Chapter 585 This is not a visitor, this is a robber.
February 14, 2007.
A domestic commercial vehicle with an ordinary license plate was driving in the urban area of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The person sitting in the car was Chen Xiao who had come from Jiangzhou.
Today is Valentine's Day in the West.
In the urban area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, many shops have been decorated with decorations to celebrate Valentine's Day outside, and they are very bright and beautiful.
Many young people were also walking on the street holding roses in their hands.
In Xia State in 2007, people's yearning for Western life was still very serious.
Some college students in Suzhou and Hangzhou even go out and party at night on Valentine’s Day.
Treat Valentine's Day as a very important holiday in life.
As for whether everyone really wants to celebrate this festival, or is using this excuse to find ways to trick girls into going to the hotel, this is unknown.
Seeing these scenes outside the window, Chen Xiao also burst into laughter.
In fact, different cultures can understand and communicate with each other.
There is nothing wrong with Xia people celebrating Christmas and Valentine's Day. It's just like people from other countries celebrating the Spring Festival. You can't be beaten to death just because you admire foreigners. After all, Chinese people should still have cultural confidence.
Instead of cultural inferiority and rejecting all foreign things.
But the atmosphere in 2007 was obviously not as simple as just joining in the fun.
A trend has formed among most campuses and young people in Xia State.
The country's traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc. are symbols of dross and ignorance.
It seems that Western festivals cannot express their positive, youthful and fashionable image.
There are two fundamental reasons why this social phenomenon exists.
One is that Xia's technological level is still relatively backward compared to the West.
Young people are the generation that accepts new things the fastest. They find that the products they are interested in that represent the world's advanced technology come from the West, and they naturally have a feeling of admiration for the West.
Another reason is that in terms of soft power, the West, especially American culture, has invaded the Xia continent in all directions.
Movies, TV series, songs, sports, etc., most of the soft power products that young people of Xia Guo's generation receive and love come from the United States.
The driver, Uncle Liu, looked at the scenery on the street and couldn't help but sigh: "Why don't you see these people wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning to visit the graves of their ancestors during the Qingming Festival?"
Chen Xiao does not agree with this point of view.
Each generation has its own youth. As the country's strength increases and soft power culture increases, this generation of young people will also become the ones who respect traditional culture and are the most patriotic.
In more than 10 or 20 years, there will even be a new generation of young people. They like to watch Marvel and follow American TV series. However, when the country is in the most difficult times, they will stand up and safeguard the honor of the country and the nation.
pride.
A commercial vehicle drives over an overpass in a downtown area.
There is a huge advertisement on the overpass - Intel Core 2, which will be released globally on February 15th, Yanjing time and February 14th, New York time.
Tomorrow early morning is the day when Core 2 will be released globally.
For the technology industry, especially the PC industry, Intel's press conference tomorrow morning is particularly important.
Many PC companies will adjust their strategic plans based on the chips released by Intel.
Most PC companies had already placed orders with Intel before they knew that Changtian Technology had developed a 65-nanometer Pangu chip.
High-end PC chips for early 2007 have been pre-ordered by Intel.
Chen Xiao has arranged for Yang Fei and others to keep an eye on the details of the New York press conference.
Changtian Technology will make corresponding work adjustments based on Intel's global sales.
The reason why Chen Xiao was not so anxious to release the Pangu 3 chip first.
In addition to some problems due to mass production, the most important thing is that Chen Xiao has been able to determine that the performance of the Pangu 3 chip is stronger than the Core chip, so it is more in the interest of Changtian Technology to play second hand than to play first.
After all, king bombs and four twos usually play cards at the last moment, rather than showing them in the first game.
Two hours later.
The commercial vehicle drove to Tianyue Island in Changzezhou.
At Tianyue Island, Qu Ping, Shu Rou, Huang Ling and others were already waiting for Chen Xiao at the entrance of Tianyue Island.
In addition to the three people, there are also relevant leaders of Suhang City and Luo Tianming, CEO of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.
After Chen Xiao came down, everyone stepped forward to say hello to Chen Xiao.
Qu Ping immediately came over to introduce the work progress during this period.
According to Qu Ping, the current life science and medical laboratories have deepened relevant experiments based on the previous paper.
A stable bacterial colony population has been cultivated on a large scale using the mutated bacterial colonies in the patient Ding Kang's body.
The new colony was named "United Energy Bacteria".
The reason why it is named like this is to express the combined bacterial colony after mutation. Its metabolites include not only oxygen, but also energy substances and peptide hormone substances needed by the human body.
Qu Ping said: "After cultivating combined energy bacteria on a large scale in our laboratory, a large number of pale yellow metabolites appeared in the colony pool."
"These have some products, which are energy substances with high thermal energy."
Qu Ping said: "Let's not talk about how many minerals and other compounds necessary for human beings are contained in these substances. We are just talking about energy."
"We learned through analysis that the energy used by 100 grams of this metabolite is about 900 to 1,000 calories."
This amount of heat is indeed quite considerable.
Because 100 pieces of chocolate contain only 589 calories.
The metabolites of Joint Energy Bacteria are almost twice as high as those of chocolate.
This basically explains why the patient Ding Kang did not need to eat after the operation.
Bacteria colonies can provide patients with necessary heat and some compounds for life.
The patient only needs to ensure that the colony can survive, add nutrient solution regularly, and ensure sufficient power, then there will be no problem.
Chen Xiao did not expect that this accident would actually open a new chapter in biomedicine.
Let’s not talk about the use of this kind of research results?
At least in the medical field.
Patients with severe lung disease and diabetes can receive thorough treatment.
Qu Ping held a thick stack of experimental reports in her hands.
He also has more detailed experimental content to report to Chen Xiao.
Technical things are not clearly explained in a few words.
But now Qu Ping has more important things to report.
"At 3 p.m., relevant personnel from Bristol-Myers Squibb will arrive at Tianyue Island to visit our critical care center and laboratory."
This visit was led by Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Vice President Cassian and Technical Director Snyder.
In Chen Xiao's impression, he has no favorable impression of any Western pharmaceutical company.
It is true that Western pharmaceutical companies have made significant and outstanding contributions to human scientific progress and salvation of the world.
But all Western pharmaceutical companies eat people without spitting out their bones.
The reason why they are willing to save lives and heal the wounded is not because they do not have lofty moral character or are friendly and caring. They hope to actively help human science progress and treat these patients.
But it is driven by interests.
The reason why they can develop high-quality drugs with extremely high efficiency.
It’s because these drugs can make money.
And it’s a monopoly to make money.
In the hospital.
You can see that drugs from companies like Bristol-Myers Squibb can save patients from the brink of life and death when they are used at their most critical moments.
But you are in Asan, Uzbekistan and some third world countries around the world.
Western pharmaceutical companies play the role of the devil.
They utilize advanced technology as well as strong capital.
Set up biomedical laboratories in these third world countries.
And use money or other means to bypass the high-cost laboratory demonstration stage and animal experiment stage, and directly conduct experiments on human bodies.
These behaviors are definitely illegal and unethical.
But in order to save research and development costs, and also to be able to figure out as soon as possible what effect the drugs we develop on the human body have.
Therefore, it is most perfect to bypass the first few stages and directly conduct experiments on human subjects.
These Western pharmaceutical companies do not have the quality of using their own bodies to test the toxicity of drugs like Xia Guo, Li Shizhen and Shen Nong.
That's their philosophy.
Make a lot of money while others go to hell.
Third world countries are already relatively poor.
Therefore, some institutions in these countries act as thugs for Western pharmaceutical companies.
In addition, the citizens of these countries live in poverty, have nothing to eat, and may face death at any time.
Since you're going to starve to death if you don't have enough to eat, you might as well make some money and serve as a human experiment subject.
Even if you take some experimental drugs and get seriously ill, you can still have a full bowl of rice and feed your family, which is better than starving to death.
No buying and selling, no harm.
poor person must have something mean.
Some ancient sayings of the Xia Kingdom can profoundly explain his own meaning among these countries and companies.
Based on these reasons.
Chen Xiao does not want to deal with Bristol-Myers Squibb.
However, Chen Xiao still had to give face to the leaders of Suhang City and Xiaguo Pharmaceutical Corporation.
Changtian Technology can take root in Changzezhou, Suhang City, and Suhang City has played a great role.
Not only does it provide financial support, but it also provides policy support.
Continuing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Suzhou and Hangzhou is something Chen Xiao values.
This time, the middleman, Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation, is one of the most important pharmaceutical companies in Xia State.
Changtian Technology cannot tell when it will need help or convenience from Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.
Chen Xiao is also unwilling to have any unpleasant things happen to Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.
Therefore, under the coordination of the two parties.
Chen Xiao agreed to this visit from Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Anyway, the relevant papers have been published.
Chen Xiao himself is not afraid of dealing with these Western pharmaceutical companies.
Chen Xiao said to Qu Ping: "Is the laboratory ready?"
What Chen Xiao means is that the laboratory has some confidential and core content.
If you can avoid showing it to the Bristol-Myers Squibb team, try not to show it to them.
Don't think of these people as kind people.
Qu Ping nodded and said, "The core things have been hidden."
Qu Ping is very assured of her work results.
He nodded and said, "Then get ready for the reception."
Chen Xiao then exchanged a few words with the relevant persons in charge of Suhang City and Luo Tianming from Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.
3pm sharp.
The convoy headed by Maybach drove into Changzezhou and entered Tianyue Island through the cross-sea bridge.
This car is much more advanced than the domestic commercial car Chen Xiao took when he came here today.
Bristol-Myers Squibb is making a lot of money around the world.
There are many drugs, such as PD lung cancer targeted drugs and anti-diabetic drugs, which are unique monopoly products in the world.
Monopoly products are of course the most profitable.
Therefore, it is understandable that the Shanghai branch of Bristol-Myers Squibb provides luxury cars to the vice president from the head office.
Chen Xiaocai was too lazy to greet him, so he directly asked Qu Ping to greet him on his behalf.
After 3 o'clock, the motorcade arrived at the entrance of the intensive care center.
Cassian, the vice president of Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Snyder, the technical director, got out of the car.
Qu Ping stood there neither humble nor arrogant, smiling.
This is standard equal reception etiquette.
Luo Tianming quickly put a smile on his face, bowed slightly at 30 to 40 degrees, immediately ran to the Maybach, and said in English very politely and enthusiastically: "A warm welcome to Mr. Cassian and Snyder.
The professor’s position is in Suzhou and Hangzhou!”
Seeing Luo Tianming in this posture, Qu Ping couldn't help but laugh.
But she can understand.
After all, the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation’s biggest profit comes from distributing overseas drugs.
And Bristol-Myers Squibb is one of the largest parent companies.
Let’s not talk about anything else.
It is just an agent to sell diabetes drugs, or it is a cooperation between Bristol-Myers Squibb and a Xia Guo pharmaceutical company, allowing this Xia Guo Pharmaceutical company to produce Bristol-Myers Squibb's hypoglycemic drugs as an agent, and earn some price differences and patent fees from it.
Let Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation make a lot of money.
When you see the God of Wealth, of course you feel as humble as a grandson.
Qu Ping finally understood why Chen Xiao was unwilling to come to greet him in person.
Because he himself is very disgusted with these behaviors.
Cassian and his American team have also come to Xia Country more than once.
They were very accustomed to and enjoyed Luo Tianming's attitude.
There is no way.
Those who have skills are the masters.
If you have to rely on others for your livelihood, then you have to put away your arrogance.
After simple greetings and introductions.
Snyder made his request.
"We hope to visit patients who have been successfully treated with combined colonies, and hope to enter the life and medical laboratory of Changtian Technology to learn more about the treatment principles of combined colonies."
"Mr. Luo, there should be no problem, right?"
Snyder and Cassian did not have a formal conversation with Qu Ping from beginning to end, but directly informed Luo Tianming of their requirements, almost in the form of an order.
Because they have not yet figured out the relationship between Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation and Changtian Technology.
I thought that the relevant medical laboratories of Changtian Technology should obey the instructions of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.
Luo Tianming quickly said: "No problem, definitely no problem. We have discussed these things in advance."
Qu Ping suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said, "Everyone, please come with me."
