Although he was sensible from a young age, Lin Yao's self-assessment was that he had unhealthy psychological factors. From his childhood and the period when he could remember things, he had experienced so much suffering and setbacks. It was naturally impossible for him to have a healthy childhood, adolescence, and youth like ordinary people. If it weren't for having a good family environment and the best parents in the world, he would have already become mentally twisted and abnormal by now. Lin Yao was very certain of this.
Because of this, he does not believe that his mind is always in a healthy state. Therefore, he cannot achieve the carefree and calm demeanor of those who have attained enlightenment as described in records and books when it comes to "cultivating the Tao" or practicing this unknown Luo family medical technique. He cannot achieve the state of being detached from the secular world, and thus his state of mind does not match his current personal level.
Having stumbled and struggled to get to where he is today, the complete trust and full support of his parents are important factors. Most fortunately, he has Xiaocao in his body, a "good friend" who is always thinking about him and paying attention to his situation. Therefore, Lin Yao values any advice or opinion from Xiaocao very much, and this is the case now as well.
In comparison, the instruction given to Xiaocao carries more weight than the important meeting being held at this time, because it concerns life and death—his own life and death, and the life and death of hundreds of millions of compatriots.
"Major General Lin Yao, what is your opinion?"
The Director of the General Office of the State Council, who chaired the meeting, specifically asked for opinions by name. Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, but this participant, who had important say on the latter two topics, remained silent, which greatly affected the progress of the meeting.
"Yaoyao, the meeting moderator asked you a question, asking for your opinion. They just said..."
Before Xiaocao could finish speaking, Lin Yao was jolted awake by a strong slap. General Xia, sitting next to him, slapped Lin Yao on the back, saying, "Quickly tell us your opinion, all the leaders are listening!"
Lin Yao glanced at General Xia beside him with a wry smile. Xiao Cao immediately sped up her speech, telling him about the meeting's progress and discussions. With her ability to multitask, she was perfectly capable of talking to Lin Yao while keeping an eye on the meeting.
"Greetings, esteemed leaders!"
Lin Yao stood up and spoke, following Xiao Cao's words and giving his opinion: "I personally agree with the first point, that is, we should strengthen global cooperation."
After a pause, he said, "There's a small problem with the second topic, let me explain."
"The 'Detoxification Pill' obviously doesn't have any formula or anything like that, and it can't be replicated. There's no point in talking about it; I personally have no objection to handing over the formula and process of the 'Anti-toxic Powder'. In fact, we have already cooperated with the military in this regard, and we have provided the relevant raw material formulas and processes, as well as colony samples of microbial cultivation. If the country is willing to exchange this information with other governments, I personally have no objection."
Lin Yao explained that his uncle, Lin Hongqi, had made contact and arranged for some military experts to participate in the microbial colony cultivation research of Minhong. The relevant samples had already been provided, and a certain amount of bacterial stock solution for research was provided every year. Lin Yao was very generous with this.
Although Xiaocao determined that it was almost impossible to successfully cultivate this microbial colony, any research has positive significance. With the involvement of experts and scholars and the support of the state, even if these colonies cannot be successfully cultivated, there will still be progress in related fields. Therefore, Lin Yao fully cooperated with his uncle Lin Hongqi's work.
Most importantly, in its early stages of development, Minhong also borrowed a large amount of technology transfer funds from the Shenyang Military Region. The production of "drought-resistant beverages" and subsequent national defense-specific agents also relied on a similar batch of microbial colonies, allowing experts to conduct more experimental studies. This can be considered as Minhong providing excellent follow-up services.
As for the fact that specific research results are almost impossible to obtain, that is not Lin Yao's responsibility. It can only be said that the research work of experts and scholars is not up to par. In the scientific field, project cycles of several decades or even hundreds of years are common.
As soon as Lin Yao finished speaking, the old general from the General Logistics Department confirmed this. Heaven knows why this department was chosen to take the lead in implementing it. Lin Yao had no concept of military affairs and had no intention of learning about them.
"What about the '201501' and '201502' cold medicines?"
The director of the general office, who was chairing the meeting, raised a crucial question on behalf of everyone present. Everyone knew that these two cold medicines were the key. They all held their breath, listening intently to what Lin Yao had to say.
Lin Yao smiled, completely lacking the serious expression of a regular soldier reporting for duty, which everyone was used to.
"Actually, everyone knows that '201501 cold medicine' is mainly made of Western medicine ingredients. The ingredients of Minhong's medicine are the same as those of 'Jiuren Pharmaceutical's' special effect medicine. There is no patent involved, and anyone can produce it."
“Analyzing the components of Western medicine is not difficult; on the contrary, it is quite simple. Making this demand for formula and process is a bit excessive. Given the current production capacity of the Minhong Brothers’ company, Longcheng Group, we can fully meet the needs of everyone in the world. We should not be asked to hand over our production processes and core secrets because of the wishes of other countries.”
“Do pharmaceutical companies in Europe and America, including the United States, as well as in Asia and any other foreign countries, also keep their products strictly confidential? Even if others can figure out the manufacturing method, they will use international patents to restrict it, and the drugs sold in our country are not cheap.”
“Minhong is unwilling to provide the core technology for ‘201501 cold medicine’. Besides, this medicine is not a product exclusively monopolized by Minhong. Other companies also produce it. Our foreign debt is astronomical. We can’t let Minhong continue to be in debt. Do you think the patent fees paid by the United States and other countries can help us get rid of our debt problem?”
Lin Yao certainly wouldn't reveal the secret that the unstable levofloxacin derivative was a miracle drug. Although Minhong now had sufficient capacity to repay its huge overseas loans, this repayment work hadn't been carried out. It was better to keep the money in their own hands, especially in these extraordinary times. No one could predict what obstacles they would encounter next. If funds were insufficient, the only way to cope with the endless outbreaks of disease would be for the government to take over the entire Minhong Pharmaceutical Company.
General Xia, standing nearby, was startled and became excited.
Lin Yao once told General Xia about the core secret of the "201501 cold medicine". Although the old general could not remember clearly, he still remembered that the key ingredient was a mutated ofloxacin. This well-known common anti-inflammatory drug was the key to solving the problem. As long as the old general told the experts, they would definitely be able to find a solution.
The information he possessed was worth hundreds of billions of yuan?! Although he had always considered money as dirt, such a huge sum still made General Xia's heart race, his breathing become heavy, and he couldn't help but feel tense.
After a moment's pause, General Xia clenched his fist, exhaled heavily, and made his decision.
"Whatever the situation, I'm not going to tell! My dear son-in-law owes so much money. What if he has to take out a loan to pay the bride price after marrying Wenwen? He's destined to be burdened with huge debts before he's even married. I don't want my Wenwen to suffer like this."
General Xia thought this through and kept his mouth shut. After all, Lin Yao had said that Minhong's production capacity was enough to meet the needs of the whole world. Moreover, Minhong's medicines were always sold at ridiculously low prices in China, so the common people would never suffer. As for making some money from foreigners, that was only natural!
"Can Minhong's production capacity meet the world's demand?"
The Premier, who had been listening attentively like most of the attendees without speaking, suddenly interrupted, staring intently at Lin Yao.
“Yes, Prime Minister.” Lin Yao replied succinctly, “As long as the export procedures can be processed quickly, we will never delay anyone’s treatment. Besides, the last flu was not fatal; it only caused patients to lose strength and affect their work and life.”
Seeing that the Premier nodded and remained silent, Lin Yao continued to offer other opinions following Xiao Cao's suggestion: "'201502 Cold Medicine' is newly released, and the processes and technologies involved are still impossible to replicate. If relevant departments need it, I can provide the industrial production portion to the country, but I can't provide my personal portion; it's truly exclusive."
Lin Yao had no intention of responding to the third issue. Everyone present knew what had happened at sea and there was no technology to exchange. Did they expect Lin Yao to be handed over to foreign research institutions for dissection and research?

I missed another update yesterday, sorry!
Today I saw a book review where a reader wrote, "XX and XXXX are all experts at lying without batting an eye," so I'll try not to explain why in this book. For the sake of making a living, I also need to focus on writing the book, so I'll leave it at that...
Thank you everyone!
