Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 414 So, what’s the price?

what?
Is it possible to eradicate all seven major infectious diseases in one fell swoop, including smallpox, measles, malaria, cholera, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, typhoid and paratyphoid fever, and dysentery?!

Ximen Lang is still struggling with polio, but Xia Yi can solve all seven infectious diseases that are extremely harmful to Beijing and the world at once!

Moreover, regardless of whether it appears or not, or whether it has reached the peak of the disease, it is all nipped in the bud!

"If that were really the case, you would have to be a living bodhisattva! This, this, this would be immeasurable merit, my darling! It's a good thing that this isn't common practice now, otherwise they would definitely write a book about you, build a temple for you, and deify you!"

It really is!
After all, each of the seven major infectious diseases, taken individually, is a super problem that has plagued the world of Beijing for thousands of years, and has brought endless pain to the world of Beijing throughout history.

If Xia Yiyi had solved all of this by herself...
"Forget Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Li Shizhen, even Sun Simiao has to step back! They'll all obediently make room for you!"

It really feels so good, but at the same time it's so difficult.

Even Ximen Lang, who teamed up with Lao Luo and was invincible throughout Beijing, felt that this was a pipe dream, almost impossible to achieve.

In his excitement, Ximen Lang couldn't help but wonder.

"Their place is huge, and they have a lot of people! Solving seven major infectious diseases all at once is no easy task! Such a massive undertaking, with so many, practically a huge amount of medicine, can you handle it? Can you manage it?"

Can you handle it?
This is a clear sign of looking down on Xia Yiyi.

Although this is an incredibly difficult task for ordinary people, or even for most countries.
But is she an ordinary person?
Is the country standing behind her an ordinary country?!

Given the terrifying manufacturing capacity of later generations, let alone just the world of Beijing and its 600 million people, even if you included all the countries and all the people in it!
As long as there are orders, future generations will not be afraid at all!

With a simple boost in production capacity, we can cover all the needs of the entire city of Beijing. (Except for a few high-end vaccines, which still rely on imports to some extent, ordinary vaccines are no problem for us at all!)

Furthermore, they could take advantage of this rare opportunity to use the reputation of Sijiu City World as a place completely free from these seven infectious diseases, and dump a huge wave of products there through the Sijiu City World channel!

If we can really open up this channel, capture this market, and squeeze all those competitors out of business.
The entire global vaccine market—how much money could that generate? How many people in the pharmaceutical industry could it support?
Therefore, it is not false at all.

They never even considered taking advantage of the city from this perspective.

Even if it costs money, future generations would be willing to do it.

Therefore, when Xia Yiyi saw that Ximen Lang had actually begun to doubt this, she immediately spoke up.

"It's just a little bit of vaccine, right? As long as there are orders, demand, and money to be made, let alone just this little bit, we can produce billions of doses a year!"

His tone was so arrogant it was terrifying.

However, when Ximen Lang thought about the steel production of later generations that would directly crush the entire world, he realized that...
It's just a little bit of vaccine, it doesn't seem like such a big deal.
Even influenced by Xia Yiyi, he began to genuinely believe that this was the natural thing to do.

Xia Yiyi's heroic spirit continues.

"And even this is just the beginning. Because besides these more common infectious diseases, the infectious diseases that have plagued us for thousands of years, there are also parasitic diseases, mainly schistosomiasis, filariasis, hookworm disease, and leishmaniasis." "And for example, tuberculosis, which once had a prevalence of over 4% and a mortality rate of over 0.2%, as well as endemic goiter, Keshan disease, and Kashin-Beck disease."

Lin Linlin mentioned no fewer than a dozen diseases that have caused immense suffering to the city of Beijing throughout history, in the present, and in the near future, and which have also been prevalent and outbreaks in later generations.

Xia Yiyi continued.

“The diseases I mentioned above have caused us a lot of suffering. Their conditions are so poor, they are bound to suffer from them as well. So, I might as well take this opportunity to help them get rid of all these diseases at once.”

"Of course, no matter how much help we provide to them, with so many diseases here, it will definitely take a considerable amount of time. But it's okay, we're not expecting to completely eradicate them all at once anyway."

"Let's set a small goal first, like a year, to help them get rid of these stubborn diseases. Then, we can work towards that goal step by step. With our help, they will definitely be able to completely get rid of these diseases and emerge from the shadows cast upon them by history. What do you think?"

Xia Yiyi has already said so much, what else can Ximen Lang say?
"You've considered everything so thoroughly, what else can I say? Of course, I can only give you a thumbs up and sincerely say, 'You're awesome!'"

After a practical explanation, Ximen Lang completely dispelled all his doubts and began to admire Xia Yiyi's touching act of kindness.

He recalled the sugar pills that had been a headache for him from the beginning to the present day, which were needed to prevent polio.

I genuinely feel that I lack the talent and ability to handle these matters.
Okay, actually he's just a bit lazy.

Once the initial enthusiasm fades, I no longer want to put any more effort into these things.

Since Xia Yiyi has already taken care of everything, one more thing won't make a difference.

Nothing bothers the two masters.

To make myself feel more relaxed, I shouldn't worry about this little thing all the time.

Ximen Lang immediately discussed it with Xia Yiyi.

"Since you're so capable, why don't you take care of the polio case too? Don't worry about the money, just deduct it from my share! Anyway, I can't spend all this money, and I have nowhere else to spend it, so I'll just throw it all in! I'll keep a billion or two for emergencies, just for pocket money."

He had just put on a great show in front of Ximen Lang and was feeling quite proud of himself.

As a result, Ximen Lang retorted with this statement.

They might as well leave a billion or two as pocket money.
His reply, brimming with arrogance, left Xia Yiyi momentarily speechless.

Since Xia Yiyi won't say anything, then Ximen Lang has to.

To avoid the possibility that the people in the Four Nine Cities world might accidentally fall into the trap set by Xia Yiyi due to their lack of knowledge, Ximen Lang, who suddenly became serious, decisively asked the question.

"Then, what is the price, and what is the price?"
