Chapter 712


    As days passed, the research and development went on and on, but there were still no results.


    Meanwhile, the situation in Dragonville worsened with each passing day. Although the mass


    production of the Life Elixir Wine had relieved the shortage of the Alstom Antibiotic to a certain


    extent, the Life Elixir Wine was not proper medicine. It could not rece the antibiotics.


    Therefore, the side effects of the shortage of antibiotics were obvious. It was a disaster. Many


    hospitals were short of antibiotics, so they could not treat the patients.


    As for the patients, their minor illnesses worsened as they couldn''t afford high medical expenses.


    Some were on the brink of death.


    Under such circumstances, Loomis still did not intend to lower the price of the Alstom Antibiotic.


    Instead, he raised the price again, forcing the local pharmaceutical factories to pay for the


    expensive rights from Bald Eagle Pharma.


    In this critical situation, in aboratory of Long City, Fade stared unmovingly at the boiling ck


    liquid in the container.


    He scooped up a spoonful of liquid and took a sip.


    When he did, there was a gleam in his eyes. The corners of his mouth curved and he said, "It''s


    done."


    The other busy employees around hadn''t noticed Fade''s words yet. Fade raised his voice, he raised


    his arms, and said, "We made it. It''s done! The substitute medicine was a sess."


    Suddenly, the wholeb quieted down. Then, people burst into ecstasy and rushed toward Fade,


    cheering and shouting.


    "We made it! We made it!"


    "This month''s hard work was not in vain."


    "Haha, I''m so delighted. We made it. The citizens of Dragonville are saved."


    "Dr. Chen, hurry up, hurry up and announce the good news!"


    Fade smiled and said, "There''s no need to announce the news in a hurry. Now, the first thing we


    should do is to mass-produce the medicine and ensure that all citizens of Dragonville have ess


    to it."


    "Yes, yes, mass production. This is the most important thing."


    "In terms of mass production, I don''t know if we can make it."


    "Don''t worry. Dr. Chen''s expertise is Chinese medicine. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, it


    will be easy to produce."


    "Is there enough raw materials? I remember that one of them seems to be much rarer!"


    "Don''t worry. Dr. Chen already contacted other cities and brought a batch of herbs. They''re


    definitely enough for now."


    "That''s great. Let''s start production as soon as possible."


    Then, Fade informed the relevant departments in Long City about the news. Almost all capable


    companies immediatelymenced work diligently, mass- producing the substitute medicine.


    At the same time, Loomis received a phone call from his cousin, Leslie. Loomis was in the office of


    the Maritime Ocean Pharma''s Dragonville Branch.


    Leslie was somewhat displeased. He said, "Loomis, you''ve been there for a month. Have they given


    up yet?"


    Loomis said, "There is a group of Chinese Medicine practitioners in Dragonville. They said that they


    are going to develop a substitute medicine. I think they are thinking that they have a glimmer of


    hope, they are still struggling to break through."


    Leslie said, "Don''t drag on any longer. Mr. Norton from Bald Eagle Pharma is already dissatisfied.


    You should solve the problem over there as soon as possible, understand?"


    "Okay, Leslie. I''ll take action right away Now, all the hospitals in Dragonville are on the brink of


    copse. As long as I pressure them more, they will definitely all meet their downfalls. At that time,


    they wille to cooperate with us even if they don''t want to," Loomis replied to his cousin.


    Leslie said, "Since you already have an idea, do as you say. Be quick on your toes."


    "Yes!" Loomis hung up, then called his assistant, Henry, ordering, "Prepare a press conference for


    me, just specify that I have something important to announce tomorrow."


    "Yes!" Henry replied. He then turned around and went on to attend to the matter.


    Before he did, Loomis ordered, "Also, remember to leak some news. Say that the press conference


    tomorrow will be the final deadline we gave. If Dragonville refuses to cooperate, we will move out of


    Dragonville. At that time, even if they have the money, they won''t be able to buy the medicine."


    After all, Henry was from Dragonville. When he heard the news, he was stunned. He said, "Director


    Chiang, in this case, I''m afraid that many people in Dragonville will die. Why don''t we..."


    Loomis red at him and said coldly, "Whether they live or die has nothing to do with me! Besides,


    they should me themselves. After all, it''s Dragonville who doesn''t agree to our terms and refused


    to cooperate."


    Henry still wanted to say something, but Loomis ordered, "Get to work."


    Henry could only lower his head. He had no choice but to work on the task at hand.


    After a while, the media that had received the news went into an uproar.


    The news began to spread via newspapers, magazines, TV channels, and the inte. The crowd


    was talking about the final deadline, and they couldn''t help but feel panicked.


    Particrly the family members of patients who had begun to gather at the front of major hospitals


    and the public health department. They requested that the government cooperate with Maritime


    Ocean Pharma, buy the antibiotics, and save their rtives and friends.


    For a moment, Dragonville was in a mess. It was like a bomb that was about to explode at any


    moment.


    In this urgent situation, at ten the next morning, Loomis held a press conference in the Maritime


    Ocean Pharma branch.


    Seeing the bustling reporters below the stage and the leaders in Dragonville with a gloomy face,


    Loomis remained calm and collected. He even smiled and said, "Please quiet down. I have


    important news to announce."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The crowd quieted down. Everyone''s eyes, as well as the cameras, were all focused on Loomis at


    the moment.


    Loomis smiled confidently. His eyes looked over and fell on the head of the hospital and the Minister


    of Health. Then he said, "I think you all know something about the negotiation between Maritime


    Ocean Pharma and the relevant departments of Dragonville."


    Everyone nodded, and Loomis continued, "At first, we are eager to cooperate with Dragonville with


    a warm and sincere attitude. However, after several negotiations, we still failed to reach an


    agreement. Thus, it is with utmost regret for me to announce that our cooperation is over."


    As soon as he finished, the room burst into uproar.


    After all, although there were rumors that Maritime Ocean Pharma would end the cooperation, the


    people refused to believe in the rumors. However, as Loomis had personally confirmed it, it had


    materialized into reality.
