The person on duty was stunned by the screen full of abnormal data. At this moment, he only had one hope: that the detection equipment or the program had malfunctioned.
So he personally led a few subordinates to the laboratory department. The staff operated the computer and extracted some more liquid from the container where the medicine was stored.
The person in charge intended to manually test these drugs to see if they had indeed been contaminated.
When a staff member poured the extracted liquid into a test tube, even though they were wearing masks, everyone in the room almost fainted. The fermented, foul odor immediately permeated the entire laboratory.
You can imagine the smell of a bottle of urine left to bake in the sun for a month, opened after fermentation.
Some of the lab technicians even vomited on the spot, and the scene was quite tragic.
There was no need for further testing. The person in charge sat on the ground, completely dazed.
He knew exactly what the original medicinal liquid smelled like; it was a very fresh, refreshing, and even slightly addictive scent.
But this new smell, he would never forget in his lifetime...
At this time, in the residential area of the small town, inside a mansion, a white man in his 40s was sleeping soundly, with two blonde women in his arms.
Suddenly, the urgent phone rang. The man jumped out of bed as if by reflex, because this was a specially set ringtone, indicating that the factory might be in trouble.
This man's name was Karius Gustav, he was Martin's cousin and Boris Gustav's nephew.
He was also a core member of the Gustav family, holding dual doctorates in pharmacy and chemistry, and was skilled in management. Therefore, he was sent to manage Gustav Pharmaceuticals, holding the position of General Manager.
It could be said that in Boris's eyes, Karius was even more important than Mark.
Karius received the call from the person on duty and heard the news, which struck him like a bolt from the blue.
Immediately, he smashed his phone against the wall, shattering it. He haphazardly threw on some clothes, not even bothering with socks, and rushed out of the room.
He drove his car, speeding towards the factory, making the factory guards think someone was trying to break in and nearly shooting him.
More than ten minutes later, Karius arrived at the control room of the core factory. At this time, the analysis report for the medicinal liquid in the container had been released.
Karius looked at the analysis reports and could hardly believe his eyes.
There were all sorts of microorganisms and toxins. It was less like a container of medicine and more like a vat of fermented feces!
"How could this happen, how could this happen? This production process is very mature, and we've been producing for many years without such a situation!
Is someone sabotaging us!" Karius roared hysterically, his eyes bloodshot, his expression as if he wanted to devour someone.
"We have checked all the procedures and production records and found no abnormalities. We also carefully examined the surveillance videos, and there were no abnormalities either...
I... I really don't know how all this happened!"
"Investigate! Even if you have to dig up the factory three feet deep, you must find out how this happened!
Quickly, prepare a plane. I need to see Mr. Boris..."
Half an hour later, a private jet took off from a private airport a dozen kilometers away from the factory, heading directly to the estate where Boris Gustav resided.
At this time, Boris Gustav had just managed to escape the disgusting and terrifying breakfast with limited relief.
The worms in the cake had truly disgusted him. What was worse, those worms reminded him of his other deceased nephew, Matthias.
That guy had gone to China to threaten Wang Bingxia, completely infuriating Ling Tian, who had then cursed him, filling his liver with worms.
Boris Gustav could not help but associate the worms in the cake with the worms in Matthias's liver.
Then, for more than a day, he had gargled repeatedly, injected large doses of antibiotics, and undergone a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that no worms or eggs had entered his body.
He hadn't eaten anything all day and was almost exhausted, relying on intravenous drips to maintain his nutrition. This ordeal had nearly cost him half his life.
After a day and a night, Gustav finally recovered. After all, he was a seasoned politician who had experienced many things.
It was time for breakfast again. Boris Gustav had become a startled bird, and before eating, a specialized analysis team, equipped with microscopes, magnifying glasses, and other equipment, meticulously inspected every dish he was about to consume. Only after confirming the absence of any eggs or microorganisms did he force himself to eat a few bites, suppressing his nausea.
Just then, Mark walked in with a gloomy expression.
"Father, something has happened at the factory!"
"What happened!" Boris Gustav's mood was already extremely bad.
"I'm not sure of the specifics. Karius is here and waiting outside!"
"Send him to the office! Now!"
A few minutes later, Boris Gustav and Mark met the distraught Karius Gustav in Boris's office.
"What exactly happened, Karius? What happened at the factory!"
"Uncle, something big has happened, something big has happened! Our new batch of life essence, which was supposed to be manufactured and purified within a day, turned into a vat of feces soup last night...
It was contaminated with all sorts of bacteria, and all the medicinal liquid was ruined..."
"How much is the loss..." Boris Gustav asked, suppressing his anger.
"It's enormous. This batch of finished product is wasted. The production cost for this batch alone amounts to 3.5 billion US dollars!"
Hearing this, Boris Gustav's heart bled. 3.5 billion US dollars was not a small sum; it was his campaign funding for several months!
"This is not the entire loss. We have a month's supply in stock. After a month, the drug supply for those patients will be cut off.
And if we are to produce the medicinal liquid again, it will take a year...
During such a long period, there will be very high liquidated damages... These penalties alone will amount to over a billion..."
As he said this, Karius was on the verge of tears.
