After the meeting, Chen Xiao made an appointment with Gao Miao and took his fishing rod to the beach to bask in the sun and fish.
Around 2007, Suhang Bay was still one of the largest fishing grounds in eastern Xia Kingdom. However, with the development of cities and overfishing, after more than ten or twenty years, it is difficult to see big fish here. The underwater corals
The flocks also died one by one.
Chen Xiao thought that if Changtian Technology develops and grows, it will still protect the sea areas near Changzezhou and Tianyue Island if it has enough power, so that Changzezhou and Tianyue Island will not only be the scientific research base of Xia Kingdom, but also
tourist attraction for people.
Chen Xiao feels that it is the right choice to place the headquarters of Changtian Technology in Changzezhou.
The weather is very good today, cloudless and gentle breeze.
After the intense work of the past few days, both Chen Xiao and Gao Miao felt that it was time to relax.
On the coast, Yang Ling used a special fishing rod and waited for the fish to take the bait.
If you can catch two groupers and grill them at night, the taste will be very good.
Chen Xiao was thinking about Shen Wei who was far away in Yanjing.
I was enjoying the sun, blowing the sea breeze, and catching sea fish.
Shen Wei should wear a thick mask and scarf at this time and endure these harsh days.
Chen Xiaocai watched the news yesterday. There was heavy smog and sandstorms in Yanjing.
Next year is the Yanjing Olympics. In order to change Westerners' image of Xia State's heavy pollution and to allow the people in the capital to breathe fresher air, Yanjing has relocated a large number of heavily polluting enterprises such as steel plants to other places.
However, judging from the current results, it does not seem to be very obvious.
When spring comes, there is bound to be severe wind and sand, and as soon as there is no wind, there is bound to be severe haze.
Chen Xiao was thinking about when to invite Shen Wei to Changzezhou to have a good rest.
Chen Xiao thought about the sweet and sour fish cooked by Shen Wei again, ah... drooling.
Gao Miao handed Chen Xiao a bottle of orange juice, which she made herself after work.
Chen Xiao took a sip and it tasted pretty good.
Gao Miao observed Chen Xiao carefully and knew that he really should relax.
From Shanghai to Yanjing, from the development of Xia Guo's first 65nm-level photolithography machine to the development of the mutated joint energy bacteria, Chen Xiao has always been mentally tense.
Gao Miao knew very well that although Chen Xiao only held the position of technical director in the group company, he was the real helmsman of the company, and all the pressure was on Chen Xiao.
If Chen Xiao makes a slight mistake in judgment, it will be irreversible for the group company.
And a few days ago, Intel has officially released the Core chip and put it on sale globally.
Although Gao Miao doesn't know much about computers and semiconductors, she has been reading related news these days.
We know that Intel's Core chips have received favorable reviews since they were first launched.
And it was snapped up by many PC companies, including Lianxiang.
This has put great pressure on Changtian Technology’s Pangu chip.
Gao Miao thought that Chen Xiao might really just be taking a break from his busy schedule.
A smile appeared on Gao Miao's lips. She was enjoying the feeling now and even hoped that such a pleasant time could pass slower.
In the office of the critical care center, Qu Ping's team was extremely busy.
They are sorting out the detailed information of overseas patients one by one, and are sending emails or calling these patients one after another, clearly informing these patients that there is no way for Changtian Technology Middle Level Treatment Center to continue to provide them with medical treatment.
Serve.
Because there are so many people, the detailed situation is described and communicated via email. The phone call is just to inform these patients to pay attention to check the email.
Only those patients who really don't have an email address will be informed in detail over the phone.
In order to complete this work, Changtian Technology's Yinghuo OS System Company has also specially developed a telephone service software that uses artificial intelligence to answer questions and explain the matter in detail to patients queuing overseas.
"Hello sir, is this Mr. Rhodes?"
For some patients with more distinguished status, the staff will also call them personally.
Although there was a time difference at this time, those patients in the queue in the United States did not dare to mute their phones. They were on the line of life and death, waiting for a call from the Changtian Technology Critical Care Center.
For them, if the Changtian Science and Technology Critical Care Center calls, it means that they are likely to be in the queue and can be treated. This is the hope of survival.
It is now 4:06 pm, Yanjing time, and 4:06 am, New York time.
But after the phone rang rapidly, Rhodes quickly picked up the phone on the bedside and clicked to answer it.
Rhodes is 62 years old. He is one of the important figures in the Rockefeller Group and one of the core figures of the consortium.
He is one of the principals in charge of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of the group.
Met Life Insurance Company is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. Last year, in 2006, Met Life Insurance Company's operating income reached $50 billion. This figure is very scary.
In 2006, Lianxiang's revenue was only over 14 billion US dollars, while Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's revenue was basically three to four times that of Lianxiang.
As one of the leaders, Rhodes had a huge fortune at a very young age.
Becoming rich too soon could be unfortunate for Rhodes.
Because Rhodes was depleted by alcohol and sex when he was young, he was diagnosed with high blood pressure in his 40s, especially because his blood sugar was poorly controlled.
When I was in my 50s, I had another problem with my body and had a kidney operation.
Long-term smoking, combined with alcoholism, sex, and womanizing, Rhodes's immunity has already developed major problems.
When he was sixty years old, he was diagnosed with lung problems.
There was a tumor in the lungs, but it turned out to be benign after removal.
But severe emphysema, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis troubled Rhodes.
When Rhodes was 60 years old, he began to take oxygen at all times, even when walking, he always carried an oxygen bag with him.
The doctor determined for Rhodes that he only had 2 to 3 years to survive.
Unless the entire lung is replaced.
However, because Rhodes' immune system was extremely poor, there was no way to perform a large-scale lung replacement operation. He might have suffocated to death before the operation was completed.
Rhodes didn't believe what the doctor said. Ever since he was sensible, he felt that he could buy everything with money, so he also thought that he could buy health and life with money.
So Rhodes did not listen to the doctor, but instead spent a lot of money across the country and even the world to find hospitals that could cure him.
In the most extreme moment, Rhodes didn't even believe the doctor's words at all, but spent millions of dollars to ask witches to treat him.
But it is a pity that no matter whether Rhodes traveled all over the world to find hospitals that could treat him or went to the so-called famous witches and spent millions of dollars, his disease was not cured.
Even with good treatment, it gets worse and worse.
Two years ago, he was still able to go out and walk with an oxygen bag. But today, two years later, he can only lie in bed and wait for death. Even when he sits up, he feels difficulty breathing, which is very uncomfortable.
It wasn't until he heard a friend introduce Changtian Technology's Severe Pulmonary Disease Treatment Center, and saw reports from the New York Times and other media on Changtian Technology's treatment technology, that he saw hope again.
Rhodes spent a lot of money to hire an intermediary, and asked the intermediary to take Rhodes' relevant medical records and find ways to personally go to Changtian Technology's Tianyue Island Critical Care Center to communicate with the attending physician, and obtained a treatment plan and succeeded.
After waiting in line, I felt relieved.
The attending doctor at Changtian Technology Severe Pulmonary Disease Treatment Center was very detailed about Rhodes' treatment plan.
They will first complete the transplantation of the combined bacterial colony into Rhodes, so that Rhodes will have both the lung breathing function and the function of the combined bacterial colony to provide oxygen.
This is only phase 1 of treatment.
After the first phase of treatment is completed, Rhodes will stay in the rest ward for recuperation until his body is able to move around and his immunity is improved to a certain extent.
Even at this time, Rhodes could not go back to recuperate on his own because he had severe lung disease, although the plan required that the transplanted combined colonies should be completed first to ensure that the blood oxygen saturation concentration was normal.
However, its lungs are severely damaged and it may be infected at any time, causing systemic infection and affecting other organs. Therefore, it can only be recuperated in the nursing ward of the intensive care center.
Rhodes is a special case. Other patients will have their lungs removed immediately after completing the combined colony transplantation to avoid serious lung infection.
When Rhodes is almost fully recovered, he will undergo a second operation. The second operation will completely remove his lungs.
The entire treatment plan was perfect, and it was a medical plan that Rhodes spent a lot of money to have the medical team at Changtian Technology Critical Treatment Center make in advance.
At the same time, Rhodes's entire treatment cost is expected to be very expensive, as high as 3 million to 5 million meters (about 24 million to 40 million RMB).
Not everyone can afford such expensive treatment, but Rhodes is already a billionaire, so this little money is just a drop in the bucket to him.
Because Rhodes got the news very early, he was at the front of the queue. If there were no accidents, he would be able to go to Tianyue Island in Xia Kingdom for treatment in three months.
According to Rhodes' current physical condition, it may be difficult to persist for one year, but it is relatively safe to persist for three months without dying.
Moreover, Rhodes has already applied for a visa to go to Xia Kingdom. He also purchased a property closest to Tianyue Island and converted the property into a private high-end ward. He also changed his private jet
It is an airborne convalescent hospital and has high-end nursing staff serve you throughout the process to ensure that the period before your trip from the United States to Tianyue Island is smooth and smooth.
Who knows that unexpected events may occur and plans may change.
Now the staff of the intensive care center actually informed Rhodes that due to some reasons, the intensive care center will stop providing treatment services to patients outside the Xiaguo mainland area.
This made Rhodes completely stupid.
The intensive care center is Rhodes' last hope. If the intensive care center refuses to treat him, Rhodes will undoubtedly die within half a year.
Although it was now past four o'clock in the morning in the United States, Rhodes felt bad after answering the call.
With the support of his escort, he finally sat up from the bed, breathing heavily.
The attendants saw that the vital sign meter data on Rhodes' bedside was changing very quickly. His heartbeat had reached more than 130 beats per minute, and his blood oxygen saturation concentration had also dropped sharply.
The escort immediately notified the private doctor, who immediately increased the oxygen supply to Rhodes and told him to calm down, lie in bed and not get excited.
At this time, the staff at the Changtian Technology Critical Treatment Center said: "Mr. Rhodes, I have already notified you. Please check your email for the specific situation."
Just when the staff was about to hang up the phone, Rhodes quickly asked: "Excuse me, why did you stop the overseas treatment services? Is it because I didn't pay enough?"
"If the cost of treatment changes, I don't have any problem."
In Rhodes' view, as long as a problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
The staff said very apologetically: "It is because of Bristol-Myers Squibb's unfair demands and hostile competition for United Services Therapy that we have to take such measures. Detailed information has been sent to you via email. Please check it. Goodbye.
"
After the staff hung up the phone, Rhodes quickly asked his personal assistant to print out the email and send it to him.
One of them is a heartfelt apology letter from Changtian Science and Technology Critical Care Center.
The letter stated that the critical care center has always taken the lives and health of patients as its own responsibility and hopes to treat more patients. However, due to the extreme pressure exerted by Bristol-Myers Squibb on Changtian Technology... Changtian Technology has no choice but to tighten its policies in order to
To ensure that more patients in Xia State receive treatment...
After seeing such information, Rhodes almost died of anger.
In fact, according to business rules, it is completely reasonable for Bristol-Myers Squibb to do this, but Rhodes now wants to survive for himself, and he does not care about the business rules and competition measures of other companies.
The letter told Rhodes two key pieces of information.
The first is the reason why intensive care centers refuse to treat overseas patients.
The second is that if Bristol-Myers Squibb stops such behavior, the critical care center will continue to accept overseas patients, and Rhodes will be saved.
Rhodes was lying on the bed, breathing heavily.
He is sick now, but his mind is still clear.
Rhodes decided that, whether through his own influence or through the influence of the Rockefeller Group, it was necessary to stop Bristol-Myers Squibb's rude and impolite behavior and to allow the intensive care center to continue to accept patients from overseas.
And the faster, the better!
Because he is only 62 years old! He wants to live!
