Chapter 951: I’m making my move

They went to the website. When they found that medicine, this pair of young parents were elated. But when they saw the price, they instantly choked.

A box of medicine that was supposed to cost just over 70 had inflated to 3800 dollars.

To them, this was too expensive. With their combined salary of about 6000 a month, how could they afford it? But for their child, they could only bite the bullet and buy it.

However, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something wasn’t right. This medicine was clearly available on the website, so why did the big hospital not have any of it? What was the hidden reason behind this?

When met with such a situation, they could only look for reporters and hope to shine a light on the matter.

The next day!

Lin Fan was lying on the chair in the shop, muttering in his heart. Why isn’t my student here yet? Could it be that he has sensed something?

But just as he thought of that, a figure appeared.

“Teacher…”

“Sigh!” Lin Fan sighed. It seemed that he would have to keep delaying it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to take it.

“Teacher, when will we start developing the prescription?” asked Zhao Ming Qing excitedly. Clearly, he hadn’t sensed that something was wrong with the situation.

“About that…” Lin Fan was in a tough spot. This disciple of his was really unyielding. However, he couldn’t say it too bluntly. He had to protect his own image.

Just as Lin Fan was about to make up an excuse, Wu You Lan shouted, “Brother Lin, where do you think this medicine should be bought?”

“What?” Lin Fan was startled. He didn’t understand the question.

Wu You Lan brought her phone over. “Brother Lin, look at this Weibo post. Someone is requesting help. They want to buy ACTH for injection purposes. And the news even says that this medicine that’s worth over 70 dollars is being sold for thousands of dollars. That’s really expensive!”

Lin Fan took the phone and looked closely. There were no problems stated in the Weibo post.

But those reporters had reported quite a lot about the matter and the news had even appeared on the Internet.

There was one thing that made him suspicious.

And that was the conversation between the buyer and the black market website’s merchant.

‘How much do you want to buy? And which hospital told you to come here?’

‘We don’t have much stock here either. You have to produce your medical records and doctor’s prescription.’

This was rather interesting.

After contemplation, Lin Fan felt that there were quite a lot of problems with this. It was quite interesting.

As Zhao Ming Qing looked from the side, his expression turned grave. “Teacher, look. This kind of situation is too common.”

Lin Fan didn’t say much. He then continued reading the news. The reporters had contacted the manufacturer to ask for a reason. The manufacturer denied that they had increased the price to 3800 dollars, saying that it wasn’t possible.

However, the website was clearly selling it for 3800 dollars. Hence, this situation was really peculiar.

“They’re stockpiling!” Lin Fan exclaimed.

Zhao Ming Qing nodded. “This is a very common situation. Some types of medicine aren’t produced in large quantities and the amount on the market is rather small. But for some illnesses, these medications have to be used. Hence, people can stockpile the medicine and create a scarcity of that medicine, then sell it for a high price.”

*Ding ding!*

Just as Lin Fan was reading the news, he realized that someone had tagged him in a post. Taking a closer look, it was the person who wanted to buy the medicine. The person had found Lin Fan and wanted to ask him for help.

As for this cry for help, Lin Fan definitely wouldn’t reject it. After all, he was someone who loved to get involved in other people’s business.

Then, he did a search for this medicine on the Internet. He searched for its effects as well as the composition of the medicine.

He reckoned that developing this medicine wouldn’t be too difficult.

He brainstormed for a moment and thought of a good idea.

“Ming Qing, do you have any thoughts about this issue?” Lin Fan asked calmly.

Zhao Ming Qing nodded. “It’s despicable.”

Lin Fan prompted, “And?”

Zhao Ming Qing was a little stunned. Besides it being despicable, he hadn’t thought of anything else. What else was there? Then, he asked, “Teacher, what do you think then?”

Lin Fan cleared his throat. “See here, Ming Qing. When we develop new prescriptions, we can’t do it blindly. Look at this situation. Isn’t it a very good example? We can develop a prescription for this. This is what is needed the most right now.”

“Although developing it will be very tiring, someone needs our help now. We have to step forward and help.”

When Zhao Ming Qing heard his teacher’s words, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new piece of land. “Teacher, what you said makes a lot of sense.”

“Then shall we develop this?”

Lin Fan nodded. “Mmm, that’s what I’m thinking. What do you think?”

To Zhao Ming Qing, it didn’t matter what they were developing. As long as it was related to medicine, he was very interested.

This prescription was not difficult at all. With Lin Fan’s abilities, all he had to do was brainstorm a little and he would already have a solution. It was very simple.

But in front of Zhao Ming Qing, he couldn’t show that it was too simple. He had to make him feel that this was a very difficult task.

Because only in this way could he satisfy Zhao Ming Qing for a period of time.

“Alright, Teacher, I agree with you. Let’s develop this prescription and put an end to the monopoly of the market. This is an evil price. For a medicine that is worth 70 dollars to be sold for close to 4000, it is the same as robbery,” said Zhao Ming Qing resentfully.

Looking at Zhao Ming Qing, Lin Fan let out a breath of relief. The problem had finally been resolved.

We can research and develop new prescriptions but we can’t just keep developing prescriptions for major diseases. Wouldn’t that make me die of fatigue?

This kind of situation is perfect. I just have to do a bit of work and it’ll be resolved. This is great!

But this matter isn’t over yet. Before we start researching, I have to make a Weibo post.

People’s Hospital.

That young couple was looking at their child who was sound asleep. They couldn’t help but sigh.

Suddenly, their phone vibrated. They took a look curiously and their expressions instantly changed.

Because they saw that Master Lin had tagged them and given them a reply.

Lin Fan: @IamLittleFattyHuang, I’ve seen the news about you. I’ve decided to develop a prescription for you that will be even more effective against infantile spasms. Wait for me patiently. Also, I’d like to advise the stockpilers to quickly lower their prices. Don’t wait until the end when you won’t be able to sell your goods anymore. When that happens, don’t look for me for help.”

When this Weibo was posted, everyone on Weibo went crazy.

“D*mn! Is Master Lin personally making a move?”

“The Medicine King who has been dormant for a long time is finally emerging again. Let the countless immoral pharmacies feel the wrath of Master Lin!”

“Let’s start a bet. How long will it take to develop the medicine? Within three days, 100 to 1. Within ten days, 10 to 1.”

“^Give me the money first.”

“Haha, this is great news. I love it when Master Lin does big things. I wonder what the stockpilers will think when they see this news.”
