Chapter 818: If You Have No Money, Just Wait To Die
"Aren't you short of money?" the old man asked.
"I've got a business for you. The price can be negotiated!" The old man glanced at the two people waiting inside and said, "Let's talk!"
Cheng Yong looked helpless and had no choice but to go in.
"Smuggling drugs carries a prison sentence!"
Cheng Yong sat on the boss's chair, smoking a cigarette, and said in a solemn tone: "Besides, for such a big risk, why don't you give me 30,000 yuan?"
"But this is a business opportunity!" Lu Yiyi looked serious.
"Boss, a bottle of genuine domestic medicine costs 37,000 yuan, and a pirated version in the United States costs 2,000 yuan. The efficacy is exactly the same. If you bring back more of this..."
When Cheng Yong heard this, he glanced at the two of them in surprise: "The effect of the medicine is exactly the same?"
"The price difference is twenty times?"
"Um."
"Gungun, treat me like a fool." Cheng Yong began to coax, which was clearly playing with his IQ.
Although Lu Yiyi was shrugged off, he was not angry. Instead, he explained with a smile: "It's true, I asked someone to check it, boss."
"Besides, the brother next to me is an American. He has used it himself. You can trust him."
Cheng Yong turned his attention to foreigners.
When the foreigner saw Cheng Yong looking at him, he nodded and said, "Yes."
"I am an American. I am an exchange student at university in China. I also got sick and was treated here. The medicine was too expensive. By chance, I learned about the pirated version of this medicine in China.
, but in fact there is no trademark and the efficacy is the same, but it is not recognized."
"I've taken it myself, and I can guarantee that there's absolutely no problem with the medicine. Don't worry, I won't joke with you about this."
Cheng Yong still didn't believe it: "Then why don't you sell it yourself? The profit is so high, you can definitely make money, and you can also use the money to treat diseases."
The foreigner shook his head: "This is illegal. I am still young. If I am caught, my parents will be very sad. I can only buy a few bottles every time when I go back. It is not enough. If I bring too much, I will not be able to pass the inspection."
"If you are willing to do this, I only want 10% of the profit. I will give you this channel. It's not really impossible, and I don't want to do it. If I smuggle, I have no channel and will still face breaking the law and being deported back to my country.
The crime and punishment are more severe, and the United States values this kind of intellectual property very much."
This American didn't do Tai Chi. He said it very straightforwardly, including the reasons why he didn't want to do it.
Also, in his situation, he is really not very good at doing this kind of thing. He goes to university in China, and there are various scholarships. In the future, he can enter a good company and have a high annual salary. It is impossible to give up the long-term for such short-term benefits.
In life, once you are caught doing such illegal things, it will be over.
"Everything he said is true, boss." Lu Yiyi nodded aside.
"Then why don't you go?" Cheng Yong looked at him.
"I don't think you dress like you are rich. You are middle-aged and you are probably not very wealthy. Wouldn't it be nice to do this kind of thing and use the money you make to treat your illness?"
Unlike foreigners, Lu Yiyi is not a wealthy person at first glance. If this thing is true and the benefits are huge, he can do it himself.
Not to mention making money to cure diseases, it is also good to make money to improve one's living conditions. If it were him, he would definitely do it, so Cheng Yong still didn't believe what they said.
Although the benefits seemed attractive, the risks were indeed high, and he was not sure whether the things were true or false. Just relying on the two of them to talk about it was not very credible.
"I want to do it too!" Lu Yiyi sighed, his eyes dim.
"Not to mention that I don't have this smuggling channel, it would take a lot of effort for me to find this channel, and my body can't support me to do so. Moreover, if I go to the United States, I won't be able to get a visa because of my own
Even for patients, the job is not high-paying and decent. They are afraid that I will not come back and stay there..."
Hearing this, Cheng Yong fell silent, which is true.
If you want to apply for a visa to the United States in this situation, it will be really difficult.
Some people deliberately travel to the United States when they are pregnant and about to give birth, so that the child can apply for a green card when the child is born there. In order to prevent this kind of thing, the United States is very strict in censoring these "purposeful" people.
"Why don't you ask your relatives and friends to do it? The benefits are so great, they can't be tempted, right?"
Chinese people attach great importance to human relationships. They have many relatives, young and old, and the blood is thicker than water. It is also the bond between everyone. Many times if something happens to someone in the family, other relatives will help out.
Lu Yiyi was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Relatives..."
"You're scared when you see us, and you can't help but avoid us. How can you believe what I say?"
"In order to treat the disease, all my relatives and friends at home have borrowed a lot of money. Some relatives have stopped contacting us in order not to borrow money. As you know, with this kind of disease, there is a bottomless pit. They are not willing to waste their money and do not believe me.
I can pay it back."
"Occasionally, I have relatives and friends who are similar to me. When I tell them about this matter, they run away when they hear that it is against the law. How can they dare to do it?"
When you are poor in a busy city, you have no one to care about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
This phenomenon is becoming more and more common in modern society. The relationship between people has become much weaker. There are very few people who are willing to go through fire and water for their relatives and friends.
Of course, this cannot be said to be wrong. Everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions and for their family.
In a situation like Lu Yiyi's, if the money goes out, there is a high probability that it will not come back. If you are not from a wealthy family, you will really care.
Leukemia, also known as blood cancer, is difficult to cure. In addition to huge medical expenses, it is also necessary to find a suitable bone marrow for transplantation, and there is also the possibility of recurrence.
It can be said that contracting this disease is a huge blow to any person and family, and can cause family members to be devastated.
Cheng Yong still didn't believe what Lu Yiyi said before, but now he does, because what he said is indeed a fact.
This made him think of himself again. He has accomplished nothing in middle age. His wife has left him, and his children may not be able to obtain custody rights. His life is a mess.
"Hey..." Cheng Yong thought about the child, and the idea of fighting came up in his heart.
"I......"
I agreed to this sentence and when I was about to say it, Cheng Yong suddenly changed his tone.
"I reject."
He thought of his father and children who were in a private nursing home.
If he was caught doing this, who would be his father's death?
His child has nothing to do with him anymore. He will never see the child again. When he thought of this, Cheng Yong immediately woke up.
Compared to taking desperate risks, he still couldn't accept it.
"You should find someone else to do this kind of thing." Cheng Yong said helplessly.
"You have been doing smuggling, you must..."
"Who is smuggling!" Cheng Yong immediately retorted seriously: "I tell you, I have never smuggled anything!"
Seeing Lu Yiyi's pitiful condition, Cheng Yong could only make his attitude firmer. He didn't want to hurt this poor man.
"All right......"
Lu Yiyi took a business card from the table, wrote down a phone number, looked at Cheng Yong flatteringly and said, "If you change your mind, please contact me again."
"I'm waiting for the medicine to save my life."
He still didn't give up. This was his last effort and he really had no choice.
Cheng Yong has smuggling channels. As long as he agrees, he can immediately leave for the United States and use the purchasing channels provided by Melis to buy medicines, which is extremely efficient.
"Let's go!"
Before leaving, the two of them showed a kind smile to Cheng Yong. Lu Yiyi and Mai Lisi put on thick masks with several layers and left the adult products store.
Cheng Yong looked at the numbers on the table, and then recalled the smiles the two of them had just left, and he looked a little dazed.
The scene changed and Cheng Yong's father fell. Cheng Yong sent his father to the hospital.
"Director Wang, can you see if this is a mistake?" Cheng Yong said anxiously.
"That's right." Director Wang took the nurse's medical record and signed on it without raising his head.
“This is too expensive!”
"The cost is not set by me, but by the hospital. You should think of a solution quickly." Director Wang said, "As soon as the hematoma tube is broken, the person will be dead."
His father suddenly suffered from illness and urgently needed life-saving money, but he was now penniless. Cheng Yong drank beer to relieve his sorrow.
Only at this time did he feel that he was a human being and that this time belonged to him.
Taking a big sip of beer, Cheng Yong showed a determined look on his face.
He returned to his small shop. Because he had not paid the rent, the shop had been closed down by the landlord. He had no choice but to break the glass and go in to find the number Lu Yiyi left for him.
"Glenin is the most effective drug for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia and needs to be taken for life." Director Wang was talking to Cheng Yong in the hospital about the drugs needed to treat his father's disease.
"Have you heard of American Glenin?" Cheng Yong asked cautiously.
Director Wang, who was writing, looked up and looked at Cheng Yong in surprise: "Who did you listen to?"
"I heard what other patients said."
Cheng Yong asked: "How does the medicine work?"
"Don't ask how effective the medicine is. This medicine is illegal. If you take it privately, many doctors will refuse to treat you."
"Why?" Cheng Yong was puzzled.
"Besides the problem of taking illegal drugs, who is responsible?"
“Some patients can’t afford it!”
"Then there is no other way. If we enter the period of sudden change, we will have no choice but to wait for death."
This short plot changed Cheng Yong's life again. He also learned about the efficacy of pirated drugs from the doctor. The doctor did not deny the efficacy of the drug, but just said that it was an illegal drug because it was not sold as genuine.
The audience had a different feeling when they saw this. The doctor's calm attitude was in stark contrast to the patient's life.
Patients are very concerned about their own lives, but doctors don't care about these things.
If you don't have money, you can only wait to die. This sentence came from the doctor's mouth, which shocked everyone quite a lot.
When someone who is a professional who saves lives and heals the wounded says this, it does make people a little bit shocked, but it is normal, because the doctors responsible for treating this kind of disease are used to seeing too many people die and are used to the separation of life and death.
