I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Because the epidemic first broke out from the Fulani people, various rumors against the Fulani people began to circulate. This is what happened every time there was an epidemic of infectious disease in history.

There are various tribes living in this land. To outsiders, they are all black skin, curly hair, protruding lips, and straight buttocks. They would think that they are all the same ethnic group.

In fact, the entire Sierra Leone has a population of only 6 million, but there are more than a dozen races, and the races are divided into various tribes. Before the emergence of the country, the relationships between these tribes were complicated, sometimes they were friends and sometimes enemies. But in the final analysis, the fundamental interest of a tribe is survival. When a neighbouring tribe develops a fatal infectious disease, the most instinctive reaction is to block oneself, and at the same time block the other party, letting the other party use his life alone to fill the plague's blood bowl.

At this time, in order to mobilize or restrain the people of their own tribe, there will be all kinds of incredible rumors. When people take a break under the tree, these rumors become the best sources of talk.

The tribe of Betis has done similar things countless times in history. Feng Shui took turns, this time her tribe was cut off.

Moreover, the Marburg virus is the most terrible virus that goes hand in hand with the Ebola virus. No matter how optimistic, no matter how great people are, they dare not take it lightly. Therefore, this time the rumors and isolation were particularly severe, and the Fulani were completely isolated.

To make matters worse, the Fulani people, like the surrounding tribes, do not have the habit of storing food, nor do they have this condition. As long as there is no food supply for a few days, a food crisis will occur. At that time, if you have not been poisoned by the virus, you will also starve to death.

The government is not ignorant of this crisis, but the government's actions are almost the same as those of the tribes. Block the Fulani people, let them use flesh and blood to satisfy the swallowing of the virus, and then everything will pass.

Humanitarian crisis? What does not exist, if you don’t see it, then it doesn’t exist.

Betis saw this and asked for help everywhere, but no one took care of it. Even Augustine, who had just completed the transaction, refused her help.

In desperation, Betis had to ask Chen Ling for help again. What does she want Chen Ling to do?

"Brother Zero, Betis didn't say anything specifically, just ask you to help them." Liu Ya said, "They seem to be miserable. Can you help them?"

Chen Ling sighed and said, "Do you think I can do anything? Liu Ya, I can't do anything! There is no cure for the Marburg virus. Doctors can only focus on the symptoms of the patient and try their best to maintain the life of the patient, relying on the patient. Come here by yourself..."

"Brother Zero, how do you know this? What about the Fulani people?" Liu Ya asked.

"Liu Ya, tell Betis to take several measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic. The first is to isolate the patient and not close contact; the second is to wear a mask or scarf when taking care of the patient, and do not touch any body fluids of the patient; The third one, people who died of illness, were burned immediately..." Chen Ling said very carefully. He can only help Betis here. Chen Ling doesn't want to go to the area where the Marlborough virus is raging, even if there is system protection.

Liu Ya repeated the question just now: "Brother Zero, how do you know this?"

"Liu Ya, don't worry about so much, come to Abidjan!" Chen Ling said, "I will arrange for Abin and Bill to purchase a batch of grain and give it to the Fulani representatives in Freetown, and let them deliver it by themselves. Go to the Kono area. After the matter is finished, Abin and Bill lead the people to evacuate immediately and wait for me in Bamako."

"Well, I will tell Betis. Tomorrow I will fly to Abidjan." Liu Ya said, temporarily suppressing the doubt in her heart.

Putting down the phone, Chen Ling sat on the hospital bed, silent.

He saw the power of the Marburg virus with his own eyes, and his security system faced the Marburg virus as an enemy, so Chen Ling didn't want to face it again.

Fortunately, Chen Ling survived by relying on the system and saved Charlotte. However, even if the blood flowing on Chen Ling's body was drained, it would not be enough for a few patients, not to mention that it might not be able to be saved. Dr. Shire said that this approach may or may not be effective.

It's not not saving, but powerlessness!

In Africa, hundreds of thousands of people die from malaria every year, far exceeding the deaths caused by Ebola and Marburg viruses. Malaria is a curable disease. There are many kinds of specialized medicines, and the cost is not expensive. There are many humanitarian organizations that treat people with malaria free of charge. However, for so many years, the number of deaths due to malaria has remained high.

Why is this happening? It's still because I'm too behind! If you are behind you will be beaten, and you will be bullied by disease!

In Africa, agriculture is backward and industry is backward, so everything is backward. There are also rich countries, but rich countries are just because they have some resources to sell. Agricultural products and industrial products rely on imports. Once the resources are sold out, or the price of resources drops , The rich countries are also unsustainable.

What Chen Ling couldn't understand is that this fertile land of Africa has all the resources needed for development, so why is it so backward? And is not behind for a while, but always so behind?

...

The next day, after the last test, Chen Ling was discharged from the hospital. Charles and Margaret were standing in the clinic’s large courtyard, and a row of medical staff stood behind them, applauding to celebrate Chen Ling’s recovery.

A nurse gave Chen Ling a bouquet of flowers, and Dr. Charles opened a bottle of authentic French champagne and poured a glass for everyone.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for his recovery! Congratulations on our victory over the Marburg virus!"

Everyone raised their cups high, and the golden liquid swayed in the crystal clear cups, reflecting the morning sun, and spilling on everyone's joyful faces.

"Thanks to Dr. Charles, Dr. Margaret, and to all the doctors and nurses in the clinic!" Chen Ling clinked glasses with everyone.

The cheers rippled through the yard of the clinic and reached the fourth ward. Charlotte on the hospital bed closed her eyes, but there was a slight smile on her mouth.

She knew that the dark nightmare was about to end. It was the doctor of the clinic, and it was Chen Ling who pulled herself back from the door of hell.

Wait for me, Brother Zero, I will be able to cheer and win with you in two days!

In the yard, Dr. Shire and Chen Ling walked aside to talk.

Dr. Charles gently held the champagne glass and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you very much for your generosity. With your donation, we are very hopeful that we will develop a vaccine for Marburg virus. We will no longer be helpless against filovirus. Your donation will save countless lives."

Chen Ling smiled and said: "I just heard that there is a little blood, and I happen to have this kind of blood. I think anyone who happens to have this kind of blood will be happy to provide it."

Dr. Shire looked at Chen Ling and said, "Has Mr. Chen ever thought about the economic benefits of this?"

"How do you say?" Chen Ling asked, "Are there any economic benefits here?"

Dr. Shire explained: "If we develop a vaccine, we will definitely register a patent. During the patent period, wealth will roll in."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Can a vaccine be developed so quickly?"

"The whole process will take one or two years. However, I can say with certainty that this will be the only one in the world, so as long as the filovirus still exists in this world, someone will buy a vaccine to save lives. During the patent period, every vaccine is money."

"Oh, it looks good, it's a good thing for fame and fortune. Do you want to pay me dividends?" Chen Ling asked with a smile.

Dr. Charles smiled, greeted his lover, and said, "Mr. Chen agreed."

"Ding—" Doctor Margaret touched Chen Ling's glass and said, "Thank you Mr. Chen!"

"What did I agree to?" Chen Ling didn't understand what the couple wanted to do.

Dr. Shire said: "Using the blood you provide, we will work with a pharmaceutical company to develop a vaccine for Marburg virus. As a donor, you will receive a dividend of the vaccine proceeds."

Chen Ling shook his head and said: "I just donated a little blood. The development of vaccines requires a lot of funds. Whoever invests will benefit."

"Mr. Chen!" said Dr. Margaret, "I just said thank you for giving us the opportunity to make a fortune. If you don't participate in the dividend, we will only publish the results of this research, and will not go. Research and develop vaccines. Therefore, your participation in dividends will lead us to make a fortune and benefit the patients."

Chen Ling was puzzled: "What's the reason for this?"

"Because your 100 ml of blood is unique, worth at least $1 million!" Dr. Charles laughed, "We can't be greedy for ink!"

"Developing vaccines requires a lot of money, who invests?"

Dr. Margaret said: "As long as we publish the results of the research, many pharmaceutical companies will be willing to invest."

Chen Ling thought for a while, took the initiative to clink glasses with the couple, and said, "In this case, let's do it! Cheers!"

The three drank all in one fell swoop.

"Hi, Charles, I must have missed the most exciting moment!" Someone walked into the compound of the clinic and greeted Dr. Charles intimately.
