Chapter 1294: Chapter 1150: Undertaking Medical Insurance (Please Subscribe!)
"Today is mainly about this matter."
"I didn’t expect it to be accomplished so quickly."
"Thank you. I believe that under your leadership, this land will definitely gain the respect of the international community for its protection of intellectual property rights," Annesley said, placing the big hat squarely on.
"Pity."
"It doesn’t work on Ling."
"Maybe, once your pharmaceutical companies have sorted out all the evidence, go to Deputy Kan Qin. He’s in charge of this matter, and I’ll remind him to deal with it as quickly as possible," Ling said.
"He’s responsible for setting the tone."
"Kan Qin and the others are responsible for getting things done, with a clear division of labor."
"Okay, I wish you a pleasant afternoon. I won’t disturb you further," Annesley said as he stood up and smiled.
"Please."
"Ling escorted Annesley to the door."
"Just like that."
"Annesley left with a cheerful smile."
"Back in the car."
"He immediately called his boss’s phone and gave a detailed report about today’s events. Similarly, his boss also felt that Ling and the Myanmar Bank Group had some kind of disagreement, and Ling was warning them."
"It seems likely."
"With such huge interests at stake, it’s hard to ensure Ling’s subordinates don’t have their own agendas."
"Ling hardly ever takes a stand."
"But once he does."
"It’s serious."
"This isn’t a ploy. If he says to delist, it will definitely be carried out."
"Very well, inform those companies. As for the issue between Ling and Myanmar Bank, keep observing. We need the latest information. This matter came too suddenly, without any forewarning," the boss said with satisfaction.
"I’ll follow up and understand," Annesley nodded.
"Mm."
"Annesley had a feeling that something was amiss, but he really couldn’t figure out what sort of variables there could be. Could it be... that he always had trouble getting things done and suddenly achieving his goal had made him act foolishly?"
"It seemed."
"There really might be."
"Annesley shook his head vigorously, frustrated by the thought. Today had started well, and he believed other good things would follow. After waiting for so long, it was time for action on the other side."
"..."
"After Annesley left."
"Ling called Kan Qin in."
"Annesley came to me just now about some domestic patented medicines that are being produced in violation of regulations. I’ve promised him that within a month, all domestically suspected infringing patented medicines will be delisted. You’re responsible for following up on this," Ling said.
"Upon hearing this."
"Kan Qin almost couldn’t help but burst out laughing."
"This Annesley."
"Really was unfortunate. In charge of their country, he hadn’t managed to secure much for American interests and often ended up frustrated by Ling. It could be said that the deputies found it tremendously satisfying to watch."
"This time."
"He could imagine it."
"Annesley must have left smiling."
"However, if Annesley knew that they were already planning a comprehensive delisting of these medicines at the beginning of next month, he would probably cry. Ling was too bad, teasing Annesley once again."
"Regarding patented medicines."
"Of course, Kan Qin, who was in charge of the matter, didn’t want to pay a penny."
"Well, it’s all good now."
"The Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group was too damn efficient, developing a large number of alternative medicines, which can be said to perfectly circumvent the patents of those Western medicines and saving Myanmar a significant amount of foreign exchange expenses."
"At this moment."
"Most of the new medicines that were about to go public were in the final stages of clinical testing or had already passed, with very good results. He believed that these would become a major economic growth point and financial source for Myanmar in the future."
"Because the Myanmar Government held thirty percent of the shares in the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group, there was of course a price to pay: all the public hospitals under the Myanmar Government were integrated into this company."
"From now on."
"It would be responsible for the management, training, and operation of Myanmar’s main public medical institutions, and moreover, it must ensure the reduction of domestic medical costs, with any overspending from the specialized medical insurance funds to be borne by the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group."
"In other words."
"The Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group."
"Would take on Myanmar’s medical security system, making it impossible to siphon off medical insurance funds because there would only ever be so much available."
"If they wanted to make more money."
"They’d have to find ways to earn others’ money, which was the purpose of the company’s existence, as well as a trial. Kan Qin thought it was very good, at least in the future, there would be no need for finance to subsidize healthcare."
"Yes, I’ll proceed with the delisting plan for these medicines as scheduled. Should we notify Annesley in advance? Otherwise, it seems a bit harsh to play him like this."
"Kan Qin even felt a little sorry for Annesley."
Ling nodded.
"Then, two days before the official launch, find an opportunity to let him know that from now on, the United States is also one of our markets. We really can’t treat them like monkeys; even if monkeys don’t harm people, their constant screeching can still be bothersome."
Kan Qin: "..."
Ling really had guts.
To think of the American pharmaceutical giants as monkeys.
But that was Ling’s way.
"I understand," Kan Qin nodded, finding it much more refreshing to work with Ling than with Lang Cai. Money was never an issue, execution was not a problem, they did what they wanted without anyone hamstringing them.
The efficiency of the staff below had greatly improved under Ling’s management.
Comparatively speaking,
even with the same level of authority, he had no desire to return to the era of Lang Cai, because Ling’s ideology was more aligned with his own. Kan Qin cared about the future of Myanmar, not the future of Lang Cai.
Fortunately,
with such a dominant Ling, the integration of the country’s powers was swiftly accomplished.
Especially the military.
The speed of integration was astonishing.
From top to bottom, as far as he knew, Ling had inserted a large number of Myanmar-affiliated personnel into the ranks. Many of these people already held high positions in the Myanmar Economic Zone’s soldiers, so it was almost an even swap.
Now,
at least half of the former high-level commanders of the Myanmar Economic Zone were transferred into various military branches of Myanmar, taking up key positions. And the original personnel? Ling had arranged them properly, without sending too many of them away.
On the contrary, he had given them quite generous retirement pensions.
Every time he saw Ling,
Kan Qin couldn’t help but feel awe. As for his own intelligence, he could only look up, so he might as well be a good follower and not think about anything else. He believed that Ling was someone who had transcended the pursuit of worldly interests.
He,
would give this country a future that the people yearned for.
...
The next day,
Qingyuan Technology’s representation of ERV’s mobile game officially launched, which met a major demand of the ’Epoch’ users. In just ten minutes, the download count broke through two hundred thousand.
By the afternoon of that day,
it had generated over one million RMB in profits. The game was free, but the props were charged for, especially Happy Elimination, becoming a significant money-spinner. Tang Qing once again became known as the ’shrewd businessman’ in people’s mouths.
Tang Qing commented,
---I’m only the agent, direct your complaints at ERV.
At this moment,
the ’Epoch’s launch process in Europe and the United States was nearly finished.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating it.
In the United States,
with Qingyuan Technology paving the way with money,
the media started reporting widely,
sparking great interest among consumers. Now, ’Epoch’ was the only smartphone on the market. As for the others claiming to be smartphones—they didn’t recognize them. So without choice, everyone was waiting for the ’Epoch’ to launch in the United States.
Watching the ’Epoch’ sell like hotcakes on TV,
at Apple Headquarters,
Steve Jobs looked frustrated,
this level of success,
could have belonged to Apple, and this honor would have been Apple’s. But now, all that glory had been snatched away by Qingyuan Technology. Even if Apple released their next-generation phone, they still couldn’t change this fact.
In terms of innovation,
Tang Qing had gone too far.
Given the existing technology and costs, it was almost impossible for Apple to come up with something new. Design? After using large screens, how many would actually prefer smaller ones? The operating system was completely out of luck; they could only adopt ERV’s Sirius.
The chip was the same story.
Their in-house design was crushed to dust by Qualcomm’s new generation Xiao Long.
In order to rush to market,
he had no choice but to compromise.
And in terms of software,
it was hard to come up with any unique features.
Looking back at his own press conference, it now seemed like a joke, amusing the public. The mere thought made him blush with embarrassment. He heard that ERV’s smartphones were going to have a press conference next month, and another wolf was about to be unleashed.
The times,
how did they change so quickly?
