Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Chapter 587 Healthcare: An Underestimated Industry

"I can't just stay at home and live off my wife every day, can I?"

Meng Chuan looked up and smiled at Liu Qian.

"Ugh, are you blaming me?"

Liu Qian said to Meng Chuan in a coquettish tone.

Although Meng Chuan is indeed quite idle at home every day.

However, Liu Qian never dared to complain that Meng Chuan was a kept man.

Because of Meng Chuan's current business empire and net worth, it's impossible to say he's the world's richest man.

But there is definitely a richest person in Asia.

With Meng Chuan being so wealthy, who would dare say he's a kept man?

What other gigolo is qualified to be a favorite of Meng Chuan?

That's why Liu Qian works even harder.

She needs to demonstrate her value.

Meng Chuan entrusted her with such an important position as the president of Fuxing University.

If she can't even manage things, then she's utterly useless.

Of course, in order to demonstrate her value, Liu Qian naturally needs to devote more time and energy to her work.

Therefore, Liu Qian herself knew that she had neglected Meng Chuan and the child to some extent during this period.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

After all, the school is still in its early stages.

Once everything is on track, she won't need to be so busy anymore.

She will definitely make time to make up for Meng Chuan and the child in the future.

"That's not true!"

Meng Chuan smiled and patted the chair next to him:

"Come sit down. I have something to tell you. I might be acquiring Sinovac Biotech."

Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized:

"You did this for..."

"Not at all."

Meng Chuan held her hand:

"This company will be very useful in the future. Besides, anyone who dares to mess with my wife will have to pay the price."

Looking at the seriousness in Meng Chuan's eyes, Liu Qian felt a warmth in her heart.

She leaned over and pecked him on the lips:

"So after the acquisition, do you plan to manage it personally?"

Meng Chuan has been paying too much attention to Sinovac Biotech these past few days.

That's why Liu Qian asked that question.

"Ok!"

"Isn't this... a waste of talent? You're a principal, aren't you afraid people will criticize you for neglecting your duties?"

Liu Qian looked at Meng Chuan half-jokingly.

Meng Chuan has many titles now.

The most outstanding individuals at present are the doctoral graduates and the president of Fu-Hsing University.

After all, for most Chinese people, the idea that all other professions are inferior and only studying is superior has long been deeply ingrained in their minds.

A school principal who neglects to manage a perfectly good school.

He went to run a pharmaceutical company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Something looks a little off.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't always live by other people's values."

Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qian with a helpless expression.

Liu Qian is under too much psychological burden.

Perhaps it's because Meng Chuan's positive image is too perfect.

Therefore, she always unconsciously wants to make herself more perfect.

She worried that even the slightest flaw in herself would affect Meng Chuan.

She was also unconsciously trying to maintain Meng Chuan's image, and she couldn't tolerate any blemish on it.

"That's definitely a waste of talent!"

Liu Qian looked at Meng Chuan innocently.

Although Liu Qian didn't know much about Meng Chuan's abilities.

But Meng Chuan was able to accumulate such a huge fortune in such a short period of time.

And he was able to obtain his doctorate in such a short time.

Many netizens, including Liu Qian, hope that Meng Chuan can continue to shine in his professional field.

Instead, they should not waste their talents and abilities on a small pharmaceutical company.

"No, you underestimate the pharmaceutical industry. Throughout history, major disasters are always followed by major epidemics; this is an immutable law."

Meng Chuan said in a profound and enigmatic way.

Many people actually feel that the current level of medical care and quality of life is already very high.

Even if there is a major disaster, there will be no major epidemic.

Or, even if there is a major epidemic, it can be quickly controlled with current medical technology.

But only those who experienced the 2019 pandemic truly know.

Human medical technology is far from being able to easily defeat viruses.

"Is not it?"

Liu Qian looked at Meng Chuan with a puzzled expression.

"Of course not, you overestimate our current medical capabilities."

Meng Chuan shook his head:

"In fact, so far, the number of viruses that humans have been able to defeat in the war between them is very small."

"We can't even defeat a tiny cold virus."

Liu Qian became more and more confused as she listened.

He couldn't help but retort:

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? How many lives did the common cold take in ancient times? Now, a cold can be cured with a packet of pills, or at worst, an IV drip. How can you say we haven't defeated viruses?"

Although Liu Qian is not a medical professional.

But she still has common sense.

In ancient times, "wind-cold" referred to the common cold.

In ancient times, countless people, whether commoners or high-ranking officials, died of colds every year.

But nowadays, it's rare to hear of anyone losing their life because of a cold.

"You're wrong. Whether it's medication or saline solution, we're not eliminating the virus. We're just numbing our bodies and making our senses feel better."

Ultimately, we must rely on our own immune system to defeat the virus.

Meng Chuan said:

"Moreover, as the virus continues to evolve, its lethality decreases, eventually leading to symbiosis with us humans."

"So from any perspective, we humans have not defeated the virus."

Liu Qian was completely confused.

Because Meng Chuan's views overturned her understanding.

She also lacked the ability to discern whether Meng Chuan was right or wrong.

"So, you think there's still a lot of potential in the healthcare industry?"

Liu Qian concluded.

She could clearly sense that Meng Chuan was determined.

"Yes, there will be very few people who will surpass me in wealth in the future, and even if there are, they will definitely be in the medical industry."

Meng Chuan said firmly.

This statement was not Meng Chuan's original creation.

It was a famous quote from Ma Yun.

And as it turned out, Ma Yun was right.

Over the three years of the pandemic, the total value of all medical supplies related to epidemic prevention consumed globally exceeded $50 trillion.

This is despite the shortage of supplies.

If all supplies are provided adequately.

It could even surpass the $100 trillion mark.

Although the reason why scarcity increases value should also be considered.

Due to the shortage of supplies, the transaction prices of many medical supplies have been inflated too much.

There have even been cases of masks costing as much as $1000 each.

However, it cannot be ignored that if prices remain stable, consumption will be even higher.

If everyone could easily buy inexpensive medical supplies, the consumption would be three times or even more than it is now.

Therefore, no matter which aspect you look at it from, the medical supplies industry has great potential.

This is an industry that Meng Chuan needs to cultivate deeply.

The pandemic just came too suddenly.

Although no top-tier billionaires have emerged.

However, there are many billionaires around the world who have become billionaires because of the pandemic.

The sheer number of them is what makes these wealthy individuals less conspicuous.

If Meng Chuan had made arrangements in advance, they probably wouldn't have had a chance.

"Okay! I believe you. Since you've made up your mind, I support you."

Liu Qian said with a hint of helplessness.

Although she still felt that Meng Chuan was exaggerating.

However, judging from Meng Chuan's attitude, he has already made up his mind.

As Meng Chuan's woman, all she could do was offer her unconditional support.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if Meng Chuan fails.

Meng Chuan can afford to lose.

Meng Chuan smiled but didn't explain.

His current career in the medical field might be looked down upon by many.

But in the future, he will be someone even more unattainable for many...
