Chapter 1515: Chapter 1128: Calmness Equals Compromise_2
Now don’t take risks, be more conservative. The initial risk was a last resort, for saving lives. Continuing to risk now could very well disrupt the current stable state.
“The therapeutic effect of the new K virus surpasses all current tumor thods in the world. We can specify its structure, and then further study the treatnt thods, including dosage, side effects, treatnt courses, and intervals between treatnts, we’ll conduct more detailed research,” Yang Ping finally spoke.
It’s a success!
Everyone beca excited, hugging each other in celebration, this was the result of countless days and nights of effort.
“When should we start the second treatnt? Shouldn’t we seize the montum and eliminate the remaining tumor lesions in one go?” Lu Xiaolu, who had been silent, imdiately questioned. He was eager to begin the second course of treatnt.
Yang Ping shook his head: “No, before we thoroughly analyze the data from the first experint, we shouldn’t hastily proceed to a second experint. It’s easy to lose control; we need to slow down. Be aggressive when needed, conservative when needed.”
“Yes, the issue of the relationship between K virus treatnt and brain tissue edema stands before us. If we proceed with the second trial without resolving this, more severe brainstem edema could occur, with unimaginable consequences,” Song Zimo understood Yang Ping’s rationale.
Tang Shun nodded: “Cell research is our strength. Let’s establish a project imdiately, make this issue a subtopic for our laboratory study. Once we clarify this problem’s fundantal dical principles, we’ll be much more confident proceeding with the second experint.”
In clinical trials, we must be extrely cautious, better to be slow than to take unnecessary risks.” Yang Ping advised everyone.

A stone stirs up a thousand ripples, this stone’s splash is enough to shake the foundation of many pharmaceutical capital giants. Their decades of investnts in this field could co to naught.
“Why the headache again!”
“Nothing wrong with the re-examination, right?”
“No problem.”
“Confird no problem?”
“That’s what the doctor said.”
“This is the latest intelligence, we can only obtain so info from the periphery, no way to access their core. They’ve successfully developed a bio-agent modified by adenovirus, potentially highly effective against various tumors. If it moves into clinical use, currently most drugs will be rendered obsolete, including the majority of our new drug technologies yet unreleased,” Rolf handed over a thick stack of docunts.
Li Gaoyang flipped through them, unable to concentrate due to his headache, making reading impossible.
“Tell instead, seeing these things gives a headache.”
”They’ve already conducted secret clinical trials and started openly recruiting volunteers for phase one trials, advancing faster than we imagined. Our experts predicted at least fifteen years before clinical trials, under perfect circumstances, yet they’ve progressed so quickly,” Rolf said irritably.
Fifteen years? What a huge prediction gap.
“We can only rely on Fujiwara Chishou for intelligence now. Everyone we’ve sent was blocked; no one could penetrate their inner circle, even the periphery is difficult,” Rolf said, troubled.
“Didn’t the experts say this technology is still at the PPT stage? They said fifteen years to clinical trials, yet in just a few months, there’s news of clinical entry. Can their word be trusted?” Li Gaoyang responded angrily.
“Even I didn’t anticipate this?”
“Should we execute Plan B?” Li Gaoyang asked.
He was very hesitant; if things continue like this, they would eventually be buried by Yang Ping. But executing Plan B terrified him personally because his headaches were increasingly severe. Although check-ups showed no issues, he feared a recurrence. If it happened, no one might treat him again; who isn’t afraid of death?
But if they continued this way, BG Company’s century-old legacy could be truly destroyed.
Rolf shook his head: “No!”
“Why not?”
“Fujiwara Chishou’s sole insider confird he possesses technologies that bypass our core patents, potentially substituting most of our core products. He made a will stating that if he dies before age one hundred, these technical details will automatically spread across the internet, becoming freely accessible to everyone.”
“One hundred years old? Are you saying his centennial will is real, not a rumor?” Li Gaoyang found it humorous yet not humorous at all.
“It’s true! An insider managed to steal so docunts. Upon reviewing them, if any pharmaceutical factory on Earth obtained them, they could produce inexpensive drugs that substitute our current bestseller, with better effects at one-tenth our price. So, his centennial will is real. I once suspected he was bluffing, but from this leaked intelligence, it’s indeed true. If we maintain the status quo, we have so ti to respond. The worst result would be losing part of the market. If we execute Plan B, we’d collapse instantly; this is indisputable.”
“Truly a genius, it’s a pity he won’t work for us, such a pity, why is that?”
“He truly is a genius. Even pooling all our scientists’ brains couldn’t compare to his. I can’t understand why he won’t work for us; I can offer limitless incentives, money, fa, status, beauty, anything—BG Company can provide anything. Yet, he has no interest in any of this.”
“Then execute Plan C, target the people around him. He must have weaknesses.”
“Impossible. Not only do they have tight security, but he also holds a secret docunt. If his family suffers any harm, he will release the data, varying the amount according to the severity.”
“Really?”
“Once, his family fell down the stairs, severely wrenching their back. A docunt was released, leading one of our products to be replaced, causing stock prices to plumt. This is no rumor or bluff; he truly has this capability. Reportedly, he refrains from using it because he doesn’t want to disrupt the current pharmaceutical order. If the order is destroyed, the entire innovation system would be wrecked, causing chaos in the pharmaceutical industry, severely impacting innovation capacity.”
“It seems Plan B and Plan C are ineffective, to be locked away in the safe, leaving only Plan A to forcibly pursue so cooperation?”
“Exactly, since he doesn’t intend to destroy the existing pharmaceutical system, at least for now, he understands the dire consequences of such actions, so we shouldn’t make the foolish mistake of forcing him to destroy us. The situation is simple: being his enemy ans potential destruction, benefitting others instead. Restricting the rivalry to business competition confines us to gaining a gigantic competitor at most. Clearly, the latter is in our best interest, according to strategic experts from our group headquarters. Their final recomndation is to actively seek so cooperation within the comrcial competition realm.”
Li Gaoyang rubbed his temples: “This is a rational and visionary suggestion. I don’t want the company to be destroyed, not knowing if we could eliminate the opponent. Taking a risk without assured success, the other rivals would hide in the shadows laughing heartily. It seems, I must compromise, coexist with him, and face these challenges using negotiation and bargaining to resolve them.”
“Absolutely right. Calmness equals compromise, keeping the conflict within comrcial bounds without escalation is the best choice, maximizing BG Company’s interests—facing an unprecedented opponent, his strength is beyond our imagination, and his thought process is unpredictable.”
“Alright, I’ll accept this suggestion. It seems I now need to hand over the re-examination images to Professor Yang.” Li Gaoyang’s fingers never left his temples.
