Dubai, in a luxurious palace.
Salman is a prince from a desert country. Although he is unlikely to inherit the throne because he is ranked lower, he still has a considerable net worth.
He is only 20 years old this year, and his daily life is extremely boring, except for eating, drinking and having fun.
The garage was full of luxuries such as luxury sports cars, but he rarely drove them, and most of the time they just sat there collecting dust.
He could not participate in the activities such as horse riding, playing ball, surfing, etc. that the other princes were passionate about, and could only watch enviously from the side.
As for traveling around the world to enjoy life, it has never had anything to do with him.
All this is because he has a rare genetic disease - thalassemia since he was a child.
Thalassemia is a chromosomal single-gene genetic disease. The pathogenesis is the mutation or deletion of genes that regulate globin synthesis on chromosomes 11 and 16, resulting in a large number of ineffective red blood cell production, eventually leading to hemolytic anemia.
This disease is generally prevalent in Southeast Asia, desert peninsulas, northern Philippines and other regions. Symptoms can be divided into severe, medium and mild.
Mild forms are generally asymptomatic, while most medium forms can survive to adulthood, while severe forms are generally more common in children and are prone to death.
Salman's condition is of a medium type, with no abnormalities visible at birth and various symptoms appearing only after a few years.
Since he was not short of money, he was able to get the best medical care, so he survived to adulthood without any danger.
However, his skin has been pale all year round, he has been in a state of fatigue for a long time, and he has shortness of breath at the slightest movement, so he can only rest.
Since the royal family of the desert country always has incest marriages, even if premarital examinations can be carried out in advance, hereditary diseases are still unavoidable.
Salman was a poor man who slipped through the net. He had to receive blood transfusions and iron removers since he was a child. Over a long period of time, his body has been very weak, and he finally survived to adulthood.
He thought he would live like this forever, but just last month, his peaceful life was broken.
His disease suddenly began to worsen, and the frequency of blood transfusions increased significantly. Due to long-term blood transfusions, more and more iron was deposited in the liver, spleen and other organs, causing functional failure of these organs. If it continued to worsen, he was extremely likely to die. Might not live for more than a few years.
In this case, the royal family’s personal doctor recommended bone marrow stem cell transplantation, which is currently the only clinical way to cure the disease.
However, due to many problems such as matching and marrow source limitations, low homologous recombination rate, and high risks in transplantation, this plan has been unable to be implemented.
The expression on Salman's pale face became increasingly melancholy. He was only twenty years old. Even if his current life was boring and boring, and he could only raise lions in the palace and wipe dust on the sports cars in the garage, he still wanted to continue. I definitely don’t want to die so young and young.
He also consulted experts from Eagle Country, and all of them had a bone marrow stem cell transplant, and no one could give him a guarantee of a cure. No one could even guarantee that the transplant would be 100% successful.
How could he accept such a result?
He is still very young, his life has just begun, he still has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the beauty of this world has just begun to wave to him.
However, in the face of disease, everyone is equal, and no amount of money is of any use.
Just when he fell into despair, his personal doctor told him that gene therapy could completely cure his disease.
In terms of gene therapy, the one with the most cutting-edge technology is an Oriental pharmaceutical company called Sanqing.
As long as hematopoietic stem cells are isolated from his body, gene editing is performed at specific gene sites in the hematopoietic stem cells through CRISPR gene editing technology, and then the gene-edited hematopoietic stem cells are injected into the body to bring his own hemoglobin level to the normal range. Completely get rid of dependence on blood transfusions and restore him to health.
Not only to restore health, but also to allow him to be a normal person, a normal person like his twenty-odd brothers and sisters.
Normal people who can ride horses on the grasslands, race cars in the city, and surf in the ocean.
All this made his heart skip a beat, as if he had grasped the last straw.
However, he was still a little hesitant: "Doctor, is it too late for me to go to the East to find this pharmaceutical company? Drug development will take a long time. Will it be possible that by the time the genetic drug is developed, I will no longer be able to use it?"
The personal doctor explained: "Dear prince, this company has the world's top geneticists and pharmaceutical experts. They develop drugs at an extremely fast speed. They will not let you down."
"By the way, this pharmaceutical company has also developed anti-cancer drugs and drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease."
"If there is anyone in this world who can save your life, it must be Sanqing."
Salman was stunned. Is this pharmaceutical company so powerful?
So he took out his mobile phone and called his dear eldest brother, Crown Prince Mohammed.
"Brother, do you know Dongfang Sanqing Pharmaceutical? I heard it is a very impressive company?"
Crown Prince Mohammad was startled and nodded: "Dear brother, long time no see. You are right. Sanqing Pharmaceutical is indeed very powerful, and its strength is one of the best in the world. Do you know about the recent locust plague? Global experts There was no other way, and we relied on Sanqing’s insecticides to completely solve the problem.”
"That's great. In this way, my illness can be cured."
Crown Prince Mohammed frowned: "What's the matter, dear brother, isn't your disease a hereditary disease? Many doctors told me that there is no way."
Salman excitedly told the crown prince's brother the doctor's advice.
Mohammad laughed and said: "Great, I'm really happy for you, so be it. I heard that two executives from Sanqing Pharmaceutical are coming to Dubai soon. I will warmly entertain them. You can ask in person at the banquet."
Salman thanked him profusely.
After hanging up the phone, Mohammad fell into deep thought. He suddenly remembered that Salman was not the only patient in the royal family.
In addition to members of the royal family, there are also many thalassemia patients in the upper class of the desert country. In addition, there are also some people suffering from cancer. In the past, they would go to the Eagle Country for treatment, but now there seems to be a new choice.
Three days later, a grand banquet was being held in a magnificent palace in Dubai.
The entire high society of the desert country was present, but there were only two guests.
It was Sun Chengren and Gu Xian who had just finished their trip to the Philippines.
They were surrounded by a group of bearded people wearing white turbans in the center, and they were almost flattered.
After dinner, Salman, who was sitting next to him, couldn’t wait to start asking questions.
"Dear guest, I have been longing for Sanqing Pharmaceutical for a long time, and I have a question I would like to ask."
"I am a patient with thalassemia. My condition has become more and more serious recently. My personal doctor recommended your company's genetic medicine to me for treatment. Do you have any drugs developed for this disease?"
Sun Chengren was a little surprised. He finally understood why the desert country was so enthusiastic about his group. It turned out that he was also eyeing genetic drugs like the Philippine dignitaries.
At the moment, he pondered for a moment and immediately started talking.
"Your Highness, it is indeed true. Since the last global gene conference, our genetic laboratory has put thalassemia on the drug development list. Although this is also a rare disease, there are many patients. It’s such a huge market that we certainly can’t let it go.”
"Of course, this drug is currently under research and development. You should know that drug research and development is a time-consuming and huge investment, so I can't say when it will be launched."
Salman immediately asked: "It doesn't matter, I can pay for it. I can fund whatever R&D expenses you need. Is ten million dollars enough to buy a drug? If it's not enough, I can add more."
Gu Xian, who was listening in, couldn't help but trembling with his hands. The Desert Prince was indeed extremely rich, with a genetic medicine worth ten million dollars. Unexpectedly, Sanqing also had sky-high price medicines, and actually said that he could continue to add more money. This was not a gift. Are you going to be slaughtered at your door?
But this also shows that Prince Salman is really panicked.
Anyone who knows that he has only a few years to live will be panicked.
If you die, what's the use of leaving more money?
Salman is not the richest among the princes of the Desert King. He only has a net worth of a few hundred million dollars. If he can really save lives, he will be willing to pay even hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, Sun Chengren was not frightened by this figure. After negotiating a large order of US$6 billion, he could no longer be moved by figures in the tens of millions.
His expression was calm and he smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness seems to be really sincere. In this case, I can tell you a story, and you will know Sanqing's style of doing things."
He recounted the story of Cao Yang coming to ask for genetic medicine, and finally concluded.
"You can rest assured that Sanqing will always meet the patients' requirements to the greatest extent, especially for a generous person like you. We will definitely develop a genetic drug to treat thalassemia for you and cure your disease as soon as possible. sick."
Salman was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "That's great. Money is not a problem for me anyway, the sooner the better."
"Your Highness, don't worry. I will contact the headquarters tonight and let them prepare. You can go to China at any time to do some tests in advance and then accelerate the development of genetic drugs for you."
Salman smiled with satisfaction, his eyes filled with hope.
He planned to follow these two Sanqing executives to China to try to get treatment as soon as possible.
For some time to come, he will live in the city where Sanqing is located and will not go anywhere until he is cured.
At this time, a fat middle-aged man squeezed over and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, are you going back to China with these two gentlemen for medical treatment?"
Salman recognized the man as a government official and nodded in acknowledgment.
The fat man said with a face of surprise: "That's great. I was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. I heard that Sanqing's anti-cancer drugs are very effective. Can I go to China with you for treatment?"
Salman waved his hand very generously and said: "No problem."
He turned to Sun Chengren and asked with a smile: "Mr. Sun, I don't know when you will return to China. I will charter a private jet with you and take everyone who wants to go to China to see a doctor."
The fat man cheered in surprise, which immediately attracted more patients who wanted to go with him.
Sun Chengren immediately became the focus of the audience. He had a great conversation with everyone present that night, and almost captured the entire upper echelon of the Desert Country.
The next day, Sun Chengren began follow-up work in Dubai. Thanks to the full support of the royal family and officials, everything went smoothly and the task was completed in just one week.
After leaving a few employees to handle follow-up business, he and Gu Xian arrived on Prince Salman's chartered flight.
The two of them returned to China with a whole group of desert tycoon patients.
Wei Kang was also shocked when he got the news.
The desert tycoon's medical treatment was indeed extraordinary, and he readily agreed to Prince Salman's request.
Genetic laboratories quickly launched a battle against genetic drugs for thalassemia.
Meanwhile, Salman stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Queens.
He very arrogantly booked the entire two floors and all the suites. In addition to the patients who were traveling with him, there were also his entourage and security team.
He lives in the presidential suite and waits for the good news of Sanqing every day.
However, he would also go out for a wander when he had time, and visited the nearby Suzhou City, Hangzhou City, and Haishi City.
He heard that China was very safe, so he was very relieved. He only took a few bodyguards with him when he went out. He did not ride in a bulletproof car, and the bodyguards did not hold guns.
The bodyguards also feel relieved. Guns are banned in the East, so they don't have to worry about being shot.
There was no way anyone could get through the blockade of these burly men, or even hurt His Highness with bare hands.
Other patients in the same group went to Kunming First People's Hospital for medical treatment at their own expense.
They were full of praise for the doctors in China, who were very professional and quickly formulated a treatment plan, which was no worse than that of Eagle Country.
The anti-cancer drugs here are also very cheap for them, and they can also use special painkillers that are not available in Eagle Country. The experience couldn't be better.
And you can also buy many other Sanqing products, such as weight loss pills, male contraceptive pills, and even anti-hangover pills.
The desert tycoons seemed to have discovered a new world, their eyes lit up when they looked at the hangover medicine.
All countries on the desert peninsula prohibit alcohol. Although everyone secretly drinks alcohol in private, if they are discovered, they will be punished.
If you have anti-alcohol medicine, take one after drinking to quickly relieve the hangover and prevent being discovered by the police.
As a result, hangover medicine instantly became the most popular souvenir in China.
The appearance of so many white turbans in Kunming naturally attracted the attention of the media.
Soon, reporters came to interview and learned about the desert country's group medical treatment. At the same time, they also obtained first-hand information on the use of Sanqing insecticide to kill the global locust plague.
They were instantly excited. This was big news, eye-catching enough, and it could also inspire people's national pride. In short, it was very positive energy.
Report after report was released quickly and was quickly forwarded by Internet influencers.
"Shocked, it was him who brought an end to the global locust plague."
"He punched DuPont and kicked Bayer, ending a natural disaster that the whole world was helpless to do anything about."
"Desert tycoons organized a group to go to China to see a doctor and spent a lot of money to get medicine."
"Sanqing develops tens of millions of US dollars worth of drugs. Will the dragon slayer eventually become an evil dragon?"
"Great Country Medicine, a brief discussion of the rise of the Three Pure dynasties."
Netizens were really excited to see it.
"The Sanqing Dynasty is awesome. An insecticide has attracted the admiration of all the people, and all the countries come to court!"
"Wow, it's so majestic to show off the prestige of our country!"
"Wow, from wealthy countries, I used to go to the Cleveland Clinic in Eagle Country for medical treatment. I didn't expect that now I come to China."
"This wave of Eagle-chan is going to cry. Sanqing actually stole the crystal with the help of insecticide."
"I never expected that I would be treated in the same municipal hospital as the prince of the Desert King. The world is changing so fast."
"Bah, what kind of dragon slayer turns into an evil dragon? This old Beijing News must be too malicious towards the Sanqing Dynasty."
"It's clearly stated in the news that tens of millions of dollars are research and development expenses sponsored by the prince. Is it possible to have someone develop a new drug specifically for you without adding a lot of money?"
“We are lucky to be in the same era as pharmaceutical companies like Sanqing.”
"@Caoyang, brother, the clinical quota for your genetic medicine was given away for free. It saved 100 million."
"Sanqing really has nothing to say about our own people. It is an absolutely conscientious enterprise."
