This blood crisis came from the UK. This year, the British media published a blood survey report. The report showed that in the 1970s, the UK was in urgent need of blood products to treat hemophilia, so there was an urgent need for processed blood.

Products. However, the raw materials for blood products are only human blood, which means that someone needs to donate blood, and then undergo various biotechnological processes to obtain a qualified blood product. Therefore, the price of related products has always been very high in the world.

Since there are huge profits, there will be no shortage of capitalists who take risks, especially in the United States. This is a "legitimate business" with high profits and no risk. In the 1970s, the American medical giant and Continental Pharmaceutical Group began

Studying the blood products business. At that time, the blood source they were looking for was not domestic, but a poor island country called Haiti. At that time, the American pharmaceutical group cooperated with the Haitian regime to establish a blood collection center in the slums of the local capital.

In other words, the local poor people are asked to "sell blood" in exchange for some meager remuneration. Compared with the huge profits from blood products, these expenses are simply insignificant, and Haitians have no choice. After all, if they don't donate blood, they will probably starve.

Death, so the United States extracted a steady stream of blood from the bodies of poor people in Haiti, and then made huge profits. However, with the collapse of the Haitian regime, the local blood center was also destroyed in the riots, and the American pharmaceutical group lost its blood

Later, they also established similar blood collection centers in Africa and other places, but they did not last long.

So what should we do? Americans finally found a "stable" source of blood. American capitalists sucked the blood of Americans. In the past, the United States' legal and regulatory capabilities were very weak, so there was a lot of room for rent-seeking, so American pharmaceutical groups

Cooperate with the Arkansas Prison in the United States to allow inmates in American prisons to donate blood. How much profit is there? To put it simply, American prisoners can receive $7 in "nutrition fees" for donating blood, and American pharmaceutical companies can receive

The income is as high as 50 US dollars, so the gross profit margin is as high as more than 6 times. And Arkansas is actually just one of the indexes. At that time, American pharmaceutical companies cooperated with private prisons in the United States, resulting in the blood of American prisoners.

A steady stream of them enter the machines of American pharmaceutical companies from all over the world, and are then exported to all parts of the world under the banners of "safety," "cleanness," and "medical care."

However, there is also a problem with blood in prisons, that is, it is not clean. Everyone in the United States knows that there is freedom, and then there are all kinds of promiscuity and drug problems. In particular, prisoners have a lot of various diseases in their bodies, so

This resulted in blood products derived from American prisoners being unclean, causing problems. What's more, the "eighth coagulation factor product" used to treat hemophilia in the UK was actually made from the blood of multiple people.

This means that as long as there is a problem with one person's blood, almost an entire batch of blood products will have problems. This phenomenon lasted until 1991, when a more advanced thermal disinfection technology was successfully developed and was curbed.

For American pharmaceutical companies, the extraction and processing of prisoners' blood was also a scandal at the time. In addition, the American media had some conscience and exposed a copy of "The Eighth Element: Arkansas Prison Blood Donation Scandal", which exposed the high-risk blood source.

Source. So American pharmaceutical companies decided to give up "drawing blood" directly from prison inmates. They turned to a smarter method, which is to let Americans "voluntarily" donate blood. Capital coerced and profit guided, after the deindustrialization of the United States, ordinary people

There is nowhere to escape! Generally speaking, ordinary people will not sell blood unless they can no longer survive. Therefore, in the 20th century, it was even harder to get ordinary people to sell blood in the United States.

However, the subsequent development of the United States took a fork in the road. American capitalists found that the profits of manufacturing were too low, consumed a large amount of resources, caused environmental pollution, and had to deal with trade unions and strikes in their own countries, which made no money at all.

And by playing with finance, lending usury, and then using the hegemony of the US dollar to harvest the world, you can make a lot of money quickly. If you don't want to, just use aircraft carriers and missiles to directly blow open the country's door, or even overthrow the government. So the United States financial and

Technological hegemony is booming, but manufacturing is in decline. American industrial cities have basically declined. This share of the manufacturing industry has been replaced by China. The deindustrialization of the United States is actually beneficial to the American consortium, ruling class, and Wall Street.

Financial elites all earn annual salaries of millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars, and they are very generous with their dividends.

However, deindustrialization comes at a cost. This has forced the United States to transform from an industrial country to a service industry country. It relies on domestic stimulation of consumption to make money. It is more difficult for American people to find jobs. Coupled with illegal immigrants and illegal immigrants, American society is complex and the bottom class is

Residents' lives are very stressful, because many people can't even find a job serving dishes at McDonald's. So what should we do? They are actually natural "blood donors." American capitalists began to change the law to stipulate that donating blood in the United States is "

"Legal", every American can "donate blood" twice a week, and the reward each time is about 40-50 US dollars, and the more you donate, the more you get. If you donate blood 4 times a month, you can get an additional bonus, up to 800 US dollars.

US dollars. Even if you are short of money, you can donate up to 104 times a year. According to the blood company's monthly promotional income of US$800, you can get an income of close to US$10,000.

This income may not be worth it to ordinary Americans, but for some "donuts", illegal immigrants, and low-income homeless people, it is really a huge sum of money. Therefore, the current American Blood Company,

There is no longer a need to worry about blood sources, and the worse the U.S. economy is and the more illegal immigrants there are, the less blood sources the U.S. will have. And the profits of U.S. blood products will be higher. Under such circumstances, U.S. blood products

The proportion of exports is as high as 2.69% of the total exports of the United States. The United States provides 94% of the world's paid blood, creating a "blood economy."

If there is a market, there will naturally be crooked ways.

Some people don't even want to pay any cost, so there is a mature black market for blood!

Big companies want more blood sources, so the people below will naturally have better ways to provide blood sources. So the black industry chain also came.

The Beggar King has done many such things, even mixing in the blood of dead people and selling it together!

Anyway, when the Beggar King goes to the hospital, he will only accept blood from regular channels. Although it is more expensive, at least the quality is guaranteed, otherwise the devil knows where the blood comes from?

But the problem is, he can't do anything wrong in this situation, otherwise he will be in bad luck in a minute!

"This..." But he also had a headache. He couldn't raise them as uncles, could he?

Fortunately, at this time, someone helped him solve the problem.
Chapter completed!
