Chapter 779 Hao Yingliang's big move (1)

Chasing for escape is a very important task. Han Bo and his two returned to the embassy and immediately contacted the country to verify the situation explained by Chen Wei.

When South Africa adopts the East Second District, the bj time is East Eighth District, with a 6-hour time difference. The Fujian Provincial Public Security Department is in contact with it, and there will be no reply until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

After all this, the time for get off work is also up.

Han Bo and Li Xiaolei no longer stayed in dormitories and drove to a villa area not far from the embassy.

Most Chinese diplomats live in embassies and consulates. Diplomats in Western countries pay more attention to privacy and do not like to confuse work and life. They are used to renting houses outside embassies and consulates, and the government provides them with rental subsidies.

The villa area is full of diplomats, with strict security measures. Many diplomats take their families to take office, so there is a kindergarten with good conditions across the road and a primary school that can be called a noble school. It not only recruits children from diplomats from all over the world, but also many senior South African officials, South African wealthy and social wise men sent their children over to receive the best education.

As the motherland becomes stronger and stronger, the treatment of Chinese diplomats is much better than in previous years.

In the past, only an ambassador could take his family to take office. Now, as long as you are willing, you can "stay one person abroad and go abroad with the whole family."

Mr. Han, Mr. Li and Mr. Han, and Mr. Li wanted to bring Xiao Xuxu to visit relatives. He couldn't stay in the embassy, ​​so staying in the hotel was not very safe. Besides, he was not short of money. Li Xiaolei rented the sixth villa in the second row the day before yesterday, a beautiful three-story European-style western-style building. Not only was it planned to receive family members, but she was also planning to let Xiao Xuxu stay here to go to school.

I came yesterday, and I was in a hurry and didn't have time to visit my new home.

Han Bo opened the door, habitually checked the security system, looked back at the living room, followed his wife to climb up the second floor, pushed open a door, and couldn't help but smile: "Even there are bed sheets, I'll have a bag and check in, which is similar to a hotel!"

"Bedding is our own, but it's similar to moving in with a bag. The property owner said that the last tenant was a Swedish diplomat and he didn't take away a lot of things when he closed the rent." In order to purchase bed sheets, quilts and daily necessities, Li Xiaolei ran several times, glared at her husband who didn't care about the family affairs, and stuffed the items that he had not had time to organize when he came here at noon into the cabinet.

“Where is the kitchen?”

"The Swedes don't know how to cook, so they don't have the pots, pans and spoons we want to use, so they have to go to Joburg, buy some cooking utensils, and so on. "

There are also Chinese merchants in Pretoria, but they mainly do local businesses, and the seasonings needed for Chinese food are still a little more complete with Johannesburg Chinatown.

Han Bo squatted down and said while helping to clean up, "Buy more, so you can save yourself from running back and forth. If you have time, go and see Hao Yingliang and Du Qian."

"I thought you forgot them."

"Isn't this busy? By the way, have they called you?"

"I've played several times."

Li Xiaolei suddenly felt energetic and simply sat on the floor, leaning against the big bed and sighed: "I really can't afford to treat the disease without insurance in South Africa. Du Qian said that just registering is 1,000 rand, and then she did various examinations. After all the examinations, she was diagnosed and found that she had not prescribed a single pill and had not given an injection, which cost more than 300,000 yuan!"

"It's quite expensive, but this is mainly aimed at foreigners. South African citizens and people with residence rights do not need to go to private hospitals. They only need to issue a certificate of income when they go to public hospitals, and finally settle the settlement by the South African government."

"This aspect is indeed better than in China, although the medical conditions are not as good as those of private hospitals."

Li Xiaolei nodded and said vividly: "The last time I accompanied them, I saw how good the conditions and services of private hospitals are. I feel that they are not God, but God's father. The medical equipment is advanced and the medical level is also very high. There are anti-cancer drugs that have just been launched in the United States, as long as you have money."

There is a doctor in the embassy, ​​and a minor illness is taken to solve the problem of taking some medicine in the embassy.

If you suffer from a serious illness and buy a plane ticket to return to China for treatment, there is no need to spend this money in South Africa.

Han Bo didn't care about these things, he only cared about Hao Yingliang's condition: "The diagnosis has come out, what do the doctor say?"

"The doctor is a doctor of medicine who graduated from the University of Cape Town Medical School. I forgot what his name is. Anyway, his level is quite high and he is famous internationally. He recommends surgery, removal of lesion tissue, and combined with radiation therapy, and then use a new drug just developed in the United States."

The medical level in South Africa is indeed good. The world's first human heart transplant surgery was completed by South African doctor Barnard in 1967. It created history and set a precedent for human heart transplant surgery!

Although the patient who underwent the surgery died two weeks later, Barnard became famous for that surgery. In the following decades, he performed more than 70 heart transplants, accumulating a lot of valuable experience for similar surgeries in many countries around the world.

In terms of pharmaceuticals, South Africa is also remarkable.

Not only do we attach importance to the development of new drugs, but we also have a very clear attitude on the issue of whether patents are important or saving people.

In 2001, the South African government decided to implement the Drug Administration Act passed by former President Mandela in 1997. According to this law, the South African government has supreme power to ignore the patent rights of any pharmaceutical product, which means that South Africa can copy or import similar generic drugs with lower prices and similar efficacy as patented drugs.

At that time, 39 pharmaceutical companies, including GlensoSmithKline, the UK, which has the largest production of anti-AIDS drugs in the world, and 39 pharmaceutical companies such as Squibb and Merdot, believed that their patent rights had been infringed and negotiated with relevant South African authorities, demanding that the South African government order the production or import of such counterfeit products, otherwise they would sue them for infringement.

Who knew that the South African government gave them a powerful fight back, accusing them of insisting on the practice of not patenting, which was to stand by death and robbery, and put human lives behind economic interests.

With the support of the government, the South African Pharmaceutical Association has stepped up to push 39 international pharmaceutical giants, which are 10 times South Africa's annual GDP, to the accused.

After the lawsuit started, all world public opinion was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to those famous companies, and made strong criticisms and accusations of them of not paying attention to the actual situation and holding on to patent rights and price policies.

Mandela even made a public conversation, accusing these companies of not having the minimum humanity.

The current President Mbeki also linked the proliferation of AIDS in South Africa to the fact that these companies often raise the price of drugs under the guise of patent rights. He said that there are so many HIV-infected people in South Africa because patients cannot afford such expensive patented drugs. If these drugs can be bought very cheaply, there would not be 4.7 million HIV-infected people in South Africa now!

The international pharmaceutical giants did not react until this time, and only knew the true intention of the South African government to sue them in court. They knew that if they persisted, public opinion would only be increasingly unfavorable to them, and the public's trust in them would be seriously affected. In particular, the French and British governments have publicly called on their own pharmaceutical companies to lower the prices of anti-AIDS drugs so that more patients in developing countries can afford them.

Seeing that the situation was over, they could not win the lawsuit at all, so they decided to propose to South Africa to end the court dispute and make an out-of-court settlement.

In short, since South Africa has doctors with excellent medical standards and various new anti-cancer drugs, when you think about it carefully, Hao Yingliang is really at the wrong place. After all, no matter how high the medical expenses here are, it will not be as high as those in the United States.

"I have been sentenced to death by a doctor in China. Is there any hope of surgery?" Han Bo was silent for a while and asked casually.

"The doctor thought Boss Hao was young and had a good physique, so he could try it. He said that if the surgery was performed, he would be at least 20% sure that Boss Hao would live for another five years."

"Living for another five years is only 20% sure. Isn't this a dead horse to be a living person?"

"almost."

Li Xiaolei leaned against her husband and said solemnly: "The cost is so high that it is so high that I will pay R2 million first. Boss Hao is worried about losing both people and money, so he is unwilling to have surgery. Not to mention 20% sure, even if only 10% of Du Qian is going to fight for it. If you insist on doing the surgery, you have already paid the money."

"R2 million, pay it as soon as you say it. How can they get so much money?"

"Husband, do you have some compassion? That's someone else's life-saving money, don't worry about it!"

"I don't mean that, I mean it's not that easy to exchange foreign currencies. They leave the country through legal channels, so where can they get so much cash?"

"As a matter of fact, Hao Yingliang guessed, he knew you would ask the truth," Li Xiaolei glared at her husband fiercely. "There is no hiding assets abroad. All of this money was funded by more than a dozen domestic bosses he helped before, and it was not considered a funding. It was a gift for their marriage. One person paid 888,888. He knew that he was going abroad to see a doctor, and then he turned it into pieces and mobilized many people to go to the bank to exchange it for US dollars."

"Isn't this money laundering!"

"This is money for medical treatment, it is life-saving money for others. Besides, there are too many people who exchange it for foreign exchange in this way. The law does not punish the public. You can't hold on to others. If you really hold on to others, you can't enforce the law selectively, and you can't kill them all?"

"What's wrong with this world? I have become a bad guy in my law enforcement impartially." Han Bo never thought of killing everyone, pretending to be dejected and sighed.

"The law is nothing more than human favors."

Li Xiaolei was really worried that her husband would cause trouble for Hao Yingliang again, so she shaking his arm as pleasedly, "Also, Hao Yingliang plans to do business in South Africa, and it is a big business. Through Director Li of the Police and Civilian Cooperation Center, he met Mr. Chen Tuhao, deputy mayor of Xinbao City, KwaZulu Natal Province, and also formed a relationship with Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang Xinjia and Mr. Sun Hengyao, and even visited Mayor Joburg."

South Africa is politically relaxed towards Chinese people. Although the number of Chinese people is small, some Chinese political elites still run for elections or appointed to government or parliamentary positions, which also constitutes the main way for African Chinese to participate in politics.

In the 1980s, a Chinese served as the Consultant Political Commissar of the South African President. In 1996, Mr. Chen Tuhao was elected deputy mayor of Newcastle City, KwaZulu Natal Province. In the South African parliamentary elections two years ago, Mr. Chen Tuhao of the African Congress (hereinafter referred to as "ANC") and Zhang Xinjia of the Inkata Liberal Party became the first batch of Chinese MPs in South Africa, rewriting the history of the South African Parliament without Chinese people.

I am just a police liaison officer, mainly dealing with the South African police department and the Immigration Bureau.

After taking office, he had never visited these Chinese political elites. Unexpectedly, Hao Yingliang actually "reused the same tricks". Less than a month after he arrived in South Africa, he became involved in relationships with the Chinese political elites in South Africa. Han Bo felt it was incredible and asked in surprise: "Wife, what business does he want to do?"

"He wants to buy the Tangte Apartment, the world's largest urban slum, into a Chinese mall that integrates business, housing and logistics."

In the early 1990s, Chinese people went to South Africa to set up stalls, and when they came, they brought the goods with them, and then went back to enter after selling them, which was similar to a tyrant;

In the mid-1990s, a store was opened;

After 2000, a mall was built.

In recent years, housing prices in South Africa have risen rapidly and rents have also risen. As a developer and building a China Mall, this idea is correct. The key is that he is not building it, but he wants to buy the Donte Apartment to renovate it.

Han Bo was stunned for a while, and then he recovered from his senses. He asked suspiciously: "Wife, he really said that. Do you really plan to buy Donte's apartment?"

"Um."
