1855 United States Tycoon

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Scrooge McDonald took several people onto the podium.

"Gentlemen. Welcome to the MacDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company." Scrooge first extended his habit of welcoming reporters to the press conference. Of course, a few years later, "Ladies" will be added to this opening remark, but now, there is no such thing as a female reporter.

As Scrooge spoke, the entire venue immediately became quiet.

"First of all, please allow me to introduce you to these friends around me." Scrooge nodded to everyone and said, "This is Professor Li Te. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Li Te in public again, because It was Professor Li Te who discovered the major mistake I made and gave me the opportunity to recover this mistake before it caused irreparable consequences and caused huge damage to mankind. Professor Li Te, thank you!"

After Scrooge finished speaking, he bowed very sincerely to Professor Li Te, and the audience suddenly thundered with applause. This applause is dedicated to Professor Li Te, a scholar who discovered the heroin problem and dared to make it public, and it is also to everyone’s opinion that in the face of the prospect of double damage to reputation and economic interests, he can follow Following the guidance of what the great Professor Immanuel Kant called "the starry sky above his head and the rules in the soul", he resolutely raised his axe and cut down his biggest cash cow, Scrooge. Many reporters, applauding for them, even couldn't help but shed tears. In any era, noble moral spirit can always move and inspire people.

"It's a pity that I am not a musician or playwright, and I don't have the talent of Handel, otherwise I must use this story as the material to write an oratorio comparable to Handel's Messiah." The more emotional French journalist Armand even described this moment in his later reports.

"I also want to thank Mr. MacDonald." After the applause subsided, Professor Li Te also said, "I found this problem purely by accident, but after discovering this problem, do you want to tell it? I I hesitated for a long time. You all know that heroin is the world's best-selling drug, and the economic value it brings is simply astronomical. And my discovery, in any case, will only have a negative impact on its sales. You should all understand that once so much money is involved, everything will become complicated. The black will become white, the white will become black, and the best friend will be turned into an unconventional one. Enemies, even fathers and sons and brothers, can turn against each other. So at the time, I was really scared. I was worried that once I said it, it would affect Mr. Macdonald’s money, would he be bugged when he went out the next morning. Hit and die. Even my whole family may die in various accidents one after another." At this point, Professor Li Te smiled slightly, as if he was laughing at own suspicion and timidity.

However, the other people at the meeting did not laugh. Everyone knows that Professor Li Te's concerns are justified because the economic benefits involved are too great. Many reporters couldn't help but wonder, if they were Mr. Scrooge McDonald, would they have a murder or something? Thinking about it this way, most reporters find that they dare not answer this question at all.

"But it's not a day or two for me and Mr. MacDonald." Professor Li Te continued, "I am more at ease about Mr. Macdonald's character, even more at ease than my own character. Change it. No matter what, I don’t know if I will do anything against my conscience under such circumstances. But I think Mr. MacDonald is tenable. He is rare in this era of loyalty and reliability. People. So I informed Mr. McDonald of the result in an anonymous letter. Well, it didn’t take long for the technology staff of McDonald’s Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company to find me, thank me, and make a request. I hope they can make this issue public in my name.

When the people from McDonald's Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company found me, I was almost frightened. I was full of thoughts at the time that I was finished, I was going to be wiped out and so on. Later I also asked Mr. MacDonald, how did you find me so quickly? At that time, Mr. MacDonald smiled, took out my anonymous letter, pointed to the abbreviation of the University of Cleveland at the bottom of the letter, and said to me: ‘Professor, you have exposed a big hole here. ’Speaking of doing these tasks, um, I’m pretty stupid. But one thing I am proud of is that I have a very accurate vision of people. "

Having said that, Professor Li Te smiled triumphantly. That's the end of Professor Li Te's speech. Scrooge stood aside and thought: "These use all the processing power and storage space in the brain for academic research, even the basic antivirus software-- The guy who has no vigilance is really too good to deceive.” In fact, Ritt’s discovery was discovered in accidental incidents deliberately created by some "eager and eager students" under the control of the MacDonald Consortium. But he himself didn't know anything about it. But this is exactly what Scrooge needs-not everyone is like Scrooge, acting skills have reached MAX, casual acting can fool most people in the world. Among scholars, there are fewer people with this kind of talent, so it is better to let them know that they are acting, and to show their true qualities is the best way to perform.

"Then, I want to give you an exact answer to the problem of heroin addiction." Scrooge said to all the reporters, his voice trembling a little, and his face looked particularly haggard.

"In the past month or so, we used extremely high doses, inhaled or injected, and used some of the primates closest to humans as experimental carriers, and conducted a series of comparative experiments with morphine. The experiments proved that heroin does exist. Addiction. In terms of addiction, it even slightly exceeds morphine. We will send specific experimental data to every gentleman present."

Just as Scrooge said this, some staff members had already begun to distribute copies of printed materials to reporters participating in the conference. Armand took a thick print and opened it gently. He saw that this was an experimental report, which contained various data from various comparative experiments. Armand didn't know much about these too professional things, but it didn't matter. Take this thing back, and naturally you can find someone who understands it to explain it to yourself.

"The reason why there have been no typical cases of addiction before, the fundamental reason is just like what many media have guessed, because the amount we have given is less than the amount of medicine required for general addiction. For the relevant figures, you can also check I found it in the information sent to you... Honestly, this result has hit me a lot. I always feel that heroin is one of my best inventions and one of my greatest contributions to mankind. I love It's like loving own children. But..." Scrooge's voice choked up, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

All the reporters waited there quietly, looking at Scrooge with eyes full of compassion and reverence, just like looking at a tragic hero from ancient Greece.

"I suddenly thought of King Oedipus. This hero has been trying hard to get rid of the terrible destiny imposed on him. But any one of his efforts brings himself one step closer to that destiny. Mr. MacDonald’s performance now reminds me of this respectable and sad Greek hero..." Even the Englishman John, who has always lacked sensibility, used such sensational language in subsequent reports. Feeling for a moment.

Scrooge finally controlled his emotions. He laughed at himself and even smiled miserably, and then said: "In the beginning, I couldn't accept this fact at all. But after calming down, I thought that any mistakes were no mistakes. Happened for no reason. The wrong result comes from the wrong process. The same goes for heroin mistakes."
