Hermes was hospitalized again, and his leg was saved. After three to four weeks of rehabilitation training, the external fixator can be removed, and the entire treatment is over.
Huang Jiacai received Yang Ping's entrustment and began to strategize. He already had a mature plan in mind.
First, a development company was established in the name of Yang Ping, which is actually an investment company that focuses on investment in the pharmaceutical industry. Then it is planned to use this investment company to control Ruixing and control more companies in the future.
In this company, Yang Ping holds 90% of the shares and Xiao Su holds 10% of the shares. The registered capital is 100 million. Huang Jiacai serves as CEO and legal representative and becomes Yang Ping's agent to help Yang Ping handle business matters.
things.
Huang Jiacai is ambitious. He has a grand blueprint in his mind and then realizes it step by step.
After Li Baosheng's surgery, Yang Ping doesn't need to do other surgeries for the time being. Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang can complete them.
Xu Zhiliang cannot perform difficult surgeries now, but for general surgeries, it is perfectly fine for an independent surgeon, and the surgery can be done beautifully.
In this way, Song Zimo's burden can be reduced a lot, and he can concentrate on performing difficult surgeries.
When he had free time, Yang Ping took the time to go to Guilin, Guangxi to inspect Xiehe's laboratory in Guilin.
For the Guilin laboratory, Yang Ping must have detailed information before he can design an animal experiment plan based on the laboratory conditions.
It is very convenient to go from Nandu to Guilin, Guangxi. The high-speed train only takes three hours, which is not much different from flying. What’s more, you can enter the system space laboratory to read books and do experiments on the way.
After arriving in Guilin, Director He from the laboratory drove a Haval H9 with his driver to pick up Yang Ping.
The laboratory is located in Yanshan District, Guilin, where there is a breeding base for experimental monkeys. In order to facilitate the acquisition of experimental monkeys, Xiehe established the laboratory here.
"Professor Liang called me a few days ago and repeatedly told me that I must do a good job in reception."
Director He was very enthusiastic. When he received Yang Ping at the high-speed rail station, he shook hands and grabbed his backpack.
Lao He is the director of the laboratory. He used to work in the Animal Department of Guangxi Medical University. After the establishment of this laboratory, he applied to work here. This laboratory has no establishment, but the salary is much higher, and the work is interesting, which is very suitable for the laboratory.
He’s life expectations.
Before changing jobs, he also learned that this laboratory was established by Xiehe and had long-term plans, so he quit his original job and joined this laboratory.
Director He was a graduate of veterinary medicine. He loves animals and often studies them. He is an expert in experimental animals. He is familiar with the procurement, breeding and care of experimental animals, and is also familiar with the production of most current medical models.
In addition to Director He, there are more than a dozen permanent staff members in the laboratory. Including rotating researchers, the laboratory usually has twenty or thirty staff members. Some of the rotating staff are from Union Medical College, some from Hong Kong, and occasionally some
When foreign scientific researchers come, they generally stay no more than three months.
Along the way, Lao He introduced the situation of the laboratory. I don’t know how long the Haval car drove and stopped in the yard in front of several small buildings. There was a shed in the open-air parking lot. At least ten cars could be parked under the shed at the same time.
The parking spaces are all standard parking spaces that have been drawn.
Lao He opened the door and Yang Ping got out of the car.
These small buildings are very beautifully built, with three floors. They have large yards and tall trees inside.
"The front building is the office and dormitory, the second building is the laboratory, and the last building is the breeding farm for experimental animals." Director He pointed into the distance.
Because the third building is farther away, it is located on an artificial island. A wide and deep trench has been dug around it. There is a bridge to cross, and an iron gate on the bridge is locked.
"I have prepared the baby monkey you want, and the scoliosis model has also been made. Now it is difficult to find a monkey. My classmate is in charge of the supply company. I told them that no matter what, we
We need to ensure supply here, and they are not complaining. It is true that the supply of experimental monkeys is currently in short supply. Last time, an American company asked for 1,500 monkeys, but they refused and could not deliver the goods." Director He told several large-scale experiments in Guangxi.
We are all familiar with animal farms.
Darwin said that humans evolved from monkeys, so monkeys are highly similar to humans in terms of genes, anatomy, immunity, physiology and metabolism. Therefore, monkeys are very suitable for medical and biological research experiments.
Especially in the pharmaceutical industry, the dependence on monkeys is even more obvious. Every drug has side effects. What are they? Are they carcinogenic, pathogenic, teratogenic, toxic, mutagenic, disabling, or even fatal? Before they can be used in humans,
The best way to obtain data is to obtain data from monkey experiments.
But not all monkeys are suitable for experiments. If you want to become an experimental monkey, you need to meet many conditions. Currently, the commonly used monkeys are rhesus monkeys and cynomolgus monkeys. The anatomy and physiology of these two monkeys are relatively close to humans. They are currently the most popular monkeys.
The most popular medical laboratory animal.
In Europe, it costs about 5,000 euros to raise a marmoset, and a relatively large macaque costs euros. However, in China, it only costs 8,000 yuan to raise a macaque that can be used for medical experiments.
The low cost of Chinese experimental monkeys determines that the price will be even lower, which is a huge temptation for foreign research institutions and pharmaceutical companies.
This kind of monkey, which costs RMB 8,000, can be sold for RMB 8,000 on the market, with a gross profit of 50%.
With profits so huge, naturally some people are willing to make money from monkeys, and many "monkey raising" bases have emerged in China.
Guangxi, Hainan and other places have relatively concentrated monkey breeding bases. The raising of experimental monkeys also requires professional knowledge. As a monkey for scientific research, it not only needs to be physically healthy, but also mentally healthy, so their feeding conditions are very strict.
OK.
"Now our laboratory is profitable, not only to meet our own experimental needs, but also to make money. In our free time, we rent out part of the laboratory to some biomedical research and development institutions to conduct drug properties and toxicity experiments. We charge on a daily basis, and the charge for a project ranges from as little as
Hundreds of thousands, even millions." Director He was obviously very happy.
"I ate in the canteen at noon. There is a pig farm nearby. The boss is very familiar with me. I asked him to help me go to the slaughterhouse to buy some fresh meat and pig offal. I will be there later and start cooking as soon as the ingredients arrive." According to Lao He's introduction, there are usually dozens of people eating in this laboratory, and the chef in the cafeteria is his wife.
Later, Lao He took Yang Ping to visit the laboratory. The equipment of this laboratory is not only complete, but also very advanced. There is an operating room with very sophisticated surgical anesthesia equipment, including extracorporeal circulation equipment, which means that it can simulate
Heart surgery.
"When the scoliosis model is urgently needed, they usually remove the erector spinae muscles to make the scoliosis model. Professor Liang said that the model made by this method is not suitable for your experiment, so we selected
Experimental monkeys, all this category will be eliminated, and the monkeys prepared will have scoliosis caused by drug-induced teratology during the embryonic period, so that the soft tissue structure of the entire spine will be preserved intact." Director He is very professional in these matters.
People who are interested in their work and have a sense of professional honor will definitely be able to do a good job.
"Our suppliers are very mature in making other disease models, such as Parkinson's disease models, diabetes models, obesity models, middle cerebral artery occlusion models, hypertension monkey models, and renal failure models. They all do a good job. They also
There are experimental monkeys that carry specific genes and are used to create special models such as AIDS. However, they are not very skilled in making scoliosis models. I have to participate in the guidance every time. My method of making scoliosis models is
Professor Liang taught me." Old He talked eloquently, and when he talked about experimental animals, he was very excited.
The business of experimental animals is also very professional. For example, the production of these models requires special breeding or drug injection to make monkeys suffer from the same diseases as humans, so that they can be used to study related drugs to treat diseases.
The specific method has a high technical content. Using drugs to create models, when to use drugs, what drugs to use, and how much drugs to use are very particular. It is also not easy to make a high-quality disease model.
After visiting the laboratory, Lao He took Yang Ping for a walk around the laboratory. This place could be used as a tourist attraction with a little development.
The laboratory probably invested a lot of money at that time. The animal island alone was built artificially, and the surrounding isolation rivers and animal rest areas were all very well done.
The animal resting area has swings, slides, seesaws, wooden houses, etc. for these monkeys to play and play.
Around lunch time, Lao He received a call. Fresh ingredients had arrived. He asked the owner of the pig farm to get them, so he asked the driver to drive to pick them up. He told the driver not to delay, put the ingredients in the cockpit, turn on the air conditioner, and get the ingredients.
Hand it over to the kitchen immediately when you come back. The other ingredients don't matter. The offal must be fresh to make it delicious.
The driver drove the Haval out again. In fact, the traffic was very convenient. The roads were all made of cement. Compared with the cement roads in rural areas, they were much wider and still had two lanes.
Yang Ping was very reassured by the conditions of this kind of laboratory. If he hadn't come here in person, he wouldn't have known the details. After inquiring about it like this, he had a clear idea. Many animal experiments can be done by them in the future.
In terms of technology, there is no need to worry at all, Lao He and these staff are very professional.
Those who are specifically engaged in research work are all graduate students from Peking University, so there is no problem.
Several young people came back in a pickup truck. Lao He said: "These are Ph.D.s from Concorde. They know how to play. After work, they often go fishing. I heard you came today, so I asked them to catch a few fish."
, I don’t know what the harvest will be like.”
The young man parked the car. There was a large bucket in the bed of the pickup truck. Two people climbed up and lifted it down.
"Let me see, it's not bad."
Lao He took Yang Ping over and saw several big fish in the bucket, causing the water to splash.
"Send it to the kitchen." Lao He ordered.
"This is Dr. Yang!" Lao He thought of introducing him.
Several young people immediately greeted him respectfully. They may be familiar with Yang Ping's situation and were recommended by Professor Liang personally, so they seemed a bit restrained.
"Have you bought all the drinks? Beer, you can't miss the beer."
Old He yelled, and it was obvious that he usually got along very well with these young people.
"This car is so dirty, go wash it." Lao He felt sorry for the car.
The young man drove the car aside, picked up the faucet, and started washing the car.
"Look, if you need anything else for the experiment then, just tell me."
Lao He took Yang Ping to read it and asked Yang Ping.
Each experimental project has its own specific requirements, so He needs to prepare in advance.
"If monkeys are used for spinal surgery, is there a spinal surgery position that can stabilize the monkey?"
Yang Ping just took inventory and this is the only thing missing.
"Yes! There are several of them, in the warehouse."
Lao He knows the equipment well.
"That's good. Our spinal external fixator experimental product has not left the factory yet. Once it leaves the factory, I will contact you and courier it. We will do the external fixation insertion surgery. You have to help with daily adjustments." Yang Ping said simply.
Talk about division of labor.
Lao He said: "Well, in the afternoon, I have arranged a time for you to give a lecture. Then the Ph.D.s from the Union Medical College will be responsible for your project."
In the kitchen, Lao He's wife sent a message asking for Lao He's help.
"You go and do your work, I'll take care of myself."
Yang Ping looked around in the laboratory yard, and several doctors came over to strike up a conversation.
