Chapter 234: United States Medicine God Zhou Mo Sen?
"Dr. Zhou, please believe in my sincerity. I have always kept myself clean, never had a boyfriend, and have never used any narcotics or opioids.
Moreover, I believe you would agree with me.
Our Chinese DNA is the finest on this planet. Our brain on average is one cubic inch larger than that of white people. Our bodies have the best overall attributes, unlike white or black people who have various issues..."
Dr. Huang Rongbing clearly came well-prepared.
She specifically mentioned having offspring without bringing up marriage.
It shows her sincerity.
Zhou Mo Sen naturally understood this. So, what would he choose?
Dr. Zhou walked up close to Dr. Huang, who was slightly trembling.
She even closed her eyes.
But Zhou Mo Sen squatted down and picked up her skirt.
"Dr. Huang, you're too hasty, but I do think your proposal is good."
Hmm?
"Is it..." Huang Rongbing blushed with a shy red glow on her face.
She was probably wondering which proposal was good.
To continue Huang Wanhao's 'dream', or to have offspring.
And Zhou Mo Sen quickly gave his answer.
Dr. Zhou personally helped Dr. Huang put on her skirt.
"Diabetes is such a difficult disease to conquer that any doctor in the world must think it over carefully, myself included."
In short, he needed to consider it.
Huang Rongbing opened her eyes, filled with surprise.
Could it be that she wasn't tempting enough for him?
He didn't even take advantage of her... That wouldn't even be called taking advantage.
Evidently, Huang Rongbing's previous preparations also involved learning about Zhou Mo Sen's reputed openness towards women.
But in reality, Zhou Mo Sen was not as lecherous as assumed.
Especially in this case—the bait Huang Rongbing threw was just too enticing.
Yet there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Zhou Mo Sen thought that even if they were to collaborate, it would be a matter of mutual exploitation.
Conquering the 'dream' of diabetes is undoubtedly of high value.
But it also definitely comes with costs.
For instance, if it doesn't succeed, my reputation as the renowned Zhou Mo Sen might be affected.
But Zhou Mo Sen believed this 'dream' could be woven by him.
He needed to think it over carefully.
Of course, he couldn't make a decision now; he's not the type to pursue every woman he sees.
Though speaking of which, Dr. Huang is quite pretty.
Especially as a doctor, she has that intellectual beauty typical of doctors.
Just like in those Japanese love movies, doctors are quite popular... ahem, what's he thinking?
Anyway, let's send Dr. Huang home for now.
In fact, when Dr. Huang left, her eyes were still filled with apprehension.
Zhou Mo Sen thought such an expression was quite good.
And now he needed to think quietly.
...
Night fell, and he soaked in the little bath again.
Zhou Mo Sen drank while looking at the distant sea.
He was pondering over things.
In fact, he already had a decent plan.
Dr. Zhou thought of the Bloodline Gang.
That guy Mai Dangkui needed new business.
And in terms of business, the Bloodline Gang was quite skilled in logistics.
For example, importing hyaluronic acid from China... well, we smuggle it.
But anyway, this business is still quite excellent.
Moreover, the demand for hyaluronic acid in the US is growing larger and larger.
Especially in Hollywood.
Because some actresses today want to highlight their good figures, they not only inject hyaluronic acid into their breasts,
but also into their shoulders.
This can create that beautiful straight shoulder line in clothing.
Anyone familiar with fitness knows it's really hard to train for that shoulder line.
It's easy to accidentally bulk up the trapezius muscle, which is fine for men but unsightly for women if it's too big.
And the straight shoulder line is a must-have for many models, so...
Thank you, hyaluronic acid, thank you, Dr. Ling from Shandong, China.
Zhou Mo Sen really made a lot of money.
But now... yes, he thought of another 'good medicine' to smuggle.
Insulin!
First, one must understand the concept clearly.
Using insulin is actually not a problem at all, extremely safe, as long as you don't overdose or inject without eating.
Insulin is the good medicine needed by diabetic patients the most.
But!
Here we are in the United States.
When Zhou Mo Sen was a doctor back home, he heard insulin was relatively expensive in the US.
Yes, back then it was 'relatively expensive'.
But upon arriving here, he found out, since he has also seen quite a number of obese patients.
What?
A single insulin shot could cost over a hundred dollars?
What the hell is this exorbitant price?!
To understand, insulin comes in many types and various packaging, so its price can't be completely uniform.
But, overall, in the recent years, insulin prices in the US have been increasing by 10% annually!
Compared to neighboring countries, it's even more astonishing.
In Canada, basically, you can buy the same insulin as in the US for just a tenth of the price.
Some might say, isn't this covered by medical insurance?
It certainly can be.
But you must understand, there are many types of insurance, some don't cover insulin, or certification is very cumbersome.
In fact, when Zhou Mo Sen was a doctor back home, he knows that our country's insurance is already pretty good, but to cover insulin, it has to enter the special or chronic disease category, requiring a rather complicated confirmation process.
The one in charge is the endocrinology department anyway, and he's a general surgery doctor, so he only roughly understands.
In short, it's tough to cover insulin with insurance in multiple countries.
And here in the US, insulin prices are extraordinarily high.
The key point is that this massive country with 300 million people, the highest obesity rate globally,
has only three insulin companies!
Those being Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, and Sanofi.
Given there are only three, they're undoubtedly giants.
Moreover, a majority of these three companies' executives have either held positions in the US health departments, or will do so in the future.
Like Eli Lilly's current executive, Alex Hazard, who later became the Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Old Lamp administration.
There are also many scandals; Novo Nordisk has sponsored some food show hosts for years, urging them to add sugar, influencing viewers to add sugar.
This was exposed by the American media.
In fact, President Jinmao even proposed a bill to lower insulin prices.
But Old Lamp just nullified it altogether.
Some media reported that Eli Lilly gave Old Lamp over 130,000 US Dollars, while President Jinmao received nothing.
Considering all of the above…
Zhou Mo Sen laughed.
Next, let's smuggle insulin!
Actually, there have been quite a few people smuggling insulin to the US.
But Zhou Mo Sen currently has an excellent cover-up tactic.
It's that 'dream'!
I can sell affordable insulin under the pretense of researching cures for diabetes!
Of course, not as part of our experiments, but what if there's a black market selling cheap insulin near our research institute?
That has nothing to do with our research.
Many patients indeed come to our institute and buy it themselves from the surrounding black markets; how can we be blamed for that?
Yes, Huang Wanhao's company is merely a beacon, attracting diabetic patients.
In fact, this is somewhat based on real events.
Zhou Mo Sen remembers that later here in the US, didn't marijuana become legal, and there were even official injection sites for such substances?
Do you know what the surroundings of these 'sites' are like?
The whole street has turned into a black market 'hall'!
Selling insulin is about saving people!
Am I not the American version of the 'Medicine God'?
Do I, Zhou Mo Sen, want to become America's Medicine God?
Whether I'm a god or not doesn't matter; what matters is kindness, selling at half price.
