Chapter 481 The wind and clouds dispersed, parting like rain.
Christos is preparing for the health care reform in Morningside City.
He plans to carry out profound reforms in medical care from two aspects.
The first aspect is to promote legislation in Chenxi City to limit the uncontrolled rise in medical prices, set a ceiling for the medical industry, and promote the establishment of public medical schools. The second aspect is to carry out medical insurance reform and promote universal medical insurance.
The first aspect is to treat the root cause of the problem of not being able to afford medical treatment in Chenxi City. However, the effective period is long and needs to be worked out slowly. The second aspect is to treat the symptoms and can achieve a short-term effect, allowing some people to quickly afford medical treatment.
.
Christos is currently trying to push the Morningside City Council to pass a series of bills he proposed.
Morningside City is almost one of the most important focuses of the entire Federation, so Christos's behavior has caused an uproar in the entire upper-class society of the Federation, and countless people are watching his actions.
"Danny, do you think he can succeed?"
After hearing the old butler's account of Christos' recent behavior, He Ao asked softly.
"It's hard,"
The old housekeeper shook his head,
"In the last two centuries of federal history, many mayors and presidents have tried to reform health care, but in the end their reforms either failed or they themselves died in an 'accident.'
"This road is difficult. Although Mr. Christos has become the mayor of Chenxi City, it is still very difficult to fight against the medical consortium alliance."
"As the largest monopoly consortium in the federation, lobbyists hired by the medical consortium are active in the offices of every member of the federal parliament and city council." Lina on the side also said softly, "It is better to pass the health care reform bill than to stop the supply of parliament.
The resolution of the free lunch is even more difficult.”
After working in Nolanka Group for the past six months, Lina's vision and knowledge are far beyond those of the confused media worker she once was.
‘Congress’s free lunch’ is a joke often used by federal folk to describe the difficulty of passing a bill.
The Bundesrat, the House of Representatives and most city councils provide free lunches to members during work hours.
Because when the Federation was first established, human technology was not as developed as it is now, and the salaries of most members were not high. The free lunches provided by the Parliament were one of the few relatively affordable benefits, and no member was willing to stop it.
Therefore, federal folk use the term "stop the free lunch for members" to refer to bills that are almost impossible to pass in parliament.
The views of the old housekeeper and Lina are basically the views of the entire federal upper class.
Christos is doing something that is almost impossible to succeed.
In fact, the Nolanka Group has already tried this. With the whole team working together, and without the obstruction of the parliament, the Nolanka Group is now forced into a dilemma by the alliance of medical consortiums.
In this world, no one is a fool, and medical consortiums will do their best to protect their own interests.
He Ao narrowed his eyes slightly.
But Christos has always been the mayor of Dawn City, the largest city in the federation, and has absolute rights in some aspects.
All he needs is some 'opportunities'.
After a brief thought, He Ao opened his eyes and looked at the old housekeeper, "Is Dr. Roger who 'treated' me here?"
"Doctor Roger went to Limen City to visit an old friend. It will probably take a few days before he comes back."
The old butler said softly that he had been paying attention to Wei An's condition, and he had also been paying attention to Roger, who was able to maintain Wei An's physical functions.
"How long does it take for the transport plane to go to Limen City?"
He Ao asked in a low voice.
"If we communicate with the airport over there, it will take about two hours."
The old housekeeper replied.
Generally speaking, if you take a safe route, it will take at least four hours to travel by airship from Limen City to Kaya City, while an aircraft like a transport plane is faster, and of course has a worse carrying capacity.
"Contact the store and send someone to bring Dr. Roger back tomorrow morning," He Ao pondered for a moment, then looked at the old butler, "Is Mr. Faith here?"
Faith is the leader of the Nolanka mercenary group and a B-class transcendent.
The old housekeeper sat up slightly, with a hint of surprise on his old face, "Master Wei'an, do you want to mobilize the mercenary group?"
"Fortress City No. 146 will be built soon."
He Aoruo said pointedly.
That will be a huge emerging market, and what Nolanka Group lacks most now is the market.
"That is Qunxing Pharmaceutical's sphere of influence," the old housekeeper said hoarsely, "We are not yet able to fight against one of the top ten large consortiums in the federation."
Although the Nolanka Group dominates Kaya City, it can only barely squeeze into the large consortiums in the entire federation. It wants to deal with a giant like Qunxing Pharmaceutical with a market value of trillions and power covering several cities.
, a heavy price must be paid.
"It's okay, Danny," He Ao looked at the old butler, "I know what's going on."
The old butler looked into He Ao's eyes, and finally nodded slightly.

Limen City
When the morning light shone through the window on the soft big bed, He Ao sat up from the bed.
He rubbed his brows slightly.
He spent the whole night last night in the conference room of the Nolanka Group discussing with the old housekeeper and others how to deal with the problems currently faced by the Nolanka Group. After the mercenary leader Feisi arrived, he discussed many details with Feisi.
question.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that he saw everyone off and had the opportunity to 'take a nap' in the conference room.
However, after switching back to Pate's body, the fatigue from thinking all night was relieved a lot, at least physically I felt energetic.
Wei An has always had the body of an ordinary person, and is incomparable to Pate, who has become a C-level strongman.
Dong Dong——
Just when He Ao sat up from the bed, there was a knock on the door.
He Ao put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw Roger who was hesitant to speak.
Roger has obviously never faced this kind of situation. His social skills are not strong. If he has time to socialize, he would rather dissect a few more corpses.
"What's wrong?"
He Ao was the first to ask.
"One of my 'patients' in Kaya City woke up." As the topic started, Roger's nervousness subsided a little. He hesitated and said slowly, "They hope that I can return to Kaya City as soon as possible.
, a plane has been sent to pick me up."
"Very good," He Ao smiled, "You have done everything you promised me, and it's time to leave."
"you······"
Roger raised his hand but stopped talking.
"If you want to repay the research materials I gave you to the institute, please do one last thing for me."
He Ao looked at his hesitant expression and chuckled softly.
"good."
Roger looked at He Ao's face and agreed before He Ao said the matter.
He Ao looked up at him and smiled.
······
half an hour later
"Do you know Wei An?"
At the edge of the city road, He Ao leaned against the extinguished lamppost, took out his cigarette case, pulled out one, lit the flame and held it in his mouth.
Speeding vehicles passed in front of him, blowing away long plumes of smoke.
"We know each other," Roger stood next to He Ao. He reached out and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case that He Ao had not put away, and held it in his mouth. "He is also related to your 'k'?"
"In a sense," He Ao glanced at Roger, reached over and lit a cigarette for him with the lighter he brought from the wilderness, "don't you don't smoke?"
"I want to smoke one. I also smoked for a while when I was doing experiments on nicotine addiction, cough," Roger held the cigarette in his hand and coughed. The gray smoke covered his face, and his
His eyes fell on the lighter in He Ao's hand, "This thing looks good."
"Give it to you."
He Ao handed him the lighter and took the cigarette from his hand, "If you quit, don't smoke again."
"Why did you suddenly mention Wei An?"
Roger took the lighter from Ho Ao's hand, turned around and looked at the busy street.
"I left something with him."
He Ao held a cigarette in his mouth and said slowly.
Roger fell silent.
A yellow self-driving taxi stopped in front of the two people.
He Ao put out the cigarette in his mouth, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, and shouted back, "Girl, the car is here."
"Coming!"
Aini hurriedly dragged her small suitcase and ran out wearing her coat.
"What have you been doing for so long?"
He Ao looked at his daughter's rosy little face and chuckled.
"I won't tell you," Aini looked at He Ao, who was still wearing unlined clothes, and handed over the coat he was wearing, "No, the weather forecast says the temperature will drop today, don't catch a cold."
"So you went to get my clothes?"
He Ao smiled and took the coat and put it on himself.
"you guess,"
The little girl blinked, dragged the small suitcase to the back of the taxi, put the suitcase in the trunk, then walked to the back door of the taxi, smiled and said to He Ao, "Dad, I'm leaving.
"
"Listen to Uncle Roger on the road."
He Ao warned with a smile.
"Um."
The little girl nodded heavily, then she opened the car door, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, aren't you going with us?"
"I will stay here for a few more days."
He Ao said with a smile.
"Then you should... take care of yourself and be careful... don't catch a cold."
Aini raised her head with a smile on her face, "If you didn't take good care of your health, if your mother were still here, she would definitely scold you."
He Ao looked at his daughter's cheek and nodded gently, "Okay."
"Then I'm leaving." The little girl sat in the back seat, closed the car door, and then waved gently to He Ao through the car window, "Goodbye, Dad."
"Um."
He Ao smiled and nodded.
Roger, who was standing next to the co-pilot, slowly opened the door. He took one last look at He Ao and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
The driverless taxi painted with bright colors slowly started, taking the two of them little by little towards the distance.
The wind and clouds have dispersed, and farewell is like rain.
When the taxi disappeared at the end of the distant city, He Ao turned around and looked behind him.
The towering Star Group Building is standing where the sky and the earth meet.
He stopped a taxi and got in.
——
In the silent driverless taxi, Roger pulled out a piece of paper and handed it behind him.
The girl took the paper and wiped the crystal water droplets off her face.
The entire taxi fell silent again.
——
"The Nolanka Mercenary Group announced that in order to better eliminate alien beasts and improve the combat effectiveness of the mercenary team, it will conduct a field movement exercise within the next three days. The exercise venue will be set up in the newly built Fortress City No. 146.
around."
"The spokesperson of Nolanka Group stated that this operation is to better defend human civilization and maintain federal order."
"The newly built fortress city, because the high walls are not perfect, is easily attacked by alien beasts and eroded by cults. This exercise of the Nolanka Mercenary Group will greatly ease the defense against alien beasts around No. 146 Fortress City.
pressure."
"This newspaper reported that the Nolanka mercenary group was accompanied by a caravan full of goods. The Nolanka Group claimed that these were supplies to the mercenary group, but they also claimed that the Nolanka Group did not
Do not refuse any business transactions."
"According to people familiar with the matter, there is a large backlog of goods in the warehouses of the Nolanka Group. The Nolanka Group has seen an obvious expansion trend in the past year. They are very likely to have ideas for the emerging Fortress City No. 146."
······
"As one of the few unlisted consortiums among the top 500 large consortiums in the federation, the market estimates that the power Nolanka Group can mobilize far exceeds its apparent data."
······
"At around 10 o'clock today, influenced by the Nolanka Group's entry into Fortress No. 146, Qunxing Pharmaceutical's opening share price fell slightly by 0.5%. After a brief shock, the share price still showed a decline."
As the speeding taxi headed towards the less crowded road, He Ao's eyes retracted from the text messages on his bracelet.
He got out of the taxi, looked up at the towering Qunxing Pharmaceutical Building in front of him, then walked into a nearby hotel and booked a room.
After entering the hotel room, he checked around and made sure there were no cameras, then closed the curtains and lay down on the bed.

Kaya City
He Ao opened his eyes and gently pressed the button on the armrest. The electric leather chair slowly stood upright, and his body slowly sat upright.
He walked to the main seat in the conference room and turned on the tablet in the conference room.
Lina's avatar appeared on the computer screen.
"How is it going?"
He Ao asked softly.
"Our reconnaissance team just arrived around Rimen City,"
Lina quickly said that as He Ao's personal secretary, she basically received most of the information that He Ao was supposed to receive. "They just sent a report. They found traces of the movement of the mercenary group, which was originally stationed near Limen City.
The mercenary group seems to have been transferred away, and the target is...the direction of Fortress City No. 146."
"Okay, continue to observe."
He Ao connected to the old housekeeper's video call at the same time, and now the three of them formed a video conference.
He Ao simply put down the tablet and turned on the holographic projection.
"Danny, contact the Nolde Consortium, prepare various vouchers, and tell them that we want to borrow a mortgage from them and borrow a lot of money."
He Ao said quickly.
"OK,"
The old housekeeper nodded slightly.
"We are now contacting the Nolde Consortium, will they accept it?"
Lina was a little confused.
Theoretically, the Nolanka Group and the Norde Consortium had a grudge. He Ao solved the directors who tried to take the company public and even killed the 'messenger' sent by the Norde Consortium.
Logically speaking, the Nord Consortium doesn't like the Nolanka Group, so it would be nice not to be rejected by them, let alone get help.
This is Lena's thinking.
"No," He Ao shook his head slightly to deny Lina's idea, "As long as they make money, they will do anything."
There is another update during the day, so everyone should go to bed early.
