Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zeng Wangcai brought a large amount of vaccines. This thing was developed early. Except for a small part that was given to homes, most of them were brought by Zeng Wangcai.

As for traditional Chinese medicine, the R&D team is still researching and developing finished medicines.

"Sir, we are not infected!" Taiji, who came with him, quickly declared his innocence.

"Safety first!" Zeng Wangcai still kept his distance. "Let me ask you, have you received the supplies I gave to the government?"

"Uh......"

Divide the eggs!

Zeng Wangcai knew very well where the vaccines Xiaobu got went.

When the vaccine was first put into production, the output was not high, and the total output was about three times.

One third was kept by the family for emergency use, one third was given to the younger brothers, and the remaining one third was given to Xiaobu.

After Xiaobu got the vaccine, the first step was to test its effectiveness. After it was proven to be effective, the second step was to immediately organize its imitation, and the third step was to start selling it.

That’s right, it’s on sale!

Xiaobu was given a small amount of vaccines, but he had too many people to take care of.

We need to take care of the wealthy people in China and abroad.

So in addition to urging the University of Tokyo to provide vaccines every day, Xiaobu also sells the scarce vaccines at exorbitant prices.

In this case, there is no extra space for Mane in California.

"Those damn politicians don't care about the lives of Californians!" Zeng Wangcai's words successfully aroused Mane's anger. "Forget vaccines, we don't even have masks!"

It would be a waste not to attract hatred, right?

"There's a batch of vaccines on the plane, they've been tested!" Zeng Wangcai pointed to his arm. "Inject them here. Organize a group of soldiers to get vaccinated tonight, and then see the results tomorrow. We also have test strips. Once they're proven to be effective, we can roll them out..."

Zeng Wangcai meant that they should first attack with a troop, so that they can go out and work more easily after becoming immune.

Mane understood Zeng Wangcai's meaning and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Sir, how much is one?"

Mane is rich, very rich.

After fighting for such a long time, the bulk of his expenses were military pay. Zeng Wangcai did not charge for the weapons he gave him, but provided them to him on credit.

Later he got the money and paid it back slowly on a monthly basis. He was used to talking about money.

But this time, Zeng Wangcai waved his hand and said, "Why talk about money? This is life-saving. The first few batches of supplies are free. Let's control California first."

"No money?" Mane was surprised. "Are you kidding me, sir? This is a lot of money. Do you know how much a vaccine costs now?"

"Is it expensive?" Zeng Wangcai looked confused. "Shouldn't it be around ten dollars?"

Zeng Wangcai did what he said and gave Xiaobu the lowest price without any markup. It was almost the production cost of the vaccine. In the later stages, the price was even lower.

As for how the vaccine would be distributed, Zeng Wangcai remembered that the two companies mentioned during the negotiations that it would be best to distribute it free of charge.

Zeng Wangcai certainly knew that Xiaobu would not be free, and he also knew that the vaccine, which cost less than ten dollars, was now priced sky-high in the US. If you could buy a vaccine for a few hundred dollars, you were getting a bargain. In fact, it was impossible to see any trace of the vaccine unless it cost at least a thousand dollars.

Even if it's $1,000 a pop, considering the population base of the US, that's a sky-high price.

Will the price come down later?

Zeng Wangcai feels that this is unlikely. Even if the supply increases, judging from the method of handing over the vaccine to newly established companies for sale in small steps, a big price cut is unlikely.

And this is exactly the effect Zeng Wangcai wants.

"Ten dollars?" Mane was furious. "They're listing it for $180 a dose, but you can't buy it at that price. For less than $1,000, ordinary people won't even hear about the vaccine... It's awful over there."

There was one thing Mane didn't expect. He didn't expect that Zeng Wangcai sold the vaccine to the government for only ten dollars.

Look, a foreigner is better than our own people.

"This is totally wrong!" Zeng Wangcai said with great heartache, "The government shouldn't use this to make money. In our country, vaccines are free, and they are free forever. After the first shot, the second and third shots are all free..."

"Wait a minute sir, there are second and third shots?" Mane was shocked.

Why do we have to fight so much?

"Uh, didn't you know that the antibodies produced by the vaccine have a time limit?" Zeng Wangcai asked in surprise. "Research suggests that the antibodies produced by the vaccine last for up to a year in the human body, so you need to be checked around ten months old and then get the second shot.

"This is based on the premise that the virus has not evolved into a more powerful version. In fact, no one can predict what will happen next. Current research shows that the virus will exist for a long time and coexist with humans."

"Son of a bitch!" Mane, as expected, was furious again. "They treat this as a business, and they plan to do it for the long term. I want to expose them."

If you fight for a long time, one thousand dollars is a scary number just to think about.

Before Zeng Wangcai could speak, Mane quickly said, "Sir, we can't give it away for free. If we do, the vaccine will flow outside of California. We can't test human nature. I don't want anyone in California to make money from this."

Mane is very smart and knows that driven by huge interests, he cannot control his subordinates.

"No, no, no, it has to be free!" Zeng Wangcai smiled faintly. "At least in the early stages, it has to be free. The vaccine will definitely flow outside of California. It's only a matter of time. Not only will the vaccine be free, but the special medicines later on will also be free... You may not have heard the saying, 'Free is the most expensive.'"

"???"

"Don't understand? Think about what you are doing?"

"I'm saving California, keeping California free."

Damn it, just rebel if you want to, why do you say it so elegantly and refinedly?

"You can't accomplish this relying solely on people in California," Zeng Wangcai explained. "You need more people to support you. Whether it's a referendum or the continued use of force, support from outside California is crucial."

"Sir, it's brilliant, really brilliant..." Mane understood.

The class ended here, and Zeng Wangcai and Xiaobao drove to the zoo.

The zoo was very lively that night. Whether it was monkeys or gorillas, they all looked at the two-legged animals outside queuing all night in horror.

The animals had never seen so many two-legged beasts here.

Three days later, the program named Free Code was completed and used for the first time among the vaccinated soldiers, because their next step would be to take to the streets to teach the people of San Francisco.

At the same time, it has been proven in three days that the vaccine is effective. Soldiers who have received the vaccine have developed antibodies, and after testing, there is an 80% probability of immunity even if they come into contact with the virus.

An eighty percent probability is very high.

The remaining 20% were infected, and the special medicine brought by Zeng Wangcai was tested.

The news quickly spread among Mane's troops and morale was boosted.

Within a month, domestic vaccine production capacity increased, and vaccines were continuously shipped to San Francisco. Mane's people completely purified the entire San Francisco.

......

Next door in California, Carson.

This is the closest city to California in Nevada, and it is also the city where the virus is most severe.

Governor Paterson arrived in the city and was taking the police report.

"...According to incomplete statistics, tens of thousands of people broke through the quarantine lines we set up and entered California yesterday. If this continues, Carson will become a ghost town."

"Incomplete statistics? You haven't counted at all, right? Go look outside, how many people are still on the street?"

Carson is already empty. In fact, after the news of free vaccinations in California broke out on the Internet, people who were close to the water and wanted to get the upper hand began to flock there to verify it.

Zeng Wangcai's strategy worked.
