Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2358 - 2198: Money Is Not a Problem

The following morning.

At the break of dawn.

Shi Ze clutched the hastily compiled paperwork.

He stepped out of his home.

Right then.

With just half a month left before Chinese New Year, the celebratory vibe filled every street and lane. Though the traditional New Year spirit was waning a bit, one element stayed rock-solid.

---Family gatherings.

...

Shortly afterward.

He arrived at the health bureau.

A conference kicked off.

Having spent a full month in Myanmar testing the medication firsthand, he naturally joined in to debate and showcase the rollout of the drugs plus their addition to medical insurance coverage.

Inside the meeting room.

Health authorities.

Food and Drug oversight.

Financial offices.

Human Resources and Social Security.

Development and Reform Commission.

Delegates from all five key agencies showed up to hear the briefing. At higher levels, approving any decision demanded collaboration across departments, not just one acting alone.

It took joint efforts from several.

"..."

"To wrap it up."

"I'm confident we can roll out a targeted therapy for Alzheimer’s, and the total expenses stay manageable."

"Bringing it into medical insurance coverage."

"Would greatly ease the load on families and lessen the suffering for those affected. For the coverage percentage, we could match it to cancer therapies."

"..."

Shi Ze's words echoed across the conference space.

On this matter.

Folks there shared pretty much the same views. If cancer steals lives outright, the advanced phases of Alzheimer’s wreck even more havoc.

So.

Launching it is essential.

Any pushback?

Go ahead and try.

The public would rain curses; countless households are on tenterhooks, glued to news updates, witnessing folks bounce back from years of being bedbound.

It stirred real thrill.

Absolutely.

Just one month in, dangers lurk.

Yet.

Such dangers are tolerable for patients and loved ones alike. Plus, two years of trials have passed without hitches.

What about the sufferers?

In final stages, few last two years anyway.

Hence.

This hardly counts as a true hazard; trial outcomes outlast expected lifespans, making it a risk worth embracing, and truly inspiring.

On this occasion.

Myanmar pulled off another solid win.

Still.

If prices dropped more, it'd shine brighter. Each session's fee isn't steep, but covering every case in Huaxia demands trillions.

Luckily.

No need for U.S. dollars.

Asia Dollars.

RMB.

Either fits.

Similar to the Transcription Fluid, grabbing Asia Dollars proves simpler than dollars. What's more, the government won't shoulder the full bill.

Once added to insurance.

Full coverage isn't the plan.

Thirty percent.

Fifty percent.

Sixty percent.

Nothing's set in stone yet, but whatever the rate, regular families can handle it. If scraping together a few thousand proves tough, at least start treatment.

All in all.

Funds.

Won't be an issue!

...

Once the session ended.

As he headed out.

"All set?"

An longtime acquaintance approached, grinning at Shi Ze.

"Naturally."

"Excellent."

They conversed.

The pair exited the structure and settled into a spot for some tea. His buddy held a senior research post at Development and Reform, attending the session as an observer.

"Fine brew."

"Sure is."

Both savored it deeply.

These days.

In Beijing.

Even modest high-end tea spots use leaves grown with Modulation Solution. Flavors shift by dilution levels, yet they share one trait.

---Pricey.

A hundred per cup counts as bargain.

"Such a shame."

"Lacking the know-how." The acquaintance sighed, noting how Myanmar cashed in five trillion Asia Dollars last March via private channels, thanks to Modulation Solution.

This year, expect even bigger hauls.

A trillion?

Quite possible.

"We'll crack it someday." Shi Ze remarked offhand. He figured they'd eventually decode the Transcription Fluid. Huaxia excels at reverse-engineering too.

Thus.

Shi Ze brimmed with optimism.

In truth.

These days, he felt less urgency about unraveling foreign tech right away. Maybe he saw it as earned fair and square.

After all.

No sky-high markups; it's fair dealing. Unlike Western embargoes that withhold tech and goods entirely.

Myanmar stays open-handed.

Beyond the tech.

Want to purchase?

They provide.

With a stance of 'crack it if you can, that's your win,' it contrasts sharply with Western barriers that breed resentment.

Withholding goods.

That's irritating.

Withholding tech.

No foul there.

Otherwise.

Folks might slip into thief-like gripes, mad at not getting tech for free. Decent people avoid such notions.

"Oh yeah, word is you got back from Myanmar early last month." Shi Ze inquired.

"Yep."

"What was the trip for?"

"Site visits."

The acquaintance sipped his tea.

"As you're aware, next year's Twelfth Five-Year Plan enters official rollout. It's now in initial study and outlining phase. I checked out their hydropower setups."

"Early last year."

"I visited Myanmar once, and again year-end. On their water strategies, we see solid feasibility."

"That said."

"Costs run high."

"Still."

"Leadership has largely endorsed it; to fuel growth, a three-trillion infusion packs punch, though projections suggest that figure might lowball it."

"So."

"Moving forward, big pushes into water facilities are on deck."

Hearing that.

Shi Ze gave a nod.

"True enough, hydropower demands major funding still. I squeezed in views of Myanmar’s water works too—they're impressively solid."

"Over decades."

"Rivers swallowed by settlements got reclaimed as waterways, plus fresh channels dug to empty lowlands."

"As a result."

"Water retention jumps at least thirty percent. During heavy downpours, flows spread out, curbing flood risks sharply."

"Yet."

"It drains the coffers."

Shi Ze chuckled bitterly.

Hydropower.

Devours cash like fire. Full overhaul tallies trillions, starting way beyond one.

Three.

Five.

Not overblown, considering the vast scale. Myanmar handles two to three hundred billion, but Huaxia, almost twentyfold larger, faces steeper tabs.

Fine!

Not his headache.

"Everyone gets that!" The acquaintance threw up his hands, seeming resigned. Mega ventures in tens of trillions aren't merely costly—they're money pits.

"Lately."

"Rumor has it they're gearing up for round two on river tweaks, bolstering dikes across waterways and standardizing widths. Made me green with envy."

"Noted in the write-up."

"Curious if."

"It'll get bounced back."

"Haha."

Shi Ze burst into laughter at that.

"Don't sweat it."

"Pace yourself. Our country grows richer and stronger, bit by bit. Twelfth Five-Year, Thirteenth, Fourteenth... "

"I won't buy that we can't build a top-tier global hydropower network. Weren't we broke and barren once? No quick fixes."

"One bite won't fill you; might just cramp you up."

"Advance steady!"

"We'll outpace no nation for sure."
