Until the plane took off, Takehiko Ito still seemed a little depressed.
Before boarding the plane, Nanako Ito specially took a photo of Takehiko Ito wearing a haori hakama and standing on prosthetic limbs below the plane. After taking the photo, she immediately asked the family servants to carry him onto the plane.
Half an hour after the plane took off, it started flying smoothly. Nanako Ito quickly packed up the food and cakes she brought with her aunt to celebrate Takehiko Ito's 50th birthday in the air.
Ito Nanako lit candles for him, and after singing happy birthday, she coaxed him and said: "Odo-san, blow out the candles quickly!"
At this time, Ito Nanako did not realize that the title she addressed to her father, Takehiko Ito, had changed from father to Odo-san.
I even used a slightly scolding tone inadvertently a few times.
Unexpectedly, this suppressed Ito Takehiko's original arrogance. After being scolded by his precious daughter, he lost his original temper and was replaced by a child-like grievance.
Hearing that Nanako Ito asked him to blow out the candles, Takehiko Ito acted like a child because he was not happy, and hummed: "I don't want to blow out the candles! On such an important birthday as my fiftieth year, I ended up being carried to the plane.
I tried it before, but it was too sloppy and perfunctory!"
Ito Nanako was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "Odo-san! Because your fiftieth birthday is very important, I specially want to celebrate it twice for you! Maybe Ye Chenjun asked us to come over to celebrate your birthday.
If you are not satisfied, I will get you a replacement after getting off the plane!"
Takehiko Ito groaned and said: "Don't lie to me. It's already past seven o'clock. I didn't wait for me to get off the plane and I passed today. Why do you celebrate two birthdays?"
Ito Nanako said seriously: "Odo-san, have you forgotten that there is a time difference between Japan and the United States? New York is thirteen hours slower than us, but if we fly faster, we can reach New York in eleven hours. Don't
It was already dark when we took off from Japan, but when we landed in New York, it wasn’t even dark yet!”
When Takehiko Ito heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Yes! How could I forget the time difference!"
Seeing his smile, Ito Nanako quickly said: "So Odo-san, blow out the candles quickly!"
Takehiko Ito realized that there was something wrong with his expression management, and he quickly said with a straight face: "Do you think I am willing to fly from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth on my fiftieth birthday?"
Ito Nanako smiled and said: "Okay Odo-san, just think of it as accompanying me to New York to meet Ye Chenjun, who I have been longing for. If it can make your precious daughter happy, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
When Takehiko Ito heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly smiled. Looking at Nanako Ito, who was standing tall and graceful in kimono, he couldn't help but sigh: "Nanako, Odo-san really wants to see you get married earlier..."
…
At this moment.
It's half past eight in the morning in New York.
Ye Chen called Fei Kexin and said: "Ms. Fei, please make arrangements. I want to go to the freezing center to see Li Yalin."
Fei Kexin said without thinking: "Okay Mr. Ye, Kexin will prepare a helicopter and pick you up at the top of the hotel within fifteen minutes."
"Okay." Ye Chen said, "See you later."
"Okay Mr. Ye, see you later."
Fifteen minutes later, Fei Kexin's helicopter landed on the top floor of the Buckingham Palace Hotel.
Ye Chen took Su Ruoli, as well as Chen Zekai and Hong Wu, and boarded the helicopter together.
Half an hour later, the helicopter flew over a remote building in the suburbs of New York City.
Here is the Fei family's medical technology center.
This building is the only building within a radius of two kilometers. It is 25 stories high and is surrounded by very tight security.
After getting off the helicopter, Fei Kexin took the initiative to walk in front, leading the way while saying to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, this is a medical technology center funded by my grandfather before, mainly to develop and test some relatively high-end and advanced treatments.
Methods and drugs, including the most advanced proton therapy system and cellular immunotherapy in the field of cancer, are available here, and they are the best in the world."
At this time, Fei Kexin thought of something and said: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye, you should have heard of the Mayo Clinic, right? It is known as the top cancer hospital in the world."
"I've heard of it." Ye Chen nodded and said, "Mayo has a long-standing reputation around the world. There should be very few people who don't know about it."
Fei Kexin smiled slightly and said: "The members of our cancer team here have more than 60% overlap with Mayo's. Their top experts also serve here. We even go further than Mayo in cutting-edge scientific research."
It should be farther away, after all, Mayo itself still has to consider profits, but profits are not considered here."
Speaking, Fei Kexin added: "In addition, here is the top organ transplant center in the United States, the top cancer diagnosis and treatment team, the top cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and anti-aging research team, and our freezing center is underground.
The fifth floor is designed to operate for three hundred years. Grandpa said before that if he leaves, he will be frozen here immediately to leave a ray of hope for the future. Maybe the technology in two to three hundred years can bring him back to life.
.”
Ye Chen nodded and sighed: "It seems that maintaining such a medical research institution costs a lot of money for the Fei family every year."
Fei Kexin sighed: "It should start with at least one billion U.S. dollars every year. At its peak, there were times when it burned through two to three billion U.S. dollars a year."
Having said this, Fei Kexin added: "However, although we do not pursue profitability here, it is indeed profitable. Some effective scientific research results can also be commercially realized and can create a lot of money."
At present, more than 70% of the costs here can be recovered. This is the case in the medical industry. Although the investment cost is high, once top-level specific drugs or very good new treatments are developed, one or two billion US dollars can be earned a year.
It’s not difficult. If you bet on a single product correctly, it’s possible to turn a loss into a profit.”
Ye Chen agreed and said: "The biggest fear in the medical industry is not being willing to invest in research and development costs. Some pharmaceutical companies have been sitting on just a few drugs for years or even decades. It is difficult to make any social contribution, or
A lot of money needs to be invested in research and development to benefit society.”
Fei Kexin nodded and said seriously: "Mr. Ye is right. For the medical industry, research and development is very important. Therefore, after I took over the Fei family, I did not reduce the budget here. Instead, I added another one to the original one."
30% to 50% flexible budget.”
The two of them chatted and arrived at the elevator entrance on the top floor.
At this time, the elevator just came up. When it opened, three men walked out of it. One of the men recognized Ye Chen at a glance, and then said to Ye Chen with great excitement: "Mr. Ye! Oh my god! It's really true.
You Mr. Ye!"
Ye Chen frowned and looked at the man speaking in front of him, and was surprised to find that the man in front of him was actually the person in charge of the US FDA, James Smith, who he had contacted before!
