565 To…the Island!
The female reporter realized that her question was a bit sensitive and was afraid of embarra.s.sing Miracle Doctor Y, so she hurriedly corrected herself and gave everyone a heads-up.
In fact, many people nodded slightly in agreement. Life-saving medicine of that caliber ought to be more expensive, but the most important thing was that it was effective.
People still suffered a lot in hospitals even after spending a lot of money, taking medication, and undergoing operations. One might find that a sickly individual was not saved even after going bankrupt. Such a situation was helpless and sad.
Therefore, many people felt that there was no issue spending so much money as long as it was able to save a person’s life.
Even if Ye Lingchen set a sky-high price, they might be slightly disheartened at worst, but would not go so far as to start getting angry.
Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Lingchen smiled and took the microphone. “Because the pills are still in production, I can’t give you an exact price for it, but…I guarantee it won’t be expensive!”
“Except for some special diseases that might require rarer herbal materials, most of the pills would not cost much. As for myself, I’m doing this to save lives, not to make money! Therefore, I definitely won’t think of raising it to a high price just to make huge profits!”
“Take rabies as an example, I now estimate that the price of pills to cure it will not exceed ten thousand. If you want to cure stomach cancer, the price of pills will not exceed two hundred thousand! ”
[200,000RMB! Not expensive! Not expensive… Hmm? F*CK MAN! It’s not expensive at all!]
[F*ck! Only 200,000RMB? Isn’t that too cheap?]
[When I go to the hospital to have an operation, the first thing they ask for is 200,000RMB. Then, there are all kinds of medicinal costs, and they still can’t cure it…]
[Goodness me, Miracle Doctor Y. You’re too kind. Really, you are! You can raise the price a little. It can’t be that cheap. You must also make some money for yourself, otherwise we’ll feel sorry for you.]
[Miracle Doctor Y, please set the price higher. How about you sell it for 300,00RMB? We’re willing to let you make some money.]
[It’s so amazing that you’re doing it not to make money, but to save lives! If only all doctors think the same! Our lives won’t be that hard then.]
[My son just asked me if there are any saints in this world and I said yes because Miracle Doctor Y is the perfect example of one!]
…
Ye Lingchen’s offer surpa.s.sed everyone’s expectations and it sounded like music to everyone’s ears.
The mouths of the patients lying on countless hospital beds were slightly ajar, and their families shed emotional tears.
An illness could bring down a family and break the originally happy family in an instant. The patient would feel that he was a burden and wanted nothing more than to apologize for everything with their death. Meanwhile, the family would feel incompetent because of their inability to save their loved ones.
The words of Miracle Doctor Y made them all cry emotionally.
“This price…is unexpected.” The female reporter was similarly stunned, but she continued asking, “It is possible for you to tell me a little bit about when these pills will be available?”
This issue was undoubtedly the top priority and everyone’s attention suddenly pepped up.
“The pills are actively being prepared for production, but everything is ready and in order, and the country is also supporting me. Therefore, it will progress very fast. Should there be no hiccups along the way, the first batch will enter the market in the span of half-a-year at most. After that, pills for various diseases will appear one after another on the market.”
Ye Lingchen spoke faintly, then said, “That’s all I’ll say for now. I’ll start focusing on producing pills next, so as for treatment…I can only say that I’ll come over from time to time.”
“Miracle Doctor, please go ahead. Developing those pills is of utmost importance.”
“Miracle Doctor Y, don’t tire yourself too much. Make sure to rest more. We’re not in a hurry.”
“Yeah, we understand. I’m grateful that Miracle Doctor Y appeared in the same era as I did. I’m proud.”
“Half-a-year! It’ll only take half-a-year! Wow! I knew the country would attach importance to it. History will be rewritten!”
“It’s all for the sake of the people!”
…
At the end of the interview, Ye Lingchen exited the area calmly and with flair, leaving behind only the traces of his legend.
Before he left however, he once again shot a profound look at the group of rich people.
A simple interview sent waves throughout the web. It really did make huge waves!
In addition to the major entertainment media, China’s news and papers even reported it too. Moreover, the news was top priority and occupied an entire page in the newspaper!
Various news outlets all over the world were sent into a frenzy and the campaign was very strong.
For a brief period, Miracle Doctor Y’s name was considered a household name. Some people even venerated him as a G.o.d!
It immediately caused Ye Lingchen’s popularity to skyrocket again!
He could not remember the exact number of surges in popularity that he had experienced recently, but the rate of increase could only be described as lightning quick. It was simply frightening.
One could only say that the waves being set off on that occasion was far too big. Most importantly, it was not due to entertainment, but saving lives! It felt close to everyone’s hearts, hence the effortless increase in popularity value.
Previously, his popularity value was only over four million, but after that incident, it exceeded 10 million yet again and reached 10,689,765!
In addition, it was growing rapidly!
During the past few days alone, Ye Lingchen’s popularity value had risen by nearly 20 million!
It was so frightening that Ye Lingchen was shocked too.
The next day.
Sure enough, in one night, his popularity value increased by more than 1.5 million and reached 12,368,879!
It felt good!
Everything that happened as of then was merely a prelude. Once the pills were produced and lives were saved, his popularity value would inevitably explode again. By the time the pills were marketed abroad, it would surge even more!
Nevertheless, the incident could be regarded as squeezing all the shock value from Miracle Doctor Y in a short amount of time. It was probably difficult to have another opportunity to be so explosive in the future.
Ye Lingchen was not in a hurry to try his luck with the system. He felt that he had gotten too lucky recently and needed to calm things down first.
Qin Baichuan arrived early with Grandmaster Hao and Hao Yun. They all came over to join Ye Lingchen in going to the island.
In addition, Zhang Yunxi also set aside everything in her hands that day and prepared to tag along, as did Ouyang Qing, Xu Nan, Dong Miaomiao, and Xiao Feifei.
They were certainly not going to miss such a grand event and would gladly drop whatever they were doing.
Ye Lingchen did not forget to bring Little Green and Little Gray. Both wolves began jumping excitedly, perhaps because they realized that they were about to go on a journey.
On the other hand, Old Tortoise had already swum to that island by itself. It had the island in its mind constantly and naturally knew the way there.
After driving to the beach, a large cruise s.h.i.+p was at sea waiting for everyone. It was none other than the Warrior’s Department who prepared it. On top of the s.h.i.+p were some warriors garrisoned there, and Lin Ao was one of them. He was eager and excited, more so than Ye Lingchen.
Toot, toot, toot—
At the sound of a whistle, the cruise s.h.i.+p began moving slowly and made its way to the island!
