Chapter 203: 124, netting several hundred million? Chen Shanhe’s dark history!_5

This…

This is probably not just a matter of having a traitor!

Who exactly are these people? What are they really after by doing this?

While Chen Shanhe pondered these questions in the dark, Lin Mo narrated two seemingly unrelated incidents from years ago.

The first incident involved Chen Wenbin of Whale Biopharmaceuticals Company, who is also Chen Shanhe’s uncle. After many years of research and development, he finally created a special medication for treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The name of the medication was—Imatinib Mesylate Tablets.

However,

not long after the successful development, Chen Wenbin and his research team went out on a trip and encountered an accident. Exceptionally, they all perished in a blaze of fire.

Not long after that, Chen Wenbin’s daughter also died from gas poisoning in her own home.

The official explanation was that the incidents were accidents, and no further investigation was conducted.

In the end, both the company and the drug formula fell into the hands of the company’s vice president, who inflated the selling price from 200 yuan per tablet to 800 yuan per tablet by the time it hit the market.

And that vice president was also one of Chen Shanhe’s subordinates.

For many years, numerous leukemia patients, desperate to stay alive, were forced to accept the exorbitant drug prices, eventually reduced to selling their homes and cars and becoming homeless in tragic circumstances.

Medications have research and development costs, and indeed they are very high, so it’s understandable to sell a bit more expensively at first to break even.

But the key issue is that the real developer of the medication was Chen Shanhe’s uncle Chen Wenbin, only to end up in Chen Shanhe’s hands in the end.

In his quest for complete ownership of Whale Biopharmaceuticals, he went so far as to ruthlessly murder his own uncle.

That was the first major act Chen Shanhe carried out after his rise to success.

Later, a patient named Lu Minxiong discovered similar low-cost medication abroad, with exactly the same efficacy, but priced at only 50 yuan per tablet.

For his own survival and to save a little money for himself and other patients, every time Lu Minxiong went overseas, he would bring back medication at cost price for other sufferers.

His reputation grew, and more and more patients sought his help in obtaining medication.

Such actions naturally enraged the then-thriving Chen Shanhe, who was making a fortune from selling life-saving drugs.

If he dared to kill his own uncle, what’s to stop him from killing a counterfeit drug dealer?

Moreover, to deter other patients, Chen Shanhe spared no expense in using connections to sentence Lu Minxiong to life imprisonment, to languish in prison for the rest of his life, waiting for death by the torment of illness.

And even more diabolically, after completely monopolizing the market, Chen Shanhe began reducing the proportion of active ingredients in the medication, forcing patients to increase their dosage to maintain the same level of efficacy as before.

As for the price, it didn’t drop a penny.

After narrating all this, Lin Mo took a deep breath and looked straight into Chen Shanhe’s eyes, saying, “Old Mr. Chen, you’ve been selling the medication for so many years and have made so much money. Now, it’s time to give the patients a break, isn’t it?”

“So… you still have 48 hours. The Abyss Organization demands that you reduce the price of all relevant special medications to 50 yuan per tablet, and also increase the active ingredient content back to the original standard.”

So it was this matter!

Chen Shanhe had many investment projects under him, but the most profitable was this special medication for leukemia.

If he really complied with the Abyss Organization’s demands, he would lose at least tens of billions each year!

Not just a one-time loss, but an ongoing one every year.

He might look incredibly wealthy, but he had many people to support. Losing billions at once was one thing, but a continuous loss like this was something even he had to consider.

Moreover, the pharmaceutical company wasn’t entirely his; it involved some other powerful figures as well.

There were even two prominent figures from the Imperial Capital whom Chen Shanhe wouldn’t dare to offend lightly.

If he gave up that portion of the profit, then the money to support those two influential figures from the Imperial Capital would have to come out of his own pocket.

This condition… he couldn’t agree to!

Chen Shanhe frowned and clenched his teeth secretly before saying in a deep voice, “This is impossible. Since you know so much, you should also know that I’m not the only one who makes decisions about the pharmaceutical company. Besides, changing drug prices is a very troublesome matter, requiring approval and permission from the relevant departments. In the meantime…”

“Alright.”

Lin Mo interrupted Chen Shanhe’s words, speaking calmly, “Elder Chen, I hope you understand something. The Abyss is not here to discuss with you but to see the final results… Don’t make excuses to the Abyss; the Abyss doesn’t want to hear them.”

“Of course, you can also give up this opportunity to clean Chen Kainan’s slate of sins. It’s your choice; the Abyss Organization never forces anyone.”

“As an old friend who has cooperated before, I can offer you a little advice here: ha ha, Elder Mr. Chen, you’d better do as the Abyss Organization asks, or you might find yourself in an even more unfavorable situation.”

“Now… the 48-hour countdown begins.”

Having said that, Lin Mo didn’t give Chen Shanhe a chance to speak and hung up the video call!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo stretched leisurely, his bones crackling loudly.
