Chapter 150: This is Possible!
It is well known that the main cost of vaccines is research and development, while manufacturing costs are not very high, but the vaccination price of imported HPV vaccines has remained high, allowing the United States' Merck & Co. pharmaceutical company to earn over 5 billion US dollars annually from worldwide exports.
HPV vaccines are a worldwide export bestseller, this is a huge business!
The most important thing is to break the United States' monopoly; localizing HPV vaccines would be fantastic, after all, the feeling of being choked is too uncomfortable.
The System prompt sound that rang out in Lin Lang's mind was like the crisp sound of gold coins clinking.
That evening.
Shanghai Grand Hotel.
"Hello~ Mr. Lin!"
As soon as Lin Lang walked into the hotel's private room, Miss Wang Yuyan, who was breathtakingly beautiful, took the initiative to shake hands and greet Lin Lang.
Holding Wang Yuyan's delicate hand, Lin Lang greeted her politely, "Hello, Yan Jie! Just call me A Lang!"
At the moment Lin Lang shook hands with Wang Yuyan, the System prompt sound echoed in Lin Lang's mind once again.
Ding! Omnipotent Entry System prompt: "Drug clinical trials are divided into Phase I, II, and III. The first two phases of clinical trials verify the drug's toxicity and dosage respectively and can be completed in about a year. The Phase III trial stage mainly verifies the drug's effectiveness, which takes a longer time. The United States' Merck & Co. HPV vaccine took 4 years to complete its Phase III clinical trial in Xia Country..."
The meaning of the System prompt is that Wang Yuyan will ultimately pass away from cervical cancer before the HPV vaccine is launched, because the HPV vaccine's cancer prevention rate is not 100%, and Wang Yuyan has already passed the optimal age for HPV vaccination; even if she gets the HPV vaccine, she will still contract cervical cancer and pass away.
Although Lin Lang is a transmigrator and can change many things.
But Wang Yuyan's fate of perishing like a fading flower has become a certainty, something Lin Lang cannot change; the Virgin Mary heart that had just ignited was extinguished by a basin of cold water.
"A Lang, I don't need to introduce this person to you, right?" Wang Yuyan smiled and looked at Cang Guoming.
Lin Lang transmigrated to the Millennium, and seeing the living Wang Yuyan was one thing, but he even had a dinner appointment with Cang Guoming; at this moment, he was both excited and felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.
"I have long admired Ming Ge's reputation, and it is a great honor to meet you today!" Lin Lang took the initiative to shake hands with Cang Guoming.
Holding Lin Lang's hand, Cang Guoming revealed his signature gentle smile and exchanged pleasantries, "Mr. Lin's piano performance was utterly perfect, a true audio-visual feast. It is very rare to see a pianist as young as you with such top-tier skills in Xia Country. Both A Yan and I greatly admire your talent!"
Lin Lang replied politely, "Ming Ge, you flatter me!"
It is well known that Cang Guoming is a publicly known gay man in the industry.
Ding! Omnipotent System prompt: "Currently, Mr. Cang Guoming and Chu Group President Chu Tiannan can become a pair of good friends!"
Lin Lang was startled in his heart after receiving the System prompt and secretly exclaimed, "Holy crap! The System means for me to play matchmaker and set up Cang Guoming and Chu Tiannan to be friends!"
"Let the tragic Chu Tiannan and Cang Guoming save each other and heal each other, how wonderful! Hehe..."
Before Lin Lang could think further, he heard Cang Guoming say gently and elegantly, "Mr. Lin, please sit down and chat!"
"Okay!" Lin Lang sat down on a dining chair, facing Cang Guoming and Wang Yuyan.
The waitress waiting at the side was already extremely excited because she saw big stars, and she said very nervously, "Three distinguished guests, this is our restaurant's menu, may I take your order now?"
Wang Yuyan replied, "Yes!"
"A Lang, judging by your accent, you're a Shanghai local. How about you recommend some of your Shanghai specialty dishes?"
Lin Lang took the menu and replied, "Okay!"
"Shanghai Boiled Chicken, Fengjing Pork Cubes, Chicken Bone Sauce, Songjiang Perch, Eight Treasures Spicy Sauce, Pickled Bamboo Shoots and Fresh Meat Soup, Stir-fried River Shrimp, Crab Shell Stuffed with Egg White..."
Lin Lang ordered a large table of representative Shanghai dishes, and two bottles of the most expensive imported red wine from Shanghai Grand Hotel. He was very generous, not stingy like some Shanghai men, but rather as open-hearted as a Northeast man.
Cang Guoming couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lin, you've ordered so many dishes, the three of us won't be able to finish them!"
Lin Lang replied with a smile, "Today I am fulfilling my duty as host, treating Ming Ge and Yan Jie. Shanghai dishes have small portions, so naturally, I should order a few more dishes so we can eat and drink well!"
Wang Yuyan, however, replied, "We agreed that I was inviting you, A Lang, for dinner, how can I let you pay! This meal must be on me!"
"Yan Jie, leaving things like paying the bill to men is fine!"
Wang Yuyan said with a smile, "I just like dealing with men from the mainland, they are more open-hearted than men from Hong Kong, hehe..."
Upon hearing this, Cang Guoming said, "A Yan, saying that, how can I, a Hong Kong man, feel?"
Wang Yuyan covered her mouth and laughed, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"
Cang Guoming teased, "You'll have to fine yourself a cup later!"
Wang Yuyan replied very generously, "Alright, alright! I'll fine myself a cup!"
"Yan Jie, this is a meeting gift Brother is giving you!" Lin Lang took out an A4 paper from his person and handed it to Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan took the A4 paper, unfolded it, and saw that it was the lyrics and music score for Lin Lang's original Cantonese pop song "Orphan". As soon as Wang Yuyan looked at the lyrics and music, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Wow~"
Wang Yuyan exclaimed, "A Lang, did you write this Cantonese song 'Orphan' originally for me to sing?"
Lin Lang replied generously, "Yes, it's the first time meeting Sister Yan, Brother can't come empty-handed, of course, I have to prepare a small gift!"
After hearing this, Wang Yuyan smiled very brightly and said happily, "A Lang, the lyrics and music of this song are amazing, you are truly talented!"
Lin Lang replied humbly and politely, "Yan Jie, you flatter me, as long as you like it!"
"A Lang, Sister Yan wasn't as thoughtful as you and forgot to prepare a meeting gift for you. Let me give you this diamond necklace as a return gift for remembrance." Wang Yuyan took off the necklace she was wearing around her neck and handed it to Lin Lang with a smile.
Lin Lang politely refused, "Yan Jie, you are too kind, I absolutely cannot accept this!"
Wang Yuyan, however, insisted, "If you don't accept it, are you implying that Sister Yan's return gift is of low value?"
Lin Lang explained, "Of course not, Yan Jie, your gift is small but carries deep meaning, how could I possibly dislike it?"
Wang Yuyan pushed the diamond necklace firmly into Lin Lang's hand and said with a smile, "Since you don't dislike it, then keep it. This is a souvenir from Sister Yan for you. It's worth you being so thoughtful and giving me a song upon our first meeting."
"Alright!" Lin Lang smiled brightly.
Cang Guoming leaned closer to Wang Yuyan, carefully looked at the lyrics and music of the Cantonese song "Orphan", couldn't help but hum a small section softly, and then exclaimed, "Mr. Lin, you are too talented!"
"This original song 'Orphan' you wrote is truly amazing!"
"This song will definitely sell big once it's released! Mr. Lin, you've given A Yan a big gift!"
Lin Lang replied modestly, "Ming Ge, you flatter me! I only have a slight understanding of songwriting and composing music, it's just a small humble work, not worth mentioning."
Wang Yuyan clapped her hands and said, "It sounds great, great! A Lang, you are too modest!"
"I originally thought you were just a pianist with peak skills, but I didn't expect you to be so good at songwriting and composing music too, it's truly not simple!"
Lin Lang smiled faintly after hearing this.
Cang Guoming said enviously and jokingly, "Mr. Lin is biased! Why did you only prepare a meeting gift for A Yan, but not for me?"
Lin Lang shrugged and said, "I'm very sorry, Ming Ge! I didn't know you were accompanying Sister Yan, so I only prepared a meeting gift for Sister Yan."
"To make up for my careless oversight, I will call now and invite the wealthy family tycoon Chu Tiannan from Shanghai to specially accompany Ming Ge for a drink. He is a famous financial backer among the tycoons in Shanghai."
"Chu Tiannan is the President of Chu Group. I will introduce him to Ming Ge and Sister Yan. From now on, if you hold concerts or similar events in Shanghai, Chu Group investing and undertaking them will be a piece of cake~"
"If there are any new movies that need investment, Chu Group can also strongly support them!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Guoming exclaimed, "The Shanghai Chu Family Consortium also has many hotels and industries in Hong Kong. I have heard a little about Chu Tiannan. Could it be that Mr. Lin has a very good relationship with the Chu Family Consortium?"
Lin Lang replied truthfully, "Chu Yiren, the Chairman of Chu Group, is my girlfriend. Chu Tiannan is considered my future Brother-in-Law."
"Whoa..."
Cang Guoming and Wang Yuyan exchanged glances after hearing this and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the same time.
Wang Yuyan said in astonishment, "I didn't expect your girlfriend, A Lang, to be Miss Chu Yiren, the famous beautiful tycoon of Shanghai! My apologies, my apologies!"
Cang Guoming said half-jokingly, "So A Yan and I are having dinner with the Chu Family Consortium's Son-in-Law. We truly 'had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai'!"
Lin Lang replied modestly, "Not at all, not at all! I wonder what Ming Ge thinks of my suggestion to call Chu Tiannan to accompany us for a drink?"
Cang Guoming replied with a smile, "Having a young master from a Shanghai tycoon family accompany us for a drink is such a face-saving matter, of course, it's good. What about you, A Yan?"
Wang Yuyan replied, "Okay! Expanding our connections in the mainland is always beneficial!"
A subtle, mischievous smile flickered across Lin Lang's face after hearing this.
