If such talented people don't realize their personal value, wouldn't that be a waste of their potential? And wouldn't that incite both gods and men to anger?
"Thank you, Chairman!"
Lin Yao's words interrupted the chairman's thoughts. After taking his seat as instructed, he continued to report the situation, "The new special drug has been developed. However, due to the tight schedule, we are unable to find a conventional manufacturing method to produce the targeted drug. So, just like the last outbreak in Yanji, on the one hand, the Minhong headquarters in Chengdu is stepping up the production of the main drug, and on the other hand, I need to carry out special refining of the drug, and then combine them to form a targeted special drug."
Lin Yao's new drug plan left everyone with some regrets. The fact that it could not be produced using ordinary processes meant that mass production was impossible. This involved the safety of the people, especially Lin Yao himself, and the smooth production environment. It could be said that without these two things, the entire country would once again fall into extreme danger.
"If you encounter any difficulties in production that require government assistance, please let us know, and the government will certainly cooperate in making arrangements."
The chairman spoke again, frowning as he finalized the matter. In such a critical moment, a smooth production and transportation environment was essential.
"Thank you, Chairman! We do need help."
Lin Yao smiled and stood up from his chair again. "First, we need the cooperation of logistics units and departments, including various departments and checkpoints involved in airports, land and water transportation, as well as highway toll stations and checkpoints."
"Logistics includes the delivery of finished drugs to all parts of the country, as well as the procurement, allocation and transportation of raw materials."
At this point, Lin Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his expression turned serious. "By the way, speaking of raw materials, we feel that some public and private medicinal herb trading companies in China have behaved very poorly in the face of major issues. They are hoarding medicinal herbs, driving up prices, and even inciting farmers and some local organizations to create obstacles, making the entire medicinal herb market chaotic and disorderly. This has not only increased the cost of medicinal herbs but also made procurement extremely inefficient. It has already affected normal emergency production during the epidemic!"
Seeing the stern and hateful expressions on the faces of the leaders, Lin Yao dropped a bombshell.
"My personal opinion is that these people should be stripped of their right to use Minhong medicines. No Minhong medicines should be allowed to circulate to these people, including their immediate family members!"

"I'll break their bones. Peel off their skin, cut open their chests to see if they're truly heartless! At the very least, I'll strip away all the effects of the Minhong drug they've taken, let them get infected with the virus, and let them die!"
Lin Yao's face suddenly showed hatred, but he didn't say these words. His anger reached its peak, and even his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably a few times, which made the leaders a little scared.
After a long silence, it was the Premier, who had finished exchanging glances with the leaders, who spoke first, "I heard that your Minhong Pharmaceutical has a blacklist..."
Lin Yao understood the implication: simply blacklisting these unscrupulous businessmen would suffice; there was no need to discuss it here. This was Zhongnanhai, a place for discussing national affairs, not a venue for individual companies to discuss business practices.
“Yes, Prime Minister,” Lin Yao smiled, thinking to himself that he was just about to steer the conversation in this direction, and he couldn’t let him change the subject so easily. “Minhong has a blacklist, and these unscrupulous merchants who hoard and manipulate medicinal materials without regard for the lives of others are all on the blacklist. However, we cannot restrict their use of Minhong’s products, because we cannot control the sale of medicines ourselves right now, which is exactly what I’m going to talk about today.”
"What is it?" The Prime Minister's expression also turned serious, knowing that Lin Yao was making demands for the government's assistance.
“Minhong’s pharmaceutical factory is now completely surrounded by Chengdu citizens, and the army is even needed to maintain order in order to transport raw materials and finished drugs in and out.”
Lin Yao also put away his smile, "But these citizens who are blocking the way have no idea that even if Minhong doesn't transfer all of its 'anti-toxic granules' stock to the East Province, it's not certain that they will be able to buy them, even if they are Minhong members."
"Because the medicines shipped by air in the previous shipments did not fully reach their destinations, when we tracked down the logistics company, we were told that these batches of goods were intercepted by the relevant departments and taken to the factory. Not to mention that non-Minhong members in the factory province can also enjoy our medicines, now that the epidemic has actually spread to the whole country, shouldn't people in other regions be taken care of? Is there anyone who knows more about the inventory situation and how resources in various places should be allocated and arranged than us Minhong?"
"By the way, even if Minhong doesn't pursue those shipments, who should pay for them? Are we supposed to provide them for free?"
Lin Yao poured out all his thoughts in one breath. Although he did not directly state that the government should not interfere with the sales and quota system of Minhong products, his words pointed directly to this key point.
Silence, utter silence.
The meeting room fell silent; the leaders all wore serious expressions, lost in their own thoughts.
The chairman was in a dilemma. This kid was too individualistic and completely impossible to manage or control, but now he couldn't do without him and Minhong Pharmaceutical behind him. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
Fortunately, this kid is kind-hearted and upright, and his whole family loves their country. That's something to be thankful for and praise.
Thinking this through, the chairman decided to leave the matter alone, picked up his teacup to drink water, and let others handle Lin Yao's terms.
Other leaders were either thinking, "Why is this kid so stingy? He can't even spare some emergency medicine. Isn't Minhong Pharmaceutical always doing charity work? How can he be so concerned about such trivial interests in the face of such a disaster?"
The Premier's expression darkened. He understood the meaning behind Lin Yao's words. He had known about the young man and his family's ideals since the first time he met Lin Yao. These words were clearly a complaint that the relevant departments had interfered with Minhong Pharmaceutical's sales quota work, and now he was demanding an explanation.
In a matter of life and death, this kid still insists on Minhong's regulations! Doesn't he have any compassion?!
The Premier suddenly coughed violently a few times, but tried his best to keep the coughing sound down. He was so excited that he choked on his own saliva, and his face turned red from the saliva.
After a long while, the Prime Minister, who had just recovered, discreetly glanced around and found that everyone was pretending to think about problems and avoiding dealing with Lin Yao. He sighed inwardly and could only continue to speak up himself.
"The payment for the goods will be settled with you by the relevant departments when the time comes. These medicines won't be lost in your own country!"
The Premier's tone was somewhat harsh; even his usually impeccable composure couldn't hold back his temper. "I heard from the epidemic prevention and control command center in Dong Province that Minhong Pharmaceutical hasn't shipped any goods for a whole day. The hospitals in Dong Province are inadequate, and the situation there is extremely critical. Don't tell me you're not shipping goods and are just watching these compatriots get sick or even die!"
Lin Yao was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Let's have a discussion about this, since that's exactly what I was going to say."
"Premier, this epidemic is very special. The incubation period can even reach 32 hours, and the infectivity is unprecedentedly strong. With such frequent population movement, we don't know how many people across the country have been infected. From the time the virus spread 74 hours ago until now, we don't know how many people have been infected and are currently in the incubation period."
"East China is an economically developed region with extremely frequent population movement. Even if just one person goes to Heilongjiang, they can quickly spread the virus. It is impossible to avoid or resist it. We cannot allocate all our resources to a place just because the disease first appears there. We must take a comprehensive and coordinated approach. Otherwise, once the resources are exhausted, the newly infected people will only die."
"I can say with certainty that the 4.15 million doses of 'antiviral powder' shipped in the early stages did not have their maximum effect, and they could only prevent 4.15 million people from being infected with the epidemic within a month."
"Moreover, according to convention, it is impossible for 4.15 million people to benefit. There must be an unknown number of people hoarding medicine to save their lives, ranging from three or five boxes to more than a dozen boxes. Some people may even embezzle and resell it. Even if there is no large-scale reselling, it is certain that it will circulate to areas outside of the East Province. Nobody in this world is stupid. When such a serious epidemic occurs, people will definitely think about saving their lives first, even if they are thousands of miles away from the outbreak site."
"Only by allocating resources independently can we maximize the use of Minhong Pharmaceutical's existing resources! If any department or individual thinks I'm exaggerating or talking nonsense, they can immediately establish a supervisory and investigation organization to investigate the drug allocation and distribution that has already occurred. We will provide the personnel to cooperate. We don't need a large-scale investigation; a small-scale, small-area investigation will suffice. This is very easy."
Lin Yao slowly scanned the group, showing neither arrogance nor anger, as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself. However, his words were like a slap in the face to certain people and organizations, leaving the leaders speechless.
