Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The entire internet is moved by Meng Chuan's actions.

Meng Chuan's deeds were even leaked to the outside world.

It also quickly generated a strong response on the international internet.

Many people envy China for having a Meng Chuan.

It should be noted that there are many people in the international capital market who are richer than Meng Chuan.

However, there wasn't a single person who truly shared Meng Chuan's sense of responsibility.

For these foreigners, they had only ever heard of capital profiting from national crises.

I have never heard of capital generously donating during a national crisis.

In a short time, Meng Chuan also gained a large number of fans on foreign websites.

Even some countries that have friendly relations with my country were among the first to accept the affordable supplies from Mong Chuan.

They all awarded Meng Chuan the "Permanent International Friend Award".

The Chinese Olympic team also awarded Meng Chuan the "Coubertin Medal".

Although it was originally a medal associated with the Olympic Games.

However, it can also be awarded to individuals who promote humanitarianism and help vulnerable groups globally.

It embodies the combination of charity and public welfare.

These so-called medals may be a great honor for many people.

But it didn't cause much of a stir in Meng Chuan's heart.

Because he is planning how to retaliate against the United States.

After several days of research, Meng Chuan released an announcement on his social media.

In terms of basic medicines, commonly used drugs such as antibiotics and antiviral drugs are exported to other countries at prices 5-10 times their cost.

However, those sold to the United States are priced at 100 times the cost.

Furthermore, the maximum monthly purchase volume is limited and cannot exceed 60% of normal demand.

This pricing is essentially a unilateral sanction imposed by Meng Chuan on the United States.

However, considering that the American people are innocent, and given the global disaster, Meng Chuan did not want to push things to the extreme.

After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.

We can severely damage them, but we cannot exterminate them.

Meng Chuan understood this principle.

There are also various medical devices, and any of them exported to the United States are priced a hundred times higher.

With the release of this announcement, netizens across the country immediately felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Firstly, given the guarantee of domestic supply, netizens naturally support Meng Chuan's high-priced exports to foreign countries.

After all, Meng Chuan is a businessman.

Making money is the essence of a businessman.

Meng Chuan is willing to forgo making money domestically; it's out of goodwill.

Forbidding Meng Chuan from making money from foreigners is moral blackmail.

Moreover, this kind of thing makes the national pride of the people across the country soar.

On major domestic social media platforms, netizens' comments exploded like fireworks, filled with the exhilarating feeling of finally being able to vent their frustrations after years of suppression.

[Awesome! That feels so good! Finally, they've tasted what it's like to be 'strangled'!]

Meng Chuan's move was a textbook example of 'using their own methods against them'!

They always say "America First," now let them know that arrogance will eventually be punished!

[When I used to watch the news, I always felt that we were being held back in many ways on the international stage, but today we can finally stand tall!]

We want to tell the world: don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have hegemony. Everyone should behave themselves before our great nation of China!

In the comments section, phrases like "satisfying," "well done," and "that's real toughness" became frequently used.

However, as this announcement spread internationally...

It instantly garnered widespread praise from insightful people around the world.

Even important figures from many countries have come out to give it a thumbs up.

Because this is the fairest pricing.

Some countries are poor, and the prices are too high for them to afford.

They could only watch helplessly as their own people died from illness.

Some countries are wealthy and have stronger purchasing power.

If a uniform price is implemented, countries with strong purchasing power will engage in a buying frenzy.

There will inevitably be situations where medical supplies are stockpiled.

It cannot be ruled out that some countries might take advantage of their stronger purchasing power to engage in reselling.

Therefore, Meng Chuan's original intention was to reap some benefits from American capital.

Unexpectedly, he became a globally recognized philanthropist.

One commentator on international social media made this assessment:

[Mr. Meng Chuan's pricing strategy provides a new paradigm for resource allocation during global public health crises—it upholds the bottom line of countering malicious behavior while also taking into account the human touch, giving concrete expression to the concept of "fairness" in the face of disaster.]

News reports from many countries have even specifically pointed out:

This differentiated pricing strategy precisely addresses the pain points in the global allocation of medical resources: cost-friendly pricing for developing countries prevents vulnerable groups from being abandoned by capital during disasters; while restrictive pricing for specific countries curbs the risk of powerful entities hoarding medical resources. This is not a commercial act, but a global relief operation based on market mechanisms.

Even a well-known international superstar posted three tweets praising it:

While some countries are still debating how to use vaccine cards to demarcate national borders, Mr. Meng Chuan used a pricing list to express the simplest form of justice: in the face of disease, nations may be strong or weak, but life has no inherent value.

Others said:

This is a brilliance of humanity that transcends geopolitics.

Netizens around the world have even suggested that this day be designated as "Global Day for Healthcare Equity".

Of course, some people are happy while others are sad.

After Meng Chuan announced this pricing, the US domestic market was instantly thrown into chaos.

Commonly used medicines on pharmacy shelves were snapped up.

Drug prices on the black market have soared to five times the official purchase price.

The purchase price is already 100 times higher; if it increases by another 5 times, it will be 500 times higher for ordinary people.

Aside from the middle class, ordinary people can hardly afford it anymore.

Protests spread from Wall Street to various states.

American netizens are divided into two camps:

Some people angrily tweeted "Meng Chuan, get off the planet!"

They called Meng Chuan a "robber who takes advantage of a disaster."

But many ordinary people directed their anger at those in power:

Instead of blaming others, we should think about why we even have to import face masks.

This is Trump's fault; he's made enemies everywhere internationally, which has brought this trouble upon us.

Those tariff policies, supposedly for the benefit of the United States, what's the result? Soaring prices.

[They keep chanting "greatness again," whether they're truly great or not is unknown, but our lives are definitely getting harder and harder.]

As the protests intensified, the infection rate also increased.

The more people are infected, the more dependent the United States becomes on medical supplies.

Inside the pentagonal building, during an emergency meeting, some people slammed their fists on the table and roared:

"The antibiotic reserves of overseas troops are only enough to last for two weeks. If this continues, there will be a large-scale outbreak of infection among the troops stationed in the Middle East!"

If even the safety of troops stationed overseas cannot be guaranteed.

That's going to cause a huge mess.

According to the Treasury report, if the current export prices are maintained, the United States will spend more than $5000 billion on procuring supplies within a month.

If this continues for a year, it could require additional expenditures exceeding $2 trillion.

The fiscal deficit ratio broke through 40%, setting a new historical record.

This triggers a chain reaction, like a net that gets tighter and tighter.

This has firmly trapped the US economy and people's livelihoods.

Meng Chuan's move will surely bring him a fortune.
