM.
Ichiro Kobayashi didn't expect Shi Tianqi to accurately state the origin of his own three drug prescriptions. Fearing that Shi Tianqi would really publish a paper to peel off his skin, he hurriedly said: "Divine Physician Shi, there is no need for papers, right? I just want to cooperate with you on new drugs. If you agree, we will cooperate. If you don't agree, we won't cooperate. Why hurt the harmony?"
Shi Tianqi said earnestly: "Since you deny plagiarizing Han prescriptions, then I have nothing to cooperate with you. Goodbye."
After saying that, Shi Tianqi said again: "By the way, I will definitely write the paper."
Ichiro Kobayashi looked at Shi Tianqi with gritted teeth, and after a while, he held back his anger and nodded, saying: "Okay, since Divine Physician Shi is unwilling to cooperate, then I won't force it."
As he spoke, he asked again: "Divine Physician Shi, I don't want the prescription, can you sell me a pill? I am willing to pay 50 million RMB! My father had a car accident the year before last and has been lying in bed with high paraplegia. As a son, I very much hope to cure him!"
The offer of 50 million RMB shocked Shi Tianqi.
Shi Tianqi glanced at Ye Chen. After all, this was Ye Chen's divine medicine. If he was willing to sell one to Ichiro Kobayashi for 50 million, then he could be considered to have bridged the gap for Master Ye.
However, Ye Chen quietly waved his hand at him.
He didn't care about 50 million, and he wouldn't sell the medicine to a Japanese who plagiarized Han prescriptions for 50 million.
Seeing Ye Chen wave his hand, Shi Tianqi immediately said to Ichiro Kobayashi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kobayashi, the medicine has been used up, and there will be no more."
Ichiro Kobayashi gritted his teeth, nodded with a gloomy face, and said: "Okay, Divine Physician Shi, I know. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't force it. We will meet again later."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ye Chen said to Shi Tianqi at this time: "This Japanese looks a bit insidious. If he thinks you really have a prescription for treating high paraplegia, then you must be extra careful. After all, once such divine medicine is produced, it can earn huge wealth globally."
There was a movie before called "Dying to Survive", which talked about a Chinese leukemia patient who couldn't afford the extremely expensive Western drugs and could only go to India to buy imitations.
Through this movie, one can see how black-hearted large pharmaceutical groups are in making money. A drug is developed, and a patient has to spend at least 20, 00 to 30, 00 a month to afford it. Isn't this a rhythm that forces people to death?
Kobayashi Pharmaceutical also wants to get a few special drugs that can be sold at high prices, so they set their sights on Shi Tianqi.
Ichiro Kobayashi felt that if he could treat high paraplegia, it would be equivalent to having a powerful tool for collecting wealth.
A person who gets high paraplegia cannot get out of bed for a lifetime, cannot walk, and cannot even defecate autonomously. This feeling of being worse than dead will make them and their families suffer.
If a billionaire gets high paraplegia, charging him 50 million for a pill, he will be willing to take it out.
If a billionaire like Bill Gates gets high paraplegia, charging him 50 billion for a pill, he will also give it!
As for poor high paraplegia patients, he is too lazy to care about their life or death. If they die, they die. What does it have to do with him? Want to buy medicine cheaply? Impossible!
However, Ichiro Kobayashi didn't expect Shi Tianqi to refuse so decisively, which made him feel a bit angry.
However, he didn't care, because he had inquired from many sources before that Shi Tianqi should still have that divine medicine that cures high paraplegia.
As long as he finds a way to get the divine medicine and take it back to Japan, and let the company's pharmacists study the ingredients in the divine medicine, they should be able to imitate it soon!
Shi Tianqi also knew what Ichiro Kobayashi was thinking. In the face of such huge interests, this guy would never give up so easily and would definitely look for other ways.
So, he said to Ye Chen: "Please rest assured, Master Ye, I will be careful."
Ye Chen said earnestly: "Being careful is useless. You must understand the truth that an innocent man is guilty of holding a treasure."
Shi Tianqi hurriedly asked: "Master Ye, what should I do? The pill you gave me later is also carried by me. If they snatch it, then..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "I will refine a few pills for you later. You carry them with you. If someone snatches them, give them that pill."
In Ye Chen's memory, the "Nine Profound Heaven Scriptures" recorded a kind of "Flash of Light Pill". That kind of elixir is actually a poison. Patients who take it will get great recovery in a short time, but that is just a flash of light, and then they will exhaust all the last energy in their body and die suddenly.
I don't know if this Ichiro Kobayashi's father is really high paraplegic, but it is possible to set a trap for him. If he really has ulterior motives for this divine medicine, then he is going to be unlucky!
