After a long wait, Lin Yao finally heard the Premier speak again: "Although I haven't seen the records on your blacklist yet, everyone's moral failings must be different. Some are minor, some are serious, some are extremely serious, and some are forgivable. Are you all just going to stand by and watch someone die?"
"In the face of this life-threatening pandemic, such inaction is tantamount to murder, and some people with only minor moral failings deserve to die?"
Lin Yao was taken aback, thinking to himself that the Premier's words made sense; he was indeed a professional who had immediately found the key point.
Minhong's blacklist was not tiered or differentiated, and it was not designed to address situations that directly endanger life. Previously, it only used "healthier and cheaper" as leverage.
Now that life and death are at stake, the blacklist really needs to be redefined. At the very least, it should be tiered, with three levels: "deserving to die," "still salvageable," and "warning punishment."
“Premier, you are absolutely right. We will immediately implement a tiered approach. This outbreak was too sudden and too severe. Our blacklist system was previously only used to deal with health issues.”
Lin Yao immediately admitted his mistake and corrected it, a typical good kid behavior. "However, as long as it involves corruption and bribery that results in the death of an ordinary person, we will definitely not be lenient with it! If the amount involved reaches a certain amount, even if no one has died, the same applies. I will discuss the specific standards with Chengdu later."
"And what about the rest?" the Prime Minister immediately pressed, for the sake of human lives.
"The remaining donations cannot exceed one housing unit, and the assets of the entire family and relatives are also included. It's complicated, but it's also quite easy to determine. We'll consider it when the time comes."
Lin Yao smiled and said, "Let's donate all our wealth to the Minhong Charity Foundation. Our foundation is the most transparent and more trustworthy than any other foundation. It's simply the best choice."
Seeing Lin Yao start advertising, the Premier was both amused and exasperated, but he felt much better, at least the kid wasn't disregarding the lives of so many people.
"By the way," Lin Yao added, "all officials with family members residing abroad are on the blacklist and will not be tolerated. Since they are sending their spouses and children abroad, we should not treat them as Chinese and not care about their lives."
The blatant determination of life and death chilled the Premier, but he had nothing to say. If these officials hadn't been involved in something shady, why would they send all their immediate family members abroad? Even if some were innocent, they were extremely rare. Let them die if they want; there's no time to worry about that now. Lin Yao has plenty of people he wants to kill; he can't afford to take care of these people who are destined to become citizens of other countries.
Seeing that the Prime Minister had no further objections, Lin Yao was very pleased and immediately made further requests.
“I demand that no government agency at any level intercept any medicines shipped by Minhong in the future. If you agree, I will have the Yi family take charge of the escort. Anyway, they are not afraid of Qiangzi. One person can take on a whole group of people. I don’t think anyone will dare to intercept the goods.”
Lin Yao's demands were delivered with a roguish air, which struck the leaders as odd. It was probably the first time in history that such remarks had been made in a formal meeting hall in Zhongnanhai.
"Lin Yao, you should also take into account the situation of people on the blacklist. Let a hundred schools of thought contend. Unless there is something serious, you should give people a chance to turn over a new leaf."
The Prime Minister once again worked hard to save lives. From Lin Yao's words, he understood that the blacklist was very long, perhaps even alarmingly long. As the Prime Minister of a country, he had to save these people's lives.
A mortality rate of 10 is no joke, not to mention there may be other more deadly epidemics in the future. Regardless of whether the plague is related to Lin Yao or not, death is inevitable. Even if we are just pretending now, we should try our best to save the lives of the people.
"We can consider this and go back to implement a classification system as well."
Lin Yao immediately accepted the Premier's opinion, "However, people like Wang Shikuai, those who advocate how real estate should be, and those who have a very serious negative impact on society, I personally think they all deserve to die. Although we will not crack down on them, we will never help them."
"By the way, what other public figures have an extremely bad social impact, including those in the entertainment, academic, IT, and manufacturing industries? They have ruined the integrity and morals of this country. Helping them is more disgusting than swallowing a fly."
"Some other less outrageous unscrupulous businessmen have already donated all their wealth, but I guess many people would rather have money than their lives, so we can't be blamed for that."
Lin Yao feigned helplessness again, insisting that an exclusive monopoly was the only option, and he went to extreme lengths to demand exorbitant prices.
"Furthermore," the Prime Minister said helplessly, starting a new topic, "it is now certain that the epidemic has spread to the whole world. Although flights from airports in the state and other regions controlled the relevant passengers in the first place, the epidemic in many countries was almost inevitable. It's just that they controlled it better because of time, and the scope of the epidemic was not expanded, unlike our country."
"Some countries have made requests that we disclose the production process and raw material formula of the effective drug and provide sufficient quantities of the medicine. You must cooperate in completing these tasks because they are related to our country's international reputation and economic trade. Although you have said that the formula and production process cannot be replicated, you should do your best to provide the medicine."
Lin Yao looked at the Premier, considered it carefully, and couldn't make up his mind.
After receiving a report from a member of the Yi family who was on duty at a highway toll station in Huizhou, Elder Yi Potian reacted as soon as the epidemic broke out. However, this also prevented him from containing the spread of the virus in time, but gave other countries ample time to respond.
Although only the UK and France have reported cases so far, and both countries have contained the outbreak in one city due to time constraints, China has many neighboring countries, and border smuggling and other factors can facilitate the spread of the virus. Therefore, it is quite normal for such a virulent virus to cause global panic.
However, Minhong's production capacity simply cannot support such a huge patient base. Even if Lin Yao could refine the medicine, it would be hampered by Minhong's involvement.
"Is it a production capacity issue?" the Premier asked in a low voice. "If so, I will involve several large state-owned and state-controlled pharmaceutical companies. At this point, the process and formula cannot be kept secret, even if it is only a part of the process and formula!"

"Thank you, government! Thank you, Chairman! Thank you, Premier! Thank you, everyone!"
Lin Yao expressed his joy with the most classic thank-you speech. His young face beamed with happiness, instantly filling the entire conference hall with joy.
"Let Minhong contract these pharmaceutical factories for a certain period of time. Minhong will bear the costs of employee salaries and benefits, production and operation, and pay 150% of the profits of the same period of the previous year. However, Minhong will be responsible for all decision-making and production management. After things calm down, Minhong will withdraw from these pharmaceutical factories."
Lin Yao immediately seized the opportunity to make a request, "Only in this way can we increase production."
Although Lin Yao's efficiency in using electric light to refine medicine has not been verified, he now has a way to nourish electric light by absorbing lightning. It is thought that by working overtime to refine medicine, he can keep up with the production pace of various pharmaceutical factories.
Fortunately, the new virus has a very poor ability to survive outside the body. As long as it is properly controlled, the epidemic will soon be over. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lin Yao to keep refining medicine day and night. This situation of being completely passive in defense and responding to every move must be reversed!
As for demanding management rights over several state-owned or state-controlled pharmaceutical factories, that is a necessary prerequisite. Otherwise, numerous superiors interfering in production will only make the whole thing a mess. Such monopolistic enterprises are precisely the fertile ground that some people most want to get involved in.
The Premier did not immediately respond to Lin Yao. He turned and exchanged glances with the Chairman and other leaders, all knowing that they had to approve these opinions immediately. The critical situation of the epidemic could not tolerate any delay, and even holding another meeting to study it would waste time. Moreover, the conditions offered by Lin Yao were quite generous, and there was no reason to bargain or interfere further.
Seeing the Premier nod slowly as a representative, Lin Yao immediately took out his mobile phone, turned it on and dialed in front of all the leaders, informing the Chengdu Minhong headquarters of the latest situation, and asking them to immediately arrange a special team to take over some large and medium-sized pharmaceutical factories. As for the list of pharmaceutical factories, the Premier also instructed a special person to arrange and notify Minhong Pharmaceutical immediately. The work efficiency reached an unprecedented speed.
"Excuse me..." Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, then made another decision, "Do you all carry jade bottles with you? Since you came on short notice, I didn't bring many jade bottles. I'll give you some 'antidote pills' now, and I'll send someone to deliver some more later. Your safety is the most important thing. From now on, take one 'antidote pill' every day. This pill will not have any side effects."
Lin Yao had actually discussed this with Xiao Cao long ago. Each leader present carried a small jade bottle with them, but the number of pills inside was very small. It seemed that after the news of the outbreak came, each leader immediately took the pills and had been taking them on time. However, their quota was not high, and at this moment, some leaders had even run out of "antidote pills," so it was necessary to replenish their reserves.
The safety of these people is the most important thing for the entire country; otherwise, such a critical moment would surely descend into chaos, even leading to serious consequences. Lin Yao has a sufficient understanding of this matter of principle, which is why he submitted the medication application at this moment.
The Prime Minister accepted the small jade bottle from Lin Yao with a complicated expression. The noticeably increased weight told him that it was filled with pills the size of mung beans. For a moment, he didn't know how to evaluate Lin Yao.
Patriotic, sparing no effort to save lives, yet stubborn as a bull, able to bear putting complete strangers in extreme danger, simply because he wants the whole country and the whole nation to become prosperous and morally upright.
