The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 355 Press Conference (II)
The bearded man looked incredulous. "How could the Hua country people invent something so amazing? You must be joking!"
The pimple-faced reporter was too lazy to pay attention to this ignorant and arrogant fellow.
Although the bearded man was ignorant and arrogant, he wasn't completely stupid. Seeing the reactions of the people around him, he knew that the pimple-faced reporter wasn't joking with him.
He suddenly felt a sense of loss, forming a stark contrast with the people around him.
Amidst the excitement and agitation, no one noticed his disappointment. At this moment, a reporter asked Song Anran, "Miss Song, do you have any plans to apply this new transaminase to medicine?"
Song Anran replied with a smile, "It's already in the plans. In fact, my team and I have decided to establish a biopharmaceutical research institute in Jiang City. The main task at that time will be to develop new transaminases and apply them to the medical field."
Then another reporter asked, "Why Hua country? You know, Hua country is not considered a first-class country in the pharmaceutical field in the world. You and your team have better choices."
Song Anran frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, "Science has no borders, but scientists have their own motherland. As a Hua country person, I will be extremely proud to be able to build a research institute that changes the physique of all mankind on the land of Hua country!"
As soon as Song Anran finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.
After all, this was Hua country's home field, and Song Anran's words undoubtedly greatly moved all the Hua country people present and greatly stimulated their national pride.
The applause lasted for several minutes before gradually fading away.
After the applause ended, a foreigner in a dress with an extraordinary demeanor suddenly walked onto the stage with brisk steps.
He had handsome features, and his face was as angular as if it had been chiseled with a knife. His sapphire-like eyes were deep and charming, and his noble temperament immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone originally thought that this foreigner was Song Anran's boyfriend. After all, in terms of appearance and temperament, the two were very well-matched.
However, after Song Anran saw this person, she looked puzzled and surprised because she didn't know this man at all.
"May I ask who you are?"
As soon as Song Anran said a word, she saw a flash of blue light in the depths of the handsome man's eyes. Then, he seemed to have lost his soul, neither speaking nor moving, and looked extremely dull.
Chen Xiao's eyes changed slightly, realizing that something was wrong.
Then, the handsome man smiled charmingly, picked up the microphone, and said elegantly, "Hello everyone, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Edward Fuguera, the president's assistant of Kangxing Company."
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the audience -
"Isn't Kangxing Company a global pharmaceutical giant? Why are their people up there?"
"It doesn't look like they're here to cause trouble. Song Anran didn't drive him down... Could it be that Song Anran has already cooperated with Kangxing Company?"
"Well, that makes sense. After all, Kangxing Company is financially strong and can continuously provide research and development funds."
"But in this way, wouldn't Song Anran's words just now be equivalent to slapping herself in the face?"
Everyone looked at each other and discussed.
At the same time, Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold. Is a big move coming?
He bided his time to see what this Edward was up to.
Soon, Edward answered the doubts in everyone's mind, including Chen Xiao's.
He continued, "Don't misunderstand, everyone. Our Kangxing Company and Miss Song Anran have no cooperative relationship. The reason why I took the liberty to come to the stage is just because I was infected by the atmosphere just now..."
"It can be seen that everyone is very concerned about the health problems of all mankind, and our Kangxing Company has developed a new type of drug that can quickly treat cancer. The global launch was originally scheduled for a month later."
"But seeing that everyone's emotions are so high today, I decided privately to take advantage of the momentum of this press conference to launch this new drug, which can also be regarded as making my own contribution to the health of mankind!"
After Edward finished speaking, the audience fell silent.
So this person is here to make trouble...
Didn't you say that you synthesized a new type of transaminase that can be used to treat cancer in the future?
But I have already developed a drug that can treat cancer, which is much faster than you!
You must know that a new drug needs to go through multiple rounds of testing before it can be launched on the market.
This process takes at least a few years, and sometimes even decades.
Kangxing Company has already come up with a finished product, so the comparison immediately shows who is superior!
While everyone was shocked and surprised, they also felt very puzzled.
Why is this person from Kangxing Company here to make trouble, but Song Anran didn't say a word, and was completely indifferent.
Song Anran didn't react, and the others in the team didn't dare to react either.
They thought that this was a surprise that Song Anran and Edward had communicated in advance!
After all, Edward was eloquent and said nonsense about contributing to the health of mankind.
For a time, everyone was very confused.
Of course, also very shocked.
And that bearded American regained his pride and cheered for his compatriots.
"Good job, I said long ago that if you want to change the world, you have to rely on us Americans!"
"What new transaminase? We don't know how many times ahead of you!"
The bearded man waved his fist excitedly.
At this time, the pimple-faced reporter said cautiously, "Sir, you may be happy too early. After all, what Mr. Edward said has not been confirmed."
The bearded man glared suddenly.
"What do you mean? Are you questioning the words of us Americans? We Americans always do what we say!"
The pimple-faced reporter shrank his neck in fright.
"No, no, no, I don't mean to question. It's just that science is rigorous. Before his words are confirmed, it's better not to fall into unnecessary fanaticism."
Many people shared the same idea as the pimple-faced reporter.
Soon someone raised a question, asking Edward if he had enough real test data or video evidence to prove what he said.
Edward smiled charmingly again and said proudly, "Data and videos can be faked to deceive people. In order to prove to everyone that what I said is true, I will do an experiment on the spot and let everyone witness the miracle!"
As he spoke, Edward winked at the assistant offstage.
Just as everyone was curious about how Edward was going to prove it on the spot, an old man sitting in a wheelchair was pushed onto the stage.
The old man was an old white man, in his twilight years, looking skinny.
His head was drooping, and it was unclear whether he was too weak or already asleep.
Edward introduced, "This is Mr. Peter, a seriously ill patient with terminal cancer. In fact, just yesterday, the doctor had already issued a death notice to him. His life can only last up to three days."
"With the consent of Mr. Peter's family, next, I will inject him with the latest anti-cancer drug developed by Kangxing Company. As for the result, please wait and see!"
Everyone thought that this guy really came prepared, even bringing the medicine and the patient. He was full of hot air.
However, Americans have always been like this, and everyone has long been used to it.
But this experiment is too childish. Even if your anti-cancer drug really works, can it take effect on the spot?
What's more, this old white man still looks like he's dying. He doesn't look like he can be cured!
In short, everyone is not optimistic about Kangxing Company's reckless behavior.
They also couldn't figure out why Kangxing Company, which has always been known for its stability, would make such a hasty decision.
This guy named Edward has never appeared in public before, and his identity is very suspicious.
However, the disapproval of the crowd cannot stop Edward.
And the only person who can stop him at this moment, Song Anran, has been hypnotized by him...
