Zheng Dalu came to his senses and turned around to find Gao Yuan standing behind him.
"Director Gao!" He quickly stood up.
"It's okay. Sit down. You're welcome. Professor Zheng is quite satisfied with the working environment."
"Of course, I am very satisfied, thank you, Director Gao."
A spacious independent office, a full-time assistant, and a car were provided, which Zheng Dalu had never dared to imagine before.
"That's good. If you need anything, you can always contact Manager Jiang or Director Tang. They will try their best to meet your scientific research needs."
After looking at the technical information on the table, Gao Yuan asked again.
"I think Professor Zheng has gained a deeper understanding of our two scientific research projects in the past few days. I would like to hear Professor Zheng's views."
Zheng Dalu thought for a while and said.
"I have to say that the two scientific research projects you selected, Director Gao, are major international scientific research problems and extremely difficult. However, once successful, the commercial application prospects are extremely broad.
And regardless of whether the two research projects you gave are correct or not, at least based on the assumptions, they are logically perfect..."
He looked at Gao Yuan.
"But with all due respect, even the top international biotechnology companies are at a loss, and you can imagine how difficult it is for them to tackle the problem.
Not to mention Alzheimer's disease, even the African Z virus has been a huge problem that has plagued the world for decades, causing an extremely heavy blow to the breeding industry in several countries.
If I were still in school, no matter what the results were, no matter how high the risk of failure was, I would have to submit the project application regardless of the scientific research value of your two projects.
But you are a businessman. Shouldn’t businessmen consider investment risks the most?
I believe you, Director Gao, are aware of the uncertainty here?"
Haha! Because someone promised me...
This uncertainty...it is certain...
"Professor Zheng, don't worry about this, we have already done the risk assessment.
Let’s put it this way, even if this scientific research fund is wasted, the impact on us will not be big. We can afford it, so Professor Zheng does not need to be stressed.
Human progress is originally based on repeated failures.
Even if it really fails this time, I would still be happy to see success."
Although I feel sorry for Meng Lang when I say this, compared to the success of the project...
If the project failed, what would the expression of the man who kept saying "unprecedented and unprecedented" be like?
Come to think of it, I still have some small expectations?
Zheng Dalu looked at Gao Yuan with a "sincere" smile and was a little dazed.
This expression... doesn't sound like a polite statement?
But... do today’s businessmen actually have such courage and magnanimity?
He couldn't help but admire him.
"Sure enough, as reported in the news, Director Gao is fundamentally different from those businessmen who only have interests in their eyes."
Before taking the job, he naturally learned more about the company and Gao Yuan herself from the Internet.
The news was still hot a while ago, so he naturally saw it.
He admired and recognized this heroic "Bo Le" even more.
After thinking about it, Zheng Dalu said.
"If that's the case, then I don't have any worries.
Of the two technical materials you gave, the one about Alzheimer's is just an advance prediction technology, which is relatively simple.
Since a complete experimental process has been given, it does not take much time to verify, and the results can be obtained in three or four days.
As for the vaccine technology for using African Z virus on pigs, it is more troublesome.
Because it is a recombinant vaccine constructed using homologous recombination technology, it requires the use of African Z virus isolates for recombination.
As far as I know, the only one in China that can possess such dangerous isolates is the National Biosafety Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
It is a research institute with the highest biosafety level P4.
However, this kind of research institute is not something that ordinary companies can apply to enter.
The only way is to start from overseas research institutes where the African Z virus exists and apply for international joint scientific research there.
When I was doing international exchanges before, I met the director of a biological research institute in a northern country. I called him yesterday to find out more about the situation. They happened to have relevant scientific research projects there and also had virus isolates that we could study.
The experimental equipment there is also relatively complete.
But the relevant scientific research work has to be done abroad, and the cost..."
"Don't worry about the cost. Professor Zheng, please immediately apply for joint research there in the name of your company. As for you and your R&D team, I will arrange to apply for visas immediately."
Gao Yuan said without thinking.
Meng Lang said that the African Z virus will enter the country at the earliest this year, and this year at the latest.
There is not much time left for her...
"Uh... okay, I will get it done as soon as possible, but Director Gao, it seems that there is no market for the African Z vaccine in China, right?
Why would you want to develop this technology?"
"Ahem! Our company's development strategy is to keep a foothold in our country while looking at the world and simultaneously exploring international markets.
After all, the high-end medical industry abroad is more complete, which will help us improve our global competitiveness."
Develop international markets? Improve global competitiveness?
Is this something that a small pharmaceutical company that is still based in Suzhou and whose market is limited to the Yangtze River Delta should consider?
Seeing that Zheng Dalu looked a little strange, Gao Yuan was helpless.
How do I explain this? Who told me that I am just a peripheral member of the organization and have limited rights to know...
We can only use Meng Lang's tactics.
“Of course, there are also longer-term considerations.
For example...what if this African Z virus flows into China?"
"Flow into China?"
Zheng Dalu thought for a moment about the heavy blow that African Z virus had caused to the animal husbandry of many countries in history, and then thought about China's international status as a "big pig farmer", and couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.
With the increase in per capita meat consumption in recent years, pork has long become an important strategic grain reserve for the country.
This is a major matter related to people's table rations.
"Uh... Director Gao, are you overthinking this?"
Not to mention that there is no shadow, even if there is, then it doesn’t mean that it is the year of the monkey, right?
“In 2007, the African Z virus was introduced to Asia, and outbreaks occurred in Mauritius and Georgia one after another.
In 2012, it was Ermao. In 2017, the latest flash point was only 1,000 kilometers away from Manzhouli...
People who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. The law of development of things is actually the same as history. It can be followed and it is worth taking precautions.
As far as I know, no domestic company seems to have conducted relevant research. This is actually an opportunity for Evergreen Biotechnology.
Well... you can think of it as a kind of differentiated competition."
Competitive differentiation?
For a completely blank market, there is no competition at all!
Although I think Gao Yuan's "far-sighted" strategic decision-making is a bit confusing, there is one thing she said is right.
In fact, China is already surrounded by Africa Z. It is actually good for the country to prepare for a rainy day and make more accumulation in related aspects.
Well... The premise is that your scientific research project is really reliable...
"Well, since it is the company's strategic decision, I naturally have no objection to it, but Director Gao, I still have a question."
Zheng Dalu pointed to the technical information on the table, "These two documents... why are they not signed?"
He was really curious as to who made such bold assumptions and conjectures.
Reading between the lines, he could completely agree that the other party was a scientific researcher whose level was not at all inferior to his own, and even better than him in terms of inspiration and creativity.
And no matter how you look at it, the completeness of these two pieces of information is probably over 70%, and the rest is just actual verification.
He didn't understand, since Gao Yuan could get such information from the researcher, why not let the researcher complete the final verification work himself?
It’s okay if there are no results, but if there are results, wouldn’t it be like making a wedding dress for others?
This... Then I can't explain it even more...
Gao Yuan said helplessly.
"Professor Zheng, I remember that you signed a confidentiality agreement when you joined the company, right?"
"Uh...right." Zheng Dalu didn't know what Gao Yuan was talking about at this time, so he nodded in confusion.
After all, it involves technical secrets, and a confidentiality agreement is what it should be.
"Then you didn't read item 21 on page 9 carefully?"
Page 9 Article 21?
The confidentiality agreement you provided is so long, like an insurance brochure. How could I possibly read every word?
He has signed a lot of these things, aren't they all standard templates?
But hearing what Gao Yuan said, could it be that the contract had dug a hole for him? He felt a twitch in his heart.
He immediately took out the confidentiality agreement signed two days ago from the drawer and quickly turned to page 9.
[Article 21: Party B has full authorship rights for all scientific research results produced during the employment of Party A, but the source of the original technology must be kept completely confidential, otherwise Article 42 on page 18 of the agreement between the two parties will apply.]
He quickly turned to the last page, page 18.
[Article 42: If Party B leaks the above content, Party A has the right to claim compensation according to the agreed 10 times liquidated damages. 】
"this……"
Zheng Dalu was stunned for a long time after reading it.
Have full authorship rights? Just require that you keep the source of your technology confidential?
After reacting, he was stunned.
This is not a pit you want to fall into. This is a trap you want to push yourself up to!
If those professors and tutors who like to steal their students' "first works" see it, there is such a "confidentiality agreement" in this world...
Are they afraid they will wake up laughing even if they fall asleep?
…
Sioux City, a luxurious ward in a private hospital.
"Dad! Are you awake, Dad?"
"Well..." Xu Bonian opened his slightly cloudy eyes, and his consciousness slowly returned to consciousness.
He looked at Xu Jinsong, who looked concerned next to him, and asked, "Where am I...?"
"This is a hospital. You were hospitalized in a car accident yesterday. Do you remember?"
ten minutes later……
Xu Bonian, who finally figured out the matter, frowned and looked at the plaster on his hand.
"You said the driver who caused the accident was a drunk driver?"
"Well! It's a pity that the guy has surrendered, otherwise I would make him look good!" Xu Jinsong said fiercely.
"Fortunately, Dad, your injury is not serious. The doctor said that your arm will recover after a few months of rest."
"Um……"
Xu Bonian looked at the ward, "By the way, where is Jinfeng?"
Xu Jinsong hesitated for a moment, then when he saw Xu Bonian looking over, he smiled.
"Oh, he came here as soon as he heard something happened to you. I saw that you were unconscious, dad, so I asked him to go back and wait for the news. I will contact him now and ask him to come over." Xu Jinsong gestured to get the phone.
"Forget it, no need, don't I know him well? He must be hanging out with his friends again. We can't count on this brat at the critical moment..." Xu Bonian sighed and waved his hand.
"Jing Feng is still young and it's normal for him to like to play. Dad, please drink some water."
Looking at this "warm" scene of a loving father and a filial son, Cui Jizhong, who was standing by, secretly admired his boss's acting skills.
Young Master Xu Jinfeng, who heard that his father was "nothing serious", is probably going to lose points again...
Xu Jinsong spent the whole night waiting for this moment...
"Dong dong!" At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Cui Jizhong quickly went over to open the door.
"Oh Bonian, are you okay? As soon as I heard that something happened to you, I flew back from Hainan. What's wrong with my hand? Is it serious?"
As soon as the door opened, Xu Boli and his son outside the door quickly came to the hospital bed with concerned faces.
"Haha! Nothing happened. I just had a car accident. The doctor said it's nothing serious." Xu Bonian said with a smile.
But he didn't notice that Xu Jinsong's face looked slightly unnatural.
"Really? I heard it was a drunk driver who caused the accident? You said that this is a society governed by the rule of law, but there is still so much unrest outside. Just two days ago, my villa was actually robbed, which almost scared me to death!
Do you think it's outrageous or not?" Xu Boli shook his head and sighed.
"What? There was a thief at home?" Xu Bonian was stunned for a moment.
The look on Xu Jinsong's face was even more unnatural. Inadvertently, he raised his head and met Xu Jinbai's eyes that were staring straight at him, as if he wanted to kill someone...
There was a thump in my heart.
"Why was it robbed? Did you lose anything?" Xu Bonian asked.
"You said it's strange. He didn't throw anything away. That guy ran to my bedroom and walked around. There were several bodyguards, but no one was left behind. His skills are really amazing. No wonder he dared to be so rampant...
hehe!"
Xu Bonian frowned and looked at Xu Boli, always feeling that he seemed to have something in his words today...
Turning around, I saw Xu Jinsong standing beside him, uncharacteristically silent, his face seemed a little ugly, and my heart sank immediately.
Before Xu Boli stood up and left, he took a deep look at Xu Jinsong.
"Since you have nothing serious to do, I can rest assured. You said that we are all at this age and it is time to enjoy happiness. Otherwise, we don't know what day an accident will happen.
Are you right, Jinsong?"
"Haha!" Xu Jinsong could only laugh dryly.
After everyone left, there was some silence in the ward.
"Ji Zhong, you go out first." Xu Bonian said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Cui Jizhong had long sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. After hearing this, he quickly went out and closed the door.
"Tell me, what happened?"
"dad……"
"What? You still want to hide it from me?" Xu Bonian said coldly.
"You think I'm a fool, can't you see that there is something in Xu Boli's words?"
Xu Jinsong's face changed for a while, and finally he had no choice but to tell what happened...
"You actually... actually found someone... you're crazy!"
"Dad! He bullied others too much! He used dirty methods to deal with me again and again. I was forced to do nothing..."
"That's enough!" Xu Bonian shouted, his face was livid with anger and his chest was heaving.
"Dad, don't be angry. The matter is probably not that serious. The other party may think that the other party is just a little thief..." Xu Jinsong felt a little unsure.
"Stupid! You didn't throw anything away, and you went directly to Xu Boli's bedroom. Your skills are so good. Do you think he is an idiot? Don't you know what you want to do?
Even if he didn't know the person behind the scenes, wouldn't he guess? Why do you think Xu Boli came here today?
How do you think this car accident happened?!" Xu Bonian said angrily, slapping the table with his good hand.
"This...your car accident..." Xu Jinsong's expression changed.
"He is telling us that if you are in the first grade of junior high school, he will be in the fifteenth grade! If you dare to use this method again, you will force him to die together!
You can hire a killer, but he can’t?!"
Xu Jinsong: "..."
…
Sunset, dusk, and the laughter of light rain in front of me.
Meng Lang put away his phone silently and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"Involution is everywhere..."
"Ah? What involution?" Lin Haitang, who was licking the marshmallow in his hand and watching Xiaoyu playing with the water, turned his head in confusion.
Meng Lang looked at Barrister Lin, who was rarely so "people-friendly", and smiled.
"There was a man who had an enemy and wanted to kill him, but their martial arts were almost the same, so neither could do anything to the other.
Suddenly one day he saw the Sunflower Book in the bookstore, so he bought it and took it home and started practicing it...
His enemies were frightened when they found out about it, so they also bought a Sunflower Book and... practiced magical skills.
As a result, their martial arts are still about the same, and neither can do anything to the other, but they both... This is involution."
Lin Haitang couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"What about you? What if it's you who has an enemy? Practice or not?"
Meng Lang thought about this question carefully.
"No practice."
"Why?"
"Because I have the Dugu Nine Swords, I can avenge myself standing up! I am invincible, but I am so lonely..."
