Chapter 824 - Autism (1/2)
Qin Haodong said, “Mr. Frey, forget about the consultation fee. I want you to do me a favor.”
Frey’s look changed. It was quite troublesome to owe anyone a favor, especially for someone like him who was in an important position. It could be difficult to agree to their terms.
To dispel his concerns, Qin said, “Don’t be nervous. It’s just a little favor and I won’t charge you even if you can do nothing about it.”
Rowling said directly, “Doctor Qin, you’ve helped us a lot. Please feel free to tell us what we can do for you. We’ll do the best we can.”
“Here’s the thing…”
Qin Haodong told them about the medicine factory he was going to build in M Country, and then said, “We want to achieve mass production of the Blood Revival Pill. Have you heard of it? It’s a radical cure for leukemia. The pills have been sold in Huaxia for several months, and it’s highly effective.”
“There’re many patients with leukemia in the West, so I want to set up factories to produce the pills in large quantities here. Mr. Frey, could you tell me how to get the approval from the FDA?”
Rowling was surprised. “Is there really a cure for leukemia? A friend of mine has been suffering from leukemia for many years and he’s been in so much pain that he’s tried to kill himself many times. It will be great if you can really cure this disease.”
Owen said, “I’ve heard of the Blood Revival Pill and have done some research. It’s indeed a cure for leukemia, but it hasn’t been introduced to the West yet.”
Jennifer said, “Frey, it’s great that Doctor Qin wants to set up factories to sell the medicine here. You must help him.”
Hearing that Qin just wanted his advice, Frey was relieved, but he said reluctantly, “To be honest, I would directly approve it if I were the director of the FDA.”
“But I’m just a deputy leader without any executive authority. You have to first get the approval of Director Barns before going through the procedures for producing the Blood Revival Pills.”
Qin Haodong said, “I’ve done some research and found that Barns is quite resistant to traditional Chinese medicine and he’s quite a stickler to his standpoint. How can I persuade him to accept the Blood Revival Pill?”
Frey nodded, “You’re right. Barns is quite resistant to traditional Chinese medicine and he’s an upright man of strong principles. Even if the president of M Country comes to persuade him, he won’t give in.”
“It is impossible for Barns to approve the entry of Blood Revival Pill into the market of M country, unless…”
Speaking of this, he shook his head again. “Forget it. It’s absolutely impossible.”
Hearing that there was some hope, Qin Haodong became excited, “Mr. Frey, could you please tell me how to convince Mr. Barns?”
Frey thought for a moment and said, “Barns married late, and has a little daughter, Angel, at an old age. The kid is beautiful, just like an angel.”
“But Angel is autistic and has never been in contact with the outside world even though she’s already six. She can’t even call her parents.”
“To cure Angel, the couple visited the world’s famous doctors over the years, but there is almost no cure for autism, and the recovery rate is extremely low. There has been no sign of improvement for the past years.”
“If you can cure Angel’s disease and prove the value of TCM, I guess that Barns will accept the Blood Revival Pill. But autism is a mental disease, and it’s incurable. But I know this is an imposition.”
Before Qin Haodong could say anything, Jennifer said, “Frey, it’s impossible to cure autism. Is there any other way? Can we just give Barns some money?”
Frey said, “That’s impossible. Neither Barns nor his wife, Kelly, are not greedy for money. Since they knew there is no cure for their daughter’s disease, they have donated their additional assets to UNICEF. How could they be moved by our money?”
Rowling said eagerly, “But leukemia patients here really need the Blood Revival Pill.”
Frey said, “Then there’s nothing I can do. I can’t persuade Barns.”
“Mr. Frey, please take me to Mr. Barns. I can cure his daughter’s autism,” Qin Haodong said.
When they heard what he said, all those present were shocked. They didn’t think the girl with severe autism could be cured.
Owen said, “Doctor Qin, you’re definitely an excellent doctor, but autism is a mental disease. It seems that TCM is not effective against such a disease.”
Qin Haodong smiled, “Who told you that TCM is not effective against mental diseases? Trust me, I can do it.”
Frey said, “Mr. Qin, I trust you, but Barns won’t. I’m afraid that he won’t even give you a chance to treat Angel if he knew that you’re a TCM doctor.”
Owen said, “It doesn’t matter. We can go together to vouch for Doctor Qin.”
Owen was very excited. He had just seen Qin Haodong treat cancer by using acupuncture. Now he wanted to see how Qin cured autism with magical traditional Chinese medicine.
Rowling added, “Yes, I want to go with you to vouch for Doctor Qin. I believe that Barns will trust him after learning that he’s cured my breast cancer.”
“Well, let’s try it together.”
They left Frey’s house and went over to Barns’ home.
They were at a small manor in the suburb of City N. The manor was not quite large, but the surroundings were nice. It looked particularly beautiful with red walls, green tiles and lush vegetation.
