I awkwardly took it over.“Thank you.” I hurriedly corrected the typos, organized the materials, and handed them to Kaleb. Kaleb took them and read them calmly, I closed my laptop and started tidying up the desk. I tidied up and sat on the sofa near Kaleb, quietly waiting for his response.
Kaleb was wearing a light–colored casual home outfit, with a furrowed brow, and he focused on reading my proposal, exuding a strong sense of pressure. I felt inexplicably nervous. I knew Kaleb was giving me a chance out of respect for his grandmother, but I didn’t dare to have too high hopes. After all, my company wasn’t making any money at the current stage, so no capitalist would invest in a small business that had no visible prospects.
Kaleb covered the proposal with a slightly mocking tone, “If you had no ambitions or aspirations and were just an ordinary investor, would you invest money in it?”
I gently bit my lower lip, unwilling to speak words that went against my true feelings. I took a deep breath, nodded, and then shook my head.
Kaleb concluded, “The research on orphan drugs, which are effective for rare diseases, is the costliest and least profitable business, with a late and minimal return.”
I approached him inyoluntarily and reached out to flip through the documents in his hand. “Look here. Besides the special medicine, I have also been working on two vaccines, which are already in the clinical stage. The side effects are minimal, and the preventive effect is very good…”
Kaleb lowered his gaze and stared at my serious face. His voice was hoarse and deep. “I saw it. It’s a rare virus that appeared a few years ago. Although the mortality rate is high, it is not highly contagious. As long as prevention and control measures are done well, it will not spread widely. Therefore, major pharmaceutical companies saw no profit and did not invest in developing this vaccine.”
“Can’t just let this virus kill people recklessly just because there is no profit to be gained, right?” I stared at him, my tone resolute.
