Chapter 151 "Kidney Treasure" Storm (Three more updates, please subscribe)
"Sell it, why not? Make a batch first for clinical trials. If it works, I will ask the experts from the Health Bureau to make improvements on the drug in secret."

After leaving the Chinese Academy of Sciences, President Guo did not waste a moment and went straight to find his superior.

Although the superior leader also agreed in his heart, after all, it was a time like this and he couldn't care about face. However, he couldn't make the decision alone, so he brought Dean Guo to the center.

After listening to the report, the leader took a deep puff of cigarette, thought for a long time, and finally spoke firmly.

Then the leader smiled and said to Dean Guo: "It has come to this point. As long as it can help us alleviate this difficulty and as long as it is not against humanity, what can we not sell?"

"Not only do we need funds for our own research and construction, but we also have to pay back part of the loan to Big Brother every year. It's just a little bit of face, what's the big deal? We are not selling opium to harm people."

It is indeed as the leader said. Now in addition to the funds needed for scientific research and construction, we also have to transport a large amount of materials to our big brother every year to repay their loans.

All we know in later generations is that we owed Big Brother more than 80 billion, and we paid it off last year.

In fact, what we paid back in those five years was not as much as 80 billion yuan, because since my father passed away in 54 and Khrushchev came to power, we have been repaying Big Brother's loans with materials every year.

By the time the relationship broke down, we had repaid more than half of what we owed Big Brother.

In fact, from 54 until the breakdown of relations with Big Brother, the amount of loans we had to repay to Big Brother every year was not much less than that in the five years after the breakdown of relations.

It was just that we happened to be in a difficult period after the breakdown of the relationship, and Big Brother forced us to repay the loan at that time, so it seemed that Big Brother was very unkind after the breakdown of the relationship.

In fact, the situation is not much better now compared to the 60s. It's just that Big Brother is still willing to support us with technical equipment, but we must not give them less than what we deserve.

This is also the reason why, although our industrial sector is developing rapidly and a complete industrial system has been established quickly, people’s living conditions have not been significantly improved.

Because in addition to our own investment in various aspects, a large portion of agricultural products and mineral resources are used every year to repay the debt to Big Brother.

With the above instructions, Blue soon produced a batch of blue pills for clinical trials.

This thing is about observing its effectiveness and impact on the human body, so the results of clinical trials will come out very quickly.

The effect is very good, the results are immediate, and as long as the dosage and frequency of use are controlled, it has basically no impact on the human body.

With the results of the clinical trials, the authorities quickly assembled a group of top Chinese medicine experts to make confidential improvements to the pills, trying to increase the difficulty for others to crack the drug without affecting its effectiveness.

This kind of small thing is easy for those masters of traditional Chinese medicine. They not only add some Chinese herbal ingredients that do not affect the efficacy of the pills, but also add some tonics, which greatly reduces the harm of the drugs to the human body.

The medicine is available and the effect is good. The next step is to see if there is a market for this medicine abroad.

So we turned our attention to the experts and diplomats from our big brother who were providing assistance to our country.

"Davary, do you still have that medicine? Its effect is amazing. I think I can't live without it anymore!"

When Big Brother's diplomats came to us impatiently for medicine, we in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs smiled.

"Comrade Morici, please be patient. The medicine we gave you before was used exclusively by the royal family of our country. It uses very high-quality ingredients, and we can't give you too much." "Oh!" After hearing this, Big Brother's diplomat couldn't help but let out a wail: "That's such a pity! But I find that I can't live without it. Can you think of another way? If it's not too expensive, I'm willing to pay for it."

"It's done!" The comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was delighted, but still took out a bottle of the ordinary version and handed it over with a painful look on his face.

"Well, for the sake of our relationship, I have some regular versions here. Do you want them?"

"Oh?" Big Brother's diplomat took it and looked at it in confusion. After seeing the simple packaging, he complained: "Oh, it does look as ugly as a polar bear that just woke up from hibernation. I wonder how effective it is compared to the previous ones?"

"Don't underestimate it, but its effects are not much different from before. It just lacks some tonics, so you need to pay attention to the dosage and frequency of use when taking it."

"But it is very cheap, and the production cost is only half of the previous royal-only one."

Well, it seems that many of us are fed up with Big Brother’s exorbitant demands, and now he is ruthless in trying to trick him.

"Oh?" After hearing what our staff said, the eyes of the diplomats lit up...

Many similar things have happened not only in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also in other places.

"Haha..." After getting the summary, the leader finally showed a relaxed smile on his face.

"Our drug has already generated a large amount of foreign exchange for us before it even entered formal mass production!"

"According to the budget, the cost of each bottle of the ordinary version of the drug after mass production will be less than 50 cents, and the price we sell it to Big Brother is two rubles per bottle."

"The expensive kind uses fine porcelain and silk, so the cost is much higher, but each bottle costs no more than three yuan, and I sell it to Big Brother for fifty rubles per bottle, which is almost equal to a month's salary for an ordinary worker at Big Brother's place."

"I was thinking that the price was too high and no one would buy it, but I didn't expect that in the end, this drug earned us more foreign exchange than the ordinary version."

After saying this, the leader showed a trace of worry on his face, because he thought of us from Big Brother's situation.

Soon our little blue pill…

Oh, after our improvements, its name is now "Shenbao", and the deluxe version is "Royal Shenbao". This medicine was sent back to their country through Big Brother's personnel on our side.

For a time, this drug became popular within a certain range in Big Brother's territory, and even Western countries noticed this drug. They got some through various channels, and after trying it, they immediately realized the huge business opportunities it contained.

So they all started to have evil ideas and wanted to imitate our finished products.

But the final result is predictable. Their Western technology instantly failed when it came into contact with ancient Eastern culture.

In desperation, they all wanted to obtain the agency rights for this drug in their private capacity.

Not only Western businessmen, but also some people in Hong Kong are getting restless...
